Yes. Learn from your mistakes and do not do them ever again. The sin that you've committed against your brother is a sin that does not lead to death, so you should be relieved that you have been forgiving for such sin. As long as you forgive those who trespass against you, you will be fine alright?

(Ephesians 6:12-18)
For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

But if you do commit sins that leads to death, be very afraid. Keep watch on yourself and do not commit the abominable sins. Take care.

Do you mind clarifying what a sin unto death is? I never fully understood this.

Thanks I totally get what your saying. I guess I need to take time to learn more and grow as a christian. And read the word more. I have been preaching alot to everybody just out of love because I want everyone to be saved. And yeah blame does make me feel like the victim. Thanks for your time though. :amen:

You have more understanding than I did at your age; good for you. I guess that I was assuming you had the same exact mentality I did when I first got saved, but you are more clued than I was at that time. Sorry!

On a side note, don't underestimate just how powerful a witness it can be to go back to your brother with whom you got angry, and admit and apologize for your anger. I've had to do that on more than one occasion and I can tell you it's always unexpected and appreciated by the other person.

Regarding wanting everyone to be saved, that's awesome! It shows genuine love for the Lord. I've come to realize that sometimes living out the Christ-like attitude and then waiting for that appropriate time to verbalize the gospel message can be powerful. As I'm sure you're aware of :) in Ecclesiastes, everything has it's proper time.

Do you mind clarifying what a sin unto death is? I never fully understood this.

Sure, I will explain. Sin unto death is a another term for "sins that leads to death."

John stated that all wrong doing is sin according to verse 1 John 5:17, so we should not reject the fact that all sins are wrong. The point of passage 1 John 5:16:17 is to inform us that if we see our Christian brother or sister (a.k.a. insiders) commit a sin, we who are spiritual should restore them gently according to verse Galatians 6:1. A person should pray for forgiveness for their Christian brother or sister (a.k.a. insiders) when their Christian brother/Christian sister confess and repent of their sins to the one that they have trespassed in order for the Christian brother/Christian sister to be forgiven by God the Father, but we are not to pray for those who are in rebellion since those who sin deliberately will not be forgiven due to blasphemy against the Holy Spirit according to verse Numbers 15:30 (because in verses 1 John 3:4-10 and 1 John 5:18-20, John explains that those who are of God cannot go on sinning).

HERE. READ VERSE: Galatians 6:1-10 which is about "Doing Good to All."


(Galatians 6:1-10) "Brothers, if someone is caught in a sin, you who are spiritual should restore him gently. But watch yourself, or you also may be tempted. Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. If anyone thinks he is something when he is nothing, he deceives himself. Each one should test his own actions. Then he can take pride in himself, without comparing himself to somebody else, for each one should carry his own load.

Anyone who receives instruction in the word must share all good things with his instructor.

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers.


What we MUST do if we see a believer going astray and if we see a believer that we know sinning:

(Leviticus 19:17) “‘Do not hate your brother in your heart. Rebuke your neighbor frankly so you will not share in his guilt.

(Luke 17:3-4) So watch yourselves.
“If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, ‘I repent,’ forgive him.”


(James 5:16) Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.

===========================================================================================

Verse Matthew 5:17-48 makes it clear to us that murdering your brother; committing adultery; getting into a divorce; breaking oaths; not loving your enemies is not an act of love, but an act of hate, and this is breaking the two greatest commandments that sums up the entire law that is written in the book of the law according to verse Galatians 5:14-15, which says, "The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other." Also according to verse Romans 13:9, which says, "The commandments, "Do not commit adultery," "Do not murder," "Do not steal," "Do not covet," and whatever other commandment there may be, are summed up in this one rule: "Love your neighbor as yourself."

The law of Moses is referred to love, because love covers over a multitude of sins which is mentioned in 1 Peter 4:8/1 Peter.

As Jesus stated through his teachings, we are to forgive those who trespass against us or we won't be forgiven by God the father. Sin causes people to stumble and fall. We must not sin or else we will be leading others into sin and leading others to the pit/eternal condemnation.

We are to love God with all our heart and all our strength and we are to love our brothers/sisters by treating them how we want to be treated.

===========================================================================================

According to verse (Matthew 12:30-31), Jesus said to the Pharisees, “He who is not with me is against me, and he who does not gather with me scatters. And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.

