Struggling with the battle inside...

[Tyler]

Lately I have been dealing with myself. I know that Jesus is my Savior and I have been born-again, but I find myself second-guessing myself. I don't know why. It has been a long while since I have been saved.

I know that Jesus is there and everything and I do believe so and I HAVE been saved, but I don't feel as if my heart actually believes this.

I don't know if I'm making any sense as my heart and mind are all jumbled up, but is this normal? I don't know why I know in my head that Jesus died on the cross, rose from the grave, and shed his blood for me to be saved, and yet my heart doesn't feel like it believes it.

But for some reason I don't feel like my heart is in it...I have been away from Jesus for some time(sinning), and have just recently been back. I don't know, maybe it is a side-effect of this?

Can anybody help me out please?

God will forgive you. He promises to.

Hey Tyler,

I want you to know that if you pray for forgiveness with an earnest heart, and repent from whatever it is that kept you from getting closer to God, He will forgive you.
I am going through the same battle. I couldn't seem to feel Gods forgiveness, despite repenting. In my pursuit of my shameful desires, I hurt my mom along the way, I finally broke down and told her about the things that I kept from her. She had trusted me, and I broke her trust over and over and over. I then lied to her over and over and over in order to cover everything up.

I pray that this is the right advice, If there is someone that you hurt along the way, apologize to them. Its going to hurt...badly, but everything will pass, they have no choice but to if they ever cared for you or loved you. Things will get better.
This is the only way that you can clear your conscience. Then ask God for forgiveness, and most importantly, forgive yourself. You cant go back and change time, but you are in full control of your future.

Also, give things time. You wont feel better in an instant. Pray for the Holy Spirit to comfort you and give you peace, you'll be surprised how much that helps! I will keep you in prayer.

God Bless

1Jn 3:20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.
1Jn 3:21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God.

Rom 8:38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
Rom 8:39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Choose to trust and believe God my friends.
God promised that when we confessed and repented He would forgive us, His Word is always true.
What can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord? Only ourselves. Lay your guilty conscience at His feet and receive the love He longs to give you. Do not strive but call on His Name for strength and healing and simply walk each step trusting that He has and you will see the power and presence of God released in your life.

1Jn 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Psa 103:10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.
Psa 103:11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.
Psa 103:12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.
Psa 103:13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

Mic 7:19 He will turn again, he will have compassion upon us; he will subdue our iniquities; and thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Heb 8:12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

Heb 10:15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness to us: for after that he had said before,
Heb 10:16 This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them;
Heb 10:17 And their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.

Dear Tyler
What steps did you take when you were born again? I mean did you go through the process of REPENTANCE, BAPTISM IN WATER and THEN RECEIVING HOLY SPIRIT as stated in ACTS 2: 38? All in that order?
If you didnt and need further understanding of it let me know, I will explain as you so desire.

I know you backslided many times and you only now began with God again, but it takes time to get back into any relationship that is broken and you broke your relationship with God for years, so you got to be patient and keep talking with God as you build back your relationship with HIM.

Yours in Christ

Are you saying that you can not receive the Holy Spirit and God's forgiveness and his salvation unless you are baptised in water?

Gal 5:16 This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh.

17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would.

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law.


God bless

pl.. Don't hust your self

please don't worry, i love you in christ, God also also loving you more than us..
please read carefully,
1. first understand your self.........
who is accusing you ? is world? is any purticular person?
or ... is Jesus is accusing you ? do you know ?
only your mind is accusing on you, only your concience is accusing on you. so you are not thinking and doing very wrong things..
first you try to know.... only there is big struggle in your mind..
you are with some own desires ..in family and all..
when your desires are not fulfillling you are feeling alot.. stop to feel, try to know the struggle, which is fighting in you..
Pro 16: 32 He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty; and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city..
dear Jeffness .. angry, feelings, never wins the life struggles..
making cegars with bible paper roles and smoking not gives the peace.. first you control the mindset..
same time you can see, in word of God
paul said, i am doubting that i have another part in my body, which is not allowing me to do good..
that is our flesh.. flesh is always weak.. so be stong in Lord..
be with peace in christ
His peace is greater than all
His salvation is very strong and it is eternal

be happy
a servant of God
