Description
I have been a "Christian" since i was a kid, it was not until i got married that i realized that i was not loving the Lord the way i should. I changed that and started to study the word of God more and more. Now i am just nuts to do His good pleasure. I am so jacked up on Jesus i cannot explain how great it is. Some people think it's just a phase, the fire has been growing in me for over two years. People around me have mentioned to me about the change they have seen in me. I got sick of church because they were not preaching the word of the Living God, and i stopped going for a while. But as i was reading scripture i learned that i was not to forsake the assembling with other believers. Hebrews 10:25 (KJV) 25Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching. and in 2 Timothy 3:16 16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: So this was something i had to struggle with. I was torn i did not want to go back to the place i was. It did no good but to get me upset that the minister wasted all those peoples time and mine on a message that was more him speaking then the word of God being used to instruct people in their life. To me the church is the aid station. I come to it to be comforted and encouraged by those that follow Jesus Christ and to comfort and encurage those that attend as well. 1 Peter 4:2 Feed the flock of God which is amon you, taking the oversight thereof, not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy lucre, but of a ready mind; Instead i come away feeling like i was still out on the battle field helplessly watching as the children of God were being lead to hell. Not many people carry their Bibles to church with them anymore. They have gotten so lazy and let the minister just put the words up on a screen for them to read. My question is how do you know what is said from the pulpit is true if you don't have the Living Word of God with you to check it by. But that's another story. Now i know your probably thinking this is way to crazy, and that i am exaggerating. All i can say is this is what i see from my perspective. When i was born again i was born into war. Satan has done his best to try and kill me and he's rightfully ticked off because he hasn't been (and wont be) successful in that endevour. Yet i like it that way, he hates my guts and i hate his, so the feeling stays mutual. I want to cause him so many headaches and tick him off so much that he will send the whole horde of hell after me. The idiot doesn't get it that he's outnumbered. As i press for the things of God, Satan will loose all thought about who i serve and focus just on me. So when they come out for a fight the Host of Heaven will be there to show Satan who's really is in charge. The Word of God says to fear not. The only one we are to fear is God himself. Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
