Beloveds, we cannot ignore all of the countless testimonies of people having their lives changed by believing in Jesus Christ as their Savior. When you repent of your sins, ask God for forgiveness, and accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you will receive the Holy Spirit of God:

The Holy Spirit empowers believers to undergo a profound transformation, changing their character and enabling them to live a life aligned with God's will. This transformation is not merely a change in behavior but a renewal of the mind and heart, leading to a deeper relationship with God and a more Christ-like character.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

1. Renewal of the Mind:

The Holy Spirit works to transform believers' thoughts, perspectives, and understanding of God's Word. This renewal allows individuals to discern God's will and make choices that reflect His character.

2. Changing Character:

The Holy Spirit produces "fruit" in the lives of believers, such as love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control according to Galatians 5:22-23. These qualities reflect the character of Christ and are evidence of the Spirit's work in a believer's life.

3. Empowering Witness:

The Holy Spirit empowers believers to share their faith with others, giving them boldness and clarity in their witness. According to John 16:7, Jesus promised that the Holy Spirit would be a "Helper" who would empower believers to fulfill the Great Commission.

This verse is also relevant:

"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit—the Father will send Him in My name—will teach you all things and remind you of everything I have told you." (John 14:26, HCSB)

4. Overcoming Sin:

The Holy Spirit helps believers overcome sin and live a life that is pleasing to God. This is not a one-time event but a process of ongoing growth and transformation.

5. Spiritual Circumcision:

The Holy Spirit works to "cut away" the sinful nature of believers, replacing it with godly characteristics, making them more and more like Jesus.

"As we build a closer relationship with the Holy Spirit, He will also pull us away from things we have in our lives that don’t please Him. This can be as simple as inappropriate music becoming distasteful to us because of the negative messages it brings, for example." - Justin Torres, biblestudytools.com

6. Examples in Scripture:

The transformation of Peter after Pentecost, who went from denying Jesus to boldly preaching the Gospel, is a powerful example of the Holy Spirit's transformative power.

7. Not a Fading Emotion:

The transforming power of the Holy Spirit is not a fleeting emotion but a consistent and dynamic force in the life of a believer.

Please ignore all the hateful atheists, blasphemers, mockers, and those who choose to believe in occult falsehoods. I will pray for them.

If your heart is yearning for Jesus, here's a decent video to begin with:

How to believe in Jesus (even if you don’t believe in God yet)

Dear friends, never dabble in any witchcraft, satanism, or the occult. This includes new age and gnosticism.

Hylton grew up in church seeing powerful miracles of Jesus, however after his family began to fall apart he was caught up in substance addiction. After a powerful encounter with Jesus who saved him, he cried out to God for purpose and received a heart for satanists and those in the occult to be set free and healed in Jesus name!

"From addict to casting demons out of occultists"

"Then whoever puts his trust in Him will have life that lasts forever. For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son. Whoever puts his trust in God’s Son will not be lost but will have life that lasts forever. For God did not send His Son into the world to say it is guilty. He sent His Son so the world might be saved from the punishment of sin by Him." (John 3:15-17, NLV)

Growing up in a cult, a desperately yearning Zahrah learned about a god devoid of love. As a child struggling with mental illness her mother surrendered the adolescent Zahrah to her father, who also refused to cope with this suffering girl's mental illness. She became homeless at an early age. Seeking some solace, a practicing witch offered to Zahrah an escape through astral projection and other demonic practices. This led to a downward spiral. Eventually it would lead to Zahrah's death. She found herself being pulled to a door within a hellish place knowing that once she passed through that door, there would be no return. But then someone showed up - the God of Love for whom Zahrah yearned for all of her life. This is a must see interview. This story will unveil the heart of God to a lost soul who today rejoices in finally knowing the loving Father each of us desires.

Have you tried praying to God? I get the impression you're expecting Him to bless you automatically?

You must turn away from sin and put Jesus first in your life if you expect to receive God's favor. He will reach out to you if you reach out to Him.

As a native of Colombia, Julie gave her life to Christ in 2008 after her father committed suicide, and through His grace, she was set free from five generations of witches and witchcraft. After growing up in Spain, and then living in the United Kingdom, she and her family moved back to Colombia to expand the prophetic and apostolic throughout Latin America. Julie is known for her strong deliverance, spiritual warfare and prophetic anointing.

1. God does bless his creatures by his own nature, as Jesus states if you want me to believe him:
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

2. Yes I have. And you will still object, and I will ask you how many times praying should be enough to gain a damn decent living, and you will say X times, and I'll do it and see no result and you will not keep replying beyond copy-pasting dead words.

I cannot know what your personal situation is exactly. Have you actually tried being faithful and keep His commandments?

