first verse that stuck with you besides the usual ones

<< < (2/4) > >>

Robin:
This was the first verse when God started calling me out of the church.

Psalm 46:10
Cease striving and know that I am God

AK4:
thanks everyone.  yeah after coming to more truths too Romans 7 & 8 are stick out real good too.  i think one of the best things that the Lord revealed to me through Rays teachings and is one of my favorite verses is what Ray put at the end of his paper in the installment 14 of the LOF series:

LET ME KNOW

Are you beginning to SEE IT? Is God giving you understanding? Do you see the grand and marvelous wisdom of it all? Drop me an email—let me know. I want to know how many out there in computerland are beginning to have ears to hear and eyes to see.

THANK GOD, that I (L. Ray Smith) had fallen away, left my first love, looked back, forsook the Lord, and watched my house upon the sand come crashing down! Only then was I able to stand upon the sand of the sea, and see the beast within, the man of sin, the son of perdition, and Satan the devil who DECEIVED ME!

But NOW, "I am crucified WITH Christ: nevertheless I live: yet not I, but Christ lives IN ME: and the life which I now life in the flesh I live by the faith OF the Son of God, who loved ME [and YOU], and gave Himself for ME [and YOU]" (Gal. 2:20).

In conclusion:

"I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard BEHIND me a great voice, as of a trumpet… And I turned to see the voice that spoke with ME. And being TURNED, I saw seven gold candlesticks; [the complete church of God in all generations, with MY sins outlined in each and every one of them] And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.

His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire; [PURGING all who look upon Him] And His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned [refined] in a furnace; and His voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in His right hand seven stars: and out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance was as the SUN SHINING IN HIS STRENGTH [no longer a physical body with HOLES in it].

And when I saw Him [in my SPIRIT] I fell at His feet as DEAD. And He laid His right hand upon ME [as He will upon YOU], saying unto ME [and unto YOU],

FEAR NOT" (Rev. 1:10-17).


i couldn't tell you how many times i've read just that part of his paper and how that last part just gives me goose bumps everytime i read it.  Those verses used there are one of my favorites too!

thanks again,  its SOOOOO NICE to be able to talk to others that are in like mind.
It was starting to get real lonely out here (on earth, but i live in cincinnati, oh) because i cant find anyonel else that believe the scriptures as we believe.

One last thing.... whats the best way to use e-sword to help me memorize scripture.  I mean i know some but not word for word and exactly which scripture it is i.e. 1 Tim 2:4 God will save all men.
I think God just showed me the way.  The same way i love Isa 46:10 i need to love every line of scripture the same way.  You guys helped me without doing anything except for responding to my post.  Praise Jesus and thank you all.

gmik:
Just read this post.  Loved all the scripture.

I am like EKnight,  Wow, I have read everything but not twice.  Thats why I love everyone putting excerpts from Ray's papers on threads.  Like a mini sermon.

A belated welcome AK4! :D

Hi everybody: The first scripture I ever remembered  is very short and every time I get into a jam or something bad happens (which is often) help me through. And this too shall Pass. No matter what the  problem is I know it will pass. Maby in the way I would like it to, but I know it will pass.

                                        Thanks

Hi!Brothers and Sisters

Do you really want to know the two very first Scriptures that truly impressed me and stuck firmly in my mind. As Ray would say; "I'm glad you asked!" Here they are anyway: "Trust in the Lord with all your heart And do not lean on your own understanding." (Pro.3:5). And a double helping of: "There is a way which seems right to a man, But its end is the way of death." (Pro.14:12 & 16:25).

God bless you brothers and sisters in our joint walk in Christ. 

Love in Christ Jesus.
