I really liked your analogy with your husband divorcing you after 37 years. It is like having been married to someone who has deceived you for so many years while you were absolutely clueless because you trusted him.
It has been a painful journey since I left Babylon although what we have here is so much better. Everything that needed to be shaken was shaken; there is only one foundation left and that is Christ.
It is sorta strange, I would much rather hang out now with a bunch of unbelievers than have a relationship with a so called "Christian".
I don't want to hijack this topic, so I will leave it at that.
Yes, Alex, it is nice to know you are not alone. However, I am no material for sitting on one of the thrones some day unless God does a major overhaul in me. I can see the "beast", I live with her day in and day out... it is not a pretty sight.

May Christ fill our hearts with His Love.

Firefly77,

I am right with you on that. God needs to work a miracle in me to make me anywhere near able to sit on one of those thrones. But what do we have in this life other than to trust Him? We are nothing but grass :/ Here today and gone tomorrow. We can only trust in Him. So i trust... it's all i have. Nothing in of ourselves is worth trusting, is worth building up.. we just... are beasts. Life is tough when you know that.. i remember when i first had my eyes opened up to all this, i felt like such a burden to God, like i just wasn't worth to speak to Him. I still feel that way... alot of the times. That i'm waisting God's time, that i'm a traitor. I know i can' t decieve God but sometimes i feel like im trying to decieve Him because im so carnal. I say ill do this, or i wont do that, and i find myself doing what i didn't want to do... Just like paul. Than i see myself saying "O wretched man that i am.. who will save me from this body of death?"

The 21 years that i have lived, all i see is this;

Revelation 13:7 "And it was given unto him [THE BEAST] to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.

That's all thats going on here.. war with the saint.. and this saint is overcome everytime... though i be no saint :(

We are not worthy because of anything from ourselves, But:

2Th 1:5 (GW)
Your suffering proves that God's judgment is right and that you are considered worthy of his kingdom.

2Th 1:11 (GW)
With this in mind, we always pray that our God will make you worthy of his call. We also pray that through his power he will help you accomplish every good desire and help you do everything your faith produces.

Rev 12:11 (KJV)
And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

That's me too. I get so fed up with myself that I somehow project my feelings about my shortcomings and sin onto our loving God, thinking surely, He must be fed up with me as well. At least, and that's the good news in all this, I see the sin, am aware, and desire to be changed.
Pressing on...

Angie and Alex, You are so right. But, I do believe he has given me victory over some of my sins. The difference now is we can't stand any sin in us. God is still doing his work in us. Remember, he is trying to teach us to become like him.He is patient. He wants us to be patient. Maybe this is how he teaches us patience.

After, coming in here and learning the truth it seemed he grew me rapidly all at once. Yes, I still sin . I hate it. But , learning to wait on God is teaching me patience. He has been  patient with us. We need to be the same with him.

Our trials will make us better. We will become more like him. Just, wanted to uplift you all who feels burdened with there sin. God is working in us even when we may not see it.

In His Love,
Marlene
