This is a form of Ocd called Scrupulosity. The thoughts are debilitating I've suffered heavily from this sometimes I still do. It's as though I wrote this email myself. Adam, if you ever see this you're not alone. God is higher than the thoughts in your head and He is always with His children. He has Promised to Never leave nor Forsake you. And He is Faithful that Promised, even when we are Faithless. Jesus Christ has stated you are not Condemned Now and Shall Not Come into Condemnation. Why? Because you Believe on Him. Remember these Fundamentals this is our Foundation in Jesus Christ, and as Jesse says we Build on that Foundation. We Build on our Faith. Give yourself permission to learn and grow. He has poured so much Abundance if Grace on us we can extend a little to ourselves. He is With you. As He always is with His children. ❤

God is not a God of confusion, so if we pray to Him when we have these thoughts, He will give us hope. Edited to add that I think these intrusive thoughts are a part of anxiety too. If you are already feeling anxious, the evil one knows you are an easy target.

A lot of us (if not ALL of us) have been in this boat at some point. Obviously Pastor Jesse. Pastor Yankee Arnold, the Apostle Peter of course let us not forget the author of 2Peter, the very man who denied his Lord three times, yet the Lord Jesus saved him. I have been in that boat too. We are eternal in him and yet also sinful flesh, corruption, vapor and weak without him, our physical mind is made from that same flesh. We must remember our compass, The Word of God, and our anchor to eternal life Jesus Christ. When the storms come, our anchor holds us true in his life. Remember we are NOT condemned who hath believed on Christ. He will nowise cast us out! Remember your anchor, hold your reckoning. The righteous shall live by faith! Trust in whom you have believed.

[@stanleywest2619]

I understand l've been there too. I can't remember what l said or when l trusted Jesus as my Saviour but l believe that what Jesus did at the cross he did in my place to save me. Every time l struggle with the issue of my salvation l just rely on his promise in his word. 😊 For by grace (God's umerited favor) are ye saved through faith (in Jesus Christ) and that not of yourselves; for it (God's saving grace) is the gift of God, not by works lest any man should boast. Ephesians 2 : 8 & 9 No one deserves, could ever earn God's salvation, he provided it at his own cost, the sacrifice of his Son in our place and freely gives it to us by trusting in Jesus Christ as our Saviour. God did what man could never obtain in himself and did it through Jesus Christ. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life. For he came into this world not to condemn this world but that through him they might be saved John 3 : 16 &17. Jesus would have giving his life to save that it been for only one, that's how much God loved us. We simply take God at his word and not listen to those thoughts Satan uses to make us doubt. God said it that settles it, he promised he will do as he promised. God cannot lie. Satan may whisper "Halt God said." God said "whosoever believeth on the Son hath everlasting life." That means you, me or anyone else who has trusted Jesus Christ to save us. Sometimes we let feelings get in the way, feelings change God doesn't. We may be failing in some sin, we cannot overcome sin in ourselves we need to trust in the victory he won for us trusting his Spirit to enable us to live the Christian life. Some teachings may cause us to doubt Calvinism, Armeniainism and others, stay away from them believe God's word. We compare ourselves to others, their focus/our focus is be Jesus Christ alone not myself or others. Thank you for sharing and l pray this message will help many look to their Saviour and rely on his word. Amen

I got ocd and anxiety. They affect me daily. Anxiety is a modern term for fear. Ocd is a modern term for unwanted thoughts that stem mainly from fear. Sometimes it feels like I am becoming crazy, sometimes I am all calm and good. But if a person has issues with mind and thoughts he does not want, I would also suggest checking out if he has ocd or anxiety, balanced in every other area of life for brain health, and also simply don't try to fight those ocd thoughts. Anxiety becomes greater when you become more anxious of the anxiousness. Just trust in God and every other area get help like medicine if needed, nutrition on point etc

[@Hisfaithful_Berean]

Bless his heart. It is evident to me he has believed. I've been in his shoes. The enemy still tries this tactic on me. As I have continued to get in the Word, my faith has gotten stronger. I came out from under the lordship heresy years ago. Fear stunted my growth for many years. Due to the attacks from the false doctrine, it stunted my growth. A couple of months ago, I felt a nudge to get close to the Lord and seek His face. I noticed I felt no fear about reading the scriptures, so I dove into the scriptures. I understood what it said as clear as a bell, and I was comforted. This is the first time I have suited up in God's armor and stayed suited up to do battle rather than lying down, feeling defeated. I'm having to constantly fill my mind with the truth to combat any lies and doubts that come. The longer I walk closely with the Lord, the more the lies are choked. There will be a day where it will not be a stronghold anymore. "Repent of sins" phrase no longer scares me. I have ZERO doubt it is a lie. Soon, it will be like this for every lie that attacks me. I'll be able to stand firm and say, "That's a lie and I cast it out in Jesus' name!" Satan wants to rob the believer of peace and joy. Adam is under spiritual attack. It seems that even though we may have doubts, we still have had faith. If we struggle with doubt, it doesn't mean we never believed. To doubt implies we have believed at some point, if I'm understanding correctly. Matthew 14:31 - 31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?

