I know my fear of this brought me to where I find myself. I need balance. I will try and find a Spirit-filled woman to go places with and spend time with so I can stop flitting around listening to doctrine like BM says. Sometimes it is better to be alone and be with God if the person you are with does not understand your desire and hunger for the Word.

I stayed up until 3 am this morning to just study in John. I found some other scripture that spoke to me also. Thanx for your prayers. I am spent.

Oh, dear one, what's important is that you KNOW what's needed! So many are blissfully unaware, and so they just wander all the time. *sadness* You know that you have to be in the New Testament, seeking for His word to us, reading what He's said, and discovering what we need to do. You know that unless the Lord takes first place that things will start to go awry.

If feels like a long time since I've stressed this important truth:

OUR PERSONAL AND INDIVIDUAL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD IS WHAT IT'S ABOUT, AND IS OF PRIME IMPORTANCE IN OUR LIVES!!! How can we possibly stay on the path without this? We cannot! We simply HAVE to be constantly RELATING to Him: this MUST be EVERY DAY!! There's can be no time-out called in this. He has to be our EVERYTHING!! This is ongoing, and it's daily - else we are simply nowhere!

Bless you for the heart you have for our Lord and Master!

Oh, Robin, I just read your post on Low-Self Esteem! It was just what I needed to hear. And it was after I pm'd you. Thanx for sharing. Bonnie

To all my friends here please pray for me this morning.
I woke up not feeling well at all.. I have a rumbling stomach, a bit of a headache and sore throat. I cannot be sick this week-end.

My parents are on their way, I have way to much to do! I am sure the stomach thing is a bit of nerves as well as exhaustion, but I know the good Lord will bring me through all of this.

My computer may be being torn down today.. hopefully not until tomorrow.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please here me this morning. I give praises and thanks to you for cleaning the muck up out my life! Praises to you.. Lord, please continue to help me and guide me so that I remain having you number one in my life. I am so thankful for you in my life and all that you have done.
Satan I rebuke you in the name of Jesus. I rebuke all those thoughts you are trying to put into my head this morning. I am loved. I love the Lord. He lives in me, not you Satan, so get out and stay out! We all here crush you this morning, The Lord is number one in our lives and will remain there forever and ever , no matter what you try to do Satan, the Lord is the almighty one! Lord, please give me strength to deal with all the boxes and keep me healthy in all ways. I love you Lord!

Amen

A NOTE:

Just wanted to let you know that we've started on a task of putting all Bondman messages across onto our website. The 60+ from here, and probably another 50 or so from previous forums I've ministered on.

Some advantages of this will be:

All messages will be together and so much easier to navigate to
There will be the ability to SEARCH for words and topics that you may be interested in.

Later we may be able to take this further and make it into a sort of Online Mini-Book of some kind, for even more people to be able to come and read as well.

Starting on this has directly come from your ENCOURAGEMENT and appreciation of The Inner Room! Which was rather unexpected, so thankyou so much for that!

PRAYER will be much appreciated as we tackle this job. Beloved has to be well enough to do a lot of the copying across (not exactly a simple task, as here the text is in one programming format, and on the website it has to be in a quite different format - from BBC to HTML). Anyway, we've made a start on it, and hope to get this done not too far down the track.

Message #71

YOU ARE A SAINT!

Well, at least I hope you are! I often use the expression "true Christians", *you've noticed?? lol* because there are many who are NOT, and what I want SO BAD for you is that you be utterly surrendered to the Lord Jesus, committed totally to Him, submitted to Him, and becoming more and more obedient unto Him. Those who are these things ARE true Christians, and can be assured of their rightful place in heaven with our God forever!!

But they are also SAINTS! Saint Sophie, Saint Jason, Saint Emily! *heavenly smile, lol*

1 Corinthians Ch 1
2 To the church of God which is at Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, with all who in every place call on the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:

Throughout the New Testament you are called saints, and are also called to be saints. Yes, I know that the Roman Catholic Church apppoints only those who have done many good works and miracles to the status of 'saint'. But the Word of God is my sole life-guide, and the New Testament says many times that every real and serious Christian is a SAINT of the living God!

The words "sanctify", "sanctified", and "sanctification" are from the same Greek root as "saint". So is the word "holy". So as well as being saints, we are also sanctified. But what does that strange word mean? A most WONDERFUL thing actually! - "sanctified" means "set apart for a purpose", and the purpose is: WE ARE "SET APART FOR GOD'S USE"!!! Don't you love that! As a saint of God when you totally belong to Him, and therefore as one who is sanctified BY Him and FOR Him, you have been called and set apart for God's special use! For any who have problems with their personal self-image or self-worth, I hope this lifts you up as you see WHO GOD SEES YOU AS!!

We're really good in the West with the "I-me-my-mine" syndrome, aren't we? Well, this is the exact OPPOSITE to that! I'm not called and set apart for "me", to live my life for myself and MY pleasure. Rather I'm called to be a saint, sanctified, set apart for our GOD - for HIS PLEASURE!! You see, God really, really, really WANTS you!!!

I want to tell you about three different and IMPORTANT aspects of being a sanctified saint. First, as an act of your free-will God has given you, you have to WANT to be sanctified. God's NOT going to MAKE you be set apart as His man or woman, and for Him, unless you really want to! PLEASE AGREE TO BE!!! Second, as a Christian Believer you ARE sanctified and a saint. That's who you are in the Lord Jesus!! Thirdly, you can grow as to HOW MUCH YOU ARE WILLING TO BE SET APART FOR HIM, i.e., you can GROW in your sanctification! And when you do, you'll be becoming more HOLY - because these two things are very very similar!

So when we've talked earlier about our righteousness and right-living as a Christian, and of being holy and godly, HERE, this was also talking about us being saints, and being set apart SPECIALLY and SPECIFICIALLY for the Lord God of heaven and earth! I hope that's all something of an encouragement to you, and will spark you to become even more and more His - as one of His SAINTS!!

- BM, with his Love
