Rhys 🕊:
Don't be too hard on yourself as God is still in charge and will set you free at the right time.

What may look like the wrong path to you is the right path in God's eyes. Our loving Father knows what is best even though to us it does not seem right what we do it does not and can not change God's will for us.

Rest in Him and He will make you turn at the right time. It's all of Him and He often takes us down a long tunnel with many branches, when we find we can't go on any further and it's too dark He reaches out to us. He is the light and will shine down upon us and show us the way to walk to get out.

Out of great desperation we are drawn to a place of great peace but even I wonder at times how long Lord through areas in my life but God always comes through at the right time. We learn righteousness in these times and God is the one that knows how we best learn.

Praying for you too

Rhys

Pierdut:
I appreciate all the prayers; I can use all the help I can get. Have any of you been in this situation that I am now in? It's hard for me to even make it through the day because I feel so hopeless and forsaken,  and even like I am cursed or something. I know the Scriptures say that no man can come to Him unless he is drawn of God; and I believe that, yet it seems like my prayers are in vain... like no one is listening.  That's not to say God doesn't exist, though it seems like He does not care.

I know I'm a horrible sinner, and that's why I feel like perhaps it's too late for me; like maybe I crossed the line and it's too late for me in this life. There is a Scripture that talks about the unpardonable sin. And I know Ray talked about that, and said if you're concerned about it you didn't commit it... but I am not so sure; I think I did because that's what it seems like. And to make matters worse, not only am I then destined for a horrible reality after resurrection,  but my life now is horrible too.

I hope I didn't commit the unpardonable sin, but I would need something to happen to assure me that I didn't. I pray, and pray, and nothing. I repent, and then go back to doing the things I just repented of. I just feel so hopeless,  and alone; and like things are constantly working against me. And I feel awkward even praying to God, because I don't think He likes me very much. I don't know if you can understand the hopelessness I feel, but I tried getting you to understand it in this post.

Maybe I shouldn't bother you guys anymore with my problems, but I wanted you to know why I asked for prayer in the first place. And this might even be the last post like this because I've made too many of these already. So I might as well not even post, unless it's something different for a change. If there shall be some changes in my life I will let you know, and then you'll know that you did something good (by praying for me).

Pierdut,

Where did you get the idea that you are "destined for a horrible reality after resurrection"?
It may help to dig deeper into the judgment that the unsaved will face when they are resurrected. It may be that your fears are exaggerated or unfounded.

For example, as things stand now I expect my sons to be in the second resurrection and I don't view that as something to fear with great concern. I don't imagine that they will like what they have to endure, but it will be done with the expectation of success in their lives.
When it is over it will have made better men of each of them and they will be able to look back on the experience with true joy as they come to know God and His Christ.


Praying for your understanding, Indiana Bob

Psalms 23:4 - Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Deuteronomy 31:8 - It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.”

Hebrews 7:25 Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.

Keep posting Pierdut.  We're here to walk this way with you.  Remember that this is a season in your life.  God is allowing you to go through whatever you are experiencing for a reason.  We've all had seasons of hopelessness of our own making, but looking back, we are able to see God's hand in it.  Today we are stronger for it.

p.s. Be thankful for the little rays of sunshine in your life, which I'm sure there are, if you look carefully.  Life, is never so hopeless. :)

Hi Bob,

You asked where I got that idea; from the Bible:

Heb 10:26 - 29 and Matt 12:31

Now I know that does not necessarily mean that it shall never ever be forgiven, but it says that it shall not, neither in this age, nor the one to come. Maybe the one after that; but still that's an awfully long time.

My fear is that I can't be forgiven anymore in this age; because I have once come unto a knowledge of the truth, and then I eventually began willfully sinning again, and did those things it talks about in those verses.
I am not sure if I can still be forgiven in this age or not, and that was really the point of my previous post. I know that only God can help me, and no prayer can change His mind about some thing... but He does inspire people to first pray for a prayer He wants to answer.



Edit: There's also John 3:36, where it mentions the wrath of God remaining on people... maybe that's what my problem is.
