You don't have to fake Christ ...

salvation is free to the believer.  You don't have to hide your mistakes.  GOD is quick to forgive you.

I think the worse thing a person can be is untrustworthy. If GOD can't trust you with His WORD you are in bad shape.  Be careful before you jump out here calling yourself a man or woman of GOD.  People are watching you.  When you talk the talk, but refuse to walk the walk, you make all believers in Christ look bad.  You do more to hurt the "church".  You are destroying the Kingdom, not building up.

Jesus told you to be hot or cold.  Do you think GOD is like you?  Flattered when someone calls His name, pretends to love Him.  GOD is not fooled.  How can you attempt to deceive GOD when He knows every thing, the number of hairs on your head.  GOD knows what you are going to think before you think it!

If your faith is weak, pray for GOD to increase it,  to multiply it.  We are all equal in the eyes of GOD.  He loves us all the same.  Perhaps you need to forgive yourself.  It would help if you would confess your sins to the ones you wronged.  They would have more respect for you.

Don't assume their silence , acquiesce and outward signs of humility are sincere.  Remember, you are their mother, their first teacher.  Don't stake your life on their loyalty.   A blind squirrel can find a nut, and a lost sinner can be found.  We are all on our Damascus road, can be struck down with the Holy Ghost at any time.

"And as he journeyed, he came near Damascus: and suddenly there shined round about him a light from heaven:" (Acts 9:3)

Don't forget Saul had done much evil to GOD's saints at Jerusalem.  Martha, just like Saul you let the devil use you to inflict a lot of pain.  GOD told Ananias to go thy way, to go and heal Saul, to restore his sight.  " ... for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles, the kings and the children of Israel:" (Acts 9:15)

Could it be that I am like Ananias, sent to tell Martha to receive her sight, to be filled with the Holy Ghost?

I don't know.  I will continue to pray over it because nothing is too hard for GOD.  He has a purpose and a plan for every life.

Study the book of Acts Martha, particularly Acts 10:15 " ... What GOD hath cleansed, that call not thou common."

If you are trying to live for Christ and keep missing, keep trying.  Every time you fall down, get up, dust yourself off and try again.

Be abundantly blessed children.
