I thought before I moved on to other topics I might give an explanation as to why I choose to entitle the last 13 Post as “What Can Be Said”.
When I started this series I really had no idea as to why I chose this title for the topic, other than I hoped it would cause people to be curious enough to read into what was being said.
However, somewhere within sharing my past and being where God wanted me to be I began to see how the events of the past are directly related to the understanding of present-day.
For years I wondered what God had in mind for me but not enough to do anything about it. Not enough to be active in a spiritual way, or to be where He wanted me to be and under the Authority of those who are now over me. I had an understanding of who God was and when I started to return to Church and be where God wanted me to be I gained a new understanding of God. Over the last two years or so that understanding changed again. I moved from one understanding to another understanding or as the Word of God says, moving from one type of glory to another type of glory. Praises be to God.
Still, with all possible humility I say that what ever distance I have come spiritually speaking, there are depths of understand that I can not currently fathom.
So to answer the question, “what can be said”?
We have a Sovereign God who demands our obedience and our loyalty and our devotion. And how better than to show you in the Word of God.
1 Peter 2:9-10 But you are (A)A CHOSEN RACE, A (B)royal PRIESTHOOD, A (C)HOLY NATION, (D)A PEOPLE FOR God's OWN POSSESSION, so that you may proclaim the excellencies of Him who has called you (E)out of darkness into His marvelous light;
10(F)for you once were NOT A PEOPLE, but now you are THE PEOPLE OF GOD; you had NOT RECEIVED MERCY, but now you have RECEIVED MERCY.

Paul,
"Still, with all possible humility I say that what ever distance I have come spiritually speaking, there are depths of understand that I can not currently fathom."
The fact that you have come some "distance... spiritually speaking" despite not comprehending the depths of all understanding speaks of a real faith within- this is the mark of a true believer. The truly saved may not understand, yet they still believe. God's Spirit leads us to this place of blind faith first, then He builds upon that sure foundation with the greater understanding.
Good post Paul. I am eagerly awaiting more of what happened in Maine and how you got back to Florida. What happened to rest of your family, etc. Please continue to write and post when you can. Love and prayers, JD's Mom
Looks good Paul. My view of God has changed drastically over the last few years as well. Praise God that He doesn't change though. I think the biggest change in me is beginning to understand the soveriegnty of God. God is God. We are man. Simple yet difficult.
Hallelujah! God's Spirit in me bears witness with His Spirit in you! I, too, look forward to more history in Maine. It's very interesting. I know you will share as the Lord leads you.
How's Melissa feeling?
Good Word. Great is His faithfulness. My understanding has undergone quite a few changes as well. Isn't it interesting how God keeps bringing us back to the most painfully simple truths? Keep on, brother! Glad to be a part, even way off in OK. ;)
Hmmmm, Ok, joyfullyhis, if you are how I think you are....
Wonderful to hear from you and I still miss hearing your voice at the piano Sunday mornings. If you are who I think you are... ;)
P.S. love to you and your family through Jesus our Lord!
