I do not know the point sometimes why I feel lead to make a tread but my heart feels at times that it needs to be heard. At age 5, I was lead to a little church to learn the workings of Jesus Christ but by these teachings at this time I believe hey, as long I come to church I am saved. When receiving the Gift of the holy ghost like at age 16 was when it hit me that yes Jesus loves and he will everything in his power to lead me out but at the same time I learned the Jesus will let me do as desire too even if it means that where make me be distant from him. I did not believe that this was a major thing until I turn 21 to my current age of now that it was a major thing. I thought before age 21 that I could get away with any sin and still be saved but that can not be always the case I learned later on through age 21, yes I can sin but what if its done right at the time before my death- then I will be going to a place called hell- for sin is all that separates me from Christ so whenever I am called to die I pray there will be no sin in this flesh of mine or Jesus will not want this dirty soul...

Today I am more faithful but the devil keeps giving me that mindset to sin and I will always be forgiven.
But I must ignore that Lion.

Yes he may have me at my pride at my fetishes but I need a healing from this for I have looked at the junk of the world through these fetishes that my mind as grow corrupted that they are not easy to overcome.

But know me that I still honor the ten comments and I will not lust anything but if I do it is because Satan just punched me with a hard blow at that time.

I do not want no one to think I am some creep or something, I try hard each day to be as purified in Jesus Christ as can and I never will hurt a soul by my hands. I do not want to hurt one by my mouth either so if I do forgive me.


I love everyone, Pray for me that I can overcome my fetishes for it is sin that separates me from Christ and I do not want to be looking at it or thinking of it when he calls me home...
 
forgive me everyone but I made constant grammar errors in this text and I can not correct em cause I reached the limit of 5 minutes for re editing. And we should not be limited that less of time to edit something, we should have more time than that but oh well.

Thank you for your commment
 
A part of what you need is accountability. If you have a close Christian brother you can rely on to hold you accountable, that you can be honest with each time you slip up or who you can call on when you're feeling tempted, that would go a long way. You didn't specify what these 'sins' are you're referring to, but your wording implies its sexual in nature, possibly porn. There are quite a few posts on this subject with people struggling through it. Maybe sift through the forums for some of the older posts and read peoples responses. Also filtering your internet is another good step. If you are talking about a sexual/porn problem i'd suggest the website XXXChurch.com. Its a ministry focused on helping people with porn and sexual addictions, and even helps get people out of the porn industry itself. So as you can see, they have a concept of all sides of the matter.

And as a quick note on the '5 minute editing time', this has been brought up and discussed. The reasoning for the shorter time is so people can't post something, allowing others to respond, then change their post, making all the response posts no longer applying or making sense. Also it prevents people from posting something inappropriate then changing it before they 'get caught'. Some people have suggested writing your posts in notepad, or Word or some other method. Maybe even saving it and waiting before posting, and rereading it over before you post it at a later time. that way you can just copy/paste the corrected version into the forum.

This particular portion of your post concerns me. It makes me feel that you do not trust the Gospel message. Look at this Greek word used in 1 Peter 3:18 - Blue Letter Bible - Lexicon

Christ died once for all sins - past, present, future. He even died for your sins before you were born, so this shows that he died for the sins that you hadn't even made yet. So why worry about the sins that you will make in the future?

But if you don't believe in this message then this shows that you do not trust that Christ died to take away all of your sins. And since you are not trusting in God's work but in something you must do for yourself to make yourself right with God then you are not saved.

So trust in God. He has paid the price. Stop worrying and start obeying. :)
 
Furthermore, you have some people saying, "But if you don't confess with your mouth then you're not saved!!" Well, I guess that rules mutes out of the Kingdom of Heaven since they can't confess with their mouths and be saved.

The only thing you need to worry about is what God has done for you, and since he's done it all you don't need to worry about anything. Just trust in him for your salvation through Christ and you are saved. All of your sins are forgiven. It is still good to confess and to address your sins and to obey God. Sometimes if people do not obey God then they will backslide and eventually lose faith that God even exists. So good works are good to do, but they do not save us even if they do help us to keep faith.

thank for the comments
 
Furthermore now, I feel at liberty to tell u what my pride is. But I hear it is not pride where my problem lays, its me worshiping false idols.

here comes the confession...


those idols are bondage and foot fetish..

I have prayed to be cured from it but I now believe Jesus will soon even if I am still currently worshiping those false idols.

so everyone please pray for me as well in this:)

... I really don't know what you mean by this, but I'm not going to press you to tell me. I like your heart, but you should stop beating yourself up! Rejoice in God's forgiveness! Obey him and enjoy life. I don't think you need to be worried. People will struggle and fall and get back up all of the time. It has little to do with the state of our salvation. It's just our daily walk with God. So don't think God is poised to strike you down after every mistake you make. If your heart is headed in the right direction it doesn't matter how many times you fall down. God understands and I believe he is with you. But if your heart was not headed in the right direction then you wouldn't even be here to talk to us about these things in your life because you wouldn't care. And that's how it works. The people who have poor hearts are the ones who don't know it. And the people who have rich hearts are the ones who think their hearts are poor.
