Preach To Me Plsssss! Can Anyone Actually Enter This Heaven Place by Nobody: 11:54am On Jun 16, 2012
There are times when I am in the grace zone when I'm as holy as I can be but those times are so painful because I am Hot, depressed and I beat myself up over any sin I commit. But I sha stay holy but then. . . . . Something happens and in a moment of madness I throw it all away in a porn and masturbation binge( once every 3months on average) . Im so tense and sexually repressed and in need of social interaction with women but im a bit poor at conversation and tense. I want a wife so sex ceases to be an issue in my life. I know i will die of guilt if i ever fornicate but sex is not the only issue here. I love God and hav seen his work in my life time and again but life is so boring and difficult and maintaining purity is so hard. I can't help but look at a woman and think of fukin her. I then feel guilty immediately. What I'm saying is when I'm holy I'm always on edge and scared of sinning. Is there any hope for man cos our hearts are truly wicked. I haven't yet fornicated though , just in my heart. Pls strong people in the Lord tell me how one can be sure of entering heaven. God2man, OLAADEGBU, Olaoye George, Goshen360, frosbel ,maybe buzugee,e.t.c . Pls tell me why u are sure of entering heaven and how I can be too cos I'm born again but it's impossible not to sin from time to time. . . cry

lol @ maybe

ok you are trying to enter heaven by your works. thats the problem. you have to get yourself to a point where you actually enjoy reading the bible. if you dont get to that point you will always be bored and rebelling against the word. once you get to that point, its fun. one thing i find is helpful is that the more you can break the bible down and relate it to real life events ? the more addicted you become.

2-once you get to the level of understanding and addiction that breaks down your boredom, you will realize that heaven and hell, as taught in church is not the heaven and hell that is in the bible. but you need to have mastered the bible and put line upon line precept upon precept here a little there a little before you get to this understanding. YOU WILL MAKE IT TO HEAVEN AS AN ISRAELITE ( ROMANS 11 VS 26 )the question is how smooth or how dangerous will your life be in the interim between now and when the kingdom of heaven is established on earth. how smooth or how dangerous your life is will totally depend on you. if you obey the commandments and love your neighbor as yourself and study to show yourself approved by God, you will have an easy and smooth interim period. if you dont ? your interim period will be perilous maybe even tragic.

3-sin is transgression of the law. so anything that is not part of the law is no sin. scripture says where there is no law there is no transgression. as such you can masturbate to relieve yourself sexually if you are unmarried. masturbation is no sin. however adultery and fornication are strong sins.

The above assertion shows that you dont really know much about Jesus and the work of the Holy spirit. I would advice you to start attending a living church where the word of God is taught in truth and in spirit then only would you learn more about God, i'll recommend churches like Pastor chris's church (Cant remember the name now) dunamis ministery or mountain of fire ministery.

in as much as i would like to advice you on this matter i wont advice you to go to any of d church mentioned above, i would suggest you go to deeper life, C A C, Chosen..... I bet you all your problems as concerns spiristuality will be solved easy and you will start living a new life. OP, it is true that the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak but all this simple with the help of the HOLY SPIRIT and that you will get with gathering with real children of God. God bless you.

just in case you are willing to accept some non-christian solution to your problem, here it it:

imagine a doctor that tells you that you have to buy his cure for a disease that is ravaging everybody and you are willing to buy this drug thinking it will solve all your problem, but shortly after payment you discover that it was the same doctor who had earlier distributed the disease. how would you feel if you can prevent the disease when next the doctor trying to get everyone infected with this disease.
well here is the meaning of my parable,
the doctor = christianity
the disease = guilt
drug = salvation (from a make-believe hell that they convince you that you deserve to go)
the drug price = surrender of your mind to religious control
disease spread = indoctrinating beliefs from childhood
disease prevention = rational thinking and rejection of religious dogma



the simple truth is that sexuality is a sign of a healthy humanity. you should be worried if you have no libido. dont accept any guilt feelings from any religion. they just need you to be guilty so as to make you need their salvation. christians are the worst hypocrites i know. most of unmarried christians mast.urbate secretly and try to impress their God by other sacrifices that are meant to remove their guilt and they will condemn you for doing the same thing that they indulge in secretly

i dont support promiscous living that can damage your health and self-esteem. but free your mind from the religious shackles and the lies of these hypocrites

the rational solution is to get a girlfriend and remain faithful to her as you would want her to be to you. when you are ready, marry her and enjoy your full sexuality. you have only one chance as a human being. dont mortgage it for the promise of a non-existent second life by destroying your mind with unneccessary guilt.

i hope my little contribution will prove helpful

peace

Kindly read this small article below, it will help you a great deal !!!



What should we do when temptation comes to us? There are times that we do not feel that we can resist.

We Can Overcome

However the Scripture says that we will not be placed in a situation that we are not able to handle.

No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it (1 Corinthians 10:13).

We are not tempted beyond what we can bear. God promises there will always be a way of escape. There are various ways in which we can escape temptation to sin.

