Okay so someone said yesterday that everyone really needs to start thinking about eternity and stuff.. I get scared thinking about it because that’s a time that never ends and obviously I don’t want to end up in hell.. I mean who does? So I have to accept Jesus as my savior. All it takes is me asking him. I know facts about Him. I study the Bible. I pray to Him. When I was little I thought I could earn my way into heaven. I thought if I was just really good I could still make it. It doesn’t work that way though. And knowing facts about him won’t help unless you trust him. I know that y’all are probably tired of me posting stuff on here but I go through this all the time and I make it harder than I need to.
Thinking
- Thread starter Jessca95
- Start date
I also wanted to say that my friend and others have told me that Jesus is calling me. He says that because I’ve been seeing Jesus stickers on light poles, on cars, and also when I go to stores there have been songs about Jesus on the radio. I also got a thing in the mail that says do you know Jesus as Lord. And I got a dollar bill that said trust Jesus. If anyone could reply or talk to me that would be greatly appreciated

Its not so much that these things appearing are doing so more often (although that could happen), its just as easily being that the Holy Spirit is making you more aware of it. A gentle knock on the door of your mind, saying perhaps, "Jessica, dont follow the road to destruction, its a terrible ending, take the leap of faith, you will never regret it." But perhaps fear holds you back, fear causes many to not follow Christ, fear of persecution, of mockery, of loss of freedom, loss of joy. All lies from the evil one who wants you to die in your sins.
Honestly I don’t know what is holding me back. It’s not that I don’t believe in Him because I pray all the time like I said

Yes seeing signs everywhere could indeed be mom pointing the way toward the father
I look at the Holy Spirit as mom silly I know but mom is the comforter she has a different vibe than dad
Moms vibe is more soothing I know mom is with me because I will get a song stuck in my head the song is “ blood of the lamb “ are you washed in the blood of the lamb” will wash over me and comfort me
And when I slip up I can almost hear her -sigh- and I’m like “ sorry mom”
Dad has his own vibe as well he is loving but stern when he calls me out for slipping up its more like a father standing there peering over his glasses saying “AHEM” “What are doing son?”
The closer I get to god through the word the easier it is for me to sense which spirit is with me
I’m glad you are feeling moms presence she is there to guide you to the father

I realized I hadn’t answered you
The fact that you are worried in eternal life is a big step ! Rejoice
You should start to worry if you are sinning without care for what happens
Putting trust in god was tough for me and I still struggle with it, we want to be in control I myself consider myself very disciplined I have a set routine I have a set diet and workout all week
I’m a “ control freak” at times it’s a self defense mechanism I used to think if I stick to the routine nothing bad can happen , no surprises
But the downside was that when things went sideways. And they always do I had a hard time dealing with it
I would struggle all day with “ how did it go wrong?” “ what could I have done?” “ WHY ME?!?”
But then slowly I started letting go of the wheel and would let DAD take over
I would say “Lord I don’t know why this is happening right now but I thank you because I know you have a plan And I never claim to be smarter than you “
And then I would work through it, I would feel the Holy Spirit walking with me and she would comfort me and put a song in my heart
Next thing I knew I would get the task done and afterwards I would remember to thank god for testing me
You as well will be able in time slowly start letting go and trusting DADS plan
Jerimiah 1:5
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart
I have this taped to my bathroom mirror on a flash card as a daily reminder that god has a plan for me just as he has a plan for you! REJOICE!
Shalom

Yes he is ready and willing but he won’t make you
You have to take that first step, and it can be scary but every journey starts with that first step
You can do it!
Pray it up and read the word

Steps four and five are more just walking the Christian walk. But the big thing is to believe though and receive Jesus grace. This is something you can talk to God about. A prayer doesn't save you, but believing what you say does. Walking in the Word of God is what shows true repentance. You learn it and live it. Bless you. I'll pray God takes Your fear away, because it is a lie holding you back.
