1 | The letter kills the Spirit brings life | 1 Cor 7:15 | answers | 88768 | ||
dear justme once again you eminate the character of Jesus in your humility and humbleness in not wanting to take credit for any of what you said to me in your last post, in other words, if i am correct you are saying that you did nothing. Jesus also said in John 5v30 "i can of myself do nothing" in verse 19 he makes the same statment, yet you try telling the 5000 witnesses who ate and saw the marical of the 5 loaves and 2 fish that he did nothing mmmmm! You try telling those witnesses who were healed by pauls shadow and those that he laid hands on and were healed that he did nothing, I still give you aplause, and i understand that it is not you who has reached out to me but indeed it was the Lord, but you cannot tell me you did nothing, But check out this comment and then the scripture. Proverbs 27:2 Note, 1. We must do that which is commendable, for which even strangers may praise us. Our light must shine before men, and we must do good works that may be seen, though we must not do them on purpose that they may be seen. Let our own works be such as will praise us, even in the gates, Phil. 4:8. 2. When we have done it we must not commend ourselves, for that is an evidence of pride, folly, and self-love, and a great lessening to a man's reputation. Every one will be forward to run him down that cries himself up. There may be a just occasion for us to vindicate ourselves, but it does not become us to applaud ourselves. Proprio laus sordet in ore-- Self-praise defiles the mouth. from Matthew Henry's Commentary Prov 27:2 2 Let another man praise you, and not your own mouth; a stranger, and not your own lips. (NKJ) So you see this is what i am doing, i am praising you honoring you for being obediant to the Holy Spirit, for allowing the Holy Spirit to use you to speak the father heart of God to me. What im trying to say i guess is, thank you, thank you for being Jesus to me and other people,and i agree with you, the Bible is the only word of God, but any brother in Christ who speaks peace, love, compassion, gentelness, understanding, grace and hope, speaks the language and words of God and proverbs has this to say. Prov 25:11 11 A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in settings of silver. (NKJ) Proverbs 25:11-12 Instructive similes Solomon here shows how much it becomes a man, 1. To speak pertinently: A word upon the wheels, that runs well, is well-circumstanced, in proper time and place-- instruction, advice, or comfort, given seasonably, and in apt expressions, adapted to the case of the person spoken to and agreeing with the character of the person speaking-- is like golden balls resembling apples, or like true apples of a golden colour (golden rennets), or perhaps gilded, as sometimes we have gilded laurels, and those embossed in pictures of silver, or rather brought to table in a silver network basket, or in a silver box of that which we call filigree- work, through which the golden apples might be seen. Doubtless in was some ornament of the table, then well known. As that was very pleasing to the eye, so is a word fitly spoken to the ear. (from Matthew Henry's Commentary) So my dear justme i thank you once again for your Holy Spirit inspired words of wisdom and comfort. just some thing else that you may want to know, i dont know if i have mentioned it but my wife and i are assistant cell leaders and we are part of the healing team in our church, we have both been saved and having a relationship with Jesus for almost 3 years now, and God is doing a quik work in our lives as we RUN THE RACE to become more like his son Jesus. I do know however, that i have been called to evangelizem not just in my place of work but in and around Africa, i am just waiting for God to release me into full time ministry, but in the mean time i look, listen and learn until my appointed time comes. Justme any time you just want to talk to somebody about God,Jesus the Holy Spirit or just talk hay! i would be happy to comply. KYLE |

dear searcher in answer to your question about if i was the cause of the divorce? let me asure you if i was i would not be so eager to share on this page, but yes the answer to that statment is a great big NO. i thank you that you brought it to my attention that, "it is not up to me to decide if my spouse is or was a christian" once again i would not have mentioned this if i did not infact know the truth about my spouses commitment to Jesus, and again she said NO she was not yet saved.as i said we both doubted our salvation we did not think we were going to heaven when we died. thank you for the bible lesson. refering to your other statment "you will eventually find someone who will give you the answer you want" Well yes i have the answer, the written word of God I Jn 3:21 21 Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence toward God. (NKJ) i am confident that my marriag to my darling wife is a God blessed one, we have confidence towards God. thank you for your words of wisdom, as the scripture says, Prov 23:12 12 Apply your heart to instruction, and your ears to words of knowledge.
