Wisdom--Thanks. Although Im not looking for sympathy as much as I am understanding.

My biggest heartache is the fact that too many valuable years were wasted on this--when God gives the "order" it was hard to distinguish just when it was ok to chuck it all. That was the worst part, so I "flip flopped" back and forth for a few years, not wanting to step into disobedience.

It was hard to imagine that a man of god (preacher) would even consider not obeying God, and I assumed he knew the consequences that would ensue (and he's had MANY quite disasterous ones.)

It brings to my mind the story of David and Bathsheba. Because David chose to violate his "free will" it not only cost him the loss of his own child, but that child also belonged to his wife--and she suffered that loss just as much, but not due to her own actions.  We know this was not God's doing, but the stupidity of man.

In the end, David's wife lived the rest of her life with the consequences because not even God can "unring a bell".

(Man creates disasters, and all God can do is come along and clean it up the best he can. He usually doesnt stop disasterous situations  that man insists upon creating, especially when there is strong free will in that person. He will put them under strong conviction, but they can nevertheless forge ahead, ultimately to great regret and remorse. But the damage is already done.)

Fortunately, I "moved on" but I'd like to move on even moreso. But for that to happen, there is something I need for God himself to do that will equip me to do that.

Ive been clearing that path as much as is within my means to do so, but NOW woud be the "acceptable time" for Him to do the part Ive asked Him to do. And I'll say thank you veeeeeeeeery much.  :exclaimation:

Dear brothers and sisters,

I am glad to hear those of you gave me the advices! How much I appreciate! Please read the below, this is my testimony...

During these days I was extremely anxious as if I were an ant sinking in a bowl of hot water (My personal issue). I really hate myself, but I know I just can't handle it becasue I am not God...I told my situation to my christian friends. They helped me a lot, I know I can do is pray. But I am still worried yesterday, I was so nervous I felt sick and stomach-ache, but I had to work yesterday in somewhere, this time I totally placed this in God's hand. I prayed.... I have been to a brother's home yesterday after my work duty, he gave me a book, I just turn it randomly but it really happened in my eye, Jesus really comes to me and tell me something personally, He totally understand what I feel. Because the article I found was about "Life is not all joy and pleasure, there are heavy cares and burdens, that often weigh upon our breast. There are times of bitter suffering, times of sickness, times of pain, time of grief and times of darkness, when life's troubles seem to tain. Yes, there's many taxing moments, on this ocean depth of strife, many sob'ring tribulations, here to try us in this life. SUFFERING MAY TO US BE BITTER, BUT IT TENDS TO KEE US PURE. IT WILL LEAD OUR FOOTSTEPS UPWARD, AND WILL HELP OUR FAITH MATURE. IT WILL HELP US SEE OUR WEAKNESS, SHOW US JUST HOW FRAIL WE ARE, FILLES US WITH A GRATEFUL SPIRIT, FOR THAT HIGHER SOURCE OF POWER!".....

I walked to a park and I prayed few hours, guess what happened? Jesus came again this time, I had a strong feeling He was speaking with me....... He listened my prayer and answered my prayer.....It's fantastic...... He is always good to me, His arms does not short to protect me, His eyes does not blind to see nor his ear dull to hear............

Dear all,

Greetings in the name of our wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

I am a christian from China. I am messed up, becasue I recevied an email from my GF who is studying in UK... She told me that her parents found out their daughter has a bf by a chance. They didn't know before, they don't accept my gf to has a bf so soon, becasue she is still studying, in their eyes she is still young, however she is 19 years old. But now here are the problems happened, they damned my gf and get very angry with her, they don't accet me at all, because I am a christian (they didn't know their daughter became a christian when we met), and I am not a Communist Party of membership, even I have no experienced with a good university, ect........ They warned my gf to break up with me.....

    • 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.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • 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.
