| Bladeless Scissors |

[u][b]Bladeless Scissors[/b][/u] by: TrinaBinaBear It's no longer like holding my breath; It's more of a sigh of letting go of those things which are Holding me back. How is it that we've all been tricked Into believing constant lies? How come so many people Don't see the urgency of this dire situation? It's not a religion; it's a lifestyle. It's not a weekly Encounter, but a daily process. Philisophical speech Won't cut it. It's like bladeless scissors. What is the Point of bladeless scissors? It will cut through very thin Things, but when it is really needed to do it's job, it's Useless. Bladeless scissors only get you so far... So ok, what you're saying sounds so professional, to the Blind, and so corect, to the mislead, but where is your Proof? On what are you basing your argument? Is it on The True Rock, or is it on a pebble? Why can't we see That we are being blinded by the look of the innocent?! It's a serious thing. I wanna know. Make it clear to me. Why is it so easy to Choose the counterfeit? Isn't Christ's eternal quality More important than this worldly, hellbound, fleshy quantity? We say to each other, "Be real with me.", but we learn To accept constant falsity? Let's wake up folks, and see that we are living in a fog. Look for the deeper things. Squint your eyes if you Can't see. Search the scriptures for the clarity... |
| Fasting: It's True Meaning |
| 04.20.05 (7:53 pm) [edit] |

[b][u]"What I have learned from fasting for a day."[/u][/b] Ok, I never knew that I could see so much clearer. I am hungry like crazy, but still, I see things clearer. My attitude is better. I wasn't bitterly jealous about anything today. I denied myself to my daily conversational pleasures to keep a promise. My gastrointestinal problems have gone away."What I have learned from fasting for almost a day (for the right reason)." When I just read Isaiah, it said that fasting is more than the physical thing. It is living everyday like a fast (feeding the hungry, clothing the poor, caring for those in need, and showing the love of Christ everywhere to everyone despite what our flesh wants.) Seriously, I would not want to help any enemy in any way (except if I wanted my fellow man to see how humbled I was appearing by helping my enemy). So, I have learned to live life as a fast, almost like a non-physical circumcision. This is what is really important. God already said, "Ask and you shall receive." All I have to do is ask God for what I want and He will gladly do it. Why should I depend on works to save me and provide me with my desires? It didn't work without before Christ came, and now that Christ is here, we are free indeed, so that, whatever our hearts desire is (as long as it lines up with His will) it will be granted by the powerful name of Jesus Christ. I am God's biological daughter. My daddy will give me anything :) It's time to stop with traditions, and live for God everywhere we breathe. It's time to put aside all grudges, jealousies, stupid quarrels, hate, and anything that can separate us from God because of our own selfish ambition. It's time to constantly be a blessing to those in need, esspecially if we have abundant resources to help. If you have extra paper in class, give a lot of it to someone who doesn't. If you have a wonderful skill in a specific area where someone is lacking, offer to help them with it. Get ice for that teacher. Listen to the problems of that Christian brother or sister. If you have an extra sandwich, share it with someone who is hungry. See clearer the good in people. Don't stop at what you think is the end of the painting, but go so closer to the portrait so that you can see its true meaning. Search the hearts of men. See what their motives are. Pray for them. Make sure they know that you care about their well-being. Leave a great impression of God on their lives so that when they hear "Christian" they can say, "Oh, I knew someone who was a Christian and was always such a blessing." If Christ, who ruled everything that has existed (and will ever exist) came to earth and became a hunble servant, how much more should we serve since we are merely the dust of the ground?! It's time to stop giving God only our Bible study time, and only our Sunday worship. It is time to give Him every moment we live, and every talent that we have. [i]"Blessed are those who walk not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sit in the seat of the scornful, but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in this law doth he meditate day and night?"[/i] What do you think that means? Meditate continously on God's Word. Don't sit or converse with those who are mockers, and contain "philosophical worldy wisdom" that only comes from human understanding. People like that like to see trouble occur, and in the end will only receive trouble themselves. Warn our fellow Christian brothers and sisters about this. If we are to meditate on the Word of God, that means through every moment of the day, for in this, the Lord delights. As a writer, it is so satisfying to see (or read about) someone reading something that I wrote and getting joy out of it. I never know who may be touched by what I write, but God knows who He will touch with His words [Bible], so don't you think that the thrill is so much greater for Him :) ? Brothers and sisters, go on a fast that will last. Live your life to please God at all costs. He is not as interested in the physical things, as he is in the spiritual. Our physical bodies pass away, but if we have God's spirit living within us, then we have a spirit that will never pass away! We don't have that much time, so spread the Word that Christianity is not a religion full of traditions, [u]do's[/u] and [u]don'ts[/u]. It is a Godly lifestyle that is [i]life-giving[/i]. Do not think that you are above this Word because you are saved. You are only saved through God's grace, not by anything that you have done. You can fast all day everyday, but if you don't do it for the correct reasons, and you do not accept the free gift of Jesus Christ, then you are really just wasting your time. This is not about what we can do to be saved, it's about how God shed His grace on us, and provided a way to be saved in which we should daily give thanks. |
