My Journey To Repentance by 24brains(m): 3:13pm On Oct 02, 2021
I have been drifted away from the holy spirit for years now. I don't go to church, hardly pray and barely hear from God (Bible study).

I have been a flirt all my life. A sex addict who sleeps with both married women, single mothers and ladies. The addiction was so intensed that There's hardly a week i don't furnicate.

But GOD in his infinit mercy pulled me out of the multitude and chastend me because he loves me. it all began two years ago while i was returning from a night club in company of my friends and female clubers. we were in a taxi and around 2am. a truck that lost its brakes ramed into our vehicle and that was it. i woke up in a hospital bed. alas! only three of us at the back seat survived. i was left with a fractured ankle and a severed artery. i battled it for two holy years because it refused to heal.

for the first time in my life, i cried out to GOD in pains. i began going to church seeking healing because medication failed me. i was prayed for by a man of God.

He asked me to repeat a prayer after him with my whole heart and i deed. He also gave me some bible scripture to study and pray with (Rom.10:13, Jer.33:3, 2Tim.1:7, psalm.91/23.) when i got home, i deed as i was told and slept. behold i woke up to see stains on my bedsheed. pus like discharge was draining from my leg profusely. the drainage lasted for 3days and the swolleness subside.

withing this period, i could not experiece any erection. weeks passed and ran into months. i suddenly lost appetite to furnicate. i could then pray and sing worship to GOD. i was saved just the way he saved Saw. truly, the lord chasteneth those he love .

so fastforward, the leg healed and that was how i got saved and i decided to follow jesus with all my being.

Lust addiction is a bad, bad drug... like heroin, and maybe worse.

A lot of people have it because lust is so prevalent in society these days... first there was TV, then filthly magazines, then pornographic videos, and then finally the internet, allowing such sin to move evermore quickly into every corner of the Earth.

And as a result, lust addiction ends up destroying many, many lives, even as it did my own... until the harsh consequences of sin "ground me to powder", as Jesus says. Indeed, I was a child of the devil for many years, before I finally became a child of God's.

May your trials lead you to permanent repentance, and that you sin no more, by keeping in your mind and heart that the Lord your God Loves you and gave you His Son on a Cross to ensure forgiveness to those who do what Jesus teaches in the Bible Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.

Psalm 118:18 (NKJV): The Lord has chastened me severely, But He has not given me over to death.

Proverbs 3:11-12 (NKJV):
11 My son, do not despise the chastening of the Lord, Nor detest His correction;
12 For whom the Lord loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights.

1 Corinthians 11:31-32 (NKJV):
31 For if we would judge ourselves, we would not be judged.
32 But when we are judged, we are chastened by the Lord, that we may not be condemned with the world.

Revelation 3:19 (NKJV), Jesus speaking:
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent.

I wish you well in the Lord !

Even while we where yet sinners he loved us.


This is a very big testimony and a call to those who feel they have gone astray too far away from God and the devil has made them feel they are not worthy, the devil has made them feel eating with pigs is their portion while the father's arms is wide open to receive them back and restore them to their position.


One of the greatest challenge for any believer who has had a walk with God and has gone astray is coming back to the father, the devil would have robbed you of the Godly mindset you once poses and feed you with lies. Breakaway and see the wonders of restoration in your life.

God would never tell you to start attending church since He never asked anyone to build Him one and He never asked anyone who belongs to Him to attend such. The Church that belongs to Jesus Christ is built by the hands of Jesus Christ - these churches you see are built of the hands of their business owners and pastors and this for the benefit of their personal kingdoms. undecided

For so long many have told that once you make a decision for God you need to fine a church home or something like that. Guess what? It was not God or Jesus Christ that said that but instead Mogs and their Pastors who came up with that lie to deceive people I go joining their team. undecided

You don't need anyman to Teach you of God. You don't need any man to tell you the Truth of God - The delusions of men are not necessary for you to continue to know God. You simply need to grow in your trust and obedience of God knowing that that God that saved you without the intervention of pastors and Mogs is still to continue to interact directly with you If you will let him do that. undecided

Approach God with your heart, mind, body and soul in love for him and love for your fellow man - this is submission and obedience of Him - and He will reward with the wisdom necessary to move your closer to Him. undecided

The only way a person can become holy is through continuous submission to and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ. That process takes time.. it took the Apostles approximately 4 years to become holy - Pentecost day. undecided

You start by learning the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ and putting each one of them to practice, moment after moment, continously, trusting that even when it does not make sense, God is True. undecided

We are not called to be like Daniel nor are we called to doing this like any of the Old Covenant people of Israel. Instead, we are called to become like Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in the Kingdom of God. So the experience you are looking for is that defined by Jesus Christ in His teachings. undecided

Beware of Kobojunkie, 24brains.

He will tell you some true stuff to set you up, and then try to sneak in his father's (the devil's) lies amidst it to draw you away.

Be forwarned, Kobojunkie is the son of a devil (until he himself repents).

Jesus Christ is NOT the Law.
Jesus obeyed God's Law (the Two Most Important Commandments and the Ten Commandments).
Jesus teaches us to keep God's Law.
But Jesus is NOT the Law itself.

Kobojunkie (KJ) was drawn to your "sexual sin" commentary, presuming you are still weak, and will probably soon try to add to you a lot of burdens claiming it's from Jesus Christ, and in the past has misused Scripture to do so.

