thank you so much for your personal witness of the journey our God has been and is still leading you on. it seemed like a mirror to me where i could see myself and also see the reflection of the Holy Spirit Comforter that lives in you and me and our brothers and sisters on this forum. i am always inspired by your postings and was very grateful to be able to meet you in person in nashville. the bible truths website, ray's teachings, and this forum, along with my personal studies of the scriptures are the food that i take in daily to feed my spirit which gives me the spiritual, physical, emotional, and mental strength needed to run this race on the path that He has chosen for me, and allows me to be able to endure the trials and sufferings that are along the way. again, thank you joe for your personal outpouring. you are a true brother to me and all the others here.

Hi Claudia,
It was my pleasure to have met you personally as well, I really love the fellowship we experience at the Conferences.
Like you my need for spiritual food needs to be satisfied daily, this is something I would have found unimaginable even a few years ago.
Thank you for you kind words and for all of your comments!
His Peace to you Sister,
Joe

We all have the notion that whatever is wrong with us we can find the answer to it in the physical, tangible, and in our own power! We have all been victims of our own egos and it is very frustrating when you look in the mirror and find that person looking back is pitiful and powerless! When we realize that this is the way God deals with us, we are relieved to hand our lives over to him! I'm glad that as I used to hear my dad say, "I will bring you down a notch or two" God uses these things to humble us and teach us, may we be open to learn!!
Thank you for that :D

Thank you Kathy,
Yes, very well stated!
God certainly has the ability to bring us down a notch or two, sometimes a whole lot more. ;)
There is a certain comfort in realizing how powerless we are in and of ourselves and when things are bleak, frustrating or downright painful we can rest assured our Father is humbling, teaching and correcting us. The best students are the ones who know they are lacking knowledge and wisdom and desire to be instructed.
That is where our Lord and God is taking us, to that place where we sit humbly at His feet feasting on His Word, then not only hearing it but doing what He wills.
Peace,
Joe

Thank you for your story, I needed it this morning, Satan had put a seed of doubt in my head that maybe this is wrong and I'm just gullible and falling for it hard, but as i read your post and all the replies it's just too genuine to not come from God. I find I can't read enough of my Bible now and the void in my life has been more full than ever before.

Hi lferretj,
We are all here to study, share, learn and encourage one another, we are not perfect and we don't always accomplish the good our spirit (or should I say His Spirit within us) desires, but we when we stumble we get back up, dust ourselves off and continue on this incredible journey He has us on.
Peace,
Joe

Thanks Joe for sharing. That last statement really speaks to me, as does this whole thread. Continuing on in this incredible journey....
Love in Christ,
Vangie
