living sacrifice

My path of faith did not come from wanting to be healed from illness, from wanting to see the miracles of casting out demons, or from eating bread to get my fill; The punishment I deserved pardoned my sins, freed my soul from death, and started a new life.

At that time, I was really grateful to this God. Whether I was reading the Bible or praying, I could truly touch Him, and my prayers were often answered.

At that time, he cared about my poor condition and didn't bother with me about many things. He was the one who was patient with me, far more than I was patient with Wang Xuanhuan.

Thank the Lord, if I hadn’t met Wang Xuanhuan, I wouldn’t know how painful it is to endure someone because of love; I also wouldn’t know that it doesn’t matter whether the person who loves and is loved is worthy of being loved, love is the one who loves own character.Before the Lord, I really feel that I am not worthy at all.

I have experienced this kind of patience myself, and I have personally experienced it. How painful it is, but the Lord has endured me for 30 years. What a great love this is!

He loves me not because I am cute, but because of his own goodness.

But the human heart is deceitful.

Obviously, God had to perform such a miracle in order to save me. This is really a great grace for me.

However, after experiencing such a miracle, it gradually became a topic of conversation for me.Because no one else has it, but I have it.

Of course, this matter itself is strange, but I have slowly turned it into my bragging capital in front of people.

I already know that God is not pleased with proud people, but when people are proud, do you know it?

In fact, people know it, but I have lived in sin for too long. Although my conscience accused me, I still refused to listen to the reproach with such a grandiose reason as “I am preaching the gospel and bearing witness.”

I posted this on the forum.

There are many impurities in my heart.I want to know how many Christians are like me. I want to know if my experience is so unusual. I want to know if God loves me so much that he is so determined to save me?

In fact, the cause of this matter is God!god!god!

But when you come to me, you become me!I!I!

I didn’t expect that there was a person who spoke resolutely and replied to me under the post: “How can you prove that you heard the voice of God? What if the devil comes to deceive you? I advise you to repent.”

I posted this post to show off my superiority, but this message made me furious.

I didn’t have much contact with Christians before, and the Christians in my impression were kind and polite people who were especially willing to do good deeds.This is the first time I have encountered a Christian who speaks so aggressively.In fact, to be honest, the other party's words were not "aggressive", but I couldn't listen to opinions that were different from mine at the time. I had just been baptized, but in fact I didn't have any life at all.

My boss is very "polite", that is, the kind of hypocritical person who "gives respect to your ancestors for eighteen generations in his heart, but is very polite on the surface".I was very upset with the way he spoke in my heart, but I answered him politely: "I really have no way to prove it, because I didn't ask who it was at the time."

He immediately replied to me: "The Bible says: 'Dear brothers, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. The spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ came in the flesh is from God; by this you know the Spirit of God. Every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the demon. You once Hearing that he is coming, he is already in the world.' There are many spiritual predecessors who have tested charismatic people, and 90.00% of them belong to the devil. I advise you to check carefully and don't be fooled. And your church , it seems that there is a big problem. I will pray for you, and ask God to help you grow."

This made me very angry when I heard it, and I thought that although I am not a good person, I am not so bad as to worship the devil.He even said that I have an evil spirit and that I am a false prophet. Doesn’t that make me angry?Moreover, our church is also very good, but their so-called orthodoxy speaks so rudely to people, and they still say that they have good fruits?

I thought about it for a long time, and replied him with restraint: "Thank you."

After a while, he left me another message: "I think you are probably a lamb who just believed in the Lord. Please forgive me for speaking in a bad tone. But the current situation is very chaotic. to be so curious about things in the world because it is really dangerous. Ask God Himself to lead you."

From his later reply, I saw that he was not malicious, but I didn't like this person very much, so I didn't reply again.I thought it was quite strange that I could hear voices from the spirit world.But I also felt that when people came to ask me about the situation at that time, my heart would swell. I knew that kind of swell was not good, and I was really afraid that I would attract evil spirits, so I stopped doing it later. Bring it up.

Even if I don't intend to mention it myself, this kind of thing doesn't end there, it kicks off a year-long struggle.

Although I made up my mind not to speak on the Internet anymore, I couldn't help my heart swell, and I wanted to search other people's posts on the Internet, and I wanted to find my "similar".I searched carefully on the Internet for a question: voices from the spirit world.It doesn't matter after such a search, I suddenly found that many people have heard the voice of the spirit world.

I suddenly found it very motivating, especially one of the girls whose texts were the most comforting to me.

She said, "You are the only Christian who dares to listen to my voice in the spirit world. When people hear me talk about this topic, they are scared to death."

I said, "Because I have also heard voices from the spirit world. They don't believe it, maybe because not everyone can experience such a thing."

"I've found that really this topic is very frowned upon among Christians."

"why?"

"I think it may be that they have little knowledge. In fact, there is nothing special about the spiritual world. My master met God when he was cultivating immortals. He was lifted up to the third heaven by God and saw many things in the dark kingdom. Later, he left the sect. The door believed in God."

I was startled: "Cultivating Immortals? Is it true or not? Like in the novel?"

"Of course the novel is a bit exaggerated. Our exercises are not that powerful. But apart from the exaggeration, everything else is basically the same. When we meditate and practice, we can often go to the spirit world. A world of flowers and flowers that is more prosperous than this world."

"What does the spirit world look like?"

"Pavilions, pavilions, caves, treasures... are really similar to those in games and novels. My master and I accidentally went to a cave during a practice, which was supposed to be the place where our seniors left treasures. We After going through a lot of hardships and many dangers, when we finally arrived at the cave, we found that there was a lone soul with a lot of grievances who wanted to kill us. I joined forces with the master to defeat him, and later found out that he turned out to be the senior of our sect. Senior When he was about to die, he told us that, in fact, our group of people has been connected for several generations and no one has been able to achieve true results, because the gate of heaven was closed. Later, my master and I checked a lot of information. Finally, after the master met God, we discovered that we were originally The layer where it is should be the second heaven, and there is another sky above that, where God is.”

"What does the gate of heaven mean?"

"Originally, our ancestors could indeed reach the gate of heaven through practice, but I think something major happened later. The gate in the sky was closed, and our descendants could no longer pass through the original way of practice. Arrive at the other side of the gate. If the master hadn’t been raised by God, we wouldn’t know that there is so much darkness hidden inside.”

"Jesus said that he himself is the door, and those who do not come in through the door are robbers. Could it be... because Jesus was resurrected from the dead, the original door no longer exists, and he has become a new door, and everyone must come in through him. go in?"

"Um...you make sense. We should talk more in the future. I think you can explore many secrets of the spirit world with your brain and my experience in the spirit world."

So, I added this girl as a friend. Although she speaks a bit strangely, she sounds really interesting.It just so happens that I don't know much about the spiritual world, and it makes up for my lack.

But it turns out, I was naive again.
