(Comments by Joan Boney: This is a "follow-up" letter after I spent multiple days and many hours on phone counseling Sandra Chupik on spiritual matters.)

Sandra:
I really was a little sad and grieved over you yesterday. But of course glad to finally establish you really are born again. (by radio story which you told me)
***
I'm concerned over your display of failure to recognize when devil is speaking and when God is speaking.
***
Your rush to be righteous is "killing you". Let your way be established by God bringing thoughts to establish previous thoughts.
***
Speed reading through the Bible and Blog will avail nothing and will even damn you according to I Corinthians 11:29.
***
We must carefully take each concept, see if we are doing that in our life, and if not, start applying scripture daily to our life making scripture live in us by doing it .
James 1
22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
***
💥 Go forward by taking the most recent scripture you feel the Holy Spirit has given you and meditate on it and do it.
An example: For several months I've been structuring my life on "live in peace, without spot and blameless." 2 Peter 3:14
***
Stop speaking those things devil tells you.
Speak truth ... even on the number of times you were divorced. It is misleading to say you are a divorced woman when you are a twice divorced woman. You must learn to speak truth and not yield to deception, speaking hypocrisy.
***
You do have a few things to build on. Radio story shows God leading you and giving you joy over truth. (born again/changed)
Doing what God showed you in dream, in bringing Dilly and coming to church meeting in Colorado.
***
Focus on the good, not the evil ... and above all bridle your tongue and stop speaking things that discourage another Christian as you did with me.
James 1:26 If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man's religion is vain.
Hebrews 10:23-24 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for HE is faithful that promised;) 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
***
Build on doing right using the examples of your doing wrong to correct yourself.
I want things to begin to go right way, way of God! (turn the car around)
Love, Joan

Each of us must judge ourselves properly and correct our way correctly by truth of God.
I Corinthians 11 (eating and drinking the scriptures, the Word of God, properly)
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread (The scriptures), and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself (by the scriptures), and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. (examining himself by the scriptures)
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep (die).
31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.
