Are You A Roman Catholic Doubting Whether You Are A Real Christian by ochibuogwu5: 5:10pm On Dec 30, 2019
Are you a Roman Catholic doubting whether you are a real Christian?

I am also a Roman Catholic and I listen to any person who teaches about Jesus Christ Crucified as the *only Lord and God* of all human beings as well as the whole creation via social media especially YouTube and even read books authored by *non; Catholic Christians* however I have never left Catholic Church to attend any physical gathering of believers that is not Catholic for the past 22-years.

For you to sense that God hears your prayers in the Catholic church but it's manifestations seems to be *unrealistic*, I want to assure you that God is *real* in the Romans Catholic Church and your heart longs for HIM. As a small boy, I lived a life of sexual-immoralities especially pornography and fornication from the age of 7-11 years(1997) that was when I wanted to receive the Holy Eucharist and I told Jesus based upon the name we call HIM during *our block rosary prayers and Holy Mass*; "the lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world" while we were playing football within that *Holy Communion preparatory class* thus "Jesus, you are the lamb of God who takes away the sin of the whole world, please take away this sin of fornication and pornography in my life"....
I did not even know that *prayer is in the bible*
From that day (March 1997) till date I have never kissed, caressed, romanced or had any sexual intimacy with any being (man, woman or spirit) till date. I know He(Jesus Christ Crucified; the Eucharistic Jesus) who started it will continue it till eternity (2 Timothy 1:12). This is the *quality of a true Christian*;.... "His name shall be called Jesus because He will deliver His brothers and sisters from their sin" (Matthew 1:21)

As a Roman Catholic doubting whether your faith in Jesus Christ is real or can it guarantee genuine salvation;
You need to re-examine what/who you think God is *truly*
You need to re-examine what you think Christianity is all about *truly*
What is *salvation in Christ Jesus* truly ?
What is prayer, answered prayers and manifestations of answered prayers ?
What is the place of trials, persecutions, temptations, miracles, favours, Grace e.t.c in the life of a Christian ?
What is the position of God's word in your life?

All these requires conscious personal deliberate study of God's word written in the whole holy bible especially the new-testament to receive complete revelation of *Jesus Christ Crucified* as well as fellowship with the Holy Spirit in prayers, praises and dialogue. "If you search for me with *your whole heart*, you will find me" (Jeremiah 29:13), "I reveal myself to those who love me and keep my commandments" (John 14:21)

Seek mercy to *receive grace*:
Come with boldness to the throne of God's grace; the Cross of Jesus Christ(inside your heart/mind now not just physical cross/crucifix; Hebrews 4:16) were He destroyed *our old-man/flesh* and replaced it with His own flesh so that we can serve God acceptably on this earth with full hope and glory of eternal life/Heaven, clarity of His purpose for us on this earth despite the trials, temptations, persecutions, miracles, Grace, favours e.t.c and His enduring assistance through His indwelling Holy Spirit who both wills and does His good pleasures through our mortal-bodies till our biological death or the archangel's trumpet (Phil.2:13, John 12:31-33, John 19:30)

It is with *grace from the Cross of Jesus Christ* that believers enter into *authentic faith-walk with God*; die with Jesus *100% on the Cross inside His Crucified flesh* in order to receive His new flesh inside our mortal-bodies whereby we can now understand *his will* and collaborate with His manifestations in our individual lives. Pray for grace *to use grace in serving God acceptably in this world no matter the persecutions or miracles surrounding you currently(Hebrews 12:28)* because every human being has received grace which enables us to receive salvation through the gospel, the same grace teaches us how to resist sin and worldly passions, the same grace teaches us how to live self-controlled, righteous and holy lives in this sinful world consistently till eternity (Titus 2:11-14).

