a good friend in Christ has started to write a blog and her first entry has struck a chord with me cuz it am also in a similar place. check it out....
below is how i commented to her posting. i was so moved by this and comforted in a way cuz i am not the only one going through a similar thing in my life. i believe that this is a place of purification where many in the Body of Christ are right now. the only difference or similarity is that they don't recognize the guidance of the Lord to come into greater communion and fellowship with the Man Jesus or they know they are being drawn in but are in totally denial of the move of God and therefore being lead astray by sin. I believe this is where many are cuz Father is set to have a pure bride to present to His Son, our Bridegroom Jesus! He will have His way. Jesus is jealous for our love and devotion.
a wise mother in the faith recently said 'it is better to lean on the sword than the sword lean on you.'
my reply to the blog:
yeah i hear you sister. i have very recently been confronted with my own sinful nature of pride and selfishness. i should have known that the Lord would answer my prayers of "God i want to be holy and pure. make me a fire starter in my community. whatever it takes and whatever brings your name glory Jesus!' yeah those kinda prayers are DANGEROUS!!! to our flesh. therefore i have been brought into this place by kindness and love to go deeper in purity and holiness. this is a total lifestyle change even for me now! i tell you, where i thought i was pure and holy i have been alerted that it is filthy rags before the Lord! He is my one desire and i am longing to be one who ascends the hill of the Lord Ps 24. i know that i am not just beating air but that this will eventually prove to be the Glory of God revealed on the earth. Thank the Lord for Holy Spirit with us...i certainly could use more comfort and help in this endeavor.
