• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I am going to try to see someone from my old church (I may go back to) as soon as possible but I feel so alone and scared I want to be saved now. I am so afraid. I am afraid I am not saved, was not saved, and cannot be saved. I am afraid I do not have saving faith. I am terrified of hell. I was reading something about faith and peace and had the feeling like there was a black hole in me that was pulling all my organs and bones in and like they would shut down and expel me into hell. I'm scared.

I'm not going to lie your going to have to endure some things in the time as people lose their sense of humanity. but its right there. endurance, and perseverance creates faith.

also it says we must be better than the Pharisees and soothsayers and all those who are like white washed tombs. So celibacy might be a thing to consider. The world is falling apart because in actuality there isn't many good people. There are some. But most are successful due to being worldly, mannered, well dressed, educated. And that passes off as a good Christian. but last thing they want to think about is the worlds problems which is becoming unignorable to all of us in the near future.

Dear Heavenly Father,
I understand that I am a sinner in need of a Saviour. I know that Jesus came in the flesh and died on a cross for me. I know also, that he was resurrected from the grave to show that sin has no reign over Him.
My sins have overwhelmed me.
I repent of my sins. Please forgive me.
I invite Jesus to fill me with His Holy Spirit, and to lead me, guide me from this day forward, as I want to follow You and become one of Your children.
In Jesus name;

That is the beginning of becoming a Christian if you truly mean it. Bible reading is essential, but it will not make you a Christian. You offer yourself to Christ and ask for His leading, repenting of your sin, and looking to Him to lead you.

You are over thinking .
if you are scared enough to pray it ............you mean it.
the mind is deceiving you.
you just pray it .
Then trust the Lord to know your heart.

I'm afraid that the Lord will know my heart as being afraid of hell, not meaning all of it. I'm so unsure about everything. I want to be saved but I'm terrified I'm not. What if I relax and I'm wrong and burn forever? I need help.

the mind can deceive one so bad
they can actually be calling out to GOD , and yet believing they don't believe n him enough.
if you are calling OUT to him , knowing you need help .
don't let the mind deceive you.
DO like david did once
HE said SOUL why are you disquieted in ME.....HOPE THOU IN GOD.

you are giving the enemy power.
take that professional worrier off your name.
you Claim that. you should tell it to flee in Christ name.

The path is narrow that leads to life and few shall find it. There's a lot in the bible that scares me. I know everyone says fear is from the devil but sometimes God will make people afraid or harden their hearts or have unrelenting wrath.

DeerGlow, If you weren't saved, you wouldn't even be here worried about it. The very fact that you are even concerned about it shows that you believe in an after life. So that means you believe in Jesus. And that means NOBODY can snatch you from His Righteous Right Hand.

See, I'm a Calvinist, so that means that I was born saved. I'm a five point HYPER CAlviniST. I'm not afraid of hell. I'm not afraid of the mark of the beast. And I'm not afraid of the Antichrist. Who can bring a charge against one of God's Elect? So be like me. We were picked by the Father from before the foundation of the universe. Think about that. We were born saved.

When you get the time, get a note pad ready and click on this link:

The Doctrines of Grace

and then scroll down and hit:

The Doctrine of Election, Part 1

And then listen to the audio of John Macarthur. And every time he mentions a verse of Scripture, write it down. Then when he's done go back and read them again for yourself.

This should work.

:)

We follow the Lamb.
Wherever He goes.


The Doctrines of Grace

God desires us to have more peace than animals who worry not.
please take my advice about your title.
you claim professional worrier...............why claim worry over your life.

I'm scared. I'm a fearful person. I don't know how no one understands the fear I have. I don't want to go to hell.

from all the warnings in the bible , hell is real, the lake of fire is real
YET I have no fear , just peace of mind.
if I lose all , so be it
if I even am killed so be it.
Why do you fear ..........................he who fears is not perfected in love.
LOVE of GOD, of RIGHEOUSNESS, of brethren , even love your enemies.
pray to GOD to perfect you IN HIS LOVE
and beware mans version of love .
if you want to see love in action...................read what JESUS said , pual wrote.
do not follow an unequally yoked love. that is mans version.
Follow JESUS pattern. LOVE the TRUTH . the truth will show you how to love.
