Not asking GOD for forgiveness during prayers or when you mistakenly commit sin.
 There are sins we commit that are not deliberate. We must always ask our FATHER to pardon us for such sins, HE will pardon us.
HE is pleased with our humility. HE will forgive you and cleanse you.

Always remember to praise & show HIM great appreciations for prayers answered. This pleases HIM too, alot! I normally say "FATHER, I love you with all my heart. Thank you so much for all you have done for me"

OpenYourEyes1:
Why not fast more, pray, pray about it before sleeping, read/listen to the Words of GOD more, eat moderately, eat healthy, try hard to avoid things that cause you lust around you, serve GOD more and more.

OpenYourEyes1:
Assuming you visit a certain place or find an interesting website/article, you click on it and accidentally see image of seductively dress lady/man, and that quickly begins to remind you of past lust-filled life, you mistakenly begin to have all sort of sinful imagination about the seductively dressed lady/man. If you rebuke the imagination quickly and ask GOD for forgiveness because you have sinned, HE will forgive you, HE knows what happened to you was unintentionally and you were very willing to resist it. That is an example of GOD's grace on a born-again believer.

Some would abuse the grace by going ahead with the sin by masturbating, or going after the seductively dress lady/man, or search for someone else to commit adultery or fornication with. Such people are abusing GOD's grace by intentionally sinning.

OpenYourEyes1:
If you imagine part of the body/thing (esp the sexual parts) and they arouse you or make you want to do it and you start doing it (with no resistance), especially if you are aware that what you are doing is bad(intentional) you have fornicated or committed adultery. This happens often in the minds of many people. You don't have to do it physically to break the commandments against fornication and adultery.

OpenYourEyes1:
Hebrews 10:26:27(NIV)
"If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of God." —


Hebrews 10:26-27 (KJV)
"For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries."

OpenYourEyes1:
If you claim to be born-again and keep sinning intentionally hoping to ask for forgiveness later, do you think HE will be pleased? Ofcourse not. That is misuse of GOD's grace and mercy in your life. Once you have identified what displeases GOD, you stop doing them. If HE sees that you are serious about stopping them, HE will help you stop them and wash you clean. 
For the unintentional sin, always ask for forgiveness whenever you pray or once you understand it is sin and displeases GOD. Don't Intentionally go back to the sin after being aware it's sin

OpenYourEyes1:
What does it mean to believe in JESUS & be saved?

Simple answer:

Believe in HIM and HE will save you from sin (also from the power of satan). If you truely believe in your heart that HE alone can save you, HE will save you and HE will come and dwell in you, lead, teach, guide you to live a holy and righteous life — that is bearing fruits.

What happens when you stop believing? You fall back to sin. The wages of sin is death

— The Glory of The New Covenant

"The old way, with laws etched in stone, led to death, though it began with such glory that the people of Israel could not bear to look at Moses’ face. For his face shone with the glory of God, even though the brightness was already fading away. Shouldn’t we expect far greater glory under the new way, now that the Holy Spirit is giving life? If the old way, which brings condemnation, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new way, which makes us right with God! In fact, that first glory was not glorious at all compared with the overwhelming glory of the new way. So if the old way, which has been replaced, was glorious, how much more glorious is the new, which remains forever!
Since this new way gives us such confidence, we can be very bold. We are not like Moses, who put a veil over his face so the people of Israel would not see the glory, even though it was destined to fade away. But the people’s minds were hardened, and to this day whenever the old covenant is being read, the same veil covers their minds so they cannot understand the truth. And this veil can be removed only by believing in Christ. Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings, their hearts are covered with that veil, and they do not understand.
But whenever someone turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. For the Lord is the Spirit, and wherever the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of the Lord. And the Lord—who is the Spirit—makes us more and more like him as we are changed into his glorious image." — 2 Corinthians 3:7-18

Below is my response to this topic https://www.nairaland.com/5676118/top-10-bible-contradictions#86483461

"Those so called contradictions are some of the reasons I was an atheist. I was blown away when I discover the truth. I believe things like that are part of the reasons many are still blind.
HOLY SPIRIT is the answer my friends. GOD is WONDERFUL!"

-————————————————————————————-

This ^ is the truth. Don't be decieved satan. Keep repeating the word of GOD, GOD will reveal the truth especially if you are born again.

OpenYourEyes1:
Believing in JESUS also means believing in his teachings and "obeying" his Commandment.

I hope you know HIS commandments?

