Grace to Love

My Dear Friend, This continues to come to my mind after reading your post and the article, “His Will Isn’t the Point”. http://www.stevenfurtick.com/personal-development/his-will-isnt-the-point/   It reminds me of the popular book that starts out, “It’s not about you”. Both of these I’m afraid are so misleading and disingenuous. Though they may want to lead you to God, they in fact do the opposite.  We cannot separate ourselves from God to find truth. We cannot separate God’s perfection and love into boxes or ideas of understanding and say, “This is what God look’s like”. This is carnal (natural) thinking. As if any of us can separate God out of His desire (will) put that part over here, His love over there, His divine character in another place. If we believe he is Omnipotent, Omnipresent, “All in all”, then we must understand that he is Wholly God. We cannot dissect Him from His Word, and in the Word to get a complete picture. You can’t separate God from His will. That is...

Until we come to know we are also Spirit, we continue in life in the Flesh (sarx) other wise known as a Carnal man. When we become aware that we are also Spirit, we then realize that we have the Spirit/Breath of God in us. We then understand the Spiritual man.

After spending almost 20 years as a Jehovah’s Witness (JW) in an abusive marriage any logical person would think I was crazy to do so, except my devotion in the religion and as a wife is a matter of the heart. Who I am, more importantly, whom God made me to be! I’ve dreamt similar dreams in the past few months, only to wake up disturbed. The Dream: I am back in the congregation amongst many I knew before listening to some talk about how JW are separate and better than others for no other reason than they have aligned themselves with a body of men that say they have “The Truth” (about God). All JW’s are to believe the One truth about God without question. To question or to believe anything different means disloyalty and something is wrong with YOU. As I sat listening to words that were untrue and harsh concerning people outside of their realm, I stood up, threw down my bible toward the...
