My own tree and vine

You spoke about mental illness and schizophrenia.

I don't have that. I was saved when I was in my 40's without a history of mental illness so when I was saved and God started speaking I had a lot less confusion about what it was.

That doesn't stop spiritual battles, and doesn't stop the voice of the demonic. For me that's the voice of my own insecurities that is at times very loud.

You lean to differentiate the voice of God - for me He just speaks using Scripture. It's always Scripture verses that He answers me in and speaks to me through.

If you have that it's a help. But if you have that you can also feel God's Spirit in other people.

It helps when looking for them.

When we don't know which voice is real we just follow scripture. Keep it simple and about the commands of Jesus and his apostles and about love, faith and hope. Mans theology is no good for people with mental problems. It's no good for anyone if you ask me.

Paul teaches church discipline, few churches have that in our day, so we are side by side even within the same physical church building now.

I have the Lord's chastening. I stopped sinning but God needs to redirect my focus sometimes, in my opinion anyway

Have you noticed that churches are splitting? That's because the harvest has begun. God is separating us .

I want to love people. I don't want to struggle to forgive. I don't want the divisions and confusion. I just want peace with everyone as we are commanded. When I fall short I feel chastised by God. Not to punish but to redirect me. In my opinion anyway. People don't love each other or God with divisions or political and economic fears and complaints. I just want to sit here and post about Jesus. It helps me rejoice in him.

Jesus said He came not to bring peace but a Sword, and further, that the Word of God divides even bone from marrow.

Jesus is Himself Peace, and he gave us that Peace in the Form of the Holy Spirit. (My peace I give to you John 14:27)

But we carry that Peace with us wherever we are and wherever we go. It's not about avoiding controversy, it's about having peace and love in the middle of it.

I cant have peace in divisions because divisions are sin.

Jesus said He came not to bring peace but a Sword,

This means that Jesus brings divisions between sinner and saint. I've divided from this world of sin.

We are different, we have different backgrounds and we are different people, we aren't always going to understand things the same way, or be in the same place in our learning.

But we can still love each other even still.

At any rate I'll stop bothering you. Just wanting to encourage you.

This is because church fails to teach people or they refuse to read the Bible and seek truth for their self. Jesus said seek and you will find.

You are not bothering me. I dont mind a pleasant conversation. Thank you

God is amazing. As I meditate on scripture today I note that I am a king and Priest. I dont get involved in politics because the kingdom is my nation. I'm a soldier as well and soldiers don't get involved with the cares of this life. Im also a temple. Soldier, temple, royal Priest and King.

Christ is the King, not us.

We are serving as priests in His Temple, and acting as soldiers in His Cause.

Jesus is king of kings. But the royalty is that we are Kings too. Scripture said that we are kings

[soldier of light]

I am a temple, priest and king
Jesus is my joy in everything

Such great love, he calls me His son
In the Spirit we are one

I often see people who say that we need church to rebuke and teach us but they wont tet anyone rebuke them or their church

 

[soldier of light]

Cteate in me a heart pleasing to you
Forged in fire tried and true

O how i love you my shepherd and Savior
Take me in your heart and keep me forever

People grieve me. We are in the end times and people see no problem with the church although scripture paints a different picture. It says that in the last days people will flock to teachers but not obey the truth. We have been in the last days for 2000 years.

I have peace in solitude.

 

[soldier of light]

This world makes me sick inside. I need a healing environment. That is solitude. I stay at home and mind my own business

 

[soldier of light]

Peace and rest In my soul
You alone Lord make me whole

No more complaints or strife
You are my joy and my life
