I was not expecting I would be speaking in tongues went I went to the altar and prayed for forgiveness of my sins and took Jesus for my savior .
Okay, but I still think you should consider asking Jesus for discernment about that.
Just give me an age range .
As a tot? Between 5-6 years old.
Were you baptized after you became a Christian ? I have been baptized in water .
I got water baptized twice as a tot with a sprinkling of water on the head. Not sure why they did that. Vaguely recalled a temper tantrum that may had disturbed them. Not sure. Then if there was another time as a young adult, I cannot recall, but I do recall that I sought out water immersion at a Baptist church. Nothing happened but I had it done. I was wondering if it would solve my habitual sin at that time but no.
Jesus had to be the One to help me deal with it daily by laying aside every weight ( provision for the flesh ) and sin and keep casting down sinful thoughts to think on good ones daily. Hebrews 12:1-2 & Hebrews 4:12-16 & 2 Corinthians 10:4-6 & Philippians 4:6-9
Are you currently a member of a church ? Is your name on a church roll book would be the answer I am seeking . What denomination church , if so ?
Formerly Presbyterian but no more.
I am going through something that others may have a hard time believing as I am under oppression where my enemies are able to sow discords with any one I meet.
Maybe the Lord will tell you for why I cannot even have a friend here.
Course, I have shared that I have been diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenic hearing voices and not just being deaf in my left ear with a constant ringing in the ear in my right ear. My deafness has been since I was a tot for why I had trouble pronouncing words correctly like six six six and so anyway... the voices came later on during high school when it sounded like somebody walking by outside along the road by the house but there was no one there and then it grew to where it is now like a live studio audience in the background saying and reacting to what I was thinking or doing as I believe those voices belong to those that have access to my thoughts.
I began thinking that when people around me and at the workplace began saying things to me that they could not say unless they had access to my thoughts.
One time I went to work at night as an overnight stocker at Wal-Mart and I had to stop because a mother deer and a couple of fawns were walking casually across the road, even with my car there mere feet away, but at a complete stop. A thought came into my head about running the two fawns over, but it was hardly a temptation because I enjoyed seeing the mother deer and her two fawns. When I had arrived at work and was on the floor, a female associate was off clock doing her shopping before going home that night. She was listening to someone on the phone. Then she marched right over to me and yelled "You tried to run over two fawns!" Then she stopped, collected herself to whomever she was listening on the phone and walked away, leaving me speechless and at a loss as I add that to another list of why I believe people have access to my thoughts for why I cannot have friends.
The irony is that my prophetic dreams as a tot ( 5 to 7 years old ) where I was being watched by people over my head for why I stayed away from the girl I love in my dreams. So it's like strange how everything happening now is fulfilling why I cannot get close to people because my enemies know how to sow discord by giving other people access to my thoughts.
So this is my thorn in the flesh & the Lord is helping me through it, yea, even carrying me at times as they do make me angry as they do mischief and defrauding me seemingly everywhere I go. They have been coming into my folks' home at night or when we are away for why I got bar braces on the door but I digress.
They do sow discord with the people at church too. Amazing how mad they get or offended the next time I see them.
I am trying to wrap my head around the "tot" part of you believing .
Little children are free to come to Him ( Mark 10:13-15 ) and believe in Him to be saved for all they can do is trust the Lord at His word. John 3:16 & John 3:18 is simple for knowing how we are saved from those that are not because they did not believe in Him. When you consider the work of the Father john 6:44 & Matthew 11:25-27, then nothing is impossible with God in saving children by simply believing in Jesus..
