can you say me it `? i repent if i did something wrong.

Hello Holy999,
I don't think you are evil!
God knows your heart so, rest in that...you WANT to do the right thing and you will. Just get to know His Word...even if you've read the same thing over and over again...keep at it and you will see!
my prayers are with you and your growth brother.

I think we are all evil, at least while in these bodies. Born evil to an extent. Not in the worlds eyes but in Gods eyes.

I think this earthly test is to overcome the evil through God within us. Emanuel. We are weak in these bodies. Sin rules over us and only Jesus can help us overcome.

Oh for sure. I feel like I am tested almost daily. And I always seem to be failing them. I was discussing this with my wife and told her I am always failing these tests. She said that I am still alive so I must be passing some of them. Don't get down on yourself if you have failed a test. This is life hard to say the least.

Hi Mantis,
Yes, we are tested daily, many times! If we aren't being tested by God allowing certain situations in our lives, we would not grow in faith. It's our reaction to what comes at us, I think, that matters to God.

Hi Nancy! Yes we do grow from them. I love when I get a test that I know I can pass. Sometimes you can just see the devil trying to snare you because he doesn’t see the growth. I just laugh when he tries something that would snare me a decade ago and has no power over me now!

Amazing isn't it? The changes that come! We have discernment then, we know and recognize his "wiles" right away :)
