		<description>So are you saying that blasphemy cannot be considered as a &quot;sin&quot;? 

What I am questioning is if that means that Jesus&#039; sacrificial death for us did not include the atonement for the &quot;Blasphemy&quot; part of our sinful nature. 

Thank you in advance.</description>

		<description>David, Comments can get confusing so let&#039;s just go straight back to the word of God.  We can be sure that what He says is true.  There are two passages that come to mind in your circumstance and they are these:

&lt;i&gt;&quot;For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.&quot;&lt;/i&gt; (Romans 8: 38-39)

and

&lt;i&gt;&quot;But he [Jesus] was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed.&quot;&lt;/i&gt; (Isaiah 53:5)

If you have asked Jesus to come in to your life and accepted that what He did for you on the cross is the only way to be right with God, then you are right with God.  I can&#039;t see how anything you or I could ever do would undo what Jesus did.  The whole point of Jesus&#039; sacrifice is that we don&#039;t have to fear Hell anymore. The Bible says that He has removed our sins from us as far as the east is from the west.  If you are a Christian your name is written in the book of life.  That&#039;s permanent. 

So my advice to you is this: Pray.  Go to God and tell Him your fears, claim the blood that Jesus shed for you.  The Bible says that if we confess our sins He is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and will cleanse us from all unrighteousness.  So claim that.  Know that you are forgiven.  Then go take a shower, grab something to eat and move forward rejoicing in the grace that is yours, keeping short accounts with God, and spending time in His presence - through prayer and reading the Bible - so that you will become more like Christ each day.  Satan comes to kill and destroy and he has lied to you to steal your peace.  Jesus&#039; sacrifice is enough, it&#039;s the only thing that could ever be enough.  Claim that and you can be sure that Hell is not your destiny.</description>

		<description>Yes i was reading the commits on blaspheming the holy spirit and and the root words containing to the meaning of blasphemy and I am really scared. Are the people&#039;s commits just opinions or truth.  I have been grieving for several days I haven&#039;t eaten anything or taken a shower because this is a real grieving crisis. I am scared to face god now? Did I blaspheme the holy spirit?  I don&#039;t want to go to hell.  I cried and I cried and I have nowhere to turn.  Can someone please help me. Thank you!!</description>

		<description>My desire for the below is to save a soul for the Kingdom.  If my story saves just one soul for the Kingdom of God, Lord Jesus Christ/Messiah Yeshua and from eternity in Hell then glory to God!

August 31, 2011, Wednesday

I am 28 1/2 years old (born December 07, 1982).  My name is Tracy S. Thompson and I was raised (and still live) in Pensacola, Florida, U.S.A.

I grew up in church - knowing and loving the Lord. At 12 1/2 I stopped attending, because my grandmother couldn&#039;t take me anymore. While I lost some interest in the Lord, I never lost love for Him.

In 2006 He began pulling me to Him.

In 2007 He began pulling me even closer to Him.

By 2008 I was back strong with Him.

In October 2010 I pursued sin (and had pursued it since the age of 16), something nonpositive happened. I went to the Lord and begged Him to fill me with Him love. And He told me not until you give up that lifestyle. So I said, &#039;Okay, Lord. I give it up.&#039;

In December 3, 2010, He baptised me with His Holy Spirit and gave me my first spiritual gift - Prophecy by interpretation of His Word.

Between December 2010 and mid March 2011, Lord Jesus Christ gave me somewhere between five (5) to six (6) (possibly 7) different spiritual gifts (Prophecy, Knowledge, Wisdom, Revelation, Seer, Tongue, Power Tongue).  And He gave me Stigmata (with the pain, not the blood, from the wounds).

In May of this year, I return to doing evil - I lusted with my eyes, heart, and mind after men and women though mostly women. I knew I was (defiantly) sinning and even did it with a smile on my face (I did not know about Hebrews 6:4-6, nor of the knowledge that willful/defiant/deliberate sinning could result in demon oppression/demon possession, reaching the-point-of-no-return with Holy Spirit.)  But since then I have repented and renouned unto the Lord both lusting and Homosexuality, and have completely turned from them both.

After two (2) weeks of lusting with my eyes, mind, and heart one day while at home (and I was just as wide awake then as I am now) I felt a presence enter into my eyes.

Then I felt the Holy Spirit leave me (though He has come back to me many times since, and I really felt Him very strong/and dwell in my spirit Friday, August 12).

Within 20 minutes I immediately knew what that presence was and why it entered through my eyes.

I went into a five (5) day fast and prayer.

On the third day of the fast and prayer, a portion of this presence literally broke off from my eyes and went through my mind and my neck. Went it entered my body I felt it multiply into many. That is the best way I can explain it. The presence just multiplied into many.

On the fifth day of the fast and prayer I could feel the entities just jumping in jumping in jumping in and jumping in. It was like they didn&#039;t want to leave.

Of course being tired after five (5) days of fasting and praying I discontinued the fast and prayer.

