We are naturally used to ruling our own lives, but having God rule our lives makes life holy and good. God is a loving Father to all who call upon Him.
Father, I am a mess; please forgive me my sins and change me into the way You want me to be.
Cease to do evil, learn to do good.
Jesus will help you. He is the Vine and we are the branches. Abide in Jesus that we might produce good fruit.
The Lord is waiting for you. He is not willing that anyone should perish in Hell, but that all come to Repentance toward God thru Jesus Christ our Lord.
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Beloved Son, that whosoever believes, trusts adheres to Him should not perish but have eternal life. He that has the Son of God has life, but he that has not the Son of God shall not see life. The wrath of God abides on him.

“Behold, he is coming with the clouds, every eye will see him, and all peoples on earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen.
When we see Christ when He returns in the clouds with the saints and angels, we will mourn, every one of us because we will see like we have never seen before. We will know very deeply how we have not done right by Him.
So to minimize this mourning, we need to feed on God's word and allow the Holy Spirit to teach us God's ways. God will give us eyes to see the things of the Spirit of God. God will be pleased to show us things, eternal things that will thrill us in this vail of darkness called the world in which we live for now.
The Word of God is not understood without the Holy Spirit teaching us, and God is no respecter of persons. Men are respecters of persons. Men are respecters of the heresy de jour and tend to resist the Truth when it becomes uncomfortable. God is not in that. So come away and open the door Jesus is knocking on and allow Him in and sup with Him. Take His yoke upon you and learn of Him.
May God give us grace and mercy to see with spiritual eyes and choose this, and want this.

Antinomian Grace is more deadly than I realized.
If you believe in Christ, but believe you don't have to obey Him even though His yoke and burden are light and even though He suffered infinitely for you, what will stop you from receiving the mark of the Beast?
The pressure to receive the mark of the Beast will be enormous. Satan does not play, neither does he have a shred of compassion. He hates all humans, but especially those who follow Christ Jesus. When the test comes to serve Satan or get your head chopped off, the Bible says the Many will worship the Beast and the Few will not.
There is a famous so-called Bible teacher that teaches you can still repent after receiving the mark of the Beast. He is saying you can compromise and still be saved if you repent. The Bible says something totally different:
Revelation 14:9-11
And the third angel followed them, saying with a loud voice, If any man worship the beast and his image, and receive his mark in his forehead, or in his hand,
When you receive the mark, you will become so deceived that repentance will not be in your heart b/c strong demonic deception will accompany the mark. Do not, whatever you do, take the mark. God forbid. Eternal mistake; you cannot repent once you receive the mark.

The
same shall drink of the wine of the wrath of God, which is poured out
without mixture into the cup of his indignation; and he shall be
tormented with fire and brimstone in the presence of the holy angels,
and in the presence of the Lamb:
And
the smoke of their torment ascendeth up for ever and ever: and they
have no rest day nor night, who worship the beast and his image, and
whosoever receiveth the mark of his name.
When you receive the mark, you will become so deceived that repentance will not be in your heart b/c strong demonic deception will accompany the mark. Do not, whatever you do, take the mark. God forbid. Eternal mistake; you cannot repent once you receive the mark.
I implore you to stay true to Jesus Christ our Lord. Since we all have to die, we'd better choose to die rightly. If you take the mark of the beast, you will die wrongly and go to Hell forever and ever and ever and ever and ever... but you will still die.
Help me to die rightly Jesus. You are my help. I give thanks to you. I know some, perhaps many say we should encourage and not give such harsh or unbelievable words. Being justified by faith has a corresponding biblical walk attached to it, and frankly some dark warnings if we don't. I terrifically do not want bad things to happen to people. God is mighty, all mighty, a consuming fire, a dreadful God. It is a terrifying thing to fall into His hands. His understanding is off the charts, unknowable unless He reveals. He has revealed a lot to us. He is lovely, faithful, kind, merciful but woe to us who take His grace and excuse our sin. We need to fear God and depart from iniquity for our own good.
Principally we need to love God, to continue loving God.

Will the anti-christ ride in on the white horse of Islam?
Will a benign form of Islam take over the United States one day soon? Benign at first until it is established. Then it will turn deadly toward the only true resistance left: True followers of Jesus Christ.
Something will change in these United States, and religious freedom will be ended. Even one of our past U.S. presidents said we are not a Christian nation. It is not truly religion that will end, but just the hated gospel of Jesus Christ. They will pass laws that effectively make following Christ illegal.
We are spoiled. Since when has the gospel of Jesus Christ been accepted by the world, really!
The Anti-Christ will come and as we get closer they will "legally" shut down all witness for Jesus Christ. Are we wimps that draw back in panic, or do we walk in the Spirit and obey Jesus Christ?

Many run around thinking they are saved because they accepted Jesus Christ one day in the past, and they believe grace excuses sin, and so continue sinning.
Repentance is a revolution. It is an overwhelming wrenching away from the power of the flesh and its overpowering lust by the ability of God working His Sanctification into us. Repentance is ceasing sin, by GRACE. Period. I was this, but now I am that, by the grace of God. I was a sinner, but now I am following Jesus, feeding on his Bible daily, and examining myself daily, determined to keep doing that to the very end, by the grace of God..
We SO-CALLED "Christians" worship idols instead of the Lord: Idols of money; idols of entertainment, idols of success, idols of rising the corporate ladder, and many other temporary things of this life, that mean nothing after we die, BUT IN THIS LIFE WE ELEVATE THINGS ABOVE GOD.
These worldly things have no value in eternity. None. So why do we spend so much time worshiping this stuff? "I don't worship this stuff!, you say. Oh yeah? How much time do we spend on this "stuff"? How much time do we spend praying, reading the bible, handing out gospels of John as the Lord leads? How much time do we spend watching TV, go to movies and events.
God's grace does not excuse sin. Antinomian grace cancels sin so we don't have to worry when we sin. We have a fee ticket to sin. The grace of God gives us this freedom. This false grace leads to Hell. The grace of God is power to abandon sin, not to excuse it.
Don't you hear the Word of God?
Titus 2:11-14 WE ARE TRAINED BY SAVING GRACE
11 For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men, 12 teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly in the present age, 13 looking for the blessed hope and glorious appearing of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ, 14 who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from every lawless deed and purify for Himself His own special people, zealous for good works.
The narrow gate is narrow, and the path is difficult. We are to yoke up with Jesus and stay with Him forever. When we slip up and sin in some fashion, we confess it and repent of it by His power. Period. This is what a real Christian does by the grace of God. He hates sin and wants nothing to do with it, but he never forgets he still has a flesh nature. Keeps him humble, AND DEPENDENT ON GOD.
BEWARE! SATAN always presents temptation to sin as something desirable. Stay in God's word and sin will appear to you awful, as it really is.
