I Made A Mistake.

[NR90]

A few months ago I became angry, hateful and depressed. I was having problems with my Faith. And one of my friends told me to ask God for help. And my response was stupid and it was wrong of me to say. What I said was "God can't help me, only Satan can. I don't want God, I want the Devil" but I didn't mean it. I guess I was trying to get attention. But this grows heavy on my heart. I don't want to be apart of anything the Devil does. I don't want him. I want God, I want Jesus Christ. I want to stand for whats good, and for whats right.

I'm afraid I wont be forgiven for this.

You can be forgiven. But be wary that you may have opened a door to the devil in your life. If you start to hear voices or have urges to do things test it all against scripture for we know that is the word of God.

I'm sorry but I don't quite understand all of that. What do you mean hear voices?

Some people claim to hear from God. They say God told me to do such and such. But if that person has been dabbling with Satan and are not completely immersed in God's word then its probably not God speaking but Satan.

I just mean be careful.

If I hear voices telling me to murder, steal, seduce this women, or any other kind of sin then I know for a fact its Satan trying to trick me into leaving God. Because God himself wouldnt go against what he stands for.

I am thanking God for your change of heart. But, even though you say now that you didn't mean what you said to your friend it would be good to explain that to the friend and ask him/her for forgiveness.

Negative words which glorify the devil can have a destructive effect on others and also ultimately on ourselves. And even though we repent we are still accountable to sincerely confess this to God and also (if at all possible) go to the person who could have been offended or hurt by our remarks and tell them we are sorry. It is a loving thing to do and God will give us the grace, mercy, and strength to do it. Regardless of their response to us..this can set us free and bring peace to our soul.

God's peace to you..

I have prayed for forgiveness over this multiple times and I wish I can get ahold of this friend so I could tell her im sorry. I believe I became hateful because she broke off the dating. I know I would never say this again. I think it was the envy I had that lead me to be hateful. Sound about right?

Then, believing that God has forgiven you but remembering to ask forgiveness of the other if in time you get the chance to do so; it will help you not to dwell on what other sins were part of it, like envy, etc. and as the Apostle Paul says:

"But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus." (Phillipians 3:12-14) (NIV)
