  1. It would be more accurate and according to Scripture to say that Christ never did anything outside the will of the Father, than to say that He never did anything in His own strength. Christ's strength is God's strength, because He is fully God. He commanded the waves to be still and He commanded the dead to rise. At the same time, He volutarily made Himself the Servant of the Father while on earth and in His humiliation. As to the discussion pertaining to Deuteronomy, none of that is directly applicable to Christians. The New Covenant superseded the Old Covenant, and that is the end of the matter. And it is not even relevant to the topic which is the life Jesus purchased for us under the Law of Liberty. Thank you very much for your opinion! Blessings to you
  2. As i was praying today about your response and how to answer it, God gave me a few things....so i pray that you won't mind my giving what He showed me. If one says that verse (2 Corinthians 12:9) "God's grace is sufficient for me" with the definitions of the words...it says that God's overwhelming desire to treat you and me as if sin never happened is strong enough for me. For God's ability is made complete (to bring to an end) in weakness. Most gladly therefore will i rather boast in my weakness, that the power of Christ (the anointed one or the anointing) may descend or rest upon me, working within me and giving me help.....So as Paul relied on God's power working within him, he was able to cast out that messenger of satan and get rid of it....but it was not in Paul's power, but in God's. In Ps 8:5-6 David tells us that God has given us dominion over the earth. The earth was created for Adam to dwell in it. So maybe you could show us a couple of scriptures that say that God is in 100% control all of the time. There are plenty of scriptures where God said if you will do this....I will do this, but if you disobey, you suffer the consequences. And even a handfull of times when God said it repents Him, that He did this or that...or Jesus wept at..... so i do believe that God soverignly decided to give us the choice more often than people realize. In Deuteronomy 29:14-15 it says that God was making the covenant not only with them, but with future generations. And being that those of us who have accepted Jesus as Lord and savior, are told that we are joint heirs with Him in the promises of Abraham....i believe this applies to us to. And in Deuteronomy 30:11-18 we see that every person is given a choice, and God desires for us to choose life...not death and curses. Two times in those verses God says "if" that means this stuff is conditional and subject to change. 2 Timothy 3:16 says that ALL scripture is God breathed or inspired by God...so one cannot just dismiss verses that say that we have choices and dominion. We have to take all of the verses in the Bible and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal how they are applied. Seeking knowledge or wisdom (James 1:5) (not ours, but God's). Even when Jesus walked on this earth, He said that He only did what He saw His Father do, and said what He herd the Father say....and He never did anything under His own strength. And as 1 Peter 2:21 says...we are to follow in His (Jesus) example. Blessings
  3. Why yes i do love Him and follow Him even though He does not fix all of my problems immediately, but then i know well enough to ask Him what is it that i am doing wrong, because the Word of God is never wrong. And yes i do love Him and serve Him even though He is teaching us to totally rely on Him right now and i have to trust Him to provide even the simplest of things, and that i am living on a friends living room floor while i am waiting on Him to open up the doors to the ministry that He has birthed in our hearts. I even loved and praised Him when we had to dig in the dumptsters for the money to pay for toilet paper, and toothpaste, and praised Him when i found a pair of shoes, knowing that is how He was providing for me. However i do believe that health and prosperity is part of what is included in our salvation, and that it is God's desire that we walk in those things. Not for our own selfishness, but so that as we are fully relying on God, giving Him the praise and glory for it all, and we are going about doing His Work with the extra. (2 Corinthians 9:7-15) There are scriptures all throughout the Bible that tell us as believers we are fellow heirs with Christ to THEE BLESSING of Abraham. Blessings
  4. There's no turning back. God bless Very true.....and i have no desire to turn back. I prayed awhile back ago, that i wanted to go so far in Christ, that without His help i could not ever come back to where i was. To be so engrafted into the vine (Jn 15) that people could not tell where Jesus left off and i began. HE is my one true desire! blessing to you as well
  5. In my own life i have given up everything to follow Christ. So yes if i had to i would
  6. It's an old hymn of those who have gone before us sister. I do enjoy newer music. But sometimes going back a hundred years or more does well to the soul. It Is Well With My Soul - 1873 by: Horatio Spafford When peace, like a river, attendeth my way, When sorrows like sea billows roll; Whatever my lot, Thou has taught me to say, It is well, it is well, with my soul. Refrain It is well, with my soul, It is well, with my soul, It is well, it is well, with my soul. Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, Let this blest assurance control, That Christ has regarded my helpless estate, And hath shed His own blood for my soul. Refrain My sin, oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! My sin, not in part but the whole, Is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more, Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul! Refrain For me, be it Christ, be it Christ hence to live: If Jordan above me shall roll, No pang shall be mine, for in death as in life Thou wilt whisper Thy peace to my soul. Refrain But, Lord, ‘tis for Thee, for Thy coming we wait, The sky, not the grave, is our goal; Oh trump of the angel! Oh voice of the Lord! Blessèd hope, blessèd rest of my soul! Refrain And Lord, haste the day when my faith shall be sight, The clouds be rolled back as a scroll; The trump shall resound, and the Lord shall descend, Even so, it is well with my soul. Refrain Note: In 1873, Horatio Spafford wrote the words to the hymn "It is Well with My Soul" after the tragic death of his four daughters. (He wrote it on the ocean while sailing near the spot where his daughters died.)Very moving. Hear it here: God bless, GE Thank You for blessing us with the Words to these two hymns! O i really appreciate it!
  7. Just checking in to see how your doing pink dove? Hope all is well with you! Blessings!
  8. So many great suggestions and encouragements! I just would like to add to them, if i may. One thing that i do when i am struggling is to get alone and renew my mind with the Word (like in Romans 12:2), i take communion, and i listen to the Word on mp3. Sometimes i seem to not be able to sit still to read, but if i can hear the Word preached, then i am in good shape. May the Lord richly bless you with peace and joy!
  9. Just wanted to thank you for being available. There are many people who do not understand. To have someone who has been through it, and healed from it...willing to share and help, praying for those who are trying to understand why they do it, and how to be healed from it, is an awesome way to allow Jesus to shine through you. And bring freedom to those who are hurting! May the Lord richly bless you!
