2012 - Christian Random Thoughts Thread

Thankful to be alive to see the 1st day of a new month. Grateful for another chance to live in purpose.
 
i sometimes tend to take harsh comments about christianity/christians to heart, because it's just sad that so many people have been hurt.

i also know it's the enemy's way of tricking people away from the faith.

-sigh-

There will always be people who will make harsh comments about Christianity/Christians. They did it when Jesus walked the earth and they did it with the first church.

Jesus says that if they persecuted Him, they will persecute us as well.
Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master.' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also (John 15:20).

Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you (Matthew 5:10-12).
People will see Jesus crack the clouds, in all His Glory, and they still will deny Him as Lord.

Today's message ended a series. It really made me think. We go through phases that go through questions. Why,when and finally what. The why stops us from moving,when shows are impatience but we slowly move and lastly what can be the most liberating because we can finally move and not be married to a outcome. What will make us ask what do you want God?

What we think is how we will feel. Circumstances may remain the same but what we think can change a situation in a profound way. If I lose my job then great if I keep it great. I know that the root issue of everything is lack of trust in God. I don't believe he can't but if he will. I don't feel deserving I can't get the christian lingo or actions right. I am hard around the edges and still feel emotions of anger and sadness at times. I have never spoken in tongues and still am confused if I ran around a church due to boredom or Spirit filled run. But if I look back God has carried me through many things even dark things so I will be grateful for that and let everything be placed in his hands.

I know...:love3: This is why I do what I do because I want to help people understand the truth too. It's hard when they reject Christ. My love for people and where they will spend eternity runs deep...really deep. I love people so much.....:love2:
 
How can one love people when people can be the most vindictive things on earth? I know the word says if we have no love we have nothing. I want to be able to love all not some. I have compassion for some not all. Children and the mentally ill are on the top of my list of love. I guess since I'm unloved by most people I love those who are forgotten or labeled.

Here as of late I have had this urge to listen to various sermons and even the thought came of going to a physical church but the idea makes my flesh crawl. My experiences in a church aren't the best but the one I so desire to be in may be a while before I can attend. The only thing I desire is to hear the word and move as being in a church is unnatural to me even though I want fellowship,fellowship has been way too taxing and dangerous.

Because Jesus died for them. He thought enough of them to lay down His life and LOVE them while shedding His blood...and if I say He lives in me, I too must love them the way He does.

Let your love affirmations come from the Father....He has so much love to give to you. Once you do that, you won't even miss the sometimey love of mankind...the love that will be in your heart will pour out on others...even the unlovely.

:love2:
 
It is good to make a study of the Word and understand it. But it becomes real to us and others when we do it. People observe us to find out if we are really who we say we are. It doesn't mean we will do everything right, but the real you always comes out even if you try to hide it.

Limitations are not placed on God if we are not willing to be doers of the Word.
 
But thanks be to God, Who gives us the victory [making us conquerors] through our Lord Jesus Christ.

God wants us to live in victory and not just recite cute sayings. Victory is available to us. Don't ever live underneath your privileges as God's child nor explain away why God's Word has not manifested the way it should after set time frame. Plus, God will help us and give us an action plan for victory. God's children are never failures.

Another day to participate in making God's will be enforced on heaven and chance at this thing called "life."

Moses built an altar and named it “The LORD Gives Me Victory.”
 
“Blessed is the man Who walks not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stands in the path of sinners, nor sits in the seat of the scornful;” Psalm 1:1

“Moreover you shall select from all the people able men, such as fear God, men of truth, hating covetousness; and place such over them to be rulers of thousands, rulers of hundreds, rulers of fifties, and rulers of tens.” Exodus 18:21

“He who rules over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God. ” 2 Samuel 23:3
 
Our Rock says, "He that ruleth over men must be just, ruling in the fear of God" II Samuel 23:3 (KJV).


should I continue to 'help' the wicked to rule over me?
 
Encouraging myself today... :)

Gal 6:9 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

Thanks for this word Laela,

It is right on time!

Doing good never involves doing things that are dishonorable or bring shame on the body of Christ. We have to be honest with ourselves. Good never harms others and endangers others. God doesn't work in chaos.

Furthermore, it never harms someone who never did anything to you.God is never in such works.

Happy that something has been resolved and I can move on. Happy to dig deeper in what makes me me. I don't want to hide behind Christianity anymore. I don't want to be this staunch christian who has no personality,who is extra critical and stagnant. I'm thankful God has kept me even though I don't feel it. I can't go based of feelings since they change with the wind. Hoping to finally embrace me flaws and all.