Let me clarify to you what this verse is basically saying. The word blaspheme basically means to insult, to profane, to curse, or to disrespect a person that another person despises or opposes of. So if we blaspheme men who opposes us, we are able to be forgiven by God the Father if we forgive those who sin against us according to the word of God, but if we do not forgive those who sin against us, we will not be forgiven by God the Father according to verse (Matthew 6:14-15), which says, "For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins."

READ VERSE: Matthew 18:21 about "The Parable of the Unmerciful Servant."

(Matthew 18:21-35) Then Peter came to Jesus and asked, “Lord, how many times shall I forgive my brother when he sins against me? Up to seven times?”

Jesus answered, “I tell you, not seven times, but seventy-seven times.

“Therefore, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his servants. As he began the settlement, a man who owed him ten thousand talents was brought to him. Since he was not able to pay, the master ordered that he and his wife and his children and all that he had be sold to repay the debt.

“The servant fell on his knees before him. ‘Be patient with me,’ he begged, ‘and I will pay back everything.’ The servant’s master took pity on him, canceled the debt and let him go.

“But when that servant went out, he found one of his fellow servants who owed him a hundred denarii. He grabbed him and began to choke him. ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ he demanded.

“His fellow servant fell to his knees and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will pay you back.’

“But he refused. Instead, he went off and had the man thrown into prison until he could pay the debt. When the other servants saw what had happened, they were greatly distressed and went and told their master everything that had happened.

“Then the master called the servant in. ‘You wicked servant,’ he said, ‘I canceled all that debt of yours because you begged me to. Shouldn’t you have had mercy on your fellow servant just as I had on you?’ In anger his master turned him over to the jailers to be tortured, until he should pay back all he owed.

“This is how my heavenly Father will treat each of you unless you forgive your brother from your heart.”

Also according to verse (Luke 17:1-4), Jesus said to his disciples: “Things that cause people to sin are bound to come, but woe to that person through whom they come. It would be better for him to be thrown into the sea with a millstone tied around his neck than for him to cause one of these little ones to sin. So watch yourselves.

“If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him. If he sins against you seven times in a day, and seven times comes back to you and says, ‘I repent,’ forgive him.”

If we cross reference verse Luke 17:1-10 with the whole passage to chapter Matthew 18, you will get a clearer meaning of this passage.

So, according to these verses that I have displayed here, we are to forgive those who sin against us no matter how many times they have sinned against. If God can forgive us for our sins, we should also forgive those for their sins.


To blasphemy against the Spirit is to insult the spirit of grace due to harden of heart, rebellion, not loving your brother/sister, etc... which will not be forgiven.

Do you mind clarifying what a sin unto death is? I never fully understood this.


NOW READ THE REST OF VERSE MATTHEW 12:30-32:

(Matthew 12:32) "Anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who speaks against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven, either in this age or in the age to come."

What that verse means, is that if they claim themselves to be religious, and they end up speaking sacrilegiously about God by any means such as (profaning his name, insulting the Spirit of grace, or sinning deliberately), they will not be forgiven. They will lose their reward (which they never did possessed to begin with), and will not make it into the Kingdom of God. Also, if they end up turning away from the faith to follow other Gods (a.k.a. carved idols/sacred stones/graven images) that cannot hear, talk, nor walk as well as to follow other religions (i.e. of Satan), than that too will be considered blasphemy because that will be forsaking God by sinning against him as well as rejecting his Son Jesus Christ along with the word of God which is the bible. There is no forgiveness for those who did not stand firm in the faith, they will lose their reward, and will not make it into the Kingdom of God.
If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever (1 Chronicles 28:9).

Those who gone astray do not count as those who blasphemed against the Holy Spirit. They only blaspheme against Jesus Christ (a.k.a. the Son of Man) due to (preaching) false teachings about him or due to slandering his name. Let's say if one day a person decide to neglect false teachers to follow God's one and only son Jesus Christ as well as the entire bible, they will be forgiven. If they get baptized for the remission of sins, and receive the gift of the Holy Spirit, they will also be forgiven.
Like with Paul for example, Paul was exactly like the Pagans who use to misuse God's name, but wound up turning away from Satan to follow Jesus and God in the end, as a result, he was forgiven. Why was he forgiven? Because he believed and repented.

