Love yourself first and love your neighbor as yourself
I think the problem is loving yourself
Loving yourself has to do with alot of awareness
When you love yourself there are certain things you won't do
But alot of us run away from ourselves maybe because we think we're irredeemable
Which I believe is the work of the devil
Don't be scared to face yourself when you do you die
Not real death but death of who you think you were living in ego and sin... slowly you become aware and with hammer and chisel you take of the things that you're not... patience remember change doesn't happen overnight
..
It's just like going through fire
You have to have the mindset of iron
God is the greatest blacksmith
Trust him to mould you the right way and he will


Not saying I'm perfect
But I try to be better than who I was yesterday

Do God exist?

IamDora:
Do God exist?

Yes he does. His word he layed down are filled with prophecies and the prophecies he made of our time are turning fulfilled before our very eyes just as the former ones were also fulfilled. You need to understand who he is and know him and seek him before it becomes too late. The signs which the Bible prophesied concerning our generation are being played right before our very eyes. Signs in the world, signs in the church and the distress of both.

Here are a few commonly mentioned prophecies:

1. Increase in wars and conflicts:The Bible mentions that there will be an increase in wars and rumors of wars (Matthew 24:6-7). This prophecy is associated with the presence of ongoing conflicts and tensions in the world.

2. Natural disasters:The Bible also speaks of an increase in natural disasters such as earthquakes, famines, and pestilences (Luke 21:11) as a reference to the frequency and intensity of natural disasters in recent times.

3. Spread of the Gospel:According to the Bible, the Gospel will be preached to all nations before the end comes (Matthew 24:14). Advancements in technology and communication have facilitated the global spread of Christianity.

4. Increase in lawlessness and moral decline: The Bible predicts that in the last days, there will be a rise in lawlessness and a decline in moral values (2 Timothy 3:1-5)

The Message To God's Children About The End Of Age.

If you're a believer, you should have heard about the coming of the Lord at these end times. As you reflect on this truth, you should understand that the prophecy of the end is true and is infact already happening now. The Lord Jesus is coming and is already at the door to receive those who are prepared for him to himself.

The Bible has prophesied the signs of which we will see before his coming, signs of which are already happening in the world today but the blinded and backsliding believer can't seem to see. Jesus himself told us plainly about what would happen at the end before his arrival and thanks to God he said it plainly without parables or illustrations.

Observe Matthew Chapter 24:

"As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately. 'Tell us,' they said, 'when will this happen, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the end of the age?'

Jesus answered: 'Watch out that no one deceives you. For many will come in my name, claiming, "I am the Messiah," and will deceive many. You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in various places. All these are the beginning of birth pains.

Then you will be handed over to be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of me. At that time many will turn away from the faith and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appear and deceive many people. Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved. And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.

So when you see standing in the holy place "the abomination that causes desolation," spoken of through the prophet Daniel—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the housetop go down to take anything out of the house. Let no one in the field go back to get their cloak. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! Pray that your flight will not take place in winter or on the Sabbath. For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again.

If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. At that time if anyone says to you, "Look, here is the Messiah!" or, "There he is!" do not believe it. For false messiahs and false prophets will appear and perform great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. See, I have told you ahead of time.

So if anyone tells you, "There he is, out in the wilderness," do not go out; or, "Here he is, in the inner rooms," do not believe it. For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man. Wherever there is a carcass, there the vultures will gather.

Immediately after the distress of those days

"'the sun will be darkened,
    and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
    and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'

Then will appear the sign of the Son of Man in heaven. And then all the peoples of the earth will mourn when they see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other.

Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see all these things, you know that it is near, right at the door. Truly I tell you, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. As it was in the days of Noah, so it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. For in the days before the flood, people were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day Noah entered the ark; and they knew nothing about what would happen until the flood came and took them all away. That is how it will be at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be in the field; one will be taken and the other left. Two women will be grinding with a hand mill; one will be taken and the other left.

Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your Lord will come."

The three major signs the Lord talked about where

1. Signs in the world
2. Signs in the Church
3. Signs in the atmosphere

The first and second signs are already happening as wars are already going on between countries such as Ukraine, Russia and Israel. Also there are many false messiahs and prophets in today's church out to deceive many. The third will be instant and will be shortly followed by Jesus appearing in the air to take home the saints. If we are connected with him, we will meet him up in the air with the others when he comes.

The Careless Lives Of Believers Today

Very unfortunately, there are believers who are still ignorant of the signs playing right before their eyes today. Many believers confess sins everyday but still remain sinners and refuse to truly practice holiness. Some postpone their repentance, others refuse to restitute what was stolen, others are so lost in the activities and business of this world and sin has become very rampant today.

Jesus is weeping cause of this as he knows his coming is very near and most believers are sleeping in their sins forgetting that they don't belong to this world. They are only passing through it.

If we are true Christians, we won't fit in with the world because we will be very different from it. We won't be attending nightclubs, drinking and partying away our time, we won't be engaged in a sexual relationship with someone who isn't our husband or wife, we won't be preaching messages about peace, prosperity and blessings over repentance, holiness and truthfulness, we won't be caught gambling away our money or at the prostitutes' hotel, we won't wake up nor go to bed without praying to God, we won't be found with stolen items or forged certificates, we won't covet our neighbours car, house, husband or wife, we won't be found on body revealing dresses, we won't be taken by peer pressure or seek the validation of any ungodly company, we won't be found gossiping or sowing discord amongst people, we won't be doing the works or having the lust of the devil because we're true Christians called out of the world by God to serve Him.

We shouldn't put our hopes or trust in any pastor or spiritual leader as our salvation is personal. It is our actions, appearance and way of life that will determine our eternal destiny and putting our trusts in any spiritual leader is very risky. Remember what the Bible tells us.

"It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in humans." Psalm 118:8

"This is what the Lord says: 'Cursed is the one who trusts in man, who draws strength from mere flesh and whose heart turns away from the Lord.'" Jeremiah 17:5

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." Proverbs 3:5-6.

As Christians, we need to have a personal understanding of who Jesus is and a personal relationship with him as that is the only way we can be saved by him. Coming through someone else is a disaster waiting to be born.

The end is here and we can see it, we need to prepare ourselves everyday in order to make it with the others.
