YellowStone:
Great post Kat,

How are we to perform all these impossible tasks? as Ray asked. (As if he needs to be told) :)

But for the rest of us we must trust God with all our hearts and never become pompous over the little we know.

For a very wise man wrote for our benefit:

Pro 3:5-6
* 5. Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
* 6  In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
This is how we will be able to perform these seemingly impossible tasks, because when God is within our hearts, they become mere bumps in our narrow road to salvation.

Mat 7:14
* Because strait [is] the gate, and narrow [is] the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Love,
Darren

After reading that, It gives the the word "Few Chosen" a whole new meaning.  That counts me out......if anyone needs to contact me in the next age, I will be in the Lake of Fire.

Love in Christ

don't be so sure, the power of the cross is beyond your control.   :)

I enjoy the immediacy at which is was recognised through Paula and acknowledged by through you Kat and affirmed by you Iris that we can do nothing with out HIM. 

This is in direct contrast to Mystery Babylon that would have us become human "doings" not human "beings".  I believe this

IF the Lord is my Shepherd
I shall not lack
IF the Lord is my Shepherd
HE makes me lie down in pastures;
IF the Lord is my Shepherd
He leads me beside the still and restful waters
IF the Lord is my Shepherd
He refreshes and restores my life
IF the Lord is my Shepherd
He leads me in the paths of righteousness and right standing with HIM
....not for MY earning it but for HIS Name's sake
IF the Lord is my Shepherd
though I walk through the valley of the sahdow of death I will fear no evil for HE is with me
IF the Lord is my Shepherd
HIS ROD  and HIS STAFF comfort me
IF the Lord is my Shepherd
He prepares a table before me in the presence of my enemies
IF the Lord is my Shepherd
He anoints my head with oil and my cup runs over
IF the Lord is my Shepherd
surely only goodness, mercy and unfailing love shall follow me all the days of my life and through the length of my days the house of the Lord shall be my dwelling place. (Adapted from Psalm 23)

And WHO decides IF THE LORD is my SHEPHERD? 

How wonderful it is that in this spiritual house we know very well WHO is dragging who! :D

.......there are 1,050 commands in the NT and without repetitions they classify under some 800 headings! :o

Some think that living by the Law of Moses was tough!  :D   We can only be according to HIS Will and plan and purpose for any of us! What a relief it is to be out of Mystery Babylon learning to become dependent on Grace through HIS faith a gift ! I feel much peace in having been released from the impression that I have to choose Christ and I have make myself be like HIM. ONLY HE can make us into HIS image and likeness!

Thanks for the thread Kat
