It has occured to me that I have not shared how i became saved and how God has changed my life. People may say, oh that's k-o Shelly Bob, we believe you, but its not okay. Satan has put so many false prophets on the earth that you don't know who's who anymore. You can't tell anything about abyone just by looking at them either. (But let's face it...every book gets a little boring if you look at the same cover all the time.)
Here's what I think.(And apparently Paul did too.) But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preach to you, let him be eternally condemned. Galatians 1:8 If that doesn't stress the severity of false prophet-ing I don't know what does. And don't worry about me I assure you before God what I am writing you is no lie. (Galatians 1:20) You were called to be free (Galatians 5:13a) and here's my belief:
THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE
So here's the truth. And call me out on it if you believe it not so. I will gladly listen. But I warn you I am very sarcastically charming :) ANYWAY
I was saved when I was three. I felt God pulling me towards him in a way only children understand. And so I prayed the sinner's prayer ( i have things to say on this) and I was saved. But for the longest time I did not FEEL saved. So when I was ten, my preacher preached on fire and brimstone and hell and I got scared into rededication. And it's taken me almost 5 years to actually feel God's presence. (Yeah I turn 15 in...a month and a half!!!!) and now I know what he wants of me...I am gonna be a doctor. And i've found the guy I am most happy with...a baptist. But don't worry my life isn't all make believe. I have my depressing suicidal tendencies. But I remember what God promised me and I keep my sanity for just one more day. (FYI: God promised me a life in Heaven with him!!!) And that's my life.
Now about the "sinner's prayer" thing. I don't believe that God wants everyone to be saved using a stereotypical prayer. I think that he wants things that come from your heart. So I hate it when people say "just say this prayer and you'll be saved" like God gave them a revalation that it's only this prayer to get into heaven. That is so fake. Now I am a country girl both literally and in complete heart. I believe God likes people who put things simply and feel emotions. Not the robot people that feel nothing at all. And it's getting harder to find people who feel love and joy and pain. But it's even more painful when people claim they're Christians and people trust them and they break their trust. People remember that. And that's what I mean by False Prophets.
