need prayer

sermonindex Oct 29, 2011

I am in need of prayer for myself. I have not been on here for quite a while and not sure where to turn. I am in a spot in my life that is not good. Without going into detail, my spiritual life is gone, sin has seemed to take over and I feel I have been weighted with guilt and remorse and fear that I can not move. I can't pin point the time when this started but the decline has been overwhelming to me. I don't know how to begin, I don't know how to approach God. If I could get prayer for my deliverance from the darkness I would so be thankful.

I will pray for you, Reformer....Remember your Spurgeon quote, "It is not your hold of Christ that saves you, but His hold of you." He will complete the work which He began in you....

Dear Brother,

It is never a sin or disgrace to admit where we are. Jesus says, Come as you are, and He means it. He loves our honesty.

That is your first step. As it was with the prodigal son.

It is easy, Jesus made it easy for us. Go to Him in your quiet place, alone with Him and cry out to Him telling Him your heart of longing to come back, confessing your state and then read the Gospel of John. There is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. Jesus is there with a heart of compassion and a heart of forgiveness. Just come, He says.

And when you feel and know His love and forgiveness He says, go and sin no more. It is His great love and forgiveness that will cause you to not want to sin anymore or be far from Him. It is the glorious Eyes and Heart of compassion He has for you that will melt your heart.

I will be holding you up in prayer as well as you "come" to the Throne of grace and mercy and pour yourself out to Him.

You are so precious to Him dear Brother. He loves you dearly and He will never turn away your broken and contrite heart. NEVER. So, come to Him.

Love in the Lord and many prayers dear Brother.

Amen and Amen

The liar and murderer is at work. Yours is to repent and believe God for what He says and not let Satan do what satan does best. You know this already my brother and I know if it were me, you would remind me also. You would say to me, "repent and believe Christ for what He says". You would say," If God has forgiven you, if you repent, can anyone accuse you"? If I said I don't know how to approach God because I don't consider myself worthy, you would tell me, who is? You would say,"Only Christ is worthy and on Him you must place your trust and not your worthiness. You would tell me not even think about earning my way back to Christ, for that is impossible. You would tell me to stop sinning and confess my guilt before my Lord and Savior and know that it is the devil accusing me and lying to me so that I will look to my worth and not Gods. Do not feel alone. Satan uses this trick masterfully. Finding a chink in the armor, he directs the blade so as to open a larger entry. I have seen even pastors believe this lie and walk away from God because it made them look to themselves for what is impossible to provide. Worthy is the Lamb and Him alone! These men knew Christ to be more powerful than satan but they turned their eyes on themselves as though they could muster up enough goodness in themselves to be acceptable to God, they believed the lie. I will pray for your strength, but understand what is going on. It is just a proficient way that satan works when the saint has taken his eyes off the master and not crucified the flesh daily. Do not think their is any other saint that has not been deceived by this same technique of the evil used on them in one way or another. God is not robbed and the evil one will pay dearly for messing with the bride of Christ.

Run to Christ immediately. All the other posts are right as well. Satan would have you stay away, stay in sin and remain bound in chains to your sin. But look Unto Christ Who is able to forgive you by His precious blood; set you free; and make you whole. Go to Him the only way possible, humbly on your knees, confessing all your sins to Him Who is not willing that any shoudl perish. Tozer declared, 'Where you lost God is where you will find Him. If you lost Him in prayer, then go back to the prayer chamber; if you lost Him in Bible reading then go back to reading'
'I haven't given you a spirit of fear, but of love, power and a sound mind'.
Look at the cross and see His love for you and the atonement for your sins.

Blessings, dear Brother Reformer.

I don't know if anyone has noticed, that every time in our Bibles that a man of GOD went through 'something' - that he would come out the other side "deeper still" and humbler still in our mighty GOD - realizing that it's His Righteousness that He desires to impart and 'His' fruit abides/lasts.
Sometimes we make our ministries or something or someone else "our righteousness".
The Righteous man stumbles 7 times but GOD lifts him up [he gets up every time].
You do love The LORD and there's not a question in our hearts that you do.
You are human like the rest of us and sometimes, we need something to prove that to us - not that GOD is ever the author of sin, but He 'uses' All things to work HIS Image into us and know that it is nothing of us and all of Him. He Must Increase, as we decrease.
"No confidence in the flesh".
We don't decide to fall to test GOD, but it is a test or contest of sorts in the heavenly battle between GOD and His enemy and us. We should always be praying one for another for that reason, in our love for His Church - His Body - all of us. Let he that thinks he stands take heed lest he fall.


In this message below that Jeremy posted, there's even a funny part in it by Art Katz that I enjoyed last night. I hope the message of what is in the heart of GOD, on HIS Righteousness, will come through this, if you have time to listen to the whole of this message. It's priceless, I believe ...

Isa 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

The LORD Bless you and Keep you. We're praying 'with' you.

Thank you for all the words of encouragement. Thank for the things you all have said, It is often difficult to admit that you have fallen when you have been a christian for so long. thank you for the prayers.
Blessings

God resists the proud but gives grace to the humble....It is good that you have taken this step. None of us wants to admit to having fallen. A truth that we heard preached once, and that we have raised our children on is this: "The power of sin is in its secrecy".....I am not by this, saying that we should air all our dirty laundry before the world, but I believe we are greatly helped when we are able to share with a godly Christian friend or two.....Continuing in prayer for you...

I will pray for you.

I would also like to encourage you to listen to the following message from William Carroll of Times Square Church, I think you will find it helpful, it is titled Prayer and Temptation;
