No I do not think myself super spiritual or anything...I in fact usually
am guilty of having not one but...BOTH feet in my mouth! But can only
express true happenings from past and present days while living for God!
*Confession/testimony...if you will*
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Well, I will just be a rebel for mercys sake..and believe on using
mercy, charity, humility, compassion, [and feverently/earnestly pray
daily to practice letting God do His job, for I too in past had a judge
badge and carried a magnifying glass/and sword with a judging analitical
attitude]....The outcome=...many never had the opportunity to hear, see,
feel, and appreciate God's love and mercy thru me (I was not
"Christ-like", I had a form of Godliness but was denying the power of
mercy/charity,etc. thereof) I did not practice W.W.J.D....because I used
to bring condemning scriptures as a weapon...for every action in other
peoples lives...becase that is what I learned to do by actions given to
me when I was a new babe in Christ. I then truely repented from this
fleshly nature to judge/condemn people...thus now it sours my soul to
see it happening, and I will continue to come against condemnation as
much as possible..no matter to whom is being addressed...me included!
For I am still fighting this condemning nature within myself!
Many times I write to help myself break away from evil thoughts..and
should delet what I've written as sonn as the letter is finished..but my
finger is "send-happy".
** {which seeds are we sowing?..bitter weeds that choke growth..or
mercy/compassion/charity/humility,etc.}**
The result...unhappiness...and spiritual "murders/abortions"..and using
the Word of God and the gift of Holy Ghost as a weapon [I realize we are
all to use these.* in righteous examaning of fruits*...but if we
do..please let us use them only to discover wrong doing only for the
sole purpose to first pray feverently and then help brothers/sisters *in
humility, meekness* into coming back to a better happy righteous
living]
**Galations 6:1 "Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which
are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness:
considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted."
**I Peter 4:8"And above all things have ferverent charity among
yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins."
Ending note on this..an assembly we in past attended went from 180
saints...to now about 14!
Reason??? ...living for God had no longer been based on mercy,
compassion, charity or reaching out to a lost and dying world...the new
*religion* of the church has become condemnation and judgement
[analyzing/judging and devouring each other daily]!
Even the community we would walk, shop, visit in when we'd ask people to
come visit..they'd reply...uhhh uh..you go to that *mean* church!
Thats why I'm a rebel against judgement/condemnation...and if anyone who
reads this can sincerely judge(with mercy only to help bring people out
of sin with compassion/charity/humility and not to butcher with the
Word)..Praise God!
My prayer is that every assembly grow in love/charity and reach out to a
lost and dying world...not become synical/analitical in nature
devouring each other daily!
Respectfully,Sis.Winn
