Streams of Consciousness & Thoughts~~~

I happen to love that term. I'll wear it proudly.

I just don't like the idea of people twerking for Him,...as if Jesus is enjoying that,....PUH-LEASE....Sigh

I see that from where you sit in the arena, and as well see where the others sit too. only looking form their view to see what they see, if they are sincere as in belief or to make a mockery of Christ as this is where the word Christian came fromas a mockery to Paul and Barnabas, in Acts
So when asking God I get told who is who and what is what, not always right away, only on a need to know basis, so i do not fall into anymore ditches as have many a times over and over getting all excited in my flesh, hey wow, lets go over here and over there, with too much flesh emotion in the way, over excited and end up harmed.
Now it is not a case of others doing it. Rather a case of me not being aware of the Human flesh dead Spirits.
So now I seek to be aware first of me the self that deceives me well, so start off to be dead to self and alive to God in Spirit and truth, to be wise as a serpent, but remain harmless as a dove. In this wisdom God teaches we avoid being door mats as it it promoted many a times that Jesus was a door mat.
I heard this from two burly guys once as if Christ was a ____________________ and was trampled on, and how they wouldn't have done this, they would have fought back

I said what if Go, Jesus calls you out?
And they immediately replied why that would be unfair, the God-man, we would not stand a chance

Therefor I said do you now see to not mistake love kindness for weakness?

 

[homwardbound]

I hate when I can't keep my crazy under control.
But really...I'm like a ticking time bomb over here, the crazy has to go somewhere or it just...
KABOOM.
*sigh*

Just keep all that hot air out of the Balloon and you won't explode. I see giving all my cares up and trust in place for I do know this. Cares, worries and stress take away ones life and destroys them deeper and deeper and deeper if those stinking thinking thoughts are not vented and removed. Then learn truth over error and have the helmet on that does not allow them any longer by trusting God to show you how to stop the fiery darts from entering in to begin with

John 8:32 and ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.

And God has chosen you to be free indeed, as well as all if we decide to learn to .listen and stand fast in this, no matter what happens to us in this flesh that is nothing more than temporal, maybe it is for each of us to decide waht is truth over error
So anytime i see me in bondage, I know somewhere somehow I attached to error that put me in the bondage that I can get into easily.
so maybe see this what this world has done so well in accomplishing bondage to all

Galatians 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.

I post the above verse in AKJV, and below other translations that state the above verse differently, Why?

[h=3]Galatians 6:8[/h]New Life Version (NLV)

[SUP]8 [/SUP]If a man does things to please his sinful old self, his soul will be lost. If a man does things to please the Holy Spirit, he will have life that lasts forever.

notice the difference?
if A man does things to please his sinful nature then he is condemned

How many of us do what we truly do not want to do as is revealed in Romans 7?

So waht does the AKJV state?
All you have to do is truly not want to or want to it matters not, you will do what you do you not want to do, and truthfully all the more, when you become aware of sin consciously and will either reap more corruption or you will overcome.
Now if one overcomes, who comes to visit and lead?
Not God, Pride and prejudice do, ever been there yet and felt really good about self in accomplishing and then get knocked down 2 cor. 12:7-9 could be for you if this is you on a roller coaster up, down, up and down again

then there is I am just so guilty no can can stand me

did God come in the flesh to purge us our conscious-es to be cleared from sin to give new life to us in Spirit and truth or are we still to try to behave as the First chosen tried for years and could not by Law do it, not perfectly ever and had to year after year sacrifice an animal and shed its blood in order for their sins all that were committed prior were covered not ever taken away, just covered atoned for.
Where as today they are taken away by God at the cross for to give us new life in Spirit and truth
And thus we walk in love to all,
praying I see this deeper and deeper as well as all reading this here


[h=3]Ephesians 3:18[/h]New Life Version (NLV)

[SUP]18 [/SUP]I pray that you will be able to understand how wide and how long and how high and how deep His love is.

It seems to be a pretty sure thing, me moving. Mid to end July is what I'm guessing. I think my boss and coworkers will understand. I think my friends will too.