However, the Pharisees, the Sadduccees, and the Teachers of the Law blasphemed against God and against the Holy Spirit because they were against Christ/the teachings of Christ and the idea of the Holy Spirit to begin with even though they claim to be servants of God. Judas blaspheme against God and the Holy Spirit as well because he was of God in the beginning (meaning that he belong to God), but he end up doing a blasphemous thing by having Jesus killed on the cross, so he will not be forgiven. He had forsaking God and had portrayed Jesus which he will end up having to face God's judgment on the day of the Lord (a.k.a. The Second Coming of Jesus Christ); read (Matthew 26:14-25). Peter also portrayed Jesus due to the fact that he denied Christ, but eventually he was forgiven; read Matthew 26:31-35, Luke 22:54-62, and Acts 26:1-19. You might ask yourself, why was Peter forgiven and not Judas? It's because Judas committed suicide after the fact that he quenched the Holy Spirit. Read Acts 1:12-26. Judas didn't repent for the malicious act that he committed against God's Son, he just committed suicide which showed that his cowardliness will not lead him to repentance, but a curse. On the other hand, the Lord Jesus Christ show compassion over Peter's remorse, and so he saved Peter from getting killed by Herod the Pilate by letting him out/go freely. Peter demonstrated his character by instant repentance, that was why in the beginning, Jesus asked Him three times, "Peter will you feed my sheep (John 21:15-17)." He asked him this three times about feeding his sheep because he knew that Peter will not fall away completely, but will receive forgiveness, and will lead his sheep for him after his death.

In the book of 1 Samuel 2, it mentions about Eli's sons who had no regard for the Lord or the practices that comes with. They were wicked, immoral, and didn't like being rebuked by their own father for their sins.
According to verse (1 Samuel 2:25), it stays, "If a man sins against another man, God may mediate for him; but if a man sins against the Lord, who will intercede for him?” His sons, however, did not listen to their father’s rebuke, for it was the Lord’s will to put them to death."

(Proverbs 29:1) A man who remains stiff-necked after many rebukes will suddenly be destroyed--without remedy.

I will back up my statements with these verses so that you will have a better understanding of what I am saying.

HERE ARE THE WARNING VERSES THAT ARE ABOUT BLASPHEMING AGAINST GOD AND THE HOLY SPIRIT:
(Deuteronomy 29:19-21) When such a person hears the words of this oath, he invokes a blessing on himself and therefore thinks, “I will be safe, even though I persist in going my own way.” This will bring disaster on the watered land as well as the dry. The Lord will never be willing to forgive him; his wrath and zeal will burn against that man. All the curses written in this book will fall upon him, and the Lord will blot out his name from under heaven. The Lord will single him out from all the tribes of Israel for disaster, according to all the curses of the covenant written in this Book of the Law.

(Hebrew 10:26-31) 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. Anyone who rejected the law of Moses died without mercy on the testimony of two or three witnesses. How much more severely do you think a man deserves to be punished who has trampled the Son of God under foot, who has treated as an unholy thing the blood of the covenant that sanctified him, and who has insulted the Spirit of grace? For we know him who said, “It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” and again, “The Lord will judge his people.” It is a dreadful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.

(2 Peter 2:20-22) If they have escaped the corruption of the world by knowing our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and are again entangled in it and overcome, they are worse off at the end than they were at the beginning. It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them. Of them the proverbs are true: “A dog returns to its vomit,” and, “A sow that is washed goes back to her wallowing in the mud.”

(Hebrews 6:4-8) It is impossible for those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, who have shared in the Holy Spirit, who have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the coming age, if they fall away, to be brought back to repentance, because to their loss they are crucifying the Son of God all over again and subjecting him to public disgrace.

Land that drinks in the rain often falling on it and that produces a crop useful to those for whom it is farmed receives the blessing of God. But land that produces thorns and thistles is worthless and is in danger of being cursed. In the end it will be burned.


FROM THE COMMANDMENTS:
(Numbers 15:30) "Anyone who sins defiantly, whether native-born or alien, blasphemes the LORD, and that person must be cut off from his people."

(Exodus 20:7) "You shall not misuse the name of the LORD your God, for the LORD will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses his name."

(Exodus 22:28) "Do not blaspheme God or curse the ruler of your people."

