Can GOD Forgive Me? by Akwasi(m): 3:11pm On Mar 15, 2012
Sometimes we can't help but think that there is no way GOD can forgive some of the things that we do. I am a Christian who is married to a Godly and virtuous woman. The LORD has been good to this family but I have done something very stupid which I think the LORD will look on me with disappointment.

About two weeks ago, my wife told me a revelation about me having an affair with two women. I was not in any relationship and because of the believe that I had that I was not fallible, I got complacent and treated it lightly.

Three days ago, the LORD gave me a revelation. In the revelation, I was having an affair with a lady and again, I ignored it and never even prayed against it because I believed I could not fall.

The next day, which was yesterday, I did the unthinkable. I slept with the very lady I saw in the dream and the way the thing happened is still a mystery to me. To make things worse, that was the very day that I had completed reading the Bible from cover to cover.

I prayed and cried to the LORD for forgiveness. I am just lost for words because just today, Thursday, I slept with another woman. Amazingly, that lady was one of the ladies my wife told me about.

This may sound dumb, but once again, I can say with all the little credibility left in me that I was caught by surprise. The shocking thing is that this lady told me about a dream that she had. Guess what, I was having sex with her!

All this seems like a dream and I can't believe my 'holy' life have come crashing down. I feel like crying but I believe that will be crocodile tears. I know there is only one way to this and that is to ask the ALMIGHTY to forgive me.

Please remember me in your prayers. I can't even bring myself to get on my knees to pray to the LORD. This is very very damaging to me.

I understand you brother. I will kindly advice the followings:

1. You need to ask God for forgiveness.
2. You need to forgive yourself, pick up yourself, encourage yourself in the word of God, "to go and sin no more"
3. Confess your sin to your wife. If you think she will not understand and pray with you, confess your sin to a Christian brother that will not blow your sins out. If you feel or think your wife will understand, confess your sin to her and both of you pray together. The sin of extra marital affairs in no joke if you value your christian walk. Your confession to your wife, might look difficult but do it and leave the rest to God to take care of it.
4. Continue in your praying and reading the word. God bless you brother.

In the first place, I do not agree with adultery.
I'm not because I believe that there must be full respect between spouses.
But I see you not as interested in his wife, for what you consider a sin.
In fact, all the great Hebrew patriarchs committed adultery.
In Noah's ark had 8 people, Noah, his wife, three sons and three lovers die. (Genesis 7:13.1)
Do not forget who commits adultery with Jacob Rachel
Abraham (the great Hebrew patriarch) with her ​​maid Hagar who got her pregnant,
David and Bathsheba (Second Book of Samuel 11:1 to 12:25)
Solomon had a harem with more than 1,000 women ...
All this is documented in the Bible, and God, has not only forgiven, but ended up awarding each of them.
Therefore, dear friend ... you have not left the girl pregnant, as did Abraham and some others .. have no doubt that God will forgive him.
Now, from here more ... I advise you to respect his wife.
My respects.

Anyways @poster, i believe you got tempted after succeeding in reading the whole bible. Ask God and your wife for forgiveness. But i don't think it is smart to confess you fell for the same temptation twice. God help you

Because 'born-again' poohsies/d-e-e-k-s are the dirrtiest you can find with all those 'anus' phocking going up and down, being mostly decendants of Sodom and Gomorrah who resurrected from bags of salts!

Re: Can GOD Forgive Me? by Nobody: 11:09am On Mar 16, 2012
Let him that thinketh he stands, take yield lest he falls. We need the grace of God to stand firm in Him.

It got little to do with how many times we read the bible from cover to cover. But, how diligently we obey the little we've read/read. Praying you receive grace to stay true to His word. Release yourself from guilt. Believe in God for cleansing and forgiveness. He is still in the business of forgiving us all our trespasses. smiley.

Mhhh. Yes, I agree.
Or to put it another way ...
Let God forgive brother ...!
Do it again and enjoy it, it will not be doing anything different from what they do most of the christians and pastors.
You can even add some dope, also alcohol, but do not forget the protection of condoms ...
As stated earlier the brother ... no worry... God forgives!
Then go to church, repent and done deal!
Re: Can GOD Forgive Me? by octavian(m): 5:30pm On Mar 16, 2012
He slow to anger and always willing to forgive.. God will forgive ur sins, but your punishment for adultery will be served.. Your punishment is to chastise you and make sin irritating to you, not to kill you cos our God is a loving father "Psalm 103:8". Go on your knees and stop the self-pity, "self-pity" is Lucifer's best tool to derail your faith.