Faith and prayer *does not make God to change His will for our lives* rather it helps us to discover them and *willingly submit to it* thus Our Mother Mary when she was told that she will get pregnant without sexual intimacy with any man(something which has never happened in the whole history of human existence), she questioned and accepted the explanation of the angel thus "I am the handmaid of the Lord, *be it done to me according to your word*" (Luke 1:38) and "the word took flesh in her womb..." (John 1:14)

When a person has died with Jesus on the Cross, the new life of Jesus Christ Crucified now living inside you prays (Romans 8:26, Phil.2:13, John 3:6) which is according to His will("when we pray according to His will, he answers us" 1 John 5:14) not just according to how we feel, think or imagine even the whims of our emotions. He answers them and brings them to manifestations at *His own time and method* (Gal.4:4) and you need to know that He loves you more than you love yourself, and He is working out something every tick of time for His own glory in your life and you will never *regret anything He is doing in your life* ("I am doing something in your life right now, when it manifests, it will surprise you" Habakkuk 1:5)

Just make sure that the decision you made to belong to Jesus Christ Crucified on the Cross of Calvary is *100% and forever* then collaborate with His Grace as you experience and express *His God-head reality* in your whole life and all that concerns you from now. (Luke 9:23, Luke 14:25-33, John 19:30)

In the Catholic Church, I am a member of Teaching ministry of the Catholic Charismatic Renewal. You can join CCRN in your parish and they will help you to build a solid faith in Christ Jesus Crucified and I am also a member of the Legion of Mary; you can also join your parish legionaries, they will also help you to grow your faith in Christ Jesus Crucified in relationship with the Spirit of Our Mother the Blessed Virgin Mary!!!

Great Grace Brethren!!!

Any gospel/pulpit that does not lead human beings to die with Jesus Christ on the Cross (death of the flesh) *first/fundamentally* will continue to produce increasing number of people who attend church activities and still engage in hidden/public ungodliness/hell-fire in this generation and any generation to come in this world. The solution is for the preacher to die with Jesus Christ on the Cross *first* then he/she can lead other human beings to *death of the flesh with the Crucified Jesus Christ*.
The Gospel of the Cross is *the only gospel of grace actually*.

Abbah My Father, thank You GOD for being GOD!!!

Thank You Jesus Christ Crucified; My GOD!!!

Sweet Holy Spirit; Thank You for Your Inexplicable Companionship throughout 2019 and the past years of my existence on this earth!!!

Abbah Father, we submit/surrender to your revelation of Jesus Christ Crucified to us as individuals in a deeper and clearer manner as you lead us into and through 2020 just as you gave *such revelation to Peter in Matthew 16:17 even to Paul in Acts 26:16-18* through the unlimited manifestations of Your Holy Spirit in Jesus Name. Amen.

Holy Spirit, fill us this day 31-12-2019 until your grace from the Crucified body of Jesus Christ lifts us to be Crucified together with our flesh inside the body of Jesus Crucified on the Cross of Calvary to bring about the *eternal termination of our flesh* and the *beginning* of Christ lifestyle daily crucified in our mortal-bodies which draws other human being to repentance and remission of their sins in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ Crucified, we surrender to your grace that flows from your death on the Cross to terminate *our old-self/flesh* and replace it with your own *new-flesh* within our mortal-bodies as well as *an individual appearance/revelation of your Crucified purpose upon each human being* with whom we have shared your gospel in 2019, previous years of our lives and those who you will lead us to encounter with your gospel and life through this 2020 such that *your direct revelation to them will sustain them till eternity just like Paul in Gal.1:11* not just our *limited information/knowledge to them* through the unlimited manifestations of your Holy Spirit. Amen.

Thank You Faithful GOD!!!
Great Grace Brethren!!!
Compliments of the Season!!!

