Re: Scoffers

I am not in captivity to sin. Jesus has set me free. I am a slave to righteousness,

If this were true, i would be very happy for you.  But i very clearly see flesh immersion in your behavior.

but I also know I am weak, and in need of the Lord every moment.

My strength comes only from the Lord and i need Him every moment too, so we have finally found some common ground.  Where we are different is that am so nearly dead to my old nature through unrelenting prayer towards this which brought major breakthrough and continued daily prayer for this, that the Holy Spirit who lives in me truly has been given the reigns.  My heart is connected to the Father's heart every minute of every day and when i coast, i coast holy... but of course i am completely reliant upon the Lord every second of every day who does this for me.   It is quite obvious that your struggle against sin continues to be quite a bit stronger than mine.  Your flesh remains very strong and you need to crucify it.  

Joni Tada puts it nicely how I believe in her devotional today, and I agree with her that closeness to the Lord will show itself in humility. I've for sure got work that needs to be done in that area, but you sure do too.

Humility to me is living in complete surrender to the Lord which is something i very much have.  Your will Lord, not mine be done.  I want only to live pleasing unto you, doing everything you ask.  If there is any sin in me Lord, please reveal it to me now so that i can immediately repent of it.  I want to live holy unto you Lord, only by your Spirit, taking every thought captive and bringing it into obedience to You.  I love you Lord, everything about you and all that you love.  Please keep me in your will because i never want to step outside of it even for a second.

Humility to you is believing you have to remain in your sin lest you be thought boastful when you say, "thanks to the Lord who answered my fervent prayers, i am dead to my sin nature and now live by the Spirit".  You believe it is not ok to share praise reports of how the Lord is working through our surrendered lives, sharing the blessings He has given us, the prayers he has answered, the deliverances and the healings.   I call your version of humility "false humility".  and it is a great crippler to the body of Christ.  Please come out of this lie and become a vastly more productive member of the body.
