I wrote meek and quiet on my mirror to help remind me daily since I struggle with that so much. He is installing those things within me. I still struggle but I’m progressing slowly. I have my moments.
I understand what your saying when you say people know the real deal. I feel like no one wants to talk to me let alone touch me. I feel rejected by people but I feel in my spirit that God hasn’t rejected me. I know people don’t believe that people can have an experience but I have and I’ll never forget it as long as I live. And I’m never gonna give up in pursuing him. I fail a lot but I get back up and keep going. I know how wretched I’ve been and how undeserving I am of Heaven. But I’ve also felt his Mercy and love. He has assured me that he will never leave me nor forsake me. I’m running this race and I’m not a quitter. No matter how much people hate me. It only is making me stronger because I’m learning how to deal with it better. Rejection is difficult to deal with especially when you have no one to help you. I know I’ve been prideful and he’s brought me low. But I’ll tell you I’ll never stop fighting. Ever. I know your a brother Tim. It’s obvious. Because you are salt to me. Love you and blessings!
Please pray for me. I committed adultery. Now I have a incurable disease. Need help. I am suffering. Every day. Every hour. Every minute. Since January. It never recedes.
Brother Jay, please read this, I believe it can give you some hope. This was from an old John Piper sermon. Someone asked him: “A while back, someone asked me if I thought a Christian or a Christian family could be cursed. My answer is this. If the word of God abides in you, you overcome the evil one. No demonic curse can stand against the gracious, liberating, transforming, devil-defeating word of God when it is abiding in our hearts.” - I’m gonna get you the sermon link so you can listen to this yourself from the John Piper sermon🤍💙🙂
What a phenomenal teaching. I am only at the 35 min mark after 2 hours because I stop and take verbatim notes but this is speaking to me and I know why GOD why the Holy Spirit directed me to your ministry and I'll Be Honest. I was stagnating in a splendid isolation between my last church of 12 years that is a Salt shaker but the world got in it and it lost its savor. GOD bless you Brother Tim I have never in 72 years heard a preacher of the Word ever be curious about the properties of Salt....and what Jesus intends for us to be in the world in order to serve Him according the purpose He created us for. Glory to God!
Did Calvin die for you? Did Calvin baptize you with the Holy Spirit? Who is your Saviour? Who gave you life? Who are you living for and representing? Whose name you have taken upon yourself is your God.
A fake faith is already a wreck. Mentioning a shipwrecked wreck is illogical because anything already shipwrecked cannot be further shipwrecked unless it was rebuilt in an intermediate stage... and in such a case it is not the same ship. Go Navy!

Remove all anger and bitterness from our hearts and minds, and remain the "salt" of this generation
Thanks Ps Tim. Glory to God for your passion for truth, like a beetroot stain, God's truth etched on my soul. God bless you.

I prayed for you. Be with God

Thank you
One's saltiness is the distictive quality, the adds to worthiness to life.
Amen.
Did Calvin die for you? Did Calvin baptize you with the Holy Spirit?
Who is your Saviour? Who gave you life? Who are you living for and representing? Whose name you have taken upon yourself is your God.
How do I make contact? Is it on the job and put-and-about? I do not feel that I have the gift of evangelism. How do I do it?
It means you can loose your salvation i think is what Jesus was saying
I’m gonna fight
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