GOD's Commandments:
Love GOD and love your neighbor as you love yourself

OpenYourEyes1:
All evil AI, replicators, demons, devices will fail you.
I know satan controls both the parties(blue & red) , to use them differently for his plans/agenda. If this doesn't work out well for his agenda or if he is exposed (esp by the Children of GOD), you switch to another party to prove them wrong or try another party/agenda/plan. Let me inform you(satan & others) clearly that this other of your plan(the current leader of babylon) is in GOD's endtime prophesies in the Holy scripture. He is the one that will continue. You can't change it.

OpenYourEyes3:
It mostly due to your worldliness and satan is taking the words away through brainwashing/mind-control/witchcraft. He knows the word of GOD is powerful. He knows what the Word can turn you into (against him).
Leave the worldliness. Be holy. Be sure that what people teach you agrees with the word of GOD, if they don't, throw them away and avoid those who teach them.

Wonderful audio!

OpenYourEyes1:
Link to the Audio Bible can be found here (Genesis — Revelation): https://www.nairaland.com/5457390/audio-bible-genesis-revelation

You should listen to one Audio Bible multi times a day.
What I usually do before Listening:
I drink lots of warm water, eat fruit/vegs, start Fasting, rest myself a bit, put on my earpiece, then go to a quite place and listen. I keep repeating the audio after listening to the whole.

Believe while listening. Never allow doubts to keep you blind while listening. Then watch what will keep happening to you as you believe & grow.

OpenYourEyes1:
You could easily be bewitched if you are not careful.
A witch could be monitoring you constantly in whatever way possible, like with technology, through internet, spying on your physical location etc. He/she could be doing this in order to understand you, create isolated problems you can see to make their future lies more believable by you, use the information they have about you against you, take advantage of the information they aquire about you to brainwash you with repetitive lies, (or repeating lies mixed with truth)...

Talking about Repetitive Lies, witch could use that against you to make you start believing the lies, control your mind (mind control)etc. They gradually keep feeding you with lies and brainwash you... Before you realize it, you are already "acting" the information/lies they brainwash you with. This is one of the ways they currently control/manipulate the world and many people.

Be mindful of where you pick your information from. Be careful relying on worldly people/non-believers for information. Always make sure:
- the sources of the information are actually doing what pleases GOD,
- they are sent by GOD
- they are GOD's true servants, teachers, prophets, etc
- they are prophets/teachers that don't teach/prophecy things contrary to the Word of GOD, or things contrary to what JESUS/apostles/prophets taught, etc

If you notice, their prophesies, teachings, lies, their contradictory way of life, etc are being exposed today because people are being freed from their bondage... GOD is using HIS servants to open the eye of people, and HIS servants constantly war against the evil spirits that control this people and the evil spirits that keep people in bondage.

Mind where you are learning things from!

OpenYourEyes1:
Avoid "staring" at evil. Focus the single eye on Godly things. Keep it single!

"And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out and cast it from you. It is better for you to enter into life with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire." —Matthew 18:9

OpenYourEyes1:
Once you're repented, avoid those worldly things that kept you in bondage, focus on things that pleases GOD like reading/listening to your Bible always, believe in JESUS, living holy life (holy life is fun believe me), pray always, trust in GOD and watch yourself grow spiritually.

When you start living this life, alot of strange things will begin to happen in your life, like visions, flashes in your mind, supernatural movement of your hands/body, GOD speaking clearly to you. It's most likely GOD doing this (that is, if you are indeed holy)

OpenYourEyes1:
Stop Feeding yourself with lies, evil, false and worldly information or so called knowledge. It will kill you spiritually. Remember what happened in the garden? Adam and Eve died after "eating" from the bad tree. The tree of bad knowledge/information killed Adam and Eve spiritually.
Feed from the Tree of Life (the word of GOD) alone!

The more you feed yourself with The Word Of GOD, the more you Grow.

Very deep, and also important for those who think they won't lose their salvation if they stop believing and start sinning.

