| Re: Simplicity | | Good words to ponder, Approved.
These two scriptures, each with the word simplicity in them give further "food" for thought.
2Co 1:12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of our conscience, that in simplicity and godly sincerity, not with fleshly wisdom, but by the grace of God, we have had our conversation in the world, and more abundantly to you-ward.
2Co 11:3 But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

| Re: | | Dear Approved,
I could feel your heart as I read your post. The very essence of everything we are, everything we should be, everything we can be, is to know Him, and to make Him known. The presence of God, the manifest beautiful presence and power of the living God coursing through us, filling us with who He is and with His love, making our heart burn within us. I love what you said and I know what you mean.......
'Oh to be stupid again, where it was just Jesus and me."
Now that brother, is getting back to the heart of Jesus. And I will second your last thoughts from a hymn that I love ........
"Oh what fellowship, Oh what peace divine leaning on the everlasting arms.Leaning, leaning, safe and secure from all alarms, leaning, leaning, leaning on the everlasting arms."

| Re: | | Jesus, there is power in the name of Jesus. I'm enjoying reading all of your encouraging and edifying posts here.
Jesus is the only One who can make a grown man cry. He can make the blackest sheep as white as snow. I used to cringe at the sound of His name or the sign of His cross until I came to know Him. Now, I only long and hunger to know Him more, to sit at His feet, to rest in Him, to reveal the areas in my heart that grieve Him, to be lost in His love. The all consuming fire. To be the apple of His eye. Precious and chosen. Holy and sanctified. Set apart.
I tried losing my faith last year after months in the wilderness, but He's a part of me now. I can't shake Him even if I tried. He's reshaped my whole way of thinking, He's the only one I can turn to, pray to, talk with and rely upon. As Psalm 73:25 says, "Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee." |

the gosple incarnet he is the revalation of the manifest presence of the mercy and love of the invisable god with whom there is no variation or shadow when he turns
who him self ,becasue of who he is ,brings supanatural revalation of gods presencce and purpose
faith repentance hope and the greastest of all love which for me incapulates all the above in a triunity ,which reflects who god is ,
and this he impresess upon the sons of adam ,,the men of dust ,so they might reflect the true image of god ,as creatures like us were intended
he upholds all things by the word of his power and in him do all things consists ,and are sustained
he is utterely souvern ,over all,,that is IN HIM
and is the determining factor,of all life nothing can escape in incapulating grip of the mighty god ,who grips all things ,yet gives a measuer of free will to all according to his god pleasure
the one in three,and three in one the begining and the end,from the end to the beggining
he knows all things and all things he knows
in describable and incomrehensable
the giver of all life and every good gift
the maker of mercy the efecter of faith
he is utterly worthy of my praise ,,god help me
he is utterly worthy of prayer ,,god help me
he is utterly worthy of my love ,,,oh god help
the giver of all true wisdom
the one who gives ,and the one who takes away
i thank god that i dont get what i deserve namly hell
that is what every child of adam deserves , for childern of adam live accoring to the flesh ,
grace is what we dont deserve , and that is what every child of god receives ,underseved kindness ,and the power to over come sin in our lives ,
the great delemer of the gosple of god ,wile we were enemys of god christ died for us ,justafing us freely by his grace , wich is in the holy redemtion of christ ,,,,,the great propitation scacrafice god was in christ reconciling the world unto him self
jehova jira god will provide a scarfice god was manfest in the flesh justafied in the spirit great is the mystery of godliness that he was seen by angles preached amoung the gentiles believed on in the world and he was recieved up in glory a place he knew before the foundation of the world
he left is hevenly realms did the glory of god and humbled him self ,being born of a wowman , born under the law he laid down to redeem that who were under the law and those who were with out law ,so they might not perish with out the law
bringing both under the law of christ which he said this is the covernent i will make them in those days i will write my laws ,in there minds and there hearts and i will be there god and the shall be my childreen none shall teach his neibour ,saying no ye the lord for all of them shall no me from the least of them to the great and i will be mercyfull towards them ,and there lawless deeds ,i will remember no more i will pour out of my spirit in those days and they shall prophasice and i will show them wonders in the heavens above and sighn in the earth beneith blood fire vapour of smoke the sun shall be turned in to darkness and the moon into blood before the great and the notable day of the lord comes and it shall come to pass that all who call on the name of the lord shall be saved but how shall they call on him in whom they have not believed and how shall the believe in him whom they have not herd and how shall they hear with out a preacher
how beutafull are the feet of those who preach the gosple of peace
faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of god

| Re: | | Were you there when Jesus bled Before the cross, in sins were dead By your hand in Christ were led On to victory Nows the day and nows the hour Stand with Christ and stand in power Hes our Rock and strong High Tower Were free from slavery So will you come and fight the fight March in the day and not the night We will send them all to flight This will be our day Free men march and free men die And all proclaim our God on high His glory fills the earth and sky Come Lord soon we pray In glorious majesty He reigns Hes broken all our wretched chains On Calvary He took our pains And death has lost its sting Now Jesus come and take your place We lift our eyes, we see your face Our enemies we now give chase We serve our glorious King No longer slaves and dead in sin New life arises from within We sing to you a glorious hymn Of joy and victory We have arisen from the dead And follow you who died and bled And rose victoriously and said No more slavery Come now my children, come and see You once were chained but now are free Free to live and reign with me Its time to wield the sword Its the final day, the final hour Rain down thy presence, a glorious shower Its not by might nor any power But by My Spirit says the Lord |

| Re: | | The responses to the initial question "Can we talk about Jesus?" have been from the heart and all true fellowship is in Jesus Christ. Thank you all for sharing and making this post fruitful, because God's desire for all of us is that we would know Him and be conformed to the image and likeness of His Son.

I can relate to this post so much, I though you might be talking about me, or reading my mind. Thank you for posting this. Sometimes, just when we think were in this alone, and everyone else has moved on and living the Perfect, Purified, Holy, Sinless life, God through man reminds us we not alone. I am so Grateful someone brought this thread back to life, God placed it on my heart to start it, and every post here has Blessed me so much, as I am sure it has others. Thank you so much for keeping you eyes and minds and hearts focused on what brought us into this thread. And yes! there is power in the name of Jesus, To God be the Glory! _________________ Bill
