Is it possible for me to take my life back after I have turned it over to the Lord of all creation, the King of Kings, the Alpha and Omega?

Who has the power to snatch that life from God’s hand?

No one, of course, can snatch anything from God's hand. That, however, is not the question. The question is simple: "Is everyone's faith genuine?" If the answer is "no", then it should propel us to some soul-searching. I hear all the time that Christians want preachers who "step on their toes." What do they mean by that? I think they mean that they want their pastor to force them to look at their lives.

Is it possible for you to take a wrong direction even though you are a believer? See below:

Galatians 1: 6I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel;7which is really not another; only there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ.8But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!9As we have said before, so I say again now, if any man is preaching to you a gospel contrary to what you received, he is to be accursed!

10For am I now seeking the favor of men, or of God? Or am I striving to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a bond-servant of Christ.

No one.

"If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of GOd. Set your affections ON THINGS ABOVE, NOT on things on the earth. FOR YE ARE DEAD, AND YOUR LIFE IS HID WITH CHRIST IN GOD." Col. 3:1-3.