Please bear in mind that God isn't a genie that you can use and abandon whenever it suits you. Without Him, we do not truly live. Without Him, we pursue sin and falsehoods which just brings agony and eventually eternal death.

"I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture. The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came so that they would have life, and have it abundantly." (John 10:9-11, NASB)

>>40557880
How many times will you ask for me to say yes? How many excuses will you give for the fact that for many, he's neglectful as a father and has left us behind?
He's not a genie, ok, but you expect us to believe in him as a father, per Jesus words, and that simply is not true in the lives of the many,
Besides, you go for a fallacy, for many pagans and atheists do not know him and they have not only wealth but their basic needs filled. So no, it is not required for him to provide, apparently.
So, if you want to preach first go raise money to help people that God has left behind dying and in poorness instead of being in this anime online forum.

The initial summary has a mistake where it should've said "like a dove" like in the rest of the explanation.

You shouldn't be pursuing earthly riches.

"Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." (Matthew 6:19-21, ESV)

I'm sorry to hear if you've been experiencing adversity, but the Word of God teaches us to remain faithful and strong, trusting in Him instead of just wanting a life of ease and comfort. I will say a prayer for you.

>>40557945
that sage advice existed long prior to Jesus. He lays no claim to telling people to value Heaven over Earth. We already knew that.

There is a God of Resurrection, which we knew in Horus.
And a God of Love, which we knew in Jesus.
There is also a God of Liberation, a God who frees those who are enslaved.

>>40557943
It's not as if it's just an assumption that other paths lead to suffering, emptiness, and even demonic oppression - it's been proven many times over by many different people who have shared their testimonies. And I myself am one of them as well.

Candice Sumera is an ex new ager who tells and explains why so many people are having demons and now needing deliverance. She also breaks down the dangers of yoga.

"Ex new ager tells why so many people are having demons"

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVL33YlGH0k

Comments underneath the video:

"Amen. I first came to God through deliverance…but now I’m in a season of inner healing with the Holy Spirit. What she is saying is true!!!! I’ve been journaling out my traumas and asking the Lord to show me what I need to see to get my full healing"

"The problem is that most of the people who have the deepest wounds, those that the world would say have a “personality disorder”, do not feel worthy to ask for healing from God, nor do they want help. It’s a very hard thing for sure!"

"She’s mixing her past teachings and her fear of what she has seen in deliverance in the Church. Some demons scream, CRY and vomit. They can be stubborn depending how long they’ve been there, etc. she is speaking from her understanding and that’s okay. But some (most) people don’t need a long drawn out therapy session or many therapy sessions. Repent, denounce and LEAVE IN JESUS NAME!"

>>40557996
If I ask you to leave in Jesus' name, and consider stop trying to hound people into a pseudo-religious cult that Jesus wants nothing to do with, will you do that?

Conservatives and the patriarchy they represent using "Jesus" to prey on burnt-out New Agers isn't quite the spiritual coup you so desperately want it to be. Dragging people back into the darkness runs contrary to the evolution of the Spirit.

>>40557996
>The Twelve Tribes, formerly known as the Vine Christian Community Church, the Northeast Kingdom Community Church, the Messianic Communities, and the Community Apostolic Order, is a movement that is defined as either a cult or a new religious movement. It was founded by Gene Spriggs and sprang out of the Jesus movement in 1972 in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The group calls itself an attempt to recreate the 1st-century church as it is described in the Book of Acts.

>The group's origins in Chattanooga led to planted churches in surrounding areas. In the late seventies, the group began a community in Island Pond, Vermont. As their relationship with the Chattanooga community deteriorated, the group eventually left Tennessee and moved primarily to Vermont. The Twelve Tribes's beliefs resemble those of Christian fundamentalism, the Hebrew Roots movement, Messianic Judaism, and the Sacred Name Movement; however, the group believes that all other denominations are fallen, and it therefore refuses to align itself with any denomination or movement.

>The group's strict courtship rules and their views on child rearing have been a source of controversy. The use of community labor, in which all funds are managed by the group as opposed to individuals, has been criticized for being exploitative and allowing child labor.

>They have been criticized for their beliefs and practices, including for their supremacist views against black and Jewish people outside of their membership. The group's teachings have been characterized as "racist, misogynistic and homophobic", and ex-members report excessive corporal punishment, failure to stop child sexual abuse, and exploitation of followers for labor.

>>40558007
You believe in a new age/occult/gnostic version of Jesus. No one has ever been saved by a false christ. Please do not condemn yourself by believing falsehoods. You don't wish to believe in the real Jesus because you'd rather disobey God and commit whatever sins you like.

