What new truths have you learned recently ?

I always assumed they worked for most of their money. The gospels don't say they didn't work. Interesting question though. I hope someone can answer it because I can't LOL. I know lots of the TBN preachers like to say Jesus was rich, with fancy clothes and fine food. I don't buy that one!

The most recent "revelation" I experienced was when reading Ray's last installment,
 
                                         THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT IS FOR CHRIST'S DISCIPLES
                                              THE SERMON ON THE MOUNT IS FOR YOU, NOW!

There have been some periods where it seems my mind is my own worst enemy, I cannot stop thinking of things in my past, things I truly repent of (maybe not as thoroughly as I should) and they play in my mind over and over again, perhaps ignited by a temptation that was contemplated for too long or a series of events that begat a "deja vu" moment that got the ball rolling.

I was not really sure what to call this experience, was I in the desert, the wilderness, had my clean dwelling been taken over by seven demons worse than the first? Needless to say I was more than a little confused by this experience.

But after reading this portion of the newest article the confusion has been replaced by a much better understanding;

But what about the last one-"prison?" Does Jesus put us in prison? Yes, He certainly does. I can personally vouch for this one, and maybe you can too. Sometimes we are put into a position where we just can't get out. There IS NO WAY OUT. We will physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually struggle for a way out, but there is no way out. You are in spiritual prison! And Jesus ONLY has the keys.

I can certainly vouch for this one alright!  ;)

His Peace to you,

Joe

I had the same experience Joe. That one paragraph made a huge difference. I always knew God had us right where we are, but that explained it so well. It really makes it easier to endure when you have a good understanding of what's happening and why.

Hi Seminole, as I understand it there was a small group of wonderful women that took care of Jesus & the disciples needs.

God be with you  :).

Thank you M.G.
