Amen, skrubby! The Holy Spirit is awesome!

Skrubby if you need to refresh this step tomorrow before going on, then do so. Don't try to absorb so much at once and then miss something, so just refresh then go forward.

The Lord's gifts will be revealed to you, as you begin to use them more and more. He will give you the gifts He thinks you need to do His perfect Will. Keep searching with Him, and He will show you so much.

luv ya

Hey, skrubby. The Lord will reveal your gifts in His time. Some are already apparant to us. Keep close to Him and always seek the Holy Spirit for guidance.

Keep up the good work. He is working in you.

skrubby, doesn't it feel good to know that you have a new weapon which allows you the Power over things that would previously have made you do things you shouldn't? Satan can try, but now you have the Lord who will fight Him for you, and you can accept the Lord's help also. Yes there are times we have to catch ourselves before you fall to judging another, because it comes so easy, but the less we allow ourselves to fall to the temptation of doing so, eventually we will stop all together. It's how Jesus makes us more like Him. Day by day, and trial by trial.

Keep up the good work skrubby. The Lord is proud of you.

luv ya

Uh huh. He can take anything about us and turn it into something good. He can turn fleshly arrogance into spiritual confidence, for example.

It's a great feeling knowing He is always there for us. He helps us to get through situations. He gives us peace of mind.

He truly loves us.

Amen skrubbles

We cant forget that we come to our Lord as we are, and He accepts us, flaws and all, but little by little, He changes our hearts, so that what may have once been 'normal' and acceptable, we slowly begin to recognize as works of the flesh.

When we abide in Him, we bear fruits for Him. Must remain in the Vine.

GBU skrubbles

Cheering ya on lil bro

Heya, skrubbers! You are in the homestretch now, baby! Whoooooo hooooooooo!

Force feeding the sheep. Yep. It's really important to have a good balance when you are witnessing or ministering to someone. If you found someone in the desert who hadn't had a drink or food in days, you wouldn't give them a gallon of water and a buffet all at once, right? Nope, you give them nourishment in smaller increments or they get sick. They become stronger when the food and drink are pieced out.

Keep on truckin' bro.

Wow skrubby, what a great analogy my friend. Force feeding the sheep definitely won't get you anywhere...except being a sheepless wanna be Shepherd. We have to coax them to us gently, showing them love and patience and kindness, and the next thing you know we can hand feed them and share the Lord's love with them. Wooohooo gentle and meek.

luv ya skrubby

skrubby, the Lord is definitely working through you my friend. Yes He is proud of you allowing His light to shine through you. Just remember the changes you are beginning to see is Him in you, not you Hope that made sense.

As for the snowstorm...whew now I know why I live in Texas.

Yes you are going through many trials, but as you are noticing those trials are becoming easier and easier to get through, and that my friend is who Jesus truly is. He is our friend, our helper, our comforter and our savior.

Keep doing the steps skrubby. You are doing great.

luv ya

Skrubby,

I heard on TV not too long ago "Satan doesn't mess with those he already controls". Meaning, you are a threat to him now and he's gonna pull every trick in the book to separate you from God. He's pretty slick. Always gotta be on your toes. But you are one smart guy and you got the Holy Spirit on your side.

Love ya, bro!

Oh skrubby good questions my friend. Yes we need to forgive Satan of the attacks he has on us. The reason is unforgiveness draws you down and takes away your virtue. So if your always upset with the things Satan is trying to do to you, then how can you truly focus on God? You can't. So what you have to do, is just let it all go. It's not worth being upset over anyway.

It's wonderful to hear your score has increased. This tells me that the Lord is definitely changing you skrubby. I'm so happy for you.

luv ya my friend

Skrubby, yes this study does mean business. In fact, the Lord has a plan for you shortly. Keep growing in Him. Keep allowing Him to use you, and teach you. You only have one more day of this study to go, but there's a whole lifetime of learning for you to do with Jesus. Just make sure you continue to build on the foundation, that has begun. The journey just gets more glorious from here, as He will be worthy of all the glory that He gets from using you.

luv ya
