In your country you treat women like something that is called garbage, you don't respect a little girl born and some or many are thrown out with the baby clothes on the streets to become prostitutes, then you come here and criticize. A lesson for you from a women, here, to do something in your own strength is and will be difficult, try turning to the LOrd Jesus for he said, My burden is light and my yoke is easy, and if you notice the dates on that thread, there is no condemnation to those in Christ Jesus, as we grow, we learn, from things in life, and your not the one to point things out, it's the work of the Holy spirit. You start with Lol your not a believer at all, but a phoney, and I do stand not behind a wooden pulpit but behind the blood of Jesus. Were all called to proclaim the gospel, sorry you don't like my preaching here, so don't read it.
Romans 14:10 But why dost thou judge thy brother? or why dost thou set at nought thy brother? for we shall all stand before the judgment seat of Christ.
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.

One thread asked why are things not like they were in the times of Jesus.
Jesus said, my peace I give unto you, the Holy spirit he gave us, and Father God has not changed.
There is only one {ONE} Jesus, and only one doctrine of what he taught. He called Paul, and the other's to go and proclaim his word.
He also said, that many false teachers have gone out into the world.
There are hundreds, maybe thousands of different church denominations, and there on the rise, of every sin, now, and to make it very clear there calling their churches, the very sin of what they are practicing.
There is only one Jesus
He preached one TRUTH
The scriptures say, why are there divisions amonge you, someones church is better or the right one.
This is why the Word says, "If you put your confidence in the arm of flesh, you are cursed.

And the battle is still the same today;
John 3:6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Acts 2:17 And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
Romans 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 8:4 that the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit.
Romans 8:5 For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.
Romans 8:9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.
Galatians 4:29 But as then he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now.

Something happens bad to us, someone stole from us, lied, spouse cheated and so on and so forth.
What is the first thing we do, how is it that we in this flesh react to it?

Angered, mad, want to get back at them, grow stronger, build better restraints to stop the enemy from entering again.
Turning to God and yelling, screaming get them.
Are you with me so far, have you thought of that one or those people you just have trouble with forgiving? Have you begun to get mad, remembering what happened that you do not like and do not want to face, just sweep it under the carpet, until it comes up again as right now?

So what do we do with this? I know we hear all the time, just give it to God, well how do I do that and be settled in that?

We hear love neighbor as self, and if we do not love neighbor as self or as God loves us we don't understand and become even more frustrated right, at least this did happen to me?

Then we hear give up and let God, God is the creator, how can "I" let God, "I" am the creation?

So all these tragedies happen here to me, you, you and you here on earth, and we respond mad, going to get stronger, become wiser, and trust God, do we not?

Tell me where is humility, where is talking to God saying to God, thank you for this tragedy or that bad childhood upbringing, "I" know realize whatever has happened to me has, and there is nothing I can do to change it, "IT IS WHAT IT IS" whether I like it or not.
Now Father please teach me how to react and not convict?
Since you did the below:
1 John 4:19 We love him, because he first loved us.
1 John 2:2 and he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world.
1 John 4:10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

How about instead of trying to love our neighbor as self or as God, creating this to be and be caught on the merry-go-round, over and over again, worried, stressed, angered, frustrated, all in and of our flesh that is natural to do react and act stronger as we learn.

Why not respond to God in God's Mercy with Thank You, for this Mercy through Christ? I mean we are the creation not the creator are we?
God is not a vending machine is God?
So repent is in order "once" to turn to God in wanting to know God, his righteousness, peace and joy found through his Holy Spirit given to us the first day we believed. The next is have we continued to believe and trust God all in all, or have we decided to build better fortresses? Be stronger, ready for the enemy to thwart the enemies attack on us?
Maybe we need to see what God did for us again and what Paul was the minister of: Humility?


[h=3]Colossians 1:21-23[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)


[SUP]21 [/SUP]And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled [SUP]22 [/SUP]in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight: [SUP]23 [/SUP]if ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;






Now see what Christ said about humbleness:

Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 23:12 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted.

Then James says:
James 4:6 But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
James 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.

And Peter confirms:
1 Peter 5:5 Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
1 Peter 5:6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:

So can we endure tragedy(s)? Can we trust God all the way through, as we do get attacked by the enemy, Flesh, the world, that are not redeemed? Can we by God in faith to God live above our circumstances?
Or are we going to try to get stronger, build better flesh, stronger flesh, and be all we can be?

Praying whoever reads here sees, as it is God that does the real revealation to me, you, you and you, seeing the difference here what is explained in flesh and Spirit of God. How we as flesh are taught every time we are down we are to stand back up and become stronger and more forgiving, when flesh can't, not perfectly anyway and is why we need each to ask God the Father for the new life and where is that doorway to it?

[h=3]Philippians 3:10-11[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]10 [/SUP]that I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; [SUP]11 [/SUP]if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.

Thanks to all and love to all.

Asking is great, not received yet, might be an error in your truth, keeping you from being set free to what you ask for?
I remember when I did that asked over and over again, please, please and trying to achieve, achieve, achieve, frustration setting in, will I ever can I ever? I hate what I do, yet I do it anyway, every time I wish to do good I find "me" doing evil, what I want to do, need to do, "I" can't. Who will save me from this perplexity "I" am in?

