Being religious makes you a Christian like being in a garage makes you a car. I heard this line an had to share it.

Joyce Myer ? Sound familiar good stuff

Some guy on TBN last night. I can't remember his name. He may have got the quote from her or she from him. I liked the quote and thought you would like it.

Psalm 121:1-2

I lift up my eyes to the hills-- where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.

I heard this on a song that I downloaded on my iPhone. Then I just read in in Psalms. I didn't know it was from the Bible tho.

This passage made me think of this site

Proverbs 27:17

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another.

Phillipians 4:6-9

1 Thessalonians 5:17

When the Holy Spirit of God convicts
You Must Respond Promptly to its newly Revealed Truth
Excepting the Truth & Operating in this Truth are Key
Failing to Respond to the Holy Spirits Conviction Promptly
Will only lead to further sorrow in one's mind body & soul
But more Importantly Grieving the very Heart of God

____________________________________________________________

I just heard this at my recovery class , thought it was pretty powerful .

Just wanted to share

"IF I am not constantly working on my recovery
Than I am working towards my relapse"

____________________________________________________________

In order to Obey the Holy Spirit when it Convicts
One Must come into Agreement with Truth
If there is no Agreement Change will not come &
Sorrow Will continue because of
The Rejection of Truth

____________________________________________________________


Adjust your life to Conform to Truth
In order to be Reconciled & at Peace with God
For Deceit is Hostile towards God
The most common Deceit is the deception of self
You must respond to Truth with Obedience
For thinking about it & Doing are separate matters


____________________________________________________________

To feel as if God expects to much of you
Is Opportunity for planned personal Growth
The question is will you Cower away or Grow?

____________________________________________________________

Everyone believes in evil
The Problem we face is Knowing
What to do with it when it shows itself
If you Choose to do Nothing
Evil becomes your God

____________________________________________________________

Pride is a Wall
Built by your Own hands
IT Separates you from God

____________________________________________________________


Pride Exalts itself Above
The Wisdom of The Most High God
The Fall is Severe & usually Swift

____________________________________________________________

Anger Clouds Judgement
&
Skews
The Ability
To
Choose
A Rational course

____________________________________________________________

Deception of self
Is the Continued Denial of Truth
Living in this state
Is only Ensuring GROWTH
Can Not
&
Will Not Occur

____________________________________________________________

Learn this
Truth is a person
For Jesus said " I Am the Truth"
So when Truth from the Spirit of God is revealed
You should know walking With Truth in Truth
Is walking hand in hand
With THE MASTER

____________________________________________________________

Having a relationship with Truth
Is having a relationship with CHRIST
This far outweighs having a relationship with
The evil one who is by nature a liar & deceiver

____________________________________________________________

The Spirit of God speaks with information that can save our souls
It speaks not in our native language but in tones that are so
Peaceful & so direct you know it could not of come from anywhere else

____________________________________________________________

We MUST learn to Conform our lives around
The Word of God
When Truth is Revealed
There Has to be an Action to rearrange our lives around
This newly revealed Truth
Otherwise whats the point

____________________________________________________________

If you are having a one way conversation with God
You are Not listening
Only talking
For it is a two way Fellowship
Are you listening ?

____________________________________________________________

Denying self will Lead you to greater & greater
Manifestations of God working Through you
When you are in the way
There is no room for Almighty God to work
SO GET OUT OF THE WAY

____________________________________________________________

Will you do what you want to do?
Or
Adjust your life to what God wants to do
Because HE will far outdo out shine & out perform
Whatever your plans are
His plans are Greater The choice is easy
Why fight it

____________________________________________________________

Do not work out of the senses
continue to work out of the Spirit
and from that you will reap the benefits
that come from doing that
Bearing fruit is a must for Christians
Because sometimes others have to eat from your fruit because they have none
They are not connected to THE VINE so they can not bear fruit of their own
So let them eat from your fruit because we are to bear the infinities of the weak

____________________________________________________________

Anyone in an abusive relationship
Needs to understand God has better for you
Put your Trust in God not your senses
Your sense tell you that you have to stay
But putting your Faith in God not your senses will reveal
He has much much more for you than you could ever imagine

____________________________________________________________

Do Not put Faith in limited man
Put Faith in The Limitless God
For we are limited in our flesh
We can only do so much
But God is Limitless
Do not restrain God in your life

____________________________________________________________

I need God ability not my own
Because my ability is limited
Gods ability working through me is Limitless

____________________________________________________________

EVERYTHING we have endured in this life
Is Nothing compared to the Kingdom of God
Every hardship can be used to Glorify the King
For he has surely brought me out of the very depths of Hell
He delivered me from Self


____________________________________________________________

Although we ALL have fallen short of The Glory of God
Has HE not Redeemed us & Justified us to walk upright
As a child of The Most High God ?
Even though we are yet sinners we are Forgiven
Therefore shame & guilt have NO place in our lives
But know this when we do sin Purification & Satisfaction Must be done

____________________________________________________________

Realize if you think your family is dysfunctional
And your life is not what it could and should be because of this
All the members of your family have a similar background
You are Not as unique as you think
Stop & Realize if your life is dysfunctional than they had a dysfunctional life to
Although life was dysfunctional you can choose to Forgive and break the cycle
Do not use this as an Excuse to keep living in a revolving door

____________________________________________________________

Demons flood the bodies influencing the flesh
bringing forth madness & struggles raging against The Spirit of Truth
Skewing Judgment
Arguments to be made & weighed
The scale must be tipped unto Righteousness
This is War

____________________________________________________________

you are Not going to make it out there on your own the world will chew you up and spit you out

____________________________________________________________

Do not love The man
Love the God who works through the man
Do not worship man
But Worship The God who works through the man

____________________________________________________________

Walking with Christ is far different than walking in the flesh
Can people tell the difference ?
Self inventory time
Examine your life & see if you are doing YOUR will
Does you life Align with Gods will or does it Align with your own will?
IF your are NOT GrOwING than you are stagnant & if you are stagnant
The living water is not flowing in you therefore you might just be a stinky filthy mess

____________________________________________________________

With out the continual washing of the spirit cleansing you
You will become as the world is
You must eat from the bread of Life just as you nourish your body with food
Otherwise you are eating from the world & its fruit which will be cut down
Thrown into the fire

____________________________________________________________

Do Not merely live your life according to what you have been taught
Do Not merely take peoples word for it
Dive into the word of God to see for yourself what Thus saith The LORD
Not others interpretations Let the Holy Spirit of God REVEAL TRUTH
Let the Spirit of God within you teach you not just what others say
Do you no because someone told you? or do you no because The Spirit Revealed it ?




____________________________________________________________


people never get to experience the big things of God because they do not acknowledge the little things he does everyday

It is never too late to be who you might have been
