Instead of focusing on human so-called "will power' the believer should be keenly and painfully aware of his/her own helplessness and entirely, confidently focused on HIS power.
Similar here (not same, similar).
But one half hour completely possessed by the Spirit of God and it all becomes meaningless dust.
Moriah's term for that would be symbiosis.Have you been there? Maybe yours not mine incorporated (I know who hunts). That adaptive takes time to cumulate or mold as it were. The feeds showing only that which is perceptive by the formed neural receptors because the mind could not withstand the input until it had been prepared or beaten into a status which it was able to recieve such information.
Reach for the light and switch it on, and the darkness bes annihilated.Granted everything that it is not of light is dark. And moving into areas and interacting with beings which traffic in lies could not remove certian aspects of the discernable (interpretable) environment. Those low lying scavengers taking less precedence than the megaliths (bearing semblance) and leaving a more residual impression. If the light has truely shined into the darkness of the mind, was it residual, or did it bear consciousness?
Glad to hear from you again. I was growing concerned. We all have that problem at one time or another - leaving it in His hands. I just commit it to Him once again, and as many times as it takes. When the thought comes back I'll say, "No, that's the Lord's. It's not my concern any longer."Thank you for your encouragement.
I feel God working in my life. He has not forsaken me, He never will. My spirit was lifted up yesterday, and today too. I am praising God for this, and praying this continues. I realize I have been fighting him on my church situation. I was upset that I have been praying for Him to lead me to another church, if its His will, but this hasn't happened. No matter how much I WANT to move churches, I realize I can't do that if this is where God wants me to be...so my flesh was fighting Him. But I've got to let go of the steering wheel of my life and let God take control. Put it in His hands completely, and LEAVE it in His hands. Thats a problem I have, leaving things in His hands. Thank you again.
Moriah speaks what God bes teaching her.Moriah, I am liking what you told to Gozu. As it is HIS truth.
just took an unexpected unforeseen unanticipated spiritually and emotionally plummeting nosedive into the abyss.
no, not a fall from grace -- it did not do some sin to incur this. it bes a wound for what there bes no healing and no balm, and any effort to find healing or balm for it just leads to it erupting, opening wider, bleeding more profusely. moriah keeps faithfully covering it up so it won't offend anyone, trying to salve it with hope and cheer and faith and forgiveness, etc. -- all that good stuff, and it seems to work for a time but then it bes suddenly like someone just picks it up and HURLS it into the bottomless pit of absolute pain and anguish, despair and agony, and it cannot so much as see clear to begin to climb out. (the onset of this crap being sudden and supernatural, it never knows when it will hit).
just please please pray ... if anyone even cares ... this bes danger zone stuff.![]()
