1 | The risk of emptying oneself? | NT general Archive 1 | 2Tim215 | 180447 | ||
Hi y'all. Azure (pretty name, makes me think of a sky-blue color, since we're on the subject of different names!), I think you hit the nail head dead on–Jesus was talking about a so-called believer. I think that if a man says, "I'm going to fix myself," banishes his inner demons, puts his "house" in order, but doesn't fill his "house" with the Holy Spirit, the demon's going to come back with seven more, much more horrible friends! I'm thinking of an alcoholic. They say, "I'm going to quit," and stop but don't fill their thirst with God's love, the addiction is just going to come back sevenfold and overtake the drinker. But hey, what do I know. God bless. |

Dear Tim, Glad to have you on this forum. Yes, it is sky-blue, my favourite colour. I am happy to see that while most of the teens now are pursuing their lives in the worldly joy and lusts, you are devoting yourself to studying the word of God. What a blessing! I would like to encourage you persevere it. Don't give up. It would be a long and hard road but surely blessed with God's grace abundantly. Matt 19:27 Then Peter said to Him, "Behold, we have left everything and followed You; what then will there be for us?" 28: And Jesus said to them, "Truly I say to you, that you who have followed Me, in the regeneration when the Son of Man will sit on His glorious throne, you also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. 29: "And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or farms for My name's sake, will receive many times as much, and will inherit eternal life. 30 "But many who are first will be last; and the last, first. I always remind myself with verse 30. Shalom Azure |
