Who's turned against YOU?

Wow
Arcturus, you can say so much truth in each sentence! "Demons OBEY GOD perhaps better than any one of us carnal, natural vanity bound weak hearted plank eyed citizens of Gods workshop that is making us into His Image!" I think you just referred to about a couple dozen bible verses that come refreshed to my mind in just that one sentence alone! LOL ;D
Yes I agree that we must guard our hearts and take nothing for granted. That Moses only saw the promised land from a distance is indeed very sobering. My goodness, the miracles God did through him, the ten commandments, Mt Sinai, crossing the red sea, 5 books of the bible. I guess that shows the sovereignity of God pretty clearly. He gave Moses much, and made his name great, but did not give him everything. So I appreciate that admonition cause it was correct and apt; cause I can think of my weaknesses and I know only by the grace of God will I make it to the promised land, I am in training and running the race so that my greatest desire is to reach it, it is the pearl of great price that one has to sell all to get; yet I believe the understanding and more importantly, whole hearted acceptance of these truths are a signpost that this is a stepping stone to that destination!
IF sadly, :( I was to become a castaway, I believe it would not include a rejection of these truths because I seriously could not go back to eternal hell belief, it would destroy me; but it would lie in my not dying daily to my carnal desires and letting the spirit rule me in ever increasing measure. I judge myself and allow Gods fiery trials, and yes some have been almost more than I can bear, do God's work in me. I hope it does continue to the day of Christ Jesus, God's workmanship, in me, I mean. That is the only way to make it, if he keeps and preserves me, as His workmanship.

Arc,
This is a topic much needed in my life at this time. No one has deserted me...yet. But once I begin to tell people the truth-they aren't going to like it. Thankfully my only sister is at the very least sympathetic to me becasue she and her husband left the church system years ago and boy did they go through the wringer-people still pester them about getting in a good church.
Anyways, that's off the subject. I appreciate your strength, knowing it is God working in you. I ask for strength and courage to tell it like it is to those around me. My husband has already heard it, and he disagrees with me but has not disowned me. I hate hiding and I pray that I can be bold. I want to leave my church but just can't do it at this time knowing the stir and pain it would cause. Maybe in the coming months and years God will drag me out. I pray He does because I am sad and discouraged there. I know people may turn against me-it's inevitable. But God will be with me. Thank you for sharing your situation and your heart.

I believe it is for people like you, like my sister, like your husband and like all the captured souls under the tyranny, oppression, domination, despotism and cruelty of hypocrisy, insincerity, double standards and two-faced deception and dishonest, murderous, mortally deadly poisonous plagues of Babylon, that God has warned us about, it is for people like US, for US, that God has prepared and equipped our L. Ray Smith to be the one appointed to reveal the clenched fist of God’s rebuke against the quote “swill” that “keeps the world starving from malnutrition “ L. Ray Smith.
My own sister may lose her life due to the pressure to appear faithful ,after being manipulated to cut me off, that I know is caused by God, yet this purpose may well be to exhibit in real life terms, the extent of depravity to which the murderous Babylon will go to disfigure marriages, relationships, families and the sanity of sound minded understanding that is destroyed by sham, trickery and deceptive practices of Harlot Babylon.
Strictly speaking, Christendom should be held accountable for culpable homicide. It will be!
Let us stay strong as Ray exhorts us too. :)
