,
God bless you brother ,
You seem to be BOLD trying to provoke the truth , but in LOVE , but in writing you are maybe totally misunderstood ?
Paul /saul had the same issues in writing letters to the Body of Christ
1 Cor 4
With a rod or with a gentle spirit which do you prefer ? He asked ??? I have seen both out of you .
But Paul is still misunderstood to this day!!!
I can only hope that as the grace of God is poured out during these times we can all come together in the LOVE OF GOD
I love how you provoke me to share what is in my heart !!!
and it was the exchange between you and GIL that helped me out a great deal
I have always been dead in sin and now dead in Christ , and carry both natures while here in this world
I want nothing more than to become a better Spiritual creature in Christ and make His glory known in this world .
I have learned not to be offended , you could say I have hardened my hide and not my heart when speaking of the LORD JESUS CHRIST
BUT I sure have hardened my heart to those whom will not hear any scriptures at all .
I have been rejected by many of my hubs family because of my UR stance , they have stopped their ears from hearing , saying I do not want Rose to quote scriptures to me !
I have hardened my hide in the sense of this , I will not go provoke them to wrath , but to pray in private for their well being , I was given a comfort in they are not resisting me ,a mere witness , but the Holy Spirit moving in any of us when they reject the scriptures , if your interpretation of scriptures comes too bold , what ever spirit is on them causes
one of two things fear or wrath , than you know what spirit you are dealing with.
LOVE should be the only reason to provoke any spirit , all we can do is HOPE that the Holy Spirit will convince them and convict them , as the seed is planted or scattered abroad .or snached up by the birds of the air
I read JUDE today , this morning, this letter is of utmost importance for us all to check on what spirit motivates us
I have always thought we have to internalize , eat it up and consume it in order for it to apply , Paul was doing this very thing , hoping NOT to be disqualified as seed sower , by telling others and not applying the same JUDGMENTS to himself
this is were the grace of God comes in while Saul / Paul was a murderer literally , he thought he was doing God a service in ignorance , the kills and makes alive , but as the grace of Jesus Christ come to him on a more personal level on the road to Damascus , he was changed into an awakened state , no longer dead in sin under the law of sin and trespass , but alive in Christ and was trying to stay alive in Christ , but the opposition was immense !!! even under grace it was hard not to be cut down and broken and all but useless to Jesus / Truth , Way / Life .
I struggle with that same , cutting and dividing of the two edged SWORD / WORD every day!!
I have some carnal / deadly thoughts that rise up in wrath that cause me to stumble and die daily also
I can only hope this makes sense to anyone whom understands the struggle of still being flesh and blood and yet desire to be more of the new Spiritual creature in Christ / anointing as the HOLY SPIRIT gives power over us and over the sin nature .
I LOVE YOU BROTHER !! you have given me many things to ponder and for that I am thankful to God for you always .
the seed struggles to take root in the earth .... after the watering of the Word and the Light comes it is a start , but it is GOD whom gives the increase ! glory to God on earth as it is in heaven ....
be of good cheer , you are loved ............... we are loved more than we can ever know ............ but we will know this one day for certain after all the uncovering of darkness /ignorance is done !!!!!!!!!!!!! yay!!
Brother ,
babes seek the sincere milk of the WORD , those given strong meat are ready to kill and eat , like Peter was our example
its not fair to beat on babies !! it is not fair or just to eat babies in Christ , time is always being patient and wait on the Lored
Did you know that is my instruction to wait on the Lord at this time ?????????
I received this in my own spirit from the Holy Spirit brother , be patient with others as God has been with you ...
ONLY GOD /LOVE can make it grow and bear fruit , many times we rush it though by force and it destoys the good to come .
evil is temporary , good is everlasting
I love my sis , and love you brother, but really ? do you think the truth sets us free just because I desire it to happen right now ?
Paul was so upset with how much opposition he encountered over the WORD /the two edged SWORD / that kills and makes alive
no HE was told I will show you how much suffering you will encounter for my names sake ........
everyone will hate you for my names sake !!
I used to think that when I was in Babylon , I was in so much confusion !!!!!!!!!!!
I stopped all outside political and religious speaking totally , and hid in a fox hole , licking my wounds , like an animal ...
broken and bleeding all over the place , figuratively speaking , but it took the WORD OF THE LORD AND HIS SPIRIT to heal this one and also learn to be in subjection to much adversity , I loose the fight daily , realizing that in my own weakness GOD ALONE is my strength , and if GOD is not in power than I am as good as a dead man , and death stinks to the high heavens , the carcass become food for the worms that do not die but always have carnage from the battles
though I die a thousand deaths a thousand times , MY ONLY HOPE IS IN GOD /LOVE , love will see us though
I am constantly begging for more grace , for us all . that is a continual prayer of mine and has been for years .
I believe GODS GRACE is enough to get us al though ,GODS WORD SAYS SO and by His Spirit it continues , and if it can keep us from suffering to lean the hard way than so be it .
but we learn obedience though suffering , the world hates you but God loves you always till the ends of the earth ,
but GOD will not allow His Holy name to be defiled and misused and will suffer for it as well , look at Babylons double cup as our greatest example of suffering ...
suffer on earth as it is in her heaven !! mortality/literal and immortality/ as the time appointed to reaping and sowing the fruits of her doings as cut off from GODS LOVE
My sister had the most impacted message to me on a personal level , she died literally and told me , when she was being lifted up and near to the LORD HIMSELF , she had never felt that kind of LOVE in this world and life ever !!!!!!!!
I so believe her message !!!!!!!!!! she went on to change in ways I never thought possible , she was seeking the LORD , AS WE ALL ARE !! and as she went on developed a brain tumor many years later and died in the LORD she always remembered the WORD in power to her dying breath as the HOLY SPIRIT carried her home to be with HIM AND I believe she has more movement and ability without the weight of the flesh and blood to hinder her as SHE is now a small part of the BODY OF CHRIST DOING the mighty works , the same scripture Peter was given by Jesus , when you were young you did what you wanted and went where you desired , but when you are old you will have other dress you and go in places you do not wish to go
To me this is being led by the HOLY SPIRIT NOW as one among the countless myriads /uncountable number of messengers doing Gods bidding seen in Daniel 7 and Rev 7 THE twice told story that was Gods plan of the ages and before the world began !
