I was so delighted to read your rendition of how you'd like to face off evil. ....not ducking or hiding but eye to eye...not an eye for an eye :D :)...but a stare down in fullest recognition of what evil is... (Gen 3:22  And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: )...THE PLAN...THE PURPOSE of GOD burns in you dear brother to recieve knowledge of the foe and fullest insight of Your God!  8) :) Wonderful! The fire is good for you! :) It is bringing out the BEST of the Spirit of Your Lord and mine, Your King and ours, into focus....manifestation....

Dear Brother Alex,
No apology needed! I knew it was a simple mistake, no worries.  :)
For my part, I welcomed you, rather than welcoming you back! So we're even!  ;D

Yes, I think Dennis nailed it too!

--- Quote from: lilitalienboi16 ---It is THAT powerful and by looking at men around me, men that have come before me, men older then me.. it scares me... I see EVERY MAN struggling with this well into his old age. I Just wish It didn't have to be that way..

Firstly I just want to tell you that I very much appreciate this topic you started Alex, it is a blessing. :) Your quote above reminded me when Ray talked about the goodness of God which leads us to repentance, and also how Paul boasted in his weakness because then he was strong. How else will we learn to become totally dependent on God? So these verses are just as much for me as anyone else.

2Co 11:30 If I must boast, I will be boasting in that which is of my weakness.

2Co 12:9  And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
2Co 12:10  Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong.

Rom 2:4  Or despisest thou the riches of his goodness and forbearance and longsuffering; not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to repentance?

This tells me it has to be the way it is, so we learn to totally depend on God, but I think you know that already. So like I said this is more for me than anyone else, I really needed it. If it helps you or anyone else, that is a plus.

Peace & Discernment to you dear brother

Hi Alex
I know all to well where you are coming from, but take heart in these words.

Hebrews 5:7-9
7-In the days of his flesh[Jesus] offered up definite, special petitions [for that which He not only wanted but needed], and supplications, with strong crying and tears, to Him Who was [always] able to save Him (out) from death, and He was heard because of His reverence toward God- His godly fear, His piety [that is, in that He shrank from the horrors of seperation from the presence of the Father].
8-Although He was a Son, HE LEARNED [ACTIVE, SPECIAL] OBEDIENCE THROUGH WHAT HE SUFFERED;
9-And [His complete experience] making Him perfect [in equipment], He became the Author and source of eternal salvation to those who give heed and obey Him,

He knows where we came from, where we are now, and where we need to be in the future.
In the hands of the Master Potter.

Joel
