Welcome, little brother. 
Being elderly ( ),and forgetful, I have written your name in my prayer notebook.
That way, I will remember to pray for your faith!
I hope you have a church to go to, where you can fellowship with other believers,
and grow in grace and knowledge of the Lord Jesus. ♥
(of course, you will do that at home, too, but we all need one another)
Hope to see you around here at CC, a whole LOT!
love,
ellie

"Lord Jesus, please help my brother Mike to get to know You better and trust You more every day. In Your awesome Name, Amen!".
Mike, I'm glad that you apparently want to get to know Jesus better! It's important to seek him daily, as you surely know, and fervently. He adores you so much... I read one of your testimony threads, and it appears that you already have this knowledge . I'm glad to see that He has given you peace in the midst of trials. Tell as many people as you can (in the Spirit of course ) about Jesus and how He took their place on the cross; He gave us that order as the Great Commission; He wants to have as big a family as possible, and it's a surefire way to grow in Him, as long as you stay in touch with Him and ask Him to show you when you make mistakes, etc. God bless you in your quest for more of the Lord, my brother !

Hope this helps:
Except your righteousness!
Mat 5:20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.
This verse is a very haunting verse so misused and twisted in the church system today! Many are under the false teaching that puts Jesus in their place, which means a magical cloak where they are now covered by Him, free from the wrath to come, and that Jesus righteousness is what they rely on, since they were taught they were born a sinner, unable to do anything right before God, especially repent and STOP SINNING!
But is this true? Did Jesus really mean His righteousness is now imputed onto you? His righteousness in now your righteousness since He somehow transferred His perfect track record to you by making you invisible to God as you still remain defiled and in bondage to this false teaching?
Can a person transfer their virtue onto another person? Or are we actually responsible to God to do right, as commanded.
This verse is referring to the Pharisees and scribes who were squeaky clean on the outside, but on the inside full of dead men’s bones, vile to the core, hating Jesus and His truth, by rejecting it, and calling Him a demon.
These hypocrites had an outward righteousness, but inwardly were vile, double minded, full of self and loved the lie, as most who profess Christ do.
I was called self-righteous by an ex friend of mine as he told me, Since I preached we can obey God from the heart, that can only come from the repentance process where the heart is made pure from within, and crucified (put to death) once and for all with Christ. Thus the sin stops, the heart is purified by faith, and obedience to the truth is not an option!
I was told walking in newness of life was legalism, and being self-righteous, and obeying Jesus and His commands from the heart, walking in the light, keeping my heart pure and undefiled from the world and all its vain attractions was being just like the scribes and Pharisees.
While he was still in bondage to lust, worldliness, and his popular church which preached you can fall into many vile sins as a Christian, but as long as you confessed these so called failures to God, you were OK!
Now I ask you who still have an ear to hear, who is the still defiled one?
He who has crucified their flesh once and for all in repentance, cleansed from the inside out, walking in newness of life, or my ex friend who was and is still in bondage to his flesh and the false system of lies, where you can fall occasionally or daily into immorality, drunkenness, fornication, adultery, etc., and just confess then you are again right with GOD!
Pro 1:31 And they shall eat the fruit of their own way, and be filled with their own desires.

PS, Matthew 5-20 is clearly talking about heart purity, not outward good deeds most church people do, but have never crucified their flesh with Christ, Galatians 2-20, and are clean on the outside, yet still defiled and dirty on the inside, its simple, repent, stops sinning as commanded, or make excuses why you can remain unrighteous since Jesus gave you His in some mysterious transfer!
Thank you for coming forth to ask for prayer dear Child of God. Surely God has seen your reaching forth to Him in prayer and the fact that He is using you for the special things that need to be done is a great blessing in itself! I will surely pray that He surround you with many blessings and that your faith continues to grow. You will see the many blessings He will bring unto you in return. May God always bless you and be with you!
