Gods Will... [Do you know it?]

Gods Will [Do you know it?]

Romans 12:2 “And do not be conformed to this world, 

but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, 

that you may prove what is that good and 

acceptable and perfect will of God”

   Here are some secular words that are being rammed down our throats by the World and they are . . Confirmatory & [possibly the worst in my book] is Tolerance . . Well, um sorry [not sorry] but NO WAY on Gods green Earth! These words are biblical, so I do not accept them. If God never said it [that is, in His Bible] then it was not said by God or Jesus, I don’t see it being Gods will.

End of discussion, Mic drop moment.

   God never said we should bend over backwards to accommodate and water down our religion, from those who want nothing to do with God. We are to be ‘transformed’, in other words we think of righteous acts doing Gods will. It is asked what is the will of God? Well simple it’s his living Word, and we have it in our hands daily. “transformed by the renewing of your mind”, this leads us to a new way of thinking, a Better ~ Healthier ~ Mentally. The Bible will not tell you who to date, just equally yoked, but like myself who wrote down everything I wanted in a wife, and within 8 mths God brought us together and were married. I went from trying to do it in the natural to the supernatural because I was moving in Gods will.

   This is working under and in Gods will. “that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God” By handing over to god my problem it meant I stopped trying in my strength and surrendering fully to God. My prayer to Him went a little like this … “Not by strength buy by yours O Lord. I the past I have chosen the wrong lady or messed it some way. So I leave my need & want at your feet Lord, I’ll go to the places where other single Christians will meet”. I placed the description of whom I was looking for, into 1 Corinthians 13. Closed my Bible and said, OK God it’s over to you, as I know you’ll have someone in mind.

   Needless to say within 6mths, I met my ideal woman; proposed to her; she moved 535 miles, we got married. And we are still very happy, and am strong in the faith as we were 27yrs ago.

   So to closing let me remind you of what Romans 12:2 said, “not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind” .. or else we will not be Christians, and God can’t fully bless or help us in our time of need. Let me leave with this .. Revelation 2:19 I know your works, love, service, faith, and your patience, and your works the last the more than the first”

When fully committed to full faith in God and the

unseen anything is possible.

My Testimony --:Part 2

My Testimony

Part 2

   God was starting some special within me, I no longer had a thirst for booze, as that thirst had been replaced by a thirst for Christ Jesus my Lord. I felt like nothing I had ever felt before, and it was good. All the dark days were gone, where ever I went my bible, that adopted Grandma had bought and signed. I slept with it under my pillow, where I went it came with. Whilst Grandma Peggy was not an actual blood relation, she came a lot onto the ward with COPD and struck up a friendship from there, we would often have days out, she was a soft hearted and kind lady.

   I had not had much luck in finding that special lady with whom I could create a family, and share those intimate moments in life. I had read about an Asian Guy who wrote all the things he wanted in life, and put the details in his Bible. So changing the details into a description of my perfect woman on to a piece of paper prayed over the page, then put it into 1 Corinthians 13, which tells in detail what Christ feel love is all about, then say to God it was over to Him. I would go where like minded Christians would be, so that we would be equally yoked. . . 2 Corinthians 6:14 “Do not be unequally yoked together with unbelievers” … It took till we went to an AOG gathering for teaching the next April (1999)till I met Betty. During the 5 days I was there I went classes teaching us how to pray more effectively. On the Wednesday I went to an extra meeting where like minded gathered to pray for Northern Ireland and the republic too. I went along with Margaret, whom I told you of in Part 1, when the meeting had finished and we stood up she turned to see an old friend called Bob Edgar. Who happened to be with him, yep Betty. To this date Betty can me how was sat where in the room, and yet has no recollection of me, even though introduced to each other by Margaret & Bob. OK, time to reach for the bucket for this next bit, as you may well have seen these romantic photo’s of a couple where the outside of the photo is all blurred and rest is in a soft focus, well that is how I was shown Betty by God. That was enough of a hint for me, that was on the Wednesday.

   I did not see her again till the Friday afternoon, I on my way out of the camp for a walk to may be take some photo’s. Well just as I am heading towards the gate, who should be coming back in, yep Betty. Now most of you have some of the elaborate goal celebrations some footballers do, back flips and so forth. Well whilst trying be calm & cool, inside I was doing all sorts yes .. yes .. yes. Stopping I said hi, you remember us meeting on Wednesday afternoon with Bob & Margaret? Whilst not remembering because me say these 2 people she accepted what I was telling her. Betty has her own testimony leading up to this point that only she can tell, which is even more remarkable. Anyhow we spent the next couple of hours talking & walking, as this was the last day before I returned to Torquay and Betty back Northern Ireland. We met in the last meeting that night and spent till the wee hours talking.

   So we met on the 21st of April 1999, everyday we spent hours on the phone, mostly in the evening from 9pm on, so much so it became a standing joke that anyone calling us knew to call before then or forget it. This happened everyday, we would also write letters a couple of times a week as well. Betty came over to Torquay in the beginning of June and I proposed. My family had their doubts but once they knew of me selling all of my records to purchase a ring, they quietened down a little-bit, as they all knew NO-ONE touched my records. I then travelled in the first week of August to meet her family and formally asked her parents for Bettys hand in marriage, only for Betty’s mum said what about the rest of her.

   Betty moved over to Torquay in the 3rd week of August of 1999, yep the same year. In fact when worked our you’ll find it 6 months exactly from the date we met to our Wedding day on 6th November ‘99. . .

...since this time God has in so many ways through our lives they too many to count. Needless to say we have been blessed.

   I hope this has let to know the author of this blog more. As it nice to know whom it is I keep coming back to read. So thank you for coming back each time. Gods peace Love & hope be with you now and always.
