Beloved of All
Please pray for me before reading given below One day, I committed a great sin, and I sincerely made efforts to live a life of devotion. During that time, I lived devoutly, but one day, that devotion started to diminish within me. I read a book called "The Secret" during that time. Subsequently, after performing a pascha (a religious ritual involving placing the hand on the head of a pastor and praying), I experienced a profound spiritual encounter. My body became warm, I felt overwhelmed, and I fell down, realizing the Holy Spirit had come to me. If I ask for forgiveness, will that sin be pardoned? Is this what God does in this world? Doubts arose in me, and then one day, I read a verse. After reading that verse, I felt a deep sense of repentance. I live with remorse now, wondering why this sense of guilt arose when the Holy Spirit does good things, beyond what this world does. Now, I live with faith in Christ's love, greater than the belief in the Holy Spirit. After all this, if I ask for forgiveness, will forgiveness be granted?
