I seem to be unable to reply to the previous thread. No reply button there...is there a reason for that? I need to clarify something Brother George, i was not asking how i know i am saved....I know i am saved, Praise The Lord!! and i know in whom i believeth!! and i know my Redeemer Lives!! Amen!! Dear Brother, that was not the point of my post, i was simply asking a question and then i was attempting to answer it in light of what i have exerienced arorund me. Therefore asking for discussion.... The point i was trying to make is that people are indeed sent horrendous amounts of suffering....and they do bear it, but as i said, they do so either by fully relying on God or by relying on self/ and or false gods....So perhaps saying we'll not be sent more than we can bare should be looked at in a deeper context, not so glibly said. Suffering is a dreadful burden but one made light by having the saving grace of Christ......as a person who has suffered, i know this to be true and i was simply sharing this with you all here. It is sometimes easy to give a passing scripture, to say a passing prayer....but those suffering? they need our constant support in their time of trials. We need to draw close to them. In spirit if not in physical presence.
As for a 'peace' about being in Gods will....i meant more there too....that we will get peace sometimes even if we are not in Gods will because it is what we want...so we may convince ourselves, decieve ourselves...and we are good at that!! the only true way is to return and stand on the Word, then we will see if our actions, our plans are indeed in the will of God. I have had peace in the past over things, that certainley were nhot in His will, i simply 'convinced' myself, they were. The heart of man is capable of such things. We need to be on guard. Brother
George, thank you for replying to me on the Sabbath. I was home from Kirk, my life here is backwards to you all there! ....and was having some time in your ministry before bed.
It is tough being so far away over here, i feel like an outsider to this forum sometimes....which i know is not true, it is not your intent i know .....but i suppose i am just on another continent!! and it can be hard to share with someone 'over there'. Perhaps if i make motre of an effort, you'll all get to know me better? we can communicate more? I'd like that. I draw great strength from your teachings on this site and your stance for the Word. It is therefore reaching people here....you cannot imagine and i cannot say very much but believe me, your sirte impacts the lost here very much indeed. Praise Him!
Thank you Bothers & Sisters,
Blessings, In His Name,
