i feel this a lot of the time. I love talking to God, i talk to him for a lot longer then i realise sometimes. But the guilt i feel when i talk to him, knowing that day i thgouht of him then a second after gossiped about someone, or gave into my desires. The time i didn’t lower my gaze eats at me in prayer. I feel as if im not worthy to even talk to God anymore. Am i right to be feeling like this, the guilt i have for sinning eats at me when i pray. Is this normal? Does anyone else experience this?

Today there are far too many monstrous Christians who trivialize their own sins, grow increasingly bold in them, or even go further to justify their sins and turn such shamelessness and brazenness into a form of faith. When you say that you converse with God, it is in fact a spirit that acts like God, not the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God works only in those who live the life of a true Christian.
Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.(Exodus 20 : 7)
Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.(1 John 2 : 15~17)
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a friend of the world is the enemy of God.(James 4 : 3~4)
Because they pursue the flesh and seek only their own happiness, success, and blessings, those who spend their entire lives praying merely for health problems, family problems, business problems, workplace problems, relationship problems, and children’s problems are in fact worked by Satan masquerading as God, and by the devil disguising himself as a Christ. God is love. Those in whom God works do not commit sin. Everyone who commits sin is a servant of sin, and those who continue in sin belong to the devil, as it is written in the Word. The children of God are set free from sin. If sin is being repeated, then the reality of the god you believe in is none other than a god of lust, or a god of materialism, or a god of greed, or a god of this world, or a god of the flesh. It is but a masquerade pretending to be God.
But God be thanked, that ye were the servants of sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was delivered you. Being then made free from sin, ye became the servants of righteousness. I speak after the manner of men because of the infirmity of your flesh: for as ye have yielded your members servants to uncleanness and to iniquity unto iniquity; even so now yield your members servants to righteousness unto holiness. For when ye were the servants of sin, ye were free from righteousness. What fruit had ye then in those things whereof ye are now ashamed? for the end of those things is death. But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.(Romans 6 : 17~23)
The majority of Christians claim to believe in God, yet they seek only the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes. Thus, it is inevitable that the god of lust, masquerading as God, is at work. Those who seek material things are in fact led by the god of materialism; those who seek lust are led by the god of lust, both appearing as though they were God. The purpose for which God created mankind was that, through the sins born of the flesh, humility might be brought forth. In other words, the truth is to lead us to receive the power of God that alone can put to death the members and habits by which sin is repeated. But through sermons that exalt only words and theories—through a lifetime of awakenings, resolutions, and determinations—man, bound by the limitations of human nature and the habits and members of the flesh that generate repeated sin, can never be truly born again, renewed, or transformed. Christians, therefore, are nothing more than religionists, not true disciples of Christ.
Because they seek only their own happiness, belonging to the world and the flesh, they all believe in God while clinging to the world and materialism, thus creating and believing in every kind of corruption, heresy, and falsehood. Truth is the divine power revealed in the love of God. It is the role of God’s shepherd to lead people to receive that power. The preaching that exalts only words and theories is the common limitation of all religionists, and it is the same as the limitation of all humanity. Therefore, the cycle of sinning and repenting, sinning and repenting again, is the inevitable yoke of sin and the limitation of man, whether one is an unbeliever or a follower of any religion.
For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.(1 Corinthians 4 : 20)
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:…(Colossians 1 : 10~14)
Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away. For of this sort are they which creep into houses, and lead captive silly women laden with sins, led away with divers lusts, Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.(2 Timothy 3 : 5~8)
When comparing one who takes up his cross and follows after the love of Christ, setting the hope of Christ as his goal, with one whose faith is born only of lust and greed, chasing after his own happiness, blessings, and success—what, then, is the reality of your faith? I ask you: according to the Word of Scripture, are you living a life that shines as the beautiful light of Christ and serves as salt, an example and model to others? Or are you becoming instead a monster, repeating sinning and repenting, sinning and repenting again, until you no longer even feel the pangs of conscience? Faith that no longer senses the reproach of conscience is faith whose conscience has grown desolate; such faith increasingly treats sin lightly, grows bolder toward sin, and ultimately rationalizes and excuses sin with shamelessness and brazenness.
There is none who understands that the conscience is the spirit. That the conscience is seared and becomes desolate means that the spirit itself is dying away. There are none who teach, and none who learn, that the conscience is the spirit. Yet your conscience is crying out. You are left to live a continuous life of deprivation, emptiness, and anxiety. Every value at work before you is being wrought by Satan.
But in the love of God, truth is warm, gentle, and filled with thanksgiving, always leading to a life that seeks love upon the path of love. A double-minded life, however, in which thought and conduct are divided, is a hypocrisy that pretends to holiness, pretends to kindness, pretends to goodness, while one’s actions within the church differ from those outside, while the outward and inward self, word and deed, are not the same. Christians even deceive their own consciences through such detestable duplicity and cunning tactics, showing that they are not true disciples of Christ. If you are not living a life worthy to be an example and model as the light and salt, then your faith is a dead faith; and with Satan at work in you, you are nothing more than a child of the devil.
Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin.(John 8 : 34)
Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. Little children, let no man deceive you: he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as he is righteous. He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for his seed remaineth in him: and he cannot sin, because he is born of God. In this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother.(1 John 3 : 6~10)
Repent. If you truly desire to be born again, changed, and transformed in the love of Christ, then read and refer to the book Moses’ Burning Bush and the book concerning The Day of Judgment(Author : Yo Han Lee). Judgment is at your very doorstep.
