A word of encouragement

Nelson Boils:

I just went through a near death experience against the opposition, bandits.Traumatic experience.I was outnumbered 5 to 1 and they had home ground advantage.The Referee came to my rescue and I'd like to think I came away with the points.

A word of encouragement:

Do not allow any evil that WILL come your way destroy your ambition and desire to serve.Do not allow foreigners to make you think that the evil that is brought upon you is due to Jesus being angry with you.Do not allow these aliens to destroy your self esteem and confidence IN the Lord.

TRIBULATION: "...we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God" (Acts 14:22). Strong's #2347, thlipsis, pressure (literally or figuratively): - afflicted, affliction, anguish, burdened, persecution, tribulation, trouble." Notice the first word of definition: "pressure." Everyone knows that pressure brings about changes. The pressure at the bottom of the sea will flatten a submarine like a pancake. But spiritual pressure (which often involves physical pressure) brings about drastic changes in our character, and produces the spiritual fruit of love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, self-control (Gal. 5:12-13).

Dennis Vogel:
Not on subject but why do you keep changing your user name? It's hard to keep up.

Nelson Boils:
The name changes with my circumstances.Okay,no more name changing,I think Job will accompany me for the rest of my life,like all those in the Lord.

About this time last year I was minutes away from being dead. The hospital overdosed me on morphine. My blood pressure was down to 48 over 23 and I was on my way out until they gave me the antidote and regained consciousness.

In that one minute when I could not open my eyes but I could hear people talking to me while someone was pumping my chest and my nurse was shaking me asking me to wake up was as peaceful as I've ever been in my life. No pain, almost no thoughts. Just peace.

Since then I have no problem with being dead. But the dying process could scare me. I don't think I could endure what Ray went through the last year of his life. Especially the last week.

Nelson Boils:
The dying process is what scares me as well--The pain!I probably wouldn't be able to handle it.

The other victim that was with me got a beating as it seems he was not "turning the other cheek."The victim even got stabbed.Then the was another victim,a lady,she was so bitter after the whole ordeal,she kept on saying,"tonight I am gona go to a witch doctor and send a curse upon them bandits...I hope on their way they crash their car".Surprisingly,I had no hate or bitterness towards them bandits,I was so calm even woke up the next day went to work as if nothing had happened.When I told my colleagues the story,they asked 'what on earth was I doing at work?'

When I get home,the christian woman I stay with says "you must pray,you must bind these evil forces in the name of Jesus,"that is when I started getting irritated--very irritated!!

I actually felt sorry for them bandits.
