Bible Question: I'd like to say thank you to the one who urged me to return to this battle. I won't give your name, but I do appreciate you not wanting to see my defeat. joel k |
Bible Answer: To Joel and all of us a reminder: Your battles belong to the Lord as do you:) We think even on this forum that we struggle and fight sometimes with one another. Does anyone here believe that God wants us to bicker and fight over the His Word and hurt and offend each other. I can only think of one who desires this. Do you know why I sometimes come off as unbelieveably humble or forgiving? Because when I see strife entering into our threads... I know where it originates. We are the children of God and we have but one Enemy. When we fight God is not pleased, only satan is happy. (Hell is ecstatic). We only think we are struggling against Khuck, Tim, Searcher, EdB, Kalos, Aixen... that is what the enemy wants us to believe... but we have to try to remember what Paul said... Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. And in this I seek to find a way to always make peace with my siblings in The Lord... and then... AIN'T NOBODY MAD... Except the devil. If I hold my peace and let the Lord fight my battles, I know that the victory will be mine. If trying hard to walk upright, all my battles He will fight... I know that the victory will be mine. Put on your armor and Stand, once fully armed you will stand... because you will stand on a Rock. In Love to the Children of the Most High God, -Kathy |
