Re: Simon Hall - "The end, one way or another"

I'm glad we are given to express ourselves even when we are at fault here. Even though discipline and correction hurts; it bears peaceable and worthwhile fruits. I'm glad for the correction I was given here; and recently experienced victory in confessing Christ coming in the flesh through Victor. I ...

Re: Is foot washing still applicable today

I "randomly" decide to open this thread and it is a timely lesson in service and love that I needed. I've been coming to TPOT looking to be helped, and not looking to help nearly as much as I aught. I should be more focused on serving rather than being served. I don't know if someone has gone throug...

Re: Simon Hall - "The end, one way or another"

I see that I have the wrong kind of fear, that of man and not of God; and in regards to fearing God it needs to be a fear out of love, not terror.

Thank you Terri. I pray God grants me the same fear.

Re: Simon Hall - "The end, one way or another"

Thank you Brian, I have been grappling with the idea that I hate God but as you said, all men hate God until they are delivered from the man of sin. We are all at enmity with him unless he has mercy on us. I didn't want to admit that I hated God but at the end of the day it is what it is; and I can'...

Yes sir. I won't believe I'm hearing from God anymore.

After talking with my boss I have the opportunity to continue working here and learning; so I will.

So I spoke with her and I'm hoping to actually sit down and be able to ask some questions.

Thanks Alan, I'll be sure to look into these links soon. It sounds like an incredible way to meet some farmers in the organic animal husbandry field. And what I wouldn't give to be taught by a farmer who sells organic raw dairy. Lord willing it'll go well at the farm you're currently at. Regardless ...

Hi Alan, I just read the papers again before typing this. I have been working at an organic farm for the last 6 weeks and while it has been grueling, I thank the Lord for that. I haven't received any revelation from the Lord thus far except that I should stay where I'm at, work, and wait on Him. Sin...

I can work on project 11. Is there a system for going through the papers? Such as a list of papers to go through or a list of papers already done. If there isn't I can start going through systematically, A-Z.

Re: If everything is in Gods hands

Thank you for sharing. I needed to hear all of that. I very easily go to extremes and those words from Ecclesiastes hit home. May the Lord continue to bless you with the Spirit of wisdom and understanding. Truly he shows himself to be a faithful God.

Re: If everything is in Gods hands

You're asking all the questions I do in my mind. I don't know it its healthy to keep them and not ask them; but i suppose the answer to that is the reasoning. If a question I have is burning inside me and hindering me from doing his will, then better to ask and if i get rebuked then fine. At least n...

To The Confused

To all who care to hear a testimony. My story is not long, neither is it special. More so than anything it is mundane and trivial in my eyes, yet it could possess power beyond myself should the Lord see fit. My life in the secular world was plagued by the trivialities that come from the season of li...
