Rev. Ware I just wanted to comment on your answer to the genital man's post about Vision For The People. Derek is my brother and he has been talking to me about a lot of the same topics you have discussed with him. I think Vision for the People is a great tool to get the word out. I thank Jesus for your answer. I will not call names here as I feel that may invade privacy of a very good friend of mine. But, this friend along with others have often made the statement to me "How do we know the Bible is true? How do we know that we are studying the Right God?" I have tried to defend the Bible in the name of Christ so many times and I am looked at as if I am crazy or I have no idea what I am talking about. Or my answers are question with questions what if? It's like they will ask me questions in a manner that they want to know but then when I try to answer them they really don't wanna here the answer. I tell this person or persons that I am learning these things myself but that I have experience enough of God's Love, Patients and the touch of the Holy Ghost to know that he is real and he is Great and all deserving of my love and faithfulness. I have often found myself in frustration because I am unable to explain things partially because I do not fully understand them and most likely because there are just somethings that are not meant for me to understand nor should I question. It is the way it is because GOD said so. You summed it quite nicely in your posted answer.

Hello, welcome to the boards. I just wanted to open and respond by saying, its really nice to know that so many people are fighting God's fight. I will also tell you not to fight to the point of anger. You are NOT crazy, you are enraptured by God's presence and you have a sense of Faith in your midst. Don't let it go.
Worldly people who do not undertand God's grace are not our enemy, they are confused by the enemy. You are better set to fight God's fight with a smile and spiritual progress rather than to get locked in a war of words.
Always be careful when fighting monsters lest you become one yourself.
Rev. Ware

I never knew just how hard this was going to be, I know that I must keep my faith and hold strong in knowing God will lead me and protect me. I wanted to respond to the point of fighting to the point that you are angry. Just this afternoon I went to my husband about some things that I have been thinking about. He flat out told me I needed to stop talking to my brother about these things. That he was not going to have our children terrified because of some Crazy stuff ...only he didnt say it so nicely. He said you are going to keep on and you are going to be in a mental institution by this time next year. I said so you are going to have me committed? He said no your going to drive yourself there because you are talking insane none of what you are saying makes since. Well to make a long story short. I had to calm myself down ... I said... ok you can believe what you want... and I will believe what I believe.... I can do no more...all I can do is pray. He wanted to keep on...I said stop, it's over! I will not talk to you about this again...all I can do is pray. If this bothers you that bad that I can not discuss it with you with out you jumping to the conclusion I am crazy then that is fine...I won't argue with you...but I will still believe what I choose and I will continue to pray. He said Im not saying I don't believe in God...he said I feel God...I said are you saved? He answered that question with the question "Are you"? I said yes I am, he laughed and said ok. I said to him I truely don't believe God would have blessed me with the gift he gave me in church Sunday had I not been saved. He simply said Ok whatever. It was left at that. My heart is troubled from this because I want so deeply for him to be by myside in this fight for Jesus Christ. I want him near me and under God's shield of protection as well as my children to help me do God's will. I have told him that I can not tell him what day and time these events will happen because that no man knows. It may happen and feel that it is going to happen very soon...but it may not be in our life time. It may not be something we see but our heirs for years to come will. But I want to be prepared so if it does happen in our life time I have done what I could do and the rest I must leave to God. All of this happened about 30 mins. or so of me deciding to look and see if you had had a chance to respond to my earlier post. Again Thank God for your Words!
The words "You are not CRAZY" stood out to me as if God was telling I am not Crazy. So I just wanted to take this time to say thank you for working for Jesus Christ and taking your time to respond to me... a perfect stranger whom you did not have to pay the lest little bit of attention to and my thoughts. And thank Jesus for giving me the strength and salvation that I am going to need to win this battle. I will not give up on my husband. I have to put it in God's hands. I will pray and pray with all I have and thank Jesus everyday for all he has done.
Sincerely
Teresa

Hello,
You know, the signs have been in place for a long time. I say so many times not to get distracted by the signs and omens either. Its a distraction inside of a distraction. The Lord did not give us the spirit of fear, but rather the spirit of power. Take power over the adversary by not buying in to his constant machinations. Remember that if you place God first, all things will sort its way out.
The danger in arguing with your husband is losing his attention and him becoming resentful to God. Its better to attract flies with honey than with vinegar.
Just show love and the Chrsit inside and God will make a way for you to better get your husband's ear. We all fall short of His glory, but be careful not to fall short on His behalf.
That passion that you are showing is God's divine touch. Right now your husband may just be afraid. Take a gentle hand with him until he too see's the light.
Rev. Ware