Advise for Christian students leaving their parents for the campus:

Surrender *your flesh 100% and forever* to the grace of the Cross of Jesus Christ and be Crucified together with HIM. (John 19:30)

Die daily with Jesus Christ on the Cross (2 Corinthian 4:10-12) that is prayerfully remind yourself that you are *permanently dead with Jesus on the Cross* and now *Christ Jesus is the person studying, thinking, deciding, playing, eating, fasting, praying, writing, relating with people around you through your mortal body* thus "I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless i live; yet not i, but Christ lives in me: and the life which i now live in the *mortal-body*, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not *frustrate the grace of God*: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain" (Galatians 2:20-21)

Study God’s word with the intention to know more about Jesus Christ Crucified (John 5:39, Matthew 16:17)

Fellowship with the Holy Spirit in prayer, praises and dialogue/study every tick of time (John 14:16)

Do not try to impress God rather submit to His leading (James 4:7-8 )

Always seek mercy to receive grace because every time on this earth is a *time of need* (Hebrews 4:16) especially with campus *distractions*

Locate your Christian fellowship within your school and become active member with the intention of *discovering more about God’s grace in the crucified Jesus Christ and glory in your life* not to impress student pastors/girls/boys/lecturers in your fellowship.

Also locate your state/local government students within school and identify with them, they will help you with their experiences that will give you an edge instead of making their own mistakes however do not allow school politics to distract your studies unless you have the grace to combine both.

Stay in general school hostel because of security or else find accommodation very close to school which has security *consciousness* if your parents can afford it and you are convinced within you to stay outside the school hostel.

Draw a study time-table, paste it beside your bed, people will mock you for that but ask God for grace to assiduously follow it up, your test, examinations and academic results will never make you shameful as long as you study and good results builds personal confidence and psychological health as a student while bad academic results causes sadness and psychological sickness/stress for students

Associate with any person male or female in whose company you find *inner peace and purity* not people who will coerce you into *tempting environment and relationships* that will distract you.

Make a decision that you are going to school to study, develop yourself in any righteous skills not to *belong to bad-boys, cults/capon or sexual escapades/relationships, partying and clubbing, alcoholic-competitor/boss e.t.c*

Make a decision that God’s grace will pull the through with a *first class in your course* because you are going to impart your generation and it is possible for you because you carry the *Excellent Spirit of God* (John 14:16)

Trust God to protect you without you belonging to cults, bad-boys/girls, happening guys/babes in campus. If you truly fellowship with Jesus Christ Crucified, all those people carrying *fowl-spirit* cannot *intimidate or influence you* rather they will flee from you. Bear in mind they will approach you, try to intimidate but *as long as you stand your ground in Christ Jesus Crucified* they will flee from you. I am talking from experience of 5-years in the University.

You are not going to marry any girl/boy within your university days hence do not *enter into soul-ties/curses* under the disguise of *fun* which is *sexual-immoralities*. You will have more time to focus on your studies and develop your future as well as *spend less* in terms of finances and distractions. Marriage if its God's vocation for you will come after your graduation, when your life vision is clear, your financial strength has a clear base/definition and you have a definite clarity on the woman who will be able to compliment your purpose in Christ Jesus Crucified *not youthful infatuations and lust*.

Always attend your lectures and be prompt, discover what each lecturer focuses while teaching, check past questions from each lecturer then ask God for grace and wisdom to adequately attend to each lecturers methodology within God’s righteous standards.

Any lecturer that tries to intimidate you, humble yourself and say *I am sorry even when you did nothing wrong* however if he/she starts making unrighteous demands *submit him/her to the throne of God’s grace*; “the heart of a king is in the hand of GOD and like a flowing stream, He directs it to wherever it pleases him” (Proverbs 21:1) and "Those who know their God, shall stand their ground and do exploits" (Daniel 11:32)

Be appreciative of whatever your parents can afford, do not spend money wastefully, cultivate the habit of savings. If you have the grace, you can do *genuine networking business that have tangible products* or other students side-business that is *righteous* to support whatever your parents will be giving you even for life after school. Attend tutorials, seminars, workshops, retreats within your course, faith in Christ, righteous skills/talents e.t.c within your financial capacity, time-frame and disposition.

Once you school is on vacation/break/strike; return home to your parents. Go and help your parents at home who sponsor your education. Do not jump around school to avoid being lured into evil/crime. Do not jump from uncles house to aunties house in a bid to avoid the responsibilities of staying with your parents in the endeavors/business/profession which produces your school fess and up-keep allowance.

Great Grace Brethren!!!
