Conditioned and commissioned

WE WERE BORN TO WIN AND CONDITIONED TO LOSE!!!!!!!!

Change the message and change your life's condition.
When I sink below the pain to escape I prevent myself from jumping any higher.
F.E.A.R is : False Evidence Appearing Real.
Example-1--Put fleas in a bucket with a lid on it. They will jump time and time again.
As they continue to jump and can not jump out of the bucket or higher
then the lid will allow. They eventually quit jumping and when the lid
is removed they do not even try to jump out of the bucket.
They were conditioned to defeat and quit trying. We as Christians san not do this and live a victorious life in Christ.
Example---2-- Now put a new flea in the bucket without the lid on it. The flea will jump and jump until he gets out. As the others see him get out they now realize the lid is off. Before you know it all the other flea's that gave up are now jumping again and escapeing their dead lifeless condition to do what they were born to do.

My dear brothers as we continue our journey in CR may we be that flea for christ that never gives up until we reach our goals of being ALL God called us to be.
IN THESE EXAMPLES SEE THE POWER OF ASSOCIATION AND CHOOSE WISELY
GBY all

P.S. Who you hang with is what you will become.

A B C"S & Bones

As Christians we have a choice to talk or be silent, wish or not, finish or not.
In order to deal with life we must be and A-ctivator B-eliever in it and it will C-hange our life
Example--- I A-ctivlely B-elieve that Jesus is my savior & he has C-hanged my life.
SOME QUESTIONS??? Are you an A.B.C. Christian? What letters describe you?
Are we an E.F.G. Christain? E-ffective F-or G-od.
Are we a H.I.J.? H-YPOCITTE I-N J-UDGEMENT.
Could we be a K.L.M. Christian? K-ind L-oving M-an.
Could we be a N.O.P. Christian? N-EW N-OT OR N-OW O-FTEN P-RAYING .
Might we be a Q.R.S. Christian? Q-UICKLY R-ESENTING S-OMEONE.
Do we struggle with being a T.U.V. Christian? T-OTALLY U-NWILLING to V-OLUNTEER.
Do we stuggle with being a W.X.Y. Chirstian? W-rongly X-raying Y-oung women.

How many of us struggle with being a Z Christian. One who catches, ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
DURING CHURCH SERVICES.

THERE ARE 3 KINDS OF BONES (ACTUALLY 4)
1. THE JAWBONE CHRISTIAN -TALKS IT AND DOES NOT WALK IT
2. THE WISHBONE CHRISTIAN-WISHES HE HAD & NO FAITH TO BELIEVE HE CAN HAVE.
3. THE BACKBONE CHRISTIAN-ACCOMPLISHES HIS DESTINY IN CHRIST IN SPITE OF THE DEVIL'S ATTEMPT TO SHAKE HIM OFF COURSE


4. IS THE BONEHEAD CHRISTIAN WHO KNOWS 3. TALKS AND WALKS LIKE #1. & LIVES LIKE #2

Wisdom keys

Self esteem, purpose, and destiny are all realities of life's journey. In order for them all to come together the key is BALANCE.
Survival of the soul is still bondage. Do not seek UNGODLY counsel
Prospering of the soul is healing & victory. for your soul.

Walls are built in courses and layers. True love patiently works together to remove
They must come down the same way. 1 by 1 brick by brick until the walls come down.

High power and success does not mean you are not struggling, vulnerable, or lonely.
God sends people into our lives we can trust and that do not want to drain us.

If we spend our present regreting the past, and fearing our future we will be depressed in our present and will not be able to hear the voice of God with our heads stuck in the sand.

GBY all

SOMETIMES WE ARE JUST TO THINK TO LEARN

As I sit and contemplate my week i see how depression and anger has ruled my week. I have given into my anger and now want revenge. I know this isnot of God and so therefore I strugggle more. I ask god to take it out and yet I reach to clutch it. God knows deep down my heart does not want revenge. What I do want is a way to define this huge gapeing whole I have in my heart from a shotgun blast to it. Picking up the pieces has been hard and now putting them al back together in the right places is the hardest and the most painful. that is where the anger comes from. It does not help when you see yet another man moving in on the woman you loved or still love. The pain goes deeper and so I cry to God again Lord take this from me. Seeing affection toward another man given when that is all you asked fro yourself and rarely got is just not fair.
Please know that this dumping does not change the fact that I know this is right for me right now nor does it lessen the fact that it still hurts to me deepest core.
Please remember me in prayer.

