To MommieSadie, The Word of God is companionship and should be examined for its richness in the Bible. Read the Book of Love which is John(New Testament) as many times as it takes to have a breakthrough that speaks directly into your heart. Find a good commentary book like "The MacArthur New Testament Commentary Matthew 1-7" to read a true expounding of Jesus' Sermon on The Mount. Let this great expositor John MacArthur help enrich the bible for you that you can see deeper into the Word of God and start to feel the love that exists in Gods Word for you. I would suggest you go to a local large vibrant Holy Spirit filled church that has lots of resources to help you in every way that you need help. Let your local fellow Christian believers shower upon you the Grace of God through their loving and caring actions for you, and with you. But, you must take a step like a baby taking her first faltering step. Take one day at a time and ask for help at your local church. Realize that it may take years to get where you will be a strong enough Christian to realize God has been with you all along. If you have ever listened to a Sermon that caused the hairs on the back of your neck to raise then it is an indication that the Holy Spirit is bearing witness with your consience that the words you are hearing are true. Right now, read this and feel the hair on your neck raise...We who are reading your words feel your pain and want to point you to Jesus who can heal your hurting heart. Know that God will come to you like he came to many of us...in a still small voice and say to you also..."You are a lost lamb". Repent and atone for your sins and put your faith in Jesus that you will find salvation. Also, to protect yourself from making further bad choices that might make your life an even bigger mess do not publish your home address on the internet. There are dangerous people who would love to exploit your vulnerabilities and you do not need further damage caused by someone you thought was a Christian. In the name of Christ I pray for His peace to come to you and bring you everlasting peace through salvation. Love you, MWLaine |

Hello MWLaine, Your response to MommieSadie sounds sencere but might I caution you? Please be careful not to teach that an emotional experience (such as having the hair on your neck raise) is the indicator of the Holy Spirit's work. Personally, I've had the hair on the back of my neck raise during a scarry movie. What I have learned after years of hearing sermons is that the true test of witness is that of Scripture. I appreciate that your focus seems to be that of comforting MommieSadie (although her/his post was a couple of months ago) but that comforting should be consistent with the teachings of God's word. God bless, Jeff |

How to respond??? Thank you and Doc for your concern. Witness of Scripture is how the Holy Spirit leads my mind to remember and zero in on a piece of scripture that is pertinent to the situation being mulled over. These revelations can cause many different emotions when the truth is revealed so that the sinner realizes they are in need of a cleansing repentance to God Almighty. Did not God give man the gift of emotion? Maybe so we could love God and our neighbor? Maybe so we could recognize our need to be Poor in Spirit? Or, Maybe so we could be Mournful over our sin? Or, Maybe so we can get riled-up(hunger and thirst for righteousness) at our perception of injustice? Or, Maybe so we can take pity upon a poor soul whose screamed out plea of "I NEED A TRUE FRIEND THAT IS A CHRISTIAN" can be responded to in love? Or, maybe so we can respond in peace to our brother whose rebuke is well intentioned? I don't know anything I am not a theology major I simply read and love Gods Word. And on this occasion I was simply perusing past written questions and replies and the Holy Spirit led me to respond to MommieSadie with encouragement. I want MommieSadie to know that God experiences do occur and I always have an emotional response to having been given the gift of being able to logically string together the sequences of events to some of the miracles I have witnessed. We are all sinners of which I am the worst. Mea Culpa and Lighten up Brothers, MWLaine PS: Jeff the Holy Spirit was bearing witness with your spirit that you should not have been watching whatever scary movie you were watching. |

Hello MWLaine, sorry to take so long to respond, I didn't even turn on my computer last night, my wife had me baking cookies. I appreciate that you are not a theology major; nether am I. The concern that I expressed regarding your post was sincere and most definitely in the spirit of encouraging bible study. But more importantly, I was concerned that we don't allow unbiblical teachings to hang out there on the forum unaddressed. I might use even your last post that I am responding to as an example. You wrote: "PS: Jeff the Holy Spirit was bearing witness with your spirit that you should not have been watching whatever scary movie you were watching." Really? Why would you make such a statement? "the Holy Spirit was bearing witness..." It is these kinds of unfounded statements that stray far from bible study and deep into speculation based on a whole lot of assumption. So the point that needs to be made here is this. Absolutely God gave us emotion. We are mistaken, however, if we believe that those emotions are in any way intended to validate what is true and what is not. Once again, and referring back to your original post, it is only by God's word, the Holy Bible, that we are to test what we here to see if it is true. Acts 17:10-11 (NASB95) 17:10 The brethren immediately sent Paul and Silas away by night to Berea, and when they arrived, they went into the synagogue of the Jews. 11 Now these were more noble-minded than those in Thessalonica, for they received the word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. Please also see 2Tim 2:15. Hope this is helpful, Jeff |
