hey there

S says:

why Heb 3:!5?

Lil says:

err

Lil says:

as a reminder?

Lil says:

why?

S says:

oh. haha. just wondering

Lil says:

did i put up the wrong verse?

S says:

nono

Lil says:

actually have been pondering upon something

S says:

???

Lil says:

when the holy spirit prompts

Lil says:

how come some people can still go on and ignore the voice?

Lil says:

isn't that self deception?

S says:

or coldness to the HS? numbness?

hardness?

S says:

desire 4 sthing else stronger

Lil says:

yah that's what i thot

Lil says:

it's a very scary thing, come to think about it

S says:

yeah.

Lil says:

heart hardened to a stage that you can't even hear the voice of God

S says:

you know i was just thinking...

Lil says:

yah

S says:

while i dont feel or see myslef sliding away from God... often i think the ONLY way i can get to the end is His grace and His grace alone.

S says:

no way there is strength and heart enough to do it otherwise

S says:

i guess that's biblical huh

S says:

just that i feel it so real. like i'm going strong now.. but... to think of the future, what God's plans and will is... wow.... impossible by me.

Lil says:

what you said is true

Lil says:

I suppose the only thing I can do is to learn to respond to God always

Lil says:

really need humility

Lil says:

 Don't need to wait until it's a "big" or obvious sin to repent

Lil says:

let HS search our heart then we'll realize how many flaws and ugly attitudes there are

S says:

yeah.

S says:

i think the desires for other things are the biggest downfall. even though people might be willing to give it to God. it doesnt go away.

Lil says:

or self-will

S says:

like a thorn in the flesh we just have to struggle wiht

Lil says:

it's always between His way and my way

S says:

yeah.

S says:

but u know what i mean?...

Lil says:

ah!!

Lil says:

yah

S says:

a willing heart will choose His way... but still struggle

S says:

with the desire

Lil says:

i realize something

Lil says:

the reason that we struggle is because

Lil says:

we still operate in our fleshly realm where we see things with our emotions and minds

Lil says:

to trust God requires us to move into the unseen realm

S says:

yeah

Lil says:

it's beyond what our emotions tell us

S says:

yeah... FAITH huh

Lil says:

yah

S says:

true true true

Lil says:

our senses in FAITH need to be different

Lil says:

and Heb 12

Lil says:

all those one who had faith even though they didn't see God's promises come to pass.

Lil says:

because they  saw it happen in their spirit, in their trust in God

Lil says:

even though physically they didn't get to experience it

S says:

yeah

S says:

true.

 

God spoke to me as I opened my eyes this morning. He reminded me of the things He's promised for this year. He reminded me the kind of faith He desires to see in me.

 

I've been caught up with many issues, though I'm supposed to "enjoy" my holidays. It wasn't the food or the shopping that I'd been thinking about, (thanks to the n&v) my mind has been on the ones far away.

 

But God said that His will will come to pass though there have been and will be many STUMBLING BLOCKS.

 

I'm comforted to hear this, that He knows all situations, and to know that I am on the right track.

 

Then I got the sms that said one of the leaders had to go to A&E for test. I prayed and felt the peace of God. I felt that the Lord wanted him to know that He is with him.

 

Then I remembered the dream I had last night. (I did ask God a couple of nights before for Him to speak to me in dreams regarding the situation) In the leaders meeting, the visitor became strange and seemed to turn to be a different person all together. I prayed for this brother. But i still don't know what happened there. I'm concerned. That seems like a warning to me.

I pray I will not be the only one that discerns it if it really happens. Another person in the dream saw that too. I desperately don't want this to happen!!

 

Afterall, I committed the above and all sheep issues to God. Although I'm very concerned, His spirit lifted me up and gave me courage to fight!!

 

 

 

 

 

God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble...that's the probably the first thing we think of when asked God's reaction to pride...

 

Have you come across this in the bible?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Pride is not a weakness, but a sin that hurts the very heart of God.........is there anyone that will bother His feeling?

Lord help me to hate and detest my own pride. Let godly sorrow bring repentence.....
