Daily I work on suppressing my flesh and quenching that enraged thirst through meditating on Ephesians 3, for better understanding of God’s “Holy Word”, but not leaning to my own understanding. Because of what I have experienced and seen in this life verses the doctrine written for humanity will keep you in a state of frustration, hope and anxiety. If you chose not to believe there is a higher GOD over man on earth; who demonstrates works of iniquity.
So when the Holy Bible is judged blaspheme by any nation or race of man. To express our idol actions instead of spending more energy in doing Ephesians 6. Then how is God at fault for simply appointing man to write and deliver the doctrine from a higher level of divine wisdom in order so that we “humanity” can find salvation not under human coercion. Therefore I expect to be stretched, tried in the fire and tempted with the desires more than many ways in this life. So expect when you choose to use your own mind; there will be more oppositions & consequences. That will challenge my, your and their faith in God. In whom I pray and trust. My first love the only creator in Genesis I. Whom placed a word in Timothy because it read clearly of what is ahead of our exhausted thinking once humanity grew weary on this journey.
One day humanity would fall into Ephesians 2, a dark place where the good in faith and bad turned to or against “doctrine” for clarity. And in time children will speak wisdom to the weary, prideful and weak. As they watch man demonstrate their good, evil and bad deeds. So in closing what does mercy and grace, salvation and the gospel mean to me; GOD saw ahead and appointed man to write a plan so that all nations would repent and not sin again, in his or her own flesh of Sodom and Gomorrah. And to for warn us for the remainder of the Days of Our Lives those days will be filled with test over time.
I can relate to how being hopeless feels but faith reminded me; God knows the plans for me, him, and all in Jeremiah 29:11. And the places I, he or them once went no longer possess any interest.
In Proverbs the tongue is like a double edge sword and I forgave, he forgave, you forgave even if she or him did not accept the God in it. Choices must be made whether are not humanity is quick to forgive than they are to continue to work in arrogance and slower to accept one another’s apologetic works. In a world of good & bad behaviors. Where murderers continue to exist from Psalms 10:8; lurking in the world we live in today.
I can also relate to burning in the flesh and how quick people will take advantage of it. I see many Rebekah's in our mothers, aunts, grandmothers and daughters. So you much possess tough skin. Once you have identified with how we all work in our flesh; of destroying our own generations. And in the story of Genesis 19 Lot a father chose his daughter because of her deceit to make the father believe. And in all nations there still exist men with no coercion of lust after their own flesh. As men & woman gnash teeth in the generational curse we refuse to believe in of what we collectively see.
I do believe there is good teachings and false doctrine around the world even in our relationships. I do believe in marriage before kids. However, I was once a baby momma because in my flesh I made a decision that came with many sacrifices to put God first and follow in the footprints of Ephesians 4:14
So the question has been asked; where do I stand in my religion? Am I "IFB" or Southern Baptist, Cult, Pentecostal, Catholic or non- denomination. And if you're not prepared for these questions are believe in something. There is someone listening closely & watching to say "how is your mental and physical health". Death taught me this after my son to grieve does not require human permission, date of completion or supervision. However walk with God through it. And continue to pray daily over your own state of mind & physical condition and watch the Devil flee from his original intention. Why, because any human being may not be of God who remains watching. So again, I will say “I am believer” born into sin and saved by grace & mercy. I also identity with how Satan is deceitful in different faces & places. So yes, I do believe in the gospel written through man of Holy Doctrine for God in showing up a path to Life's Direction; just look at the world in which we live in today; with much human perception lacking no direction.
As a child my mother always said read the small PRINT. The most important information is not always BIG. The same wisdom I shared with my son and gc.
All books hold text. People wear multiple hats, and the power of the tongue is like a double edge sword. But the reality is the Holy Bible predicted how humanity would contribute to a reality of prophecy currently revealed.
Live your life; and be humbled.
