Your scars reveal your past but do not have to predict your future. The redemptive quality of the Blood of Jesus not only forgives your sins but also heals and delivers you from past and present brokenness. Submit the shattered pieces of your broken heart to your loving Saviour; He will not make you as good as new but better than ever before. Then there are millions of other wounded warriors and hurting people in need of someone to Champion their cause. Once you triumph over the tormentors targeting you; you will be equipped and empowered to help them change their course toward Victory. Rise and be HEALED child of God; then minister His Glorious Power to others in search of Deliverance and Healing.

Remember the word of Christ
Matthew 18
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

And what Paul writes in 2nd Corinthians
2nd Corinthians 1
3 Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort;
4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God.
5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also aboundeth by Christ.



Many Blessings mighty man/woman of God!!!

You shall not curse the deaf, nor put a stumbling block before the blind, but shall fear your God: I am the LORD.

Romans 14:13
Therefore let us not judge one another anymore, but rather resolve this, not to put a stumbling block or a cause to fall in our brother’s way.

1 Corinthians 8:9
But beware lest somehow this liberty of yours become a stumbling block to those who are weak.

Isaiah 53:3-12

3 He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
4 Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.
5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.
6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.
7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.
8 He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.
9 And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.
10 Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the LORD shall prosper in his hand.
11 He shall see of the travail of his soul, and shall be satisfied: by his knowledge shall my righteous servant justify many; for he shall bear their iniquities.
12 Therefore will I divide him a portion with the great, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong; because he hath poured out his soul unto death: and he was numbered with the transgressors; and he bare the sin of many, and made intercession for the transgressors.

4runner iv never doubted your passion for the things of God, let God bring conviction, His good at it thru the Holy Spirit and according to His will not ours. We loose any credibility as far as I'm concerned when we cross the line condemning those who dont agree with our own understanding. God meets us where we are at personally and patiently leads us to all truths.

Eph 4
1 I therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, plead to you that all of you walk worthy of the vocation wherewith all of you are called,
2 With all lowliness and meekness, with longsuffering, forbearing one another in love;
3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.
4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as all of you are called in one hope of your calling;
5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism,
6 One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.

The best teachings always come from love and being patient with anyone regardless.

Romans 3:20-26
New King James Version (NKJV)
20 Therefore by the deeds of the law no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law is the knowledge of sin.

21 But now the righteousness of God apart from the law is revealed, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, 22 even the righteousness of God, through faith in Jesus Christ, to all and on all[a] who believe. For there is no difference; 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 being justified freely by His grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, 25 whom God set forth as a propitiation by His blood, through faith, to demonstrate His righteousness, because in His forbearance God had passed over the sins that were previously committed, 26 to demonstrate at the present time His righteousness, that He might be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus.

There is a difference in disagreeing with someone and blatantly denying truth. However this is off topic to say the least as I was not condemning anyone, but encouraging those that may be now or ever have felt beat down or defeated.

Yes very true, we must not do anything that would offend or cause an occasion for stumbling in our brothers, and sisters, in Christ. However as the op stated God will heal all our wounds.

Jesus said offense will come, no denying it, but He also said "woe" to the one it comes from that suffer Gods children. We all call on the name of Jesus as Lord and saviour, we are all Father Gods children.
We search the scriptures for life when life stands before us marked by the cross at Calvary.
Bible clearly states how to live in peace and walk in the light of His Glory

Jesus says not all that Call Him Lord will inherit the Kingdom but those that do the will of the father. i judge professing Christians by their fruit, not by their profession.

And yes you can tell what peoples fruit are by what they believe.

Lol, bible speaks of fruit, the fruit of the spirit. Also says judge not, if you are to judge you look at the fruit of the Spirit,
Gal 5:22-23 22But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, 23Meekness, wilful restrain: against such there is no law.

Looking to judge by their fruit, look no further than what the bible declares is fruit.

John 6:28-29
Then they said to him, “What must we do, to be doing the works of God?”
Jesus answered them, “This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent.”

John 5:13
I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life.

seems pretty simple.
but the new kids just can't stand that.

Even satan knows scripture, you quoting scriptue to try and oppose Christ will do you no good. When satan quoted scripture to Jesus, Jesus replied, and it is also written. I am not sure you know what it means to believe in Jesus. Even satan ''believes''. do you think he is saved?

Jesus said that to enter the Kingdom we must do the will of the Father, nothing you say can annul the very commands of Christ.

Matthew 7:21-23Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
These are the words of Jesus Himself. He declares there will be people that claim him as Lord, yet he will profess to them, "I never knew you, you who work iniquity" (or make it a practice of committing sin). We can debate if these people were ever actually saved or if they are what some call ''false converts'', but this we do know. These people truly and wholeheartedly believed themselves to be saved. Matter of fact I believe they were more than just church members, but leaders. As they claim to have prophesied, cast out devils, and done many wonderful works in the name of Jesus. So the question is not whether these spoken of here were backsliders or false converts, but that not all that claim Christianity are Christians. Not all that seem to us to be the most holy are really Christians. Not all that believe Jesus is Lord are truly saved. Not even everyone that honestly believes they are truly saved is on their way to Heaven. But only those that do the will of the Father which is in Heaven.

King James Version (KJV)
31What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

32He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?

33Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth.

Go ahead mr fruit inspector

Graves you cannot use scripture to try and cancel out scripture. Jesus said offenses will come. And the fact is many believers have been hurt through out their lives.
