@SeaJay_Oceans5 ай бұрын
1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth,a for the first heaven and earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying: “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man, and He will dwell with them. They will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God.b 4‘He will wipe away every tear from their eyes,’c and there will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the former things have passed away.” 5And the One seated on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” Then He said, “Write this down, for these words are faithful and true.” 6And He told me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To the thirsty I will give freely from the spring of the water of life. 7The one who overcomes will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son. 8But to the cowardly and unbelieving and abominable and murderers and sexually immoral and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their place will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur. This is the second death.”

It’s been a few years since becoming orthodox. I started to notice that I was resisting praying. I couldn’t figure out why but I recently met a Baptist pastor and he started to convince me that orthodoxy was crushing how special I am and how I am a godly woman and he flattered me. I felt that familiar pride I used to live on. I missed being special and above others. I knew it was pride and then this video helped me so much to make sense of what has happened and why I have experienced all of this. Thank you so much. This was for me!

I am a Baptist. I don't know anything, so I just try to read the Bible and do the best I can. I don't see how Baptists or Orthodox are unbiblical. They are probably just different regional styles built on the culture around them. We believe in full immersion baptism, don't like dancing, etc. I just don't understand Catholicism. They do a lot of unbiblical things, but at least they follow Jesus. Maybe their religion is a product of regional development as well, as Greco-Roman influence couldn't help but to be a part of it. I think we should all accept Jesus, proclaim Him as God in the flesh who died for our sins and resurrected, repent and confess our sins, and turn from them. This is Biblical. Also, the Great Commission is to spread the gospel. As long as you believe these things, the choice of church is up to you. I always felt like we should take joy in being brothers and sisters in Christ, and while we should, there are some religions here in the US who are partaking in evil doctrines that are unbiblical. Sorry about your Baptist minister. You are probably good looking and he was being inappropriate. Sounds like it. Anyway, just want you to know that Baptists are to hold the word of God above all authority. I feel like we are the same in this, with regional styles that are only different but not heretical. God bless and keep you.

I left the church for many years. One day, I was walking my dog at a park and I said I want to be with God. Instantly, water was shooting out of my heart like a high pressure fire house. It kept pouring and pouring out of my heart but into another place. I felt hands holding my heart as if the physics of my body wasn’t there. These hands pressed my heart. And it felt like it was being hugged. Something about it felt like feathers too, but i always say hands. I never felt so much bliss in my life. All my hate, and resentment just gone. For about two weeks my heart felt like it was lit on fire, but tolerable. It felt like an intense cold shower on your chest. No one could explain to me what happened. I tried researching it, but nothing. Eight months later listening to the gospel of John with headphones on, I heard on an audio book, Jesus stood up on the last day of the feast and said, “if anyone thirsts let him come to me and drink for out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water.” My jaw dropped. This is what happened to me. For about a year all I cared about was heaven. I never since that day at the park have felt worthy though. I always feel like a filthy unforgiving sinner. No matter how many times I go to confession I have trouble finding peace. You see after about a year this blissful thing left me. I was in a parking lot and could feel it flying out of me. I instantly felt consumed by something dark. I cried to a priest asking why did it leave me. Why? I just feel like a huge sinner. I always fall. Go to confession and fall again. I want to be a Saint. I wish I could be, but I feel so unworthy. The weight of my past sins are so heavy. I don’t want to go to hell. I want to be with God. I just feel like I can never get it together. How can I betray such beautiful love God has. Why do I still betray my lord. Why can’t I serve God without falling into temptation. I feel so pathetic. I appreciate this talk I’m going to listen to it again and again. Thank you.

That is not normal for a born-again believer. Before I received the holy spirit I was living in sin all the time, I grew up in a Christian family but I didn't know the scriptures and lived how I felt. My life was filled with bad luck, sin and problems. But one day I started reading the Bible, I was convicted about my life, and I started replacing my sinful habits with how God says we should live. Since I already believed in God this led to me being born again. All weights and all problems started disappearing and I got wonderful peace. I felt complete, and light. When I was born again, nearly all of my sin disappeared from my life, and as time goes I stumble less and less. It is thanks to the "Holy Spirit" that is the guarantee of eternal life. (Eph 1:13-14) Now I can speak to Jesus directly without always praying and then waiting for an answer in some form. I can talk to God like a human with immediate answers. Today morning I asked God what page I should go to in the Bible and he brought me to Ezekiel 33 Ezekiel 33:13-15 ¹³ Though I say to the righteous that he shall surely live, yet if he trusts in his righteousness and does injustice, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered, but in his injustice that he has done he shall die. ¹⁴ Again, though I say to the wicked, ‘You shall surely die,’ yet if he turns from his sin and does what is just and right, ¹⁵ if the wicked restores the pledge, gives back what he has taken by robbery, and walks in the statutes of life, not doing injustice, he shall surely live; he shall not die. It says that trusting in deeds/ works of love for salvation and living in sin leads to death. The verse shows the importance of turning from sin and doing what is right. He shall surely live. 1 John 3:6 ⁶ No one who abides in him keeps on sinning; no one who keeps on sinning has either seen him or known him. Does it make sense, someone who has been baptized with the holy spirit of God, the guarantee of eternal life, he cannot longer make a habit of sinning. To receive the holy spirit we believe that Jesus Christ dying on the cross is the only reason we go to heaven and eternal life, and also turning away from sin and living according to God's teaching in the Bible. 2 Timothy 3:16-17 ¹⁶ All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, ¹⁷ that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work. Have a nice day!🌄

