It was your suggestion to go to YouTube that worked! I gave up on Blogger. Thanks so much. I think doing this was a major out of the box move for me! lol BB His Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17323556614583246461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722057218825209767.post-21973024926674246272009-12-10T20:40:20.518-06:002009-12-10T20:40:20.518-06:00We are called to be salt and light.

I have noticed alot of them come across my path and my facebook. It always takes me back...where do they come up with this stuff?<br /><br />Kelly's comment is sadly true. We all need to read John 17. It seems the devil has a foothold in our unity. I think it stems from flawed understanding/ lack of study of scripture.Kathy Schwankehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16575973280157910643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722057218825209767.post-86772601038024376762009-12-10T14:04:01.539-06:002009-12-10T14:04:01.539-06:00Thank you Edie.

We need to be keeping our eyes focused on God and our thoughts deeply in prayer and listening to the voice of God to be willing to act in His behalf. <br /><br />Love and Hugs ~ KatHeart2Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05240536955573366802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722057218825209767.post-26627424688731899962009-12-10T11:07:12.903-06:002009-12-10T11:07:12.903-06:00You know, I've found that even as Christians t...You know, I've found that even as Christians together if one Christian makes a stand the rest are like "who does SHE think she is, or Holier than thou" comments. It is hard to follow God INTENTLY even in a Christian community. God's word has been watered down by "us."<br /><br />I can't wait to keep reading.

First, they go against the currents, until they see a huge one coming that takes them back to shore.<br /><br />As Christians, we must do the same. We are not to go with the "flow" of this world. It's only by His strength that we can overcome these currents, and find that big wave. <br /><br />I see the bliss on those surfers' faces as they ride in glory with the powerful wave. As others watch the whole time, until they reach the sandy shore.<br /><br />May we ride for God's glory as others watch us leave those precious prints of a godly character before we even reach Home. Prayerfully, may others join us for this precious ride.<br /><br />I would love to take this journey with you. Blessings to you sister. God bless. Have a blessed Christmas.RCUBEshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726426726039665564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722057218825209767.post-86029968315411172772009-12-10T09:28:34.664-06:002009-12-10T09:28:34.664-06:00I'm so with you!
I was one of those Christians...I'm so with you!<br />I was one of those Christians who I call "pickers and choosers" of the Word. If I didn't agree with it then I didn't live by it. Boy, that sure cause a lot damage.<br /><br />"The battle is spiritual but plays itself out in the physical aspects of our lives." When I understood this and the victory that Jesus gave to me through His blood, I run with it. And my life as never been the same...Praise God!!! <br /><br />Love and Hugs,<br />TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15204911845335416211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722057218825209767.post-15344684890291487322009-12-10T09:09:24.570-06:002009-12-10T09:09:24.570-06:00You are so right.

I have put it in a post but have not posted it yet. What you've said makes me realize that I should follow what I feel God is telling me to do and quit listening to the enemy. Of course there will be people who will not accept it but if just one person does that makes two of us and one by one we can change our world. We just need to put out there what we are feeling led to do by God and then let Him take care of what happens and how others wlll react. I'm going to post it on my Christmas Blog today and to God be the glory. Thank you for helping me see what I should do.<br />Blessings, my friend,From the Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06612517670775886165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722057218825209767.post-876089581537392542009-12-10T08:00:25.326-06:002009-12-10T08:00:25.326-06:00Great post, Edie!

So often I start to read posts and start...to....drift.....away.....but this held my attention and spoke to me. <br />"Don't search to prove your own view correct but search for the Truth."<br />I liked that. It is too easy to twist words around and read them as we want to see them rather than what is staring us in the face.<br /><br />There was something about the word "Intently" in the bible verse Matthew 19:26, that made me invision Christ sitting there, staring into the eyes of his followers, and teaching them his Word.<br /><br />Thanks again for a great post.<br />Have a wonderful day!My ADHD Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12355981755069167730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2722057218825209767.post-51629930093355415882009-12-10T07:35:50.275-06:002009-12-10T07:35:50.275-06:00Change begins with prayer.

We may see something wrong with the world and desire to change it, yet feel so powerless, which can lead to ignorance or apathy.<br /><br />You have spelled out so beautifully here that God can take us down a very different road. We need to share our hearts with Him, so He can lead us to the Truth and make those permanent changes in our hearts, which can lead to clarity of mind and speech and action and everything else! Yes, ONLY God has the power to make such changes....<br /><br />BUT, they CAN BE REALITY! And that's where faith comes in.<br /><br />Wondering what He has shared with you and where His journey in you will lead. Hard not to be inspired looking at someone on fire for His kingdom!
