I know I've already posted here a couple days ago, but I had just read 1 John 5:16 :
1 John 5:16-17 ESV
[16] If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask, and God will give him life—to those who commit sins that do not lead to death. There is sin that leads to death; I do not say that one should pray for that. [17] All wrongdoing is sin, but there is sin that does not lead to death.

I feel that I have sinned so deeply that it may not even be in God's will for me to receive prayer for life. I will confess to having thought it would be better for me not to live. We all know about the unforgiveable sin of blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, which I feel I have committed just by not listening to his voice so many times in this habit of lust until it became something unspeakably evil.

I don't know if there is hope for me, or if my salvation was false and I have committed a sin losing to death, as 1 John says.
 
Hebrews 10:26-31 ESV
[26] For if we go on sinning deliberately after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, [27] but a fearful expectation of judgment, and a fury of fire that will consume the adversaries. [28] Anyone who has set aside the law of Moses dies without mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. [29] How much worse punishment, do you think, will be deserved by the one who has trampled underfoot the Son of God, and has profaned the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and has outraged the Spirit of grace? [30] For we know him who said, “Vengeance is mine; I will repay.” And again, “The Lord will judge his people.” [31] It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

just to add to this...I feel over absolute talked on his grace and now His wrath is upon me. Not just loving discipline, but wrath. And I don't know if I'm redeemable now.

the fact you posted this says otherwise .

I don't know the issue but let's just say I can relate far more then you know .I have a besetting sin that I often fight and a heart of stone that it seems ain't changing .I desire things of the world over the things of God .

but yet in God's mercy after some time and oddly one sermon my heart is not as cold . I'm not free but such is our santification it's never over night but a step .

The key word here I'd " feel ".
You feel you are out side of God's will.
You do not know this for a fact and here is a relevant fact.
Un saved Sinners are not concerned about their sin or their relationship with God.
The fact that you are concerned shows that the spirit is convicting you of sin and that means you have a hope.
 
1John 5:16-17 is a reminder that believers are still capable of sinning, but our sin does not have the same consequences as that of those who are not in Christ. Believers can pray and be prayed for and restored to fellowship with God as we are forgiven every time when we repent and lay our sin before the Lord. We all struggle with areas of weakness and when we recognize that weakness we know we need God's help with whatever it is as through Christ Jesus we are overcomers. We as a child of God through faith that is Christ Jesus will not go around willfully sinning like grace would give us a license to sin, but the more fellowship we have with Christ and the assembling of others that are Christ own we grow and mature in the word of God as we live a life that is pleasing unto Him.


Heb 10:26 For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,
Heb 10:27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.

Yes there is hope for you.

God loves you and desires that you return to Him and be restored.

You must learn to avoid using your eyes to look at earthly sensual things that stimulate your lustful desires.

You must learn to avoid people and places that are not right.

Use the members of your body for things that are righteous.

This is called sowing to the Spirit. The Spirit will always lead you in the right path.


Repent, return to God in humility and He will restore you and lift you up.

The sin is in not allowing God to save. Some think this is spiritual and some physical. A common view is that this sin involves persistent, willful rebellion against God, refusing repentance and rejecting salvation. Some scholars connect it to blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, which Jesus describes as an unforgivable sin (Matthew 12:31-32).

Revelation 22:17, says: "And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely."
