YellowStone:
Arcturus, that Christ was with you then and with you still is very obvious to me. :)

Yes you jolted him, shocked him; yet you never degraded him. There is a lesson in your words for us all. Once again thank you for sharing your Christ sharing given experience.

Love In Christ the Lamb,
Darren

Deborah-Leigh:
Peace to you Darren.

Your words are very precious.

Arcturus :)

Here is a scripture i was looking at this week about how Noah judged the world.Heb 11:7                                                                                                    Being divinely warned by God about the things not yet having been seen, moved with fear, by faith Noah prepared an ark for the salvation of his house; through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness according to faith. 

It raised questions in my mind of dispensations.  I believe that there are the chosen now and will be and has been.
When I came to Rays' teaching it was good to read what I had thought was true.  But my understanding did not come from studding the word of God for hours.  I do read the Bible but very little studding.  It came by the Holy Spirit, quickening it to me.  I was very happy to see all the scripture verses and the in depth students of Gods Word.  Nothing has eased the the wilderness that my life has taken in the last 22 years.  I believe I was a stronger christian when I was Just 5 years in to my new life in Christ than now. My heart sang for Joy as i held my babies in my arms. Now I am in a prison of almost solitary confinement as my husband hates to hear the word of God and almost all my  brothers and sister in Christ has moved away or died.  Thanks for listening I need to get that off my chest.  COME LORD JESUS!  I have started to study the word with esword and other helps.  Every thing in my life has changed and my desires and priorities most of all.  Things have seem to melt away that wasn't as important when Jon was in a coma and Josh became mentally ill.  I do not regard myself as chosen just because I have suffered.  Many people have suffer and are not chosen.  To me that is all in the Lords doing.  Just because one knows, studies profusely or suffers greatly, about such things doesn't necessitates chosen.  A little girl in Iraq could be chosen who barely understands all this.  these things are in Christ's hands and i have the daily task of my world to do.  The most important issue at hand for me is obedience.  Peggy

Hi Peggy,

This life can certainly be difficult.  But I do believe God is preparing us through our experiences for something.  And then coming to the truth and finding it to be a very lonely walk, I think it makes us turn to Him all the more.

Your final statement; The most important issue at hand for me is obedience.
I put up a transcript of a Bible study on 'Worship in Spirit and Truth'  That is the very point that Ray made in that study.  His final statement was;  But obedience, that is where it is at.  Sometimes we come short, I know.  But there is no doubt in my mind, that's what it’s all about, and I know what it’s all about.

mercy, peace, and love

Rene:
Kat & Peggy,

Hebrews 5:8 came to mind in reference to your comments.  Speaking of Jesus, it states: "Although He was a son, He learned obedience through what He suffered." There is a direct correlation between suffering and obedience. 

Regardless, it all starts with the heart.  Unless the Lord blesses us with a renewed spiritual heart, we cannot do anything righteous anyway :).
