Thanks for your response.
I would never say Paul is a false teacher.
You need not worry about me
Like Paul, I hate my sin and I’m not afraid to
talk about it.
I cannot testify in Christ that I am perfect but
that I am saved by His glory, and by His grace.

We are Gods works, His glory refined in this life
for His purpose.

Don't worry Right way Right, sometimes ? in my posts ?

Sometimes ? it's dirrected at the person I am writing to ?

Or ?

I go on a long winded preaching journey, sorry about that.

Most of it was preahcing agaist those teachers who preach and teach that you are saved by keeping the law who are wolves, false teachers...

The only thing I was writing to you about was the encouragement part, to don't lose heart.
Be ye comforted my friend, your not alone in this struggle and battle, and keep the faith.

I heard a preacher recently say, you know how you know your saved ?

When you know that you struggle with sin, and war with the flesh daily.
He said that before we get saved ?

We didn't have this struggle with the flesh, and didn't even care if we sinned.

Remember ?

The Gosple Message ?

God's word ?

It's suppose to produce fruit in our lives.

It's suppose to produce LIFE in our lives, not death.

Even Paul said in one of his letters, I think to the Corinth church that the preaching of the letter of the law that was written on stones was the ministry of death.


God's word is suppose to produce life in our lives.


Faith comes by hearing ?
And hearing by the word of God.


Be encouraged my friend, and be ye comforted.


Just the very fact you hate your sin and struggle with it means the holy spirit is at work in your very life.


The greatest miracle we can ever see in a person's life is when God can finally show that person where they have been wrong, or in error.


Once God with his holy spirit shows you where there is a problem ?

God says, now you know it, and I know it ?

Give it to me and watch me heal it and fix it.


But ? Right Way Right ?

It's God who does the fixing, the healing, the transformation, the deleverance, you just sit back and let GOD do it all.

Be ye comforted my friend and be amazed in how God changes your heart without you even blinking a eye or effort.


Keep yourself in God's word and watch the transformation.

Be ye comforted my friend.

Remember ? God made it simple for us, man and man's religion makes it hard for people.

Just remember the simplicity of Christ.

Be ye encouraged, and be ye comforted my friend.

Be ye encouraged and comforted.


Focus not on your love for God for even Peter failed when he told Jesus that he would follow Jesus even unto death.
I am sure Peter boasted of his love for the LORD... but he failed the LORD big time, he denied Jesus 3 times.

And how all of us have failed the LORD from time to time if all of us were honest and truthful ?


Rather ?
Focus on the love that God has for you, for John knew it, for he was the disiple that Jesus loved.
Eventually the other disiples came around to knowing that, even Peter.


Remember ? when we are weak, his is made strong in our weakneses.

What the natural mind thinks in what it should do for GOD is counter intuitive to what God wants, or thinks.

For the natural mind, the human nature or the carnal mind is at emity with GOD nor can the natural mind, human nature, or the carnal mind be subject to the things of the spirit of GOD.


Focus, focus, focus not on, or boast about your love for GOD, but rather boast about, think upon the unfailing love GOD has for you.

Be ye encouraged and be ye comforted, ohh ye beloved of GOD.

Here is how God's love is manifested and perfected towards us.



I John 4:9-10:

9. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.

10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.

Sometimes ?

God uses the simple things to confound the wise.

Sometimes ?

God uses those things that the natural mind, or the carnal mind thinks is so shilly and not worthy of talking about in " Religious Circles " .

However ?

I don't care what the " religious folk " have to say.


Sometimes ?


God speaks to us, and or teaches us in ways that the ordinary mind thinks is shilly or crazy.


Or ?


God uses things that are out of the ordinary.

Or things that we least expected.
( because man in his pride thinks he knows it all)




For example.


Have you ever heard of the true story from Japan of a truely loyal dog, a excellent standard of faithfulness, of loyalty, of a dog named " Hachiko " ?



The real dog's picture.


Hachiko



This true story and movie is a real tear jerker.... get your tissue incase someone is cutting onions.


Yes, it's a true story, and there have been 2 movies made of it.

It's a very touching and true story of a man and a dog and the dog's love, devotion, faithfullness, and loyalty to his human friend.

In the movie ?


The man, the professor finds the dog at a train station and takes him home.
After 2 years ( I think ) the professor dies, but the dog still waits at the train station for him to come home even 10 years after he died.


Yes, the dog would wait for the professor in Japan to come home riding into the station after work day after day, year after year until the dog waiting for his human friend died at the very train station the human friend found him.


What it taught me ?


It's a very tangable way to see and learn in how ?


God's unfailing love towards us,

God's unfailing faithfullness towards us even when we fail him.


Check it out in the internet.
