Dear religious forum...
Search of the Scriptures. | 8/16/2020 | PetroniusMaximus

Posted on 08/16/2020 5:15:56 PM PDT by PetroniusMaximus

Dear religious forum friend and sparring partners,

I want to tell you what the Lord has done for me in the past few weeks.

Up until 3 weeks ago I was a dead-asleep Christian. I had allowed addictive sins to grow in my heart. Rarely did I pray - but I loved to argue religion.

But about 3 weeks ago, (the only way I can describe it is that...) I was woken (nothing I did) from my years long, morphine-like "sin-comma".

As I started read the Scripture I became strongly convinced of two thing:

1. He appearance is very close - like at the door.

2. That it was time to thoroughly sweep my life and home clean of all sin (i.e. Leave). I am now in the trying to get rid of anything that made my conscience wince.

And I feel great!!!

I am here to tell you I feel like I have gotten hold of some extremely strong happy-juice. I feel like vitality is pouring back into my life. The weight of my bad conscience had turned my life into a gray drudgery.

And I'm just starting this process!!!

I come to encourage any of you, my friends who are as I was!!!

Arise!!! Arise!!! Arise!!! For your Light is Here!

The Father picked you for His Son and now He is about to present His Son with His chosen Bride. Jesus has waited 2,000 years to drink wine again on the Blessed coming Day. And within years, the nation of Israel will be exalted and will take her place as the footstool of His feet upon the earth. (Beware the false Christ who comes first.)

You can't wake yourself up, but you know you need to, ask Him to to wake you. Be persistent. Whatever you need is already your by virtue of Jesus' blood. It will buy you any spiritual gift or favor you need. Ask and believe.

I hope some find this of value. May our Kings Name praised. Jesus Christ, Lord and God, Life and Light.

_________________________

To those many that I owe an apology for previous rude and bad behavior. I sincerely apologize for any disrespect given. I'm trying my best to get right with as many folks as I can. If I have offended you, please freepmail me.

For some “the end” may be within the next second. God controls our very next breath. Just be ready! No date setting here . . .but we are to watch for the signs.
(1 Thessalonians 2-4 The Day of the Lord) 2For you are fully aware that the Day of the Lord will come like a thief in the night. 3While people are saying, “Peace and security,” destruction will come upon them suddenly, like labor pains on a pregnant woman, and they will not escape. 4But you, brothers, are not in the darkness so that this day should overtake you like a thief.

Your post is what many hope and pray would happen to them, myself included. I’ve been praying for the Lord to help me get rid of besetting sins and refill my spiritual life with His vitality. God bless you as you continue on in Him, and say a pray that many of us would follow in your footsteps.

I'm not big on religion threads, but this comment really struck home for me. So true.

I was listening to a Bible teacher, JD Farag, and he was commenting on this passage:

2nd Thessalonians 2:3, "Let no man deceive you by any means, for that day shall not come, except there come a departing first, and that the man of sin be disclosed, even the son of perdition"

He said that almost every Bible translation prior to the King James renders the Greek word "apostasia" as "departed," but everything starting with the King James renders it "falling away" which renders that passage very differently.

Food for thought...

The Song Remains the Same
Led Zeppelin

I had a dream
Oh, yeah
Crazy dream, uh-huh
Anything I wanted to know
Any place I needed to go
Hear my song
Yeah, people don’t you listen now?
Sing along
Oh
You don’t know what you’re missing, now
Any little song that you know
Everything that’s small has to grow
And it’s gonna grow, push push, yeah
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, California sunlight
Sweet Calcutta rain
Honolulu starbright
The song remains the same
Ooh, ooh, oh, oh
Here we go, here we go
All you gotta do, now
All you gotta do, now
Ooh-ee
Sing out Hare-Hare
Ooh, dance the Hoochie-Koo
City lights are oh so bright, as we go sliding, sliding
Sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding, sliding
Oh

...to be a rock and not to roll...Stairway to Heaven...Led Zeppelin
