Amen. the direct route is always best.

i’ll just add that i can often hear and learn more from God through His God fearing elect. my best friend comes to mind. after all it is a walk and some are further along than i. for instance, i’m hearing God through you, today.

thanks and may God bless.

It's more than just that.
God's word tells us to be transformed by the renewing of our minds by his word.

Many things that we are taught in life, man's concepts ? ideas ? ways ? are they true ?

I have more to up lift you with It will bless you.

I was going through the same thing that Bishop and pastor T.D. Jakes was going through.

It so happened, when I was in deep depression ( yeah, he also has another sermon, " THINGS JUST DONT HAPPEN. " ...
Anyway, I was in deep depression, no purpose in life, and it so happened, remember ? things just don't happen in a Christian’s life.

This sermon from T.D. Jakes is on YouTube called " WHY DID GOD CHOSE ME ".

He goes on and says he was in a place in his life where he felt that he was sinking, drowning, and he needed a life line to pull him back up and give him a reason to go on living.( must have been many years ago when he was young )
He said he got tired of man's counsel, man's fodder, and so he dug into God's word.
He goes on how God knew us even before we were created in our mother's womb.
He says that God knew us even before this world was formed.
God ordained you, and set you apart for a purpose, and when God willed you to be, and to be birthed, nothing in this world could stop your birth and God's will.
The greatest honor, praise, gift you can give back to God is be the person, and purpose whom God created you to be.
I was at the place in life that I got tired of what man, people were saying, it's all a lie.

Have you ever been at the place of life where everything you have been taught, told to believe in was all a lie ?

Have you ever had a dream that God has given you and when you told other people they discouraged you ? told you that you can't do it ? told you that you can't open a business ? that you can't do this, you can't do that ?

Have you ever had God tell you that God loves you and then had people tell you that your a nobody ? a loser ?

I got so sick and tired of what people have to say.

And another thing ?

Have you noticed ? for example ?

Celebrating New Years leaves a empty feeling in your soul ?
What's the point ? what the purpose ?

I have come to a place in life where the only thing worth celebrating is God, and God alone.
