Shadow with a shirt on

I am in no position to take offense. The statement you responded to was a small testimony delivered from love.. pray to the Lord so that he may Grant you the ability to see. Peace be with you

I read your post and I don't know if you want an answer to you making that decision or an answer to the reason why you think you should. I found out that when I asked for an opinion, I already had my mind made up. I just needed confirmation from others.. It took suffering, and I mean a lot to lead me to Christ.. ignorance is not knowing, but there is one thing for sure we are aware in our ignorance...we are aware of our NOT knowing...I mean this with love..pray to the Father in the name of Jesus... peace be with you

Hey there, all the Glory is His alone.. I have to thank the Lord for making me able to bless my brothers and sisters in Christ with this reaction I'm having from the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.. Wonderful He Is... peace be with you

I don't think we are capable of assassinating the character of a sheep belonging to the Messiah.. their character will display one that is lead by LOVE.. the character of the sheep should be observed, then you can imagine having that character of the sheep while Jesus leads us.. He Will mature us!... Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....(peace be with you)

Words are produced from one wanting to be heard.. we assume that our words will be perceived in a way that WE expect.. Everyone does NOT hear alike.. Words are confirmation of what one has on the mind, and what one has on the mind is lead by the Heart.. Before I pleaded to Christ to take my heart,. I thought I could read my way to Him.. I responded to other believers as one who read the Bible. And their response was as one who HEARD me.. I was content with their response to my words..it was at that time enough for me to fancy myself a genuine believer.. God will NOT stand for your PIECE of you!... The conviction of the Holy Spirit shined a light on the source of my stupidity.. and it was DARK... WHOSO KEEPETH HIS MOUTH AND HIS TONGUE KEEPETH HIS SOUL FROM TROUBLE.... peace be with you

Feelings are misleading apart from the Lord.. when I wanted something of this world like an A on a test, a job or something like that... I had to study,. Basically I did what seemed I had to do for the proper results.. This does not apply to The Lord.. Creating a pattern of reading scripture, going to church, or Bible study will not add up.. this only creates a mask that eventually will fool even the one doing this. The Love He has for us is the reason we attempt to love him..The Holy Spirit will eventually move you effortlessly.. peace be with you

I experienced what you're going through when my walk with Christ started to increase. I felt soooo lonely. So this feeling lead me to go out and attempt to make friends.. my doing this only lead to a knowing that I wasn't ready to engage with others on a "friendly" level..the Holy Spirit had changed my perception.. so I could not relate to ANYONE!..mom, dad, sisters, brothers, not a soul.. I can compare myself to a cake in the oven...I was still "batter" trying to cut slices of myself and give away...I was mush... The Lord knows what we desire.. and if he isn't first in our heart...the "self" thoughts will be louder than HIS WORD within us...be still and KNOW HE IS GOD ALONE... peace be with you

Wow....I laughed out loud as I read your post...I can relate to the way he exposes how easy we lie to him... Forgive us Father...for we know NOT what we do ...

I dare not to attempt to post a thing about my interpretation of the Lord.. I do share with you my realizing through the Holy Spirit that His ways are Nothing like ours. I could not gain HIS favor through what I believed gained HIS favor... The Holy Spirit has revealed to me that my defiance of "gain" and "favor" will not cut it with the Lord..so if this is so...how can we began to know what to do.. I do know that when you ask Him, you WILL receive.. your thoughts.....with Love through Christ

I can only tell what is true..it would be simple to agree with you... I can not speak as the ALL knowing and attempt to verbally explain HIS work in me..all I can say is there is a cause then an affect...my reading scripture started off as an affect.. leaning on my own understanding.., I was at ease with the idea that I was supposed to...so I did...not understanding it at all...It wasn't until I gave up on me., And pleaded with Christ...in ways I was not familiar with..I expressed my needing him in ways that were beyond me...the Holy Spirit revealed things my tiny mind would not produce.. I began a relationship with Christ...this is what lead to my picking up the Bible..It was the LORD!.. there is nothing I can do apart from him, not even comprehend what I read...There isn't one road of salvation..but there is only the One, Christ Jesus who can drive the vehicle of you there.. HOLY HOLY HOLY is His Name...Thank you Lord

As the Holy Spirit guides me.., He makes me aware of His truth.. at the moment i no longer read scripture with hopes to memorize verses so I can SOUND like I follow the word in conversations, trying to impress myself through my effect on others..I read it cause I need to!..it's fuel...God bless

Ask Him....

