If you still have that draw from the Father, you aren't reprobate , yet. I personally feel that you have been in the wilderness, and the Lord is bringing you out, for your ministering in these last days....
It won't be easy......just keep your mind on Him, and do what you see you can do. SHARE, the gift (s) inside you.....And above all, learn the mind of God , and OBEY what He urges you to do !
PEACE... Kieth
I had to come back and edit : This is the very first time I have seen ALL sincere answers to a question ! That in itself is a miracle ! No trolls, no agnostics, no atheists. Could THAT be a sign to you ?!
PEACE, Kieth

I would love to help you with this. The lord is a wonderful God and a merciful one too. Since you are asking this question it shows that the Lord is still by yourside. I to have gotten saved and when back to my old habits and thought that I would never feel the presence of the Lord again, but with loving friends and family I have the support that I need to help me throught this hard time. Satin is always at work and he works his hardest when you are getting right with the Lord. Here are some suggestions:
Read the word and pray before and after
Everytime you feel like doing something that God would not want you to do Pray and ask his to help you, he will God promised that he would deliever us from evil. God is a forgiving God and yes God will forgive you, but there will come a time when you have rejected the holy spirit and when you do that it is the same as rejecting God and when that happpens you have gone so for that you wouldn't even care if you make it to heaven or not. But like I said since you are asking this question the Lord is still with you. Remeber no sin is greater than the other. Sin is Sin so think What would Jesus do.
Here are some verses that you can memorize and read when you need help, assurance, and forgiveness. Peace.
Psalm 51:1-12
Psalm 32:1-8
Matthew 21:22
John 8:10-11
James 1:12-15
Titus 3:3-6
1 John 1:7-10, 2:1-3
Hebrews 4:14-16
May the Lord Bless you and I will keep you in my Prayers. Please email me if you would like to talk mbonner@yahoo.com.

The fact that you regret your sin and are concerned about your status with God means that the Holy Spirit is convicting you. Conviction is good because without conviction there is no feeling of guilt. Guilt is a warning sign that something is wrong. God is not going to leave you----he promises never to leave or forsake the believer. Every Christian backslides---it is a part of the purification process. If your heart had become hardened, then you would not have these feelings of guilt. Pray about this and stay away from those areas that you know are a problem and this includes the people. It is people that cause you to fall, not things. God bless you, brother, and keep the faith. Jesus loves you.

Question, How did God create the world? ...He spoke it into existance. Question: How did God "fix" the sin problem? ...He spoke is into existance.
You were created with a purpose. As long as you are alive, you have that purpose....and God has to tell you what it is.
Question: Do you know your purpose? Have you asked God what it is? ....You will not be able to "feel" God's presents unless you are doing what He created you to do.
Hint: It will have something to do with the Laws that govern you...Love God with all your heart....and love your neighbor as yourself.
Hint: Christianity is about giving yourself away. Love is what a parent does for an infant with dirty diapers at 3 in the morning. Parents get out of bed without screaming at the kid, change the diaper even when the baby protests, and loves on the baby till the baby falls alsleep.
If you would consider that God loves you with or without the dirty diaper you have described above, then you will know how to help others who God placed in your path.
Understand you will take baby steps at first and don't beat yourself up if you fall down. While God is perfectly able to care for you, is there a believer you can talk to? Pray that God would give this person the answer you need face to face.

God will forgive all sins. Is your heart completely hardened? Not since you are asking this question. It is a journey to get right with Him again but it is the best thing you can do. You know it and He knows it. Repent and be baptized. Get back into that relationship with the Lord. Amen brother and Peace out.........

I don't believe it's ever too late. What you describe as a hardened heart may be a sense of guilt. God, through Jesus, always forgives, no matter the indescretion, if you are sincere. Sins should be cast way out into the ocean with a "No fishing allowed" sign.

Ezekial tells us to turn from our wickedness, and walk in obeidiance to God's word, then we are found righteous. None of us are perfect; our sin nature is very powerful- it is to go against our human nature, that is why it's a struggle. God sent Jesus to give us atonement for sin. He paid the price for us. If we believe, even when we fall away, and back into our old nature, we have God right there, ready and willing to forgive us, and to walk us into the goodness and right filled living that He intended for us to experience. I do not believe that a person can ever walk so far away, that God cant find them. Now, you said that you are a child of God that has walked in rebellion. That is why you cant hear Him. You made the choice that you were going to try things your way; now you need to repent. He loves you, andHe is patient and just to forgive. Now, there may be consequences to your actions, and you'll still have to deal with them,but you can trust in the Father to help you knowthe right things to do,, if you have made the choice to walk in obeidiance and repented. Ive done, I think we all have. It is so lonely when you realized your so far from Him. Go back, He is waiting!

First John 1:9 " If we confess our sins, He is faithful, and just to forgive us our sins, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
If it is in your Heart to do right, He hasn't "Hardened your Heart". In Chapter 2 verse 1 of First John it uses the words "Advocate", and "Propitiation". The word, "Advocate" means Jesus stands before The Father pleading our case, the word ,"Propitiation" means Jesus took our place in Gods Judgment, so we don't have to. He is on your side, He is full of mercy, and loves you. God Loves YOU, He really does ! The fact that you are concerned proves that you are OK, God will Forgive you, just go to Him in a humble, repentant spirit.
Be Blessed in Christ Jesus !

If you want to follow God, and you want to love God, then he won't reject you just because of mistakes. Mistakes = sin and that's why Jesus died - for sinners like you!
When I feel "hard" I tend to praise, praise, and praise God some more.
Theologically, Pharaoh didn't just get involuntarily hardened by God, when he wanted to follow God. He had no fear or reverence for God, he was going to back down simply out of weakness. "Hardened" in Hebrew also means "strengthened." I think God just gave him the courage to do what he wanted to do in the first place - oppose God and murder / enslave his people. Pharaoh had an evil and proud heart. He was not just a normal sinner who really wanted to follow God!

Some of it's entirely made up- the declare that every body who did not vote for Obama voted for racist motives is solely foolish. Where I are living, it does not look to be a significant main issue, however I understand it could be very severe in different materials of the nation. I feel the race-baiters (i.e. Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton) are very hazardous, despite the fact that.
