A Glimpse Into my Soul & Spirit

Pupil of Patiencism: Feel Like God is Moving Like a Snail in Your Situation?

by

Yeah, I made up that word, but I thought it worked with this piece. I’ve heard people joke about how God can take a long time to do things. As a child, I just listened and didn’t really think about it. But now that I’m older, I look over my life (so far), and I must say that sometimes (from my human perspective) it seems like God can be slow at times. I do not confine God to ‘time’ (as He is an eternal being). I know He created time for this dimension. But I also know He understands my human perspective.

I have noticed that some things take time to come to fruition. Sometimes, my paths get block. God allows distractions. I get frustrated. I get impatient, and after a few months or a year, I don’t want to do the things at all and wanna give up. I know at times this is just satan and his minions trying to stop me. And sometimes, God may be saying, “I did put this on your heart, but I didn’t tell you to go that way or to act now.”

I feel as if He shouldn’t put things on my heart I can’t do right away. Of course, I believe He said these things will come to pass in my lifetime. So I think, man, is this gonna happen when I’m 70? I guess that might be the case.

And, sometimes, I pray to God to help me understand something I don’t get, and he doesn’t answer right away.

I’ve realized that sometimes we’re just not ready for some answers or events until we experience certain things in life. Sometimes, we don’t understand something because we have not done a disciplined study of the Word. Your answer may be the problem or distraction. Perhaps it is how you act while waiting. He may also want to teach you to be patient and wait for instruction and direction. If He tells you one step, do it, and wait for the next.

I must admit His timing seems to be right. If I had just done some things, I would of messed them up because I wasn’t ready. Some of the distractions and problems prepared me for what He wanted me to do. Sometimes, I was just impatient and wanted things to happen immediately, so I followed my own plan. And, I do seem to understand things better by and by (as the hymn says). Well, it’s all for the Body of Christ, and that’s what really matters, right?

Illuminating Manifesto: De-Programming from Man-made Brainwashing

by

were all just numbers

There has been talk about beauty lies and other issues. I found these posts useful, and I have something I want to say or resay to fellow Christians. Some things are on my heart, and I am going to share a few things with you.

Over the years, I’ve talked to many professed Christians, and some are heavily brainwashed. I used to think some of the same things before G-d started this continual de-programming process with me. But, this happens naturally. No matter how spiritually smart you think you are, you’ll get influenced or tricked one way or another. This is why Christ made sure every local assembly had many backup plans to help people stay on the right path, though nobody follows his instructions.

People seem to be conditioned by the culture, the secular government, the families they come from, and man-made religion. They have allowed the world or traditions to cloud their minds.

Once we let go of what others say, or we de-program, we can move freely in Christ. We can soar like eagles and go where God wants us to go. Without this, we become enslaved to man’s ways or what is currently “normal.” I know God wants to do mighty things with His ekklesia, but we do have free will; instead of sacrificing it for God’s desires, sometimes, we follow others or ourselves.

Christian Mending: Should I Judge a Fellow Christian?

by

Most Christians know we should not judge the world’s actions (1 Corinthians 5:12-13), but what about fellow followers? Some followers of Christ think you should not attempt to Biblically correct Christians whose actions contradict the Bible. Most people who believe this use:

 Judge not, that ye be not judged.  Matthew 7:1 

Unfortunately, this verse has been manipulated. This manipulation allows Christians who are doing their own thing to keep doing so—without anyone questioning their actions.

We must handle the Word properly. You should not approach someone with the wrong motives or heart or when you are knowingly living in sin yourself. Also, you should not judge a Christian and blatantly say the person is going to hell for what they are doing, as you do not know the person’s ultimate path in Christ. Your intent should be to bring about repentance and to correct him or her in Love.
