Question
I'm Worried I might had blasphemy the holy spirit. I was urge to Curse at it in my mind and now I'm worried if God would ever Forgive me. I accepted Jesus at my church and I was crying and felt the Holy Spirit..Now I feel like the Holy spirit is not within me and I'm not bearing fruit. I also fall into temptation and I end up sinning..I'm not perfect and I'm wondering if theres still hope for me. I wish to serve God and be filled by the Spirit but I'm not sure if ill be accepted by God. I keep being disobedient and what I did to the Spirit. Maybe I wasn't his own to begin with

Answer
The bible speaks of mankind being on 2 roads; 1 that leads to eternal life, the other leads to eternal death. (Matthew 7;13,14)

If you were on the road to life & cursed the holy spirit you would have reason to be worried perhaps, but as it is, the born again christian faith is NOT on the road to life anyway, so what you do while outside of God's true religion is forgiven.

I would urge you to find the "road to life" in other words, the true faith, only then are you accountable for your actions.

After his conversion, the apostle Paul came to appreciate how perilously close he had come to committing the unforgivable sin. In his letter to Timothy, he acknowledged the great mercy that had been shown him and also indicated why he could be forgiven. We read: “I was shown mercy, because I was ignorant and acted with a lack of faith.” (1 Tim. 1:13)

You are also "ignorant" of God's purpose for the earth & mankind, so when you start on the road to life, it will be with a clean slate.

for further information about the true faith go to www.watchtower.org & request someone to call & study God's word with you free of charge.

all the best
