your speech

[rag4aCrown]

Philippians 1:27-30
Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;
And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God.
For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but to suffer for his sake;
Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me.

Do you know Jesus? Do you know Paul? Do you know Stephen? Do you know me? If you know Him, you should also know those who follow Him; for we are ONE. We are not separate but one in the same, the Lord Jesus Christ; who has chosen us to be one, in like mind and in spirit; in Him, by Him, for Him. Amen

I know Jesus.. and I know people I have met in real life... i know you, to the degree that i am familiar with some of what you have wrote on this site. but that's as far as my 'knowing you' goes. in some sense, we are one body, if we are both truly Christians, then we are both members of His body, and thus share in the same body. outside of that, i wouldn't go so far as to say that Christians know each other even if they have never met ... unless your talking about in some mystical sense, in which we share a common experience through The Holy Spirit; then sure.

i could certainly use a ton of improvement in the way i speak.

Sister rag4acrown you have included yourself but you have missed out all the dear brothers and sisters in Christ here on this site?
For they are all part of the body of Christ too.
Do you know them?

Christ, only Christ, no idle word e'er falling,
Christ, only Christ, no needless bustling sound;
Christ, only Christ, no self-importance bearing,
Christ, only Christ, no trace of I be found*

Oh, to be saved from myself, dear Lord,
Oh, to be lost in Thee,
Oh, that it may be no more I,
But Christ that lives in me.

Not I but Christ liveth in me......
Galatians 2:20

2Co 5:15 And that he died for all, that they which live should not henceforth live unto themselves, but unto him which died for them, and rose again.
2Co 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.

Is it amazing the Apostle Paul wrote most of the New Testament, yet it seems like Paul knew Jesus Christ more intimately than those who walked with him after the flesh!

Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ:

1Pe 4:11 If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen. (NIV)

This is the internet. Anyone can pretend to be anyone. Why try to prove anything to anyone?

Moses said something quite profound:

Numbers 11:25-30 Then the Lord came down in a cloud, and spake unto him, and took of the Spirit that was upon him, and put it upon the seventy Ancient men: and when the Spirit rested upon them, then they prophesied, and did not cease. But there remained two of the men in the host: the name of the one was Eldad, and the name of the other Medad, and the Spirit rested upon them, for they were of them that were written, and went not out unto the Tabernacle and they prophesied in the host. Then there ran a young man, and told Moses, and said, Eldad and Medad do prophesy in the host. And Joshua the son of Nun the servant of Moses one of his young men answered and said, My lord Moses, forbid them. But Moses said unto him, Enviest thou for my sake? yea, would God that all the Lord’s people were Prophets, and that the Lord would put his spirit upon them. And Moses returned into the host, he and the Elders of Israel.​

You want to be seen as a prophet? Awesome. I hope you are one. Why are we trying to get people to acknowledge us though, who cares? Seriously?

Can we grow up?

Thanks.

Blessings and love,

Travis

Oh, forgive me, myself is all I can speak for an. I was speaking to myself first; it comes to me first and I will be held accountable for myself. But thank you for pointing out my wrong doing, yet again. God bless you richly.

@Travis How does posting scripture say I am a prophet? All I have testified is to what I have seen, heard and felt. You are accusing me of something again that I didnt say. Praise God for you.
Now, if I am a prophet and anointed of God, may He have mercy upon your wretched soul. Forgive him Father, he knows not what he does.

Yes, dear one, Paul knew Him very intimately. What is born of the flesh is flesh; what is born of the Spirit is spirit. What kind of spirits are we hearing speak? We can speak the truth in love and not wearing our cloak of liberty to work maliousness, however, the one we speak to, because of sin in their heart, is offended and fights against us. Well, praise God, we stirred that self righteous spirit, reproving it, or rebuking it, and just may cause a sinner to be saved.

 

[rag4aCrown]

@Fragrant Grace
Yes, I know them. I hear the spirit that is speaking; according to the Word of God, ye know them by their fruits. Not that you physically know them, but that you know one another by the spirit that dwells within the heart. It is an eternal thing. If you know Him, you would know me also, and I know you; for we are born again or we are not. Ye shall know them by their fruits.

Hi rag4aCrown,

Well I wasn't saying you are a prophet, or saying that your are a prophet. That would assume you are a male. Nor am I saying you are a prophetess or that you are saying you're are a prophetess. Being a prophet though has always been a position of much honor and respect as far as the people of God are concerned. I was just using Moses as an example, in that it's not really a big deal who is who in the kingdom of God. In one sense, the apostle Paul is not better or worse than a brand new convert. I would that everyone here were as spiritually mature and as close to God as you seem to be Rag4aCrown. But why try to prove anything to anyone? What does it matter what some people halfway around the world think about you?

Blessings,

Travis

 

[rag4aCrown]

Forgive me brother. @Travis. There is neither male nor female, bound nor free, Greek nor Jew, we are under the new covenant, their is only the blood of the Lamb.

I was in a certain church and a lady sit down with me and said "now I want you to know, you are looking at a real live prophetess". Her eyes rolled back in her head and closed as she said it. God identified who she is; there is nothing hidden that shall not be revealed.

So, a prophet, or to be accused of me saying I am one; not so. So forgive me, may God have mercy on my wretched soul.

 

[rag4aCrown]

@Travis, I didnt realize I was trying to prove anything. And I am beginning to just not care aanymore. I ask God to restore my boldness, because of the beatings, I am lacking in so many ways. How i would love to be back in the woods again, just me and Him.

Greetings sister @rag4aCrown

Talk Jesus is an online forum where there will be differences of opinion and where ones words may be challenged....sometimes firmly but usually in love

If this is what you are referring to as a beating then you don't really know what a real beating is
Take heart and rejoice in the Lord's love for you sister.
Thank Him that you are able to safely use a computer to write about the Lord, probably from the comfort of your home
Thank Him that you have the freedom to worship, to pray and to praise

And whether we be afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation, which is effectual in the enduring of the same sufferings which we also suffer: or whether we be comforted, it is for your consolation and salvation. And our hope of you is stedfast, knowing, that as ye are partakers of the sufferings, so shall ye be also of the consolation.
