day 8(the trying of your faith worketh patience)
Posted: Sun Jan 30, 2011 6:31 pm
3Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to his abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
4To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you,
5Who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time.
6Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a season, if need be, ye are in heaviness through manifold temptations:
7That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
8Whom having not seen, ye love; in whom, though now ye see him not, yet believing, ye rejoice with joy unspeakable and full of glory:
9Receiving the end of your faith, even the salvation of your souls.
1 Peter 1:3-9
By being aware that my body (The flesh) was born into sin...and, Realizing that my (flesh) Will always war against my( spirit.)..which is willing and wanting to do what is right before the Lord and within my own self...And by the testing and trying of my faith will birth patience within my self...(which I will need lots of to finish this race to recieve the promise..) So, as I go throught the fire I will rejoice and be exeedingly glad for I know by the burning off the dross i am coming out gold...
when I am overwhelmed I will cry out and say lead me to the ROCk that is higher than I...who will give my soul rest and peace not as the world giveth but peace which surpasses all human understanding...
I am going through the fire (now) my health is under attack.., Thank you for this pain for it is teaching me how to endure and tolerate what would drive most people insane...By a small portion it cannot compare to what you suffered for me...because you loved me...Now I will suffer for you...
as I always have..I am...and will continue to do so until the day I take my last breath...
For I know my suffering is not in vain...and I will reap my reward in Heaven someday...amen
I must protect what thoughts (bad seeds) enter my mind...
I must feed my
spirit and starve 
the flesh...by dying to it daily...I am exercising the renewing of my mind...
therefore strengthening my spirit so it can overcome the flesh without struggle...amen
Building up my spiritual muscles baby....
Philippians 4:8 (King James Version) Feeding my spirit with scriptures that strengthen me...
8Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Well, thank you jesus and thank you Holy Spirit....
