In Spite of Myself

I Corinthians 5:9-13

I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler—not even to eat with such a one. For what have I to do with judg...

I was thinking a while back about how we spend a lot of time in church talking about the fruit of the Spirit. I came up with a list of the opposing fruit...the fruit of the flesh. Below is the list with their counter fruit.

Spirit = Love                                  Flesh = Hate

Spirit = Joy  ...

I've been doing some research on spiritual gifts to try to figure out what it is exactly that I do. Every since I was a child, I have had this ability to know when something is wrong with someone (it's like a flashing red light to me, even though no one else seems to be able to tell). Not only do I know something is wrong, I also know exactly what it is that the person needs (to help them spiritually). I believe that this might have something to do with the word of knowl...

Jeremiah 2:13

"For my people have committed two evils; they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters, and hewed them out cisterns, broken cisterns, that can hold no water."

I was looking at this verse and I started thinking about how this is true for so many Christians today. As born again Christians, we have been given the "fountain of living waters". Jesus said in John 4:14 "But w...

All of us have many parts, but in those people that have DID those parts are very, very fragmented. I do believe God saves the whole person once....however, with DID the parts are so separated that they take on a life of their own...and they don't all have access to the same knowledge.

The way I see it is that just like we have parts that we hold back from giving over to God...so do those with DID. However, we are connected to all our par...

I was thinking about how people with DID (Dissociative Identity Disorder) and the church have a lot in common. They are all part of one body. And they all have important functions. One part is not more or less important than any other part. It makes me think of I Corinthians 12: 4-26.

Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the ...

Lord, Speak to Me

Lord, speak to me that I may speak

In living echoes of Thy tone;

As Thou has sought, so let me seek

Thine erring children lost and lone.

O lead me, Lord, that I may lead

The wandering and the wavering f...

Remember, some years ago Psychiatrists would open up the heads of their patients in order to help them heal from their disorders, and mess with their brain until many turn into a vegetable stage. I don't see how they aren't doing this now, but this time with drugs, I believe that everyone in the world has a "mental illness" which a Psychiatrist can subscribe some crap like this.

"The reason why many are still troubled, still seeking, still making little forward progress is because they haven't yet come to the end of themselves. We're still trying to give orders, and interfering with God's work within us. "
