Hi pray-ers,
Of late I have been reminded of my past alot.I am sure this is the work of the enemy.Even bible verses have been thrown at me ....I know God can forgive the most terrible sins.....but I cant forgive myself its seems ...because I committed these sins as a christian and I knew better.I really long to live a holy life ,but I feel so tainted that I am near to despairing ...even of life its self.
Please pray that I will come to some closure regarding my past and be able to focus on my future in Christ ...and that if I am reminded of my sins - that it will serve only to make me press on more deeply into Gods word.
The enemy would like nothing more than for me to give up on life and for me to believe that I am a failure and that there is no reason for me to believe that God can ever heal me , use me or bless me.These are the thoughts swirling around in my head ...I am so discouraged ....

Mooky, we are human. We all sin as christians. God does not expect us to be perfect, because he created us IMperfectly. Just rebuke the enemy and he will leave you alone. Turn this over to God and let him help you forgive yourself. :)

My dear sister, we don't get to Heaven by ourselves, it is all by the grace of God, and I know you're blessed. Our Savior has forgiven you everything, theres nothin tainting you. and I pray that you, also, will forgive you. But please, don't keep all those thoughts to yourself, go see somebody, somebody you trust and work your way out of this mess.

Love you,
Jenna

Hi Mooky,

When the enemy tries to bring our sin to light, we always have the ultimate reply, by reminding him that we have Jesus interceding for us day and night. The One Who paid our ransom in full, so that we would no longer have to feel the weight of sin, being washed daily in The Blood of The Lamb - Rom 8:34 "Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died—more than that, who was raised—who is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us."

Lord God,

it is never easy to forgive oneself. Please be with Mooky and show him your great
love and unending forgiveness, so that she learns to bask in your love untill there
is nothing left of her selfdoubt and unforgivness.

amen.

Hi Mooky,
what i do, if I can not process fast enough and can not give up my
wish to have been perfekt, or am still hurting about someones betrayal.
I say a prayer like this: "Please lord, you know my heart, you know that i still need time to
come to the place, where it does not hurt and all is forgiven.
Please I want to forgive (me/him/them), so I hereby declare it to be forgiven and
all please disregard all the things I will think and say to the
contrary, because that is only me beeing stuborn, beeing me.
Please my sincere wish is that this is forgiven. So do not hold
my stuborness against me, and help me to really understand
that forgiveness can mean closure. amen.

But for this you really have to want in your heart, to
forgive, even when you are not yet ready to let the issue go.

Greetings, sandtigeress.

Can you visualize your sins upon the person of Jesus as he hung on the cross? He took upon himself every sin past, present and future that you will ever do.

This love He has for you is incredible. When he took your sins, he also gave you something. His blood to wash you clean, and His righteousness to cover you.

That is what His love is about! That is why we sing Amazing Grace! That is why we worship!

My dear Mookie, I pray that this wonderful truth will take root in your spirit, and you will take his forgiveness unto yourself.

Our past sins only show us our vulnerabilities to help us in the future.

This sounds to me like the work of the devil......trying to sell you some terrible lies......don't buy any of it.....Jesus paid the ultimate cost....use your story of over coming these things.....tell others that even though they are making bad choices they can be forgiven too....understanding by experience....is one of the best way to reach others....don't wallow in your past.....use it ...to rise above it....peace my sister....jo

Philippians 3:12 I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to possess that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. 13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, 14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.

Hugs mooky, you are forgiven, and cherished by Jesus. :)
Faith is not just about believing in Jesus, but the forgivness that is God's loving gift in Jesus.
In faith, know you are forgiven, and in faith forgive yourself in Jesus. :)
Did you know another name for satan is accuser, so resist him, and he will flee.
Then let the peace and love of Jesus's forgivness cover you and fill you.
For the joy of salvation shall be your streangth!!! :)

You are in my prayers in Jesus.

God bless