KJ even once said "Jesus says it's a sin to pray in front of anyone else !", when Jesus did not say that at all, but was pointing out that hypocrites like to pray in front of people. Jesus of course did not mean we can't pray with our families, etc. But KJ will always tell you things like "don't go to church"... church is optional if you can't find a decent one the keeps proper doctrine (like the Bible Sabbath), but it's no sin to go to church and fellowship with people... just be aware of what they teach, by learning the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) of Jesus Christ also. That way if you pick a "bad" church, you'll know it on your Spirit from the Holy Spirit pointing it out to you, by the Holy Spirit pointing to something Jesus said in those 4 Books.

I've even seen KJ size up a woman who was admitting to having a problem with lust. KJ said something to her that "seemed right" and it drew her in. But like the devil himself, KJ soon, in and amidst his "God talk", slyly suggested to her that there were pills for preventing lusts, to which, to her credit, she realized that he was being evil to suggest such a thing.

And so on. There are many, many instances of Kobojunkie out here being evil, and usually in a very sly way.

So be aware of Kobojunkie, 24brains, and simply read the Books of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in a real Bible yourself, like the New King James Version or the King James Version, NOT the misleading late-model version (ERV - Easy to Read Version) Kobojunkie uses.

The Lord Rebuke Kobojunkie until he repents !

And by the way, 24brains, Jesus knew Daniel was Righteous in the eyes of God.
In the Bible book of Daniel, an Angel from God practically says that Daniel will be going to Heaven at the end time Resurrection (Daniel 12:13).
Ezekiel also praises the integrity and wisdom of Daniel.
We should all be like Jesus, true... but that doesn't mean we shouldn't know that Daniel was awesome.

That's another thing about KJ... like the devil, he's somewhat patient.
I type this to try to prevent KJ from snaring another victim, although I think you'd see it soon enough when KJ tries to sneak in more subtle lies among the seemingly-sincere Jesus-talk he doesn't really mean.

Ok... you've been warned !

You are holding a wrong belief and if not careful, you will give room for the devil to act.

God don't hold consequences as you held so. Put that in your mind. If not you will have what you say and believe. If he has forgiven you he has. Whatever thing that happens afterwards is not God punishing you. It can be a result of life or effect of what you did. But remove God out of that. That is not how God show justice (looking at the person you quoted).

But if you read bible and see God that forgives and still punish you for your sins, then we all are doomed as no one can bear or stand the consequences of his or her action. No one can stand. This is the reason God's mercy is unconditional. He did it for you. Walk in it, trust him and dont go back to the way of the flesh.

I desire for you, that you are held by the power of God always.

Note that what he wrote up here is not true. Both from scriptural angle and human knowledge.


Observe very well that he told you that the Bible said no one should teach you but you should just read,

But he is doing exactly what he doesn't want others to do. He doesn't trust in his holy onlyspirit to teach you as he said, He is teaching you what to do as against what he said he believes (that no one should teach others). He has no single scriptural backing for this craftiness.

All he wrote there are teaching, believe systems, doctrine, his doctrine. But he hid behind the scriptures to explain what the scripture didn't teach. He is a teacher of his doctrine and teaches it in every opportunity, but claim others shouldn't teach.

He has a plan. Be smart enough to know this.

God said that in His New agreement, He alone will teach each one who belongs to Him of Himself - Jeremiah 31 vs 31 - 34. Jesus Christ repeated this message when in Matthew 23 vs 8 that in His Kingdom, He alone is Teacher to all those who belong to Him. John, the apostle, repeated this same message in His letter to those who believe, telling them to listen only to the one Teacher, Jesus Christ. So, you are best getting God as your Teacher and the only way to honor, the way to reach God is through submission (trust) and obedience(obey) of His commandments to us through Jesus Christ . undecided

Jesus Christ sent His disciples out into the world, to teach those in the world- sinners and unbelievers - of His New Covenant. He never sent them out to install themselves as Teacher over those who belong to Him. Because No one who belongs to Jesus Christ would think to usurp the place of Jesus Christ over those who belong to Him and no one who belongs to Jesus Christ would desire anything less than Truth from the mouth of God Himself. undecided

So in essence, anyone who still suckles from the mouth of men - GOs, Pope's, Pastors, Preachers, Mogs, Apostles etc., - does not belong to Jesus Christ who said by their fruits you shall know them. undecided

That's very true, 24brains.
After all my years in sin, including lust addiction, when I finally came to the Lord, He removed me out of all of it, because I was willing to Love Him and listen to Jesus.
To make a long story short, God ended up giving me an awesome, wonderful wife whom I never deserved.
And yes, I did tell her all about my past before we got married.
But since she herself saw my Walk with the Lord, she trusted me, and we're still going stronger than ever many years later.

This is not to say that the Lord can't rebuke us, which He does because He Loves us.
We should always remain convictable by the Holy Spirit by our Born-Again Spiritual attachment to God and Jesus, and to the Word of God.

But I do know what you mean... you're willing to accept any bad trials of life, knowing what you've done and that you deserve nothing more, even knowing God has forgiven you.
It's hard to ever feel too guilt-free about all the sins we've committed... but that's okay, because helps keep our pride down, helping us to cling to God more than "self".
Amen.