[@davidbusciglio5529]

Saw Bibleline's response back to you (Trent's " the man "). Ditto to exactly what he said and to what Pastor Jesse said. Jesus paid the WHOLE ransom price: John 19:30 -- It. Is. FINISHED. PAID in FULL. ONE all sufficient sacrifice for sins. His blood sacrifice delivers FOREVER the one who has believed. The very moment we believe we are born of God, and receive the free gift of eternal life. DONE DEAL. We have NO merit of our own to offer God. Zero. Zilch. Nada. Our best efforts do not " move the needle " one micro-millimeter closer to heaven, neither before nor AFTER we have believed. Jesus paid for ALL the sins of your entire life (ie, past, present AND future). The ONLY acceptable sacrifice was Jesus' shed blood, and made valid the very moment one believes/trusts His promise, that HE alone satisfied the ransom price. And THAT, is the glorious GOOD news ! Doubts come and go, and are common to all of us. Comes from our fleshly frailty. But Pastor is right. Perhaps listen up again to what he said, and don't look to yourself/your works. Think about it. Jesus made an INFINITE payment on the cross in our stead, because we are otherwise HOPELESSLY lost. Our sin (all of humanity) is an INFINITE offense to an all holy God. He loved us so much that he bore our sins onto Himself and offered up His life as our ONLY possible substitute, made effective to ALL who will believe. NOTHING, no other sacrifice from ANY other source - not from ourselves nor anyone/anything else - could possibly meet God's just demand. We can NOT add one iota, before or after we believe, to what He's already done for us. God the Father is completely satisfied that the just payment for sin has been accomplished thru the sacrifice of His Son. Again, hearkening back to John 19:30 -- " It is finished ", ie, " tetelestai " in the Greek text, indicates that the ransom demand Has been now and FOREVER met. Payment can NEVER be demanded again; Jesus did it. HE " FINISHED the job ", right then and there. So, stand on God's Word alone, friend. Jesus' own promise in John 6:47 -- " He that believeth on ME HATH (has right NOW) everlasting life. " ... Also, from God's Word: ..... Isaiah 64:6; John 1:12, 5:24, 6:37, 10:28; Acts 4:12, 13:38,39; Romans 11:6; Ephesians 2:8,9; Hebrews 9:22, 10:10-14.

Not being firmly convinced can cause doubt. I always questioned if I were saved and saw the issue as a lack of Trust. Adam needs to see that Christ came to fulfill his Fathers plan to cover the sinful nature of mankind through his Son. Jesus fulfilled his Fathers plan and said it is finished. Adam needs to understand no work is required of him but to trust that Christa sacrifice covers all of his sin, past present and future. His doubt is he knows the truth and what he should believe but the doubt comes in when he still feels like he needs to do something….

Keep up the great job u are doing brother. 🎸🙏🙏🙏- Dave!

[@BibleLine]

Believing in vain is only true in two cases: if salvation is by works - Gal. 2:21 and if Jesus did not rise from the dead - 1 Cor. 15:2. Are those things true? No. Therefore the person who believes is not “believing in vain.” The context of 1 Cor. 15 isn’t a salvation test. It’s a reminder of the resurrection to the already saved Corinthian church. They were all saved who believed. Belief is not qualified by works or lacks thereof. Otherwise, our faith is in vain. Gal. 2:21. You see? If it isn’t ONLY simply faith in Jesus Christ, then he died for no reason. If He did NOT rise, then we believe for no reason… Paul used these in the negative sense in that they aren’t actually true… He did rise, and no works are required. Thanks for the nice comment though. - Trent

Our hope isn't to be found in other things, even those things we try to hide behind. It is found in Jesus Christ alone not in ourself. If your his child no matter how far you may roam you have a loving Heavenly Father who will never stop loving you. Your his child and that can never change, God will not change it nor can you. Jesus gave his life to save you and if he's done that can we expect he'll not take care of the rest. Trust him each problem you're having, let carrying your burdens and cares and trust him to do through you what seems impossible. Do Jesus care when l've tried and failed to resist some temptation strong. When for my deep grief l find no relief. Though my tears flow all the night long? Oh, yes, He cares; l know He cares; His heart is touched with my grief; when the days are weary, the long night dreary, l know my Saviour cares. Yes Jesus cares for you.

The Spirit convicts "the world of sin, of righteousness and of judgment." - John 16. Unbelievers are given a choice to believe or not believe - John 3:15-18. Anyone who does not EVER believe is therefore not converted. Could he believe that he is converted, but he never believed the gospel? Yes. He is false in his own thinking. Nonetheless, the believer who is saved because he believed is not a false convert because he is literally converted. Therefore your next point stems true.

Hi Adam. I prayed for you brother.

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. It's a gift from God for your faith ( Belief ) We MUST always remember to check context when using scripture to gauge or guide our personal situation. The verse you quoted about God not hearing a sinners prayer was being used out of context. That verse doesn't apply to you because of the way the word sinner was used and who you are now that you're one with Christ. You are a new creation in Christ Jesus. Scripture teaches us that when we believe on Jesus as Christ, our saviour, the Holy Spirit seals us with God's seal. Then we're given a new heart and a new mind. Then He ( The Holy Spirit ) indwells the believer. This is an eternal vessel for the Holy Spirit. He will never leave you. ( The Holy Spirit hears and takes all your prayers to The Father ) That happens in an instant, when you trust on Jesus Christ as The Son of God. From that moment on is your walk with The Lord. Your personal discipleship. He will teach you all things. The enemy will put all kinds of thoughts and feelings in your mind to try to deceive you or distract you , anything to STEAL Your Peace and Joy. There's two things people BELIEVE. 1. That their personal salvation depends on what they do. 2. That personal salvation depends on faith in Christ Jesus and what He did on the cross. I am saved by grace through faith not works lest any man should boast. It's a gift from God.

Pastors and the rest of the 5 fold ministry are chosen by Christ and should have power and authority and walk in the gifts of the Holy Spirit.
