21 | Holy Spirit -Joy, Laughter, Tears? | 1 Cor 12:31 | winningside | 171736 | ||
Dear Seacher56, I would like to tell you my story of tears, laughter and joy. I sat in a pentecostal church for 12 years and still could not understand all that myself. I could not understand how all this could be going on around me, but seemed to be something that I personally could not have. I did not understand. One night I was on my way to church and I was praying to God because I was a little down that night and just wanted to tell God about it. I got to church and just sat there quietly waiting for church to begin. The preacher walked up to the pulpit and before he said a word, something just hit me. Something I never felt before and could not fully explain but I wanted to jump up and run, but I sat there holding onto my chair. I felt like I was going to explode. After church was over I left and rode down the rode laughing, crying and absolutely filled with joy. I would laugh awhile, cry awhie, then laugh and cry at the same time and this went on for a couple hours. I knew it was the Holy Ghost. The comforter that God promised me in his word. Finally after all those years of wondering and waiting, it was my turn. God saw my heart. He knew I needed him. And it felt like he just filled me with pure love. Before that night, I could never say that "God loved me". I just could not get those words to come out of my mouth because I didn't believe that he did because I was not good enough. In Romans 15:13 it says - Now the God of hope fill you with ALL JOY and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost. I do not know why it took me so many years, but I can tell you that, after that night my life was changed. That was about 4 years ago and I am learning that the Holy Ghost is love, joy, laughter and tears. He is also my comfort and my peace. Romans 5:5 And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. When you love someone you do laugh with them, cry with them and feel joy when they are happy. That's what love does. May the Holy Ghost fill us all until we are overflowing! May God Bless you winningside |

23 | What will our heavenly bodies be? Phys. | Philippians | winningside | 163248 | ||
Read all of 1 Corinthians 15. 35But someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?" 36How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. 39All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. 40There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. 41The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor. 42So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"[e]; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. 48As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. 49And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven. I hope this helps. winningside |

24 | Trying to go straight | Phil 4:8 | winningside | 162861 | ||
Wow, I feel for you so much. I have a close relative who is going through basicly the same thing. You can not do it yourself. Can not. But with God all things are possible,it really really is. I never in a million years thought that my life would ever change but somehow it did. I am not a homosexual. I am a married woman with grown children, but still have many issues that I had to battle and get through. It's a long hard process. It's not going to happen over night. But if you have a true desire to go straight, then God will help you through. I do not believe that God sits on his throne and says "Nope, I'm not going to help You" God is always working in the background. He has the answer in the works. He does not leave you to yourself because he know that you will fell. Keep reaching out to God because he is the Only person that will truly be able to help you. Stay in God's word. Stay in church. No matter how many thoughts you have. Just keep pressing through and keep moving on. It will be better and better with time. Don't give up. Hold on to Jesus and he will Hold on to you. Remember - you are on the winningside. | ||||||

27 | searching for the truth | Philem 1:6 | winningside | 164768 | ||
Hi FytRobert, I do not think there is a clear-cut answer. I wish there was. Everyone is different and has to be approached differently. I believe the main thing to do is to pray for them and ask God to drop the blinders from off their eyes and make their heart tender to accept God's word. FytRobert, I think that since you care enough about this person's soul to ask, then I think God will show you how to live before them and show you when to say something and when to hold your peace. Only God can change them, or save them, but he can use you as his vessel, especially since you are so willing. Bless you for caring - winningside |
