No man is good enough, or strong enough, or pure enough, or wise enough to be the servant of Christ. But if he will give himself to Christ, he will go, not in his own strength, but in the strength of his Lord.

If God is convicting you of sin - then repent and move onward and upward in Him. If you are letting satan take you away in doubt and fear and depression then tell satan to stop and go onward and upward in Christ once more in faithfulness to Him and in His authority over satan... as He will be faithful to you - always.

so any worries that my heart is wrong with God when I pray the prayer of salvation, that worry is from satan?

Cast your burden on the Lord … - (Psalm 55:22).

We must recognize the difference between burdens that are right for us to bear and burdens that are wrong. We should never bear the burdens of sin or doubt, but there are some burdens placed on us by God which He does not intend to lift off. God wants us to roll them back on Him - to literally "cast your burden," which He has given you, "on the Lord…." If we set out to serve God and do His work but get out of touch with Him, the sense of responsibility we feel will be overwhelming and defeating. But if we will only roll back on God the burdens He has placed on us, He will take away that immense feeling of responsibility, replacing it with an awareness and understanding of Himself and His presence.

Many servants set out to serve God with great courage and with the right motives. But with no intimate fellowship with Jesus Christ, they are soon defeated. They do not know what to do with their burden, and it produces weariness in their lives. Others will see this and say, "What a sad end to something that had such a great beginning!"

"Cast your burden on the Lord…." You have been bearing it all, but you need to deliberately place one end on God’s shoulder. "…the government will be upon His shoulder" (Isaiah 9:6). Commit to God whatever burden He has placed on you. Don’t just cast it aside, but put it over onto Him and place yourself there with it. You will see that your burden is then lightened by the sense of companionship. But you should never try to separate yourself from your burden.

Weight versus burden on the other hand is another issue coming from Satan - weight is not from God - for there is no condemnation in Christ Jesus. But that is another post for another time to dig deeper into.

I believe that it is. That worry is definitely not coming from God. After the prayer be sure to invite the Holy Spirit to live in your heart to comfort and guide you leading to repentance and to be with you on the rest of your spiritual journey.

I have a question of what you have in bold, I thought "cast to God" is ... well, what's the difference between cast to God and cast it aside, since ... this seems to go back to "walk by faith, not by sight", hmm ...

theanointedsinner · Jul 7, 2018

did I just get enlightened by the Holy Spirit on this one?

one possible reason satan want us to doubt our salvation, so that when we somehow become convinced that we are not saved, the sin part of us will take that as an excuse "you are not saved anyway, go ahead and sin, it doesn't matter"

I just spent like, the last 3 hours generating cats.. lol

tourist · Jul 7, 2018

It's time for me to leave for the night and get ready for bed. Another work day tomorrow and then I get a couple days off. Good thing too because I am tired, drained, and running on fumes. God bless all of my peeps here.

theanointedsinner · Jul 7, 2018

let's get back to our sacred devotionals

theanointedsinner · Jul 7, 2018

@slave how to repent the right way, since we can't repent on our own

There are cases where a woman knows she may die in childbirth because of pre-existing complications, but those cases are very rare and in those cases she has a choice.

The real problem is that probably 99% of abortions are not medically necessary. There is certainly a small number of rare cases where a woman may be risking her life in childbirth but those cases are rare and not the problem with abortion. This is about the other thousands of babies aborted every year because the mother just didn't want to have a baby.

if sin is a corruputed form of good, then how can we praise God from what we desire from sin?

kodiak · Jul 7, 2018

Well I just did a 7.5 mile bike ride all without leaving my house and then did a devotional and spent some time with God. My evening is going very well.

How is everyone else doing?

theanointedsinner · Jul 7, 2018

is there a difference between memorizing scripture and meditating on scripture?

Janna38 · Jul 7, 2018

One time I was praising God and got scolded by a ministry leader right in the middle of it. That was a mark my friends. It was a mark that changed my life and my family’s. I can call it a scar.

theanointedsinner · Jul 7, 2018

that ministry leader don't understand you janna

like how a parent can punish a child for not understanding the child, and the child would wonder if the child is being punished for telling the truth, or is it better to lie

see the damage?

Janna38 · Jul 7, 2018

And how to repair the damage

kodiak · Jul 7, 2018

theanointedsinner said:

Yes, memorizing is retaining the information. Meditating is more like reflection. They can go together, but there is a difference.

Janna38 · Jul 7, 2018

I read something in scripture I hope I get to see it in real life and be able to experience it too.

That beautiful God is gonna get married :/
