The Things I Know To Be True

The Lord can find us, even when we are running from Him.

God can and will carry us, for as long as we need, when no one else will at all.

The rebuilding of our lives, through transforming our brains with new thoughts, and hearts with new desires, is a true and real process.

God can, and will turn even the most difficult trials, tribulations, and turmoil, into the greatest of blessings. Even such things as emotional damage, gender identity issues, mental illnesses such as schizophrenia, terminal illnesses such as cancer, and even grotesque addictions such as pornography, into something sanctifying, which gives us redemptive compassion. For as we come unto Christ, no experience is wasted, and nothing is lost, or without cause or purpose.

We are never lost unto our Father, for He will sustain, forgive, heal, free, and bring us back safely home to Him again.

Turning to Christ, rather than to some other source or thing with our deepest, most horrific hurts, anguish, and pains, by getting to know our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and drawing upon His atoning aid, is the answer and the solution to all our soul’s deepest wants and needs.

Learning to know Christ, and understand His atonement and grace, will enable us to live with Christ’s life in us, and for Him to heal our brokenness.

Doing the experiment of replacing all negative media, such as TV, movies, books, music, and all other forms of media, which push the Spirit out of us, and replacing it with anything virtuous, lovely, of good report, or praiseworthy, will set our hearts and feet on the path, hungering and thirsting after righteousness, and with this, we will indeed be filled with righteousness. This will indeed transform our souls, and change our eternal future, making us true disciples of Jesus Christ, filling us with joy, and giving us a powerful spirit of missionary influence.

Once on the covenant path in this manner, doing all these things necessary for covenant living, becomes a joyful, natural part of who we are. We will conscientiously find ourselves praying about every little thing we need help with, feasting abundantly upon the vast library of spiritual knowledge and resources we have available from the prophets and leaders of His gospel, and longing for and running to the Temple for solace, strength, and exaltation. This is what we crave. This is who we are, soldiers who are ready, fighting with the forces of the Most High, Almighty God, for His kingdom.

With this, we will shut Satan down, and we will, with total victory! We will have a new channel of revelation open unto us, living with the Gift of the Holy Ghost, and being wholly guarded and protected against all the forces of evil, amassing in these the final times. We will have pure confidence to face all the good and hard choices and circumstances we’ll have to. We will be ready, willing, and able.

This is our course, to discover who we really are, and what our ordained and anointed callings and missions are, in which we were set apart in the courts on high, prior to our sojourn here on this beautiful earth, in this the most important time of life, where what we do really matters.
