How do we know if we're converted?
Deborah-Leigh:
G. ...as for "stupidest questions"...I don't think there is such a thing! LOL ;D :D
Gina:
I know for sure that I'm being pulled out of the world.
I was five when my father picked me up and stuck me on the roof of our shed to keep me from annoying him while he tried to relax with the family in our backyard one summer afternoon in Maryland (it was piping hot that day, and the shed roof was covered with those black shingles). I thought I was just being playful, but my dad was in no mood! I remember how mad at myself I became because instead of making my father happy, I made him angry, and instead of being able to play with my family, I was forced to be separate from them--all I could do was watch and observe. And my dad pretended I didn't exist and ignored every plea from me to give me another chance. lol To a five-year-old, a half hour seems like an eternity. Consequently, I never annoyed my dad like that again.
As an adult I can see that that was likely the beginning of God's "chastisement" (Heb. 12:6) on me.
It's not easy being a lump of clay. But I'm sure learning a lot! ;D

There's a saying....Fire is a poor Master but a good Servant.
If fire masters you, it will burn you out of hand.
If you have mastered fire, then....as a Ministering Spirit!....
Heb 1:13 But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?
Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Who shall be heirs of salvation? Everyone! Non lost!
English translation?
The mind will individually, badger, harrass and plague the conscience to succumb into bondage and imprisonment. Part of the process. :D All meant to be. ;D Nothing wrong. 8)
A conscience set free, is free in deed. Who the Lord sets free, right... 8) ;D
Heb 1:9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy fellows.
If you are miserable, unkind, suspicious, fearful and hateful of other God has created...if you are unforgiving, resentful, unappreciative and deceitful...then hey...guess what....You're miserable! :D
If you are joyful, trusting, delighting in the Lord of Heaven and Earth, appreciative of life and love, joy and peace, kindness and goodness...then guess what...You've woken up! ;D
Glory to God!......for family! We are not alone! No one is alone...ever!
God's with us!...the True Light of Love and Joy.
A GREAT question Gina. Thank you~
Hoping others will bring their own UNIQUE perspectives, colors and light of joy in perceptions to answer you further!
