2 Timothy 2:23-25 But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes.And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; 2 Timothy 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.2 Timothy 2:14 ¶ Of these things put them in remembrance, charging them before the Lord that they strive not about words to no profit, but to the subverting of the hearers.2 Timothy 2:16 But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.1 Timothy 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.1 Timothy 4:7 But refuse profane and old wives’ fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.1 Timothy 6:4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings,1 Timothy 6:5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself.Titus 3:9 ¶ But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.O brothers and sisters, my heart is grieved when I come on this site and read brrothers and sisters in the Lord arguing, needlessly with eachother. Mark 3:24 And if a kingdom be divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand.The root of the problem is pride in the heart of the participants. Proverbs 13:10 Only by pride cometh contention: but with the well advised is wisdom.Please for the sake of the Kingdom of God, and for the sake of the groth of the young Christians on this site, STOP IT In the name of Jesus!Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.Seek God. Let us not give reason to the enemy to blaspheme the holy name of our Lord.

Isn’t God’s word wonderful? We are so blessed to live in this country and to freely be able to read, and chew upon this heavenly manna. The more we read of his word, the hungrier we become. Do you know that God sees this hunger? He wakes you up in the midnight hour 1,2,3,4am in the morning, because he desires the talk to you and with you.Not too long ago, he woke me up at 3:00am, and I knew that I would stay up and not go back to sleep. I was excited because I knew that the next three hours would be his, with no interruptions. I began to worship him and then he began to show me the faces of the saints he wanted me to intercede for. I prayed for saints I had never prayed for before, and I knew for a fact they have prayed for me. I could not stop praying the more I prayed the more he would show me faces, pray for this person, now pray for that person and that person. I knew that I knew, that I knew this is what he has wanted of me.You may think well you are a Christian isn’t that what you are suppose to do? Yes! It is and I do, but it is different when you are woken up in the midnight hour. I normally get up at 4:00, 4:30am. But this day it was at 3:00.There is so much I would like to share with everyone, but I can only share what the Spirit of God would allow me to share, because of the different levels and the sensitivity of our walk with HIM.What does the word Obedience mean to you? It means (Submission, Surrender, Respect).Luke 6:47 – 48 – I will show you what everyone is like who comes to me and hears my words and obeys. That person is like a man building a house who dup deep and laid the foundation on rock. When the floods came, the water tried to wash the house away, but it could not shake it, because the house was built well. AmenJohn 15:10 -11 – I have obeyed my Fathers commands, and I remain in his love. In the same way, if you obey my commands, you will remain in my love. I have told you these things so that you can have the same joy I have and so that your joy will be fullest possible joy. (Apart from God, I can do nothing, I understand this well, but what I want is God)1 John 2:3-5 – We can be sure that we know God if we obey his commands. Anyone who say’s, “I know God”, but does not obey his God’s commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. But if someone obeys God’s teaching, then in that person God’s love has truly reached it’s goal. This is how we can be sure we are living in God:When reading his word is he not teaching us, are we not learning, Yes we are. And we desire to share with others all that we have learned so that they too may learn, grow and desire this hunger for his word. Do I know a lot of scriptures? No, I don’t at least not by chapter and verse, but his word is in my spirit and as I pray I draw from the living well that is inside of me. This well is inside of us all. The more we spend time in his word, his word is being deposited into our spirit, our well, our living well. And so I say to you,SPRING UP OH WELL,:-)God has been testing my obedience, my obedience to his word and what he has been speaking to me for awhile. I would come across a scripture, that I am not a liberty to share. Anyways every time I would be led to that scripture, I would close my bible, or flip the pages because that was not what I wanted to hear. It’s funny because we can be so silly sometimes to think that God in Heaven is not looking at us. I was afraid, I didn’t understand that I was being tested, it hurt me so much. I would cry to God because I could not understand. God has a way of getting our attention, in my situation he used someone very special to me, and that’s all it took and I obeyed. I’ve learned that we are his creation and his spirit knows no distance. He has created each and every one of us for a purpose, we are wonderfully made in his image. He loves us so much. I’ve learned to wait and listen to his small voice. Does this sound familiar?We must respect the work that God is doing in each and every one of us. God is in Control. We are all called to pray for one another, this was one of my first teachings.

Hi bluinos, how are you?You mentioned this which I really appreciateWe must respect the work that God is doing in each and every one of us. I try to think of this also in terms of our being likened unto vessels in His house and how then we ought to treat each other in light of that. Perhaps the idea of going through the Louvre in Paris and how carefull one would be among the works there is something similar in earthly terms.I for one have failed in this regard.Grace be with you in Christ

Hi there, Vico, a fellow Canadian, eh? Where abouts are you from? What has God been doing in your life?Welcome to SI. I think you will discover amazing things happen here. We grow as we wrestle through truths, as we try to understand each other, and learn to express our thoughts clearly. It may not look so neat and tidy all the time, because the journey is sometimes through misunderstandings, different life perceptions, different experiences, faulty use of words, egos, etc - just as Scripture says, "Iron sharpens iron". It's the grating that makes the shine. And oh - the shine grows ever brighter, as Christ is formed within us. But the shine is often on the side that we don't see. In the meantime our love for one another grows. We must respect the work that God is doing in each and every one of us. God is in Control. We are all called to pray for one another, this was one of my first teachings.Trust him, he's working alright! Diane
