Originally this post was Refining us into his image.  This is a testimony I shared a year ago but want to reshare it so in hopes it might help someone. First of all I wanted to share that as a Christian I fell from God’s grace and I fell hard. I attended a Bible believing church for many years, taught Sunday school, read my Bible, studied my Bible and thought I was just where I needed to be. Oh boy, that is where I got into such a terrible mess. I thought I couldn’t fall. I thought only someone that isn’t a real Christian could fall. Thats when I seen how far I could fall. I was at a breaking point in my life where I couldn’t seen a clear way out. I felt abandoned by God; the reason was because Satan had taken such a strong hold of me that I couldn’t see clearly. I knew I was in trouble but didn’t know how I got there. Now I do. I wanted to get as close to God as possible but Satan attacked me on every side.  Don’t ever ever think you are above falling.  Satan has been around a long time and he knows where he can creep in and confuse you.  Pray and keep praying that God would protect you and your family, and that he would keep you on the strait and narrow way.  Pray that he keeps your mind safely under his protection. Times are changing and more and more people seem to be turning from their beliefs and accepting things that are not Godly.  We really need to pray for our nation to turn back toward God.
