A lady from Dot Com needs some help and encouragement.

She thinks she did the unforgivable sin, and that everything is doom and gloom.

Thank you for sharing this with us Jeremy. It's so sad when I read her replies. I wish she knew our Lord and Savior at a deeper level and how He desires a relationship with us. She seems to think that her prayers being answered the way she wants them are dependent upon her behavior and if her prayers are not answered, she did something wrong. It's so sad.
We need to pray that she comes to an understanding that God never promised us everything we pray for. What He promises us is that he will never leave or forsake us. God doesn't promise us that bad things won't happen to us. He actually says that bad things will happen to us and we will have trouble. But he is there with us, to help us get through it.

So many Christians fall into this trap of thinking bad things happen to them because they failed to live up to God's standards. This is the same thinking of the ancients and their practice of worshiping idols. They sacrificed to the idols in order to gain favor with the gods, and to appease the gods of their wrath. If the worshipers did not have their requests answered, they reasoned they did something to anger the gods, or they did not sacrifice enough.

Lord I am praying you use JairMii in a mighty way to be a witness to this lady that she will see the light of Christ shine out from him and seek God in her misunderstandings, in Jesus name, amen
 
That happened to me once. I was involved in a conversation where an inappropriate joke came out. Just sort of stumbled into it. The enemy pounced hard. Messed me up for a while.

Our tongue can surely bless us or curse us. It's not always easy to put in practice, lean to think before you speak.
 
Don't feel too sad for me! It pushed me to dive deeper into Christ. When you come out of something like that, you definitely move from thinking you're a Christian to knowing you're a Christian.

Yes that makes a lot of sense
A good lesson on how to deal with trials.
 
Once i was so angry i wont even tell you what i said to God it has to be cencored.

Then i realised i was just a fool and it was only myself and my own choices to blame so i apologised to God and asked for forgiveness.