Re reading 26 and reading 27

Job, even as he is entangled with powerlessness in chapter 26 asks a very good question of his accuser Bildad. In verse 4 he asks Bildad, "Where have you gotton all these wise sayings?
Whose spirit speaks through you?" I now see here that Job is begining to see that after all these accusers that there is something fishy. Maybe they are not who or what they appear as.
How many times do we see people not as they are but are fooled by the words or looks of another? Something to think about!!!!

Chapter 27 Job begins a fight back from nothingness with faith in the almighty. he is angry and sins not. He says; " my lips will speak no evil and my tounge will speak no lies. I will never concede that you are right, until I die, I will defend my innocence. Now all those who spoke against him begin to get scared. They can see and feel his faith building and his coming out party is at hand.

DENIAL in it's greatest form is insisting that we have done nighting wrong and blaming our fair and merciful God. RECOVERY is looking at our life to se where we strayed from God's will. Then submit to His control and ask him to work with us to overcome our depepdency.
Amen .

Job 25 and 26

This is what I knew was coming. More bla bla bla from 25 yet in 26 job talks about powerlessness. In the recovery bible at the bottom this what it says about powerlessness.

It is difficult for us to admit our powerlessness. We spend years building the illusion that we are in control, only to face eventsthat make it clear we have no control at all. This is the first step in any recovery from a dependency or compulsion. Job was powerless over his situation. We, too, are powerless over our dependency and the circumstances that fuel it. But when we call on God for help, we willfind he is merciful and willing to help us.
One other thing I noticed looking back for a sec at chapter 23 was Job admitted looking in every direction he knew at that time to look N S E W and no sign of god. Being as low as he was I wonder if he ever thought to look U? UP I have been so low I can't look anywhere but up. Spending 18 months in a hospital bed you have little time to look elsewhere.

So my dear brothers when you are down what direction are you looking???
HMMMMMMMM
Jim.

Here it comes. Job's faith speaks

In chapter 23:7-11 Job says words I wanted to say to someone not to long ago. Fair and honest people can reason with God, so I would be acquitted by God my judge. here Job believes he has lost God and can't find him in any direction and yet still has the faith to say that God knows right where he is and when he has tested him like gold in a fire he will pronounce him inocent. Then in chapter 24:22 Job says; " God in his power, drags away the rich. They nay rise high, but they have no assurance in life. "

God thank you for my assurance in life with you and may I never forget that without you I have no life or assurance of it.
Amen.

not much to focus on here but this

chapter 20 and 21 did not have much for me. this did however strike me as a
much needed CO-DEPENDENT response to the dore direct in our lives.
Chapter 21:1 says this : Listen closely to what I am saying. You can console me by listening to me. OMG WHAT A CONCEPT!!!! Do they stop and listen to us or do they constantly think of themselves and always tell us we do not listen to them. MAN THAT DRIVES ME CRAZY!!!

anyway it is late and I obviously should not go here this late at night. SO
goodnight all.
JPFINH
And not I did not even talk to her LOL

Job 18 & 19

Chapter 18 is more bla bla bla about how bad Job is in his sin. So let's go to chapter 19.
Chapter 19:4 says this : And even if I have sinned, it is of my concern, not yours!!! Here we see Job getting frustrated with all the retoric surrounding him and he kind of barks back to say MYOB.
Then in 19:17 Job says : My breath (SIZE) is repulsive to my wife (FIANCE). in 19 he says those I loved turned against me. then in verse 25 is the strength of a man who knows God. he says in verse 25 But as for me, I know my redeemer lives, and that he will stand upon the earth at last.
That just assures me that God is on my side even if I can't see it right now or feel it.
God is developing my faith by stripping me of so much that has gotton in my way of him and I. God let me learn what you have for me.
Amen

JOB 17

It appears that job is nearing the end of his downward spiral to nothingness. he is stripped of eveything and still believes his destiny is in the hand of the lord. Most interesting of all is that he still soes not get angry to the point of sin and he trusts God even at his lowest.

Can we say we have trusted God completly at our lowest?

God forgive me for not.
Jim.