Two (2) days after the Lord came to me and I heard His voice. I was very familiar with His voice and quickly was able to distinguish it. (I was wide awake.) He was very strict and stern with me; and, He had every right to be.

He said to me, &#039;YOU WERE TOLD TO DEPART FROM EVIL.&#039;

About two (2) days later I heard the Lord come to me again and He said, &#039;And these words are true - you will not enter My Kingdom.&#039; Within seconds of this message the bible verse of &#039;And the works of the flesh are manifested and they are:  emulation, idolatry, fornication, adultery .... and those who practice such shall not inherit the Kingdom Of God.&#039;

About a day or two after this I went online and googled &#039;demon possession&#039; and came across an article that told how a person becomes demon possessed. And it basically told my experience word for word.

A week later, I believe the Lord came to me again. It was nighttime, I was asleep and the only person in the room. The Holy Fire (some call it the Fire Of God, others call it the Fire Of The Holy Spirit) came upon me and I immediately woke up. I heard what I believe was the Lord&#039;s voice and He said to me, &#039;I have come to you in many ways and have told you that you will not inherit My Kingdom.&#039;

A week later, the same thing happened. It was nighttime, I was asleep and the only person in the room. The Holy Fire came upon me and I immediately woke up. I heard what I believe was the Lord&#039;s voice and He said to me, &#039;Your presence isn&#039;t wanted in My Kingdom. You are an abomination.&#039;

All this happened in the month of June (from the time the demon entered my eyes (June 4th 2011) to the above message).

Since then I have received other messages (that were not good messages) with experiencing the Holy Fire. One of these messages was &#039;You belong to satan.&#039; Yes, it was nighttime, I was asleep, the only person in the room, and the Holy Fire came upon me and woke me out of my sleep.

Whenever I&#039;ve gone to the Lord asking Him for deliverance from this I began to feel the Holy Fire upon me, and sometimes it is both the Holy Fire upon me and feeling the Fear of God at the same time.

I don&#039;t feel the Lord&#039;s presence like I use to and I don&#039;t hear from Him, in great depth, like I use to. I am concerned that I may have lost my Salvation. I am concerned whether the Lord will deliver me or not.

I want deliverance (if the Lord Jesus Christ is willing - AND I PRAY HE IS!).

No one is born Homosexual, Lesbian, Bisexual.  The born -Homosexual/Lesbian/Bisexual theory is a lie from the pit of Hell.  I CHOSE at the age of 16 to like other females, because of how boys always treated me (very badly) and I had not ever had a strong relationship with a particular female relative (whom is still alive and I, out of respect for her, desire not to name).  And while I had like males my preference was for females, because of the aforementioned reasons.  There has been four (4) postive things that have come out of this experience.  My fear (of the Lord) and my desire to obey Jesus Christ&#039;s Word AT ALL COST is much stronger and greater than it has ever been in my entire life, my relationship with my (earthly) Dad grew even stronger than what it was before (and was strong even then), AND I absolutely desire women NO longer.  I am convienced beyond doubt that this sin, Homosexuality, is just an outright abomination to Him.

Ashamed, embarrased, fearful (of what others may think/say/feel/do) I will not be.  Again, if just one soul is saved and goes to Heaven by the reading of my story THEN SO BE IT.</description>

		<description>Have you asked for forgiveness Jose?  Did you talk to God and confess the anger and the hurtful words you said?  Have you turned away from that sin and turned back to God?  That is all evidence of the Holy Spirit at work in your life.  It is the Spirit&#039;s role to convict us of our sin (john 16:8.  However, it is Satan who is the one who accuses (Revelation 12:10).  Satan wants you to feel unforgiven so that you stop depending on the Holy Spirit.  If you have repented that is evidence that the Holy Spirit has convicted you and that He has empowered you to repent.  If you have responded to the Holy Spirit in your life than you have come to Jesus and He promises, &quot;The one who comes to Me I will certainly not cast out&quot; (John 6:37)  Don&#039;t let Satan rob you of the peace and joy of your repentance.</description>

		<description>It sounds like that dream really impacted you caprice2012.  Do you remember the story of Jonah?  God told him to go and tell the people of Nineveh that God was going to destroy them because of their wickedness.  When the people of Nineveh heard the message they were genuinely convicted of their sin and repented.  The result was that God withheld their punishment from them.

Jesus said that conviction of sin is the work of the Holy Spirit, &quot;When He comes, He will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment&quot; (John 16:8)  If you have felt the conviction of your sin then it is evidence that the Holy Spirit is working in your life.  He is not removed from you.  Just like the people of Nineveh, you have the opportunity to repent as well and receive forgiveness from God because of what Jesus Christ has done for you.  “If we confess our sins to him [God], he is faithful and just to forgive us and to cleanse us from every wrong.” (1John 1:9)  The Holy Spirit has convicted you and has called you to confession and repentance (that means turning your back on the wrong you had done and head for the right which God calls you to).  Accept His gift of forgiveness and be free from the guilt of your past.

Does that make sense?</description>
