These are the kinds of statements I have a problem with, as do others here. 

Since you know me so well, what I do and do not do, what I do and do not believe, then perhaps you can explain to me how I conduct my Christian walk.  Perhaps you can explain to me what church I attend, what churches I have attended in the past, and what my stance is, doctrinally.  Perhaps you can share with me how I study the Bible, what parts of it I study, if I study it at all, and what kind of training I have it comes to interpretation, theology and doctrine.  Because the above statement looks good from your side.  It looks caring and concerned but on the other side, to the person reading it, it implies you know more about the person's Christian life than they do.  I want to test that theory and see if you actually know that much about me and how I am now, or have conducted my Christian walk.  Surely you would know what my favorite book of the Bible is.  Take your time.

Those words I told you .  that advice or reminder .    Get each and all who does have a problem with my constant reminders

to come and tell me I need to be doing that .......................ID FAINT WITH JOY.   I WOULD PROBABLY PASS OUT being so overwhelmed with JOY .  

Somone on this site, whose name I wont bring up .  When I first came  here and was talking about following the Spirit

they said YOU NEED to be reading your bible so you can test those spirits or spirit .    I CAME BACK REJOICING , REJOICING COBALT

EVEN though by grace I have loved reading the bible for hours daily for nigh twelve years.  I did not come back all offended cause by golly I am some thing .

NOPE I am nothing .  BUT MAN when I hear truth its like I get so over joyed.

No.  I asked you specific questions and you need to answer them.  You told me, directly, to "return to Bible-only" reading.  That was not directed in a generality, it was directed at me, so you will have to deal with what I posted.  You made the statement and you need to deal with it, directly, not tell me what James warned about or go off on another tangent.  I'll post what I said again:

You inferred that I do not read my Bible, or do not read it right and you are going to have to deal with the statement, one way or another.

The other one told me the same thing and all I did was rejoice .   They assumed wrong about me , but I only rejoiced.

But if you want to know why I told you to go back to bible only reading .  IS because if you aint you need to be.

It is always telling when one makes a very specific statement, and then, when questioned about it, backs away from it as if it is hot.  The comment was directed at me.  A wise person would just answer the questions I ask and clarify what they meant.  If you can't, it would then be wise to simply say, "I really don't know that much about your, or anyone else's walk with God, and I will stop making assumptions."

then may I be dumber than dumb.   for I will never cease reminding all to read that bible for hours daily.    be blessed cobalt .

I never said that you were dumb.  I do not think you are dumb.  You have zeal, and that is apparent, but it isn't always channeled right.  Blanket statements are never accurate, they are never beneficial and they are never edifying.  It is never beneficial to anyone to go around crying that "ALL THE CHURCHES ARE WRONG!!!!!"  Because that is false.

The concept of a believer having personal discernment and personal conviction when it comes to certain things seems to be a concept lacking in some of the more legalistic believers in today's society.  Legalism never brings anyone closer to God.  Personal conviction does.

I never want that fire that has died in many to burn out of me .     And I didn't say you said I was dumb.  you just made the statemtent a wise man.

Cobalt we need the fire to burn bright in many again .   Their is such a thing as first love , first faith .     I did not say all churches were in error.  JUST the ones I seen and visted.

that is scary cobalt .   now I have no doubt , none that true beleivers are still gathering .    But even when I one tried to just point me to one

they brough john piper for crying out loud.  the man is false .  tell you what cobalt ,  recommend some pastors or teachers YOU KNOW follow GOD.

that is a start aint it .

You introduced your whole rebellion scenario onto my post which had to do with joy in relation to worship and nothing to do with rebellion. I certainly don't know why.

OBTW, praise (from the heart) is part of obedience.

ITS BY PRAISE WE ENTER IN .    PRESS IN PEOPLES ENTER THE COURTS OF THE LORD WITH THANKSGIVING and PRAISE .    sing it peoples , sing it

sing to the LORD .

It doesn't matter what other Christians think about you, but what God knows about you and what you know about yourself before God. You need to know--- as do we all---that you are doing His will and that He is pleased with you. If think we have such peace, but are not keeping His commandments as we know them, that peace is a phony peace. It may be peace of mind for having what we want, but it's not peace from God.

Why should you care what I or any other Christian thinks or knows about your walk with Jesus? Is He pleased with it? How do you know? Are you keeping His commandments (the commandments of the New Testament) to the best of your knowledge and ability? Are you doing your best to please Him and living for Him as you know He wants you to?

(These are not questions to answer to me, by the way, so please don't.)

By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our hearts before Him; for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart and He knows everything. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and whatever we ask we receive from Him, because we keep His commandments and do what pleases Him. (1 John 3:19-22)

There is no fear in love, but perfect love casts out fear. For fear has to do with punishment, and whoever fears has not been perfected in love. (1 John 4:18)

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from His sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account. (Hebrews 4:12,13)

Don't assume that a person who preaches hard truths is a hypocrite. Hopefully they aren't, for the same word of truth that judges others also judges the one who delivers the message. A wise man lives transparently before God, in full expectation of giving an account to Him; for nothing is covered up that will not be revealed, or hidden that will not be known.

I believe the meaning of my previous posts was clear.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
