i never understand all the posters who say this,why do you assume we havn't allready chosen Christ? or is it that God's special people never get hurt or ill?
Quoting: lupa14714 Discernment. People who know the truth aren't (shouldn't be) seeking counsel from psychics or anyone else who speaks falsely against The Lord.
And as you refer to us as "GOD'S Special People". Yes, He does care deeply for us. And I would rather be in the good graces of The Lord, than be in the path of His righteous wrath.
And if you truly knew this and what The Lord is capable of, you wouldn't want to be either.
And what is really sad is people do not know or understand that GOD loves us so much. So much that He sent Jesus Christ to give people the truth.
How do your children know you love them...? Is it because you tell them everyday or do they see it by what you do everyday...?
Love is more than just a feeling. It involves action. It is not lip service.
How about your spouse...? Does she know you love her by what you say or is it by what she does...?
This is why it is important to know the truth from a "reliable" source. The only person qualified to give such information. Jesus Christ.
Because if you do not know and you find yourself in need. As in a certain unusual situation, who can you trust...? Your family thinks your nuts. Everyone and everything seems to be attacking you and your faith (if you have faith). Your world seems to have just taken a complete 180 and nothing seems right. Your scared to death and it's a miracle itself that you have not died of an heart-attack. The things that are happening, you can't run and tell anyone because they wouldn't believe you anyway. And the very people who you thought you could trust are the very same people who are shooting fiery darts.
Your left all alone. No one to turn to. And it doesn't matter where you go or what you are doing. You just want it to stop. To go away. You want your life back.
You just want the truth. You want comfort. You want forgiveness. You want mercy.
You pray and you think your prayers go unheard. You can't sleep and if you do, it isn't good sleep. You constantly have thoughts running through your head all day.
You think you are going nuts because you know it isn't right. But your not. So you just keep going through it. You keep praying. Another sleepless night. Another late night infomercial. You try and cram everything in a short period of time by reading the Bible. Watching TV Evangelists. And no matter what, it is still happening. But you keep your faith and continue to pray. No matter what, GOD'S will be done.
I can tell you that anyone who is trusting in GOD. And The Lord Jesus Christ. There faith will not be in vain.
Stay faithful to what you believe and whom you trust in. Don't let them brake your faith. Whether it be your family, Doctors, Counselors, Physicians, other people who claim to be christians (the enemy comes as an angel of light)but you know something isn't right....
The enemy knows when to kick you when you are down. But The Lord is able to make you stand.
Think about this....
Who is the enemy attacking...? And why...?
Take heart.
