Ello folks!

[SHINY4UJESUS]

I am a 35 year old man who is active in full time ministry, soon to publish a new Christian resource e book, and brand new to the site. Saved May 5, 2002 and willing to follow Jesus through every fiery trial and dark valley without hesitation. Like Paul; God has granted me a great deal of scriptural insight, but that said, I am far from the finished product and happy to 'sharpen my iron' here as I continue to learn and grow in Christ. Like Peter; my intentions are always directed towards pursuit of Christ, but also like Peter, an uncommon passion sometimes cause me to "get a bit ahead of God," or ''miss the mark," a tad. I had many struggles in early years, dealing with backsliding, and that has been the motivation to be obedient to God's calling on my life to launch a ministry called Return to Grace: Restoring Those That Fall Away.It's purpose is to combat backsliding, educate the body so we may recognize signs a belliever is beginning to slide so we can help them halt that slide before they fall away; break the chains of external and self condemnation that contribute to this fragmenting of the Body of Christ; and to be obedient to LUKE 15 and our call to seek those who fall away..that they too may return to grace! Thanks n God Bless!

Welcome again in Jesus' name. Your goals are high, your training assured in Christ as He works in us all to will and to do of his good pleasure, and the sufferings you mention is one of the tools God uses in our lives to have His very best. I look forward to your input, and I'm sure you'll find many agreeing with the much you seem to have to say.

Right. It was amazing in church yesterday; the message about ministry. It has been three years of prayer, study, meditation, and constant work to launch the ministry; yet in 3 months we have seen no fruit yet. It was beginning to be difficult fighting the enemy and his idea that maybe I had heard God wrongly; but yesterday's message was perfectly timed and a huge encouragement. It's interesting that one of the sermon points ws how God often uses our unenviable experiences to mold us, equip us, and prepare us for the calling he has for us. This is a poignant illustration of how God has used my past to create a present that shows great potential for a positive impact on the kingdom in the future. Would you perhaps know which forum may be best to present my personal full testimony? I would like folks to have a deeper understanding of who I am, what God has brought me through and where He has me today; this why it may be clearer exactly why God has placed this specific calling in my life

I'll say this from experience that the longer it is the fewer there are that will even take a look at it, but I have posted Pamphlets I wrote and have had good responses. If I remember correctly there is a 10,000 character limit to each post including spacing, but if you get cut off just shorten the present post you're writing, and then continue on the subsequent post. Enjoy the blessing although the task can be heavy.
