Don't suffer sin or giult.....

The Lord Jesus Christ be with, may the Holy Spirit be with your Spirit. My brothers and sisters I am called to talk to you about the harsh treatment you place upon yourselves. I ask you in His holy name to refrain from such activities. You are not a servant in His Holy Household, but family and you must take your place at His table. Brothers and sisters, I ask you, has not the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob given you a precious gift in Christ Jesus his only son. His love for you melts away the torments of life and brings peace, hope and love to all that would take it to their hearts. Do not suffer the pain of guilt due to sin, nor look down upon yourselves because of sin, rather put to good use the blood that was spilt for you, let not one drop be wasted. Turn to Him and let Him take away the pain you feel, the guilt you may have and take up your place at His table.
We sometimes judge ourselves as much if not more than we judge others, but the Lord teaches us not to judge (Matthew 7:1-2 "Judge not, that you be not judged. (2) For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you.)
This goes for judging ourselves as well. We are saved in Him by the blood of the lamb, let us not condemn ourselves based on works we may not have done, but live in the Grace of God by faith. It is by His unconditional love for us that we are saved, this is hard for many to understand, we live in a world that has conditions attached to its love. But Gods love for you is unconditional, He just loves you. I am reminded of (Matthew 18:12-13 What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray? (13) And if he finds it, truly, I say to you, he rejoices over it more than over the ninety-nine that never went astray.)
Our idea on self- worth is not His idea, our worth to Him is based on His love for us (John 3:16-18 "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. (17) For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. (18) Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only Son of God.)
We have to learn to understand His love for us, or at least that is what He is teaching me. If we can understand His love for us, then we have a great chance of overcoming sin and the guilt of sin that drags us down. The Lord knows we are weak and He knows we will make mistakes from time to time, our job is to know that and return to Him as soon as we can before guilt drags us down. We hold a special worth to Him, we have to learn that and live it in Spirit. Again I am reminded of this – (Luke 12:6-7 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God. (7) Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows.)
If we fail to turn back to Christ, we waste His blood, are you going to stand back and watch His blood be wasted, when you had the chance to put it to good use. Was it not bad enough He suffered the way He did, that we just let it go and not put it to good use. I ask you to think about the prodigal son (Luke 15:20-24 And he arose and came to his father. But while he was still a long way off, his father saw him and felt compassion, and ran and embraced him and kissed him. (21) And the son said to him, 'Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.' (22) But the father said to his servants, 'Bring quickly the best robe, and put it on him, and put a ring on his hand, and shoes on his feet. (23) And bring the fattened calf and kill it, and let us eat and celebrate. (24) For this my son was dead, and is alive again; he was lost, and is found.' And they began to celebrate.)
My brothers and sisters celebrate the Lords favor, look not on your sin, but on the faith Christ has in you, it will help you to have faith in Him. Be at peace, fear not and return this day to the one that loves you.
My brothers and sisters, the Grace of our Lord and Christ be with you, may His peace be with you and may the Hope it brings, give you many years in the Love of our Lord and Christ Amen.
PS: Don’t say to yourselves, your sins are far to great. Remember Paul, Paul went out in search of Christians, he hunted them down like animals. Yet the Lord reached Paul and set Paul’s heart on Christ, Paul became a Christian and took the Gospel out into the Gentile nations. So don’t look at your sin, look at the favor of God’s love, look at the Love God has for you. You maybe a new Paul in our sad modern world or you may help the Lord in ways you never thought was possible. Just turn to God your Father, learn from Christ and give birth to the Holy Spirit within. Move forward in Christ in all ways.
 
Hello



What does this mean?

Hi Jari
have you read this
John 3:5-8
Jesus answered, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. (6) That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. (7) Do not marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born again.' (8) The wind blows where it wishes, and you hear its sound, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes. So it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit."

Yes I have , but it sounds like your saying that you must be born again everytime you go astray as sheep. or is this only once that you are born again?
 
Jari this reply is for everyone that reads, its not based at you or for you alone.

