We are all created with different and unique qualities and have gone down different life experiences that allow us to be used by God for specific purposes.
I want to ask ... HOW is God uniquely able to use YOU? This is not about pride. This is about glorifying Christ. So, don't be bashful. Come forward and proclaim how God is using YOU.
Tell us how you have been emptied that you might be filled and be able to fill others. How has this worked for you?

I think i don t have very much theological talents. I think the only thing i am good at, is fight. I think i have to keep it simple: spread the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Someday i hope i ll be able to spread this simple message. I have wrestled with demons, have been bullied, have overcome drugs/smoking/alcohol addictions, been through several schools, lost the love of my love and i am still standing. I have lost so many things, have seen so many dreams shattered so i don t care about my destiny/life anymore. I think this makes me a very big opponent of satan. He cannot use fear to stop me, i really don t care what other people think about me. I think i know the truth and i will do anything i can to spread that truth plainly and powerfully. So in short, i think i am a fighter...

So in short, i think i am a fighter Dear Truth ... After hearing all that you have been through and survived ... I would say that God has great plans for you . He is working to prepare you for His work. You must be emptied in order to be filled. Soon my friend ... He will fill you to overflowing.

Thanks Redwood. I hope you are right, i think it is about time for God to reveal himself to me personally. Sometimes i am asking myself whether i have programmed myself to believe that the SDA church has the church because i desparately want to know the truth. That s why i have started something of which the succes of it is totally dependant on God. If God agrees with my plans millions of people in poor countries will get acces to the true teachings of God. I will spread them personally with some same-minded teammembers. I pray often that God will bless my plans. However i need more people to pray for these plans. Therefore i would really appreciate it if you would be praying for my plans too, even though i cannot tell my plans yet. Jesus said that if two people are gathered in his name and pray for something God will listen. So anyone who wants to see real changes, please pray for my plans because the succes of it is totally dependant on God s will...

I'm not trying to ruin your post, but I'm going to have disagree with your assumption that "we are all created with different and unique qualities...."
Continue on,

So in short, i think i am a fighter... Could it be that God has delivered you from all these things for you to be able to help others that are not the "fighter" that you have become. Many are in situations just like your old situations. What a difference you could make in many so many lives. You have ministered to me through your post. I will be praying for you as you continue your journey. May God Bless You!

Continue on,
Rob Continuing on .... I was referring to the process of refining thus labeled as created. Our different and unique qualities are formed or created through the refining process of life's experiences. I do believe that we are each presented different and unique challenges in life which form our being.

Thank you very much for your encouragements Redwood. Sometimes i feel like going the wrong direction and i post something on which you give a reply and suddenly my eyes are focused on Jesus again. I ve just red some literature from Ellen White and it really speaks to my heart. It even makes me cry, which is a miracle itself because my heart is so hard. I am glad i ve found my goal in life. I wanna live just like Jesus did. IN the old days i was quite pure and humble, therefore other people hated me. In return i began to hate people and uplift myself. Now i want to reverse the situation, i rather suffer in Christ. It is the most honourable life path a man can ever achieve, to take up the cross of Jesus. Please pray that God will soften my heart, because often i am extremely cold like some sort of robot. Thankz

I was referring to the process of refining thus labeled as created. Our different and unique qualities are formed or created through the refining process of life's experiences. I do believe that we are each presented different and unique challenges in life which form our being. Does this mean even if we have not followed God and we go on our own way that we are being refined through life's experiences? Personally I think if we stray from God's way that we are jeopardizing a potential future with God. Once we accept Jesus as our saviour then I think we are placing ourselves in a position which God can use to refine us.

Personally I think if we stray from God's way Check out the quote below ... "ALL have strayed and fallen short of the glory of God"
