I doubted my salvation. I think it was good for me because I was reading the Word and it made me examine myself. Then Father corrected me. He pointed out sin to get rid of. He pointed out people to cut out. He pointed out people to be closer to. Then, THEN I just knew. I could feel the Spirit just welling up. The love, the joy, the fruit. I had it and that confirmed that I was saved. My doubts went away and I had the joy of salvation. I don't think I was lost before, but the thing is, you can only know if your life starts to look like Jesus. If the promises start to work out in your life. If you crucify the flesh, surrender, repent, and then all the blessings start to show up everywhere. But it was good for me to fear and tremble. That is just it my dear sister . The SPIRIT was having you to examine where you heart truly was and Teaching you the image of the TRUE JESUS . See, many are learning the wrong image of JESUS and the way to be sure it is HE we truly follow , IS by the word . THE SPIRIT gives us what we need to understand the word . The SPIRIT uses the true words of JESUS and yes even those apostels and pslams and other places , TO help us examine ourselves to see if we do walk in the faith . For this is the working of the grace of GOD . Remember in titus where it says the GRACE of GOD that BRINGS SALVATION has appeared . TEACHING US …………………………..teaching us what . Teaching us to deny all ungdoliness and wordly lusts and to be living soberly , godly , righteously in this present world . So any grace that teaches us contrary to that , YEAH ITS NOT FROM GOD which means IT IS NOT Grace . Telling folks they can remain in sin and that we have no way out of it , that we can even return to willfull sin and be overcome in it , ITS A LIE . And many men preach that kind of grace . they preach it and instead of sounding like paul who said let it not be named once they just say things like we cant OUTSIN gods love and so forth . NOT what the grace of GOD came to do . For how can one walk in willfull sin and darkness and yet TRULY KNOW JESUS AS WELL . We cant walk TWO PATHS and we cant serve TWO TABLES . WE must CHOOSE YE THIS DAY WHOM YE SHALL SERVE and KNOW that GOD is with us and is able to keep us from falling KNOWING FULL WELL , we better OBEY HIS unctions and not the flesh . You are loved naominash . You are . We sure do , all of us , need to feasting with great hope and love on our bibles daily and exhorting one another as well . hands up , hands up and praise the LORD .

It is sad, how in the modern church, God will warn someone to turn from sin, only to have false teachers tell them sin doesn't effect our standing with God and claim it is false condemnation and a legalistic mindset. Those false teachers will have a lot of explaining to do at the judgment. I am glad you didn't fall for it.

I am glad you didn't fall for it.And the truth is , when they stand before JESUS on the great and last day , THEY WONT BE SAYING MUCH AT ALL , to hear the words DEPART FROM ME I NEVER KNEW YOU , will be truly TERRIFYING beyond what mere words can even describe .

I want us to try and imagine that day . Go ahead , I truly have no desire to even know how many will feel when they hear those words . THAT will truly be a terrifying day . cause you know that comes next . ANd the very lake of fire they tried to omit , it will be real . FOLKS either we love JESUS or we don't . but their is no part time , half time love . These teachers need to cease asap their speeches they make against the true warners and start repenting and FOLLOWING THE LAMB . cause the words DEPART FROM ME , will be truly terrifying .

We do not want to be found standing in opposition to God's true servants, who are faithfully trying to turn people away from sin. Those false teachers are really standing in opposition to God himself, who sent them to sound the warning.

Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. And beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity. For if these things be in you, and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall: For so an entrance shall be ministered unto you abundantly into the everlasting kingdom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Apostle Peter, 2 Peter 1:4-11
