May I share some of my “church” experiences with you?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Kat:

Hi Dessa,

Thanks for sharing that testimony of all your church going experiences.  I find it interesting how we all have the church experience, so we can have a better appreciation for the Truth.  I never felt the joy of studying the scripture while in the church, now everyday I look so forward to seeing what God will reveal to me in His Word.
I hope you will continue to post your comments, as I'm sure you have learned a lot from all you have experienced in your life.
As Alex said, God choses people from all walks of life, we embrace those that God bring to Himself and gives them sight, as He sees fit.

John 6:44  No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.

mercy, peace and love
Kat

Wow, that is quite the journey!  Thank you for sharing it with us, I'm sure there is much we can learn from you so I hope to see you posting more... ;)

Peace and love,

Thank you for sharing your journey so far.  My it is amazing how you got in and out of so many churches.  I am sorry you lost your husband. I know you have much wisdom to teach and share w/ us.  I am so glad God has brought you to us.

Thanks again for sharing your story Dessa,

And what a story it is!  A tale of contrasts... your unchurched youth with a "far off God" ...  and your adulthood into a cornucopia of churches and growing into feeling closer and being drawn by Him all the while... with highlights of your defining moment at that very special alter call... and being given the desire to serve Him directly and foremost.  It is also a tale and testimony of your fortitude... you sure did keep marching forward ;) right on to God's truths, out of Babylon, and reaping the benefits of Ray's site fairly recently, as you say, in the last five years.  KEWL!

It's great you were given an inkling of some of His truths along the way, especially DA BIG ONE: I never quite believed in a burning hell but the scripture backing my belief is so welcome! Happy!

I really related to a few of your thoughts and circumstances while in a church that didn't seem to add up to what the spirit was carving within.  What a process we go through! 

And so nice to hear you say Our Heavenly Father has blessed me over and over again.  Amen dear sister!  Amen!

I am sorry for the loss of your husband.  As you know I'm a widow too.  Whatever became of your Intermediate Care Facility? 

I'm not quite sure how to receive your last paragraph and would like clarification from you when you get time...

How are we to attract new believers with my kind of background? I'm not sure what you are asking... ummm... something like how are we to witness for Christ, spread His word and truths... something like this, or something different altogether....?  Just not sure how your (previous) background fits into the question, sorry if I'm making this more complicated than it appears.  Lemmie know if you wish.  Are you asking how to now continue serving God as you feel very definitely led?

AND

I pray whomever God chooses for mapping out this course he/she will accept it with joy. I take this as you wish joyful blessings upon another who might also be given to receive the same sort of tortuous road of churchianity interwoven with true spirituality.  Think I get it!

Dessa, my days in this ‘tent’ will soon cease as well.  Thanks for the reminder!  :D

Wow, what a lifetime indeed, Linda, AND IT AIN'T OVER YET~ 
Thanks a lot for your special blessings again. :) :-* :)

With His joy,
Janice

If you have time, please read my post on my church years at:   http://forums.bible-truths.com/index.php/topic,3724.0.html  It's just a small bit about a slice or two of my life.  :)

Shalom Dessa

I can say that with the benefit of hindsight, that the greatest shocks regarding how so called brethren are meant to behave, all came from my association with Babylon and Babylons loyal members. Not only that, I firmly believe that one decade of chronic depression was the direct result of believing the heresy and seeing no escape from the deceptions and errors that appeared to be truths and condemnation.

It is so wonderful to be out of that darkness and deceit.

Through Bible Truths I am learing that I can not make the blind see or the deaf hear. I am being drawn to the peace of Christ and so much so that I can sit down with blind and deaf people and be comfortable telling them we shall have to agree to disagree.

It is truly wonderful that you are able to come here via the internet! Our Lord has indeed blessed you with the courage to learn! I am not at all internet literate and am most grateful that my Lord provides and has provided this haven of stimulation and challenge during the time I have been here.

Peace to you

Arcturus :)
