To All,

  I would like to post this e-mail and then write my reflections on it.

  " Dear Br Smith
    How does one tell, if there a Vessel of dishoner,
    I need to know this, been feeling a lettle jepped about my life.and all my famileys.
    I stand in oa of HIS grace, now I am wondering about all my life.I know HE has
    been there,even befor I knew of HIM.
                                             Please reply
                                              I realy need the answer.
    Mary
     
    Dear Mary:
    If you think, say, and do "honorable" things, then you are a vessel of honour: if you
    think, say and do "dishonorable" things, then you are a vessel of dishonor.
     

    The Bible says that Jesus "Knows those who are HIS."  By that very statement, the
    indication is that although Jesus knows, WE DON'T. So I am not really in a position to
    judge you on this matter.  But if you love God and love your fellow man, and you
    are overcoming and conquering your sins, then I would guess that you are on the way
    toward being one of God's chosen few.
    God be with you,
    Ray"
  This is awesome.  I had been wondering if there was some sort of litmus test to see if you were one vessel or the other.  It is heartening to know that I am on my way to being one of God's chosen few.  It is another good thing that Jesus knows His own.  We are not alone.  It is awesome in knowing that we do not have to go and strive to find and know Him in a sense, that he already knows and has found us.  What a blessedness.  Phillipains 4:6 might relate to this e-mail.

  What are your thoughts on this?

  Sincerely,


  Anne C. McGuire

ype of christian are you if you are christian?
 
Dear Lisa:
I am of the "type" that are among the "few chosen," as opposed to the "many called."
Those who obey and follow in the footsteps of their Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.
God be with you,
Ray


I truly believe that I have to learn to appreciate who I know, knows me. Not what I know but who I know, knows me!  This e-mail responce challenges me to appreciate WHO it is who knows me and WHO it was who died for me.

Peace to you

Arcturus,

  I had read this e-mail and was blessed by it as well. 

  Sincerely,

Deborah-Leigh:
You know everything...EVERYTHING I read from Ray stretches me, challenges me, calls me up higher and reaches down towards me.  :)

I thank Jesus for sending us a teacher in times where there are too many Chiefs and not enough Indians! In the world everyone is a Chief. Outside the world there are precious few leaders sent to only a few called out ones. I want to stay out and am so glad I have been dragged out too!……

Peace to you Anne

hebrewroots98:
I thought that I had read something by Ray lately about 'those who have a FORM of Godliness but the truth is not in them...' are the ones who are called the 'vessles of dishonor'.  Plus,  since they are not wanting the whole truth, thus we are to stay away from such!   Was he not speaking of 'christians'?  (I don't mean to pick on them.)  Please remind me of where I saw this posted by Ray, if you remember, and correct me if I misquoted here.  Thanks.
