I have doubts

I have been having nagging doubts that I have been truly saved. It is scary and distressing. What the problem is that I am not sure if I am truly born again or that my name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. I am not sure if I sincerely accepted Jesus as Savior or if I have a belief that the prayer saved me. I'm not sure if it is a lie from the enemy or if God is trying to tell me something or something in the flesh. I need help on this. I pray that I will be assured of my salvation and I feel bad that I am doubting God's salvation.

Welcome back, heart.

Nice to see your voice again.

Has anything improved?

How are you and your mother doing?

Let us know how you are.
Lord, I come to you in prayer for heart.

Bring her into a new place of deliverance in you.

I bless her with health and wholeness.

I bless her with wisdom and prosperity.

Please give her real assurance of your Presence in her life.

In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Heart, if you confess (speak out loud) that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, then you do have the assurance of salvation. It is not salvation by the prayer, but rather by the blood of the Lamb, and the belief in Him who saves you.

Yes, it is the enemy speaking lies about your salvation. He (satan) is the father of lies, and only wants to steal, kill and destroy you. There is a real battle for your soul--but Jesus wins, if you trust in Him and lean not on your own understanding.

Oh my friend you have a wonderful quest.
If you are not sure
Then become sure.
Wrestle for your salvation.
It is worth it.

Did not Jacob wrestle till he knew?
Did not Moses wrestle?
Did not David wrestle?
Did not Paul wrestle?

Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].

2Cr 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
2Cr 10:4 (For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;
2Cr 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
2Cr 10:6 And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.
2Cr 10:7 ¶ Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he [is] Christ's, even so [are] we Christ's.

Jhn 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
(even Jesus had to overcome the devil)

Rev 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

Do I need to ask God for the assurance of my salvation? What else do I need to do? My mom is doing better, Rachel.