Sister it is all Christ it is finished in Christ
John 19:30
When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, Itisfinished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

After this giving up the ghost, this is what it did in the sight of Father to Father for you and me and all who will believe God at God's word;
Colossians 1:22 in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

Colossians 2:16 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or of the new moon, or of the sabbath days

Christ did it all for you personally, me and all the world, if they will beleive?

Ephesians 1:13 in whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

So you see that faithfulness of God and God alone?
By God through God the Son which they are one in Spirit, making you one in Spirit with them, by installing the Holy Spirit of promise in you the very first day you believed, God's righteousness that is implanted in each believer, ready to grow up through you, if we ourselves would get out of the way, and stop trying to do what God through Son has already done

See the new life it is only in Spirit and truth, (John 4:23-24) flesh is considered dead and we exercise Faith in this, saying thank you in advance, starting off with that I am past tense forgiven through Christ, made perfect and forever Holy in your sight Father, thank you,(even though I just sinned) I am forgiven before I can even blink an eye, and no more forgiveness I know without shedding of blood, and Christ was and is the last sacrifice for sin period between God and man, yet there is more between each of us individually, yet not between God and you personally, forever.
So now I do not know how, yet I know you Father will, cause me to stand. Thank you for this future from you. I am not pleading anymore I am exercising Faith in your finished work walking right into the throne of grace in confidence of what Son has already done for me, thank you, thank you, thank you, I see the love now, and now can't not love, because of this love you put out to us all in response I again thank you

Instead of please, please, please which comes from doubt

Thank you Father that Toska and others will see your truth beyond a shadow of a doubt, thus by your power walk as Christ walked by Father's lead, juist as Christ showed us all how to walk in dependency on Father whom is the only one righteous, and we by Faith get to be partakers, not imitators

Faith with no doubt, enacts what it is as the woman said all she had to do was touch his robe and she would be healed and she was. Jesus confirmed it many a times it was faith without a doubt. If Adam and Eve had no doubt in God would they have still eaten from that tree. With no Doubt I think not
God does just love us all, believe, receive and see, Man is the liar, God is not

Thank you so much for the wisdom of your words. You are right, I still have trouble handing everything over to Him even though I know that it what I should be doing every single day of my life. Your words make perfect sense to me and I know that I need to become stronger in my complete faith in God.

I am so grateful for people like you who are willing to take a new Christian and explain things in a way that is easy for me to understand. God Bless you.

Toska: I think of the Lord Jesus, 'Who, when He was reviled, reviled not again; when He suffered, He threatened not, but committed Himself to Him that judgeth reighteously' (1 Peter 2.23).

10. Romans 3:24-25 “Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God;”

Toska, Sister thank you, and am elated to help in practical sense, if want, led or just curious go to blog, FREED AT LAST
I have been on this for over a year now, and have posted others stuff there as well, that might help as well, For we all have a view through the looking glass, and what each sees each sees, and can and is used between believers Iron sharpens iron.

And yes there are those that are fakes and wrong motives out to deceive, yet I know God will not forsake his ever and use the deceptions to teach us truth. Always looking for the Gold nuggets that every person has, whether they realize it or not, Gold nuggets of and from the Spirit of God delivered to us in Spirit alone by Father of Son Christ, Without the cross this could not be done today

Thank you, homwardbound. I will definitely be looking at your other posts and your blogs. Be warned, I will probably have questions for you about things I am not sure I understand. You and the other main posters on this forum are the type of people I was hoping to find here, someone who knows the truth and is not afraid to speak it. Being a new Christian, I have a lot to learn and I appreciate your wisdom. You are a true gift, a gift that I value very much. All I want in this life is to walk with Christ and please Him. All of your posts are a huge step toward helping me learn to give everything over to Him and let Him be in control.

Toska, thank you Sister again, please whatever you do, watch out for putting your faith on other people as me, Christ is the only mediator between God and you.

So everything you learn, take it to God for confirmation, for that is why God came to live in you to teach you truth from error, in order to set you free in him.
Just learn what is truth from what is said, by me and others as well, God in you via the form of Holy Spoirit that Christ sent you the day you first believed teaches you of God the Father and Son the Christ
Ephesians 1:13 in whom ye also trusted, after that ye heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that ye believed, ye were sealed with that holy Spirit of promise,

[h=3]Hebrews 8:10-12[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]10 [/SUP]For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: [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. [SUP]12 [/SUP]For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more.

The greatest laws of all are the love laws God and neighbor, these are the fulfillment of all Law, and I found I could not receive these Laws to do without first seeing:

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

Then after this reception I saw this:
[h=3]Ephesians 3:16-18[/h]Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

[SUP]16 [/SUP]that he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; [SUP]17 [/SUP]that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, [SUP]18 [/SUP]may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;

The Mystery I found is that God just loves you, me and all people, start from there and get taught truth for we all here are only planters and waterers as Paul and Apollos were and are in Spirit

1 Corinthians 3:6
I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.
1 Corinthians 3:7 So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.

So listen, learn and love regardless of what others say or do, by this God teaches you personally
John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Man flesh is not free and many times acts as if it believes for its own gain. The context here was and is about unbelieving men of that day that played as if they believed, which personally I have learned a lot from
