What is my purpose?
psalmsinger:
Roy, Jak and all,
I have been thinking on this verse "Confess therefore your sins one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The supplication of a righteous man availeth much in its working. " You all have proved that to humbly confess your sins to brothers and sisters in the truth you receive comfort, hope , direction, and encouragement in the paths of righteousness. I guess we must overcome the fear that was instilled in us in the babylon system that causes us to think that upon confession we will be labeled, beat with the guilt stick, and put on the back seat of the pew until the authorities can know for certain that the repentance is sincere. The sin is never forgotten there.............................that is unless you pay
$deeply for it:) Confess, pray, and be healed through Jesus Christ our Lord is part of His great plan to achieve His purpose.
Rest in the Lord,
Barbara

All I can say is that my purpose why God has created me is to live my life as it is, being He who led our every step. Whatever things we've said, done and thought of all throughout our lives, is what God has purposed us to be. Nothing more and nothing less. That's how I understand this thing called God-given "life".
Jeremiah 10:23 O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
I'm sorry for my grammar. English language is not my first language so please bear with me.

Hi! Samarnon
Your English is fine brother, just hop over here and give me a few lessons because it's more than English that I am drastically short of. Having said that, when are you coming?
In the meantime, a big welcome and hop aboard.
God bless you brother in our joint walk in Christ.
Love in Christ Jesus. ;)

Hi Roy UK,
Thanks for the welcome.
I've been a member since February of this year. I'm not into posting because it is hard for me to compose and express myself in a language not our own. As you will know, I'm from the Philippines so our national dialect is Tagalog but we still have our regional dialects, different from island to island as our country is comprised of 7,100 islands. Even our national language is hardly used and understood by people from the far flung areas or remote places for the reason that communications like TV or phone is unheard of.
I am happy and content by reading all your posts as I do it everyday. Many of my questions are being asked by some members and so I don't need to post. I just love reading everything on this site. It really has opened so many unheard truths that the church tried to hide from us. I thank God everyday for L.Ray Smith and for all the people here contributing daily to my spiritual needs.
BTW brother Roy of UK, i'm a sister not a brother :D my name is Joyce but most call me Joy ;D and I like it better.
God Bless,
Joy

Hi! Sister JOY
Forgive me for the mistaken gender, but it is a lovely name like that of a fellow member in Canada Joyce1.
If it be at all possible could you post a recording of "Amazing Grace" and "How Great Thou Art" sung in your native dialect. Why I ask this is because I have heard a recording of them sung by a group of women in Swahali, an African language, and though I didn't understand a single word, it was just a choir from heaven to me. Maybe your language will have the same effect. And I promise to share it with this forum, how's that?
We are indeed very blessed to be with "bible-truths" and to be taught by Ray, the But!...But! man I call him affectionately and I've never found out if he minds or not, hopefully he doesn't. Or I'll be cast out of the synagogue.
I read this little tribute to a great man of peace and reconciliation in our world today, his 90 birthday and I share it here. His name Nelson Mandela: "Your love knows no borders, your skin bares no colours and your heart retains no grudge. I am humbled by your memories."
God bless you sister in our joint walk in Christ. See! I've remembered!
Love in Christ Jesus.

I Hope nobody minds me jumping in here, just wanted to say Hi, my next door neighbor is from the Philippines. She is one of the most humble persons I have ever met. God has taught me much about inner beauty from a gentle loving spirit which she walks in. I am blesses to call her my Friend. ;D Her and her Husband own property in the Phillippines, and have brought back pictures that take your breath away. Tropical Paradise, similar to Florida where we live!
I agree with Roy, I wouldn't have known English was your second language. Don't hold back on account of that!
Barbara, that was Brilliant about how the church's teaching actually encourage us to Sin.
