Or Living in the Way Wonderland!

Yes Ex, reproved, admonished, slammed me down on the spiritual ground raised HIS eyebrow at me like a stern Mama and my knees turned to Jell-o and I quivered all over and said meekly, Yes, Sir!

To which do you refer? The Christians who wish to be spoon fed or the ministers who minister it?

Didn't I tell you I'd do it!?

You don't have to flail your hands, just the mere mention of the name of the Lord by a Christian who understands their authority in the Lord Jesus Christ, causes the demons to tremble!

Will you marry me, Bill!

JESUS!

Seeing that I was over at Waydale, then here briefly, then back again now, what the heck is THE?

Mine is the HOLY SPIRIT Dove, and the name I chose, i.e. BrideofJC, is because this is how I think of the LORD JESUS CHRIST and it is the HOLY SPIRIT who is preparing those in the church who will be ready to go into the marriage supper of the LAMB.

Unfortunately, they are too real! But you're right, most Christians even, would totally freak if they ever saw some of the daimonion that the Holy Spirit has allowed me to see.

The one thing that I find most alarming is that too many Christians expect the minister to spoon feed them and tell them what to think. What is even more alarming is when you try to "raise the bar" they scream and fuss because you expect them to think for themselves. I have found unfortunately that too many are still too attached to Mama and when given the Word even in cereal or fruit form, balk intensely and try to spit it out. What is even more alarming than all of the above? The ministers who have come to expect that they must spoon feed their congregations and have ceased to care. So study on their own? You will find some, but not a lot.

On this thing, all we have to "show" for our "fruit" is our words. Since most of us do not live near enough to each other to fellowship, except by our exchanges on this board. All that I know, is that I do hear from the Lord God Almighty, He has led me through situations that by the natural flesh realms would have been impossible to live through, or come through unscathed.... Can I "prove" this to you? Absolutely not, since it is intensely subjective, being that I cannot share my spiritual experiences with you as they are happening.... therefore, my words are all that I have, Oakspear. The person's words will only be what they have to communicate this unique relationship with the Creator...so I guess it comes down to seeing what the person's life speaks about them.

Amen, Bowtwi! I firmly believe this is why the LORD JESUS commanded those who follow HIM to FORGIVE whether the one who injures ever seeks our forgiveness or not, is so that we can take ourselves out of the EQUATION and thus we operate no longer subjectively, but objectively, thus giving us a keener view from above. There was a sign in my college bookstore that has stuck with me all of these years: UNFORGIVENESS IS ALLOWING SOMEONE TO LIVE RENT FREE IN YOUR HEAD!

But "Off-Topics" are so fun sometimes and relieve any stress from reading these thing-a-ma-jobs!

I don't think I want to know which college he graduated from? OMG!

This is the only way that you get rid of those pop-ups, Wing: Ephesians 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, that he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

I was going to post about their "spiritual goals" and then I was going to upload their pics and make comments upon it, when the Holy Spirit slammed me. I hit the back button on my browser and cancelled my post. I do not know in actuality where this farm is located in MS, but you mention Ham "I see part of their justification of this as a contrived method to "move" a sluggishly growing ministry" and now I'm wondering about the "lean" website. I am also not familiar about the laws in MS concerning religious organizations, but I'm wondering if this is a hastily put together website in an attempt to keep a 501c(3) status so that their "farm" will be tax-exempt? Anybody here from MS and familiar with any of their state laws concerning these things? As far as detailing what the enrollee will receive, it's pretty sparse if you ask me, and rather suspicious that it doesn't list a physical address, nor even a post office box to show that it is a "real" place.

Is that in your backyard, Ham? You actually are owning up to having owned a Pinto? It didn't go KABOOM?

Thank you, White Dove! You have no idea just how much I needed it this morning! Let the Praise arise to the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY, who REIGNS forever and ever!

And the devil said unto him, If thou be the Son of God, command this stone that it be made bread.

I do believe I said, "It was ALLOWED of the Lord...I did not say that the Lord brought the persecution. Did HE very likely use what the Pharisaical Jews were doing to the church? Probably. But since we were not there, it is a moot point to say that they were not fulfilling what they were asked to do by the Lord. In order to make such an assertion, you would have to be God, and honestly, I don't remember ever talking to you before this. Then you ask "Did they match that with obedience? Precise obedience?" Hmmmm Are you observing "precise obedience?"

And that, Sister, is exactly why they do just that. Because to question, or leave means that they must (in their minds only) invalidate their own life and all that they worked for, which then means that they must admit that they have built with hay, wood and stubble, etc. But better to start over and truly build something rather than continually plugging up a leaking boat. Just pray for them that God takes off their blinders before it is too late. Except that then, even prophets such as Elijah who heard that still small voice of God, becomes invalidated by what you have just said. There is a difference, a major difference between hearing the still small voice of God and claiming that you have. There are truly people who hear from the Lord God Almighty. The only difference is that when people fake it, it puts a huge blight upon those that truly do and then they must labor even harder to get God's message across to a dying world.

But as I recall from having read that book, there was one intelligent one that made it out! We were asked in college after reading that book to think about which one of the mice that you most related to and it was rather odd that you can see so many patterns there not only for yourself, but for others. Sometimes I think that the Lord God has more prophets than we know about!
