Are You A Backslider Who's Sick Of Backsliding?
By: David Hopkins
Wed, Jun 22, 2005
If you're a backslider you need to know what causes you to backslide. If you don't, do you at least know how to get back right with God? But most importantly, how to prevent yourself from backsliding in the first place? If not, you'll discover the answers to those all important questions in this article.
Which Type Of Backslider Are You?
According to Jesus in one of His famous parables there are three ways a person can backslide. (Mark 4:3-20).
Seed that falls by the wayside, seed that falls on stony ground, and seed that falls among thorns.
Seed that falls by the wayside is the word of God that you get but don't understand. The devil comes immediately causing you to forget. Then you go back to what you're used to doing and you backslide.
Seed that falls on stony ground is the word of God that you get and understand but it's not rooted inside you. So when the devil comes with hard times you can't handle it. This offends you, so you get mad and backslide.
Seed that falls among thorns is the word of God mixed in with the cares of this world, pursuit of riches, and other lusts. This chokes the word before it can produce and you go back to doing what the world does, give up and backslide.
How To Turn Back From Backsliding
A backslider is a Christian who withdraws him or herself away from devotion to God and His word to go back under the control of a self-pleasing spirit.
"The backslider in heart shall be filled with his own ways..." (Proverbs 14:14).
This occurs when fear somehow replaces the faith you have in God. It then causes you to run away from the spirit of God back into the sinful world of the flesh to satisfy your doubt and unbelief.
This means you must be careful not to mix yourself up with former sins and addictions like you did in the past. But if you do there will come a time when you regret it. Your soul will long to be back depending on the Lord your God for direction and guidance. You may even be experiencing these feelings right now as you're reading this article. But don't worry.
God said, "Return, ye backsliding children, and I will heal your backslidings..." (Jeremiah 3:22).
So how do you return to God? "Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord." (Acts 3:19). Therefore repent, get back into the word, and let God blot out your sins. It's that simple. Just pray and ask God to forgive you and clean you up.
What Backslider Prevention Technique?
Right before telling another one of His famous parables Jesus said, "That men ought always to pray, and not to faint." (Luke 18:1)
The keyword in that sentence is the word faint. This is just another way of saying backslide. Jesus is talking about "praying without ceasing" or stopping. (1 Thessalonians 5:17). You should do this instead of giving up and backsliding.
The parable goes on to explain how a wicked judge who had no regard for God avenged a widow even though he could care less whether justice was done for her or not. Yet He avenged her because she showed initiative, was persistent, didn't give up and kept asking him. Because of this he said in his heart "Yet because this widow troubleth me, I will avenge her, lest by her continual coming she weary me."
The point of the parable is if a wicked judge avenges a widow simply on the basis of her continual asking, "shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them?" The answer of course is an astounding YES! So don't forget to keep praying to God without giving up until He gives you whatever you ask Him to do for you.
For example: if the devil steals some word from you, or if hard times come, or even if you love money and sex a little bit too much you can keep praying to God to deliver you from whatever it is that causes you to backslide. Don't be afraid because eventually He will heal you of your backsliding and you will be free. So don't ever give up on praying to God no matter how you feel or how bad your situation looks.
In conclusion, it is also extremely important that you continue to pray after God has forgiven you, and cleanses you and when you are in good standings with Him. Because Jesus said, "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." (Matthew 26:41).

This morning, after recommiting my life to the lord, i
did a search on backsliding. shortly after i came
across your page. i just wanted to thank you for
helping me to understand what's happening a little
better. i have been backslidden for over a decade now,
and i so long to return to god. i am struggling with
the doubts (as usual) that god will take me back. your
article was almost like god was speaking to me
personally.

Thank you for this. it's funny that you posted this
today. like corrina, i just googled backsliding and i
was about to give up with no answer but i made one more
look... i have been saved for over 2 years and already
backslidden once, it was horrible. i felt myself
withdrawing from him again but have no one to go to. my
church home is broken. but i can pray. i haven't been
praying for about a week now. anyway, thank you.

I think if you are someone like me, reading this
article on backsliding because you believe that you
have turned away from the lord yet again and may not be
worthy of forgiveness, than you can be comforted in the
fact in your heart you realize that you have turned
away from him but that his forgiveness is infinitely
larger than our capacity to stray! praise be to god who
loves us beyond understanding.

Jay, just hang in there! as you have read above we are
all sailing in the same boat. god is a forgiving god
and he alone will reunite you with his holy spirit. in
my trial i have felt seperated as yourself. on the
otherhand little by little through obedience god is
allowing me to feel his presence once again. i'm sure
he's there for you as well. study his word and ask for
his understanding and he'll show up! may god bless you!

Recently i fell into the sin of adultery. i have been
married going on 9 years, i left my church just this
week where i was ordained. i feel like such a hypocrit,
what kind of reverend am i. i know god is married to a
backslider and is forgiving, i just can't forgive
myself. after i committed the sin of adultery, i found
myself drinking, and now i listen to secular music
again. i don't know how i allowed myself to get here.
pray for me please

Dear queana,
first and foremost, there is none perfect, but the
father. when the woman at the well confessed her sins
to jesus he forgave her and told her to sin no
more...the men who wanted to condemn her, jesus stated
to them "he who is without sin be the first to cast the
stone." god is a merciful god and he is a forgiving
god!

For jay and everyone!!
passage romans 8:31-40:
nothing can separate us from god’s love
31 what shall we say about such wonderful things as
these? if god is for us, who can ever be against us? 32
since he did not spare even his own son but gave him up
for us all, won’t he also give us everything else? 33
who dares accuse us whom god has chosen for his own? no
one—for god himself has given us right standing with
himself.

I've been separated from my wife for almost 2yrs now.
during this time i started talking to a woman on
facebook, long story short i slept with her and now she
says she is pregnant with twins of mine. i've been
sober since then (7 days as of today) and have asked
forgiveness to god. i just get so overwhelmed and don't
know what to do. i'm scared to tell my wife this
because i'm afraid it'll deal the final blow to my
marriage. i don't love this woman that is pregnant.

forgiveness.

I've been backslidden for 25 years now, last month my
lovely wife died at age 40. i left the house for only a
moment to get food came back, she was gone. she was
actively searching for the lord but don't know if she
got saved. i'm broken hearted, filled with guilt. i’m
not sure what to live for now but i’ve asked jesus to
forgive me. i’m not sure if he’s tired of me running to
him only when in trouble. please pray for me, ask the
lord to have mercy on my wife. thanks.

Queana, i think i originally backslid because of guilt
(i was having sex out of wedlock) instead of just
asking for forgiveness and going back to the lord, i
just started to get worse doing more sin, having more
guilt, forgetting jesus. now after my situation, i have
a lot of doubt but hopefully he hasn’t forgotten me. i
pray that you ask for forgiveness and he saves you from
your sin.

I stopped going to church about 3-4 years ago. i
really miss it. the main reason why i stopped going
was because i felt the lord was convicting me to make
restitution in something i was involved with many years
ago. i'm worried if i try to make things right, i will
end up in prison. i've already been to prison once,
and i really don't want to go back. i have already
made alot of restitution, and i got fed up with it, so
i stopped everything.

it and by doggone it, i looked at the date and, it was

and i've anguished over "will god take me back?" for a
very long time, now. i'm reminded of the prodigal son.
backsliding leaves a rawness that is hard to recover
from.

again. i made my boyfriend my god whilst i continued to
worship god. it was such a mess i was still going to

Can i ask one question though? what do you do when some
of your friends do not know jesus, nor do they want to,
and your best friend is gay? do you keep loving on them
and showing them god is the way, or do you move on and
surround yourself with supporters who have the same
beliefs as you...?
thank you.

