Those who can't do teach part 2 :The honest and rare truth?
Those who can't do teach part 2 :The honest and rare truth?
An extremely painful road do you have to follow now you son of man. It should have started when you was a child
(which I suppose why school was invented) but alas do or die
You have been given many chances to turn from your ways or walk on the ways to life to take up your cross and follow the good shepherd who leads you to green pastures but you must be stripped of your will and simply follow as a sheep follows their shepherd
So as an adult unlike those who have suggested always ignore other people sometimes it is very necessary
"When a man's ways please the LORD He makes even his enemies to be at peace with him"
You have been given the hope of a reward when you see the King of Kings so follow Me now says our LORD
Unlike what those liars say that the LORD leads you down to death He leads you to green pastures so be encouraged He just needs you to follow the Shepherd and feed on Him when He gives food
He burdens not His sheep with tasks beyond their ability. But He died that we may live unto Him. He was stripped of His will so that you become stripped of yours
You will fight many internal wars perhaps such as why should I work for money I will not use. I supposed money was created to deal with our weakness and wanting many things and to make sure noone goes to poverty
believe Me it is in God's plan that you obey Him that you may eat of the good of the land those against prosperity for Christians are liars. It is the ways of the LORD that lead to wealth. The diligent will rule
So as the church says Let Go and Let God
I suppose that means Let God vindicate your cause and make justice for the elect
What I am trying to say is there is no time for pleasure when voices around you are rebuking your destructive ways. It seems the LORD wants us to lay down our life in the right season yet providing all our needs and provides for the time of rest and harvest. I find it hard to believe that He would not want us to enjoy our life so I am guessing He does but in the proper time.
So what He is going to leave me alone and afflicted being in the body
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous but the LORD delivers him from them all
what if He does not deliver me by making me feel happy and being able to socialise with others? what if He does not care about my needs but I have to solve my own problems?
The LORD will take what concerns you a believer in Him very seriously
"Proverbs 15:19 The way of the lazy man is like a hedge of thorns,
But the way of the upright is a highway.
Proverbs 15:20 A wise son makes a father glad,
But a foolish man despises his mother.
Proverbs 15:24 The way of life winds upward for the wise,
That he may turn away from hell[d] below.
Proverbs 15
31 The ear that hears the rebukes of life
Will abide among the wise.
32 He who disdains instruction despises his own soul,
But he who heeds rebuke gets understanding.
33 The fear of the Lord is the instruction of wisdom,
And before honor is humility.
Proverbs 10:16
The labor of the righteous leads to life, The wages of the wicked to sin.
Why would Jesus say He came to give us abundant life and that there are thieves who come to seek to kill and to destroy?
Wealth and riches are in the house of the righteous
I promised dad when uni starts I will be off this forum
The problem I have with obedience is God can not do anything for me. He can not rid me of those who destroy my life in the proper way with no negative consequences I do not trust Him
To prosper in something you need many patient people willing to teach
so it seems we are forced to poverty because thats what we want as good people to set others free

so I think of distractions that will help me when I feel like wishing I was never born as God is placing suffering on me at all times if I want to make Him happy and provide for my family which I can not have without money
but it seems I have to ignore all distractions
It is greed or impatience which is controlling me. I want to be a perfectly rounded individual quickly and demonstrate my wisdom above others, wisdom that makes the world a better place
I really believe the purpose of life is not to suffer but to enjoy it so you should do a career that you enjoy
I enjoy engineering which is why I am doing it. I am very poor in some parts of it such as practicals but I think I can
get better. You can learn to enjoy anything so I am trying to make work my number 1 priority to enjoy it.
When I think to myself you are poor because you work hard but have no wisdom to make wealth it hurts me
but I believe we must say If the LORD wills we will live and do that and hard work is more important that trying to be wise I just have to learn to be content
