Thanks all for the prayers.(Pariah;23855)
Hi Jag,Matthew 24: 44Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. 45Who then is a faithful and wise servant, whom his lord hath made ruler over his household, to give them meat in due season? 46Blessed is that servant, whom his lord when he cometh shall find so doing.I am wondering if my thread offended you now.. the one on "The Name of Yahshua?"I have always thought we were like-minded in Christ. I did ask in my first post for any correction if what I had come across wasn't entirely true. I hope you understand that we are all walking with the Lord, but there will be growths of maturity as well as prunings so as to bear more fruit.1 Corinthians 13: 8Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. 9For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. 10But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. 11When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. 12For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. 13And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.I look at myself at how many times the Lord corrected me.. even the same sins as if I was the nation of Israel, but as the Good Shepherd, He led me away from temptations and delivered me from the evil one... He is doing it. He corrected my speech in not bearing testimony of myself in regards to the Lord's work as only He can do His work in me so I am to bear witness of my faith in Him to the world.I am sorry that you are going through a difficult time with your family..... [Content editted of personal pain and suffering in relation to my family that I love.]If I had any doubts that the Lord did not want me with them, they were gone when I moved here in Pennsylvania for the fifth grade from Iowa.The very first night, I dreamt that I went out to the mailbox to see if the mail has been forwarded that quick yet. There was none, but I turned to see my two neighbors walking across their yard from their house to the right of my new home across a lot which was their yard also into the back yard. I thought maybe someone from my family is in the backyard as they went to greet them. It was not so as moments later they walked by the open back door of the garage where I saw them as the big garage door was open for me to see that. Then they walked around to the side of the house and then instead of going to the front door, they went into the garage to knock on that door that led into the kitchen. Then that was the end of the dream.The very next day, I went out to the mailbox, and it happened the very same way.. exactly. I asked the Lord why He was showing me this as I failed to see the relevancy of this dramatic revelation of the prophetic dream. It was impressed upon me, "The stage is set. The players are in place. The die is cast." Thus if any doubt came to me that I was not to be here, the Lord reminds me of that event.I am sorry if my thread offended you or made you mad at yourself. I do not know if that be the cause of you leaving as you stated hating evil doctrines or because of my stance on the hope for the rapture event as it is for judgment being needed to fall on the House of God first, but as it is, know that I do love you in the Lord as I do all my brothers and sisters in Christ... as I seek their good in the Lord to be found abiding in Him.[Content editted of personal pain and suffering in relation to my family that I love]I had always thought of you, kriss, Denver, and a few others as sound in the faith. So what if no one accepts what I have believed about the rapture. I was using it as a call to be ready. If I am wrong, I trust the Lord to remind me and encourage me as we all go through the great tribulation, but I really don't believe I will, God be willing, since I am trusting the Lord to keep me from falling and to present me faultless for the rapture event.... and if not.. then for getting through the great tribulation. But the call is to be always ready. It isn't about when the first rapture will be as it is about being ready.Is this the reason you are leaving? My thread on "The Name of Yahshua" or my stance on the rapture? Or have you been embroiled in a conversation with heretics that you just need a break from this for now? Well, I hope the Lord will use those few scriptures I had posted to encourage you to continue in love towards those that are lost and minister the Word rightly as the Lord has been doing through you, kriss, and Denver, and a few others in regards to keeping the faith in Jesus Christ so as those that God may peradventure deliver out of the snare of the devil and be found abiding in Him when He appears.I probably made a mistake in sharing my pain with you (which I have ediited now*), but I felt like letting you know that you suffer not alone. Jesus is helping me walk through this valley of death as He will help you. I , myself, do not know if I will be back tomorrow on the internet, but I do look forward to Jesus taking me Home to be with my permanent family... and yes, I do hope my family down here may be found abiding in Him also to be there in Heaven... by the grace of God.Matthew 12: 49And he stretched forth his hand toward his disciples, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 50For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother.I know it is kind of futile to have fellowship on the internet, but I am hoping to see you soon as well as kriss, Denver, and many as the Lord enables to be found abiding in Him when He appears. From what brief encounters we can share through the Word in equipping the saints on the internet, we leave it to God to cause the increase. The burden of results is on the Lord, not on us, praise Him.1 Corinthians 3: 5Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers by whom ye believed, even as the Lord gave to every man? 6I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. 7So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.Sorry if I offended you, Jag. If you want, I can leave just so you can be here with kriss and Denver and whomever else you love to share the faith in with to encourage one another in this fast fading world. I can limit my internet access to two forums instead of three. My folks are pressuring me to limit my time anyway on the internet, only because I would rather be with believers in Christ and hopefully help any wayward believer through the scriptures as the Lord enables me as I am called to love one another in seeking their good in the Lord. Would my going away help you to remain? Please say so, and I shall leave. I truly love ya, in Christ.
Pariah, Don't leave at all. Your posts is NOT what bothers me. What bothers me is that my flesh family thinks I'm being so brainwashed because I study the KJV with Strong's Exhaustive Concordance that uses the Hebrew and Greek words. (I have no need to believe in the Kenites doctrine such as eight souls only on the ark, God saves the races) What's strange is my mother doesn't read the bible, yet believes God doesn't hate. God hates evil. Especially the Pagan Easter holiday that they (mom and her friend) thinks I'm crazy on that too.Guys, I'll still post here...thanks for the prayers everyone...but please even though I'm still going to post, please pray for me still. I love you all. I'll pray for my family as that is all I can do.JagLovest ye in Christ Yahshua our Lord and Saviour.
