Assurance

More than anything in this life, I need the assurance Jesus is with me. Im so afraid my mind is all messed up. Im.afraid God may have left me. Please, I beg of you, pray for me.

Precious friend, rather than ever leaving, He Always Stays, and One of His Works Is
"helping our infirmities":

God's Grace Word for our infirmities! ( see especially # 7! )

Amen.

John 5:24 ESV
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

Do you believe in Jesus who on behalf of the father died for your sins? Resurrected on the 3rd day? For the forgiveness of your sins?

Yes, I do! But Ive had so much come against me, Ive begun to doubt when the Lord was speaking to me. Im very scared. I know I was saved on November 23, 1975 but my assurance is still shaky. The ene.y has done a nu.ber on me.

Start believing God's word. He is faithful to His promises. He said, "I will never leave you or forsake you". (Hebrews 13:5)

Study God's word. Ask Him to reveal Himself to you. As His word gets into your heart, faith will arise. Your mind will be renewed and faith will replace fear. It will take time, but the sooner you start, the sooner you will be free. Let nothing stop you. We will pray for you, but you need to do your part.

Hi Shoshie,

That's the best question/ desire I've heard.
I am confident that the Lord will answer it right now. I will provide a few brief videos that will give Bible sources. He wants you to know, so ask Him again and beg Him for understanding. Tell Him you do not want man's opinion, but instead want His. After listening to these closely with an open Bible, I will answer all your questions from His Word that might come up.
Just you write them down.

What Happens When We Sin AFTER Salvation?<

John 5:24 ESV

Friend, if you believe and know the Lord to be who He says He is, then just rest in His Words above. He says you have eternal life, no longer judgement, and have passed from death to life. Meditate and rest in those words. Christians are not immune from hard times so no worries in that area, it almost expected of true Christians.

I will certainly pray for God to remove this anxiety and provide you with blessed assured hope.

Hello Shoshie, living w/o assurance is a very difficult thing to be sure! This is one of the reasons that He wants us to "know" that we are saved and already possess eternal life .. e.g. John 5:24, and why He admonishes us to examine ourselves to be sure that we are truly in the faith .. e.g. 1 John 5:13; 2 Corinthians 13:5 (as others here have already mentioned).

You came to saving faith almost 50 years ago, so (if you don't mind me asking and if it's not too personal), what has shaken your assurance to such a great extent recently Is it a sin/sinful lifestyle choice that you've made (or something else that you can point to), or is it something more like thoughts or feelings that you've been having here of late (the latter is often the point of attack by our common enemy).

I have more to say about this (having been through it myself), but I'll wait to hear from you before I continue.

Thanks

Praying for you!

God bless you!!

Hello @Shoshie, I'm not sure how post #10 happened I was replying to you on two different computers in two different places, so perhaps that was it? Sorry about that (whatever the reason was)!

Hebrews 11:1
"11 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see"

There have been things said that were horribly wrong but repented of and forsaken but so bad

Let me say, I uttered words out of my mouth no one should ever say. I make no excuses but the enemy camexat me hard. I repented and truly believe the Lord forgave me. I've struggled with much over the past 6-12 months with both parents dieing and the guilt associated when I feel Ibfailed at caregiving at different times. Iwas angry at me and at
God. I began a Griefshare group and am seeing a Christian counselor. Ive repented and the Lord has given me many Scriptures re: His never leaving or forsaking me but because my feelings dont line up or I don't feel a certain way when Ivrepent I fear all the time Hexwill leave me!!! I have little peace. My mind stays in confusion. He spoke to me just yesterday, He who comes unto me I will in no wise cast out. But the torment goes on. It really scares me at times. Maybe this explains it some.
