I TOTALLY agree with every word of that!

And I know that you know that God loves us all. Right? But at the moment I think you're questioning whether He actually loves YOU! If that's so, then there has to be a reason (or probly reasons) why you're feeling that. I can remember similar feelings during my Christian life, when I was in a real 'down' period, for example.

I know that if you share with us what it is, we'll give you answers that you'll probably feel you've heard before - but they never helped then, so why should they help this time?

After a fair period of time with this happening you can easily get to feel that you'll never get sorted out, and that you're never gonna make it! And that's not a nice feeling is it?

If you want you can PM me and tell me what's wrong - but MORE than that. Tell me why you think it's wrong, and especially what you think needs to be done - but you don't know how. What I'm saying is that maybe it's time for us to listen more to what you're saying and feeling, more than giving you answers that don't seem to help. I don't know if you can see what I'm saying. But feel free to contact me if you'd like cos we are always here for you, okay!

Love you,

PRACTICAL NEW TESTAMENT CHRISTIANITY

MESSAGE #20


SCRIPTURE (6) - BE ANXIOUS FOR NOTHING!

PART 2 (Part 1 is HERE)


Philippians 4
6 Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;


THE PROBLEM DEFINED

The word 'anxious' above comes from the idea of distraction. It means to be 'troubled with cares', (ring any bells?) and it’s as if the troubledness stems from our minds being taken up with TWO (or more) things at once - as in "divided or separated into parts" - which is the root word from which the word 'anxious' comes in the Greek text!! Now isn't THAT interesting!!! Talk about trying to serve God and the world at the same time! - calculated to tear you apart...

So there may be this DREADFUL CONFLICT between:

.:: Trying to have FAITH in the Lord

.:: But being DISTRACTED with the circumstances of our life at the time...

and from this division of our mind and spirit comes the ANXIETY, which of course, HELPS NO ONE IN ANY WAY AT ANY TIME! Thus: "Be anxious for... exactly NOTHING!!!"


THE ANSWER IS HERE!!

In my messages here and in other places, I say over and over that the primary FOCUS of all of our life has to be the LORD. Our life has to REVOLVE AROUND the THINGS of God and RELATING to Him and OBEYING Him. Fail to get this FOCUS - and you've FAILED, period!!!

Instead of having the RIGHT FOCUS, for most Christians it's THINGS that we want, or it's our FEELINGS: our excitements, joys, desires, hardships, sadnesses. Sadly the majority of these things are of THE WORLD for most folks - rather than of GOD!

Galatians 6
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.

We reap what we sow. We can either sow to the flesh (the world, and most expecially what I want to do) and reap corruption. Or we can sow to the Spirit (God and His will for you and your life ) and reap everlasting life. This is VERY STRONG STUFF, hey!!!





You don't know HOW to do this?? Well, because I've DONE it, IF you determine to get serious about it, then reading my messages and following what they say CAN help you with this (just click the "Previous" and "Next" links beside the flashing red arrow).

I earnestly pray that you WILL!!

With love!

It can't be made bigger because that is the size that it is supposed to be - well it can be made bigger but it will not look right

I just took it to photobucket, and it is not re sizable, do you remember where you found it?

But as hisdreamer said, if it is the way it's made, it can not be changed
