Hello,
Let me introduce myself,
A little while ago, I was invited to join this forum by Pete . the invite was made on another forum.
Now, at the beginning of last year, 2009, I let it be known to God that the war between us was over!
What followed was an extraordinary journey in which God showed me things. I began a very spiritual journey, which I am still on. At times I came to conclusions too quickly in the things that God was showing me. Unfortunately the conclusions were not always the right ones. I was racing along far too quickly. At times I have ended up confused and have had to ask God what is He really showing me!
While this journey is a wonderful one, parts of it are distressing, so at the same time it is a journey I don't really want to be on! I guess the reader of this may be familiar with the journey? That is if we are traveling along the same road.
Not long after declaring my peace with God, I found myself on a forum, defending God's integrity and the truth about Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It was through that forum that I was given the invite to join here. As a result of my racing ahead in my conclusions as to what God was showing me at that time, what followed was an unfortunate departure. What a pain I was to Pete!
After the departure, I found myself being torn about posting on the forum through which I had been invited to join here. What profit is there if what follows is blasphemy against the Holy Spirit? I wrestled with this at night.
Then the words came to me, " I will show you a better way" In that I had a mental vision of Jesus on a beautiful day performing miracles of healing. It now seemed to be that what God was now telling me was to build a forum. A forum testifying to God's deliverance.
Not long after my departure from here I found myself confronted with something about Jesus on the cross, and the Commandments of God. In that confrontation I found that things I had stated on this forum did not make sense. The punishment for going against God's Commandments was death. The Bible tells us that Jesus took the punishments upon Himself. In that confrontation, my put forward reasoning on this forum came tumbling down.
Therefore to Pete, you have my apology for my being such a pain!
This is the Age of Grace. It is the most blessed time. So let us always be thankful to God. Let us not waste time getting to know God more and more, but let us pray that we become more like replicas of He who is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. That is the beautiful part of it. And it is the part that makes this journey worthwhile.
God Bless.
Steve.
