Remember the parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins? Did you notice that the Wise Virgins did not share their oil with the Foolish ones? Yet Jesus considered that the righteous thing to do. Something to think about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember the parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins? Did you notice that the Wise Virgins did not share their oil with the Foolish ones? Yet Jesus considered that the righteous thing to do. Something to think about. I just kind of lumped them together, but yes I am in agreement that's why I say.... zactly!! but he wasn't selfish, he was wise. But again, I look at this as a parable of sorts...kind of like the good servant verses the bad or lazy servant. The one who's senses have been exercised enough to discern good and evil (Heb 5:13) was a servant with a lamp full of oil and that servant refused to compromise his journey with the Lord by not allowing sin to trip him up or by following the rest of the flock down a path to destruction.

I find myself in a similar situation. I've found a good church, but the enemy is trying to distort my mind and get me to leave just because there exists the potential for temptations there to pull me away from God. But thanks to your dream, I can see the stupidity of leaving. God obviously wants me there, and the devil obviously doesn't. That means that it's probably a decent church, right? You bet! The closer you get to the Lord the harder satan fights to get you back. The old dragon has no power over you anymore; unless you give it to him.
