Your own personal Jesus

I'll make you a believer
Take second best
Put me to the test
Things on your chest
You need to confess
I will deliver
You know I'm a forgiver
Reach out and touch faith

"Personal Jesus" is a song by the English band Depeche Mode, released in 1989. The lyrics are about a person who is feeling lost and alone, and is looking for a spiritual guide or mentor. The chorus "Reach out and touch faith" is a call to action, urging the listener to seek out a higher power or belief system to find meaning and purpose in their life. The phrase "Your own personal Jesus" refers to the idea that we all have our own unique way of making sense of the world, and that we should embrace it rather than trying to conform to others' expectations.
The second verse of the song is addressed to the listener directly, with lines like "Feeling unknown, and you're all alone/Flesh and bone, by the telephone". This creates a sense of intimacy and connection, as if the singer is speaking directly to the listener and empathizing with their struggles. The bridge is also notable for its use of repetition and variation, with the line "I will deliver/You know I'm a forgiver" emphasizing the idea that we can all be saved and forgiven for our mistakes.
Overall, "Personal Jesus" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that speaks to the human desire for guidance, connection, and meaning. Its combination of catchy, upbeat music and deep, introspective lyrics has made it one of Depeche Mode's most enduring and popular songs.

GUYS PRAY FOR SAM AND COLBY THEY BEEN DECEIVED BY DEMONS AND ARE IN DANGER THEY ARE YOUTUBERSโค
God wouldnt allow souls to be trapped on earth, its umbilical and never happened all souls belong to God, so you cant sell your soul to the devilโค
And not everyone is a child of God jesus said it himself youre of your father the devil and your desires are to do his will true children of God are the ones who have been born again spiritually and repented from sinโค
So many people say they love God, but most of them never repented from sin and have a personal relationship with him, and love isnt just a feeling love is doingโค
Familiar spirits are demons
well if I'm wrong I wasted nothing because I got peace and joy from him, but if you're wrong you wasted your entire life!! โค๏ธ๐ And demons love when people believe that lie that God doesn't exist and they love it when people don't know they are there โคI copy n paste this everywhereโค
And no one talks about repentance, God will never lower his standards to be okay with your sins, sins is very serious in the eyes of God hes holy and righteous and it seperates us from himโค
Demons exist, and the devil comes to steal kill and destroy and uses people to do soโค
Btw telling the demon to stay doesnt do anything unless you have the holy spirit you arent safe.
People: okay please stay this is your placeโค
Demon: okay
People: *leaves*
Demon: *Goes with them anyway*
Demons arent gonna make it obvious they are there so yeah.
Demons are fallen angels that uses the form of our passed away loved ones to make us believe ghost exist and the souls of the person we knew still remains hereโคโค
Astrology is demonic before my relationship with God I would always do zodiac signs literally just a bunch of sins put into each one I bet if everyone was sinless zodiac signs wouldn't make sense and literally a cover up for demonsโค
Hearts are deceitful above all things, listen to Godโค
Depression can be a demon you may need deliveranceโค
God said unless you're born again spiritually u will not enter the kingdom of heaven also God doesn't judge us by our good works he's judging us by our sins Gods standards are so high he's that HOLY saying oh my God is using Gods name in vain it's called blasphemy โค
To get to heaven you must believe with all your heart that Jesus died and rose again paid full price for your sins repent and receive his Holy spirit.

Now like a theif robbing a store, demons won't make it obvious they are there unless they have to.
Now know you can't save yourself Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life
You have insurance on your house if it ever caught on fire which rarely happens but when it comes to your soul, you play with it like you have forever to make your choice which you don't
150k+ people Die everyday and you never know when it may be you
God spent 9 months shaping and forming you before you were born but only 7 days on earth you're fearfully and wonderfully made beautiful in the eyes of Godโค
Don't waste time Hearts are deceitful above all things ask God for wisdom and understanding we are just tiny humans with a 3 pound brain and our imaginations cannot go beyond what we already knowโค
Your souls is so valuable both Satan and God want it but it's your choice who you will serve
You serve the devil when you
Lie
Hate
Blasphemy
Disobey
Lazy
Gossip
Gluttony
Wanting what others have cause what God has for you is for you he will never deliver your male to someone else's house
Hate
And unforgivness
And cussing murder and more
And once you die, you're locked with your choice of where you're spending eternity God doesn't care about you doing more good then bad cause he's not judging that God never said that's the way to heaven
So who's lying you or God? Be serious about thisโค
God is holy and righteous God is love
So either you would play around because you don't believe hell exist or you don't believe you're going there but the bible makes it very clear
The path to destruction is wide and easy many are on it the path to eternal life is hard and nerrow very few find it and to get into heaven u can only enter through the nerrow gateโค
You dont have to wait until you die to know if youre going to heaven you can know right now 100% where youre goingโค
Satan doesnt rule hell this is a myth when lucifer known as satan now became prideful and rebelled against God he took many angels with him Demons are fallen angels we live in a spirital and physical world so hell was made for punishment for satan and his angels and the reason why people go there is because they Align themsleves with the devil in SIN!
Sin separates us from God and the wages of sin is death if youre found guilty with one sin on judgment day you will not enter the kingdom of heaven so the thing is We us humans broken Gods law and jesus paid the fine! So the good news is you dont have to go to hell if you accept him as your lord and savior!
God offered us eternal life as a free gift and you receive it by faith! You dont have to work for it you dont have to pay all you have to do is receive it by faithโค
Don't expect Gods best when you always give him your least don't reject him anymore let him come in and change your lifeโคโคโคโคโคโคโคโคโคโคโคโคโคโคโค
