These things they said to me were of no value to me!
Jackie Lee:
I constantly ask God to give me more truths according to his will, There is so many questions, but precious few answers but when I get that one answer through my thick head, I am thrilled.
I have finally come to the conclusion through God that he has given me all I need for today.
I realise I have no freewill yet I was allowed to try it my way.. or so I thought, with my choices.
You want to talk about a mess but I am being refined and learning slowly according to the will of God.
I can't rush God he does in his time.
Jackie Lee:
As an afterthought, God worked with me with sin in a simple way.
When I hated the sin more than I enjoyed it God intervened with that one particular sin.
I have no desire for that sin.
There are still sins in my life but he is with me conquering one sin at a time.
If I could just hold my tongue when frustrated I would be grateful, this will be overcome too hopefully in this life before I die.

You said (I can't rush God he does in his time.) That’s what God is showing me. We have nothing to do with any of it. Its God working in us and through us.
I could desire all knowledge pertaining to the things of God but it matters not. It’s when God chooses not when I choose. This is the very thing God has shown me!
Jackie Lee:
Richard your posts are inspiring, You are a faster learner than I am.
Once in a while I still battle the freewill issue.
When you write your posts and thoughts I say yes I know what he means, because I am experiencing some of the same things like the battle in my mind.
I really enjoyed your thread we only have to die, because I die a little daily and I am rejoicing.

Hi Richard, My Brother there is a way out; we are on the right path to that way. For There is None Other Name Under Heaven Whereby we Must Be Saved Than the Name Christ Jesus.
With A Holy Kiss, George.

I believe the world in general is also benefiting from this knowledge of good and evil also but the fullness of their benefit will not take place till they emerge from the lake of fire.
I understand that the only possible action or chose I can take or make is that which is cause by God or God causes within me what he God pleases for the outcome of his will, working all things together for good.
Sin hurts my relationship with God and what I would like to do is deal with this subject so as to understand or connect the dots.
Do I or we or believers have but only one chose or has God given us two chose‘s ? I have heard believers in church when I use to go to church which I stop going say when I ask how one deal with sin they would reply, don’t sin or you must fight it.
These things they said to me were of no value to me as even I knew that much. I guess what I was really asking is how to perform in not sinning.
If I have a desire to do a certain thing and inwardly I say, well this is not good to do or God would not approve of this, has God given me or every believer two chose’s.
I always choose not to sin or prefer not to sin but as I make this chose not to sin I find the desire within me is multiplied with intensity or like a raging battle it always conquers me.
Is there a way out of my dilemma maybe a particular prayer I don’t know about or perhaps a formula I never heard of, there has to be something maybe special powers from God I’m unaware of that he gives to those who believe if they know the right words to say.
If not, then what does one do to overcome the intensity of the desire? Is there intensity for everyone or just me? How does one not become subdue? Or must I always be sin’s prey?
There just has to be at least one believer here with and answer to my dilemma! It’s better to be dead than to sin against God. Surly there is a way out of sins domain!
A lowly servant in his love. Richard
