I am just a little frustrated today. It is just incredible!! I got nervous reading the responses to a thread. I am afraid that maybe I have caused some division. Even as much as I want to blame myself, I can't. This thread proves it, as even the last few threads.

It is the word of God that cuts deep. And when it cuts too deep, we see the manifestations like never before. I have seen this manifestation before, and it made me afraid. Alongside of it comes anger, and bitterness, and mockery and hatred, and strife, and envying. It is a manifestation out of hell, as the tongue is then ruled by hell, and then can follow blasphemies and deceit and all manner of evil.

I woke up nervous today, wary. I am just ashamed.

There was no thought of any person in particular when I posted this AT ALL. How could you take offense unless it was in you to begin with? If it did not apply to you, you would have said Amen, and praise the Lord for his goodness and kindness.

I know the Lord is also ashamed to see this. Will you now hang me too?

I knew that I would not be liked, and I was fearful. Many times I desired to go away from here, to just leave, and let people go about their own business till the Lord comes and wipes them out. I pulled a Jonah, but I got rebuked and here I am gain. Perhaps, perhaps, maybe the Lord will cause someone to repent. PERHAPS!

I asked the Lord for many souls, but now I will just settle for even 1. Even one that will repent and BELIEVE the gospel. JUST 1.

There is my complaining, but know this, that it was to the Lord before it was to you.

May Jesus bless you.
yeah i'm still nervous and ashamed.

perhaps we can read some Bible verses to ease our hearts Ramon? :)

I like this one about God's peace...

James 3
17 But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality and without hypocrisy. 18 Now the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.


also this one about His love....wow this wasn't the one I was going to post but I think we need to read it so I'll share it with you Ramon, Lord have mercy for they do not know what they do. May His grace and love pour forth and protect everyone and the bonds of darkness be broken and the Light of God pull people out of the murky filth of sin and lies.....

Psalm 109

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

1 Do not keep silent,
O God of my praise!
2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful
Have opened against me;
They have spoken against me with a lying tongue.
3 They have also surrounded me with words of hatred,
And fought against me without a cause.
4 In return for my love they are my accusers,
But I give myself to prayer.
5 Thus they have rewarded me evil for good,
And hatred for my love.

6 Set a wicked man over him,
And let an accuser[a] stand at his right hand.
7 When he is judged, let him be found guilty,
And let his prayer become sin.
8 Let his days be few,
And let another take his office.
9 Let his children be fatherless,
And his wife a widow.
10 Let his children continually be vagabonds, and beg;
Let them seek their bread also from their desolate places.
11 Let the creditor seize all that he has,
And let strangers plunder his labor.
12 Let there be none to extend mercy to him,
Nor let there be any to favor his fatherless children.
13 Let his posterity be cut off,
And in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered before the LORD,
And let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.
15 Let them be continually before the LORD,
That He may cut off the memory of them from the earth;
16 Because he did not remember to show mercy,
But persecuted the poor and needy man,
That he might even slay the broken in heart.
17 As he loved cursing, so let it come to him;
As he did not delight in blessing, so let it be far from him.
18 As he clothed himself with cursing as with his garment,
So let it enter his body like water,
And like oil into his bones.
19 Let it be to him like the garment which covers him,
And for a belt with which he girds himself continually.
20 Let this be the LORD’s reward to my accusers,
And to those who speak evil against my person.

21 But You, O GOD the Lord,
Deal with me for Your name’s sake;
Because Your mercy is good, deliver me.
22 For I am poor and needy,
And my heart is wounded within me.
23 I am gone like a shadow when it lengthens;
I am shaken off like a locust.
24 My knees are weak through fasting,
And my flesh is feeble from lack of fatness.
25 I also have become a reproach to them;
When they look at me, they shake their heads.

26 Help me, O LORD my God!
Oh, save me according to Your mercy,
27 That they may know that this is Your hand—
That You, LORD, have done it!
28 Let them curse, but You bless;
When they arise, let them be ashamed,
But let Your servant rejoice.
29 Let my accusers be clothed with shame,
And let them cover themselves with their own disgrace as with a mantle.

