Joel, both my parents were ordained ministers as it sounds like you had as well growing up...you probably have been around alot alot alot of statements of faith dogmas.... HolySpirit as Father not God as Father junk...Even the doctrine of demons that replaces God as Father in the heart and tries to subtly ever so cunningly make Jesus the Father when He is the Savior..the Son of the Father...God the Son...Anyway, I know what I saw on you. GOD has broken you into a man of His Rest..His Faith....His Grace...what I saw was a man in God's River that makes Glad......that Yoke which is easy and burden which is Light...The new Adam Christ Jesus has given you miraculously the OneTree walk with God....the Tree God intended us to eat from.....GRACE is Jesus!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29606082.post-34185862201697632412015-07-21T12:12:11.373-05:002015-07-21T12:12:11.373-05:00Yes indeed, it is a trust issue, and a control iss...Yes indeed, it is a trust issue, and a control issue... trusting in my own abilities vs. trusting solely in God's gift, and realizing that indeed God's grace doesn't operate when I try to take control but rather when I rest.

IT'S NOT YOU BUT GOD'S ABILITY THRU YOU THAT HITS HOME RUNS IN CHRISTLIKENESS OR HOLINESS....Hmmm. If I DO NOTHING then CONTROL IS MORTIFIED....CONTROL makes me feel comfy. It gives me a rush...This GRACE THING obliterates control..makes God the focus...not me and God...just God..that's a TRUST ISSUE....God is so WISE to make it a Gift. Not of ourselves. That you nor I can boast before Him....Eph.2. 8-9 God declares His own GraceRoots....yet sadly, many unbelieving believers still try and invent a better way than God...they secretly motivate themselves before God saying GOD, JUST GIVE ME YOUR INSTRUCTIONS AND I PROMISE, THE HOLYSPIRIT WILL MARVEL AT MY OBEDIENCE TO YOU....Satan laughs. God resists trusting in Self. And they go on the perverbial roller coaster of hope deferred that makes the heart sick. ..when the Tree of Life is as a desire fufilled...or a continual feast of VICTORY IN JESUS!!! ie. GRACE.....Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
