Hey All,
In going through my documents from FA, I am going to post those that, I feel, are important for the body of Christ to read, and learn from, concerning different topics.
The notes I have are a copy of a hand printed version of a nun's testimony. The story, hard copy, is twenty-four pages long.
I researched the story and found a site that offers her testimony. Even though many of the disturbing parts have been left out or toned down on the site, it is still very moving.
It has made me cry everytime I have read it throughout the years. It has produced a conviction in me to not imitate the tombs of religion we find on every corner or in those around us, but to imitate Jesus, a living example of the Word made flesh.
It is an example, to the extreme, of how demonic man's religion can be and the potential for damage to the spirit, soul, mind, and body. Religion is empty, cunning, and death to all who embrace it without Jesus in it. It deceives and sends souls to Hell. How many times have I stumbled, made others stumble, and how much damage control did He have to do before I took the time to listen to the Holy Spirit, line it up with His Word and obey even when it meant death to my attitudes, motives, actions or words?
What have I lost for eternity by being religious, at times, when I line up for rewards for my works during my probation time on this earth? How many of my actions and words will be straw when I look at that fire? Do I really walk in the fact that this life is not the true reality, but it is the after life where we will be living eternally?
May we strive to not be religious. May we truely be Holy; a seperate and peculiar people to this world. May we not just have head knowledge and spit the Word, while He may be spitting us out of His mouth. May we bear the fruit that proves that we belong to Him as it convicts those around us by our mouths, actions, and even in what we write for the entire universe to see.
Most importantly, may we be given the grace to overcome, the way we were taught at FA, by doing the hardest task I believe we have been given until His return: Overcoming ourselves.