CONCLUSION:
So the saying is, is if we misuse God's name, that will be considered blasphemy, and if we forsake or insult the spirit of Grace, that will be considered blasphemy. And If we rebel against God, that also will be considered blasphemy.

ok thanks for clarifying all of that. Does this mean that as long as we have a repentant heart and a will to stop sinning and learn from our mistakes we will be saved? I have sinned deliberately before but I did repent and ask for forgiveness and am right with God now. It says it is impossible for us who knew these heavenly things to fall away and be restored to grace... but I did backslide before. And when I did backslide I was eventually given over to my old ways. But God worked on my heart again even when I was a backslider and here I am today living for God.

There's a way to tell if you are forgiven or not based on your life as of today. Has there ever been any signs of plagues and curses in your life? Have you ever experience many calamities, hardships, rebukes, etc... in your life? Have it stop occurring ever since you came back to God and Christ?

Oh, and you're welcome. It's good to hear that you are in the right track. I do have a another question for you though. Do you still (or do you) receive dreams and visions from the Holy Spirit? Are they now bad dream/visions or good dreams/visions. Have you ever witnessed the gift of the Holy Spirit? What I mean by witnessing, I mean have you ever seen the spirit of God descending upon you like a dove? Have you ever been filled with the Holy Spirit before? What has happen to you after you rebelled against God in the past? Have you ever felt abandoned and rejected by God?

I need to know these things so I can be able to figure you out. Or I can pray about it tonight and ask God to give me a revelation on you. God is able to do that for me. He still speaks.

If you don't feel like sharing these information, let me know, and I'll just pray for you.

Every Christian goes through the kind of struggles that you are facing. Anyone that says they can completely avoid sin is either lying or has major blind spots. The Apostle Paul, who wrote quite a bit of the New Testament, had this to say:

I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. (Romans 7:15)

and...

For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. (Romans 7:19)

You see? We all have our weaknesses. Paul talked about coveting being one of his biggest struggles with sin. For some it may be anger or gossip or lying or greed... but EVERYONE battles pride. It's the one area of sin that none of us can completely defeat. But we can learn to manage it (and our other areas of struggle) better with time.

The fact that you hate your sin is good, but don't ever let it turn into hate for yourself. That's called condemnation and it's from the devil. Your heart is in the right place, and God sees that better than anyone.

Oh, and you're welcome. It's good to hear that you are in the right track. I do have a another question for you though. Do you still (or do you) receive dreams and visions from the Holy Spirit? Are they now bad dream/visions or good dreams/visions. Have you ever witnessed the gift of the Holy Spirit? What I mean by witnessing, I mean have you ever seen the spirit of God descending upon you like a dove? Have you ever been filled with the Holy Spirit before? What has happen to you after you rebelled against God in the past? Have you ever felt abandoned and rejected by God?

I need to know these things so I can be able to figure you out. Or I can pray about it tonight and ask God to give me a revelation on you. God is able to do that for me. He still speaks.

If you don't feel like sharing these information, let me know, and I'll just pray for you.

I have never seen the Holy spirit descend like a dove but I have felt him descend like a dove onto me many many times now. I seek His presence daily. I have been full of the holy ghost and felt Him in me and he is always with me. I have felt far from Him before when I sinned and watched pornography (which I no longer do). But Just this morning I woke up to His wonderful presence. Where you feel total love and warmth and joy and cant help but shed tears. HE brought all these old profound dreams of my childhood to remembrance. He was speaking to me actually. By putting all these thoughts in my head that I dont usually think that aligned with scripture.

There's a way to tell if you are forgiven or not based on your life as of today. Has there ever been any signs of plagues and curses in your life? Have you ever experience many calamities, hardships, rebukes, etc... in your life? Have it stop occurring ever since you came back to God and Christ?

Yes my dad used to always be harsh towards me when I use to go out all the time. But since I came back to Christ my dad is totally nice to me now.

@REAL EYEZ. Becareful that no one deceives you.


Read and keep verse 1 Corinthians 10:1-13:

Warnings From Israel’s History

1 Corinthians 10:1-13 For I do not want you to be ignorant of the fact, brothers, that our forefathers were all under the cloud and that they all passed through the sea. They were all baptized into Moses in the cloud and in the sea. They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered over the desert.