Luke 8:4-15 (notice the bolded too?) ⏬

*And when a great multitude had gathered, and they had come to Him from every city, He spoke by a parable:

"A sower went out to sow his seed. And as he sowed, some fell by the wayside; and it was trampled down, and the birds of the air devoured it. Some fell on rock; and as soon as it sprang up, it withered away because it lacked moisture. And some fell among thorns, and the thorns sprang up with it and choked it.But others fell on good ground, sprang up, and yielded a crop a hundredfold.” When He had said these things He cried, “He who has ears to hear, let him hear!” Then His disciples asked Him, saying, “What does this parable mean?”And He said, “To you it has been given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God, but to the rest it is given in parables, that ‘Seeing they may not see, And hearing they may not understand.’“Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of GOD. Those by the wayside are the ones who hear; then the devil comes and takes away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved. But the ones on the rock are those who, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, who believe for a while and in time of temptation fall away. Now the ones that fell among thorns are those who, when they have heard, go out and are choked with cares, riches, and pleasures of life, and bring no fruit to maturity. But the ones that fell on the good ground are those who, having heard the word with a noble and good heart, keep it and bear fruit with patience.

If GOD's spirit really dwells in you, you will be doing good all the time because the SPIRIT drives you to do good, if you are not resisting...this is GOD's righteousness. A true Christian can't always be committing sin when GOD is in him/her, because GOD's righteousness makes him not to commit sin.

If you are not living a holy life as a Christian, you are decieving yourself.

A car driven by a "PERFECT DRIVER" won't be disobeying traffic rules, driving recklessly, having constant accidents etc. The car will drive perfectly because it is driven by a PERFECT DRIVER.

Repent, Accept JESUS CHRIST as your LORD and SAVIOR... HE will cleanse you of your sins, dwell in you and drive you perfectly!
How do you recognize cars driven by JESUS CHRIST? They will move perfectly on the way.
By their fruits you shall know them.

"Behold, the day of the LORD is coming, And your spoil will be divided in your midst. For I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; The city shall be taken, The houses rifled, And the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, But the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city. Then the LORD will go forth And fight against those nations, As He fights in the day of battle. And in that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, Which faces Jerusalem on the east. And the Mount of Olives shall be split in two, From east to west, Making a very large valley; Half of the mountain shall move toward the north And half of it toward the south. Then you shall flee through My mountain valley, For the mountain valley shall reach to Azal. Yes, you shall flee As you fled from the earthquake In the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Thus the LORD my God will come, And all the saints with You. It shall come to pass in that day That there will be no light; The lights will diminish. It shall be one day Which is known to the LORD— Neither day nor night. But at evening time it shall happen That it will be light. And in that day it shall be That living waters shall flow from Jerusalem, Half of them toward the eastern sea And half of them toward the western sea; In both summer and winter it shall occur. And the LORD shall be King over all the earth. In that day it shall be— “The LORD is one,” And His name one. All the land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be raised up and inhabited in her place from Benjamin’s Gate to the place of the First Gate and the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s winepresses. The people shall dwell in it; And no longer shall there be utter destruction, But Jerusalem shall be safely inhabited.
And this shall be the plague with which the LORD will strike all the people who fought against Jerusalem: Their flesh shall dissolve while they stand on their feet, Their eyes shall dissolve in their sockets, And their tongues shall dissolve in their mouths. It shall come to pass in that day That a great panic from the LORD will be among them. Everyone will seize the hand of his neighbor, And raise his hand against his neighbor’s hand; Judah also will fight at Jerusalem. And the wealth of all the surrounding nations Shall be gathered together: Gold, silver, and apparel in great abundance. Such also shall be the plague On the horse and the mule, On the camel and the donkey, And on all the cattle that will be in those camps. So shall this plague be. 
And it shall come to pass that everyone who is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. And it shall be that whichever of the families of the earth do not come up to Jerusalem to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, on them there will be no rain. If the family of Egypt will not come up and enter in, they shall have no rain; they shall receive the plague with which the LORD strikes the nations who do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. This shall be the punishment of Egypt and the punishment of all the nations that do not come up to keep the Feast of Tabernacles. In that day “ HOLINESS TO THE LORD ” shall be engraved on the bells of the horses. The pots in the LORD’s house shall be like the bowls before the altar. Yes, every pot in Jerusalem and Judah shall be holiness to the LORD of hosts. Everyone who sacrifices shall come and take them and cook in them. In that day there shall no longer be a Canaanite in the house of the LORD of hosts." — Zechariah 14:1-21

I don't think it is a good idea to mix with the world. You will be too vulnerable to sin with them. One of the main reasons some of us mix with the world is to find and convert the lost sheep to the Body of CHRIST, (the Church). I believe the "strong or grown believers" should be the ones mixing with the world for the sake of the lost sheep who are in the world and under the power of satan.
We could sometimes mix when we need to help the world or buy something from them.