30 I will greatly praise the LORD with my mouth;
Yes, I will praise Him among the multitude.
31 For He shall stand at the right hand of the poor,
To save him from those who condemn him.

Ananda, I am cautious about praying against those who do wickedness, simply because if God answered that prayer for me when I was in wickedness, I would not be alive today, and I am sure that if I died in my sin, I would be in hell, with not hope of ever returning.

We are not talking about temporary things, if only people could see. It is not a religious game, or a play play church movie.

Many people are on their way to hell if they do not repent of sin and follow Jesus. Now, do you think I want to pray for God to destroy them? Seeing as he can also destroy me with them, if I believe somehow my own salvation gives me the right to judge?

If I were able to meet Hitler before he died, I would not throw stones at the man because of what he did. Sure, I would be angry if it were my family, but I know what Christ would do. I know what Paul did when he was in front of the officials of cities, when on trial for his life. He tried to convince them of the gospel.

But there are people dying every day, and I will not glory in the fall of any man, lest I fall because of my own foolishness. NO!!!!

It would be better to let a man kill me, than avenge myself and end up in hell. We are not talking about temporary things, We are talking about eternal life, v.s eternal damnation.

ETERNAL!

We should all consider ourselves.

May Jesus bless you.

yeah that is why there was this prayer before the psalm...

Lord have mercy for they do not know what they do. May His grace and love pour forth and protect everyone and the bonds of darkness be broken and the Light of God pull people out of the murky filth of sin and lies. In Jesus name we pray, Amen.



2 Corinthians 10:3-5
New King James Version (NKJV)
3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. 4 For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, 5 casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

And so the sheep and the goats are seperated, but hey I hear all goats that want to be sheep, only has to go through the BLOOD! I am a goat, and I will soon be on the sheep side, why? I LOVE the sheep. I love the goats as well, but I do not want to be one for another day! Did the Lord not say His Word cuts even between soul and bone. And it has two edges.... Then I amsure it can also cut ALL EVIL FROM MY MIND!

Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

Here is what I am lead to do when I see an evil thought rising up in my mind.... As I KNOW ALL EVIL COMES from my old master, the master I am being made FREE from. As soon as I find my mind trying to climb into the filth, I IMMEDIATELY ask LORD JESUS HELP.... And look how faithful Jesus is.... For in that he himself hath suffered being tempted, he is able to succour them that are tempted.

You see Ramon, like you I also gave it my ALL to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and HE is the one that helps me to EVEN BE RENEWED IN THE MIND!!! And then sin CANNOT even get to my mind, BECAUSE JESUS IS THE ONE I ASK FOR HELP!!! And HE CANNOT DISSAPPOINT. Thank God that He is and always will be ready, TO HELP!

I know Jesus will restore us to His Glory, to be LIGHT BEARERS TO THE DARK ROOMS IN THIS WORLD.

"Lord give me and Ramon CRUSCIFIED FEET TO WALK WHERE YOU WANT US TO WALK. GIVE US CRUCIFIED HANDS TO HELP THE ONES YOU WANT US TO HELP. GIVE US CRUCIFIED MINDS TO THINK OF ONLY YOU AND YOUR WILL. AND GIVE US CRUCIFIED HEARTS TO LOVE EVEN OUR ENEMIES. AMEN!

I loved the scripture Ramon, thankyou for posting it. :)

As I read the many comments in this thread,I began to consider how to speak to my own feelings.
Then I realised its not about what I feel or think.
Its about what Jesus would say to this.
Then the simple was given.

Mark1015 " I assure you whoever does not accept the reign of God like a little child, shall not take part in it"

Luke 9: 48 "Whoever welcomes a this child on my account welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me, welcomes Him who sent me; for the least among
you is the greatest."

Luke 9: 49 It was John who said,"Master, we saw a man using your name to expel demons, and we tried to stop him because he is not of our company."
50 Jesus told him in reply,"Do not stop Him, for any man who is not against you is on your side."

May we all learn that the true maturity is not seen in knowladge, but the presance of Jesus seen and lived in truth.

Ramon, I hope you will forgive me for adding to your post.
It was only done in hope that we all will know humility before Jesus . :)

in Jesus, God bless.
