Bible Note: Amen Joe!! Tim, remember the parable of the sower? That is what applies to you. Where do you stand? I've pasted Jesus' explanation of these passages for your convenience: Matt 13:19 "When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is the one on whom seed was sown beside the road. Matt 13:20 "The one on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, this is the man who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; Matt 13:22 "And the one on whom seed was sown among the thorns, this is the man who hears the word, and the worry of the world and the deceitfulness of wealth choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Matt 13:23 "And the one on whom seed was sown on the good soil, this is the man who hears the word and understands it; who indeed bears fruit and brings forth, some a hundredfold, some sixty, and some thirty." Do you truly love the Lord Jesus Christ? If so, then as a soldier of Christ, you WILL BE wounded just like all of us. Those wounds are either self-inflicted or inflicted by the devil. I'm not speaking about physical wounds but spiritual ones that affect your conscience. But get back up and fight the good fight. Keep away from temptations, like the Apostle James said, "Resist the devil and he will flee from you." James 4:7. We all are proned to certain sins, we have to stay away from those sins that can master us, and of course all sins generally. Don't ever forget what the Apostle Paul said, Romans 8:38-39 "For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Notice he said "any other created thing", guess what, that even includes you!! You cannot even remove YOURSELF from God's hand if you are truly His. So praise God that He always keeps His promises, and continue in advancing His kingdom. Stop worrying about your problems and begin to serve the body of Christ. You will find real fulfillment there. In Christ, Onnig |
