Single-mindedness, Integrity, and Diligence Through Grace: 2 Timothy 2:1-7, Part 4

[@colecalloway1735]

This is wonderful and so helpful, especially connecting the strengthening grace of verse 1 to the exhortations and promises.

I have been faithless in dealing with my past of porn, sexual fantasy and the seed-offspring of that past: I also now see that my fight is bigger than lust and overcoming the residue - remnants of such a past. This aids me in understanding why I must beat my flesh into submission; why I must wage war against my mind and senses and body; why I am called to serve and honor and glory and glorify Him - I have been enlisted. I am a soldier. I am to be single-minded in carrying out the duties of my service, not allowing distraction, not being a bad soil that my charge doesn't take root; I am a soldier caught in a game designed by the Evil One and in this, because I am a soldier in Christ, I play to win a crown - to overtake a runner of deception, self, pride, willful negligence and lack of Single-mindedness - focus! I am to be a soldier that I am fighting spiritual war games and in this I am charged to be: Single-minded True integrity of soldering, soldiering, RUNNING and caring and carrying on the business of glorifying God - As I spread the seed of God's word about the course I am running so that I plant, water with the drops of sweat from my athletic running - I soldier on. Focus. Focus. Focus. Fighting. Pushing. Moving forward as a shock trooper - I soldier in Christ through suffering on the battlefield. Sporting, I run an athletic run to win the prize of the upward call to glory in Jesus. I soldier on through the suffering of the run and the planting of God's word throughout the course - the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Cultivating as a farmer, I soldier on through the run of my life, planting seed on the narrow road that leads to eternal life, watering every step by the dripping, shakened off sweat of my brow pouring from me as I run... Run the race of faith. Single-mindedness. Integrity. Cultivating. May God lead me to grow and develop in this study and overcome the remnants of wicked action. Purify me oh God! GLORY O LORD! In Jesus I pray for us all.

Dear brothers and sisters i greet you in our Lord Jesus Christ Four years ago, I began to engage in faith. I started here in Croatia in the catholic church to visit mass and to read The Holy Scriptures. Very early on, I noticed that what is taught and practiced in the catholic church contradicts the Holy Scriptures and what Jesus taught us. In addition, some things in the Holy Bible were unclear to me and raised additional questions and doubts, such as: - If our God is the God of love and justice, why are we punished for the sins of Adam? Doesn't that contradict the principles of love and justice? An earthly father who is full of faults and weaknesses would not do such a thing, then how can we think such a thing about our Perfect Father? - How can a loving father throw his child forever in the hell? That also contradicts these principles. And besides, in 1 Timothy 2; 3 + 4: "For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth." So, if this were really so, that in spite of His will, people will be brought forever to hell and not saved, this would mean that He can not enforce His will and thus He is not the omnipotent God, if we follow these doctrines believe. - Why does it say in some passages that Jesus is the Son of God, in others the Son of Man and in others that He and God are one? Although I kept going to the Catholic Mass, at home I no longer practiced the prayers of the catholic church, but started talking like a child to my Father (Matthew 6: 7 + 8 ). After a short while, I got the answer to everything. He guided me through a friend of my mother to the revelations of Bertha Dudde. Now I know that the Bible does not contradict itself. God can not contradict himself. The truth is not in the word, in the letter, but in the understanding, in the interpretation of it. Now I know that Jesus is God and our Father in heaven, and I understand all the processes and contexts, and through this I have come to know that He is the perfect Love and not the strict, punitive God. As he promised us in John 14; 21: "He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. " 16; 12 + 13: "I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. " 16; 25: "These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. " In the revelations of Bertha Dudde, His promise was fulfilled, just as every other of His promises was and will be fulfilled, for He never quits (Titus 1: 2) because His word is truth (John 17; 17) and all that will happen is what He said has (Hebrews 10; 23, Ezekiel 12; 25:28, etc.) My loved brothers and sisters, I ask you not to blindly believe me, but as written in 1 Thessalonians chapter 5 verses 19-21: " Quench not the Spirit. Despise not prophesyings. Prove all things; hold fast that which is good. " Before you begin to look, go into prayer and ask our Father Jesus Christ for enlightenment to put you in your heart, whether that's really His word or not. Do not read with your mind or knowledge, but with your heart, for knowledge (knowledge, understanding) puffeth up, love (heart) edifieth (1 Corinthians 8: 1), for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life (2 Corinthians 3: 6). kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHeuY56da7amZq8 My dear brothers and sisters, the situation in Christianity is alarming, frightening and very sad and for that very reason the end is near, the time is up. Only in a very small part are the fruits of the Spirit (Galatians 5; 22) recognizable, and thus only a very few truly belong to Christ, for only those who enjoy the fruits and grow in them are of his (Romans 8: 9). "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge…" Hosea 4; 6 I wish you a blessed day my beloved brothers and sisters, May the Love of our Lord Jesus Christ shine through your heart and lead you into the truth.

The grace of Jesus is a must deliveried by commanders, champions, profesional farmers, not by cheap street preacer that only reliying to church members money.

[@kathleenwharton2139]

Single.mindness, integrity and diligence..Would Be..If this man actually Taught what Jesus Taught. He teaches a twisted version of something Jesus Never Said! Jesus Said.."We are to Teach and Obey Gods Commandments." This man teaches that Jesus Died so we don't have to bother with commandments! And that keeping commandments are "filthy rags" to God! That is certainly NOT What Jesus Said! Men's commandments..including this one of Pipers..is the filthy rags.

[@blckandwhtknight]

Kathleen your repeated attacks on John reveal your heart. With the measure we use it will be done to us. Please consider this and show grace. This message linked clearly contradicts your claims. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fojPaHmVfbuljZo

[@chrisx811]

Kathleen, they are filthy rags compared to trusting Jesus Christ himself, this is proven by the actions of the pharisees. It's a main theme of Jesus's work, do not trust in your own keeping of the commandments, but instead wholly on God!!

[@kathleenwharton2139]

+Josh K..I am Defending Jesus Here! This man does not even have the good sense to Teach what Jesus ask him too!

[@kathleenwharton2139]

+Chrisx811.. If You truly had Faith in Jesus..You Woud Know and Do What Jesus Said..instead of this mans twisted version of Jesus. He does not even have the good sense to teach what Jesus Ask him To. Jesus..Specifically..Ask You to Teach and Obey Gods Commandments! Jesus romped the Pharisees for teaching mans laws..NOT Gods Commandments. You are totally messed up listening to this man.
