Greetings in Jesus Christ's Name

[ChristB4us]

Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ.

I hope the Lord is leading me here to edify, correct, and warn as I hope He does for me through others as we grow in His words in the knowledge of Him.

I trust Jesus Christ as my personal Good Shepherd & Friend to help me to follow Him as His disciple by testifying of Him in seeking His glory and not serve anything else in His name to seek the glory of the other.

1 Corinthians 1:⁹ God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. ¹⁰ Now I beseech you, brethren, by the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye all speak the same thing, and that there be no divisions among you; but that ye be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment.

1 Corinthians 2:2 For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

Let me share a little bit of my vision for the ministry in a parable.

Let's say I'm throwing a big party and am inviting the world to the party (the forums) and I want everyone to have a great time, eating (reading through posts being fed), drinking (being encouraged to walk in His Word), and having fellowship with one another.  In Israel, we have Shabbat meals -- and whenever you have 2 Jews -- you have 3 opinions -- it's GREAT to be opinionated.  I encourage discussions ... but during our Shabbat meals ... we never ever get to the point in disagreements whereby food is being tossed and seriously yelling takes place!  And if someone comes into the meal ... and starts throwing food ... and yells at everyone -- what do you suppose the head of the Shabbat meal will do?  He'll escort those causing problems out of the house!  Why?  Because the whole reason for the gathering was to learn from one another ... to have a great time of fellowship!  

Some people like to constantly throw food and yell ... they won't last on Worthy ... because they missed the point of the party ... it's a prequel to the true party -- the Lamb's Supper!  

All I'm trying to provide is a place to allow true fellowship ... and discussions in love ... in the hopes it will be a catalyst for true REVIVAL based on REPENTANCE!

I hope you have a blessed time at Worthy!

Thank you George for the welcome.

I can only hope in the Lord that He will direct me to be meek as I do rely on Him to minister and not myself.

I thank the Lord that I am here in this forum that is not afraid to discuss apostasy by the scriptures that is happening in the churches in these latter days.  Scripture cannot go against scripture and so we need His help to see the truth in His words to use the meat of His words to discern good and evil.  The discernment I need from the Lord is to know how to approach each member since we all have a different place in our walk in the Lord.

2 Timothy 2:24 And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient, 25 In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; 26 And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will.

1 Corinthians 3:1 And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ. 2 I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are ye able. 3 For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men?

Hebrews 5:11 Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing. 12 For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. 13 For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. 14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

So I agree that when a fair exchange in a discussion becomes an argument, then may the Lord remind both sides Who they should be relying on to cause the increase rather than beating the other for the head to receive.

1 Corinthians 3:5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 6 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Prayer is needed as we can only prove all things with the Lord's help.

1 Thessalonians 5:21 Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. 22 Abstain from all appearance of evil. 23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it. 25 Brethren, pray for us.

For as much as the Lord helped me to see the iniquities so I can lean on Him to help me depart from them, makes me wonder what other iniquities I may be in that I do not know about or able to see my need for His help to depart from?  So I am looking forward to the Lord using anyone to help me see any error I may be in so that He may prune me and that I may be  more fruitful as a result.

John 15:1I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Thanks again for the warm welcome.

Hi Alive,

Thanks for the welcome.

Okay.

I guess I missed that part about the initial two posts being introductory only, although I would think my second post would be considered as informing others where I am in my walk with the Lord in having learned and still open to learn more.

Not sure how much introduction is needed other than saying that I am not a pastor nor hold any official post in any church denomination nor do I identify with any church denomination at this time. 

Was formerly a member of the Covenant Presbyterian Church.  Still a believer and thanks to Jesus Christ, a follower of Jesus Christ which I believe is what a disciple of Jesus Christ is supposed to represent rather than his or her church since the church as a whole is to represent Jesus Christ and not just individually.  It stands to reason that if the church gets persecuted and most of its members killed, the survivors can rely on Jesus Christ as their personal Good Shepherd in leading them in the way they ought to go.

Thanks for informing me more of what the initial two post was to be about.

May God bless you.

Very few members read this area, so it makes more sense to get through this intro deal and then post significant content in sub forums where your content will get attention.

[Alive]

Enjoy and God bless.

Thanks.

I shall see how the Lord leads.

My computer seems to be compromised  as the typing is delayed in typing as I type.

I have been noticing this today now that I have been cleared to post in this forum and other things that my folks' computer has been compromised way before I had joined the forum like on the McAfee where the VPN is now stuck in securing but never secures.

Jesus is still Lord.

May God bless you all  and grant that the word of the Lord may have free course in this forum towards others as well as for myself.