I think the hardest part will be leaving my church and my parents. It was hard enough to leave the nest the first time, but I think it will be harder this time since I've lived with them for almost 2 years (the first time I left, I had been living at college) and we have a great relationship.

I know I eventually have to fly. It will just be...a very sad liftoff.

And wherever you get planted Sister just bloom in Love

 

[homwardbound]

Is it possible that stress can and does turn into rest
Ex: a cat hanging on a tree branch, and is not going to be able to hold on, stressed and says oh Lord if I can learn form all bad that happens here on this earth, what a wonderful future I will have in trusting you and learn to hear not to go out this far again
We all you think need to learn our own individual limitations, so in stress are we being shown truth over bad things that are just a reality, that none of us want to face and hide instead?
getting tangled up my tongue and beginning to not spleak splain, Love from God still remains you all

 

[homwardbound]

I just... have no idea how to continue living.

Remember waht you shared here on Faith
F-orwarding
A-ll
I-ssues
T-o
H-eaven
I love this and use this and feel safe, thank you for that and pray now you do too, in the midst of whatever you are going through Sis

I am not whatsoever looking forward to tomorrow morning. We have an dermatologist appointment to go to for one of the individuals that I support. The dr has called an insulted our staff, our agency and took the guy off one of the meds that he gets, because by he has to get bloodwork done to check liver function cus it can be effected by the med. well by his records, he had not recieved blood test results since last October, but we had been getting a technician to come to the house and take the samples. We found out that they were being faxed to his other office. Yet he still lashed out on us, even though it wasn't our fault. So my coordinator called him, and he lashed out on her.

So we get to see him tomorrow -.- and it fills me with dread. So the coordinator is coming with me tomorrow, to support me and to have a few words with him. Either way, we are looking for a new dermatologist. I hate drama.

praying you see this and trust God to do this through you
[h=3]Matthew 10:20[/h]New Life Version (NLV)

[SUP]20 [/SUP]It will not be you who will speak the words. The Spirit of your Father will speak through you.

 

[homwardbound]

“He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.” Ecclesiastes 3:11

So stand and fight the fight in fighting without fighting and see it is by Faith in the finished work of Christ for us that we get to enter into new life and rest in God no matter what this life here throws up on us, thanks brother

 

[homwardbound]

I need to stop crying or at least wanting* to cry. There's nothing to cry about and I can't sit and cry forever.

-sigh-

Whenever you are ready is key you think? When you are done you are done, and that is what it is, when you are ready it will be done

Apparently, I have The Dishwasher Straight From The Zombie Apocalypse. It just won't die, but rather, keeps dragging on in a half-dead state. Tomorrow will be the 4th service call I've had to make on the stupid thing, and it's only 4 months old!!!

The company, thinking they could save money, just told me they would send a part and that I could easily fix it myself. Which is fine. Except that they sent the wrong part--not once, but 3 successive times after that. Finally, on the fourth try they actually sent a box with 4 random pieces, including the 2 that I needed. If I only had a motor, I'd have had enough parts to build a second dishwasher in my garage. But something else was wrong, and a repairman wound up having to come out anyway, and then missed the appointment and had to come on another day. It's annoying as heck because they'll say, "Ok, we'll be there Thursday anywhere between 8 and 4", and your entire day is shot waiting for someone who may or may not actually show up.

Now the stupid water isn't draining from the bottom of the unit. Now if the water was actually clean, I suppose I could use it as a koi pond or something... (I could just set the washer to "steam" and I'd have dinner in 20 minutes... KIDDING! KIDDING!) So I wonder if this time they're going to tell me to pick up a wrench and just fix it myself again. Which I wouldn't mind, as long as they gave me the right instructions this time.

Personally, I'd rather take my chances with the zombies. At least I wouldn't have to worry about them not showing up at my house.