Emily, in answer to your ? about your friends...the
scripture says "bad companions corrupt good manners."
i know it is hard to find friends that share the same
values but one must love the lord more than friends and
pleasures of this world.

The lord loves us and he will never let us go. the lord
jesus says that he has not lost one that the father has
given him. i have saved for 10 yrs and was recently
tempted to backslide. i moved away from my family and
support network to take a job in a new state and i
became very vulnerable. i prayed to the lord to keep me
and he did!we have an advocate in jesus christ who is
seated at the right hand of the father who prays for us
because as we are tempted he was likewise tempted.

Joan,
perhaps you weren't saved to begin with. salvation is
in christ, not in us. if we could earn it, we wouldn't
need a savior. "if we confess our sins, he is faithful
to forgive us." paul wrote in the book of romans that
a war was going on within us and the good we want to do
we don't do; however 'there in now no condemnation for
those who are in christ.' i sincerely hope you put
your trust in his finished work and not your own.

Greetings you all. i have been child of lord jesus from
a very young age. but, from a very young age i started
backsliding. in high school i became interrested in the
things of the devil through heavy metal music. after
school, for a few years i could not even pray. 11 years
ago i returned to the lord. the past 11 years i had the
habit of backsliding severely and returning to the
lord. anyway, this is the first place i find fellow
backsliders like me. may all of us become steadfast in
the lord.

Hey justin,
just letting you know you’re not alone in your
struggles and backsliding. it’s certainly not easy.
struggling with sin, backsliding and to top it
off…god’s words…and possibly finding them
threatening…is much to handle at times. let’s pray for
god’s never ending mercy, forgiveness, patients and
compassion. we are all very very broken.
and if satan is telling you something…then you know
not to listen…it can only end in lies.
be well justin…hang in there.

comes in knowing that you are secure in christ and that

mean we are truly saved?
if we are saved we should still try to be a better
person. i know we cannot go to god on the day of
judgement and say, "look what i beat or look at the
things i have corrected."
didn't jesus say in king james bible
"be ye therefore perfect, even as your father which is
in heaven is perfect."

Focus on the 'works' that christ did, not on what you
must do. the early christians were mainly jews that
had synagogues in every city and they could not
overcome the 'works' issue and tried to include
circumcision and other things, just like most of you
here. that is what is meant by 'examining yourself to
see if you are in christ.' faith in christ plus no
works will deliver a person from the curse of sin and
death.

im in a relationship with a guy who is a new believer
and we fornicate. i feel like im dieing inside and i
dont like what i am becoming. of course it is hard to
leave because i love him. just need a support group
with people my age who understand the struggle and
loneliness that often comes with having to choose gods
way even when it means you may have to let go of
someone you love.pray 4 gods enablement a strong
conviction in both of our hearts. thanks

Lakisha,
i will pray for you. i am not a saint either. i
repent but i still make some of the same mistakes.
perhaps you need to explain to him how you feel. if
he is a new believer than he should feel the same way
and should feel convicted too i believe. perhaps if
you say something to him it might remind him.

I have told him. he also gets drunk alot and goes to
bars and clubs. im not judging him but thats something
that i know that i persoanlly cant deal with in a long
term relationshiop. the anxiety of wondering what hes
doing every time he goes out with friends drinking at a
bar is too much for me to handle. especially since he
puts himself in shady situations.

By walking in faith and obedience, we may count on the
holy spirit to do a divine and most blessed work in us.
if we live by the spirit, let us also walk in the
spirit. this is the obedience that god requires. by
faith in the holy spirit who is in us, we have
sufficient strength to walk by the spirit and yield
ourselves to his mighty power. then, he can work in us
to will and to do all that is pleasing in god's sight.

I'm struggling because even though i've been a
backslider for many years i thought jesus would always
“look out for me”. jesus allowed my wife to die at only
age 40. i took her to a doctor and he misdiagnosed her,
i found her dead 8 hours later, did cpr on her, begging
the lord for one heartbeat, he wouldn’t do it. she had
a brain aneurism. she was seeking jesus and reading a
lot of christian literature, but don't know if she got
saved. i’m mad at the lord now.

Pete,
you need to make the best of this situation you can.
only god and your wife know.
somethings we have no control over. i believe in the
bible it speak of family and friends being saved and
other relatives don't. pray to god to bring peace to
your heart about this. your wife was searching perhaps
she was saved and didn't know how to confront you about
your salvation.

I feel a little guilty for asking this question when so
many on here are struggling with really terrible
situations…but i have a question to pose to anyone out
there that i have been struggling with. can anyone
really explain to me romans 9:18-23? what does this
really mean for us that struggle so much? should we be
afraid of god? and how can we be sure where we fit in
to that bible verse? i think it’s an important question
and one that most churches won’t address.
thanks

Bill, you shouldn't feel guilty about asking a legit
question. i'm no expert but i do know that one must
always ask 'who, what, when, where,' before arriving at
a conclusion. verses and chapters were not the
original purpose. heck the entire nt wasn't even
around then. all they had was moses and the prophets
or law/prophets. so the bereans examined the
scriptures daily to see if the things paul taught were
true.

the jews(as referring to the israelites) and not only
the tribe of judah, which is the origin of 'jew.' had
been scattered all over the world at that time and had
temples in every city. they still adhered to the old
covenant laws, which they thought brought favor with
god. paul was trying to tell them they couldn't earn
salvation that it was totally dependent on god
sacrificing his son and faith in that finished work.

Somewhere in romans paul said, 'blessed is the man who

truly formed in them. the old covenant age ended in 70
ad. from moses till then the law reigned. before
then, abel, noah and abraham were all declared
righteous by faith w/o works. it was and has always

Thank you judith for taking the time to answer and for
your kind words. i’m not sure if you understood my
question but basically in romans chapter 9 verses 18 to
23 it speaks about god deciding to make some for
salvation and some for destruction? it’s a really tough
section…and a frightening one. i really wish paul
didn’t make these statements…it makes one doubt if god
truly loves each and every individual. and if he
doesn’t…how can one ever be sure of that love?

come creeping back. salvation is in him, not me....

have to put my helmet back on when i read it. thanks

Hello everyone...
this is certainly a great site for christians who
struggle. i usually find myself hiding my struggles
when at church...but here i think we all can be a
little more open with one another. i think this site
can be an avenue to support one another...anyone agree?
god bless...

You are right. i have read a lot of things in this web
site that has helped me. i am still having a hard
time, but still trying to keep my faith in the lord.
i'm not where i want to be with the lord, but hope this
will pass. i got the joy of the lord back at one time
after being backslid for fifteen years. looking for
that joy and strength again.

God put the perfect book in my path several months
before i returned to god, and this book was the big
stepping stone that helped me: when godly peoploe do
ungodly things - by beth moore. people sometimes leave
god because of buried pain and she has immense sympathy
for those people. backsliders need this book
desperately.

