You've got it sister. Thank you for the beautiful report of His precious working through you, our Christ and King.

Praying for continued victory in this and for us all as we continue to trust and obey.

Praise you Jesus. Praise and Glory for your work in us, for us and for YOUR GLORY.

I love you Lord.
WE Love You Lord!
The Heaven Bound Glory in You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Amen dyingtolive! Amen and Hallelujah!

My faith is increased as the Lord does the work in me at the same time working on others.

It is by our love they will know we are Christians. Christ's love is not condoning sin at at all but coming back with a soft answer, turning the other cheek, loving those who persecute us and say all sorts of mean things to us and about us.

A very hard thing to do and pretty much impossible without the Holy Spirit's working in us. In time in His Presence, alone with Him. Quiet before Him in His Word. Getting filled up with Him. Then He can do these things through us. And then we know for certain it is Him and not us then He gets all the glory and honor!

But once we see the Holy Spirit work as we get out of His way it is addicting. It makes me strive to stay close to Him so I dont hinder His work. So I can hear Him tell me, dont say a thing, or it's time to leave, time to say this or not. And watch Him work is a most beautiful thing. In others and in me.

Of course I dont have it down perfectly at all. My nature wants to say this and that. It wants to tell all I know so they will become saved, sanctified and filled with the Holy Spirit. All good things but if it is not His timing I can really mess things up.

Jesus is my number one example. We are followers of Him. He is our example. The persecuted are my teachers also. How can the one persecuting come to know Christ if the man being persecuted is cursing his persecutor? He wont. But by the love of the one being persecuted many, many have had hearts melted and have surrendered to Christ and at times this will lead to their family members and at times a whole village will come to know Jesus as Savior! All glory to God.

So with this the Holy Spirit is having me concentrate on Jesus as my example and continue in prayer and fasting and in the Word and to be filled up with Him as to be able to turn the other cheek, come back with a soft answer when getting yelled at or falsely accused. Praise God I have a place where I can be alone with Him and spend more time with Him than with people. I dont think I could do it without that precious time with my mind and heart on Him - alone with Him.

So, we are addicted to Him, to God's working in us in others. The battle is the Lord's and we will not trust in horses and chariots but we will trust in the Name of the Lord our God!

I would suggest to see here on this forum more testimonies of victories, more testimonies of what God is doing in our lives, in those around us & more of what Scriptures the Holy Spirit spoke to us during our time with Him than all the trivial debating. Kind of think it would please the Lord too that He is being lifted up and others would be more edified. Just a thought.

God's love to all. He will finish the good work He began in us. Especially when we get out of the way and believe, obey & trust Him.

AMEN, Joyful Heart

Thank-you for the beautiful testimony.
I relate to everything you are saying about staying out of the Holy Spirits way and how it is addicting.
I wanted to and did share a beautiful testimony of the Holy Spirit cont. work in our family but accidentally hit cancel, such a bummer.
I'll try to post again but it won't be as good for I was so caught up in the Spirit after a long day away from home but will try.
It was long. On solar and today was a high juice use day, ha. A positive thing about going through the change is insomnia. Our God is a Prayer loving Prayer anwering God. John R. Rice , I believe. Time to pray God's love, sister -k-

Going through what I am going through I have so very encouraged by your testimony, Christ can do all things! We just have to give Him time and space to do so. My heart is at times filled with peace and and surrender and then when I feel discouraged the thoughts of doubt creep in. I was broken this morning and the Lord revealed Himself to me in even more wonderful light. I found its much easier to call yourself a Christian, it's a whole other ballgame when it comes to living like one totally dependant on Christ Jesus.

Sheri,

Thank you so much for sharing this encouraging testimony
With us. Many of us have unsaved loved ones, and through
Prayer and intercession God can do what we can't do and
Change the hardest heart. Nothing is impossible to God and
To those that believe.

Mike