Awesome venting awesome Sis, sounds like in spite of it all, you sent out the "Praise and worship band" that kills, steals and destroys all evil in front of you as you put up with the mess in front of you. awesome

 

[homwardbound]

Well, I've got one issue resolved. I'm eating at Panera Bread this week (nope, not optional), and I was freaking out a bit because I NEVER know what to order there, because not only am I gluten-free, but I'm dairy-free too. So I felt REALLY stuck. Panera has a power menu that's gluten and dairy free, and isn't some bland salad. I feel MUCH better knowing my game plan for that day and that it's also a nice, healthy choice. You guys never know what you got till it's gone, so appreciate what you can have, people.

Amen to that Sis, awesome

I wonder what was going through Custer's mind when he realized that he'd led his men into a slaughter?

Forgive me if I don't write this in quite the right way, but it is weighing heavy on me this morning.

As I am starting my day, I receive news that a friend had been contemplating taking her life. Every life is important, but this woman holds a special place for me. I stop what I am doing to pray for her. As I pray for her and ask the Lord to be with her , I say to the Lord that "no one deserves to feel that way about life and to suffer in such a way." Then something happened that has never happened before. I stopped my train of thought about her situation to go back and explain to the Lord that "okay I know deserve may not be the right word, because we all are sinners and deserve all of the pain that comes to us, but it is through Your grace we don't."

I have NEVER done that before. Why? The Lord knows where my heart is when I talk to him, and I have never felt the need to necessarily be that careful with my words with Him. He knows me and what I am trying to say. After this happened, I sat down for a moment and thought about what would possess me to think I now had to be more careful of word choices when I chat with Him. Then it came to me, and to be honest, I find the answer somewhat frustrating.

I am not trying to knit-pick at anyone, but I realized what caused part of my frustration. It is found in some of these forums. Countless times I have read a post by someone shredding another person's post based on one word they may have used while ignoring the overall point to the message. It makes a feller nervous or afraid to ever write anything. The idea that this nervousness has now found its way into my prayer life is unbearable.

So now that you are aware like a serpent and see error, don't eat it when you see or argue against, just tell truth God just love you tooo. Th enemy can do nothing about your salvation in Christ completed, but to try and bring in doubt, and when these evil seeds get planted in our brains, and if watered as to wonder the seeds take root against God's truth, that God does just love you and all.
And nothing can separate God's love from you, from God's view ever
So maybe lets do this below and see through the sight of God
Romans 12:2
Do not act like the sinful people of the world. Let God change your life. First of all, let Him give you a new mind. Then you will know what God wants you to do. And the things you do will be good and pleasing and perfect.

How does God view you through Son

Colossians 1:22 in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

What then when see this truth as truth to you, what do we now need? Could it be this below
Romans 5:10 For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.

So what did Chirst come to earth to do? Was it new life born again in Spirit and truth? by Faith in god's work for you and all?>

 

[homwardbound]

God does know your heart. But if you ask me, this is what is happening.
He wants you to love Him, and He wants you to love others. So you should speak to others as you talk to God. (On a level, God is number one and is worshiped when people are not.)
And you must be a good example for Him, so maybe He is correcting your speech, so that you may avoid saying the wrong thing to someone else.

I myself feel convicted to correct things like this, whether with God, or with people. All I can say is, if you feel it laid on your heart, then you better fix it.

All i can say is maybe learn this below scriptures are for all that beleive and not just the Disciples, for if you believe you are included so see please through, getting me out of the way is what I see Christ was out of the way. Christ was out of the way he did not want to be though and prayed Father if there be any other way, any Father, never the less Father you know best, your will not mine. Can we even begin to see and understand this, I pray so, so here you go fellow beleivers

[h=3]Matthew 10:16-20[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]16 [/SUP]Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves. [SUP]17 [/SUP]But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues; [SUP]18 [/SUP]and ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles. [SUP]19 [/SUP]But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak. [SUP]20 [/SUP]For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

So maybe see to not fight flesh with flesh, Rather with the Spirit of truth of God only in Spirit and truth maybe?