After listening to this, I have found strength to be weak in my path in bringing to death the worldly nature of myself. Now I understand Saint Paul when he said: "in my weakness I am strong." That because of our nature of sin, past, present or future, we are sinners continually seeking God's Love and Mercy through Jesus Christ. That the brighter and clearer it is, the more unbarable the weight of who we are we can't carry. That is why its important to continue to endure inspite of the darkness and falleness our lives are amongst the world.

When I woke up I was drenched in sweat and was heavily breathing but felt relieved I was still alive. From that moment for a month I was the happiest man on the planet and was feeling so full of Holy Spirit. I didnt have problems with pornography for that whole month. God's grace was all over me. After that i was falling in sin like a madman. I guess God wanted to show me what it feels like when im in His grace and then told me that my whole life will be fight from now on. I will never forget those moments of grace and they will remind me of how much God loves me :)

"And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. “If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you."

It’s hard to describe. It was Amazing. Then, slowly God began to remove the “kid gloves” and that’s when the trials began. God began to strengthen my faith through my weakness.

I couldnt sleep, i could barely function in the world. I am now doing much “better” in the ways of the world, but i struggle with pride and other sins as much as ever. I somehow miss the humility and sorrow from back then because it felt more true than the “success” i am having now. When i do fall into deeper sin with things such as masturbation, it feels much more horrible than ever before. Thank you for your humbling words. I must humble myself further, and abstain from the ways of the world to elucidate the stains on my soul. I feel quite corrupted though, and scarily, complacent in that corruption. I dont feel the sorrow weigh on me like it has. I know i am in for a humbling experience soon, and i will keep praying on the path.

That blew my mind. I experienced all this after baptism but I was baptised as it was my mother's choice and thank God it was. I don't even have any idea who I was before then. Yet when it happened I felt I lost my identity, so lost and just wanted to go back to Heaven. I knew I was doing something serious, but what ensued was the most painful repentance that I felt I could never make up for what I'd done, I was in a terrible state yet I felt like I was surrounded by Heaven. It was really uncomfortable to change so drastically but I am so grateful and was so grateful. I just cared so much. I was in so much pain at others suffering yet I thought there was something wrong with me and braced myself to not do what I was impelled to do. I remember hearing a homeless person crying, wailing, I hid in a doorway close by listening and crying and my heart ached and I think I was praying but with my heart. I wanted to go up to them but living in London it's so not done. I remember again asking, why do I at my most spiritual feel the suffering of people and animals all around me, like I can hear it almost. Thank God I've come across this video, I was always told I was a failure. I never had any worldy ambition. I am so glad to have this guidance. Because I just want to get back to the purity that I felt before instead of trying to standardise myself. Now when I have the impulse to go and embrace any stranger in pain and defend those who are crying and comfort those who are angry I can trust that it is the right thing to do. Thank you God and forgive me for my sins. I want to go in the right direction. Also remembering to use discernment.

@@lykakinchen7601 Paul was not referring to baptism in this passage but to JEWISH law due to Jewish converts and their practice of the Halakah. Jesus says in Mark 16:16 that both believing and baptism are required for salvation, it is one of his commandments. A person on his death bed who comes to faith in his final moments can receive a merciful exception to this but that is very, very rare.

I was pondering this conundrum today. And then I stumbled into this youtube post. I am more wretched today than the day I met Christ. From that day, 36 years ago it had all been a downhill grind. I realised today all my efforts to please God has been in vain. My heart yearns for God but turns to sin. How wretched I am. It would have been better to die so as not to sin. But that is the point - to be dead in Christ is to be alive in his resurrection. How to remain in his love is so simple and yet so difficult. Why has nobody taught me this when I started out? I long for a retreat away from the world. I want to be a recluse but I have a family. I am torn in my soul. My days are filled with sorrow and regret of past and present sins. Do not mention the word of saint. Life has broken me. I am ground to dust. Every day is a swim in the Ganges. It is unbearable. Sin is unbearable. I am surrounded by sin all day long.
