Subject: Is God hand so short that he cannot lead |
Bible Note: Praise God for missions! Perhaps when I took my bold stance on Works based theology it was a little strong. I am responding to what I believe to be an unction from our Lord Jesus. I had no intentions of getting involved with this forum or any thing like it. You could say I am sharpening my sword. I HEAR you! My expression at this point could be a little rough and perhaps needs some tempering. I will make your constructive criticisms a matter of prayer; my hearts desire has been to express more of the Love of God. Much of the word that has been revealed to me has been pent up to a degree and like a dam has been broken it is being expressed. I appreciate you feedback! Currently I am in a church I believe at this time is were I need to be. I have found acceptance of who I am and am becoming in Christ. I have been pent up for a very long time. I have nothing negative to say about what the Baptist Church has done in the way of leading people into a born again experience. I do have a problem with all denominations and leaders that have dropped and continue to drop the ball in the area of discipleship and walking in faith, through Christ, by the Spirit. I can count on one hand how many sermons I have heard on how to "Walk in the Spirit." In many Churches the newly saved are subjected to the condemnation of sin and not the forgiveness of sin and find themselves in a tailspin of sinful works, unable to get free. I was one of these believers that was not discipled as the Bible teaches, What I have found out about Jesus, I found out the hard way by trial and error, Bible study, and the Spirit of God. The last 30 years has not been pretty. But quite rewarding. I have such a glorious revelation of Salvation by faith as it is written in Romans 4 and By David and I am walking in HIS works not mine. Do I need refinement, YES! I have very little problem with the things you have said to me and how you said them. A few others have not been quite so graceful. If you would read the posting I left for Graceful this ID#88898, I believe you might see something worth reading, and a lot more compassionate. I did not ask to write Gods words, he has led me to do so. I am not a writer; my grades in High school prove that. He has done a miracle in enabling me to communicate as well as I do. I am sure I will become more palatable as time goes on. Thank you, Love, Tim |
