Just who do you think you are hiding from? You can only fool people for so long before the jig is up. You are not even hiding from yourself, the spirit inside testifies to this ! & Above all you are not hiding from God for as you are in pain he longs to be your deliverer !. Stop hiding & come to the one who came to , heal the broken hearted the bruised & the wounded. I know what i am talking about , i used to be all 3 of these. Now i have THE 3 the FATHER, the SON, & the HOLY SPIRIT . Come to HIM, all you who are weary and burdened, and HE will give you rest.

If you are living and doing the same things you were doing when you first found Christ ask yourself what has changed? If you are doing the same things ask yourself why because you MUST take off the OLD Man and put on THE NEW. You must not have the old nature and Claim to be representing CHRIST This is not real check yourself ,been there done that . It does not work instead put all you have into seeking CHRIST than there is no time to entertain SELF and it's passions and desires .
It is self inventory time

To try to win a soul for Christ by keeping that soul in ignorance of any truth, is contrary to the mind of the Spirit; and to endeavor to save men by mere claptrap, or excitement, or oratorical display, is as foolish as to hope to hold an angel with bird-lime, or lure a star with music. The best attraction is the gospel in its purity. The weapon with which the Lord conquers men is the truth as it is in Jesus.
"Charles Spurgeon"
___________________________________________________________
regeneration is that man in his fallen nature consists only of body and soul, and that when he is "born again" there is created in him a new and higher nature—"the spirit"—which is a spark from the everlasting fire of God's life and love; this falls into the heart, and abides there, and makes its receiver a partaker of the divine nature." Thenceforward, the man consists of three parts, body, soul, and spirit, and the spirit is the reigning power of the three. Charles Spurgeon
I replaced the word "regenerated" with born again because that is what it really means.
___________________________________________________________
How have we so reduced The Gospel to muttering a prayer and proclaiming one saved . Man does not even have the authority to proclaimed one saved or born again ,yet the church does this despicable practice every Sunday . Being born again is a Supernatural work of the Holy Spirit and the evidence will be the fruit they bare and the changed lifestyle. There is no such thing as a "carnal Christian" This is a oxymoron . A person can not live in a continuous carnal state after supposedly taking Christ as Savior , to do so is to blaspheme God and the Holy spirit. When a person is truly born again they may in the beginning be very much carnal but a continuous work of the Holy Spirit will gradually begin to give them a new nature if this is not the case with you Christian be very afraid !!

Parents life is short so do what God has called you to do Raise your children or some one else or something else will Play with your children they will only ask so many times before they stop asking They will find some one else or something else to play with

There is no such thing as Hidden Sin Only sin that MUST BE MASTERED and CONQUERED No matter how deep the struggle Sin MUST be MASTERED & CONQUERED NEVER HIDDEN
___________________________________________________________
The Atheist is correct in the aspect of logic The problem with logic is God is not interested in anyone's logic Our highest thought we might ever have is but dung compared to Gods INFAMOUS WISDOM The creator of ALL THINGS
___________________________________________________________
All atheism really stands for is Man choosing to ignore the laws God has written on his or her heart So as to not to have to submit to them
___________________________________________________________
God will have ALL the Glory because he deserves ALL the GLORY God will have ALL the Glory or NONE at all The glory YOU want for yourself is not glory at all only SELFISHNESS For what do you have that has not been given to you by the Giver of All things ALL Glory all Honor not only belongs to God But ALL Glory & Honor is Gods
___________________________________________________________
Human nature, in some aspects, is an awful thing; but when the Lord Jesus Christ took it, and joined His own divine nature to it, He made a grand thing of it, and human nature is a noble thing when it is united to the Lord Jesus Christ.
"CHARLES SPURGEON"

With out Christ indwelling in my whole being I am nothing more than a wretched sinner . But as the HOLY ONE incarnated in me and cleansed me I am becoming all the more holy and righteous
___________________________________________________________
Love those around you , extend grace Walk humble in and out of the sight of men and woman Stop talking about Jesus & be like JESUS Do not only tell but SHOW
___________________________________________________________
We all have a deep inner sense of the divine in all of us Placed there as a spark. This spark is waiting to be ignited into a burning light An ALL consuming fire to shine before ALL As proof of the Most High God

You can teach your children so many things But if you have not First and Foremost taught them THE FEAR OF THE LORD They Shall NOT have the WISDOM to uphold ANYTHING you have or will teach them
___________________________________________________________
Fathers & Husbands love to boast about the headship and their great role in the family Forget not that you also have a headship over you Be very mindful of this Boast not in your own headship But boast in Only the ONE who has headship over you
___________________________________________________________
You need to realize it does not matter what you think Because it is not about what you think AT ALL IN FACT That is the problem It is not what you think but what does THE WORD OF GOD SAY
___________________________________________________________
Walking by Faith is to DO Not to sit and wait
___________________________________________________________
If people read their bibles There would not be a need for a bracelet or t - shirt Asking what would Jesus Do? Because they would KNOW what Jesus would do Because the Bible tells us what Jesus would do The reason you do not know is because you do study the word of God
___________________________________________________________
Jesus calls us to bare Good FRUIT So others may see HIM Through US IF The only fruit you are baring Is in farm-ville God is not pleased ___________________________________________________________
Any Time spent in self pity Is time lost Because that time could be spent getting your dignity back Because you have absolutely NO dignity or respect while having Pity on Self
___________________________________________________________
Do you want to be great? If you truly want to be great than become the least of men & woman and Serve
___________________________________________________________
Husbands you may be CALLED to assume headship over your wife and children But Do Not Forget that you are also CALLED to be the FIRST to SACRIFICE ___________________________________________________________
So many people really do not want to get better Because their INTENTION is not to get better at all But to simply get by
___________________________________________________________
Turning AWAY from the sin in your life is the HARD thing to do.( the narrow path) Turning TOWARD the sins of our fleshly desires is very EASY to do. Turning TOWARDS the sinful flesh of lust ,greed,pride the touch & taste of sin so enticing Pleasures pleasurable sin Feeding engulfing sin down mindless Careless in the BEGINNING Always fulfilling our flesh to the point of EMPTY (wide path)
___________________________________________________________
Victory over one particular sin is to wage war against the unseen. A maddening struggle Unseen but felt on so many levels internally in the soul, intertwining mingling with the spirit. Fiercely fought in the mental. Producing battle scars & wounds as reminders of the many battles before the ultimate victory of the war. Raging hurricane force tears falling just before the calm & peace after the realization of the grace that sustained you that was only really noticeable after the dust has settled
