(Col 1:29 KJVR) Whereunto I also labor, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily.
I know that I am a wretched person and have absolutely NOTHING good in me. There is only One Good => G
od
God is the only one who can change my character. I also know it is going to be a very painful process. I would rather do it all at once but I am
way too afraid to let go of all of things at the same time.
(Rev 13:4 KJVR) And they worshiped the dragon which gave power unto the beast: and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is like unto the beast? who is able to make war with him?Not me ....I give up.
(Rom 7:17 KJVR) Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
(Rom 7:18 KJVR) For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
(Rom 7:19 KJVR) For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I doIt is a taffy pull .....isn't it?
Boy did James hit the nail on the head when he wrote
(Jam 1:23 ASV) For if any one is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a mirror:
(Jam 1:24 ASV) for he beholdeth himself, and goeth away, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
I do not like what I see in the mirror
and at times I just want to die. I am soo...o tired of dealing with all of these stupid and worthless worldly issues.
What is ironic is that contemplating suicide is a not even an option anymore because
now I know that battle is really between the spiritual and
soulish nature, the
physical body is only a cover.
Now I can only pray daily that I live long enough to see these two latter things (soul & body)die. Now I try and focus on
(
Phi 2:13 KJVR) For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
(Phi 1:6 KJVR) Being confident of this very thing, that HE which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:
(1Th 5:21 KJVR) Prove all things; hold fast that which is good.It may seem that my problems are more than others but I know better because each one of us has to face SELF and God has to show each us how to overcome it.
The SELF that I have to face now is the result of
all my own past choices. Pride Greed Gluttony Lust Hate Lies Stealing Murder are all located in the SELF I call me.
My career choice and my living situtation are all the result of these charming habits. Lots of Dirty Secrets that we all hide and disguise. My facade is falling apart right now. I need to let it go. God is in control of my life.
I just realized that other than writing it down, there is absolutely NO one to discuss this matter other than GOD. The
title of this Topic is not a mispell... its a pun. God will perform the works on me..... More than just good .... He will work on me....... until I am the perfect image of Himself.

(Eph 3:20 KJVR) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,Beloved