Can i just say that i struggled with hebrews and asked
my dad about it. he made it very clear to me that god
is specifically talking to the jews in hebrews who were
going back to the old law that jesus had told us doesnt
count. hebrews was saying that if the jews feel the law
is more important than faith in jesus they are
effectively crusifying jesus all over again and this
cannot be forgiven. effectively it's blasphemy. once we
are saved we are saved, but we dont want to be at the
back of the line in heaven with our heads hung low. we
want to walk in bodly! :)

Dear zoe,
i served the lord for years and i don't know what
happen. i try to pray and get back to him and nothing
works. just in bondage again. when i try to get back
to him i just feel worse. just can't find his peace
anymore. i can't explain how awful this is. i want to
be back with the lord, but it seems like he won't take
me back. please pray for me. thanks and god bless you

Terry. it's easy to tell ourselves that we are not
worthy of god's forgiveness or love. this however is
what satan tells us, and not what god tells us. god
says 'i will never leave you or forsake you'. if we
didn't sin and disappoint god there would have been no
reason for jesus to have died for us. jesus talks about
bringing back the lost sheep. he rejoices when someone
who has strayed returns to them. don't doubt that jesus
loves you! get rid of your doubt and surround yourself
with god's word, with prayer, with christian music,
with christian people and trust that god has a plan for
you. it's your doubt that is getting in the way.
rejoice in that you belong to god!!! you do!! as long
as you have accepted that jesus died for you and asked
him in your life you are saved because you believe.
thats amazing!! now all u need to do is get your shoes
on and walk for christ! don't stop praying! get rid of
your guilt and your doubt and know that you are his.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall
find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
jesus doesnt expect you to do it on your own!! he
understands, and he still loves you but you need to
trust him, thank him and pray pray pray. surround
yourself with his word, music, videos. change what your
spirit is feeding on!! and god will give you strength
to over come any sin, it's only hard now because all
youre feeding on is earthly stuff, and avoiding god!
you have to do the opposite. if you struggle or mess
up, pray. dont feel like you can't pray you must!
remember the parable of the lost son in luke:15. the
father celebrated when his rebelious son returned to
him. don't let satan tell u anything different.

I have been under demonic oppression for 4 and a half
years now. i can see the enemy in my mind's eye. last
month i woke up with rage all over me - wanting to kill
my daughter. i admitted myself into the hospital and
was there 2 weeks. now i'm on all kinds of meds. i've
also lost my job. i have had hate in my heart for my
daughter and husband due to her autism, and both of
their
resistance to me in doing what's right. i am in a
stronghold! the enemy steals the word from me at night
while i'm sleeping. i want to and need to come back to
the lord but i do not have any conviction/remorse about
this.
i am just extremely tired of the fight and so close to
turning completely away from the lord to the devil.
please pray for me.

and also been in hospitals and on medication. i live
in fear everyday so i don't have the answer. sorry

Bill and terry,
i found a website that may help you:
http://www.worldinvisible.com/library/nee/sprtmnv3/part
9chapter4.htm - anything by watchman nee is deep.
i also found another website with many articles to
help you in your walk:
http://www.greatbiblestudy.com/love_relationship.php
it is good to know how the enemy works and be on
guard, however i'm noticing that i need to turn my
attention away from him and put it on christ and his
love for me.
i prayed for you both: that the annointing of the holy
spirit will break every yoke of bondage you are under
bringing about freedom in your mind, will and emotions.
jesus went through longsuffering and he is walking
beside you in all of this. just know he loves you and
will never let you go. a suggestion from a minister
friend of mine: read the psalms slowly looking at it
through the eyes of love and grace towards you and let
jesus love on you.

i found another excellent website for you to look
into:
http://www.bible-knowledge.com/bible-articles/
number 5 and number 6 are excellent.
call a local spirit filled church (assembly of god,
non-denominational, etc) and ask if they know of any
deliverance ministries in your area. sometimes you
cannot fight this on your own and need outside help.
those ministries do not charge anything to help you.
let me know what you find out, okay?
jesus loves us and wants us free. we will get free of
these demons! praying for you- liz

Dear liz,
i will look up the websites. don't know any
deliverance ministers, but can ask around and see if i
can find one. i feel condemnation over something i
done. i loaned a dvd to a brother and he wouldn't give
it back and i ask him for it back and he said he didn't
know where it was. i got mad and sent the people he
works for a letter accusing him of being a thief. i
knew i done wrong and tried to get the letter back
before it got to their address, but post office said i
couldn't because it didn't have a return address.
haven't felt the lord since then three years ago.
thenks,

Terry,
yours is a simple issue. try to apologize to the
people at his place of employment and also try and
apologize to the person you got mad at. once you have
done all you can do to humble yourself and do the right
thing, (even if they do not/or cannot accept your
apology, then forgive yourself
and receive god's forgiveness. thant's it. you will be
free.
three years is three years too long to be under
condemnation. jesus wants you free and the devil has
succeeded in keeping you in bondage. accept god's
forgiveness and don't look back.
blessings,

Right, the problem you all have is that you are telling
yourselves you are not worthy of belonging to jesus.
you are not sinners. you are already the riteousness of
christ jesus. god has already paid the price for your
sins through jesus. as for feeling bitterness and anger
and rage and mental health issues. satan is attacking
you when you are weak. where is your faith?! rebuke
your illnesses, depression, anger and doubt in the name
of jesus, repent of your doubt and anger and do not
stop reading your bibles. expect attack from satan,
because it's when youre not being attacked you should
be worried. satan attacks those who he fears are strong
in the lord!! don't hold back from guilt thats the
worst thing you can do. jesus loves you!! reach out to
him!!! god bless you :)x

I have severe depression, and in agony almost to the
point of losing my sanity over my failures. i just cant
seem to accept god's love because i can't love myself.
i am backslidden and sometimes i wonder if i was ever
saved. i feel like i wasn't meant to survive and my
backsliding only strengthens that. i'm tired of crying
over sin only to fall back into it. please pray for
me...signed, at the end of my rope.

Dear christopher,
her is what got me back to the lord one time. repent
again and find a church in your area that baptizes in
the name of jesus christ instead of the titles of
father, son and holy ghoist and get rebaptized in the
name of jesus christ according to acts 2:38. jesus gave
peter the keys to the kingdom and acts 2:38 is what god
said through peter to do to receive salvation. type in
william branham at youtube.com and watch as many videos
you can.

get this book: victory in spiritual warfare by tony
evans.
i have suffered from depression and thought i was
going to lose my mind. this book is so sound and will
bring peace to your soul. all the father asks is that
you believe jesus - not religion. jesus himself is the
way.

Hi christopher,
i’m a perpetual backslider myself…so i understand to
some extent your struggle. but hang in there chris.
remember how gentle jesus dealt with the sinners…but
harsh with the “religious” of the day. it may not feel
like it…but jesus loves you…and desires to be gentle
with you too. we usually give up on ourselves long
before god ever gives up on us. and don’t underestimate
the psychological games satan will play with your mind.
i have followed liz’s reading recommendation in the
past…and it’s been very helpful. i would recommend
reading what she suggests. god bless you christopher…i
pray god to strengthen you…and help you to see his love
and passion for you.

harsh with the “religious” of the day. it may not feel
like it…but jesus loves you…and desires to be gentle
with you too. we usually give up on ourselves long
before god ever gives up on us. and don’t underestimate
the psychological games satan will play with your mind.
i have followed liz’s reading recommendation in the
past…and it’s been very helpful. i would recommend
reading what she suggests. god bless you christopher…i
pray god to strengthen you…and help you to see his love
and passion for you.
Christopher 03 Dec 2011

know how much it helps!

Awsome! i'm growing each day! i'm learning every day
and learning so much about gods mercy. the most
important thing is being sure that god loves us. and
applying love in everything we do. i'm trying to read
my bible every day and not just read it but study it
with other books now. fun christian books remind me
gods got a sense of humour. christian tapes and radio
when i'm feeling weak. i really have found god speaks
to me on there when i'm falling away from my bible. its
a constant battle but its the best battle in the world!
satan get behind me in the name of jesus. i got my war
boots on. you won't win cos you've already been
defeated by the blood of jesus. this is the attitude we
must all have. every day is a new day. don't let satan
tell you different. satan doesn't want you to think
you're on a journey he wants you to think you've fallen
are stuck are not worthy. you already have authority
over all things. realise it. god bless guys. i'm still
trecking x

Thank you for caring bill. its one day at a time. god
is soooooooooooooooo good!i am blessed! i thank god
that he is who he is! we are so fortunate to have the

a key of growth. the more we concentrate on the needs
of others, the closer we get to god.

