When our backs are against the wall…Then What.

Richard, did you get the way you are in eight weeks, eight years or over your current lifespan. We learn truth
by hearing and reading God's Word; learning to Trust God's Word next, then starting to let go of the old man
(beast) grudgingly at first. God is doing a Strange Work in making pots into Born Sons and Daughters; the
least we can do is give some time For Him to fix the total hash of things that we with our free will have made.
God's Will is that we be saved, His decision is to call us, we need to learn that He knows what needs to be
done to bring us exactly where and when He Will Have us be.
In Prayer and Humble Thanksgiving,
Geo.

Hi Dave in Tenn.
I have not come across where Ray said, one day we wake up and something has changed. Maybe that explains it.
Maybe we get so much of God’s truth in us that we cannot help but to change, you know, kind of like faith. Faith comes by hearing the word of God. So it’s God who gives us faith and it’s God who changes us in His time.
In His Love. Richard.

Hi George.
All I’m saying is sometimes I feel like I’m in turtle mode. Eight years in Christendom one would never change but eight weeks in real truth I would think I be throwing mountains around by now………LOL…………Just kidding
In His Love. Richard.

All I can tell you is that this has been my experience. It may have to do with the indisputable fact that I was SO low and filthy when I 'stumbled' onto BT and was reintroduced to the Word and to God that the cleansing He has graciously worked in me has been relatively easy from my perspective.
I'm not worried about HOW He does it or even so much about WHEN...just simply that He does. If I've got struggles before me, then so be it. For now the only hard struggle has been in eating and digesting the feast...that 'getting so much of God's truth in us'...and in getting out of the way.

All in good Humor Richard,
What you state i and probably all our Sisters and Brothers suffer daily. The pleasure comes when God sends someone to
us to prove to us that; He is Faithful and True, by Giving us the task of helping a new Outcalled One to understand why
they are acting so strangely now. Brother if (since) you are starting to trust God and are putting off the old man the
accuser of man will throw up any obstacle that he is allowed; to try to slow or corrupt your dying to self.
All i can say is it gets worse many times before it gets better, but it does get better.
Geo.
