My mistake

[Bluelion]

I once had power in this world and I was full of pride. Like the Bible says pride before a great fall, i had a great fall and lost everything. I took a 7 year journey into my self. The Bible speaks of men's hearts failing them and mine did. I did thing I swore I would never do. I sinned with out limit not because I wanted to but because I thought I was following God. I was blinded by my own pride. I am going into preaching and was relieved to find out every preacher struggles with pride. I learned the best parts about my self were Jesus living in side of me, and i had no strength at all, but it was all God's strength. I learned how to pray. God created a new life for me. What i found out was the things I loved before the fall I did not really care about at all. That what was in my heart was Jesus, and I love him. I learned i love family, my Wife, Kids, even my Mom, Dad and Brother.
I learned this world does not matter, and my eyes were open.

I would not wish what I went through on anyone, but I do wish you get to know the truths I have learned, and that you Love Love. I love, Love. I am not prefect and I still struggle with pride, but I am on the Good road walking with my path lit. My mistake was say I. I am strong, I am Great. I am this or that. There is only one I am and that is God. I am not a God. I am a slave of God. WHat I know is there is a better life beyond this horizon Where there is no suffering or tears, and we are prefect redeemed in the Blood of Christ. Where there is no more sin and no matter how bad this life maybe, in that place we will forget our sufferings. Love is our God, and we will love freely. i hope to see you there, and i hope you see what God has shown me.

Peace and Love

Amen.

Thank you for your candid honesty. All of us have struggled with pride and are even too prideful to admit it.

Even Paul struggled with pride, he probably was an intimidating and authoritive Pharisee then Jesus called him and ironically transformed him from Pharisee into a mighty in word and deed Apostle of the Gentiles.

This passage gives us a good stern warning to evaluate ourselves.

1 Timothy 3:6

Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.

We can't forget who made us and chose us before the foundations of the earth, our mighty God is the potter and we are the mere clay to serve his calling and glory. The author and finisher of our faith.

Only Jesus represents the perfect image of God. Never ourselves.

Nice testimony, Lion. I pray that we are reborn in Spirit so that we are led by Him and not our selfish stone hearts.

I know I'm gonna get jacked for doing this...but I hear this all the time in the forums and real life.
If you are gonna talk the talk, walk the walk brother. Testimony only goes as far as your words. Most people never go any further. I must rebuke this here and now. I hope something is learned about true love for a brother in Christ by biblical rebuking.
You are a fan of rebuking (not judging) others right? I totally agree that rebuking brothers and sisters of our faith is biblical. Here ya go.
Not being rude, just being real.

So your calling me a lair? why don't you bring it before God and see what happens

If I am such a horrible person as you and the others claim why are you not praying for me? Why are you not doing Good to me why have you been ,mocking and ridiculing me because that is not what Jesus says to do. Its funny how you accuse me of sinning why you your self sin against me. Do you claim to speak by way of The Holy Spirit, do claim that is who leads you. I dare you to claim that.

The fact is you came into the evolution thread and jumped on the bandwagon of attacking me. Such things are of this world you saw people throwing stones so you threw them to. That is not the way of Jesus.

Did i get angry yes, and when a person gets angry they can be harsh and sin, did you guys get the better of me sure, but I am still standing because God hold me up.

oh and NVM where you called me brother and took it back, I don't know if you are a brother of mine.
