Hi Reg
Welcome back to the forum. I have been a member now for a few months and have read Ray's materials for a couple of years before joining. You know Reg I have been tempted to go back to Church but I know in my Spirit it would not be good for me to go back to Babylon just for the sake of some fellowship. What fellowship would that be too, it would be nothing compared to what I have received here. I have met some wonderful people here that have helped me a lot and I've grown a lot since. It's hard I know Reg as I feel isolated as we are a scattered bunch of people on here. I feel like I die everyday and just want that feeling to go away.
God has as here for a reason Reg. I like talking to people on here so post quite often but others don't post as much but do what you feel comfortable with. My life feels like a rollercoaster and it's tough going through the dips. Honestly Reg at times extremely tough. We all go through this and it's part of God's process of dealing with us. I'm glad He is dealing with you and me as I couldn't think of a better place to be.
It's good for us the fellowship with one another and we are all different so just be yourself. Keep on reading the word and Ray's material. Keep seeking God - He has a great plan for you. Even though it's dark at times the Lord is still there. Reg I have a whole bunch of crazy emotions that go on in me and I feel annoyed to feel the way I do. It makes life hard but it also makes it worthwhile.
Reg I didn't join for a while because just coming on here and reading Ray's material and other people's comments was enough for me at that time and I knew it wasn't yet time for me to join. But as I said I joined a few months ago and I enjoy posting on here now in the various categories. Sometimes I'm more serious but a lot of the times I just have a bit of fun so I act in a bit of a silly one sometimes, guess because I'm kind of a silly person. But I love the Lord and try to encourage and help others even if I do fail at times.
Finally there Reg I've done the going it alone for most of my life and in a way I still do but I do need others in my life who have come to an understanding of God's truth and I am glad I have met people on here that have blessed me and have taking a interest in me. I would like to thank all of those that have done that for me and say that you are very much loved by me and I am very blessed to know you all and most of all I feel so thankful to God for leading me here even if at times it's so really hard and I feel so lost at times so God bless you my friends.
A few verses here for you Reg that I hope and pray will be of encouragement to you.
2Pe 3:17 You therefore, beloved, knowing this beforehand, take care that you are not carried away with the error of lawless people and lose your own stability.
1Jn 1:3 that which we have seen and heard we declare unto you, so that you also may have fellowship with us. And truly our fellowship is with the Father and with His Son Jesus Christ.
Joh 17:21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us, so that the world may believe that You have sent Me. God bless you my friend and don't feel to discouraged OK?
