Up right?

Come on ricky, you sounded just like Job when he got really self-rightoeous and his friends couldnt reason or comfort him.
What Job didnt know was he was being tested by satan. JOb passed the test though. Why cos Job was patient. And he prayed for his friends.

Those 60 years God sees. Its not wasted. He will lift you up when you humble yourself.

No we're good. If my ministry is to be directed at only one person, it's time to get to doing just that.

Watch out Michael. You think A-Venue broke you down...

Humble? it's only been the past year that I haven't been. Humble never worked either.

Well I thought we were good. But these last 2 days... wow, straight out of the pit of hell. While God looks down and watches it happen and does NOTHING to stop it.

One of the things I agonize over are the gifts. I'm a staunch supporter that they are functional and for today. I've seen God perform some amazing miracles thru them. BUT .... and it's a huge but .... I also know these are the exception not the norm. For every time God steps up there's 1,000 times He doesn't. And I absolutely refuse to accept those numbers. I don't know why, there are plenty here who deny them outright and don't even get the 1 out of 1,000. And I'm not even getting that any more, SINCE EVERY THING I TRY TO DO IS STYMIED STONEWALLED AND RENDERED IRRELEVANT by a cesspool of crap that God allows satan to dump on me on a daily basis.

How long did Job's trial go on? I'm pretty sure it wasn't from birth to present. Time for this to stop Lord. Defend me, or take me out of here. But DON"T keep allowing satan to keep dumping on me. It won't go well for either of us.