Bill,
i have been struggling with anxiety since sunday.i am
still trying to nail it down. i found a great book by
joyce meyer titled "straight talk". it appears to have
the answer i'm looking for. the book is help and
encouragement to combat depression, discouragement,
fear, insecurity, loneliness, stress and worry. i am
diving in to it now.

I have struggled as a backslider for some time now.
everything seems senseless to me at the moment perhaps
because i have been struggling with problems and feel
that when is god going to give me a turn to have
something go right for me for a change. its like the
wicked are getting blessed and the good are suffering
all the time and i get so angry about it. i want god to
be real to me.... not a fuzzy memory...

Christina,
what has happened is you have lost your first love.
you can rekindle the love you once had by getting the
focus off of yourself and your problems. spend time in
worship where your mind is totally focused on the lord.
if you don't have a church get in one that believes
the bible and moves in the gifts of the holy spirit.
also i recommend a book by beth moore entitled,
"praying god's word". i believe the combination of
these three things will get you back on track. god
bless you.

Hello, i think where people get in trouble is when they
first repent god delivers you from a lot of things and
you are on fire for the lord. you have found that
pearl of great price and throw away everything to serve
him. then over time the devil knowing your weakness
slowly brings things you were delivered from back into
your life. it can be so subtle that you don't even
realize it. satan wants you to be a seed that grows up
among thorns and gets chocked out. then you lose your
first love for the lord and start to cool off and
before you know it satan has you too busy or just
enjoying some worldly things and you start to lose your
desire to read and pray and serve the lord like you
want. the lord isn't gone, but he will let you have
the desires of your heart because he has given you a
free will. use your free will to dig up those things
the devil has put back on you.

Terry 17 Aug 2012
Getrude, hope you are doing better. i know it is hard
to get rid of those things the devil has put back on
you. when people get off the main path they follow a
path that comes to an end. they can't go back in time
to get back on the right path. you have to go through
the weeds and stickers to get back. satan will remind
you about the things you done wrong and try to condemn
you. just keep your helment of salvation on and don't
listen to his lies he puts in your mind where the
battle is. remember, jesus said i will never leave you
or forsake you. keep your thoughts and mind on him.
he will restore the rest in your soul and mind and give
you faith. if you fall getting back on the path just
get up and continue until you are back on the right
path and you will then know jesus is leading you
everyday. jesus breaks every fetter. god bless!

Thinks for your encourging words. i think sometimes
the devil tries to get out minds on what people are
doing. we know sin will grow worse here in the end
times until the cup of inquity is full. just be like
those three monkeys, see no evil, hear no evil and
speak no evil. don't let anything get between you and
jesus christ. keep your mind on him and where we are
going and not on the things of the earth. jesus is
comming soon and his bride has made herself ready.

I've also been backsliding many, many times.. it
somehow makes me guilty of whether god will still
forgive me because i repeatedly sin against him.. and
sometimes, i sin despite knowing that god's heart will
be broken. i always seem to forget the good things that
god has done for me. now, i wanted to ask god's
forgiveness again, but what i think i need is for me to
forgive myself and believe that god loves me even
though i break his heart many many times. help me grow
as a christian.

Elle, what got me back to the lord one time was getting
rebaptized in the name of jesus christ. peter who had
the keys to the kingdom said in acts 2:38 to be
baptized in the name of jesus christ. matt. 28:19
jesus told his deciples to baptize in the name of the
father, son and holy ghost. then 10 days later they
ask peter what to do to be saved. peter told them to
be baptized in the name of jesus christ. why didn't he
say father, son and holy ghost? because he had the
revelation of who the father , son and holy ghost is,
the lord jesus christ. you can find a church that
baptizes in the name of jesus christ at
www.branham.org.
god bless!

Chris 27 Dec 2012
I have backslidden many times and the last time got so
bad that i rationalized my sin and felt like there was
nothing wrong with it and i didn't need a savior...the
gospel became "foolishness to me". i denounced my
faith to family and friends claimed to be agnostic and
argued that i could not believe in a god that would
send people to hell. just over the past two weeks i
have been convicted of my arrogance and sin and am
pursuing the savior jesus but i fear that it is of my
flesh and not his spirit...i am praying that god will
lead me down the path of true repentance but am often
frightened that hebrews 6 and 10 mean that i will only
have judgment to look forward to.

Chris, just repent again and find a church that
baptizes in the name of jesus christ instead of the
titles of father, son and holy ghost and get rebaptized
in the name of jesus christ. go to vog recordings at
branham.org and find a church in your area that
baptizes according to acts 2:38. also go to google.com
and type in william branham and watch some videos of
god's end time prophet to the gentiles who has the
spirit of elijah. god will take you back because he
wouldn't have called you in the first place if he
didn't have a purpose for your life. acts 2:38 is
god's provided route to himself. you have to do all
three parts of that verse.

knowledge of the truth. god no longer answers my
prayers and i feel like im under a terrible curse.

Hi sami,
its not too late , the first thing you need to
understand is god loved us even before we knew him .rom
5 vs 8
the devil is lying to you god does not condem you his
mercy endures for ever psalm 100vs 5 .god does not hate
you ,he hates the sin in you , and you are not the sin
you commit.the devil is the one who condems you , great
man of god in the bible sinned david commited murder
adultary etc , but still god said he is a man after my
heart , if you do wrong things to your natural father
does it mean you cease to be your father child , no the
same with god ,he is our father foerever, all you have
to do first is deal with the condenmation spirit by
knowing that nothing can separate you from the love of
god . to continue

To sami
second repent and ask your father god for forgiveness
he is faithfull to forgive us 1 john 1vs 9 .you also
need support of a good spiritual leader who will pray
for you for restoration and to break the power of satan
over your life . its not too late , you can over come
it , change your environment ,to avoid being hooked
again into those things ,it could mean avoid your
friends and places you hang out until you strong enough
to resist all the temptation , flee from whatever can
link you ,wrong music ,movies friends etc , keep your
self busy with things that encourage you for go ,church
meetings ,christian music ,etc. i will pray for you its
not too late as long as you are still breathing .

Hi sami,
i totally agree with getrude. she is spot on.
sami...a lot of us have been there and have been
through those scary verses. but as getrude stated, god
loves you more than you can imagine. those terrible
feelings you have are not from god...they are from
satan. follow what getrude stated...and keep praying
and keep your eyes on him. you may have failures but he
won't give up on you.
bless you sami...we will pray with you.

Dear sami, listen carefully. god hasn't left you or he
wouldn't have called you in the first place. here is
what to do. repent again and then get rebaptized in
the name of jesus christ according to acts 2:38. you
can find a church in your area by going to
wwww.branham.org. once you are rebaptized in the name
of jesus christ instead of the titles of father, son
and holy ghost god's spirit will deliver you and break
your fetters. after that go to www.youtube.com and
type william branham in the search and watch as many
videos you can. when you do what the word says then
you receive what the word says and acts 2:38 says after
you repent and are baptized in the name of jesus christ
you shall receive the gift of the holy ghost. got
bless!

Sami, all of your sins, past, present and future, are
already paid for; all you have to do is receive it!
also, if you are born again, you are a new creature;
all you have to do is believe it and walk in it. a
sinner is a sinner in nature first, and commits sins as
a result of being a sinner by nature. you are a new
creature, made righteous by god; believe it and walk in
it. it is christ living in you that enables you to live
a clean life; this does not occur because of your
will-power! that's the whole point; christ paid the
price for the sinner's sin, remakes him into a
righteous person thru adoption, then empowers him to
live righteously.

