Fruit

The warrior remembers the past. He knows about man's Spiritual Quest, he knows that this Quest has been responsible for some of history's finest pages.
But also some of history's worst chapters: massacres, sacrifices, obscurantism. It was used for personal ends and has seen its ideas used to defend the most terrible of intentions.
The warrior has heard people ask: "How am I to know that the path I am on is the right path?" And he has seen many people abandon their quest because they could not answer that question.
The warrior has no doubts; he follows one infallible saying:
"By their fruits ye shall know them," said Jesus. That is the rule he follows, and he never goes wrong.

| About Me: | In autumn 2007; after a severe depression; after a crisis in faith; repentance, forgiving, crying and "dying" from all illutions of me I found myself in the state of empty. Me was gone; nothing left?....I clearly saw Jesus alone and abandoned on the cross, and this filled me with immence sorrow. One morning a couple of days later...I woke up and tried to collect what was left of me, all I could come up with was: I really want to walk the pilgrim-path in Spain. Nothing more. Suddenly I was filled with the most beautiful, complete, pure, and powerful precence of love. This all happened instantly, from total emptyness and depression, to pure love in a split second. I was awstruck, since this happening I've been on a pilgrim-path allright; but clearly not the one in Spain:o) I've been searching for this Divine Love.. Reading the bible, memorising scriptures,learning about forgiveness, sharing, love, light, faith, freedom, respect, togetherness, friendship,accseptance, peace, honesty and being open about what is in me, laying my inner self open before God..........Yes it was hard to rise up again; but my spirit was filled with hope, and love.....and grace from something bigger than me; grace from God. When strong enough, God has moved me closer to His Word; to learn the truth from the Bible, ( when I was weak I couldn't eat all the words from the holy scripture, I wasn't capable to take them in, it was all to big and scary ). Now I'm fully recovered, but I still feel God is testing my faith trough fire; for as the word say; it's from the love of God that he want's us to mature and grow trough His love; by His grace the amazing gift of salvation trough His only begotten Son Jesus Christ. And as I confess with my mouth that He is our Lord, and believe in my heart that God our Father raised Him up from death to life; that He is alive now in flesh and blood, seated beside God in heaven.....who poures out the Spirit of truth; the Holy Spirit upon mankind, so we will not be left alone,...comforted by His Spirit... Thinking about God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit consumes me now; and has become what I'm living for. I long to be righteous before God, and that my faith is strong enough to be this; righteous before God. To stay in His love, and by this also rest in His peace. My soul witness that He loves me; and that He want's me to tell to people that they are deeply loved by Him. I got baptised at December 7th -08, and when I picture Jesus Christ now; the cross and the grave is empty; and He is standing in front of me smiling; with His arms open...Oh how I love this man!!!Jesus Christ!!!..... and this is pretty much how I would describe myself now. I love to get friendmail; so please write me. READ THIS: 1 Peter 1:3-12. ( espesially 1 Peter 1:8!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) |
