From the age of 13 upwards until this last year I have sinned. I didn't know The Lord properly and I didn't know half the commandments and also didn't really have much faith. This last year I have began to go to church, read the bible and also pray. My faith is stronger than ever before and I've finally found The Lord. I have made mistakes which I am cross about and always ask for forgiveness when I feel I could have done wrong. Is there a limit on how much The Lord will forgive us? Or does it depend on if we are truly sorry? I would love to be pure again in the sight of The Lord? Can we become pure again?
Salvation forgiveness is a once-for-lifetime event, and the power of sin has no effect on it. He will keep you for as long as you stay, and regard you as pure no matter how dirty you get.
But the power of sin in the here and now is that if you submit to an authority, you're submitted to an authority... until you rebuke it. When you submit to either a demon and/or the flesh yanking on your leash, you empower it over you. Confession is the way you rebuke that. So bring it before God, confess what you got dirty in, and pray the Blood of Christ be poured out upon and within you for the cleansing it brings in both spirit and body
. And pray the Holy Spirit be poured out upon you as well, filling your spirit to be stronger against the flesh. And ask that angels be set around you, to bear you up and to occupy the enemy. And wield your sword – the word of God – on your lips. Then move on in the glory He intended for you.
God bless you in your recommitted life!
