I know the Lord has started a good work in me.So far He has already taken away drunkeness,anger,love of money,filthy language,and other things I would rather not mention.The first 2 months of seeking him was great.but the last 2 have been a nightmare.I have without a doubt been under demonic attack for what seems like forever.
Anyway I really want to get into a true Church of Christ asap,are there any members on here in the myrtle beach area that could help me locate one?Its just tough right now being a "baby Christian" trying to find the narrow path.I am truly a prisoner in my own mind,seems like I will never escape.Anyway I greatly appreciate any help.Thank you |
What does the Gospel mean to me?
We Read in Matthew 16: 24 - 27. Jesus tells us, if anyone desires to come after me, let him or her deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.
For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.
Jesus Transfigured on the Mount.

Matthew 16: 28; 17: 1 - 13. Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, let them up on a high mountain by themselves; and He was transfigured before them. His face shone like the brilliant star, and His clothes became as white as the brilliant light. While he was still speaking, behold, a Very, very bright and brilliant cloud overshadowed them; and suddenly a voice came out the cloud, saying, this is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. Hear Him!
So what? Is this image of Christ Look like!

We Read in Matthew 5: 3 - 16. Blessed are the pure in Heart, for they shall see God the Son. You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a high hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light, like a brilliant lamp and put it under basket, but on a brilliant lamp stand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. Let your light so shine before all men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
First you must be saved from your Sins. If? You say, but I have no sins!

We read in Psalm 51: 5. Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity, and in sin my mother conceived me.
This means, that you became sin curse as soon you came into the world. You became sin curse.
As we read in Romans 5: 12 - 20. therefore, just as through one man sin entered the whole world, and death through sin, and thus death spread to all men, (Humanity) because all sinned - (For until the law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. never the less death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who had not sunned according to the likeness of the transgression of Adam, who is a type of Him who was to come.
Adam represents all of humanity. And we became sin! This is separation from God. Spiritually death! No knowledge of God. Unbelief.
(As in Gen. 3:1 - 19.)
Death! What death is God talking about, not physical death?
We Read in Romans 6:23. For the Wages of Sin is Death.
It is not Physical death? No God is speaking about spiritual death.
Revelation 2:11. He that over come shall not be hurt of the second death
Revelation 21: 7 - 8. He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be my son. But the cowardly, the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and sexually immoral, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burns with fire and brimstone:
The First is Physical death & Suffering, sickness, disease, plagues.
The Second death is separation from God.
The soul is endless darkness, falling down with no end.
Torch, in perpetual pain.
An imprint of Madness.
Tormented my God?s fury, hatred of all sins, hell.
The second death. No fruits (Blessing)
Question? How can I have God here my voice?

PSALM 51
Verses 17. The sacrifices of GOD are a broken Spirit: a broken and a contrite heart. O GOD thou wilt not despises.
One and one with God, along.

God, the Father wants you the individual to confess to him only.
You must not have any pride.
You must be stripped down of all pride.
Come to God like a little child that needs his father.
Come less All of your sin to God only.
He can see your heart.
God is not a man.
And if you can’t He will help you. Power you cannot imagine. Remember God, the Father so Compassion & merciful. He endures all things.
We read in I Cor. 10: 13. There hath no temptation take ye but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that you may be able to bear it.
One and one with God, along.
Matthew 11: 24 – 30 But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.
25 I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes.
26Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight.
27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.
28Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Galatians 6: 1 – 18 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
2Bear ye one another’s burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
3For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.
4But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another.
5For every man shall bear his own burden.
6Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things.
7Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
9And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.
10As we have therefore opportunity, let us do good unto all men, especially unto them who are of the household of faith.
11Ye see how large a letter I have written unto you with mine own hand.
12As many as desire to make a fair show in the flesh, they constrain you to be circumcised; only lest they should suffer persecution for the cross of Christ.
13For neither they themselves who are circumcised keep the law; but desire to have you circumcised, that they may glory in your flesh.
14But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.
15For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.
16And as many as walk according to this rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the Israel of God.
17From henceforth let no man trouble me: for I bear in my body the marks of the Lord Jesus.
18Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit. Amen.
Acts 17: 22 – 31 I perceive that in all things ye are too superstitious.
23For as I passed by, and beheld your devotions, I found an altar with this inscription,
TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom therefore ye ignorantly worship, him declare I unto you.
24God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands;
25Neither is worshipped with men’s hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things;
26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;
27That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:
28For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.
29Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device.
30And the times of this ignorance God winked at; but now commandeth all men every where to repent:
31Because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Dear friend

All you need to do is to find solitude, a place where you find peace away from people. It is said, if we come to God before sunrise and look to the south that he will hear our prayers. Just be yourself and let your heart guide you to him and just wait and to answer you don't stop.
confess by mouth and believe in your heart, God the father goes deep into your heart, your soul as well.
R0mans 10:6-11. Verses 1. Unto thee O Lord do I lift up my soul?

Verses 2. O my GOD I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.
Verses 3. Yea, let none that wait on thee be ashamed: let them be ashamed which transgress without cause.
Verses 6. But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this Wise, say not in thine heart, who shall ascend into heaven? (That is, to bring Christ down from above)
Verses 7. Or who shall descend into the deep? (That is bring Christ again from the dead)
Verses 8. But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth and in the heart?
(That is the word of faith, which we preach)
Verses 9. That if thou salt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and salt believe in thine heart that GOD hath raised him from the dead, thou salt be saved.
Verses 10. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Verses 11. For the scripture saith, whosoever believeth on Him shall not be ashamed.
