Jeremy thanks for your comments alot of this i never really thought about before until you provoked me to seek the truth in the word it is what we all should be doing finding the truth for ourselves God wants to reveal mysterys if we are open to hear.If we have been christians awhile we just
take the word of whoevers preaching or whichever clip we see on god tube its knowledge but
not revelation.Because the story sounds plausible we tag that on to our belief for example for many years i believed that the rich young rulers problem was money so the way to deal with that problem is to give it
away and be a follower of Jesus sounds plausible.Till you realise every believers situation is different so the message has to be universal.So the reason its
not about money because it excludes those that do
nt have it and does
nt make room for those that do have it but do
nt worship it.The rich young ruler was
not a bad person he lived by a good moral code but he made money his idol he put that before God.The word says we shall
not have any idols thats a
sin and a wicked one.In fact there wasnt any room in his heart for Jesus that is a tragedy.So when we see the message is about Idolatry we all have areas that we chose
not to submit to God thats universal everyone of us whether we are rich or poor.I believe we are unaware that we have these idols what are some of them that was revealed to me our partners our children our work our church our family i can sense some of you are getting fidgetty.

Rick the more i think about it we are to live as overcomers
not strugglers since the day i decided to turn
away from the

not once, was i tempted many many times.The Lord will work in our lives one area at a time he needs us to give him full control so if an area is
taking control we do need to hand it to him so he can change us.How do we do it immediately we say Lord you know i am weak but in you i am strong i leaned on him and overcame time and time again.We all have areas of weakness that we struggle in so do
nt feel bad.Struggling is us trying to do it in our own strength before this process i was so stubborn i refused to let God help me i wanted to do it in my own strength and so it was a roller coaster ride in my christian walk if the day went well i was on a high if it did
nt i would would be down.
Not any more now when things do
nt go to plan i still thank the Lord and when it goes well i thank the Lord.Because i know that all things work for good to those who love the Lord.The main area he is wanting is our hearts he wants all our heart
not only some until we come to that place we will continue to struggle in our faith.The only reason to tell you this is
not to boast because of what i have done in myself because i have nothing to boast about but if i did i would brag that Christ has empowered me by his holy spirit to be an overcomer just as he would want you to be.As Christians we are all called to be overcomers more than conquerers.Make a decision today to turn all your hearts to the Lord to acknowledge the areas you are holding onto that are controlling your flesh life hand them to the Lord and walk according to the spirit and
not the flesh and he will give you the victory.That can be a reality starting today merry christmas everyone and may the new year be an exciting one as we put all our trust in Christ our Lord and savior.Brentnz

Racheal i do
nt believe that christians can commit the blasphemy of the holy spirit because the holy spirit has already
taken up residence in our hearts.As christians we can greive the holy spirit but we cant blaspheme him otherwise we wouldnt have accepted Christ.When we ask Christ into our lives we are saved the holy spirit comes into our lives because we gave him permission to.We can
sin and fall
away from God but he is still there because nothing can separate us from the love of God.On the day we die we are saved why because when we were sinners he saved us it isnt dependent on what we do it is dependent on what Christ has done.Should we continue to
sin of course
not but we should follow him with all our heart.I think it is important to understand that Christ death has saved us from our
sin the holy spirits role is to help us to overcome
sin in our lives and to be come christlike.brentnz

away from him... evil is blind and can't see the presence of god — that was God's course for rebelion... only a pure soul can be reach by the creator now that is

sin so even with a blind soul one can find the way to the creator and at one time if any find themselves in the presence fo the lord our God the reason we are here...
