Amen Kat and Arc, I love that analogy!
  (Ha, I can definately relate to the desert situation... I had lived in a foxwhole and in tents in the outdoors of Arabia and Iraq for almost a year; ;)) and YES, it is as you say...we were all as ONE Body while living out there in that  DESERT; an individual would die out there in the desert if he tried to make it on his own, alone!!!!  Just as  and we are learning the Truths of GOD together as an individual BODY of Christ and we would shrivel up and die (spiritually) if we did not have the unity of the spirit  with each other in these new Truths that we are learning and that are essentiall to share with like minded believers..   Also, we cannot be as unified if we are missing some of our vital members. 


For some reason I keep getting the mental picture/memory of when my Army Medical Unit was in the desert of Iraq and we were packing up all of our extra medical supplies after Desert Storm had ended.  However, (and thank God) that due to the lack of the sick and casualties during the war, we had a great amount of medical supplies left over, so our commander made the call to BURY THE  EXCESS SUPPLIES IN THE DESERT (so, a backhoe dug a huge whole into that desert floor and there were literally thousands of dollars worth of medical supplies that were thrown away, dumped, BURNED and BURIED in that sandy grave.   This happened so that our load was liightened for our JOURNEY TO COME BACK HOME.  There was not enough room for all of it; at first it would look like alot of waste, but... in the end, it saved us.

In a spiritual comparisson; in our SPIRITUAL LIFE, we must get rid of (burn) the excess baggage of things that  at one time had seemed so important and even life saving in our life (namely the CHURCH and Chrisitanity) and things that were wound covering supplies (the Milk of the word) and get rid of the  tools (preachers) that helped to save our lives when we were babes.  Those things are no longer needed b/c we left (buried) those things and that baggage to go onto a better life (with The HOLY SPIRIT AS OUR NEW TEACHER) and the Spirit lightens our load by showing us the new journey (Bible Truths) and the new road (Truth) that leads to our new Home (where ALL are saved; not just a few) with the Father!!!

I hope that made sense! ;)
Blessings,
Susan

Hi Susan

Bulls eye! You wrote quote : get rid of (burn) the excess baggage of things that  at one time had seemed so important and even life saving in our life (namely the CHURCH and Chrisitanity) and things that were wound covering supplies (the Milk of the word) and get rid of the  tools (preachers) that helped to save our lives when we were babes.  Those things are no longer needed b/c we left (buried) those things and that baggage to go onto a better life (with The HOLY SPIRIT AS OUR NEW TEACHER) and the Spirit lightens our load by showing us the new journey (Bible Truths) and the new road (Truth) [/i]

We are called to come out of Babylon. We can not convince anyone still in Babylon to come out with us. They march to a different drummer! To show them we are leaving would be to them the same as ditching the medical supplies firing the Doctors and leaving the soothsayers and comfort zones of Babylon for the desert! Pretty dumb move to a Babylonian.  :D ;D

Thank you for sharing

Peace be to you

Amen to that sister!  I have been through more turmoil lately, and all of it is from "believers"...christians!  They cannot fathom whyon earth I would be so blasphemous as to never step foot inside of another church bldg for as long as I live.   :-\,   They think that I have lost my marbles and have become blasphemous for this desicion, and so all of them have left me (neighbors, family, homeschool families, and christians.  I tell that that we are serving 2 diff Gods; and that my God is not a God of sending people to a hell fire, but rather HE is a God of patience and love where HE will wait till all of Hispeople in the earth learn righteousness; they can't figure me out; I scare them, lol.  Oh, well, something must be working since I am feeling the heat of the fires of Gahenna ;) :D ;D :o 8)...But, I am not the only one...my dh and child are going through it too :D
Shalom,
Susan

I have read somewhere where Ray says his most appauling hate mail comes to him from professed Christians!

They hated Jesus Christ first so they will hate us.

Peace to you too sister.

I read that too Arc.  How true and yet how sad it is to know that they are so decieved and they have no clue about it!  Come to think of it, I know for a fact the my dh has had more troubles in life b/c of 'christians' that b/c of any other people.  It has all the sudden come to me now and he is saying "see, i told you so"!  I was blinded for years as to just how corrupt they really are!  IMO, these will have the hardest time at the white throne of judgement b/dc they are unteachable at this point; they think that they have arrived.  The Physical road leads to deception, the spiritual road leads to life; although b/c they see with their eyes instead of w/ their spirits, then they SEE me getting all kinds of trials and they think that I must have some hidden sins in my life that I have not repented of and thus I must deserve this 'punishment of trials that I am going through, b/c they aren 't going through these things, so they must be in the will of God'!  But, oh how thankful that I am a child of God whom is voluntarily going through the Gahenna fires and being cleansed in righteousness at this time,,,,,

PS, Arcturus, I am so sorry to hear about your Grandmother.  I am sure she was very special to you; I know that mine was to me before she passed away.  Sounds like she got to live to a very ripe age!  ( Does that run in your family?   :D)  Isn't it great and comforting to know that we will meet up with our loved ones again; and when we are with them next time, they will be perfected in their very own and unique personalit and totally mature in the spiritual person that they always were... (that we saw glimpes of while they were with us.)

I knew an elderly neighbor of mine whom passed away at age 96 and she had stated to me one time that( b/c she was a multi millionaire) that "NO ONE HAD EVER HELPED HER TO GET IT; I GOT IT ALL BY MYSELF"...Of course I couldn't let her go through life being so decieved, so I did indeed inform her that it truly was GOD that helped her along the way; she refused to believe it till the day she died :'(.... go figure!!!!!!
