If I didn't know that I know that I know that God has all things under control, that the devil can't derail God's plan, that everything is going just as it's supposed to go I wouldn't be able to get up out of bed in the morning considering the condition this present world. is in. I learned one good saying from one of my teacher's in Babylon this is actually worth keeping. And that is "don't doubt in the darkness what God has given you in the light." God bless you, be with you and give you the peace that passes all understanding Dave.
Ninny:

Dave in Tenn:
I'm thankful to have been in yall's prayers. I didn't mean to be so cryptic. The 'hard times' I'm going through are just the kind of hard times endured by people being judged now. My natural life is a mess, but not difficult. This walk in the Spirit IS difficult. It seems to me so far very much like Ray teaches from Revelation about the burning of 1/3 of the trees and 1/3 of the grass, etc. It's beyond difficult...the carnal mind is deep-seated enmity with God and not subject to His Law...nor CAN it be. It's hard to die, and I am not about to fake my own death.
I respect the Lord who destroys both body and soul in Gehenna. I'm not a 'victim' of anything. I'm the criminal. It's hard to bear sometimes...I think that's why the work He does comes incrementally. We're getting there, just like everybody is and will.
Anyways, the 'worst' seems to be over and I'm still here. He'll beat me yet.

It's so easy to get that 'victim' mentality when I begin to see He truly is in control of EVERYTHING. I should know, because often it feels so unfair. It is hard to bear, and the only thing that keeps me a little sane is the fact God is operating all according to His will, so it has to turn out good. I shouldn't blame Him, He did nothing wrong, and does everything right.
Luk 23:39 Now one of the hanged malefactors blasphemed Him, saying, "Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us!"
Luk 23:40 Yet answering, the other one, rebuking him, averred, "Yet you are not fearing God, seeing that you are in the same judgment!"
Luk 23:41 And we, indeed, justly, for we are getting back the deserts of what we commit, yet this One commits nothing amiss."
Luk 23:42 And he said to Jesus, "Be reminded of me, Lord, whenever Thou mayest be coming in Thy kingdom."
Luk 23:43 And Jesus said to him, "Verily, to you am I saying today, with Me shall you be in paradise."
Some great day Dave........ ;D
