In the fire...
Mike Gagne:
I am almost two months out of hard trials and afflictions, from a nine month go around. I seen the work of the smith who fans the coals. 10 years clean and 5 years with no smoking, the ambers were still there and he came and fanned the flames and a fire was burning. Started using again and started smoking. I have been in judgement ever since the flames started and now that they seem to be simmering down a little, there is judgement constantly. I have been plucking and casting, and judging every thought of all that happened in that time and it is Jesus who has been holding me accountable for those things I did willingly and bringing it to my mind for me to judge. I also know that if there is judgement from the world for any using of illegal substance's then it was given to them over me from above. I only now see how to count it all as joy, as it is killing a wild beast, me!! Jesus has set me apart, I only have a few and I can only find them here. There is no place like this in the world.
I said all that to say that LRay Smith was given from God the truth to write and to teach the few!! I have read the lake of fire series many times now and just this week almost finished it again and in my life I can see me in that whole series except 16 part D which I hope an believe in my heart will be in the future. Everything he has taught is truth and there is no deception in it. And how do I know, Because I turned and seen my life and who could have written it in that series but God.
My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;
Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience.
But let patience have her perfect work, that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing.
The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
My prayer for the children of Israel, the few
On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them,
The LORD bless thee, and keep thee:
The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:
The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace
Love to the Brethren
P.S Thats what I learned, the Fire is real!!
In the FIRE
Humbly

Hi Michael.
Standing and falling seems to be how God teaches us, It matters not what one does for I see no distinction from one sin to another, If one is willing to break the law then they are a law breaker.
Its strange how one sin comes out of our lives only to see in time its back again, I always credit God for sins removal but my weakness and circumstances for its return. I ask God what is it I'm to understand from such a thing ?
These things only reinforce that without Christ I can do nothing on my own.
God bless.

Hey Michael,
Be blessed. I have done a lot that I'm not proud of and I still do. I often think about how God uses me to be humiliated. God chose Ray for a work and He chooses me for a different work. If I look at my life from a perspective of glory, or once Jesus has put all enemies under Him, how do I judge my worth or value now? Who suffers more, the person that does not know God at all or the one that can call on the Lord and knows he is heard?
My point is: I'm not sure on the difference between getting stoned to death for the sake of the gospel or getting stoned on drugs. God has ordained both events and is working both for good. Our heart is to love people going through either and be a blessing to both. Again, be blessed and rest in the truth
Mike Gagne:
Hi Rick.
My post was to encourage others that LRays teachings are from God and that if you can see yourself in them, then you will know that you are reading the truths given from God! I never ever seen my self in any teachings from the church.
your quote isn't for the few, its for the many

As in adam all die, so as in Christ all will be made alive. So Adam is under the law of sin and death. Now if I was baptized into Christ then I was baptized into death, for one that has died has been set free from sin, and my life is now hid in Christ and NOW I am under Grace. I am under a new law, the law of the Spirit of Life. Now it is no longer I who does it, but sin that dewelleth in me. Now as in Adam all died, and yes I died, I was baptized into death. So now I am not a law breaker. I am under grace and as LRay said ( in my words ) Grace labours, it labours in your heart to teach you righteousness on to life. And thats the new Law, the Law of SPIRIT and LIFE in CHRIST JESUS, the law which those who are in Christ live under... Therefore there is now no condemnation ( of being a law breaker ) to them which are in Christ Jesus
Any how the law breaker will surely die, but those who are in Christ will surely be made alive...
