Stated like a true [ex] JW - LOLOLOLOL! "Well, Shelby, you don't SOUND repentant!" Tell me, dear Glad... what does "genuine humility" LOOK like?
Peace unto you my dear Shelby. Our Lord has instructed me that it is not yours to determine who sounds like a a JW, ex or otherwise, particularly given your recent personal predictions of doom against people in such a JW fashion. Much as Moses claimed glory for himself when our God brought forth water from the rock, you claim glory for yourself when you determine who sounds judgmental and who does not. That honor is not your says our Lord.
Our Lord instructs me to tell you true humility does not involve your own personal proclomations, that to be truly humble involves listening to asll and most importantly our Lord.
And after every humiliating "battle" with some of you, I hear HIM say to me: "Well done, child. Now, let ME refresh you."
Shelby, our Lord instructs me to remind that you are not doing battle, but relating a message at best, which you have strayed from. It is for our Lord to do battle. He instructs me to remind you that you are not a warrior to do battle, that you should not attempt to assume his mantle.
I STATE who it is for.
Shelby, our Lord instructs me to remind you that is it he, not YOU in your MOSES like fashion, to state who it is for. He wishes you to remain humble in his eyes and not take his glorious mantle upon yourself and attempt messages or judgement.
Why does MY claim bother you more... any more... than any other "christians" comments?I will answer: fear.
And therein, as our Lord instructs me to respond, lies the problem, my dear Shelby. YOU answer, not our Lord. You presume to answer in his stead rather than to allow him to answer as he sees fit. He asks why you attempt to stand in front of him, to assume his knowledge, his wisdom and his judgement? Woe unto you, foolish woman, that sees fit to assume the mantle of our Lord and speak uninspired in his name!
The answer from our Lord is that it does not bother anyone, but that your running ahead and presumptiousness is apparent to all and that he has sent them to correct you, that even if they did not speak, the stones would cry it out to you.
What did you say? You DON'T fear me? Then why are you trying to silence me? If I am NO threat (and I am not, but for some reason some can't see that)... why not allow me MY freedom of speech?
Our Lord has seen fit to remind you that no one is depriving you of freedom of speech, that they simply question you. Our Lord reminds you that you are not a victim and to take strenth from him and not presume to declare what others can and cannot see since you yourself cannot see the rafter in your own eye. He instructs me to remind you that your speech should be from him and to not act as Moses and claim it as your speech.
But, I CHOOSE to give you the benefit of the doubt that, in spite what it APPEARS like to me,
Shelby, our Lord instructs me to reminf that it is not you that chooses or judges, but him and that what things appear to be you, his servant, are of no consequence since it belongs not to you to judge or to question, but to deliver messages.