Remember romans 4:2-3 "for if abraham were justified by
works, he hath whereof to glory; but not before god.
for what saith the scripture? abraham believed god, and
it was counted unto him for righteousness"..it was
abraham's belief in god that made him righteous, not
his works. abraham performed righteous acts because he
believed that god made him righteous. we cannot justify
our salvation by our works; that's religion! it is
christ who justifies! believe that you are righteous
then walk in it!

The devil is a liar! god loves you and has proven it by
not sparing his son! do you think your accumulative
sins are greater than the blood of christ? his blood is
overpayment for the combined sins of the world!!! pray
to him, repent and ask for his forgiveness, then walk
in it! god bless you!

If you cover a pig with feathers and teach it to sing,
it still wont be a canary; as soon as it sees mud, it
will jump in because it is a pig. to be a canary, the
pig must die and be reborn as a canary. if it is reborn
as a canary, but still believes it is a pig, it will
act like a pig, even though it is a canary. so it is
with sinner and saint.

Well i know im on my way to hell, and everytime i try
to repent, satan oppresses me even worst and i dont
feel like im being helped. i just feel abandoned by
god. this has been going on for 2 years now. i have
more evidence that i cant be saved then i can be saved.
it seems like god is angry with me all the time because
ever since ive became a believer (8 years ago) ive been
disobedient and continue to sin.

Sami, put yourself in the right surroundings. are you
in a bible believing church that beliebes in the
infilling of the holy spirit? remember the battle is in
the mind and youre feeling like youve lost your
salvation because of the lies satan is putting in your
mind. a mind stayed on god is a peaceful mind. get in
church and go to evetything they offer. you need a
total lifestyle change to help yourself.

Hi sami,
i know you're going through a difficult struggle right
now. but please remember a couple of things. first, god
said he is faithful to forgive you when you
confess..he...is...faithful (1john 1:9). don't trust
yourself or satan...but trust god's promise. and you
can hold god to it. second, god's attitude toward you
is the same as his attitude toward the prodigal son.
read luke 15:11-24. read over and over and over until
it really sinks in. remember sami, there will be more
joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over
ninety-nine just persons who need no repentance. god
bless you.

Sami, god called gideon "a mighty man of valor" when he
was hiding from the midians; he believed god instead of
his circumstances and became a mighty man of valor!
don't believe the lies of the devil, your actions, your
emotions or thoughts..trust god!

Solomon under the shadow of the holy spirit, wrote in
proverbs, "as a man thinketh, so is he"..if you believe
you're doomed, you are. you must trust god; his power,
his love and mercy are infinitely greater than your
sins!

Sami, when god told abraham he was going to have a son,
abraham trusted in god's word (that god was willing and
able to accomplish what he said he would)instead of his
old, useless body, and he fathered a son! the tree that
is planted by living water bears fruit! you were dead
in sins before; he has quickened you unto life eternal!

Sami dont give up the horrible feeling you have are
tools that the enemy uses to get you to say in your
heart, i might as well keep on sinning since i'm lost
anyway, dare to believe that you free and try to use
your faith to stand against the feeling (lies) that the
enemy uses to try and destroy you.

Hello, david wilkerson was a good preacher, but he
preached before baptism in the name of jesus christ was
restored by god's prophet william branham. there are
only seven church age messengers and paul was the first
one and william branham is the seventh one. william
branham has the spirit of elijah which god uses five
times. he also fulfiled rev. 10:7 and malachi 4:5 and
6. you can listen to what god spoke through him at
branham.org. you can also watch videos of him by
typing william branham in search at youtube.com. john
who had the spirit of elijah fulfils the part of
malachi 6 that turns the hearts of the fathers to the
children and bro. branham fulfils the part that turns
the hearts of the children to their fathers. where
paul taught baptism in the name of jesus christ william
branham taught the same.

Sami, i already told you what to do to get back with
the lord. did you find a church that baptizes in the
name of jesus christ and get rebaptized? do you really
want to get back to the lord? remember everybody in
the bible was baptized in the name of jesus christ and
not the titles of father, son and holy ghost. those
are titles of the name. the name of the father, son
and holy ghost is the lord jesus christ and peter who
has the keys to the kingdom had that revelation and
that is why he said to be baptized in the name of jesus
christ in acts 2:38. repent again and do this second
part of acts 2:38 and god will do the third part and
give you the gift of the holy ghost. don't let satan
rob you of this truth. just act upon acts 2:38 and you
will receive the results of what that verse says.

You can go to voice of god recordings at branham.org.
from there you can get two books. one is an exposition
of the seven church ages and the other one is the
revelation of the seven seals. the revelation of the
seven church ages explains how the gentile dispenstion
which is 2000 years is divided into seven church ages.
each church age had a church age messenger. the seven
seals book explains how satan comes against the church
with a white, red, black and pale horse and how god
raised up a messenger to each church age to come
against what satan has done and will do. that is why
god raised up his prophet william branham here in the
last church age to call out his bride from these
churches that use a false baptism. the churches that
baptize in the titles of father, son and holy ghost are
the foolish virgins. those that hear what god spoke
through his prophet will get rebaptized in the name of
jesus christ and they are the wise virgins.

One should be cautious about any person who designates
himself a "special" messenger from god, and we should
be careful not to deify or reward accolades to any
person. god alone is worthy of praise, not man; we are
merely vessels. the ax cannot boast itself against the
hewer. i suggested a pastor to sami but that pastor is
also merely a vessel, as was elijah..

The point here is to convince sami that even sin cannot
separate one from the love of god, for god sent his
beloved son to die for us while we were sinners! there
is no formula for salvation that involves human input.
sami needs to repent, read the bible daily, meditate on
god's word daily, pray ceaselessly, obey and examine
the heart; we must choose god! return to god with all
your heart and he will cleanse you of all sins..

God has a fivefold ministry which includes prophets.
there is only one prophet sent to the gentiles here in
the last church age who is william branham. he has the
spirit of elijah and the only ministry to pull the
bride out of these denominational churches that stay
with the mother harlot's false baptism in titles of
father, son and holy ghost instead of the name of jesus
christ. god raised five men from the dead through his
prophet. william branham is a vindicated prophet.
what god done through him we don't give bro. branham
the credit, but we give credit to jesus christ who was
in bro branham doing the works that was done. it was
god speaking through his prophet william branham.
there is only one seventh church age messenger and that
is william branham. there won't be another.

There are many false prophets in the world and many
religions. there is only one truth which is the lord
jesus christ and only one true prophet to this
laodecian (last) church age who is william branham. we
don't treat his office anymore then the first church
age messenger paul. the word always comes to the
prophets and god always uses one prophet at a time.
brother branham is the only prophet that fulfils rev.
10:7, but in the days of the voice of the seventh angel
(earthly messenger) when he shall began to sound the
mystery of god should be finished as he hath declared
to his servents the prophets. one god and one prophet
to this age. hear ye him.

You can get an exposition of the seven church ages and

can also listen to all god spoke through him at this
website which is voice of god recordings. you can also
get his life story. you can get all his sermons in
print or on disk. at this website you can also read or
listen to all god spoke through his end time prophet to
the gentiles who has the spirit of elijah and who is
the seventh church age messenger. god uses the spirit
of elijah five times (grace). first on elijah then
elisah then john and then william branham and god will
use it one more time after he trurns back to the
gentiles which lays right in our future. william
branhan has thus saith the lord because it was god
speaking through his vindicated prophet. god spoke the
same truth through bro branham that he did through paul
and peter who had the keys to the kingdom. acts 2:38
is thus saith the lord.