When I think about it with my new eyes...I see behavior associated with the statement, "Ignorance is bliss".. I have been made aware by the Holy Spirit my opinion of something is not.. The truth is if you are blind., Then you are also blind to a knowing you are blind,, so you won't be able to correct an issue that you cannot see..

Glory Glory Glory to the Most High!.. same to you..in the Mighty Name of Jesus

He instructs us to come to him as a Child...what is a child like... They present themselves dependent.. they don't speak.. they display no sign of knowing what they need..they are incapable of doing a single thing for themselves.. Crying from what we believe to be an alarm to do a thing for them that we are to do for them...we have to present ourselves to HIM EMPTY...NOT CONCERNED WITH SELF..

Paul said he was chief sinner.

I'm at a point in our (the Lord and I) relationship where I HAVE to.. I will spare you details of how often due to my not counting... He has changed my priorities to nothing.. I have one thing I MUST do.. that is to Glorify Him..in order for me to Glorify Him properly I had to learn to love him.. Now that's when it got tricky for lil ole me..I thought I knew what love was... I didn't... There is Nothing in it's catagory. He stands apart from all because He is the creator of all...can I ask a few questions to you.. Why do you ask how often we open the Bible to read.. I'm genuinely asking you. God Bless you

No I did not, to answer your question.

Hey there, Glory, I mean ALL Glory to the most high.., I am grateful for your post.. I desire for you FAITH, HOPE, AND LOVE..BLESSING OF GOD IN YOU AND THROUGH YOU

It is my opinion the answer goes unsaid...God bless

Okay, to answer your question as to what I like to cook in the fall... I would like to cook whatever written in the recipes you're posting...oh you're not posting recipes?.. (hint hint).. God bless you.. and thanks for sharing with us...

People that follow Christ know that our Lord is all in all. His ways go FAR beyond what our mind can comprehend. I need Jesus more than anything!.. the fact of him being the Holy One makes it impossible for me to need anything else. I say this as a result of my knowing it to bring true. A common attribute I've noticed within the conversations sparked due to the Christ common denominator between myself and others, is the "THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO DO" as soon as I don't respond to questions like they feel I should.. I personally know how the Holy Spirit can tell you an itty bitty truth that can blow your mind..and make you feel like you can teach the masses with this knowing, and there ain't nothing anyone can teach me.. It is absolutely IMPORTANT to stay connected with the Holy Spirit., And communicate in a way that reflects you knowing your absolute nothingness apart from Him. I have to stay in the Word.. on a daily I practice obedience., I trust not my thoughts, my thoughts lead me down roads I never even knew existed., I never thought I would travel.. my thoughts had me believing that I was responsible for me, so when ever I got out of a bad situation., I thought it was me. It wasn't until the Lord blessed me with sight was I able to see ALL that he has done for me. I could not TAKE it!.. I literally was overthrown with gratitude,amazement, sorrow, pitty, and I am certain the English language has not nor have the ability to form words that can describe all these new emotions he unlocked in me... He responded to me because I wanted it, and I asked for it. I'm going on longer than anticipated, I will testfy bit by bit.. in all.. YOU HAVE NOT BECAUSE YOU ASK NOT. THERE IS NOTHING HE WONT DO FOR THOSE WHO ARE STRIVING FOR HIS HEART.. WHEN HIS HEART STARTED..LET ME REPHRASE, WHEN I ACKNOWLEDGED THE HEART HE GAVE ME..I KNEW I NEEDED NOTHING MORE THAN TO STAY CONNECTED TO HIM...AND LET OTHERS KNOW, THOSE WHO ASK ME ABOUT MY ROAD TO CHRIST. I PRAY THAT PRIDE WONT SNEAK IN, I PRAY I DONT SHOVE IN AN INDIVIDUALS' FACE THAT THEY NEED TO DO WHAT I DO OR DID TO CONNECT WITH THE LORD.. Or make another feel like their salvation is missing something because they don't walk the way I do with Christ. I love you all.