Now these things occurred as examples to keep us from setting our hearts on evil things as they did. Do not be idolaters, as some of them were; as it is written: “The people sat down to eat and drink and got up to indulge in pagan revelry.”We should not commit sexual immorality, as some of them did—and in one day twenty-three thousand of them died. We should not test the Lord, as some of them did—and were killed by snakes. And do not grumble, as some of them did—and were killed by the destroying angel.

These things happened to them as examples and were written down as warnings for us, on whom the fulfillment of the ages has come. So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall! No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it.

I got saved in the summer of my 8th grade year when I was born again. I had terrible anxiety and panic attacks and I turned to God and prayed to Jesus that he would save me and come into my heart and He did and instantly delivered me of the panic attacks. I walked with Him until around the end of 10th grade when I fell away and began to smoke weed and party and I got to a point where God didn't even cross my mind anymore. I was in rebellio0n towards him basically and trying to be "cool" and follow the world. It seemed like at the beginning of this year on January 1st ( or maybe before that). God began calling me again. I would think about Him and pray that he would help me despite my situation and I felt his presence again (even though I would be stoned). Go figure lol. But I kept praying to him that he would help me to follow Him again because I knew he was calling me out and my mom would also pray for me. I stopped doing a variety of sins and the last one I held onto was smoking weed. I thought it was ok because I stil had somewha of a relationship with him and would be filled with his spirit even though I smoked it. I asked him if it was ok to smoke weed and he showed me that I needed to quit and I did. Since I quit smoking I have been on fire for God and I realize how much my mind was deluded by the weed. I quit smoking and one day i recieved a dream where I was with some friends from school and I felt a total peace love and joy in my heart.. I felt the way that God wants us to feel and be in the dream and I woke up changed from that day. That was about 2 months ago. Now I follow him and take Him seriously. The craziest dream I got from Him was one where I was praising God in it saying, "thank you Jesus, Thank you Holy spirit, and then I paused and said, "and God almighty......sitting on His throne.." And that instant in the dream I had a vision and I felt my consciousness shoot upwards and I saw a large celestial room. I saw a throne and one who had the shape of a man on it. I could not see His face but He was glowing the most brilliant white light like how charcoal glows or something. He looked like he was made out of solid light. I realized who I was looking at and I felt His power which was so tremendous that it felt like my entire being, all of my atoms could have been annihilated in an instant!!! I felt physical pain from beholding His appearance and this vision within the dream only lasted for like 1 or 2 seconds. And I thought that I would have died if I was in his presence any longer!! (I really think I got to see the Father for a split second). And 2 nights later I dreamed that I was in some vast vast valley sort of place with beautiful green grass all over and humungous beautiful snow capped mountains in the distance. I saw a playground and played on it (even though im an adult lol). And
Eventually I was walking around with Jesus. He had shoulder length brown hair and a beard and olive skin. HE was about 6 feet tall and had a red and white robe on. We were walking and talking but I cant remember anything we said to each other. All i know is that he was the nicest, most humble, coolest, most loving, best person you could possibly ever imagine to meet. I loved Him in the dream. All I remember was that He pointed to one of those giant snow capped mountains in the distance and said, "God's throne is bigger than that mountain".

That's great! Sounds like God has forgiving you. These are the same experiences that I get most of the night and even in the mornings. It's good to hear a Christian like yourself doing right with their life. There's not too many Christians that i've encounted who actually believe in obeying God's commandments. I only come across a few that do in which they take very seriously. If you need a friend that you can count on, please contact me through this site. I will like to get to know you better if you don't mind.

Yeah I take our God very seriously lol. He has shown me such a love and forgiveness and acceptance so I love Him back with all my heart. And he makes me love others. If I sin I can't help but repent. And Jesus said, "If you love me you will obey me" And that is the truth. And I will contact you. You speak the truth and I know that the love of God is in you. Thank you for taking the time to help me with my walk bro.

Wow, amazing testimony. That dream you had reminds me of the vision I had last year about Jesus Christ. What you describe is exactly how I pictured Jesus in my vision. It was the most vivid vision I have ever received.