In my last post i meant to say when god turns back to
the jews. not the gentiles. he has been taking his
bride out of the gentiles now for 2000 years. it is
almost over. we are right at the end of the laodecian
church age which is the last. the seventh church age
messenger has already come. now what god has spoke
through him is going all over the world pulling out his
bride from these organized religions. we now have thus
saith the lord spoke by god through his end time
prophet that takes his bride back to the truth they had
in the first church age where paul was the messenger.
to see who was the messengers to the second to the
sixth church ages get the revelation of the seven
church ages. you can accept acts 2:38 and get
rebaptized in the name of jesus christ or you can
reject that truth with your free will. the decision is
up to you. you are not ignorant of that truth now. or
you can stay with the false baptism in titles which
isn't a name at all.

Remember god hides himself in simplicity and reveals
himself in the same. the truth has to come by
revelation. god has to show it to you. it is hid from
the wise and prudent and revealed unto babes such as
would learn. just like the natural birth which types
the spiritual there is blood, water and then life. it
takes all three to be born again of the spirit. first
repent and you receive the blood and are delivered from
unbelief. many people stop there and receive the false
baptism in titles instead of the name of jesus christ
and don't get the baptism of the holy ghost. second
get baptized in the name of jesus christ, water. then
the third god does himself and gives you the gift of
the holy ghost. many people repent have an experiance
and are delivered from unbelief but leave the second
part undone which keeps them from receiving the third
part of that verse, spirit, holy ghost.

Ya i cant even read the bible anymore because there is
some verses that terrify me so much. im probably going
to give up, ive been looking for hope for 2 years now
and nothing is changing. i cried out to god last night
begging and pleading for forgiveness, peace, and
another chance. god used to answer every prayer now he
just ignores me, just like the proverbs says "he
ignores the wicked" and isaiah says "no peace for the
wicked". whatever im going to hell and theres no way
out of it

for an excuse to give up on god, you'll find one even
if you have to conjure it up yourself. truth is, god
looooovvvvveeeees you with an infinite love that is
beyond human comprehension! jesus did not come to
condemn, but to save! why are you allowing the devil to
present a false image of god to you? god loves you! god
loves you!

because he allowed satan to paint a false picture of
god! don't let him do the same to you!

to after elisha because it wasn't written in his word.
i stay within the confines of god's word, where it is
safe, and wait for fresh revelations from the holy
spirit and from his ministers of the words which is
already written. i've not heard of the branhams but i
will look them up. thank you for the information.

Hi sami,
thank you for staying in touch on this site. sami…many
of us on this site are here because we have gone
through the terrible experience of
backsliding…sometimes many times over and over. we are
here as proof of god’s forgiveness and love. sami…i
want you to realize something. we are all
broken…terribly broken and full of sin…even if it’s
hidden in our hearts. you are no different from us all.
jesus died and paid the penalty for all of us. the only
difference for you…is your feelings of self
condemnation overwhelming you. and you best believe
that is exactly what satan wants you to feel.

scripture…feeling i was doomed forever without any hope
or pray…for the same reasons you stated. after burning
myself out with tears and fear…i realized god has been
telling me and all of us all along…we are hopeless and
completely sinful…that’s why jesus had to go through
that horrific experience…for me and for you sami…and
all of us. so don’t give up sami. dump all of it on
god’s shoulders…he heard you sami…now be still and let
him be your god again. don’t concentrate on your sins
sami…that’s god’s problem to fix. you concentrate on
getting to know who jesus really is and getting to know
how good god is.
and come back soon to your friends here on this site.

Hi sami,
one more thing...i want to leave you with just a few
of my favorite verses for you to meditate on...and
they're not frightening:
isa 1:18 "come now, and let us reason together," says
the lord, "though your sins are like scarlet, they
shall be as white as snow; though they are red like
crimson, they shall be as wool.
joe 2:13 so rend your heart, and not your garments;
return to the lord your god, for he is gracious and
merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness; and he
relents from doing harm.
2pe 3:9 the lord is not slack concerning his promise,
as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward
us, not willing that any should perish but that all
should come to repentance.

Thanks chris and bill. i do love those verses. i wish
my faith would grow but it never does. and my sins are
really bad and constant. i think of myself as wise,
judge others, commit adultery all day long, use drugs,
sell drugs, i dont take care of my sick grandparents, i
have purposely walked away from god after already being
cleansed from these very thingsand now im oppressed by
demons and i dont have any faith anymore,im also
separated from god and have no fellowship whatsoever.

Hey sami, you are in good company here, i struggle with
these verses as well..i posted about my struggles with
heb 6 and 10 just a couple of months ago, now i am
choosing to have faith in all the promises that
everyone has shared with you, but i still struggle with
those verses. my encouragement to you is allow those
verses to have their work in your life. when those
verses weigh on you b/c you have willfully sinned and
you have fallen away use that as an opportunity to
repent of your sin and turn to god. our sin is not
trite matter. again, i am believing that it is not to
late for me and it is not to late for you either, but
when you read those verses and feel condemned repent
and then praise god for his love and mercy! b/c that
condemnation would be a true just judgment on you and
all of us, but god in his love and mercy sacrificed his
only son on our behalf...dont disbelieve, believe!

Hang in there sami! dont give up! repent and turn to
god with your whole heart! if satan or his demons
oppress you with their lies (b/c he is the father of
lies) and they tell you of how your sin disqualifies
you; agree with them! your sin does disqualify
you...but that is only half the story...the other half
says that you are qualified by jesus christ alone! and
his requirement? believe!...the israelites that got bit
by the serpents just had to look on the serpent that
moses lifted up to be healed...and you just have to
look on jesus who heals your "disqualification"....

Finally, do any of my brothers and sisters on this site
have an understanding of these passages in hebrews? i
trust that god will either leave them in my life to
keep me humble and to tremble at his word. and if so
praise him! but if someone has a clear understanding on
hebrews 6 and 10 i would love to hear.
god bless you all...i love this thread and when i read
through it and i am reminded of jesus saying, "i come
not to call the righteous, but the sinners to
repentance" praise god our steadfast loving father and
jesus christ his son!

Chris, i found what you said really encouraging…and i
think you are spot on! as far as hebrews…it’s been
awhile since i studied those verses in 6 and 10. i
think part of the problem most of us have is that it’s
not really saying what it first sounds like. that book
is addressing a very specific audience. they were jews
struggling between walking with the new knowledge of
jesus’ sacrifice and the old way of sacrifice in the
old testament. i believe it is referring to what’s in
those believers mind…and not what god is saying of
himself. i’m going to re-study it again to have a
better answer. but as you know chris…if it meant what
we fear…then israel was finished a long long time ago.
and for that matter…so wouldn’t most
christians…including king david. so we know our first
impression of that scripture must be off.

