Brothers and Sisters,

Thank you All for the great Scriptures, remarks and observations. Richard, you are going through the walk
now as are we. The highs and lows of this tortured path sometimes seem way too much to bear and i want
to quit many times. Especially when i know how to make it in the carnal world so well and my family is hurt
and do not understand. On my own i would never have been here but instead living it up as if this life is all
there is. God in His Mercy and Grace Has Shown me that He Has Already Made my way and He is Taking me
and you and All of humanity to the Place that He is Placing us. Of myself i expect nothing but evil and lust
and carnality.

In God Through Our Lord And Saviour Jesus Christ is my (our) only Hope to get to the Place He has Already
Placed us Before The Worlds Were Formed.

Take heart Brother, turn from the beast, Turn To God, He is in the direction you are currently not looking.

II Samuel 22:3:
The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge,
my saviour; you save me from violence.

Psalms 18:2:
The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler,
and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Proverbs 30:5:
Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him.

Daniel 3:28:
Then Nebuchadnezzar spoke, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who has sent
his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies,
that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.

 II Corinthians 1:9:
But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raises the dead:

I Timothy 4:10:
For therefore we both labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour of all men,
specially of those that believe.

I Timothy 6:17:
Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not high-minded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God,
who gives us richly all things to enjoy;

In Hope and Love,

george.

Hello my brothers and sisters, Kat, Ariel, Eggi, Samson and George.


I am very thankful for the input each and every one of you has given. Kat, the excerpt from Ray’s papers you have put down on this thread was absolutely beautiful with perfect timing also.

Sometimes when I read scripture it appears its saying to me, I have much to do with my salvation which came in the form of ( if )  I do this or if I do that. I know in my heart I cannot live up to the standards that God has place before me. I became overwhelmed knowing I do not possess the ability to adhere to the righteousness of God.

Ariel, Yes I was comforted by the lyrics you wrote down and no sister I assure you I did not laugh but realized how fortunate I am to have a sister like you. Thank you Ariel.

EggI, Thank you for sharing your experience with me you had a few months ago as it helped me with this heavy load of doubt I been going through. Thank you my brother and friend.

Samson, that scripture you have given me Matt. 19:25,26. Was very comforting to read as it really hit home. Thank you my brother and friend for writing down that scripture for me as it helped me to understand salvation depends not on me but on our God.

George, Thank you my brother and friend for writing down the scriptures you did because they were of comfort to me as well, Thank you very much George I want you to know I appreciate much.

I find my walk with God is filled with ups and downs accessing and reassessing, feeling inadequate and victorious with frowns and smiles and growing pains mixed with insecurities and panic as well as feeling the love of God shining through like the morning sun.

One thing I am sure of in this life, there is no ability found in me to live up to the high standards God has place before me. I discovered I am at His mercy fully and completely.
Life is only found in God and no other.

I humble thank you all for being there when my day turned dark as night. God bless you all.  :)


                                                    In His Love. Richard.

Richard,

No thanks needed; It Is All Of God. What you put on the forum is what we all or at least i also
go through daily. But for The Grace Of God, i would not survive a day on my own, i break every
day and many times feel so lonely it hurts physically. We are in the world, i definitely feel that
i am not of this world; just passing through and suffering and learning.

Just so you know, your posts are always lifting old scars and opening hidden doors that hide
the beast in me. This is a good thing for me so i never get too puffed up for long before i am
convicted again and must repent and turn away. I could say a lot more Brother but i think
you understand whereof i write.

Love Repentance and Faith,

george.

Richard D:
Hi George.

I hear you loud and clear and I do understand what you’re saying and I thank you for your honesty.

I find human nature funny in many ways but what strikes at me the most is the mask we all wear in life, we human being always need to be someone or something we are not. You know George, I found in the beginning with God I had this joy I no not how to describe but after awhile I discovered the self righteousness within me that I never really saw before.

I know God was and still is showing me the mask I wore all my life and it’s the stripping off of this mask that is so hurtful because it leaves us bare exposing the self righteousness within us.

That’s the mask we all wear George, the mask of pride, but deep down inside we know the truth the real truth because God keeps showing us who we really are and it’s a hurtful thing to our pride.

Pride loves to stand up and say I can save myself, I can do that or I can do this. The truth of the matter is pride is our worst enemy. The beast within cannot live without this pride, therein is the conflict we all struggle with everyday of our lives and what’s worst is I know as long as I live in this life the beast is not going away.

This is where my insecurities stem from knowing every time I see the beast within me I wonder what God sees in me?

But like the scripture says what is man that thou should me mindful of. It is what it is George and I realize it will be like this unto my body lies lifeless and the breath of God in me returns back to Him.

Who said it was going to be easy anyways? But sometimes I do get down and discourage but never destroyed.  :)

Thank you George for your response. In God’s Love. Richard.
