After coming out....

Samson,

Boy can I relate.  I can't tell you how many times "I can't win" comes out of my mouth. :(
Not looking for a reward, just expecting not to get slapped in the face, when we know to the best of our ability we did what was right.  Darren quoted the saying "No Good Deed Goes Unpunished" this is true is we look to a earthly reward, but through the fire it will stand.

So I try as I pray for God's Strength & Grace to turn to them also my other cheek.
Ray is so right that people hate the Word of God, when you present it to them....they are offended.
After coming out of Bablyn, God is dealing with me to put timidity behind me.
If I fear the slap from man [even the ones I regard as more knowledgeable than me]I do not yet love God above all.

Anthony...this is why most people lie.  There is a consequence for telling the truth... :'(

This boldness must be seasoned with Love.  My personality is more to be a peacemaker/people pleaser. This harbors an Idol of being liked by others. Many times in my past I have prostituted my integrity to please others, save friendships, and keep peace. 

Loving peace has it's place, but loving God's Truth first, is the most excellent way....

Struggling to "Come out of it....

After a few 9/11 email reminders to "Never Forget", I replied with "STOP SENDING ME THIS STUFF".
My dad died 2 weeks before 9/11, I don't need any reminders.

I dont know if anybody can relate but what I hate the most "since being awakened from the matrix",(Ok, Babylon!), is the fact that i have a much bigger battle ahead of me then I did before! its like the beast that I became aware of inside me, realizes that i finally see it for what it really is, and now it knows that I'm trying to turn away and its working overtime trying to trip me up and make me lose my way, lose my faith! And I hate it because I do get tripped up, tend to wander off the path for a bit! BUT, GOD Always sends me some kind of reassurance that I'll make it through, gives me a proverbial, "kick in the butt", to remind me what my purpose is!  For example, I was driving to work one day, going through a particular spiritual battle, feeling down in the dumps, and I see this sign in front of a church that said: FAILURE IS NOT FALLING DOWN, ITS FALLING DOWN AND NOT GETTING BACK UP!  I knew right then and there that GOD was dropping me a line to tell me its Ok if you fall you just have to get up dust yourself off and continue on! :D
