A few days ago I watched a video about a man who talked to God and he said only a few people will enter heaven so I prayed to God and asked if I could be changed to were I want to help people and spread the word. He did. I want to help people now. But I dont think I love God now.Im 90% SURE its the enemy telling me this because I want to serve God. any advice?
How is the enemy saying why you don't love God? If it is just saying so, then don't believe it because...
1 John 4:[SUP]18 [/SUP]There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.[SUP]19 [/SUP]We love him, because he first loved us...........
BUT if there is a reason attached to it, like below....
1 John 4:[SUP]20 [/SUP]If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
Then you need to go before that throne of grace for help if you hate your christian brother for whatever the reason.
I know I do when so many christian brothers and sisters are betraying me and looking for fault by the means which they betray me by. I am leaning on the Lord to separate myself from them since I have been defamed and alienated and targeted for passive bullying and defraudment in public, thus it is not possible to live peaceably among men. I need His help to continually forgive them whenever the devil tries to cause a flashback to tempt me to anger to get a grip on it to turn it into hatred and malice. I rather not be used as an instrument in public that tempts others into mischief. I rather not allow what they do to provoke me to happen so the devil does not get a grip on my anger.
Latest example... I am hard of hearing and so now that theaters have closed captionings devices, I had thought so far the people at the theaters will not mess with me any more, like turning off the listening devices where I get static from before. But now they figured out a way to mess with me even there, by blanking out the closed captioning where I get nothing while watching a movie, even if it is on. I switched it off and on to see that it was indeed on. Then I left the theater in disgust and looked at the closed captioning device in the hallway at a glance and saw that it said in closed captionings, "You are reading closed captionings, honey."
The Lord carried me through that event, got me home, and then allowed what I had read at a glance to hit me at night that it was not some line from some other movie, but a direct message to me from those who are making sport of me at my expense. I had gotten my money back, but now I can't go to the theaters any more since they figured out a way to mess with me now with the closed captioning devices.
Anyway, Jesus wants us to love our enemies and forgive others; and not seek vengeance nor recompense anyone for evil like reporting them to the owner to get them all fired so to avoid all that drama and the devil messing with me to hate them, I just can't go to the theaters any more. I can wait for it to come out on DVD to watch it in subtitles. Problem solved.
Anyway, when God convicts, it will be by His word to lead you to repentance in walking in fellowship with the Father & the Son; when the devil condemns, he sometimes gives no reasons to you, but it is generally given to promote fear in you than anything else that there is no going back to God now.
The Father corrects
The devil condemns
That is how you tell the difference.
Don't rely on feelings or supernatural sensations to convince you that He is with you because He is in us by faith alone.
2 Corinthians 13:[SUP]5 [/SUP]
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.
Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
John 14:[SUP]16 [/SUP]And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may
abide with you for ever;[SUP]17 [/SUP]Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him:
but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
God is with you as in you, no matter what, which is why we need even His help to trust Jesus Christ as our Good Shepherd to help us to follow Him in according to His words to us to abide by.
Ephesians 4:[SUP]30 [/SUP]And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed unto the day of redemption.
Matthew 28:[SUP]18 [/SUP]And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.....[SUP]20 [/SUP]Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
So go before that throne of grace for help and guidance in whatever crisis of faith you are going through so you can rest in Him.
Hebrews 4:[SUP]12 [/SUP]For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.[SUP]13 [/SUP]Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.[SUP] 14 [/SUP]Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.[SUP]15 [/SUP]For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.[SUP]16 [/SUP]Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Matthew 11:[SUP]28 [/SUP]Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.[SUP]29 [/SUP]Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.[SUP]30 [/SUP]For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
2 Timothy 4:[SUP]18 [/SUP]And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
