📢 Forum Update - Hello everyone! I've made an improvement to the forum that should make following active discussions much easier. Beginning today, forum topics will display the most recent replies first (while keeping the original topic post at the top), so you no longer have to navigate through multiple pages to find the latest conversation. This change also helps improve the browsing experience in long-running discussions with many pages of replies. If you notice anything that doesn't seem to be working correctly or have any feedback, please let me know. — Richard G. In definite need of refining! Nail on the head! TR Amen Gratefulforgrace! ❤️ Our Heavenly Father has lovingly been chiseling away the false securities people put their hope in...even His own children are prone to elevate false gods above Him in our hearts and minds at times...i have put too much time, emphasis, trust and reliance on my own efforts to obtain information/knowledge, analyze it, and then in my own understanding apply it...even when it's been for very good purposes (ex. medical conditions of a loved one, etc.) it can be an idol, replacing my acknowledgment of Jesus on the throne of my life... during 2020 and this year so far, I believe the Lord has removed that ability from me...for my own good...to make me fully surrender to trust in Him...to grow my faith in Him alone... I had been seeing His work in shaking faulty foundations in those who have rejected Him, but wasn't fully repenting of my own tight grip on additions to Him alone being my King...dying to self- including indulging my fleshly desires for a sense of control by having accurate information etc... Anyway, please allow our Heavenly Father's refining in whatever areas He wants to make more like Jesus...it is out of love and it is truly freeing when we trust and bend with His gentle touch, listen for the still small voice of Holy Spirit as we read His Word, He molding us into more useful vessels for His good purposes and glory... I believe His Word, and it says in James 1:5 that He will give us wisdom...I just think He sometimes withholds what we think we need (for me it was accurate information for my purposes) when He knows of something we need even more (His peace that passeth understanding- faith in Him alone, etc.) I believe He will let me know what I need to know when I need to know it- for His purpose, in his timing...and He is giving me the peace to let go and trust Him alone...He will give me wisdom and discernment and guidance as it is needed....in the meantime I am to trust and love Him with all of me! Remember Proverbs 3:5-6! And I will pray Romans 15:13 for all my brothers and sisters in Christ all over the world!! I just imagine that some sort of peaceful situation needs to arise so that we are eating, drinking and giving in marriage prior to the Rapture; and that Israel is dwelling peacefully prior to G/M war. It's difficult to imagine that with all that Biden is promising in his first days which would include more lockdowns and restrictions. It would be nice to see some temporary justice happen in our USA, prior to our departure because our very souls that the Lord has placed in us crave it so. We know that true righteousness will never reign on this earth until King Jesus is seated on His rightful throne and of this we have no doubt. Perhaps the fear of going to prison or military tribunals would cause even Pelosi and others to come to a saving knowledge of Jesus, since we know that He is longsuffering not wishing that any should perish. Either way, the enemy does not have any plans of giving up... so whether Biden is inaugurated or Trump remains in office....the enemy will continue to seek to steal, kill and destroy and we will have a very divided nation. Let us pray that the will of the Lord will be done so that as many as can be saved will be prior to the Rapture, and that we are strengthened by His love, and live our lives with His love for others, and rest at night with the peace that passes understanding. Love my siblings here! we are almost home! :rose: :flyup: I'm with Yohanan! Forget all this political intrigue and theater! Forget star charts and dreams! Forget visions and dreams! Let our hearts seek His presence and glory! Let us overwhelm His heart by seeking our prayer closets, and His whispered words! Let us seek the wisdom and council of the blessed Holy Spirit! With every waking moment let us pour our hearts out before the lord! Pray for forgiveness and guidance! And submit ourselves to His will TR
