' Beloved, let us love one another:
for love is of God;
and every one that loveth
is born of God,
and knoweth God.
He that loveth not
knoweth not God;
for God is love.
In this was manifested the love of God toward us,
because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world,
that we might live through Him.'
(1Jn 4:7-9)
* Your domino effect has reached me here in Wales, too, Homewardbound.
It is 8.50pm here now, and I wish I had read your entry this morning, for my day would have been so different.
'Jesus, I am resting, resting,
In the joy of what Thou Art,
I am finding out the greatness,
Of Thy loving heart.'
* I shall take that to bed with me tonight, and rest easy.
With love to you all,
In Christ Jesus

John 16:33
These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In theworld ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcometheworld.
Truth is no one is free from tribulation here on earth, no one, yet Christ has overcome this world for us by the resurrection, and I guarantee you, none of us combined together could experience more trouble that what he did for us, and by his stripes Sister you are healed, knowing you have treasures in heaven
I remember when my conscience seared me, I had troubles I needed to face head on. I had remorse in something I had done, and the person I had done this to, had no idea it was me. Now for years it was on my mind to go and confess this wrong that I did, and battled over whether to be truthful, when this person did not know.
So one day I knew I had to face this truth and tell it to this person, what I had done, it was not easy to face this truth, but I finally did as led, never forced, just led, I finally faced it head on
When I did tell this person the truth, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the freedom that overwhelmed me, beyond words, not even thinking about whether or not this person would forgive me or not, not even a thought of that, for I was now standing in truth, and it mattered not to me whether this person forgave me or not, and I was ready to pay whatever penitence this person might ask of me.
Anyway, this person did forgive me, and said to me what they saw in me when I confessed, they said they saw the freedom that overwhelmed in being truthful to what I did not need to be truthful to, since this person did not know what I did
And I said yes, but I knew, and I today am now free from what I did wrong it is no longer hidden, and even if I were not forgiven by you, I am by God, I did this in response in thanking God for forgiving me
And I sought out everyone I harmed in my life that I could to tell them, what I did was just no right and am ready to pay for them as they wish
Anyway that was just me and who God showed me to be, and to walk in truth and not hide, as everyone is learning this truth from God and this truth manifested from these verses:
Matthew 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
Matthew 5:24 leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
Now my Brother did not have ought against me for he knew not what i had done, Now just imagine for a second, if I never told him truth, and one day he found it out not by me, Would I pay or should I pay for it?
Mercy we have been given, Mercy we saw give and ask for you think? If one wants to be free yes I think so. you?
luv u 2. But Jesus is a friend that sticketh closer than a brother, your my brother so don't take go anywhere, going to shackle u to the couch
your my brother so don't take go anywhere, going to shackle u to the couch
he love of God can never be rude, it is what causes man to repent and believe God, nothing else ever worked in the First Testament, in condemnation ever, Mercy did and does to this very day, even if some do take it for granted, Mercy is the only thing that effected me, remembering in the day of being a drunk and sluggard, and seeing God's Mercy on me, and knew what I deserved, and asked why all in all was God being kind to me, and it was not that I did not have troubles, but i felt God was having Mercy on me and I did not deserve it, in all I was doing, this is just how I felt
Then I read his kindness is meant to lead me to repentance, so I repented and tried to do what is right, and found out I could do what is right to a certain point, and just could not get it all right, be perfect that is and wanted to be.
So I got caught up in this world's view of repentance, in asking for more forgiveness each and every time I sinned. Thus being focused on whether I sin or not, and oh wow, what a surprise to a wretched man I am and so I went all out to be all I could be, full of stress, worry and not at peace, in trying so hard to be perfect
i do not know if anyone else can relate to this, but this is what happened to me
Then one day I heard that i was forgiven by God through Christ and that there is no more forgiveness from God to be executed to me from God if I sin or not.
perplexed by this as I thought of me as such a good Christian, trying real hard to appear righteous, in front of the Church I was attending at that time, and hiding my sins from them, and asking God to forgive me over and over for the prior sins I had committed that weak, Tis was an ongoing adventure each and every week for me for a few years. And victory was not happening in this method of operation, that seems to be taught often to us the laymen by the pastors that are to be oracles of God instructed by this world's laws.
So I called up this ministry, to give them a ration of my mind and the error they are in, that we need if we sin to ask God for more forgiveness, and that if we are not forgiven we do not go to Heaven, and trust me I want to go to Heaven.
Well this is what happened, I said my peace and got this challenge said to me. Go to the Bible and find me anyplace in there after Christ's death, anywhere that says we are to ask for more forgiveness if we sin or not sin again after you have received the forgiveness at the cross, where the forgiveness is provided to all through the shed blood of Christ?
Immediately I went to 1 John 1:9. This is what I heard, and was asked if I believe Christ came in the flesh, born of the virgin Mary and went to the cross in the flesh and died for the sin of thew world and is risen alive today forever more?
I said yes, then I was asked is there anymore sin left for you to be judged on to die for then? I no how can there be if (since) he died for all sin (John 1:29)
And then I was asked is there or has there ever been any sin ever forgiven without the shedding of blood?
I said no, not per the word no
Then I asked if Christ is ever going to come back to shed anymore blood for anymore forgiveness? I said no it is done isn't it?
When I saw this my troubles were not over as a matter of fact they got worse, and why is this, because now I was in a fight of my own flesh and the Spirit of God, that just dos not want to let go and just trust God and rest in that
Finalizing the cross, where we are truthfully forgiven, is a step into truth, and the battle really begins, because now Father is revealing the truth and showing us the new life in the resurrected Christ, Father has for us a free gift to us, in Spirit and truth
So how easy is it to transfer from a life time of flesh efforts to be good when can't truthfully ever be good not complete anyway.
You see we all you want to do good have spent a lifetime in these efforts and by a practice if practiced long enough does it become a habit? Once a habit if continues, a habit becomes a characteristic, then a trait, yes or no?
So if one finalizes they are forgiven and sees it is all God and none of our self efforts that makes us right with God, Does a battle begin?
I came to the end of the energy of me doing what is right. raised my white flag in I give up, I can't do this, and that is when the battle of flesh and Spirit was over, I me, my flesh gave up, and Father through Son won
Praying anyone else going through this battle sees though to home Heaven, where we worship in Spirit and truth only from our new hearts Father has given us in Spirit and truth
The truth sets one free and will be free indeed, just don't give up to see through, for you will, if you beleive God and stand fast in this

Yes absolutely true no longer filled with wine of this earth, now drunk in the Holy Spirit of God, thanks Sister, ever been asked to get some of your drugs, from another that sees you so joyful?
My Drug God in the power of the Holy Spirit through the Son, considered crazy whenever I say I am dead in the flesh and alive in the Spirit of God
My Drug God in the power of the Holy Spirit through the Son, considered crazy whenever I say I am dead in the flesh and alive in the Spirit of God
Very nice to know I matter more than reeces
I will not try to convince you one way or the other for God's Spirit I know testifies truth to your Spirit, having everything you need for life and godliness, thanks to Christ, whom you believe in and are rested in that alone, that is what brought you the new life Christ came to give you that you have received to see
Not by works or you would have reason to boast, the same with all that beleive not of works saved by Father through son alone it is done
