Default Re: Taipei conf / People Change

I went to the website mentioned..twoturmoils/people change.

I will quote what grabbed my attention and share my thoughts:

From the rebellion in the late 1980's, remember well Brother Lee’s
words in answer to a dissenting brother's question regarding John
Ingalls when he asked Brother Lee why in the past he had spoken well
of John but now he was warning others concerning him. Brother Lee
answered in two words, "People change."

To take Brother Lee’s word further, however, would be appropriate and fair since he actually did
answer in more than two words. He went on to say, “I can change” and “we all can change. So
we all need the Lord’s mercy”. If Benson wants to apply Brother Lee’s word to Titus in order to
convince others that Titus has changed, he must also open to the idea that he himself can change,
and that Witness Lee could have changed.


So here are my .05 worth:

Don't we ALL WANT to change? To be transformed into the image and likeness of our Dear LORD! After all, were we not created in the image and likeness of GOD?

One reason I embraced my eternal salvation..and it came in the mid 70's through the church in San Diego, was knowing there truly was HOPE for me to leave my old lifestyle behind me..I was excited to learn God was changing me from Glory to GLORY! That no longer would it be -me- that would live but CHRIST IN ME-the HOPE of GLORY!!!

I was excited as all GET OUT!! And I still AM!!

Goodness saints! I WANT MORE of JESUS and less of ME! I want us ALL to have more of JESUS and less of US!

We had that HOPE back then...I STILL cling on to that GLORIOUS HOPE because I am amazed how alive CHRIST in Me is...after all these years! I continue to press on...to run the race..to look to JESUS the AUTHOR and Perfector of my/OUR Faith.

So CHANGE is a GOOD THING...so long as we are changing into the image and likeness of our Blessed HOPE-CHRIST JESUS!!

Thank YOU LORD JESUS for being the HOPE of GLORY in me and in us all! We have reason to LIVE and reason to REJOICE!!

OPEN our EYES LORD JESUS!! Place in all of us the BURNING DESIRE to want more of YOU and less of US. Gather YOUR SAINTS, ALL the children of the MOST HIGH GOD under YOUR Headship. For YOU alone are worthy to be exhaulted! Your NAME is worthy to be PRAISED..to be HONORED..to be GLORIFIED as we humble ourselves with a most Grateful Heart filled with Thanksgiving for all you have done in us, through us and for us...YOU have begun a good work..a most EXCELLENT work in us LORD JESUS...and we are holding on to YOUR WORD that YOU WILL complete it in us through the work of the HOLY SPIRIT in US!! THANK YOU HOLY SPIRIT!! THANK YOU LORD JESUS!! THANK YOU ABBA GOD!!
