Ezekiel 22:30
“And I sought for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but I found none.”
Also Satan would love nothing more than to still your joy. He will use people who were your closest friends that want to bring up your past even though you have repented and changed your ways. These people claim christianity and knowing the scriptures says to forgive one another they want to bash you with your past. How sad. Honestly, if someone I used to be associated with called me up and said they have repented for their carnality I would rejoice with them and unite with them, not bring up their sins and bash them. I highly doubt one's salvation that does such a thing. I admitted I was carnal and have repented of that so I know I am forgiven even if others will not forgive me. I really pray for people that do not understand what repentance is and the forgiveness of God is. Which if they don't understand their probably not born again. I praise God that He is with me as I continue on this journey to Holiness and the things of the Lord.
