When our backs are against the wall…Then What.

Richard D:


I think of our Biblical brothers Stephen who when he was being stone to death cried out to God not to hold this to their account.

And then by contrasts look at me and how I handle situations in my life. I believe in God and I have learned some truths from Ray’s papers although it will take much time to absorb everything Ray teaches no doubt.

But my point is this, how do I respond to opposition in my life? I must be honest and tell the truth. Sometimes it sickens me to my stomach how I handle some situation I find myself in.

I might be doing something and wish to be left alone but then someone might ask me a question and I answer it but then notice they want to keep talking but I don’t, next thing I know I get angry inwardly and try to conceal this anger.

Or other times to some people what ever we do is just not enough but I feel they do hardly anything but they have words of  mordacity for my ears. I do not always hold my tongue and do lash out with words I wish I did not speak. So much for being a Christian I guess.

It could be any situation I don’t like or enjoy or wish to elude but can’t because it’s just there in in my face. Sometimes I think I’m the devil with my response. Sure I have my good days you know, where I rise above it all.

I wonder if I were Stephen if I would ask God to not charge this to there account or would I pick up the stones and chuck them back, maybe even use a slingshot to get it over there faster.

This road is a most difficult path to walk down. Thank God there is no eternal hell. Amen.  :o

                                   In His Love. Richard the weak one.

Martinez:

Hey Richard, welcome to the club or which I'm am the president.

We must go through all this because if We don't have anything to overcome then We won't be ruling with Christ.

Joh 16:33  These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

Mat 16:24  Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Ditto...I need the Lord in the worst way when it comes to this.

Richard D:
Hi  Martinez.

Thanks I know you’re right about this but how long before we overcome? I know it takes a lifetime but how does one measure themselves along the way?

Sometimes I look at myself and say Richard, God is going to chuck you into the lake of fire big time! It’s like I never know where I stand with God from day to day.

Yes I know God loves me but he loves everyone, I know Christ paid for my sins but he paid for everyone’s sins.

What can be said of me can be said of everyone with God.


                                            In His Love. Richard.





Hi  Marques.


I understand I need God especially when it comes to this but where is God when these sort of things happen? Sometimes I feel God has abandoned me in my situation and left me to deal with what He knows I can not be successful at.

 I always apologize and never let the sun go down on my sins. I been reading Ray’s papers for about eight weeks now and I think I would see some kind of change. Well there have been changes but only with the truth. What I mean is I discovered there is no hell and we don’t have free will.

I do see changes in my beliefs about God and see how good God really is but what about the other changes that are important also. I can’t say I see a whole lot going on in these areas.

                                                    In His Love. Richard.

Dave in Tenn:
I don't have years of experience to share, just a few months.  But I think what Ray has said is true...we'll just wake up one morning a realize that something that once was such a huge issue is simply not there any more.  That's how we'll know we're 'making progress'.  I've gotten a taste of that.  Tastes good.

Then there will be the next thing.
