Will God give me a chance?

Hello, blessings to you all.

I just want to ask you(I know in the past when I did not fall away from the Lord I did feel other people's closeness to God and how great are they in faith) if someone could please tell me if God will give me one more chance? -without checking my older posts.
I know preachers and people close to God have an insight in people's situations, and I'm feeling a bit departed from God. (Older post don't matter, because I got over that stuff long ago, and I found my way back to God. This time I messed up differently):( so I would really appreciate and I would be utterly grateful for some share of insight in my situation. What does the Holy Spirit suggest about me?

Please don't be mean and delete my post(before I receive some answers), I was desperate enough to call for help. Be kind :innocent:

Thank you and have an amazing day :))
 
(if I made anyone angry by not sharing anything about my sit. I will link it here, but unless it's not necessary I would like to skip to share to anybody):innocent::innocent:
 
I can't imagine they will delete your post. God gives second and third chances. His mercies are new every morning.
Whatever you've done can be forgiven but repentance is required.

Hi Krythy,

The Bible and our own experiences tell us there are two very different forces that convict us of our shortcomings in front of God. Satan is quick to point them out and try to convince us that whatever we've done, puts us outside of Jesus's redemption and God's love, slowly he tries to convince us that we're not good enough and don't qualify for the Christian life called discipleship, so don't even try, just enjoy the illusory pleasures of sin, a path which if you were to stay on could lead to destruction.

The other is the Holy Spirit who guides you in matters of God's will, giving you the knowledge of what pleases and upsets God and He helps you in your daily walk, helping your resolve, your experience and understanding of God through reading your Bible and just as importantly, thinking and mulling over what you've read and applying it to your life. Prayer and praise is what God craves more than good behaviour Isaiah 64:6. We avoid sin, not because we fear its consequences - there are none; more because we know that being holy and following Jesus's teaching pleases and delights God, and that's our pleasure. That's what Jesus means when He makes this statement in John 8:31-32

Recommended reading is a book called Pilgrim's Progress by John Bunyan. It was written in the 17th century so its language is a bit Shakespearean but if you can get over that, it's a brilliant read, a fantasy adventure about a Christian on a journey who keeps slipping off the rails and finding himself in 'situations'.

May God bless you.
 
if someone could please tell me if God will give me one more chance?
Yes.

Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants. And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents. But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made. The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.​
(Matthew 18:21-27 KJV)​

If we are to give our brothers and sisters seventy times seven chances, how much more will your Father in heaven wait for you?

BUT, there's a but to be dealt with.

But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest. And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all. And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.​
(Matthew 18:28-30 KJV)​

Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me: Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee? And his lord was wroth, and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him. So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
(Matthew 18:32-35 KJV)​

As God gives us one more chance, are there others to whom you also need to give one more chance?

The Gospel of the Lord is a Gospel of transformation. He doesn't care what you did, but he is intensely concerned with what you will do. He doesn't love you because of what you are, but because of what he can make you become.

Krythy93 if you are still breathing God is very eager to give you all the chances you need....Now you need to trust Him for that. His love for you is NOT conditional.
 
Thank you. Problem is I sacrificed for the dark forces after becoming a christian. But by all means it was'nt for I worshipped them, rather it was for I wanted to save them. I allowed to do anything to me to stop them in their destructing ways. I said if they see how much I love them by bearing all what they do to me, and I manage to love them while or in the time following that they cause me misfortunes, I can show them how much I love them and I believed that will stop them of being fiendish.
After a while I regretted everything, but God warned me quite frequently to stop, but I rejected His counsel decidedly. I don't know if He gonna give me a chance. If not I got to endure all what I promised and asked for this purpose. It was a dead aspiration anyway since they don't get a chance, only it've may have eased the derivance of the cause.


Rhema: Thank you, I had one person I had to forgive.
 
As long as you are breathing and alive, thank God for that, it is never too late ; NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK YOU HAVE DONE!!!

Society may shun you, but God NEVER will!
 
I don't know if He gonna give me a chance.
Then what does this passage tell you? (Two different translations...)

This I recall to my mind, therefore have I hope. It is of the LORD'S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The LORD is my portion, saith my soul; therefore will I hope in him. The LORD is good unto them that wait for him, to the soul that seeketh him. It is good that a man should both hope and quietly wait for the salvation of the LORD.​
(Lamentations 3:21-26 KJV)​
This will I lay up in my heart, therefore I will endure. It is the mercies of the Lord, that he has not failed me, because his compassions are not exhausted. Pity us, O Lord, early every month: for we are not brought to an end, because his compassions are not exhausted. They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness. The Lord is my portion, says my soul; therefore will I wait for him. The Lord is good to them that wait for him: the soul which shall seek him is good, and shall wait for, and quietly expect salvation of the Lord.​
(Lamentations 3:21-26 Brenton)​

And what does this say about the mercies of the Lord to give another chance? Is God not longsuffering?

The LORD is longsuffering, and of great mercy, forgiving iniquity and transgression, ...​
(Numbers 14:18 KJV)​

I don't know if He gonna give me a chance.
So now you know. (But you need to reach out and take it.)

Problem is I sacrificed for the dark forces after becoming a christian.
How is that any worse than stealing (or the actual physical murders that Paul committed)? And yet the Christians in Ephesus were still stealing, or Paul wouldn't have needed to write "Let him that stole steal no more:"

And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another. Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath: Neither give place to the devil. Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth.​
(Ephesians 4:23-28 KJV)​

So then in like manner I write you: let him that "sacrifices for the dark forces" sacrifice no more. (YES, it's that simple.) Although I must be honest to admit that this "sacrificing" might mean anything, really. Send me a PM if you feel it necessary to explain any details, but that won't change the Gospel Truth of Forgiveness and the manner in which we are forgiven.

rather it was for I wanted to save them.
People get saved. "Dark forces"? Again, that might mean anything, but we have no obligation to save demon critters or fallen angels. OUR obligation is to obey the Lord.

I said if they see how much I love them by bearing all what they do to me, and I manage to love them while or in the time following that they cause me misfortunes, I can show them how much I love them and I believed that will stop them of being fiendish.
In many scripture passages, God is represented as your shield FROM what the "dark forces" would do to you. If He is a high tower, then one is to run into the refuge, not run outside saying "hurt me, hurt me". You don't need to do that. But we all make mistakes. I recall a testimony from a new Christian who thought that by helping his unsaved friends to rob a bank it would show them how much he (and Jesus) loved them. Now truly, I don't know what you mean by "dark forces" BUT, they don't think like humans. (And yes, I have met a handful.)

After a while I regretted everything, but God warned me quite frequently to stop, but I rejected His counsel decidedly.
Then Repent, which means to turn around. If you know His counsel, then accept it. Follow it. Breath it. Live it. Obey it. Again, if you need to discuss any specific details, please feel free to send me a PM (private message, aka. start a conversation).

I don't know if He gonna give me a chance. If not I got to endure all what I promised and asked for this purpose.

You have NO obligation to any promises that you may have made if you, in prayer, renounce them before the Lord. Why? "His mercies are NEW every Morning." And -

Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation;​
(2 Corinthians 5:17-18 KJV)​

Be ye reconciled to God. Accept the freedom of forgiveness that He provides. If you have specific worries about how to deal with specific obligations, let me know.

God bless,
Rhema

PS:
rather it was for I wanted to save them. I allowed to do anything to me to stop them in their destructing ways.
Well now you know that doesn't work. Again, not sure who the "them" are, but the WAY of Salvation is that which Jesus taught. There is no other WAY to Salvation for anyone or anything except through the Word (teachings) of Jesus.