The Bible warns us what happens with such people:

https://www.gotquestions.org/consequences-of-rejecting-God.html

(Part 1):

(Romans 1:18-33, HCSB):

"For God’s wrath is revealed from heaven against all godlessness and unrighteousness of people who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth, since what can be known about God is evident among them, because God has shown it to them. For His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen since the creation of the world, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse.

>>40558055
(Part 2):

For though they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God or show gratitude. Instead, their thinking became nonsense, and their senseless minds were darkened. Claiming to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images resembling mortal man, birds, four-footed animals, and reptiles.

>>40558060
(Part 3):

Therefore God delivered them over in the cravings of their hearts to sexual impurity, so that their bodies were degraded among themselves. They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served something created instead of the Creator, who is praised forever. Amen.

>>40558064
(Part 4):

This is why God delivered them over to degrading passions. For even their females exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones. The males in the same way also left natural relations with females and were inflamed in their lust for one another. Males committed shameless acts with males and received in their own persons the appropriate penalty of their error.

>>40558070
(Part 5):

And because they did not think it worthwhile to acknowledge God, God delivered them over to a worthless mind to do what is morally wrong. They are filled with all unrighteousness, evil, greed, and wickedness. They are full of envy, murder, quarrels, deceit, and malice. They are gossips, slanderers, God-haters, arrogant, proud, boastful, inventors of evil, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, and unmerciful. Although they know full well God’s just sentence—that those who practice such things deserve to die—they not only do them, but even applaud others who practice them."

>>40558031
The Word of God makes it abundantly clear that humans have an evil nature. Professing Christ does not mean that someone will be a good person guaranteed.

But all of the testimonies of people's lives being transformed by Jesus speak for themselves. Follow God, not people.

>>40557516 (OP)
Yo did you know you can know for a 100 % fact that you’re going to heaven??. You don’t have to change your life, you don’t have to go to Church. You don’t have to turn from your sins. You don’t have to be water baptized. All you have to do is believe on Jesus Christ, that’s literally it.

John 6:47 “Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.”

Romans 4:4-8

Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

No, we're not saved by faith alone. Jesus desires us to do good works.

"And do not forget to do good and to share with others, for with such sacrifices God is pleased." (Hebrews 13:16, NIV)

God bless you.

>>40558213
but Hebrews 13:16 is not Jesus' own words, and in itself has nothing to say about salvation or being denied salvation, it's simply good advice.

Of course Jesus desires that people do good things. That's the whole point. That people should do good things is also not an idea that is unique to Jesus or Christianity.

After they get you into the cult, they'll twist the words around so that "good works" rises to no less than a divine commandment to toil for the cult as its slave.

>>40558243
No, the Word of God makes it clear that we are to do good works.

https://www.gotquestions.org/faith-without-works-dead.html

Why do you even bother to comment on the Word of God when you don't want to understand what it actually says and instead create your own interpretations? You seem to suffer from a condition where you keep insisting on rebelling against God and creating your own version of both who God is and what His Word says. Very sadly there are many people in the world who suffer from this. I will pray for them.

>>40558329
You seem to be blaming God and Christians for the woes of the world.

The reason why the world is the way it is is because of what happened through Adam and Eve in the Garden. They disobeyed God and believed the devil over their Father, essentially choosing to make the devil their god. That's why we're born into an evil world full of suffering, but God has given us a chance to reconcile with Him through faith in Jesus.

But very sadly there are many who prove that they are indeed Adam and Eve's offspring by choosing to disobey God and believe in falsehoods instead.

He thinks that just posing him like a pharisee is enough, he thinks his chatgpt'd posts are worth something, he thinks that "works salvation theology" and wanting results is wrong and damned, while Jesus says that those that do not engage in charity go to hell, like the pharisees like anon:

“Then He will also say to those on the left hand, ‘Depart from Me, you cursed, into the everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels: for I was hungry and you gave Me no food; I was thirsty and you gave Me no drink; I was a stranger and you did not take Me in, naked and you did not clothe Me, sick and in prison and you did not visit Me.’
“Then they also will answer Him, saying, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?’ Then He will answer them, saying, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’ And these will go away into everlasting punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”
Matthew 25, 41-46

Absolutely not.

There have actually been people who used to dabble in new age and occult kind of practices, and they strongly warned against trying to achieve a "kundalini awakening". It's demonic.

You have once again proven yourself a deceiver - I remember you from my previous thread. You're not a Christian at all. It's sad to think that you may be someone who isn't even trying to intentionally deceive - that you're just lost in falsehoods, motivated by pride and an unwillingness to obey God's Word.

Isn't it strange how these antichrist types keep insisting on disparaging Jesus?

They don't like being told to be loving, righteous and obedient to God's Word. They would rather practice lawlessness, rebelling against their Creator, and remain in sin.
