 o yes Molly..He wants children of 'wisdom' from above down here..that is why He has and is revealing it.

   It alsostrengthens us in love for what we perceive as our eneimies[evil men who persecute/abuse]

  It is easier to bear the cross..and say 'Father forgive them they know not what they do"

  Comfort ye,comfort ye my people...tell them their hard labour[sin works] has come to an end[=

  end of good/evil exercize quickly approaches].

   Micah ,my Brother..there is no 'law' against the spirit..it goes where it will

The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

Sheila, I think I am flunking this course.

Evil just enrages me.   Not sure what to do about it... :dontknow:

center your wrath on the evil spirit behind it..not the man used as a patsy. Jesus was pretty incensed

at the offspring of vipers on the Pharisee's..He asked them who was going to save them? He was addressing

 the actual spirits.  Paul shows us that though blinded..that the Pharisees would be coming in[men]

  and of course it is the god of this world that blinded them..even though they said they could see,for that

 reason He did not cast them out..and let them remain.[because you say you have no sin]

 good thing for all ofus to remeber and ask of Him....cleanse us and remove from us any 'hurtful' thing.

  Loving the Father[spirit of love/goodness/rightness/peace] and our brother as ourselves..goes a long way

  in restraining any evil from entering our hearts[they can't dwell where burning love is in the heart.]

  if they put unloving thought in mind..rebuke the thought..and love in heart will send it on it's way.

 that is why He instructs to subject every though to Christt[less it enter our heart]

5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

--2 Cor 10



Above everything else guard your heart, because from it flow the springs of life.

Regarding Micah's "saved by grace" question... it has struck me that the great men of faith were called, drafted by God. Neither Moses nor Paul (and many others) were jumping up and down shouting "pick me". They were conscripted for service and equipped, trained for service. All of this is done by God. Indeed who could boast of any self effort? I believe God reveals Himself to people for service, to salt the world. My prayer is that God would transform me so I act only upon His command, to act as an ambassador that speaks only the words of Him I represent. I pray for this, but the outcome is His. He is the author and finisher of my faith. There is nothing for me to boast of. My faith is in Him, and as His child I rest.

Awesome Deena!  :cloud9:

actually I was going to reply to Deena's post, but read your reply first and then decided to reply to both of you...

Lomarah, I've noticed that you reply very briefly, but with encouraging words to many, many of the posts.  thank you.

Deena:  as I was reading your post, my thoughts went back to Anna of Luke 2:37-38... departed not from the temple, but served God with fastings and prayers day and night.  38  And she coming in that instant gave thanks likewise unto the Lord and spoke of Him to all that looked for redemption in Jerusalem.

I stand in prayer with you ... and may that "instant" prepared by the Lord for you come quickly...

lovely thread.  And Deena..when I read your post..this come to mind.  SoS 2;15  Catch for us the foxes

  the little foxes that ruin the vineyards, our vineyards that are in bloom. Jesus called Herod that fox....

 and instructed His disciples to beware the leaven of Herod.  Herod's temple that HE BUILT FOR GOD

 was a pride and arrogance in the works of his hands and boasting in himself and lording over others.

 It is BY MY SPIRIT..that GOD DOES THE WORK..and not the work of any man's hands.

  My dove,in the clefts of the rock, in the hiding places on the mountainside........Show me your face

  Let me hear your voice..for your voice is sweet and your face is lovely.