1.Do Not Put Ourselves In A Tempting Situation

Sometimes the answer to resisting temptation is as simple as not getting ourselves in the situation. If we know we have a certain weakness with a particular sin, then it is important that we avoid situations where we could be tempted with that sin.

2.Run

If we do find ourselves in a situation where we are being tempted the correct response is to leave. The Bible says:

Shun youthful passions and pursue righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call on the Lord from a pure heart (2 Timothy 2:22).

3.Be Filled With Spirit

Being filled or controlled by the Holy Spirit is a good way to deal with temptation.

And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18 ).

4.Know The Scripture

When Jesus was tempted by the devil He responded by quoting Scripture. Three times Jesus said, It is written. This is a good example for how we should deal with temptation when it comes our way. The Bible says:

How can young people keep their way pure? By guarding it according to your word. I treasure your word in my heart, so that I may not sin against you (Psalm 119:9,11).

5 Ask The Lord For Help

Prayer is another part of overcoming temptation. We should ask the Lord for help.

Let us therefore draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and may find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16).

6.Realize Christ Has Overcome

Believers need to realize that Jesus Christ has overcome all temptation.

You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than He who is in the world (1 John 4:4).

He understands. Not only has Christ overcome temptations He also understands what we are going through.

Therefore, in all things, He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted. He is able to aid those who are tempted[b] (Hebrews 2:17,18 ). [/b]

7.Starve The Old Nature

One of the practical things we can do to escape temptation is to starve the old nature.

Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices (Colossians 3:5-9).

8. Feed The New Nature

If we feed our new nature then that will help us overcome temptation. We need to be occupied with the things of Christ to help overcome temptation.

And have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (Colossians 3:10-14).

9.Understand Deliverance Is Not A Once For All Experience

If a person does not yield to a certain temptation, this does not mean they will never be tempted again or that the next time they will be strong. Temptation is something that continually happens to us and consequently we must continue to trust in God.

The temptations of Jesus by the devil continued throughout His ministry. After the forty day temptation was over the Bible says:

When the devil had finished every test, he departed from him until an opportune time (Luke 4:13).

Summary

As long as Christians are in this world they will be tempted to sin. Consequently it is important that we know how to resist the temptation. The Bible provides the solution to our temptations, it is our responsibility to put these solutions into practice.

jacobscros: If sex outside of marriage is not a sin how come only those that practice it get diseases?

you can only get disease if u have unprotected se.x with an infected person, whether outside or inside marriage.

if you think disease is a punishment for sin how about so many innocent christian people and even babies who catch one disease or the other and died despite their prayers for healing.

protect yourself and get a faithful partner.

Here there is no Greek or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all. Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. (Colossians 3:10-14).

9.Understand Deliverance Is Not A Once For All Experience

If a person does not yield to a certain temptation, this does not mean they will never be tempted again or that the next time they will be strong. Temptation is something that continually happens to us and consequently we must continue to trust in God.

The temptations of Jesus by the devil continued throughout His ministry. After the forty day temptation was over the Bible says:

When the devil had finished every test, he departed from him until an opportune time (Luke 4:13).

Summary

As long as Christians are in this world they will be tempted to sin. Consequently it is important that we know how to resist the temptation. The Bible provides the solution to our temptations, it is our responsibility to put these solutions into practice.

But I sha stay holy but then. . . . . Something happens and in a moment of madness I throw it all away in a indecency and self-service binge( once every 3months on average) . Im so tense and sexually repressed and in need of social interaction with women but im a bit poor at conversation and tense. I want a wife so sex ceases to be an issue in my life. I know i will die of guilt if i ever fornicate but sex is not the only issue here. I love God and hav seen his work in my life time and again but life is so boring and difficult and maintaining purity is so hard. I can't help but look at a woman and think of fukin her. I then feel guilty immediately. What I'm saying is when I'm holy I'm always on edge and scared of sinning. Is there any hope for man cos our hearts are truly wicked. I haven't yet fornicated though , just in my heart. Pls strong people in the Lord tell me how one can be sure of entering heaven. God2man, OLAADEGBU, Olaoye George, Goshen360, frosbel ,maybe buzugee,e.t.c . Pls tell me why u are sure of entering heaven and how I can be too cos I'm born again but it's impossible not to sin from time to time. . .

@jacobcross, i think the first question you should ask yourself is, who am i? Another question, why am i here? You see, if you don't have a purpose, goal, vision of what God had assigned for you before you were born, you will just be moving with a vagabond annointing, confused,frustrated and dejected. Discovery always leads to recovery. Ask yourself, what are those things that give you joy? What is your passion?

John 1:19-23 "And this is the record of John, when the Jews sent priests and levites from Jerusalem to ask him, Who art thou?
And he confessed, and denied not; but confessed, I am not the Christ.
And they asked him, What then? Art thou Elias? And he saith, I am not, Art thou prophet? And he answered, No.
Then said they unto him, who art thou? that we may give an answer to them that sent us. What sayest thou of thyself?
He said, I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness, make straight the way of the Lord, as said the prophet Esaias.

This is a divine assignment for John the baptist. This is what has been written in the heavenly book concerning John.