I am not saying you must be born again every time you go astray nor am I saying its only once, one is born again. If one falls away from Christ in Spirit, for that one to come back one must be born again. The problem is not the words Born Again, the problem is the understandings of those words. Many Christian do not understand those words in the Spiritual text, they know them in the wisdom of men, but fail them in the depths of Gods Holy Spirit. For many reading this they will not understand what is being said, many struggle with words of flesh and so understanding words of Spirit will be way over their head. There are those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit.
To explain this flesh and the Spirit wisdom and how both are very different, I have no choice but to ask Jesus to explain it in words that you may understand. I asked the Lord and the Lord said to me.
The Lord said “Raymond, the Jews followed the Law and the Law was the word, yet even so there was both the Spirit of the Law and the letter of the Law. Many just followed the letter of the Law, the Spirit of the Law was far too hard for their hearts to understand. They had forgotten Faith, Hope and Love in the Spiritual sense, yet claimed faith hope and love according to them and there understandings. Looking back were they right or wrong to do so? Some Christians have followed after them, setting their understandings according to the way of men. These are the ones that have little or no Spiritual power but have spent a life time pruning themselves and boasting in the flesh . Like the Jews so long ago following a written code, to the letter of the Law. For them this Law will be there judge and its punishments will be severe. Man cannot live by the written code, not in the old way of the Jews nor in the new way of the modern Christian. Have you not read {Romans_7:6 But now we are released from the law, having died to that which held us captive, so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit and not in the old way of the written code.} Why would you return to the old way and make it a Law and turn from the Spirit of Freedom? Why does humanity choose death over life? The law was not just the law the Jews followed so long ago, the law is what you make it even in this age. The bible can become a law unto you if you follow it with the flesh, human wisdom is coming to nothing, if you use human wisdom to follow the bible, all you will have in the end is human wisdom. Christians that lived in the days of Peter and Paul, did not have a bible nor did they do bible study classes. Yes some elders had a scroll or two, but the everyday Christian only had faith and they talked by candle light sharing stories. Word of mouth was the word in those days and faith was abundant. Today we have belief and faith is all but gone, the hearts of many have become cold and hard as stone. Why was it said, if today you He my voice harden not your hearts, because that’s all they had. My voice and faith to see them home. You judge Christianity on this modern world, I say, if you want to see real Christianity, judge it on the days of Peter and Paul.
The truth is, there is both Christian of flesh and the Christian of Spirit, indeed the Christian of flesh is done away with when he or she becomes a new being, a Christian of Spiritual things. Because God is Spirit and only in Spirit and truth can one worship Him, indeed The Father is seeking these ones. Do not place all your hopes in men and the wisdom of the world. If just one is blind, both of you will fall into the pit. Place all your hopes and dreams in Me and my Spiritual messages to the world (The Bible according to Christ) Seek Me in all that you do, and join Me everyday praising our Father for His love for all humanity.
Remember your first love, what brought you to become a Christian? Put on the white garment of truth, your Spirituality. Seek the Spirit of God in all things and never forget the Holy Spirit I sent you to help you remember all that I said. Receive His word in your heart and live it.
Can a Christian fall away? Can he or she lose their salvation? Can they take their eyes of Me? Yes they can. But remember this, its not by my hand but theirs. If the salt loses it saltiness, it is thrown out under foot to be trampled on, not everyone who says to Me Lord, Lord shall enter the Kingdom of Heaven. Just to remind you of a few. Remember Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of lentil stew to Jacob a choice by his own hand. Christians do the same thing every day, sell their birthright for whatever choices they make in life. Placing lessor things before me, making the choice to take the easy road over that of the hard road, walking through the wide gate of destruction rather than seeking the narrow gate of life.
Do not think for one minute that if one says I am Christian, that they are, being a Christian means being Christ-like, it does not mean being religious. Religions are full of foxes, wolves and hypocrites, white washed tombs having the appearance of godliness but denying its power. No a real Christian follows my commands, love is his armor my word is his sword and the power of God is his shield. Christian religions are divided and The Father does not divide, he unites. Christian religions have confusion, the author of confusion is Satan, the Father has one wisdom, its called the truth.
Therefore fear no man, because man can only kill the body. Fear God the Father, because He can kill both the body and soul. It was said, if you love Me follow my commands, what were my commands, what have I commanded you to do? Why are you not doing it? Faith Hope and Love, your heart is the key, not your minds. Educate your hearts first, this will put your mind in order. Do not educate your mind first, this will make your heart hardened and hearing Me will become difficult. In truth, many are yet to be born again for the first time, but what is born again? What is your understandings of born again? Is it something of the flesh, something that can be reasoned with the flesh? No. It’s a wisdom of Spirit and only in Spirit can one be born again. Do you know your spirit? Do you know the Spirit of God? Do you know the seven Spirits of God? If your answer is no, then how can you be born again? Many fail to know the power of the Holy Spirit and why I sent Him to you. They study and search scriptures and never call on the Holy Spirit first to show them the way. They study the scriptures with their own understandings and then teach others, these ones go out and teach others after them and before you know it, man-made doctrine is more for sale than the free word of God the Father.
Even though I love you, I have much against you. Repent of your wrong doings, seek the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in Spirit, become born again in the Spirit as you have been called. Put aside the ways of man and become a real Christian, a Christian of Spiritual ways.
 
I don't think born again christian can loose His salvation. How can elect be not saved? How can child of God be forsaken?

But yes every christian must be born again.

I just dont understand why you wrote "Do you know the seven Spirits of God?" because in John 3, Jesus tells about being born again and that's the faith in Jesus sacrafice, for you that makes you a born again.

John 3:16
