Agreed. And it is simple really...no two ways about it! :)

Well, I suppose there is no way you will EVER convince me as, I was not predestined to believe it...:rolleyes: BTW-how can there be consequences without choice?

Good question...I would say that they NEVER stop. He simply brings us "through" them, victoriously if we trust fully in Him. And then growth takes place, THROUGH faith/trust. Just have to learn how to rejoice in them which...is NOT always so easy but, He will be pleased and will deliver us...

That's a tough one. If it's genuine then I think we can know it is from the heart, hence through Christ? Satan tries to make us "proud" of our humility...and it can have us going in circles! I can remember the day it all changed for me. I was at someone's house and their tv was on, the Cops...

Oh brother, same here...when one asks, and they ALWAYS do, and with assumption as well like, "so, how many kids do you have, any grands? husband??" Presumptuous for sure. Not all were meant to have kids and boy let me tell you, I've seen TON'S of them who should not even be near them much...

Welcome to C.B.!

@stunnedbygrace said: "although when I was very new to Him I convinced myself all kinds of silly things were Him giving direction.:rolleyes:" Lol! I know, right? We were like excited children. Should still be that way...

Uma Thurman? :D

:D good one.

Ah, yes of course! It is exactly this way concerning putting my house on the market...have not heard from Him either way there so...making the plans to do just that and if a house does not open up for me, then I will continue to pray and trust anyhow. Love how He opens doors nobody can shut...

"But God doesn’t want us to be going and trying to be good and loving in our own strength, without power." Tru dat sister! But when one is not quite sure if something is or is not His will? We as a church, in toto, are very weak in these days. It is all as the bible say's that is happening...

Well put brother, couldn't have put it near as well. Thank you! It is so unreal how underhanded seemingly "decent people" can be to your face, no conscience there. Wow.

I am surely praying for number three my bro! And that the tests will go smoothly.

Awesome word Jen! Exactly how it is for me. As long as we hate our lives for the right reasons and not just because we are not content, or unhappy, lonely, depressed...we hate our lives to the death because of the sin we see when His light shines upon it...can come out of nowhere...and boy...

Hmmm, I don't think it was a coincidence, just doesn't sit well...God had His hand in that I would say. Has there been any more news on that nodule btw?

Yes, agreed but it still does make one hate themselves even more! It IS necessary and shows that the Holy Spirit is indeed working within, yeah, a very good thing! I have zero confidence in myself as, my choices have been so bad in life, I trust Him. When His light shines in all the corners...

Amen! Spot on sissy!!! This is where the discernment came in, I already had red flags with these people but, dismissed them as Satan trying to stop me from helping someone God want's me to help. I have no idea what I learned through over 11 years of it except to "TRUST NO MAN".

Good question brother, Yet, are we to just allow any and all to use us? Take advantage of us all the time? Got to draw the line somewhere or you'd be out of house and home. If my red flag goes up now, it is high and very bright! Will never again let someone who tries to make "fast friends"...

Lol, that's why I said "Sry" after, :D I've nothing against them as, one of my brothers and one of my sisters speak in tongues. I must ask John, what did you learn through those things your wife and yourself experienced? To not keep your eyes on others? Do not compare? <---now that's...

Hello brother, "I wondered a person speaking " I love you" is really meaning to say "I love your body" or "I love sex"." Agreed. Now a day's it's "I love ME and I WANT you, and till lust lasts, shall we part"....