It is a disaster to come to this world aimlessly, like some people are doing on nairaland, without a purpose, just wondering from thread to thread without having something good to encourage people or to lift them up.

When you discover your destiny, you will always have something to push you forward and be on fire for the Lord.

Listen to a man of destiny, a man of purpose, a man that can never look back, a man that is running the heavenly race. 1 corinthian 9:16-17 " For though i preach the gospel, i have nothing to glory of: for necessity is laid upon me: yea, woe is unto me, if i preach not the gospel!
For if i do this thing willingly, i have a reward: but if against my will, a dispensation of the gospel is committed unto me."

What is destiny? Your destiny is God's purpose for your life. It is the reason why you are here on earth. It is the reason why you exist. God has presented you as a gift to the world. You have no right to die without fulfilling your destiny, if you die without fulfilling what God had in mind before he created you, you may end up in hell. Why? Those people that are suppose to be saved or blessed as a result of what God has planted inside you are wondering aimlessly in life. God will ask you, you are suppose to do this, why didn't you do it?

It is a serious matter. How do you discover your destiny? I won't promise you an easy journey, you have to work hard on yourself, there are so many things you will do, frosbel,image123, have said a lot, it is more than that, you need to find God, one single encounter with your manufacturer or creator is more than gathering the whole of the men of God from all over the world to come and minister to you alone. Once you are able to find God's purpose for your life, you will run tirelessly, you will prefer to die than to fail God.

As for the church to attend, pray to God to lead you to the right church, you need to fellowship with the children of God and also join the workers in your local church.

As you continue to pray for discovery, you will begin to see strange dream, share them with us here. It is a journey.

Meditate on these scriptures;

Hebrew 12:1-8 " Wherefore seeing we also compassed about with so great a cloud of witness,let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself,lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. Ye have not yet resisted unto blood striving against sin. And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, not faint when thou art rebuked of him: For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth everyson whom he receiveth. If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are partakers, then are ye bastards, and not sons"

The Lord will see you through.
God bless you.
God2man.

In the cristian concept, it is impossible not to sin. To commit sin in thought. Therefore, the heavens will be empty forever, and hell as a bus packed at rush hour.
Buzugee I think is a kind of sense of humor, and the devil will reserve beautiful she-devils and good alcohol. Goshen360 is a good person ... he will not have problems.
Olaadegbu also a good guy, but Satan will condemn him to celibacy and teetotaler for all eternity (imagine seeing those wonderful holiday and unable to participate).
You have to be convinced. The sky is empty.
Having sex with a beautiful woman is a sin to look at a beautiful woman is a sin, think of a beautiful woman is a sin to dream of a beautiful woman is sin, and bedwetting ... is a sin ...
All go to hell. Let us friends of the devil, and ask everyone to be considerate of us.
Amen!

how exactly is he supposed to know what God has assigned for him before he was born? Did an angel appear to his mother to tell her the destiny of her child?

God2man:

Listen to a man of destiny, a man of purpose, a man that can never look back, a man that is running the heavenly race. 1 corinthian 9:16-17 "

the same paul that was murdering christians and thinking he was doing it for God? According to the bible, He didnt 'discover' his destiny, he was called by christ and was given a mandate to preach the gospel.


God2man:
What is destiny? Your destiny is God's purpose for your life. It is the reason why you are here on earth. It is the reason why you exist. God has presented you as a gift to the world.

So, the children and young adults whose lives end unexpectedly may end up in hell because they didnt fulfil their destiny of saving and blessing lives?

God2man:
Why? Those people that are suppose to be saved or blessed as a result of what God has planted inside you are wondering aimlessly in life. God will ask you, you are suppose to do this, why didn't you do it?

absolute nonsense.

yeah right, strange dreams indeed.

cyrexx:
imagine a doctor that tells you that you have to buy his cure for a disease that is ravaging everybody and you are willing to buy this drug thinking it will solve all your problem, but shortly after payment you discover that it was the same doctor who had earlier distributed the disease. how would you feel if you can prevent the disease when next the doctor trying to get everyone infected with this disease.
well here is the meaning of my parable,
the doctor = christianity
the disease = guilt
the drug = salvation (from a make-believe hell that they convince you that you deserve to go)
the drug price = surrender of your mind to religious control
disease spread = indoctrinating beliefs from childhood
disease prevention = rational thinking and rejection of religious dogma




the simple truth is that sexuality is a sign of a healthy humanity. you should be worried if you have no libido. dont accept any guilt feelings from any religion. they just need you to be guilty so as to make you need their salvation.oerwhemingly majority of christians are the worst hypocrites i know. most of unmarried christians mast.urbate secretly and try to impress their God by other sacrifices that are meant to remove their guilt and they will condemn you for doing the same thing that they indulge in secretly

i dont support promiscous living that can damage your health and self-esteem. but free your mind from the religious shackles and the lies of these hypocrites

the rational solution is to get a girlfriend and remain faithful to her as you would want her to be to you. when you are ready, marry her and enjoy your full sexuality. you have only one chance to exist as a human being. dont mortgage it for the promise of a non-existent second life by destroying your mind with unneccessary guilt.


all the best
