    Thanks for writing Mark. As I have clearly stated, if someone is hungry to find out the how of true heart obedience, I will bend over backwards to see if I can help them. But as to debating what God has asked me to share, I choose to pass. I hope you understand. blessings, Gids

    Amadeus, I always love hearing from you. I am actually quite surprised there has not been a lot of dissension on the ones previous to #59, lol. Maybe I am on ignore. I stated in the OP that I would not get into a 'saber rattling' with any on this final post. If I can encourage any I will...

    Before we delve into trying to unravel the seemed confusing 'conflict' of faith alone or faith plus works, let us examine some of the reasons why the verse in James is valid... and misunderstood. 1) On the day of judgement, Jesus focused on what people did or did not DO. Do you not find that...

    Can you feel it? The shaking in the body? The creeping in of craziness in posts? He uncertainty in things you read here? The animosity that seems to be taking root at a completely different level? The fear hinted at in some of the posts? I do. It is like an anchor that has kept us upright and...

    I fear that in sharing as I have, I am perhaps painting a picture of Christianity as God desires it but failing to give you ample reason to desire such a place. People have told me I concentrate too much on sin, and I think it is a valid point to be made. So may I encourage tour hearts? God...

    So what is next for the church.... the current mixture of wheat and tares? Before any correct me, I m fully aware that not all IN the church are OF the church. But because right now the two grow together and with the current preponderance of acceptance that once you say your prayer of faith, it...

    I so appreciate your posting. Not having many responses is actually a mixed blessing. I certainly am hopeful my words will resonate with some here, but as well, I am a bit surprised that many would stand in disagreement... and strongly. I certainly want to respond to those who are getting...

    Many read my words about a supernatural outpouring of the Spirit that not only rivals the early church, but surpasses it, and scoff. I have been told in no uncertain terms that a great falling is clearly foretold, but as to an awakening, no scriptural backing can be found. What they fail to see...

    A Last Word Spoken With Love And Tears....

    I know that some will disagree with that I share. They will recite verses that they say clearly promise salvation can never be lost. But it is important to remember that the promises of God refer the new man only, not the old. The truth of our need to put on brand new natures that God has...

    A Last Word Spoken With Love And Tears....

    Few may agree with me here as I share who God has revealed to me how His bride be restored to her former glory. I am not looking for agreement nor followers. In one of the posts on this site recently, one I was not participating in, prophets were being discussed and one poster made this point...

    Amen. But is it not to see to it that we understand the importance of obedience and how to insure we are kept on that path?

    A Last Word Spoken With Love And Tears....

    Before broaching the subject of tares in the church, let me preface my comments by stating in no uncertain terms I am in no way accusing any here of being a tare. We are told that love believeth all things and thinks the best, giving people the benefit of the doubt, as long as doubt remains. In...

    A Last Word Spoken With Love And Tears....

    "Why do you call me 'Lord, Lord' and not do the things I command you?" That is the ultimate question Jesus asks each one of us today. And there are just two answers. 1) We don't want to. or 2) We want to but do not know how. To the latter, to you who find your battle with sin and a self...

    A Last Word Spoken With Love And Tears....

    I have tried as best I could to share here and summarize the message God has given me to share. And any who are tired of their failure, their sin, their lack of fruit, their lack of assurance, their one-way 'God is so silent' prayer life, the condemnation they feel when they know it is supposed...

    A Last Word Spoken With Love And Tears....

    Ok, next. We have made clear that what I am sharing is not sinless perfectionism. That is a state a man purportedly arrives at where he simply does not sin. This is achieved by man's efforts, and... oh, it is impossible. On the other hand, the message I am sharing is that God can and will keep...

    A Last Word Spoken With Love And Tears....

    I appreciate your comments. My basis for saying that lust itself is not sin is that because we live in fleshly bodies, men have natural reactions to the sight of women. So it can be an immediate reaction when seeing a woman who is attractive to you. However, that lust is in the temptation...

    I am so sorry, sister. I guess my bite-sized nuggets are still a bit oversized. LOL. I have never been accused of being a man of few words. ☺️ When I first made this OP, I simply wanted to say good-bye with a short little summary of the message God gave me as to our ability to put on our new man...

    If you have been a Christian for a while, you know about the armor of God that we have all been given to fight off the attacks of the devil. This armor is fail-proof and as a matter of fact, Paul tells us concerning our shield of faith that it will quench ALL the fiery arrows of the enemy...

    A Last Word Spoken With Love And Tears....

    So..... we have seen that walking in victory over the world, the flesh and the devil is God's will for us, that we become sanctified body, soul and spirit. But what actually starts the process? How does someone who has battled sins both real and in their thoughts find the ground to stand on...

    I pray I do not offend if I do not answer commenters directly, as it easily gets off task. Hopefully, in the things I share here, many of His children will learn what has hindered them in growing up into Him in all things. blessings, Gids