John 4:23
But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
John 4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

I can somewhat relate. While i've learned and grown a lot from CC, i've also picked up an attitude of judging what i hear other Christians say. I was once eating out and overheard the guys next to me. They were Christians talking about their church, the bible, etc... and most of what i heard was good, but i spent the whole time lying in wait for their 'one bad doctrine' to come out so i could 'know' how off they were. When in reality i only heard one non-essential thing i discussed and a lot of encouraging talk and love for God. Once i realized i was doing this my mind flashed to CC (especially the bible forums). Perhaps this is why it's good to break from CC every so often. Its good to learn from, but it's still full of screw ups (myself included). Easy to get negative influences as well as positive if not careful.

And so read the parable of the seed spreader, where some fell on stony ground and others on and some in fertile soil, and ask God to put you in this fertile soil, are we willing to stand through all those trials here on earth that come to steal, kill and destroy us? or are or will we be choked out by the cares of this world in more that just physical life, Spiritual as well in carinf so much for the other that we get lost in trying to force on others waht to believe instead of:
Romans 14:4 Who art thou that judgest another man’s servant? to his own master he standeth or falleth. Yea, he shall be holden up: for God is able to make him stand.

So what is the best things to do trust God and say what God wants no planing before hand, as to what to say or not to say, which comes from doubt (you all decide) whether planing prior what to say and or do if it is from God or is from the self wanting to be right with God and or accepted by others?
When we are if we do believe and make the choice to beleive as it is done:
Ephesians 1:6 to the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

So even before we all here were ever born by Son Father has accepted us, and now seeing this do we need acceptance from others?

Yesterday, I worked. I haven't done so much in a very long time, and today my body is objecting.

Ow.

Ranch work is hard. Trying to restore order to a ranch that's been sadly neglected is even harder. Not that I did it all myself, and not that I was able to do much in the grand scheme of things...but maybe some lives will be a little easier for a while. I dunno.

Ones that plant a tree today, do not enjoy its shade, yet those afterwards twenty years later do and thank you

MissCris, you are making a difference.

She has become a doer and not just a hearer, she heard and hears direct from the source

[h=3]Hebrews 8:11[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]11 [/SUP]and they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest

 

[homwardbound]

Focus on God, not on them God cares for your heart

(PS: Watch the Dead Poets Society)

trusting God to separate truth form error
error puts one in bondage and truth sets one free from it you think?
So how?
[h=3]Hebrews 8:11[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]11 [/SUP]and they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest

What makes you think that gambling is wrong? Life is the sum of the choices we have made. A lot of these choices are calculated risks. Avoidance of all risks in life is another choice, and perhaps not a wise one. To me, that is the purest form of gambling, and is the one roll of the dice that will lead to the greatest loss. Just ask the guy who hid his master's talent in the ground so that he would not risk squandering it and incurring his wrath. You win some and lose some. It's all about how you play the game that really counts and not the profit and loss.

Sorry you mis understand what I said, I showed both views and never said it is wrong for I know as Paul said
Romans 14:14 I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean.

It is what does with what one has or not has that either it stays clean or is defiled and trampled on, and harms the wheat, so this is why the tares grow together with the wheat until god calls an end to God's Mercy for all. whenever that be.
Sorry you did not get what I was saying and pray now you do

 

[homwardbound]

The getting out of bed part is probably a necessity. I agree with the rest of your statement. To mitigate the risk and increase the possible benefit one must consult with God and not just casually toss the dice. Snake eyes. Again, it is a matter of choice. 7 eleven.

Therefor we learn to act our wages given, yet earned in a since, yet given and not our IQ's you think? Have gambled and if had the money might do it again, lived in sin city for about nine years Lost Vegas, and yet I found a lot more love there than many of the places I have lived and I have been taken by the hand being placed all over the land

You know, I like how you have a Godly view about everything.
But you can tell when people are joking right?

Not always, i do get tooooooooooooooo intense in God, knowing what I have been through. That is a weakness I need to learn the discernment in so thank you in reminding me, and please if do it again, remind me
I thank you Brother in advance
