moises,
according to ephesians 2:10, "for we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." (king james version). and in another translation from the amplified bible it reads "for we are God's [own] handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, [born anew] that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us [taking paths which He prepared ahead of time] that we should walk in them [living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live]. so, to answer the question at the end of your post, "are we God's project or masterpiece?" eph. 2:10 is saying we are His workmanship (His handiwork) and that would be a resounding "masterpiece". of course we are continually being made into the image of Him via Christ in us through Christ's spirit, BUT we are God's very own masterpiece. how beautiful is that statement?!!!!!! if you read all of chp. 2 in ephesians you will be uplifted. i know that in new york city you see quite a bit of evilness every day and i can imagine it can be difficult to "stay the course". but remember moises, you are in nyc by God's own design and He is showing you things He wants you to see. we love you as our baby brother and i pray God will lift you up and remind you that He loves you and has loved you since before you were ever born.

stay strong and pray without ceasing.
love in Him,
claudia

moises,

If you see no evil in youself, that may be because it is well hidden inside. The fact you can see the evil
and do not like it is a Testament to Jesus Christ working in you to show you the hiding places. This
Entire World is Today full of many evil things but as you now know;

Romans 8:28: And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who
are the called according to his purpose.

George.

Marlene,

We are all in this race to the end; if we hold fast to the Word Jesus Christ. This may seem hard to us but
really it is easy for Him for He Has All Power In The Earth And In Heaven To Do This Very Thing. His Grace
Through His Faith is our Rock and Salvation, hold fast Sister He is Carrying Us Through.

Love and Glory and Honor and Might To Our Saviour and Lord Jesus Christ.

George.

George, You know sometimes when I would sin and I would see it, it seemed so painful to me. I did not realize at the time when I did not know the whole truth that God was using my guilt of my sin as a way to make me dependent on him. I felt it was a curse and I was lost. I thought maybe I had willfully sin and he quit covering my sins. But, when I found out truth he gave me a large dose. Not, only was I trying to do it without him, but I thought he was going to send me to Hell. Then I found Rays sight and I realized he was preparing me for truth. I had fail in to a sin that I was having trouble forgiving someone who hurt me it was the same sin he fail into. Before, I knew the truth. He gave me victory over it before he showed me the truth. But, I still could not feel forgiven.

After, reading Rays website. I now believe he chose to reveal himself to me.
He showed me something that shocked me. I did not even know him to begin with. He is Love. There is no Hell.  He showed me I was trying to do it myself. Now, I know he gave me the victory over that sin. I had to feel not forgiven in order for him to lead me to truth. All, I can say now is I had sins I didnt even know that were worse then the one I did. My thoughts of his Character being the worse. My letting man tell me what scriptures mean. With all of this he helped me to Love like him. He helped me to forgive. He showed me I am dependebt on him. Lord, all I can say he took this babe in christ and gave me more victory in
my life time. He is teaching me patience and that he is patient. I just want to cry every time I think what knowing the truth has done for me in such a short time.
I have loved him for years, but I didn't know it was not real. He took the blinders off of me. All, I can say the fall was painful, now I am glad it happened.
I will pray always for his will and not mine. I know who does it. I love everyone on here with all my heart. I had tried for a long time to forgive people who hurt me. I guess I had to hurt him to see what I was doing. I don't want to ever turn from the truth. I don't believe he took me through this for nothing, but I am in the race and with him doing it it has to be successful. No matter what , even if I am not chosen the race is still worth it. Cause the Prize is all Christ.

In His Love,
Marlene
