GOOD MORNING TO ALL......

love what you wrote Sister love it
Just an added thought if one is 100% forgiven and sees this no matter what it is.
Can they not forgive?
If one is loved beyond measure and they see this, how can one not love?

1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.

So what we do is it a response to what is done or a work that has to be done in us by our doing it?

Sister Thank you for that, there are many books written right there at PTP ministries that see that it is finished by Christ for us. And have personally read most of them, yet in all the readings, I have asked God to reveal truth over any and all errors, even if I grab onto any errors, I know, belief this:
God will cause me to stand in God's love to all and not be an appollos or a Paul, a Peter, a James or a John, for all these are as PTP ministries is a minister of Christ to bring truth to you as they see from what is written in the word. And from what I see if it does not equate love to all, then there is possibly, likely an error in there somewhere that is stopping me from being free in truth
Sift all through your new heart where you truthfully serve God and not man

Another Book that I thought was very interesting, is called "What is so amazing about grace" Phillip Yancey the Author
And another one for your Husband if willing is called "A man in the mirror" By Patrick Morely
To look at different views from others is quite IMOP important in discerning truth over errors. For I believe God to straighten it all out any errors I receive and practice, God to me has been faithful in this and have learned much along the way, to the point when James said count it all Joy when entering divers temptations and understand that today, when I did not and kicked against the pricks in thoughts that kept me in errors
James 1:2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;

Thinking in this term, praising when problems come, what does that do to the problem, in ones thought process, even though the problem is real
EX: I lose my Job, become disabled and can't work ever again

If my thoughts are anger over it, when it is what it is, what good will that do in the fact that it is what it is? Will bad thoughts ever change that fact?

Now what if one just praises the fact that it is what it is, and does whatever they can in response to the fact they can't do what they did anymore?
Who has over come the enemy or you residing in truth?
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.

Did Christ overcome the world for himself or for you personally? To do what free you from what?
Matthew 6:25-34
“So my counsel is: Don’t worry about things—food, drink, and clothes. For you already have life and a body—and they are far more important than what to eat and wear. Look at the birds! They don’t worry about what to eat—they don’t need to sow or reap or store up food—for your heavenly Father feeds them. And you are far more valuable to him than they are. Will all your worries add a single moment to your life? ...

So one can act one of two ways from this verse, they can take God for granted and go and harm others without care for others or they can appreciate this so deep, pone can't help but to help others with the care that has permeated all through there being The true Love from God to all though Son who died for us to give us new life in Spirit and truth
Love you Sister and all people as God does, and has shown Mercy from day one of the fall of Adam and Eve to all, regardless of how they act or have acted
Today is the day in reception of the whole truth from God LOVE to ALL

Matthew 5:6 Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

By not ever giving up Sister this truth becomes a reality and no pride or bragging gets in ones way anymore seeing past trying to do what is right God eventually reveals truth in how to reside in this righteousness
[h=3]2 Corinthians 12:7-10[/h]Living Bible (TLB)

[SUP]7 [/SUP]I will say this: because these experiences I had were so tremendous, God was afraid I might be puffed up by them; so I was given a physical condition which has been a thorn in my flesh, a messenger from Satan to hurt and bother me and prick my pride. [SUP]8 [/SUP]Three different times I begged God to make me well again.
[SUP]9 [/SUP]Each time he said, “No. But I am with you; that is all you need. My power shows up best in weak people.” Now I am glad to boast about how weak I am; I am glad to be a living demonstration of Christ’s power, instead of showing off my own power and abilities. [SUP]10 [/SUP]Since I know it is all for Christ’s good, I am quite happy about “the thorn,” and about insults and hardships, persecutions and difficulties; for when I am weak, then I am strong—the less I have, the more I depend on him.

absolutely welcome, remember please ask for God's discernment and check scripture in context as well

I think I will say it like Bob George said it many times, do not take my word for it, dig in the word and check it out for yourself
One thing he said that I had to just prove him wrong about, and could not ever
That was we are forgiven by God through Christ at the death of Christ, that there is no more forgiveness to be granted to us from God the Father, it is not written anywhere in the word that we are to ask for more forgiveness after the death of Christ on the cross.
So I took that challenge and pplease anyone reading this please taker this challenge as well, find anywhere in the word, that there is any ongoing forgiveness from God to us after the death of Son on the cross

And 1 John 1:9 does not say to ask for this forgiveness over and over as what is commonly reported as is. There is nothing about receiving the forgiveness of the cross over and over again. Either you recieve it or you don't. If you receive it that by the cross you are forgiven then it is what it is. If you don't you get stuck in as if you are under the first Testament where year they had have their sins transferred from them to the innocent animal.
Is that true with Christ? Or is it finished as he stated
John 19:30
When Jesus had tasted it, he said, “Itisfinished,” and bowed his head and dismissed his spirit.