Bros you are married, why are u fornicating? It's greed on your path and not the best..
Re: Can GOD Forgive Me? by frank317: 5:45pm On Mar 16, 2012
but come to think of it... two women in two days. this guy must be sharp. pls be honest with urself, do u think u will do it again? why do i have the feeling that u will do it again? honestly from down here you can't claim to be a born again for a long time and all of a sudden you sleep with two women in two days. guy who u de deceive? u are just guilty cause u have been cheating on this woman for a long time and u know u will do it again.
Re: Can GOD Forgive Me? by Sugardiva(f): 6:14pm On Mar 16, 2012
Ive had an experience where i did something extremely errible, something i never thot i would ever do afta going thru a phase when i was very close to God. As believers we need to understand that when we are close to God and read the bible more that is when the devil attacks us heavily with temptation because we are doing the opposite of what he wants us to do and since we are not expecting it we fall. So when u feel u are getting ur christian life right, dont get relaxed expect temptaions so that wit d help of d Holy Spirit u can overcome. Its like to be forwarned is to be foreaarmed. What to do now. Confess ur sin to God. He WILL forgive u, after all u never do reach wetin David do with Bathseba. Then Confess to Ur wife and pray with all ur might that she finds grace to forgive u. Aftawards, go and sin no more!

Exactly.
God forgives all.
As you say, God forgave David's infidelity, but God also forgave the infidelity of Solomon, Noah, Isaac, and many more ... The Christian God forgives absolutely anything ...
You do not worry friend Akwasi. Kneel, pray and God will forgive him.
The next time you commit adultery, you are charged a tithe of greater value, but will be forgiven ...
What message is being given to Catholics who follow the laws?
They are fools, because they lose the opportunity to forn.icate with two women in two days, enjoying the pleasures of life (which God never prohibited) for nothing, because God always forgives!
Congratulations Akwasi ... you enjoyed it, and kneel and pray one minute a couple of sentences is a low price ... to make you want to do it every day!
Next time do it on his knees, so you save time!
Nobody comes up to apologize to advise his wife and that there be an AIDS test?

Thank you very much my sis. I believe you understand me most on this. Forget about the atheists on this thread, but my fellow believers on this thread who are currently in right standing with the LORD, know that what Sugardiva said is the absolute truth. If you don't take heed, you will fall and be disgraced when you think you are closest to GOD.

As for me, I have moved on and I believe I have the forgiveness of GOD. I deserve any punishment for adultery that HE will give me because HIS judgment is always right. No matter what HE "throws" at me, HE will still be my loving FATHER and I will love HIM and worship HIM for the rest of my life. Although HE crush me, yet will I love HIM.

I will not allow the devil to celebrate this temporary setback so I refuse to live in self pity. The LORD has forgiven me and I am grateful.

Will I repeat the mistake? The answer is found in what I learnt from all this. I believed in myself to the extent that I thought I was untouchable. After what happened, I have realized that I am not better than the worst sinner but it is the grace of GOD that helps me out. I will never live a day without resting on HIS power and strength again.

Who knows why this happened to me? A "godly, self righteous guy" who had all the blessings of GOD and a beautiful wife? I believe as much as this was very bad (don't get me wrong, I am not trying to make any excuse), the LORD allowed it for my own good. Who knows where this "self-righteous and holier than thou" attitude would have led me?

I am now humbled and rather have pity on sinners, not being judgmental and all that. Guys, my GOD loves me. When HE slaps me with the left hand, to save me from self destruction, he pulls me back with HIS right hand to show HIS true love and willingness to admit me to HIS Kingdom.

Thank YOU LORD and from now on, I will never take another step without YOU. I am nothing without YOU LORD, save my weak soul!

dear friend:
The wife of "Akwa" was the first to know. She had a "revelation" . Thus warned, Akwasi, but he could not withstand the temptation of being with two women ...
I believe that divine justice would be that the woman was with two men Akwasi!

Now ... Akwasi says that God already forgave him!.
It's actually a wonderful god, a god who is able to forgive such horrible things as betraying an innocent wife, and having sex with two women within 24 hours ...

Now Akwasi may deliver a sermon at his church, explaining to the young Christians that sex is unclean to be virgins and must avoid the sin of the flesh (ajjjjjjj) wink

Now he can preach after tasting. I love these kinds of pastors who preach from experience, unlike Jesus who never touched a woman's cheek. ha ha ha ha ha ha
Having a revelation is different from having the revelation come true.wink
What was the point of the revelation?
To have it fulfilled? Like Jesus Christ coming to die for your sins or what?
Sounds like a bunch of born-again swingers to me o!wink
At least 'Pastor Akwasi' can tell the difference from one poohsie and another. No experience is wasted you know?
He also know which one is sweeter. Mu he he he he he

Oh well, prophesy fulfilled. Everyone is happy now. I have retired too even though I do not work in the "LORD". . . me and "Pastor Akwasi" have come full circle in adultery. . . TA NU JAAAAH!!!!cheesy

Great entertainment.
Re: Can GOD Forgive Me? by Sugardiva(f): 11:38pm On Mar 16, 2012
@ Akwasi u are right. I'm very happy u have learnt the very lesson I learnt frm my own experience. Holiness is not by our power but by His grace. Pls also try to let ur wife know abt this. I knw its a hard decision 2 make coz u sound like u really love her and respect her but it is the right thing to do.
Pray hard that she finds grace to forgive. It is well my brother. Our spiritual maturity comes from painful experiences like this.

Ignore all the atheists making jest of ur experience. They dat walk in d flesh can never understand d things of d Spirit. They don't understand what it means to worship the ALMIGHTY God and love Him. It is an amazing priviledge.
