Only if They Knew

(1/3) > >>

My heart sometimes goes out to people that I do know and don't know.  Only if they knew what we knew.  I just feel this way sometimes and when I catch the bus everyday, I start to talk to them and then after that they try to avoid me or get angry.  I try not to debate even though I can do that well (one of the pride things that God had to burn out of me in the beginning of understanding God's Truths: another story in it's self).  It is just sad sometimes when I see people live there very lives and need answer to why does this happens and why that and we walk around (the Elect in the making) and know some of the answers to give them.  God has shown me through these last several months on how to answer a man in his folly and not to answer at times.  I am glad that God has shown me a little wisdom in this subject.  Before I was an, what Ray would say, "a religious hobbyist" trying to persuade everyone that I knew more about God than anybody in church but after you get stump and embraced a couple of times, it definitely will change your attitude.  I know these answers now but it took God's grace and embarrassment to learn this and trust me it did not feel good at all.
     Last night, my old girlfriend who is a "super saint" in church invited me out for dinner.  A couple of months ago, she kicked me out because her pastor said that us living together was not the right thing to do which I agree with that but the motive for her even having a conversation to her pastor was that I was trying to get her to change her mind about church.  I showed all the scripture that I could and she would believe for a week and then right after church, different person.
     Anyway I try not to say anything more about the Word of God to her anymore because I think I told her enough and I don’t want anymore arguments with her.  I ask her what was the most important thing that was in her life and she told me three things.  She told me school, her health, and her promotion at her job.  I kind of gave her a shrug as to there is another answer that I was anticipating and she said what?  I responded “oh nothing”.  She wanted to know if I was waiting to see if it was about our relationship and I told her that is not was I was thinking and reminded her what I felt about the relationship.  You see, I told her that it was more important that she learned the truth of God’s word than our relationship.   She got upset and said that I was wrong and that I was on my to you know where.   So after that dinner was not the same.  Whatever I talk about (mostly about the subject she brought up as being the most important things in her life) she got upset and after about 15 minutes of this, she was ready to go home.
     I say all this to say that it is my prayer that if it is God’s will that she will see the light of God’s Holy spirit and see what we see.   My heart really goes out to her and everybody in my family and friends.  People have deserted me and that is okay.  I have been humbled by it all after following Ray for almost 5 years now.  I have learned a lot and still learning and boy has it been a journey and I just praise God that He has changed me.  He has really brought me low with my pride and everything else and still more to burn out.  I am so blessed that it looks like to me that I am on the right track to prove that I am worthy of the Kingdom.  I have been persecuted hard especially in the last year and a half and Ray was right when he said in one of his sermons that if you don’t have any persecution in your life it is surely coming.   I used to want to kill myself when it first happened but through God’s Word,  I take joy in it now.  It still hurts but only for a minute or two and YES IT GETS WORST AND WORST but we graduate.  LOL! 
     Anyway, I don’t know why I shared all this with all of you except I know yall got my back because yall my family  and I think that someone needed to see and read this.
God Bless to all, Rob(blakparty)
P.S  I will pray for everyone who reads this  ;)

Hi Rob,
I know it is hard to know when to say something and when not to...I'll pray that God will give you the right words to say to the right people at the right time! That is the best we can do..is wait for God to tell us what to do..The worst thing is NOT telling people what you know..the WORST thing is to know that God is LOVE and to KNOW that He is an awesome Father and not reflect that in our lives..Now maybe that's just my opinion...that's usually just the way I see it! :D

Hi Rob,

There's nothing wrong with loving people enough to want them to know the truth.

Thanks for sharing.

hi rob,
thanks for posting your thoughts.  you never know what God will use through our posts that someone, somewhere needed to read.  i know that with me personally, when i am sitting at a busy intersection waiting for my light to turn green, i sit and look at all the people around me.  people in the cars around me, and people on the sidewalks, and homeless people.  and, i look at them all and then meditate on the fact that the majority of the people i was looking at, are not even aware that they are deceived.  kinda like, they don't even know that they don't know they are 'being blinded and made deaf to the Truths of God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ.  when you think about the Wisdom and Ultimate Promise, that is being exercised by God Almighty to bring His Divine Will into place in each of our lives, well...it can blow your mind  :o 8).  but, it is our honor to show them all mercy and love them as Christ does.   mercy received, and mercy given to others, surely is our Father working in our lives too.

I always feel gifted when we as Truth seekers can use the Holy Scripture as beacons of light, to the Truth. Then counterpart that, to the Truth. Don't let the world read this,because they will not believe.They would rather see you burn in a hell hole of eternal torment than believe the Spirit of Truth.

1Ti 2:4  Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.

Luke 3:6 And all flesh shall see the salvation of God.

Isaiah 40:5 Then the glory of the LORD will be revealed, And all flesh will see it together; For the mouth of the LORD has spoken."

Isaiah 52:10 The LORD has bared His holy arm In the sight of all the nations, That all the ends of the earth may see The salvation of our God.



Psa 82:6  I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

Joh 10:34  Jesus said to them, "Don't your Scriptures say, 'I said, "You are gods"'?



Rev 22:17  And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.


Peace...Mark