By his death did he bring in a new covenant or not?
[h=3]Hebrews 9:15-17[/h]Living Bible (TLB)

[SUP]15 [/SUP]Christ came with this new agreement so that all who are invited may come and have forever all the wonders God has promised them. For Christ died to rescue them from the penalty of the sins they had committed while still under that old system.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Now, if someone dies and leaves a will—a list of things to be given away to certain people when he dies—no one gets anything until it is proved that the person who wrote the will is dead. [SUP]17 [/SUP]The will goes into effect only after the death of the person who wrote it. While he is still alive no one can use it to get any of those things he has promised them.

The reason for the three days dead is the proof, and then the resurrection in order to give us new life in the Spirit and is why no flesh efforts of flesh rewards will ever be rewarded for God:

[h=3]John 4:23-24[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]23 [/SUP]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. [SUP]24 [/SUP]God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Is this in Spirit of God whom we do not see or our ways of worship, by flesh, that we are patted or not patted on the backs from others?

All our righteousness is as a filthy rag, listened to a little sermon about how we could offer Love to someone, in forgiving them. It's been done many times, even on death row, people have forgiven them, and deeply love them, aside of what they've done.
On the other side, there are those who say "they will never forgive". o.k. not having Jesus, who cares about somebody else, but with Jesus within us, we could offer love, he said, even giving a glass of water to someone you will not lose your reward. During this Easter, Christ bore much agony, he was hated, mocked insulted, to even have his beard pulled out, like he was some kind of animal or chicken, getting feathers pulled out. Maybe that is why it say, in the 91 psalm that he will cover us with his feathers. Jesus was very human. He hungered he wanted to rest, he cried, he fell under the weight of the cross. He was a prophet, did miracles, and why don't we think we cant' relate to him, as one on one, he was human just as we were, brought down from heaven in the form of man, a high priest that is not untouched with our crys, hurts, and infirmities. He is tender hearted, he was grilling fish on the beach for the fisherman, and said, come have some breakfast. Washed men's feet, taught us the same thing to do spiritually to not abhor ourselves as something, for without Love we are nothing. We need Jesus.

Thank you, for these reminders to keep in check, reckoning me by the cross dead to flesh sin and alive to Christ having the Advoicate Jesus Chirst the righteous, for any and all sin, never taking that for granted, rather appreciating it, telling God I did not walk by trust and in flesh, can you please show me how to not walk in flesh exercise that only puff up my mind, and others as if we are in unredeemed flesh when we are only in Spoirit and truth, made alive by you Father through Son, and Thank you being it all you and none of me but to stand in Faith (trust in you)

I see me kind of like a toaster, the toaster is made to toast, and man; us your children Father are made to serve you in Faith to you through Son
I see just like the toaster can.t toast unless it is plugged in to it power source, can't do its job without the source
So today Father plugs us in by Faith, Thank you Jesus for the way, truth and new life in Spirit through you

Yep,
Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away.

Philippians 3:3 For we are the circumcision, which worship God in the spirit, and rejoice in Christ Jesus, and have no confidence in the flesh.

Philippians 3:7 But what things were gain to me, those I counted loss for Christ.
Philippians 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

Filthy rags, oh yeah I agree, I can do nothing other than beleive, thanking God for his escape measure through Son and by Son alone, the way the truth and the new live given to us in the resurrected Christ in Spirit and truth, a gift to us that believe, that starts at his death for us to die to self with him, and wait to see Father raise us to new life in Spirit and truth, Father does this for free, and my response is Psalms 100:4

Sister read Jonah, how he went to Nineveh and preached to them, as he came out of the bid fish, after running from God to not go there, knowing there evil, the God a Merciful God would turnb away his wrath if they would repent to not do evil and believe God
Now to understand one thing is the Ninevites worshiped the fish and here comes Jonah out of the belly and says to them turn or burn
And they repented and Jonah was pissed that they repented, from Chapter 4 this is explained, and time for God to deal with Jonah as Jonah set up camp outside the city to watch and see what would become of Ninevah.

Jonah even said to God he knew the Mercy and how the ninevites do not deserve Mercy as this person you talked about that you got angry with, as you are not alone in this Sister.
So after understanding, what Jonah was mad about in not understanding God's undeserved Mercy to Nineveh, God Showed Jonah comfort at first by the plant that grew over to shadow Jonah and comfort him, then God caused a worm to eat the plant that gave Jonah comfort in shade and caused a wind to stretch over him with heat to not comfort him, to show him his own pride as if he is righteous and is not and that God who made all, can give Mercy or not as God chooses

