Love of truth?

Gary,
Thanks for your explanation, I could not have said it any better. I have all this head knowledge and so desperately want it to be heart knowledge. I have to trust God's timing.
Do you ever feel like you hit a brick wall in your spiritual growth and you are confronted with the same problem or challenge over and over and over again, seemingly not learning anything from it? If the proverbial brick wall was real, I would exhibit some very severe bruising. I understand you completely!

at this point I'm looking at myself and wondering two things:  if Christ is in me at all why can't I get past some things and "die to self" from events that happened in my early childhood that so affected my life; and another is: perhaps I have "head knowledge" only of who Christ is and what he was sent to accomplish.   If either is true I shouldn't be wasting time learning of the things of God and Christ, or being a member of this forum.

dear gary,
learning of the things of God and Christ is NEVER a waste of time. you have been shown many, many Truths of His Spirit by reading through ray's teachings and by reading all the threads and posts on this forum. you know that it was God who lead you here. learning of the things of God and Christ is necessary in order to be able to be shown the Truths of the Scriptures. AND for sure you are not wasting time being a member of this forum. as i mentioned already, GOD lead you here. and we love you. your past post contributions are a testament that His Spirit is working in you. Christ is in you gary, and you are in Christ. as marques and others have stated, replacing (carnal) head knowledge with a knowledge of His Truths takes time. it took years of dysfunction to put the scars on your heart and in your mind. although God could transform you in a moment, it is His will to do it otherwise. as ray has said before, overcoming can take our whole lifetime to achieve. BUT, we cannot stop yearning for and searching for His Truths.

i love you my brother gary,
claudia

Gary, and even after you are mostly dead to carnality there will arise the beast again and again. Just know "IT" for what it is and suffer through it, pray you will not offend God during this time. "IT" will pretend to have died until it gets one little access into our minds. That's why I pray for God to guard my mind and heart. I said the other day I thought I would have to have a silver stake driven through my heart to end this torment at times. Judy

So very true Judy, even after a year of reading Rays papers, Scriptures and the post here this beast of mine continues to arise. Sometimes I wish for death, or that I was not even born. Thanks Judy. :-[

George, Gary and all,
Sometimes I think God is moving in all of us because we are all going through these things. I think we need to pull close and pray for each other all the more!
