Where do I start ,, was a medium for years and thought I was doing gods work but woke up and realised it was evil so stopped doing it.

not a religious person but I do believe in god but not morally a sound person.

am in a relationship and I screw around.

I thought I was talking to spirit and was told I would win the lottery and then could help the homeless.

5 years later I realised that god does not gamble so a wasted 5 years of hoping to win then heart broken when it does not happen.

was told to take a better job by spirit and a year later they got rid of me so again that was evil at work.

I break hearts because I look for love but never been in love even though I am in a relationship.

I dont steal I dont take drugs I dont drink and dont hit my kids.

I believe in the man and know in my heart he tries to help but whats the use or the point.

spent years doing spirit work and it was all a sham so I must be penalised for being a bloody idiot.

where is the ray of sunshine when the future looks bleak and you cant help being your self.

God brings often brings us to the end of ourselves so we call out to Him. You must make Jesus captain of your life, believe on him and that he rose from the dead. Bring yourself humbly before the cross and lay your sin and burdens there...renounce the witchcraft and sin you engaged in and any generational sin passed on to you. Open your bible and start in Romans. God loves you and calls you into his perfect love. Seek him and his ways thru his word.

all good deeds, don't go unpunished. lol
if you have excepted jesus as your saviour, or still thinking about starting a relationship with god.
trying to please god(when in a relationship with him) with our ideas, or our deeds, is a learning place, we start again like children, take some milk(read the gospels like a story book.) growing to breaking down bible story/ books , with jack hammers, hammers and chisels. and every ounce of our strength. just to find out, he was sitting next to us, through the thick and thin or the ups and downs of our life. the wonderful thing is, when we think, we understand, it all, a new chapter opens to us. we can only answer for our selves. we cant answer for any other, (like a wife, friend , or even for our children).

again sitting on the dock of the bay, wondering why time is flowing by. trying to judge passed mistake, is a simple equation, you cant change the past, but you can learn from it. the future will always be bleak, if you cant forgive your self or other.
you will fine , you can try, you very best, and gave it, your all, and still failed.

like a snakes and ladders game, you roll the dice, go up ladders, and go down snake, yet there is always a big snake around the finish line. that take you back, to the bottom line.

god teaches you in a way, you understand, all you got to do is roll the dice.

Rejoice my friend! Most people live a lot longer than you and have still not identified the failure in their life is their own doing. You have correctly concluded that your path leads to emptiness and death. You have achieved wisdom. Please don't let anything discourage you from making the most important realization of your life, Jesus is the way. Everything in this life will disappoint and die. Make the decision that will bring fulfillment to this life and hope for the next. If not just for your benefit, be a leader for your children so they will not perish. Accept that God sent His Son Jesus to teach us, and ultimately be our blood offering to atone for our sins. Then be baptized and dedicate your life to righteousness and follow Christ. That feeling you have that convicted you and led you here for answers is none other than the Holy Spirit. God is calling, will you answer? He gives us the choice, choose life friend.

Im concerned.....when we open ourselves to evil spirits.....
And allow them to move us ....its alot harder to (you said) stopped doing it....well maybe you stopped on your side
but they didnt stop on their side.......you need to cast out these spirits ...rebuke them....pray out loud for desernment...
You sound so angry ....if you are confussed..annoyed ...or frustrated...it is not from God....when you know its from
God its a sweet and loving and peaceful understanding.....puts you at rest...God will never forsake us....when we
turn way from Him ......it breaks His heart...with infidelity and your actions maybe dont bother you...but you are
a father and you have children learning from you......watching you for direction...our children dont just learn good
things from us....if you were truly looking to God you wouldnt want to do any of those things anyway.....
Im praying for you my brother....keep your eyes on God through His word and meditation and let Him lead
for a while .....see how much better your life becomes.....

We are all sinners, everyone of us. God loves you though because you are His child. We would never stop loving our children if they did wrong and God is the same. It sounds like the enemy (Satan) has been up to his old tricks. He puts doubt in my mind to make me think that my imperfections will make me a forsaken child of the Lord.
I read my Bible, have quiet time with Jesus, and I can feel the holy spirit which protects me from evil. Jesus is your Lord and Savior and you can go to Him and just start talking. He is right there beside us.

Talk to God about how you feel and the problems you face. God is waiting for you with open arms and you have the choice to give your life to Him. Just say God I have made many mistakes in my life and I am truly sorry for having made those mistakes. I can't change the things I have done in the past but I can give my heart and life to You God. Please help me and protect me from the evil spirits I have worked with in the past. I surrender all I am to You God please forgive me and protect me. In Jesus Name Amen.

God is stronger that satan and when you reach out to God with all your heart He will rush to your side and help you. It is your free will to choose God and satan can do nothing to stop you from doing that. There is NOTHING you have done that God won't forgive. So I encourage you to go to Him. Jesus died to set you free all you have to do is believe and receive and then rest in Him.

Don't fret, you are loved. Why ask for more? Start searching for yourself and what YOU can do to help the people you wish to help. God is real and will guide you on your journey.

I was SO wrong for so many years. But guess what? God took me in the minute I asked Him to. Didn't matter what I'd done in the past, what I used to think, He loves me and He loves you too! Praise God!! Know this, He is always there with you, waiting with open arms for you.

Go to Him, cast your cares to Him. Study His Word and talk to Him. He'll listen, He'll hear, and nothing you ever did before will stand in the way of His loving you, guiding you and taking you on the rest of your journey.

You do have to repent, honestly, in your heart not just with your tongue, but it sounds like that's what you want to do so my prayers go with you.

Praise God! You have found the path that leads home.

No one is beyond redemption, you can give your life to Jesus and make Him your Lord and Savior.
If you do that, God will gladly accept you and give you eternal life, and an abundant life.
Don't rob yourself of the blessings that are in Christ.
And don't let the devil rob you of eternal life.

There's nothing quite like sticking to a simple John 3.16 Gospel! :)

Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
Acts 2:2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Acts 2:3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
Acts 2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Acts 2:12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, saying one to another, What meaneth this?
Acts 2:13 Others mocking said, These men are full of new wine.

(notice how there were those that were mocking. I guess some things never change!)

Acts 2:14 But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
Acts 2:15 For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
Acts 2:16 But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;

(what was it that the prophet Joel prophesied?)

Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Acts 2:18 And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
Acts 2:19 And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
Acts 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and notable day of the Lord come:

(Note that we are more in the last days today than were then, even the Lord's return is soon.)

Acts 2:37 Now when they heard this, they were pricked in their heart, and said unto Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?

(There is the million dollar question, "what shall we do?" ... Lets find out.)

Acts 2:38 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
Acts 2:39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.


Question: Why didn't Peter lead them through a sinner's prayer? Why didn't Peter say to accept Jesus as their personal saviour? Why didn't he say to simply "believe"? If there was ever a time to do all that, this certainly would have been it. Let's turn to the book of Matthew...

Matthew 16:24 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
[25] For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.

If we are to take up our cross and follow Jesus we would have to do what he did. We would have to symbolize his death, burial, and resurrection. And, that is exactly what Peter said to do.

1. Repent = symbolic death
2. Be water baptized = symbolic burial
3. Receive Holy Spirit = symbolic resurrection

Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Romans 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

But wait, isn't doing all that actually a "work"? No. I'm not trying to "earn" my way into heaven, it is simply obeying God's word.
