I just can't get excited about the re-opening of the Temple. It's not dedicated to Jesus! In fact, the people who'll be in charge of it likely HATE Jesus. So I'm totally blocked in my mind on this point. I just can't find any approach to appreciating its significance. Even as an End Times marker, I can't find it the least bit interesting.
@UnderFathersFeatherz But is it? I've got to wonder. Maybe we're getting ahead of ourselves. Is this a REAL Temple to GOD - if it's not dedicated to Christ? To go one step further, is this the REAL modern Israel, if it was founded by demoniacs? Are these the REAL End Times, or just a dress rehearsal, a set-up, instituted by MAN, not God?
@MyFriendLeonard1 Thank you and I completely understand where you are coming from. Remember that Temple will be destroyed. Maybe initially build to Yaweh but not to Jesus Yeshua, no. They do not know Him yet nor understand that we are the Temple now, housing The Holy Ghost Who IS the Spirit of The Living God and His blood now sprinkled upon the mercy seat in our hearts. So our excitement isnt the temple its self but rather fullfillment of prophecy. God bless you so much!
@UnderFathersFeatherz You know what? I've been pestering Christians for some months now on this issue, and getting almost nowhere. Your mention of the destruction of this Temple suddenly brings me a lot closer to understanding what's going on!
I've been asking the Holy Spirit too - and feeling prompted by Him to ask other Christians instead. I can even see Him smiling as He tells me that. So I've trusted that direction and have been patient in this task. At last - some progress! Thank you! : D
@MyFriendLeonard1 yeah i been thinking along those lines, i get confused cos i starting to know myself and i more false than i realise i not be surprised if my father is satan not sure how allergorical dat is but i hear he father of lies, if its the real end of the world why the hell is africa still so fucked, i thought the bible says as in the beginning so shall it be in the end and in the beginning africa must been the promised land i hear is original land of everyoe and i kno dey had massive
@Cursed8Blessed Well, my advice is just to set all thinking aside and surrender to the holistic experience of God. He'll then give your thoughts back to you, now clear and well-ordered, redeemed of confusion and doubt.
Most Christians complete only 1/2 this process, and then bail out into doctrinal fantasies. But if you really connect w/ God in a deeply personal way, and trust His promptings completely, rather than your own thoughts, then He'll keep you in this redemptive process, till the end.
@MyFriendLeonard1 cheers for the advice appreciate it. i hear wat your saying not sure if its possible for the likes of me but yeah dis thinking all the time is doing my nut in ppl always say i think too much. thinking about thinking. maybe i shud go back do some breathing exercises and stuff try focus on my breath more. i kinda get the idea He may be keeping me to the end but to what purpose, i too scared to think about it much, but Praise God Hes powerful indeed..
@Cursed8Blessed My friend, it's nearly impossible for everyone. We all struggle to trust God and not ourselves, to surrender to Him and renounce ourselves. Compassion is due all around.
The only solution is to join other good-faith strugglers and be open & honest about your struggles. I sat in a loud rowdy church on fire for God for a year and a half before I started picking up the vibe. Choose a good church of Godly friends and then do not let them down. Fight. Pull through. Know God. Rejoice.
@MyFriendLeonard1 yeah thanks i do trust He is real and powerful and the most forgiving of the forgiving the most merciful of the merciful etc but i get the idea i crossed few too many lies i not go to church not sure i be very welcome i hear Yashua say the temple is the body i pray there its pretty desolate tho...
@Cursed8Blessed You'd be quite welcome at a good rowdy deliverance church! They're in the business of welcoming those who feel unworthy. And then soon it's your job to help welcome those who feel unworthy!
God is All Joy. It's only the devil in us who's down in the dumps. Take it from someone who walked into a church on his way to commit suicide. What goes on in hardcore deliverance ministries gives you something instantly to live for. Then it gets in your blood - and everything's made right.
@MyFriendLeonard1 hey thanks yeah i was looking into deliverance before and overcoming demon spirits on me and cutting generation curses but the preacher i was looking at sounded good and had done lots of deliverence in Ghana and places i like but when i went to check it out he had a list of false religions to be against and included was course in miracles which may not be from Yashua but more 2 da point had ras tafari included, i may be the seed of satan i starting to think but i never have
@MyFriendLeonard1 cont. could or would insha'allah/Jah willing count ras tafari as a false religionn, even when i not feel Jah is real let alone now i got no doubt. yeah i hear how you say the devil got us down in the dumps, i overjoyed to hear God done help you overcome suicidal tendancies, i been there n depression n mental illness now i know God is real even tho i get the idea i done lot stuff against Him or mi fam have in the past i still more happy lot of the time then i ever been. Bless.
@Cursed8Blessed You bring up a good point. It's remarkable, the sectarian bigotry you find in exorcist churches. You gotta go in w/ the idea to ignore the 90% nonsense you hear, and just focus on the 10% good stuff. It's a way to learn to love people regardless, even if your mentors don't.
Do you own a dog? Do you love it? Do you still love it when it tracks mud in the house? It's like that w/ us & God. We're to Him like dogs are to us. He knows to expect crazy stuff from us. We are what we are
@MyFriendLeonard1 yeah i think your right, i get the idea i sum primative monkey brain type i hear a wise saying hear no evil see no evil speak no evil heard it time ago now i try to hear and obey lol not easy. i may not go to church outside but if a body is a church regardless den i trying work on overcome mi inner schisms get some unity, trying focus more on bits of me is ok rather than the wrong so much. i used own a dog in oz i was thinking of it other day so yeah i still love even tho is
@MyFriendLeonard1 not with me, maybe God is still loving me even if i not with him propa i dont know i know enuf to know i couldnt fathom His plan if i spent forever like qu'ran say Allah is subltle. i got cat now i get the idea i was a wrong witch before he was maybe mi familiar? i kinda went off him for a while now i start thinking about it but even if he went wrong from God and/or led me astray i get the idea is still ok with Jah if i love him. i like what you say re being like dogs to God
@MyFriendLeonard1 3. reminds me that song who let the dogs out lol. also that song by porno for pyros about we make great pets. i appreciate you being friendly to me myfriendLeonard, i bit strange but i like be friendly too:-)
@Cursed8Blessed There ya go. It's always good news in regard to God. He's good - no jerk at all. We're in trouble only if we try to game His Goodness and take advantage of Him. All the rest amounts to honest mistakes. And listen to you already repenting for them. Repentance is something most Christians have a hard time with, but you got it down pat from the get-go. I think it's going to be all right with you. And now add yet another story of struggle to the great big mix that we Christians are!
Good info...thank you!