Sami…you see…we are all struggling…your sins are no
worse than ours. believe sami, god loves you more than
you can possibly conceive. he’s not going to give up on
you…so don’t you give up on him. he is faithful to
forgive…it’s his promise to us…there is no debate on
that piece of scripture (1jo 1:9 if we confess our
sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins
and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness).

hebrews 10:26 for if we sin wilfully after that we
have received the knowledge of the truth, there
remaineth no more sacrifice for sins.
this verse gave me fear until i received the
revelational meaning of it. those who do this never
knew the lord. they are people who hear the word and
only receice the knowledge of it only and then refuse
to accept it. it doesn't apply to a person who has
repented and god made himself know to that person.
they don't just receive the knowledge of the truth, but
they receive jesus christ and cannot sin wilfully
seeing their nature has been changed. read romans 7:17
to 25. i will try to post it here if it isn't too
long. the word has to be revealed to you. it has to
come by revelation. 2 peter 3:16 says: as also in all
his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in
which are some things hard to be understood, which they
that are unlearned and unstable twist, as they do also
the other scriptures, unto their own destruction

When william marroin branham was born the angel of the
lord appeared above his bed in burksville, ky. it was
the same angel of the lord that led the children of
israel through the wilderness in a pillar of fire. the
angel spoke to bro. branham all his life. when he was
young the angel of the lore appeared to him in a
whirlwind in a tree and told him to never drink or
smoke or defile his body in any way because there would
be a work for him to do later. this was before he even
repented. later the angel of the lord appeared to him
and gave him his commission. the same angel came to
him each night when he preached the revelation of the
seven seals and gave him the revelation of each seal
before he preached them. to hear how the angel
appeared to him you can listen to the sermon titled,
how the angel came to me preached nov. 7, 1953. you
can read or listen to this sermon at branham.org.

Terry, none of what your saying about william branham
is scriptural, the only method of information the
christian should accept as fact; you refer to specific
occurrences as if they were indisputable facts. the
"angel of the lord" is not an angel at all, but
pre-incarnate christ, the same who accepted worship,
met joshua on the battlefield, moses in the burning
bush, wrestled with jacob and led israel through the
wilderness.

Sami, king david sinned willfully against the lord when
he had bathsheba's husband murdered and took her to be
his consort; god forgave him. jesus' disciples
willfully denied him and he forgave them. even after
israel's apostasy, god restored her. the question here
is do you want to be with lord or not? you abandoned
him; he will never abandon you. he died for you when
you didn't know him or cared to know him. remember
that.

you must now exercise faith. sometimes, god likes to be
wooed as well. this is after all, a love affair! seek
after god and he will turn to you!

Sami, i would also encourage you to look at repentance
itself a little bit different. try to not make it
conditional, such as; i confess or repent so that god
will...(specifically forgive and restore) instead
confess and repent b/c god's just judgement is true and
you agree with it...
for instance; when jonah preached to the ninevites and
told them of god's judgement on them, they repented,
but their response was not let us repent so that he
will forgive. instead it was let us repent and who
knows maybe he will forgive...the second repentance is
one that agrees with gods judgement...
all that to say christopher and getrude are totally
right as well...you must ground yourself in the truth
of his word including the fact that if we confess he is
faithful and just to forgive and cleanse...

Also, when your surroundings, circumstances and
feelings dont change for the better immediately it is a
great opportunity for you to exercise faith. think
about it, it is easy to believe when "all is right" in
our lives, but when you are in the valley it is a lot
more difficult...
one more thought...the prodigal son got to "the end of
his rope" before he realized that he could go home and
have a better life as his fathers servant...the bible
is silent about his journey home but i think it is safe
to speculate that when he started walking home he
probably struggled with a lot of doubts about how he
would be received by his father (probably a little bit
of a "valley" in itself) but what the bible is not
silent on is his fathers response...when he saw his son
on the horizon walking home his father ran to meet
him...

Sami in the 180 degree turn of repentance there can be
a lot of stuff to deal with...but ground yourself in
the truth, his truth is an anchor in life's
storms...and never give up! as long as their is breath
in your lungs there is still time to turn from yourself
and your own "righteousness" to him and his
righteousness

When the bible says jesus sets at the right hand of god
it doesn't mean jesus and god are two persons. jesus
christ is god. right hand means right hand of power.
the father, son and holy ghost is all three jesus
christ, not three gods. heathens believe in many gods,
but jesus said when you have seen me you have seen the
father. when you get baptized in the name of jesus
christ you receive this revelation. bro. branham was
visited many times by the angel of the lord. the same
angel paul spoke to.
it doesn't mean jesus and god are two persons. jesus
christ is god. right hand means right hand of power.
the father, son and holy ghost is all three jesus
christ, not three gods. heathens believe in many gods,
but jesus said when you have seen me you have seen the
father. when you get baptized in the name of jesus
christ you receive this revelation. bro. branham was
visited many times by the angel of the lord. the same
angel paul spoke to.

No man can look at god and live, but moses seen his
back parts and said it looked like a man. christopher,
the times god appeared like you said to joshua he was
in another form where he could appear to man. the
pillar of fire hung in the air in bro. branham's room
and then changed into a form that looked like a man and
gave bro. branham his commission. listen to what bro.
branham said about it himself at youtube.com. type

There is only one god and that is the lord jesus
christ. remember god hides his truth from the wise and
prudent and reveales it to his predestinated. jesus in
matt. 28:19 told his deciples to go and baptize in the
name (singular) of the father, son and holy ghost.
peter was standing right there. then 10 days later in
acts 2:38 he told the people he was preaching to to be
baptized in the name of jesus christ. why? peter had
received the revelation that the name of the father,
son and holy ghost is the lord jesus christ. not three
gods. i am a man and a dad and a person, but that
isn't my name. father, son and holy ghost are titles
of jesus christ. the word says everything yo do in
word or deed (baptism) do all in the name of jesus
christ. not his titles of father, son and holy ghost.
baptism in those titles is a catholic baptism that was
introduced by the false vine around 325 ad.

A bride always takes the groom's name. jesus is coming
for his bride he has been taking out of the gentiles
now for the last 2000 years. the word says his wife
has made herself ready. acts 4:12, neither is there
salvation in any other; for there is none other name
under heaven given amoung men whereby we must be saved.
it is important not to reject baptism in the name of
jesus christ. many people repent, but few go on to the
true baptism in the name of jesus christ. that is why
so many never receive the true baptism of the holy
ghost. when you receive the holy ghost who is god
himself and not a second person he will lead you into
all truth. the true baptism in the name of jesus
christ has now been restored by god through his end
time prophet. the same baptism paul and peter taught
and it was god himslef speaking through paul and peter
in his form of the holy ghost. not a third god. god
himself in one of his offices.

I was baptized in a catholic church when i was a baby.
i was raised as a catholic but i didnt become a
believer until i was 15. i stopped taking part in
catholic rituals when i came to know the bible (age
17). atm i feel like god is really against me because
when i came to christ i turned away because i loved my
sins more then i loved him, if i really loved him i
would of kept his commands. i feel like god is being
very severe with me, and the bible says that he is
severe to those who are fallen. i know it sounds like
im going crazy over this but this is the only thing on
my mind and im terrified that im going to hell.

Jesus is coming soon and will take his bride out of
this earth before the great triblation period sets in.
the wise virgins (those who has taken his name in
baptism and received the true baptism of the holy
ghost) will be the only ones that will go in the
rapture. the foolish virgins (those that have repented
and received the false catholic baptism in titles
instead of the name of jesus christ) will be left
behind and they will go through the tribulation period
because they didn't get oil (holy ghost) in their
lamps. the holy ghost comes after baptism in the name
of jesus christ. read acts 2:38 yourself. when god
spoke these words through peter acts 2:41 says, then
they that gladly received his word were baptized
(rebaptized) and the same day there were added unto
them about three thousan souls. added to the bride.
they were rebaptized in the name of jesus christ and
received the holy ghost. you will have to come the
same way.

Hebrews 12:5-6
and have you forgotten the exhortation that addresses
you as sons? “my son, do not regard lightly the
discipline of the lord, nor be weary when reproved by
him. for the lord disciplines the one he loves, and
chastises every son whom he receives.”
hebrews 12:11
for the moment all discipline seems painful rather
than pleasant, but later it yields the peaceful fruit
of righteousness to those who have been trained by it.

