one may come to a place, where compromising is not an option.:boxing:
There are those who truely follow(obey the word of the lord)
God has obedient children, as well as disobedient children.
It's possible an individual can come 2 themselves and realize, there is nothing greater than counting up the cost and worshipping the Lord in spirit and in truth.
Worship is a lifestyle, not only the act.:winksmile:
Jude 1:24-The lord is able to keep us from falling, (If) we want to be kept.
The Lord is an complete gentleman, and he never bogards his way in.
That how he knows who loves him, because we're those obedient ones who love & accept him gladly:bow:.
We Obey, & if/when we fall, he there to help us get up & cont. our race of endurance.
We may run the race, walk by faith & not by sight, or when we have done all, we JUST STAND!:angel:
Trust God at his word always!
God is a Spirit, Not a man That He should lie, Nor Son Of Man That he should repent. Numbers 23:19 & This Is Good Bidniz!!!:rocknroll:
I have those questions about what does God allows me to do and what not to do. Im pretty sure you having it right. I am also sure that God says about me: its ok for today dont worry!
Im loving God with all my heart since about 3 weeks and im not that holy christian yet. But I am on my way!
Ive been reading the bible and praying to God, The Holy Spirit and Jesus. He does not accept compromising. I have to change and I have to do it now. Because Jesus has not been crusified so that I can drink a beer or any other alcoholic drinks. He gave his Son for us so that when we make mistakes we can be saved.
If you read this and you have the time to pray for me I would appreciate it.
Alot of people compromise in different ways. They make it ok in thier head, and do something that seems a little bit smaller compromise.
I have had some people tell me different things for how to get over it.
First distract your mind, read the bible, pray to God to take away whatever is tempting you. And the other thing is If Jesus or your mom, or someone important to you was standing there watching you do this, would you still continue to do it?
Alot of people are tempted with things. There are alot stronger people because they are tempted with less things. I think if you have someone that is coming off of a bunch of addictions. That person will be tempted alot more then just a normal person that is just tempted with sex.
Yes you should try to be spiritually whole, pure, etc. But it is very hard to ever achieve that. We are all humans and will slip up once in a while. Doesn't give you permission to go on a slip up spree.
But remeber this. If you do happen to slip up. Confess to God. Ask his forgiveness, truely mean it and try to take yourself out of those situations.
And do not let yourself beat yourself up. Shame is our own worst enemy. You can make yourself so sick with shame that you think your beyond help. Why should I do better, im just going to mess up agian. So it could throw you into alot of sin.
Sin may feel good for a couple hours. But Is it worth not being able to hear God anymore? When you sin its like putting a wall between you and God. You put to many of those, it's going to be hard to get back to him.
I know this for a fact. I have decided to take a path that normally shouldn't be taken. I chose my flesh over my spirit. I will have to take the consequences for it. I feel though right now in my life that this is the best to keep me, from going way back into my old life. I know I will eventually get sick of being used by this person. But if it keeps me from doing worse things then I'm going to do it for a little while.
Now alot of people are going to disagree about what I said. But it's between me and God. He knows what I been through. He knows my views on things. He seems to only let me do so much until he brings me back in.
I agree with that! Its your relationship with God and only the two of you know exactly what the siuation is.
Since I have chosen to live for God and gave my live and spirit to him, it's amazing and at the same time confrontating. I felt his love for me, but when I did wrong things I felt the distance between me and him. So Ive learned compromising is not an option! Because when I wanted to regret about the faults I made.. I didnt feel that I had sincerly regret about it. because I chose to do wrong. On the moments I prayed and had regret I didnt had that connection with him.. It felt terrible!
Since a few days I have decided that I cant be a compromiser for any longer. I had sincerly regret and Jesus forgave my sins. Hallelujah!I asked Jesus to come and live in my heart. He is cleaning up now..:)
I feel great now. Compromising is not an option! Live for the Lord is everything you need.:bow:
