Praise Report

Have You Ever Felt ‘Unsaved?’



I have , and I see it as a test, a trial, because sometimes I still do feel as if I ‘must quickly ’ do something in order to alleviate or get rid of the feeling of ‘unsavedness’. Like when Jesus was tempted in the desert. The enemy is subtle and sometimes I don’t realise whats happening, so the Lord shed some Light on this today, I realised to just leave it be and recognise its not me or mine and that I cannot ‘do’ anything in order to shift the unsaved feeling. It’s just the devil and his little game.



Today I realised what this scripture was saying.

I desire mercy not sacrifice, go and learn what this means. Matthew 9;13 NKJV

Praise The Lord!

Praise The Lord!

Jesus said, "I will have mercy and not sacrifice." Jesus did not come to destroy heart-felt sinners, but he came to show forth his mercy to those who feel their own sinfulness. They are his people, which he chose before the foundation of the world. They are the same people that he quickened into spiritual life when they were dead in trespasses and sin. Because of this quickening, they now feel themselves to be sinner. It is to these that Jesus has mercy... Just something I borrowed... I hope it helps... Brother Glen

Jesus did not come to destroy heart-felt sinners, but he came to show forth his mercy to those who feel their own sinfulness. They are his people
