Dirk, Thanks for the invite. I have been visiting for about a year on and off and just reading. I usually just read a few posts and get such a burden in prayer, that I find it very difficult to post any responses of views. I had been invited after writing a lengthy post on another board, and thought I had things to say and views to offer that might have been helpful. I teach classes on helping Christians escape the system, taxes, the SSN, and do occasional counseling. I had worked with mental patients for about 4 years, and problem children for about 10 years. But...I had a problem. One that many on this board are most familiar with. The time that made a difference for me is when I had an encounter with the Holy Spirit. Even though I had accepted Christ as my savior and was born-again in 1975, an experience with the Holy Spirit had not happened. Mostly because of all the debate within the church...I listened to them rather than the voice of Christ. I had also been using and selling cocaine for about 6 years, about 1985-1991. But my experience with the Holy Spirit in about 1992 made all the difference in the world, and put a greater power in my life to overcome. So although I work another part time job, I had opened some office space to reach the community for Christ in helping other learn as I had. At present, I mostly cover helping Christians to get out of the system, about the 501(c)3 churches, the SSN. It is all a process..no matter what we deal with in this world...but the main thing is to deal with it. To be challenged and always moving forward. Never allow ourselves to be conned into remaining in one position long enough for the enemy to take an aim at our weaknesses. Anyway, thanks for the invite, again, and I will try to stop by more often. Gideon |
