be very sure, be very sure your anchor holds and grips the solid rock.
...and I hope you stay encouraged indeed. Happens to the best of all of us when we try to present our best -- not to appear perfect but in efforts to GIVE our best. So mistakes are a great development tool as well.
Yesterday is gone, tomorrow may never come, today is yours. One of my favorite sayings when mistakes are made:
"Move right along; leave left, behind"
Happy New Year...
Yesterday I was feeling down and to be honest I wanted to camp out there and just 'feel', though I didn't want to abandon my walk I wanted to languish in those feelings for a while which I'm sure would have ultimately brought on depression...
As I lay down last night reading a book with the TV turned onto a gospel channel, I heard a preacher saying that we can not let our emotions dictate to us but as born again Christians we must be lead by Holy Spirit and then he said: 'I can't give up, I can't quit, I can't surrender, I must go forward'...So I'm like Lord, I don't want to do any of those things, I began to realize that not moving or being stagnant is just as bad as giving up, quitting and surrendering ...
Even while I'm typing this the Lord is giving me revelation, overtime when water is stagnant or just 'sitting' there's a stench from deadness (sin).
Stagnant means:
1. Not moving or flowing; motionless.
2. Foul or stale from standing: stagnant ponds.
3.
a. Showing little or no sign of activity or advancement; not developing or progressing; inactive: a stagnant economy.
b. Lacking vitality or briskness; sluggish or dull: a stagnant mind.
or:
1. (of water, etc.) standing still; without flow or current
2. brackish and foul from standing still
3. stale, sluggish, or dull from inaction
4. not growing or developing; static
Any one of these things is bad spritually and collectively can be a detrimental stunt in growth to our spiritual development and can also kill us spiritually.
I encourage you today as I encourage myself; don't quit, don't give up or surrender don't STOP, just keep it moving.
A lukewarm christian is one that serves God and the world; that halts between two opinions, and knows not which religion is best, and cares little for any, yet keeps in a round of duty, though indifferent to it, and contents himself with it; and is unconcerned about the life and power of godliness, and takes up with the external form of it; and has no thought about the glory of God, the interest of Christ and truth.
The bolded was the word that was given at church yesterday!!!Yesterday I was feeling down and to be honest I wanted to camp out there and just 'feel', though I didn't want to abandon my walk I wanted to languish in those feelings for a while which I'm sure would have ultimately brought on depression...

Sang this song in church yesterday....were you there? Girl...you are saying something, for real!!!God never speaks about going back, he only speaks about going forward..
I can't give up,
I can't quit,
I can't go back,
I can't surrender,
I must go forward to be victorious
Some need to stop with one foot in Christianity and one foot in the enemy's camp. That's called being a lukewarm christian.
So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. Revelation 3:16
Yeah, and Jesus got something for him too.....:hardslap:1 Peter 4:17-18 KJV
For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? [18] And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
Its definitely time out for being halt between 2 opinions. The devil is coming hard and strong with his agenda.

Yes, perhaps....^^ yes, that's a powerful message..... Perhaps the Lord God Almighty will have mercy
on the remnant of Joseph.
LongTimeComing, I had to write this down so that I can meditate on this!Lord, sharpen my eyes to see Your vision.
I have been meditating on Eccl during my fast. The Lord is speaking.......Meditating on Eccl 1:12-14 today....
I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem. And I set my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be exercised. I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.
Yes, yes, yes!!!@Nice & Wavy, lady that's my jam...
Victory that's my name...
I know my Identity my name is Victory!
