Part 1 - Upbringing: Prepared to fail so that Christ may shine alone, successfully

Religion, Weed, Crime, Sexual Assault, Depression, Anxiety, Acid, Mushrooms, Suicudal Thoughts, Longing for Purpose, Having No Identity, Reaching for Anyone Who Might Listen.
This is part 1 of a series of videos I will be doing through the chronological journey it took for God to prepare me to come into the knowledge of the truth that all be saved through His Son. This is the basis video to understanding why I believe what I do and how God brought me here. More parts to come.

    I love you too, brother. God's timing is perfect and all His ways will be shown to us in perfect timing! My dad and I were just discussing how there is absolutely no end to God, how the glory we are coming into will be bursting from within, being poured on us from every angle and we will NEVER stop learning about the depths of God! YES all of these experiences are purposed by God for glory! Amazing.

    Man, your raw, real, personal experiences given to us are the perfect testimony of the human experience and God's grace upon it. This is our humiliation, weakness and vanity set before us to experience. So that we have the contrast to the burden of glory that is awaiting us. This shit we endure is not worthy of mention with the glory. So great is God that His Love conquers all things. Man, I am looking forward to that day when the change comes and we begin the beautiful journey with God, up close and personal. Keep sharing and loving. Grace and peace.

    I LOVE that term “burden of glory”! You are absolutely right. To know God has not created anything without purpose is what I am thankful for. YES, what we have experienced in our humiliation is like holding up an unlit match to the biggest star in the universe. I am thankful to hear from you, Toeknee. Your name is kickass haha. I am so eager to be there with God and Christ in the Body :) Hold loosely to this world, for it is fading swiftly!

    We cannot see it, so we are still divided into Jew and Gentile, but YOU ARE CORRECT! God, Who knows the future, inspired Paul to write that very fact! The thing is, Gleason, we are still anticipating Christ's return and thus the Israel reign on earth under Christ. God can see us as neither Jew nor Greek, but we are unable to do so (fully). Galatians Chapter 3 Verses 25-29 “25 Now, at the coming of faith, we are no longer under an escort, 26 for you are all sons of God, through faith in Christ Jesus. 27 For whoever are baptized into Christ, put on Christ, 28 in Whom there is no Jew nor yet Greek, there is no slave nor yet free, there is no male and female, for you all are one in Christ Jesus. 29 Now if you are Christ's, consequently you are of Abraham's seed, enjoyers of the allotment according to the promise.”

    Body of Christ members will be with Christ as soon as they are snatched away and I assume there-after. Since we are given the full mind of Christ at that time, it never leaves us, seeing as our bodies are glorified and vivified beyond death. Once the eons conclude, then we are headed to the consummation and then beyond the second death, God is All in all, with the same Spirit of God, not discerning Jew and Gentile

He has different avenues for 2 groups of people, simply divided into that if circumcision and that of uncircumcision. Call it a goal, but I consider it a future-attaintment that we are destined for. These things are not yet occurring in our relation to time. Remember, God is not limited by time, just as He gave visions to Paul and John alike. We are extremely limited and only God knows exactly what is coming. This is why we have the scriptures, to know whatever it is He is telling us.

    Old humanity was crucified with Christ! Isn't this awesome to know?? :) Good to hear from you, Gleason! Galations chapter 2 Verses 20-21 “20 With Christ have I been crucified, yet I am living; no longer I, but living in me is Christ. Now that which I am now living in flesh, I am living in faith that is of the Son of God, Who loves me, and gives Himself up for me. 21 I am not repudiating the grace of God, for if righteousness is through law, consequently Christ died gratuitously.”
