I never in a million years thought I would be writing something like this. I used to have such a good life, and I was always really careful with my life. This is really hard to explain and really hard to understand. It would probably be helpful if you don't try to convince me that I can be saved because I can no longer be saved. My heart is broken. Others have done things like lead me in the sinners prayer and other insulting things that won't save me. Reading my Bible won't save, praying won't save me, going to church won't save me, nothing I do and nothing I believe at this point. See, I was dating my now husband and the Holy Spirit was on my back to give up the relationship. I tried, and tried, and tried but in the end we ended up getting married DESPITE the fact that God actually told me that I would go to hell if I married my now husband. I just figured, hey, this has nothing to do with salvation because salvation is free. Wrong. I look back now and see how I misunderstood the gospel and many seasoned Christians still misunderstand it. For example, repentance and salvation are NOT available until death. There are many examples in the Bible where people run out of time. Everyone wants to picture God as this never ending super nice guy but He has limits/rules. Okay back to my problem. I did what the rich ruler did. Giving up his possessions was required for his salvation but he kept them and walked away sad. Giving up this relationship of mine (back then) was required for my salvation and I kept it and walked away sad. Even though everything inside of me was screaming no about this marriage, I did it anyway. I had so much anxiety at the time. I let him pressure me into it even though I really wanted to call it quits. Which makes me mad because I shared the gospel with him and now he is the thriving believer while I am going to hell. I have been hospitalized 10x. I live in constant torment. I'm scared all the time, all I ever think about is an eternity in hell. I breathe heavy and/or hyperventilate, I can't participate in family life. I useless and worthless. My husband does everything. I can't home school the kids, I can't cook, I can't get groceries. All I really do is laundry. I want a normal family life but I wont' get it if I'm going to hell. God made His will very clear and I didn't do it. Only he who does the will of my Father will see the kingdom of Heaven. "He who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is not fit for service in the kingdom of God" Luke 9:62 Everyone has tried to comfort me but it doesn't work because only the Holy Spirit can do that and He's not doing it. I never could have imagined this happening. What do I do? I can't end my life but yet I can't function and be the mom my kids need. Please help.


Hi, my name is David. I have walked in your shoes. I know the pain you feel. I know the loneliness and heartache. I know the helplessness and longing. I know the need for this horrible life to be over and yet the fear of death! I know what you are feeling! I want you to understand something. You may have heard this before. There is ONE SOURCE for all of this Horror.. this torture that you are going through. I don't know what wrongs you've done in your life. Quite honestly I don't need to know! I don't care! Those things are between you and God! I think you've lost track of something very..VERY important! I hate sounding like a bible thumping, hell and fire Hypocrite; sometimes it simply can't be helped!

You want help, then listen to me! First off, You are NOT DAMNED! You are royalty! You have been deceived! Tricked into thinking your only destiny is Hell. YOU ARE WRONG! YOU ARE WRONG! YOU ARE WRONG!!!!! I don't care if you are murdering child molester. Salvation is still there for you! God's ear is still listening for the sound of your repentance! God's justice is pouring out upon the Earth yet he is also on a rescue mission! You want to hear more post here again. David W. Comstock Sr.

Really?

God actually told me that I would go to hell if I married my now husband

If you married a non-Christian, that was a mistake. But God does not "send you to hell" for that.

Giving up this relationship of mine (back then) was required for my salvation

Ummm, no, actually.

I shared the gospel with him and now he is the thriving believer

Doesn't that show that God turned your mistake to good?

God made His will very clear and I didn't do it

I think you're seriously mistaken about that.

I won't say he wasn't saved. He bowed to the will of God. Jews were taken to heaven. Saved is really state since the time of Christ.
Ok, let's put it another way, is he currently in heaven / kingdom of heaven / kingdom of God?

TWO PRAYERS:
1. true salvation
2. true healing

1. true salvation = BELIEVE...then...FOLLOW
John 3 explained in Ephesians 2 +
Matthew 16: 24-27 (NASB) Jesus: Christ-following Is Spiritually Costly
Luke 14:25-33 (NASB) ....Discipleship Tested

2. true healing.
FAITH and TRUST HEALS...

John 14 ...Jesus Comforts His Disciples
"Do not let your hearts be troubled.
Trust in God; trust also in me.(Jesus)...
Peace I leave with you;
my peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled
and do not be afraid
.

James 5....The Prayer of Faith
Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray.
Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise.
Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him
and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord.
And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up.
If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
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.

Philippians 4...Do not be anxious
Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving,
present your requests to God.
And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding,
will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Finally, brothers,
whatever is true,
whatever is noble,
whatever is right,
whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable
—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy
—think (LET YOUR MIND FOCUS ON / MEDITATE) about such things.
....And the God of peace will be with you.
