I have good news. In January of 2020 a man came up to me out of the blue and told me “Jesus loves you” after I messaged two people believers that He didn’t. That man walked up to me and walked away. In October last year a man asked me if I knew Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior after I asked him how he was doing and I replied no but I’m beginning to see a light he replied do it this week we don’t know how much time we have left. I am thinking God might be trying to get my attention. I have actively been seeking Jesus for several months now. What do you all think? I’ve heard there are no coincidences when it comes to the Lord. I have no Holy Spirit conviction at all. I am indifferent to my sin deep down. I am being condemned by the verses about reprobate mind and God hardening whom He wills. I know not another second is promised.

A reprobate would not be seeking Christ. A hardening doesn't result in you seeking Christ.

Indifferent to sin? Jesus paid for your sin.

It seems the Holy Spirit is working in you but you may be resisting Him.

Surrender to Jesus. He wants you where you are and will lead you to where He needs you to be within His timing.

Of course, we do not know the day or hour of His return. Could be tomorrow or could be 10 years. But we could die in our sleep as well.

change. The Holy Spirit often changes lives, so long as we have
a spiritual reality awareness."

I too believe there is no coincidence.

A very wise man once told me that there is only one thing you need to seek. The understanding that Jesus Christ is the living son of God. Once you accept that, everything else comes in its time. Try not to get side-tracked.

I have a prayer for you:

"Oh God, I have tasted Thy goodness, and it has both satisfied me and made me thirsty for more. I am painfully conscious of my need for further grace. I want to want Thee, I long to be filled with longing; I thirst to be made more thirsty still. Show me Thy glory, I pray Thee so that I may know Thee indeed. Then give me grace to rise and follow Thee up from this misty lowland where I have wandered so long. In Jesus name. Amen" A.W. Tozer

This prayer is from a little short book by A. W. Tozer, The pursuit of God". I would recommend you get a copy when you feel ready.

Enjoy the journey brother Seeker. You are starting a glorious journey; an unbelievable adventure that has no end. But oh, what a ride.

You have enough knowledge to be making this post. God has given me the opportunity to talk to you. Not a coincidence.

You have just acknowledged that you are aware of the fact that we all have sin. It is poison, even if you do not feel it's devastating effects yet. Taking the antidote is only effective before it destroys you. Do not wait until it is too late. (It is too late when you have died.)

Romans 3:23
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”

John 3:14,15,16
“And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:”
“That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.”
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”

All you need to do is to talk to Him and invite Him in to be your Lord and Savior. He is real and is there waiting for you right now.

Revelation 3:20
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.”

I am being condemned by the verses about reprobate mind and God hardening whom He wills.
That is Satan trying to keep you away from Jesus. There are even people right here on CC that he is using to spread this lie. Just go to Jesus now.

2 Peter 3:9
“The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.”

Romans 10:13
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

I’ve been praying to Jesus in my mind for several months by the way. Do you think those strangers bringing up Jesus in the manner that they have in my earlier post is Him trying to get my attention? (Wooing me to Him)?

When I try to seek Christ. I Get deliberate evil thoughts against the Holy Spirit. I KNOW they are my thoughts and not some evil spirit.

God works in mysterious ways. I never put any limitation on what He can do.

We are tainted creatures. That is why we need Him. It is good that you sense spiritual things and your own depravity. Let God heal you.

I don’t seem to sense spiritual things but I do sense my own depravity to an extent intellectually

It's a growing thing. He will gradually reveal more when you are ready. (If you let Him.)

By the way I have severe depression. Maybe that is a factor of why I don’t feel guilt hardly at all.

I would like to encourage you to deliberately respond to what you know to be true.

Repent of anything you know to be sin whether you feel anything or not.

Ask God to make it all real to you.

Without first believing that GOD is (faith), and a rewarder of those that Diligently seek Him, You will not be able to please Him.

It seems to me that He is making Himself known to you and I WOULD NOT take that lightly.

I will be praying that you will know the Truth and be made Free indeed. :)

Gabriel the angel may have sent you an angel with a message. Angels will appear in human form. I believe this is you're calling. With God, there is no chance, fate or luck! it's all blessings. You have no Holy Spirit conviction because you are not born again. When someone becomes a born again Christian, the Holy Spirit immediately indwells you for life & you will know it to be true. Read John 3:33, 16:3, 14:16,17, 1st John 5:10,13. Millions of Christians believe we are in the last of the last days. Blessings to you.
