That was a powerful vision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was a powerful vision. Thanks Leonard, I had'nt quite thought of it this way before but yes, you are absolutely right. It's a lust , a constant craving for the new, the exciting. your sister in Christ Swarna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Nebula, when our flesh is not put to death, we are often times led by our senses. We seek 'thrills'. The '"grass always seems greener on the other side" . Never satisfied with simple truths we willingly submit to seductions. There is a dread in our flesh, that 'we might miss it'. That 'God will pass us by' . But those who believe and trust in God, will not make haste. They will not judge by mere appearances, but will make a righteous judgment. thanks Nebula love........in Christ Swarna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen. I think that applies to many areas in the faith. We get enamoured with programs rather than God EricH, you are right. It does apply to many areas in the faith. Sometimes we tend to treat our faith/salvation as a commodity, as a 'T.V.' set, which always seems to need upgrading and exchanging for a newer version......why? to ' keep up with the Joneses" We get so easily glamorized. So therefore let us fix our eyes on Jesus the author and perfector of our faith who for the joy set before him, endured the cross, and scorning it's shame sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. love...in Christ Swarna Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jckduboise Posted May 27, 2006 Share Posted May 27, 2006 Your vision said another thing to me...these people were boxed in the time they lived in...then shipped to our time (2006)..they were given a choice to come out of the box..but there were those who liked the safety and comfort of the familiar..even though they were cramped and weary. How many of us put God in a box? How many of us make God as small as our minds conceive ourselves to be? How many of us put God into a simple dimensional being instead of the many dimensions, the largeness of His abilities and mind? People today and yesterday are the same..they want no change..things are much easier to cope with if nothing changes and if concepts are kept in the physical...but spiritually many are asleep. Many are unable to grasp the spiritual meanings of God's words and they are unable to see that many scriptures have different meanings and that every word in a scripture is to be recognized for multi meaning and not just what applies to our daily physical lives. God wants us out of the boxes and to view His world as it is-spriritual..if we are unable to live outside of the box we are in danger of perishing. That is what I saw from your vision. thank you for sharing it with us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