Sami as long as you are away from god you will have no
peace or rest in your soul. satan can only do what god
allows him to do. jesus (god) loves you or he wouldn't
have called you in the first place if he didn't love
you. i know what a terrible suituation you are in, but
there is a solution. repent again and then find a
church that baptizes in the name of jesus christ and
not his titles of father, son and holy ghost. by
acting upon this truth (acts 2:38) god will do what he
says and will fill you with his spirit. then you will
have power over the world your flesh and the devil.
then you will be sealed until the day of your
redemption. the reason you are in the shape you are in
is because you haven't ever been sealed in by the holy
ghost because you haven't been baptized in the name of
jesus christ yet. like david you haven't lost your
salvation, but you have lost the joy of your salvation.

Man is similarly three in one, mind, body and soul. all
three is man, yet each is distinct in agency from the
other. to suggest that the father or the spirit hung on
the cross is borderline blasphemy. the scripture says
the word was with god, the word was god and became
jesus. you cannot apply human limitations to god..

dogmatic adherence to ordinances will merit in
judgment. this is a love relationship, not about dos

What was simply a restoration of a love affair between
god and man, became convoluted into bloated ordinances,
legalism, religiosity, politics, hierarchies, ad
nauseum; there was no love! when one is converted, he
enters into a love affair with god and with his fellow
man, created in god's image. jesus says yeah, you
followed this rule and that, but you never got to know
me!

When one knows and loves jesus, he will follow the
commandments by nature; it will no longer be a dry,
loveless adherence to doctrine but a natural, internal
outpouring of genuine love. the woman was rebuked for
pouring her costly oil on jesus,"sell it for the
poor"..this is loveless ordinance, rigidity
masquerading as concern. loving god is our primary
function; everything comes second.

The missing element is love. its what was lost in the
garden. sami, try this: forgive everyone that you have
ought against and watch how quickly god moves in your
life. remember the scripture: when you love your
fellowman, you love god, because man was made in god's
image and is the object of his heart. you, sami are the
object of his heart! if you alone sinned, he would have
still hung on the cross for you alone!

By pouring the oil, the woman was doing exactly what
god wants from us: expressing love. she was humbled,
worshiping, full of love and sorrow for her sins, in
other words, she was perfect! jesus chastised the
others, who were judgmental, uncaring, pious and not
hospitable. who do you think jesus welcomed into his
kingdom?

“but when the comforter is come whom i will send unto
you from the father, he shall testify of me.” there is
only one god, but he consists of three distinct
persons, father, son and holy spirit. the creator
appeared to adam and eve in visible form in the garden
of eden (genesis 3:8). "this is not a crude
anthropomorphism, but an actual theophany. the ‘word of
god,’ christ in his preincarnate state, regularly
appeared in the garden for fellowship and communication
with his people.

Hi sami,
you have a group of spirit filled christian sinners
who care about you. do you know why? because that is
god speaking to you. take a deep breath…and slow down.
forget about all those troubling verses for now. stop
lying in bed at night rehearsing scripture that you
think leaves you with only a burning hell that awaits
you. don’t do that. that will only in the end push you
further from god. where you are right now, you’re not
ready for scripture or theology or anything else. you
will only see condemnation in every other verse. slow
down and think clearly (continued).

you. now come and walk with me. i have much to show

I think you have a lot of things going on in your life
right now that involves more than just your
relationship with god. spend some time thinking…not
about bible verses…but about how you got to be where
you are today. when you get your phd in theology then
you can dive into all those troubling verses. but until
then…just be real with god. tell him everything…and
he’s not deaf…you don’t have to keep asking for
forgiveness. he heard you already. he’s not cold or
hash sami. he just wants you to be honest and real with
him. he created you sami. you’re in his image sami.
he’s stuck with you and you’re stuck with him. you can
quit and run…but he’s never going to give up on you
sami. so come home now sami…be still…and simply ask him
to help you where you’re at today…you can’t fix it…but
he can. he delights in doing miracles. challenge him.
please stay in touch with us.

Sami, you are letting the enemy twist those verses and
trying to apply them to you. you will continue to do
this without deliverance from this serious condition
you are in. the enemy wants you to be in fear. just
ignore the thoughts he puts in your mind where the
battle is. just simply repent again and go get
rebaptized in the name of jesus christ and god's
anointing will break your fetters the enemy has put on
you. to find a church that baptizes in the name of
jesus christ go to www.branham.org and there is a place
to write joseph branham. tell him what area you live
in and he can give you the name of a message church in
your area. the enemy will try to get you to put this
off so you won't do it at all. don't listen to him.
just simply go do it which is what peter said to do to
receive the gift of the holy ghost. god bless!

Hi sami,
hey, just hang in there. you’re going to be ok. i’m
afraid of all those scriptures too. but you know what?
the bible tells us that he (jesus) died for the least
of us…are you the least? i feel a lot of times i am.
sami, don’t venture into scripture on your own. if
you’re going to read scripture, do it with someone
along side or with an audio bible study. i don’t want
to push a bible teacher but i found dr. chuck missler
to be a great bible teacher. but you may have to find
what works for you.

Sami, i have those same feelings sometimes, but i
remind myself it's not based on feelings, it's based on
the bible. doing a devotional one morning, the
question asked me who am i in christ. i answered very
quickly without thought: i'm forgiven of my past, i'm
washed clean, i'm a child of god, i'm a person with her
name written on the palm of god's hand, i'm a believer,
i'm someone who has her tears saved by god, i'm someone
who has the hairs on her head numbered by god. you are
the same sami, keep your bible close by, call out to
god, he loves you and all the people that have answered
you are proof, you just have to trust and keep your
faith in him which i know you are or you wouldn't feel
convicted. i pray god will give you peace. gaeann

I still think about hell and its always on the back of

Sami, i have to take antidepressants also plus a lot of
other medications. i believe the lord uses doctors.
if you have a hard time sleeping try lunesta. i cut a
3mg in half and sleep good. my antidepressant is
called mirtazapine. i also take lorazepam for anxiety.
the best prescription though is acts 2:38. hang in
there and acknowledge him in all your ways and he shall
direct your path. lean not to your own understanding.
also pray over your medications before you take them.
god bless!

Sami, i'm so glad you're feeling better; you express
exactly how i feel a lot of the time so it helps me
with my own faith to write to you. satan uses any place
in us where he can grab hold and for us it's in our
confidence that we belong to god. god wants none of us
to perish, and we both believe and want to be with god.
if someone you loved wanted to be with you, would you
say no, you're not good enough? of course not, and god
loves you and me so much more than we can fathom. keep
believing, he's talking to you. with love and prayers,
gaeann

I have been reading the comments about sami and her
feeling that god does not love her, but sami if you are
reading the bible it is all about god's love. jesus
died on the cross for you! so that you will not parish.
john 3:16 says it all. sami read the word of god and
pray for guidance and understanding, and god will give
it to you.

The devil was messing with me so much that i ended up
in the hospital and just got out today, he does this
when ever i start praying or thinking about the bible.
i keep believing that i have crossed a line, beyond
gods forgiveness, after someone said i did.

After reading all the posts of all those that have
turned away from the living god really breaks my heart
to the point of tears. but i too years ago did the
same thing but by the grace of almighty god he brought
me back. as with adam and eve and every bible
character and all of us today god gives us all the
freedom of choice. we can lose our salvation but the
good news is we can also repent of our evil ways and
return to our god, but we need to remember not to wait
bc once we die and we havnt repented its too late we
wont make it to heaven. so, i pray for all of you
struggling out there that our gracious father will have
mercy on you all!
