Hello...
I used to be a God-fearing Christian when I first started out ten years ago...
But I was alone, and didn't have anyone to guide me in my journey. Before long, I started to believe the devil's lies, and turned away from God to the world.
I finally gave up God for a guy three years ago, and even turned to astrology.
I ended up doing very wrong things under the influence of astrology and the enemy, like using God's Word to attack someone whom I was upset with, who had lied to me, and whom I felt betrayed by... I condemned her, and she ended up turning away from God. She used to be a Christian. I also randomly took what people wrote about God online and used those things to get back at a guy whom I believed used me as a spare tire. This is the same guy whom I left God for ><

I was unmerciful towards them, and God, who finally lost His patience, showed me the sins I had committed as well. He called me a Pharisee, and a wicked person.

Because I hurt His people with His Word taken out of context, and said things to them using God's name out of anger and self-effort to make them stop sinning, and did not convey God's words when He wanted me to, they ended up turning away from Him and rebelling against Him.

I then started falling sick, and I came across the bible verse saying that unless God curses, no man can curse. I was also led to say a curse-breaking prayer on behalf of the girl, by the Holy Spirit one time. It turned out that they turned to the occult after they turned away from God, and were attacking me.

In a bid to make them stop, I tried to make them return to God by writing messages to them. But I was also blind and bad in theology, and may have thus misled them down the path of destruction like God later showed me again. I came across the bible verse that said that because I misled them down the path of destruction, He will cause them to want to destroy me and my family. I then experienced many scary supernatural attacks.

This has been ongoing, and i think God has told me to make peace with them, but i found it hard to. i was either unsure cause my faith was shaky, or afraid ><

I then came across Jeremiah 8: 2-22. It seemed like because i did not do as God told me to, which is to make peace, He's angry, and might destroy my family.

I'm really afraid now.

Because of some things, I'm afraid of returning to God. And this is making it harder for me to go to God, cause I fear Him.

Is it possible for God to want to destroy my family, if i hurt His people, and did not make peace with them like He told me to?

I'd say that with Jesus, all things are possible as long as you're willing to be like the Prodigal Son and make your way back to the Lord. You've got quite the collection of various problems and sins, and you'll have to assess each one of them individually at the foot of the Cross and see how much of each one of them is either your fault or just emanate from the Devil's influence in the lives of you and all of the people you've mentioned.

So, don't give up hope. Just make today count and place your mind, soul and heart before the Christ.

Peace.

:heart: Zhen, trust God. His mercy and grace are plentiful, and your prayers can and will "cover" your family as well. "Stand-in" for them, just as we will stand-in for you and your family too, and your household. Praying, Zhen. (((hug)))

Lamentations 3 tells us that God does not afflict willingly. Ephesians 3 says that every family gets its name from the Father. He does not want to afflict your family.

Somewhere Paul says there is nothing good within him, save Christ Jesus. And Jesus himself says we can do nothing without Him.

The devil's strategy is to separate us from God. He knows God's mercy is endless, and His love is new every morning, so he tries to trap us in our own minds, with thinking that falls short of the limitless grace of God.

Put your past behind you (Php 3). Lay your current inability to obey aside. Come to Jesus in simple sincerity and place yourself in His hands. He will bear you up and strengthen you.

Examine your conscience and confess your sins. Repentance literally means to re-think. In the Bible, it means to turn your heart away from your sin, even if you haven't extricated yourself from the sin as yet. Take it one step at a time, and don't put the cart before the horse.

God's by His grace is able to bring you out of this mess, and onto higher ground (ps 40.1-5). Return to Him with all your heart and let Him. Get the vertical right, and He'll show you how to get the horizontal right.

The fear of God is not morbid, but clean. "Come let us reason together" - Is. 1. God "does not reproach" - James 1. God's "wisdom is peaceable" - James 3.

God is the author of salvation and He is sovereign in the act of both securing and making it come to pass. People may do things in attempts to obstruct the Holy Spirit's action to redeem sinners; but in the end "all that the Father gives me, will come to me and I will lose nothing but shall raise it (the entirety of what is atoned for) up on the last day." If your family members end up leaving this world as unbelievers; that is not something you had the direct power to cause. You are not capable of superseding God's authority to redeem someone.

Also, to now be afraid of God isn't necessarily a bad thing. Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. The "end" of wisdom is love; for perfect love casts out fear. Conviction of sin on account of an understanding of being deserving of God's wrath is "Godly sorrow that leads to repentance". It's the goodness of God that leads any of us to repentance; so if you're feeling: "Eeehhh..... God I really screwed up.... Umm.... help me." that's actually evidence that God hasn't forsaken you.

After having become a believer; I think I spent about 10 years being afraid that I wasn't really redeemed. So, I just kept praying that I would be and kept searching the Scriptures. I kept praying for help to deal with my past, the world around me and the people in my life. I wanted to be fair, wise and compassionate, as well as feeling secure in God's love. Not particularly lofty aspirations; because I struggled a lot simply to survive. God is faithful though. He's taken care of me. And studying has certainly been beneficial to teach me wisdom, justice and compassion.

So, just keep praying; and reading and studying. The answers will eventually come. God promises to those who seek Him with all their heart; that He will "be found". And that often comes to pass in the place when we realize we were the ones who were lost; not God! :doh::sorry:

What ultimately becomes of your family is between them and God. We all are individually accountable for our own sin. You can pray for them, but you can't make them "see the light". That requires God to open their eyes.

I will pray for you; that you come to peace and security in God.

Jeremiah 8 is talking about the wicked Jewish nation, minus the remnant that God would have mercy on. It's not about destroying a nuclear or extended family because of one person's sin.

When we wish to return to God, and live the right way, he receives us with joy. Take the story of the prodigal son as an example, after spending his life in sin, he returned to the father, and the father threw a party for Him. Even if there was some consequence for your sins, it is better to endure it, and have salvation, than to walk away from God, and miss out on life.