We are first born flesh and are taught to be God, by what we do or do not do, which in essence gets one to strive to do good, and that is good in itself, yet sets flesh ourselves up for pride, and desires of getting pats on the backs from others, and self righteousness as you just went through and are now humbled, praising God for this victory of God through you, as the thought comes of flesh to praise self as if this is your victory, and it is not ours it is God's alone through you believing God to cause you to stand, with the help of others for you to see. Again now here comes flesh for us to put our Faith in a Pastor, a Friend, a Church and so on and so forth.
The evil can care less if I go to Church, if I get counseling, if I read the word to know God, as long as this evil can keep my eyes off of just trusting God, through Christ, In other words as the Pharisees said to Christ their Father is Abraham, and Christ said immediately if Abraham was, then they would believe in Christ as the only way, the only truth to Father for new life in Spirit if one sees them-self as dead in Spirit and needs this to live, then one will ask
Who will I ask, My Friend, my Church, my Pastor, my Husband and everyone I see around me and get all kinds of answers right?
Why not go to the source, the same as a toaster can't do it's job it was created to do, without electricity it's source to be able to do
So Just ask God to plug you in and listen as you go in this life to what God says inside you and be set free as is what he came to do was and is to set us free from worry, bondage and stress. To walk in the new life dead top old self and alive to new self in Spirit and truth, where we only trust, Father to do in us and through us what flesh can never do and that is be perfect.
God through Son accomplished that for us, to us by trusting in his finished work to us, we thus walk in freedom and just love all, especially those that do us or others wrong, knowing that God's Mercy leads to repentance, as is what brought you and Husband to beleive and search out the whole truth
I know that is what brought me into the kingdom was the kindness I got in the midst of troubles I caused, I saw it should have been death to me, period and God was kind to me in spite of, I \was and can easily be again A Jonah and feel and think I am better than those Ninevites, Thanking God God always sends either comfort or takes it away for us to learn, that we are not better than anyone else and since he has poured out his Mercy on us completely forgiven, how can I not forgive or love all, and ask God for God's words to work through me, me that old flesh selfishness out of the way and just be amazed at God's work through, those that just trust in thanksgiving and praise

So I quit for now, I can go on forever, why? Because God made me alive forever, thanks for anyone reading and seeing it is all God and we are no more than vessels to be available for God to use us

Jonah the book of shows me the two sides of the teeter totter, one side up thankful for the Mercy and rejoices, the other side down not understanding why they got pardoned and are pissed about it

Kind of like my Sister gets raped and the rapist is pardoned, when he begged for Mercy, not easy to understand is it?

And oh yes there are those that take the mercy for granted and do not stop, guess what anyone that does not stop see the parable about the man that cried for Mercy got it and went out and took others to court for them to get what was owed to them and they cried out for Mercy and this man that got mercy himself did not give it out

What does God say happens to this man that takes his Mercy for granted, He was dragged right back into court, to pay every penny he was pardoned for
Mercy we have received, Mercy we shall give in thanksgiving and praise shall we not?

Sometimes it is no, and when we do not understand why the no, or have faith as to a reason and it is probably the right answer, yet Spiritual forces from high places is the warfare, and the temptation(s) placed upon us become more prevalent with the thoughts of I can't do this or that, and when can't guilt floods us and kills us and when we can, pride, arrogance and boastfulness take control, so how do we escape that way of the flesh born in flesh a Son of Adam?

How by Faith, (trust, belief) that God will teach us how to walk as Jesus Walked, we are forgiven, maybe time to accept that we are and ask to be taught how to walk?
And how do I do it through Faith in Jesus Christ, the \Author and finisher of our Faith?
Do I think maybe, I need to watch for me in the way as to doing things what I think should be my way or copy your way as I interpret scripture right or wrong?

Is my Human flesh desirous to live and control its surroundings to be safe? Being taught from birth on to do good to get good, is that by chance turn to look at me I am good or look at me I am bad, and or look at me faking being good in front of the crowd? Have we not all been taught to be good actors and actresses, and is temptation always present, even when iut is silent, being in this world of craftiness?

Just some meat to chew on, all the answers are in you, where God has taken up resaidence in you, having compassion to you, for you and thus one spreads that out to others in true love to others, actually caring for another soul, once we see the care for ours by God the creator of all, shown by Son Jesus Christ, and not yet anyone has done better in love all the way to death for us, to rid us of hate, one to another
Thank you and a good morning to all

So maybe time to trust and accept the No in trust to God has your best interest at heart

Good early afternoon........... 12:09 PM here..........

Been away awhile, so having to catch up on all the comments on all the threads.......may God bless and keep you each and everyone through this day.

Glad you are back, missed you

And a good morning to all, not mourning I pray, and if it is okay, it is natural to do so, yet please not overdone, time to maybe say "it is what it is" whether one likes it or not, is it what it is? Can anyone change it?
Healing for me never began until I saw to face it "it is what it is" and even though I do not like it in many cases "it is what it is" Once I decided to face it, healing I noticed started
So to all that are hurting out there know first of all you are not alone, and are loved, maybe not by others from your view, but I guarantee you, that from God you do not see the same as the air we all breath, we do not see yet are sustained by it are we not?
God does just love us all, start each morning in thanking God that no matter what others say or do, stop and remember God just love you too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! as is also for all, just not all have received this yet, and thus walk in it
So love to all from God through me, and you and you and you, like a domino effect you all

' 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
Chris
