Has this ever happened to you?

Roy Martin:
I know exactly where your at Stacey. I'm there too. I don't care to study or read anyone's teachings. I read a lot of things on Facebook and make comments; some foolish and some from experience, but my mind just never seems to seize thinking about God. I'm in a time of just wanting to live with Christ in me through experiences of my own as well as others. I don't fear mistakes because I think mistakes is the foundation of knowledge= wisdom and it all comes from God.
 I have no guilt or shame from where I'm at right now because I've learned that God is in control leading my steps and influencing my thoughts. I'm at total peace with that.

Peace
Roy

Ain't that the truth! MEE TOO. I don't know why but I cannot stay focused or locked in to reading and studying for very long at all these days. Is is boredom? I don't know. Thanks for sharing Bro.

Roy Martin - ROY MARTIN! Its good to hear from you! You been hiding out behind the scenes ain't cha. Well now, Face Book comments huh? I got one better for ya, not that I'm trying to one up ya but this should at least get a chuckle or too. Try out Yahoo Answers mainly the R/S section (Religion and Spirituality) for an anger/venting outlet! Talk about pure pointless, wasteful use of time; thats a place to let it all hang out.  ;D and AND, they give you POINTS too! You make a couple of really good points that I relate to in your post.

I didn't invite this not wanting to study thing, it just happened. I can pick  up one of Ray's papers and start reading and 5 minutes later, I'm done, can't continue for lack of want too. That, I hate, with a passion. I cannot stand to NOT WANT TO study.

Umm, did ya ever have one or see one of those old battery powered toy cars or trains that you turn'em on and they run around till they hit a wall and automatically turn and go until they hit another wall? Well thats kinda like me. I know Ima hit the wall sooner or later, but I don't care, and besides, I'll get up or bounce off of it and take off running till the next wall comes along and like you said, I don't fear what the wall (mistakes/consequences) may bring with it. <-- This is probably not healthy, and I don't recommend it.

I've been hanging around youtube a little lately. Just wanted to toss this in here.

Stacey,

YES, it has happened to me.  Sometimes, we need to step away from forcing ourselves into CARNALLY putting on the breastplate of righteousness.  I think God uses these feelings we get to show us HOW to be patient.  In other words, like the "spiritual prison" reference from earlier, we find ourselves like Jonah being brought to a point of brokenness and surrender.   God's truths take time to grow in each of us.  Some sooner than others, but it's all on His time schedule.   Not one Milli-second sooner, not one nano-second later. 

I can only say that when God inspires you to read, study, or teach in some way.  You'll begin to understand why you went through this phase.


God enlighten you
Ches

Hi Stacey,
 Man I have learned and trust God with all my heart that no matter where I am that He is in control, always teaching, humbling, changing me in everything I say and do.
  Get this; It was yesterday I think that I posted to this topic that I didn't care to study anyone's teachings, but this morning I get up and get my coffee and sit at the computer and before I know it I'm digging again into the L.O.F series with a passion.
I did that for over 4 hours as if it was the first time I had read them. It felt good.
 That was the first time I've read for quite some time. I have gone back though quite often when I need big bullets for a big gun cause you know Ray and LOF is big serious bullets. And when the going gets tough, this forum is where I come. This is where we are all like minded for the most part. We can't always say what we want, but that's okay. We have facebook and other outlets where we can vent and say and do things that quite often in my case comes back and bites me in the butt. Its all a part of the process.
 We never stop learning. Everything in my life has been a lesson and I know all to well that God knows exactly what He is doing with us, and its all good.
 I don't know my steps from one day to the next, but I trust God to lead me where ever I go. Interesting though isn't it that He had me back to reading Rays teachings today, and I got a whole lot of things from it that I didn't get before.
I don't have a clue what I'll be doing tomorrow. I could die in my sleep, but I do know that God knows what I'll be doing and what ever it is, it will be good. It might not be pleasant, but it might also be great. Its all good.

Peace
Roy
