God has done dramatic changes in my life. I used to be so selfish and unkind, have an addiction to pornographic materials, cussed like a sailor, had extreme road rage, had severe anger issues, and addicted to games stress worry. He has replaced all that with hheavenly devotion. I praise the Lord for changing me. His work in me is far from over. I need Him daily. I am grateful for his love mercy and grace. Praise Him all the days of my life til the day I die.

Amen brother, I can relate to every point you touched on. I do have to add while my "road rage" is much better, I still have a LONG way to go on that one issue. Praise His name for Jesus sacrifice to enable us to be change by His Spirit.
 
precious jim,

you are such a rare, honest soul,,,please believe us when we tell you that your
un-selfish witnessing and confession have touched our Spirits beyond belief...

I've not really had much of a problem with 'road=rage', but when others honk at me for not responding
in a millisecond when the light changes, or if they feel that they just have to show me in some 'bubba'way
that they are upset with me for something that my driving skills has offended them for?, my Father
puts into my heart and mind that they are in a very 'dark-place' and that I should not be offended,
but that I should do as He would do, pray for them and use His Love and forgiveness and understanding.

talk about a challenge! we must pray, every day that our Father will teach, remind, and heal us of our
'old worldly ways', especially when we are required to treat others as He does, concerning such
un-holy and un-kind behavior.

a Christian's behavior is to learn how not to become entangled in the 'world's emotional-frustration-anger'...

our job is to 'look UPWARDS and to be conformed to the Image of Christ's Holy Behaviour'.....

if we react to the way that the 'world' reacts, then we are slaves to that iniquity, but if we react
as Christ in the flesh would react, then we are slaves of righteousness'...

Luke-Warm may feel safe, but it is vomit in God's mouth...

I absolutely agree and thank you so much for the kind words brother, they really mean a lot. What you said here "they are in a very 'dark-place' and that I should not be offended,
but that I should do as He would do, pray for them and use His Love and forgiveness and understanding", He has been leading me to see more and more each day.

I remember being able to point out peoples problem, talk, think about then solve for them, and just coming at it from such a hypocritical standpoint like I didn't have my own list they were more than likely sorting out for me as well. But now since He changed me and He fills us with His Spirit and it can ONLY lead us to truth (as we learn and experiences His ways the way He created it for) That when I think about or see another person in conflict with themselves I do grieve for them and want them to find the only true peace you can find on this planet.

It is still blowing my mind that God is "really real", and He loves us enough to want us all reconciled to Him, and at peace in Him, for all time.

That said I agree, and I see it as His verification that we are walking in the right way, before Him I didn't want to do these things at all really. I do not do "works" for attention or to "mention" to someone. He change my heart, is the only reason I would even want to do some of these things in the first place, and I want to do them, I do not not feel burdened in ANY way.It is a freedom I never knew in world and He makes it worth too. It just something you cannot know without Him and He takes any and every person that believes, but know and I understand how big a word believe can be in the "whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life".I could keep on going forever about it, but thanks again man I agree and have come to the same understanding of those points.
