The good news according to Ray

(1/3) > >>

elias3013:
If Ray's teaching is true and I believe most in this forum do believe, and I can convince myself that it is the gospel truth, then I have found just what I was looking for.

I am new to this forum, but after having read a lot of Ray's teaching, my understanding is that God is in complete control of everyone's life and destiny and His will will be done in Heaven and on this Earth.

If God's will certainly will prevail in my life, then I have nothing to worry about. If I do wrong then I know that God knew about it in advance and it must have been His will, or I wouldn't have done wrong in the first place.

One of the great things that I have learned from Ray's teaching is that no matter what happens during my life and no matter what wrong things I do, I know in the end that God will make everything right in me when I am put into that lake of fire which will purify all the bad things in me and prepare me for eternal life in His paradise.

That is really good news.

I hope that God has revealed these things to Ray and he is right and I can make myself believe them.

I hope that I have explained this correctly and would welcome any comments.

Hi Ron, I am glad God brought you in here. I want to share with you that , when I was lost in Babylon I never had any peace  with God. I believed that most of the world was going to go to Hell. God, was working on me then.  I was between a rock and a hard place. I had failed God big time I thought. I would ask him to forgive me, but I could not feel any peace that he would.  I was in a spiritual prison. I felt so terrible I wanted to die, but then was afraid to die cause of Hell. That, night I begged God for his truths. I came out to my computer typed in Hell. I read Rays articles for two day with only a couple of hours of sleep. It was God who made me believe what Ray presented here.  

I have to tell you only God can enable you to believe. We cannot make ourselves do anything.

Ron, I would have been one of those who God would have said, get away from me you worker of inquity. Why? Because, I did not know him , I believed that he was like man and could not forgive. I was trying to serve a cruel God. We know, that is useless. No, one could ever please a God like that.
We could never have peace in our life. I know, I could not.

That, night I believed I repented ,that I never knew his character ,and asked him to forgive me for ever thinking  he was the lowest form of a man.

One verse that Ray used in one of his articles that stuck in my head, that night is a small verse but very powerful.

Job: Chapter 4 verse 17  Shall mortal man be more just than God: shall a man be more pure than his maker?

I used this verse for my Mother In Law and she told me it did not make sense to her. I even asked her if one of her children were to bow down to her after there death would she forgive them. She said, Yes, of course. I said, do you think you are above God. Sad thing she still did not get it.

So, Ron only God can open our ears and our blind eyes.  I believe, God brought you in here for a purpose.

I have compassion on you Ron . There is no one who can see on there own. This is where the few and the many come in. The few see it cause they have God's Spirit.

In His Love,
Marlene

Hi Ron,

You have stated the basics of the truth as I see it to be.

This statement almost makes it sound like there is no problem whatever you do, good or bad, and that being purified in the Lake of Fire will be no big deal.  It would be much more desirable to be purified now through chastisement to correction, than later in wrath to correction.  

Rev 19:15  And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, so that with it He should strike the nations. And He will shepherd them with a rod of iron. And He treads the winepress of the wine of the anger and of the wrath of Almighty God.

It is all of God and He causes these desires in us, but it is good to desire to be in the first resurrection, which is the very high calling that so few will even have a chance to receive.

Php 3:13  Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Php 3:14  I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Paul looked on our desire to make it in the first resurrection as a race and worthy of striving for.

Heb 12:1  Therefore since we also are surrounded with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
v. 2  looking to Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right of the throne of God.

1Co 9:24  Do you not know that those running in a race all run, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain.
v. 25  And everyone who strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Then those truly that they may receive a corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

And Paul also speaks of what ultimate glory it will be to enter the first resurrection.

1Co 2:9  But as it is written:
       "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard,
       Nor have entered into the heart of man
       The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."

So it's no time to sit back, but rather put on your running shoes  ;D

mercy, peace and love

I believe that Ray does not lie.
I believe that you do not have the power to "convince yourself".
I believe that only God's Spirit can do this for you.
I believe that God's will will absolutely prevail in your life.
Peace
