HOW IS GOD LEADING/DRAGGING YOU?

Hello everyone

I have been draged LITTERALLY AGAINST MY WILL out of Mystery Babylon.....

I have been shown   by the GRACE OF GOD that MYSTERY BABYLON CHURCH FELLOWSHIP was inadequite and was labeled so called fellowship to disguise that  it was superficial and insincere.... at the time it APPEARED to be deep and sincere AND i BOURGH INTO IT BECAUSE i WANTED TO STAY IN IT. Now, not only have I been led out of illusion of hanging onto crumbs of thinking I was in fellowship, I now know I was naked, poor and needing comfort among others who were also not only naked in the spirit and no knowing it but they were  hurting too. The only thing we all had in common was our need for comfort, appeasement and approval that came in large doses of self-deception.

We see what happened to the Hebrews after they left Egypt and I do not want to be ungrateful ...I am not al all....yet I am experiencing that being led from evil and illusion into truth hurts because now I can not find much truth anywhere OUTSIDE ANY MORE while in the past it appeared to be everywhere and everyone else's possession ie the Church's possession, the Pastors or the Anointed one's possession and yours too if THEY said so!  What has our Lord done for you to wean you off the poison diet  of Mystery Babylon?

Where do you get your spiritual food?...other than here of course... That is what I want to know.  Where's the banquet, the real one I mean? ...are you hanging on day by day BREATH BY BREATH in dependence on Christ for your immediate provisions...?and I am not talking about the needs of the body I am talking about our soul and spirit need for HIS breath of life!..fruit of HIS Spirit!

 I see that bondage to illusion offers the superficial comfort of make-believing that you are free or okay or doing just fine. That is kind of like drinking killer Morphine in small medicinal doses gradually on the increase....Jesus Christ on the other hand shows our dependence is on HIS freedom and in HIS faithfulness to God because in and of ourselves we have nothing! Has anyone here grown past this painful revelation? I am right in it! It is most uncomfortable....so ....How has God been leading/dragging you? and....may HE CONTINUE TO DO SO!

Arcturus,

 it is all done on God's time table and according to His will. If we desire to know more He certianly will give you the desires of your heart but according to His will not ours.

 I too would love to be at the place where some are here with their God given knowledge but God knows when I will be ready. It is a slow process for me but I am so blessed to even be where I am right now and that alone is wonderful and I thank God for it.

Philippians 4:11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.

Hi Arcturus,
For me I am getting my spiritual food right now from His Word. For example, every morning I wake up an hour early to read my bible. I need His Word in my life. It helps me all the day long, I need to recall verses in every evil situation that happens to me during the day, each day. Jesus is there to help me combat sin. His Word in me helps me to do what He would have me to do. I need to read my bible before I go to bed. I'll sometimes write down a verse that really stands out to me for that "reading" and just start writing about what the verse means to me.  I have a binder full, when I go back through and read some of the things I've written, I can't even believe it was me who wrote it, truly the Holy Spirit was at work. While these are physical things that I do, to me they help me grow spiritually, this is just what God has put in my heart to do. I've been doing it since I was called into the church (Jan'05), and continued even after I was called out (Jan'06).
Singing praises to Him and in His name is another thing I do for spiritual food, while it brings Him glory, it too brings me much joy.
And, this forum of course. It has been a real source of spiritual fellowship for me. God has taught me through this forum to not seek to please myself, or even others, before pleasing Him. When I have my focus on Him, all else 'good' falls into place.
When I look at all the "worldly" problems in my own life, I talk to God and know in my heart that He is in control. This helps me to be dependent on Him.
Knowing our Father is the hope in my life. Without Him, there would be nothing.
Love,
Marie

Marie and Bobby

It is so wonderful where God has you right now.  I am being shown some very painful truths about myself right now. For instance, trying to do anything beyond knowing Christ has done everything that is important of value and merit and that I, even trying to fuel myself with His Spirit for my good, is by HIS Grace alone...as Bobby you reflect on and make known through what you have written.

I know I can not even pray, or praise Him unless His Spirit has put in me the gratitude for Him. Unless He reveals just how much I should be grateful to HIM I am only giving Him lip service. I am stalled, made still, made void by His total goodness and who He is. By contrast I am finding out who I am and that Marie is what is hurting. It feels like I am under a God lockhold while He is performing a major surgery on my sence of self!.....

It is comforting to recieve the anesthetic of reading in Bobby's post....Gods time...Gods will......That really helps! :) It is a reminder...and encouragement!

Yes....I am gratefull....and can only share with you the joy of seeing the blessing of God on your lives because it reunites my heart to what I know of our Lord and Saviour and your testimony of His Grace in your lives and His word in your hearts and mind feeds my hope and encourages me in wonderous ways only made possible by the loving hand of our Shepherd King. I see his gentle hand and kind presence via your posts.....

Arcturas :)
