The Blind can't see...

(1/3) > >>

mharrell08:
I know the blind can't see but it is still absolutely amazing to witness firsthand.

I have never seen so many people happy as I have within the last 8-12 hours. But these same people when told that God Almighty, creator of the universe, who loves humanity so much he died for them; when told the true gospel, these same people absolutely spit on it! Utterly amazing!

Another fascinating observation: the same way all different people have been crying in the streets, whooping and hollering...is exactly how I and many of you here on the forum felt when God opened your eyes to the truth. Like Ray once said, "They have no idea what it is like to be blessed". [What is the Gospel of the Kingdom transcript].

Now anyone of us could have been still in the world, whooping it up and all that...I know...but it is STILL utterly amazing to witness so many people place their faith and trust in anyone or anything but God. I'm not trying to poo-poo the rest of humanity and all that just making an observation. As the children of Israel were strangers on the earth which was a type, I feel as a stranger as well...

Acts 13:17

The God of this people of Israel chose our fathers, and exalted the people when they dwelt as strangers in the land of Egypt, and with an high arm brought he them out of it.

Hebrews 11:13

These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.

P.S.  I don't mean to be a damper or have an excess negative tone but it has really hits home that we are not of the world...because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world [John 17:14]

Hi Marques,

I feel you.

I have had the opportunity many times today to say that NO earthly man is our Saviour.  I, naturally, feel caught up in the excitement of today, however, I continue to keep my "eye on the prize" and rejoice because I am being blessed with spiritual understanding and knowledge of God's word.  Now, that's something to get EXCITED about!! :D

Hi Marques.

I’m seeing the same excitement out there as well but I’m thinking to myself that this is of God’s doing. Sometimes I feel that we who have the truth lock God up in a box, God is working out His purpose with everyone, believers as well as non believers.

No man becomes a king or president unless God says so and so we should be excited because of what we see our God doing. The difference for the believers is that we know who truly rules and we put our faith in Christ.

God put Obama in office by His decree, we can be confident that God is working out His purpose and what a beautiful thing to watch. When God is ready for all their shouts he will get them. For every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess Christ is Lord.  :)



                                         In God’s Love. Richard.

Amen to that,

I used to be one of the happy ones when my Elephants won and sad when they lost. Now it is
just another step in the direction God has me going. Knowing just the little bit that has been
understood by me now, it seems so hollow to get caught up in the world.

Recently i have been having quite a bit of chastening done to me, so i know that God is Working
His Will in my daily life. One thing i can say, chastening hurts and severe chastening really hurts
even more but; now i know that God Cares that is why He chastens.

In Obedience and Love,

george.

I understand how you feel Marques,
Temptation is all around to be caught up in the excitement.
To be caught up in what it means.
To move with the crowd.
To smile back as if we agree.
To believe that real change is going to come.
All lies my friend!
We all here know real change is through the work of our lord and true and only savior!!
What an amazing thing it would be if people shouted in the streets because of the truth.