The vision started out in my bedroom. I had no idea I was dreaming or having a vision. So anyways, I woke up and saw a man glowing in the dark. It started out blurry at first because my eyes were filled with mucus since I thought I woke up from it. He called my name saying wake up and than he lift me up. I end up flying up to the sky with him. I sense it was Jesus since he appeared to be glorious and illuminated by the power of the Holy Spirit. I saw that he was crying, and so I wipe the tear drop from his right eye. Than I remember seeing angels around me while me and Jesus were up in the sky dancing to a song that goes: "I have the time of my life and I owe it all to you." I don't know who sings it, but I have heard of the song before like way back when I was little. Than the vision switch, and I end up in a garden, that appeared to be snowing. I saw that I was heading to the school's campus, and I end up sitting with bunch of kids at the bench table. It looked so real man, it was so awesomely weird. Than I woke up amazed that It was a vision that I received from God that I've been praying about for 2 months. I ask God to give me a dream about Jesus, and 2 months later he did. I was so happy to have received this vision. Ever since than, I have been getting visions and dreams like there's no tomorrow.

It was nice that you've shared your story with me. I hope others will read it and be inspired to turn away from their sins and to experience true love from God and Jesus as we both have.

woah!! now thats crazy. I know that words don't fully describe these experiences. They are spiritual experiences but that one is powerful. I think My dream with Jesus had something to do with a school as well. But yeah I get dreams like no tomorrow aswell lol. I think the Lord is coming back soon. Too many people get profound dreams like this lately. And because he gave me one saying that, "He is coming soon." I think when you turn your full heart to Him he allows us to see these things. Dreams are meant to be shared believe.

Dreams are meant to be shared believe.

Yeah, those spiritual experience are something to remember. I remember every single spiritual experienced that I have. I write down and type down all of my dreams and visions on a sheet a paper/Wordpad so that one day, I can be able to go to those dreams and say, "Wow, God gave me those dreams/visions." Do you also write/type down your dreams and visions too? If you don't, you should. It's something that I do on a daily bases. It's like a dairy/journal that I keep.

Oh, about Jesus coming back soon, that's something that God has revealed to me in a vision too. He shared this with me back around early 2012. The moment when I received this vision was when I was filled with the Holy Spirit. I was so filled with the Holy Spirit that it felt like I was literally drunk. No joke, I was like staggering. Once the feeling was over, It felt like I was falling into a deep sleep (a.k.a. a trance), that's how weak I felt afterwards. Than all of the sudden I can feel my spirit being lifted up. The weird part about the experience was that the atmosphere started to change around me which I end up seeing myself being transported to another realm or another room, but really, I was actually having a vivid vision during it. In the vision, I find myself in a wooden room with tons of pictures hanging from the ceiling of how the resurrection of the dead is going to be like. There were words written on the pictures saying "Jesus is Lord; Jesus is the Son of God; Jesus will execute judgment on the wicked; New Heaven and New Earth will soon come for the righteous; and etc... I even remember reading words in Hebrew. I remember looking at this picture of a grave with the word "KEVER" written on top of it in bold. I saw a lot of flames and destruction from those pictures. I think/believe I also saw the four horses in the picture too which is mentioned in the book of Revelations.

This vision has nothing to do with the rapture because the rapture is a false doctrine. However, It has something to do with the resurrection of the dead. God revealed this dream to me so that I can understand what the resurrection of the dead is like because back than, I didn't understand the whole concept of it until God showed me how it's going to be like. It's going to be an awesome/dangerous/scarey event for many. Many eyes will see this.

Too many people get profound dreams like this lately. And because he gave me one saying that, "He is coming soon."

That's true. It would be cool if one of us can make a thread about the topic of sharing dreams and visions, than we can and also others can share their dreams and visions that they've received from God through the Holy Spirit. Even though it sounds like a good idea, it can also be a bad idea too because I know many false prophets who make their dreams up. The bible warns us about those types of prophets according to verses Zechariah 10:2, Jeremiah 23, Jeremiah 27:9, and Deuteronomy 13:5. I know many on Youtube in the past that told false dreams, false consolations, and false prophesies on purpose to deceive many of believing in the false doctrine called the rapture in which I use to be one of those who use to believe in this myth when I first came to Christ. Man, they were really wolves in sheep clothing due to the fact that a few of God's children were trying to call them out about it in which those wolves end up blocking them to avoid being called out. God was upset with me in the past for believing in those false prophets, but it didn't last long because God has grab me in to the truth through the word of God and through the visions he gave me warning me to study the word because back than, I was slacking off on reading my bible.

You said something about how he gave you one saying that, "He is coming soon." Please tell me more. :)
