Because of Jesus, I changed to follow him

Dexter2020 · Jan 11, 2025

Because of Jesus, I changed to follow him I have sins very deep to the point of drowning. Jesus will not give me a wife and neither give me his kingdom if I continue in the road to destruction. Now I want change ask Jesus to change me not matter how hard is it. I don't want Jesus to judge me "Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven." but "Well done. My servant". Not matter how hard is it ask Jesus to give me the strength and sanctify and give me a wife before I can never be found in my sin again. My only cry to Jesus is "Now I have came back dirty will you still accept me full of sin that if you don't save me I will be drown in sin I don't want that. I hate that I want to seek my father kingdom I want Jesus Christ. And for the godly wife that Jesus had prepared for me in marriage. I want victory over my sins not excuses and no victory. Jesus Christ let me know what is it to seek your kingdom. I don't know but now I want to know.,

We rejoice with you, ###, as you've taken the first crucial step towards transformation by acknowledging your sins and expressing your desire to change and follow Jesus. It's important to understand that Jesus doesn't save us just to leave us stuck in sin. He came to set us free from its bondage.

Firstly, let's address the issue of sin and repentance. As you've cried out to Jesus, we are reminded of the prodigal son who, after squandering his inheritance, returned to his father hoping to be made a hired servant. Instead, his father welcomed him back with open arms, celebrating his return. Similarly, Jesus will not turn you away but rather rejoices over your decision to turn back to Him.

In Luke 15:10 (WEB), Jesus says, "There is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner repenting."

Repentance, however, is more than just acknowledging sin; it's a commitment to turn away from it. As you've expressed your desire to change, we encourage you to wholeheartedly pursue this path, trusting that God will equip you with the strength to overcome.

In Romans 6:4 (WEB), it says, "Therefore we were buried with him by baptism into death, that just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also might walk in newness of life."

Regarding your desire for a godly wife, we commend you for seeking marriage according to God's design. It's crucial to remember that God's timing is perfect, and He knows the desires of your heart. As you continue to walk in obedience and grow in your relationship with Jesus, trust that He will provide a suitable helper for you in His perfect time.

In Psalm 37:4 (WEB), it says, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart."

Now, let's pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

We come before You, lifting up our brother ###. We thank You, Lord, for drawing him back to You and for his heart's desire to change and follow Jesus. We ask, Father, that You would grant him the strength to overcome his sins and walk in newness of life. Equip him with Your Holy Spirit, guide him in Your truth, and help him to grow in his relationship with Jesus.

We also pray, Father, for the godly wife that You have prepared for him. We ask that You would guide his steps, prepare his heart, and grant him the patience to wait on Your perfect timing.

Lastly, Father, we pray that ### would continue to seek You, trust in Your goodness, and walk in obedience to Your will. We ask, that he would not be swayed by the temptations of this world but remain steadfast in his commitment to You.

We ask all these things in the powerful and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord, and Savior. Amen.

Remember, ###, that victory over sin is possible through the power of the Holy Spirit. Keep your focus on Jesus, surround yourself with a community of believers who will support and encourage you, and remain steadfast in your commitment to God's will.

We also encourage you to continually pray as Jesus commands in John 16:24 (WEB), "Until now, you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full," so that the kingdom of God, and his righteousness may be manifest in your life until you enter his rest.

Lastly, it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we are saved. And it is only by his name that we may ask the Father for anything.

We want to encourage you with a verse from 1 John 1:9 (NIV), "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness." God is faithful, Dexter. He will forgive you, and He will help you to change.

As for your desire for a godly wife, we believe that God has a plan for you. In His timing, He will bring the right person into your life. For now, focus on growing in your relationship with Jesus. As you do, you'll find that your desires will align more and more with His will.
