Volt, every person has some gift from God. Your's is discernment and is a very powerful gift, because you are seeing a small part of what God sees.

If you have already dealt with it, then I am happy, but if you haven't... you are still holding on to that pain. It has been uncovered by the light of his Grace, but you must give it to him. Satan will attack you saying that you cannot trust anyone and you must hang onto that pain. If you listen to him though, you are betraying what God as destinied and gifted you for. Whatever else you do in his name will pale in comparison to what you could have done with your gift. Volt, you must give it to him, he will not take it from you.

When Jesus held up his hands and asked God to take this cup, he asked God to take his fears, his doubts, his weakness about his coming death. Jesus was human and as thus felt as we all do. He could barely take the fact that all of humanity's sins where going to be poured on him. But by giving it all to his Father, he could do what no other man could ever do. He became our Savior.

He sacrificed his life. That is what we all must do if we want to achieve our destinies... we must sacrifice our lives to God's wills... sacrifice our fears, dreams, everything on the altar. This is as much for me as well, since there are many things I need to sacrifice. Just remember, you will be the one to sacrifice this pain. You must ask and He will take.

Just ask...

i don't really get it or think i believe it... some of the stuff seems vague. 'dull pain'? you can say that about everybody... but that's just me :)

No matter what condition you're in, what hadicapps you may have. You will always have God inside you. God bless you

*hug*

No need for words really. You know the deal Volt. God Bless you buddy.

That is an interesting gift. I also have a certain measure of the gift of discernment, so I can understand what your pastor is doing.

More than just looking into someone'e eyes, you can tell a lot about a person just by the way that they react when you look into their eyes. Most people will look away, or stare at the ground. Only a small percentage of people will actually look back for any length of time. In my opinion, this says a lot about the confidence and self-esteem of the average person; namely, that it is low.

The moral of the story: don't be afraid to stare the world in the face and meet it head-on.

I think, that if you trust this person and believe that he is helping you alot, then I am in complete support! ^-^

So true.

My mother has the gift of discernment... I've got a pinch of it too. She's always telling me stuff and saying things like "I can see it in his/her eyes." So I do believe that looking into somebody's eyes can tell you, to a certain extent, of what that person is like or how that person feels.

I don't think it's happiness that you want. It's JOY that you need. No other words from me, just prayer.

Well I tested

I don’t think it’s just you Nia-Chan. I got the same impression when I read the ‘interpretation’ of Volts eye. It was almost like I was reading my horoscope in the paper. Much of what was said could be easily applied to just about anyone.

Discernment: As I understand it.
It is the special gift whereby the Spirit allows certain Christians to know with assurance whether some behavior is of God or of Satan.

Biblical references where Spiritual Discernment can be seen.
Acts 5:3-6: Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that you have lied to the Holy Spirit and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? You have not lied to men but to God."
When Ananias heard this, he fell down and died. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. Then the young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.

Acts 16:16-18: Once when we were going to the place of prayer, we were met by a slave girl who had a spirit by which she predicted the future. She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. This girl followed Paul and the rest of us, shouting, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you the way to be saved." She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul became so troubled that he turned around and said to the spirit, "In the name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her!" At that moment the spirit left her.

True, this is the kind of psychology that law enforcement interrogators and the such, are trained to recognize and use. But it is not a spiritual gift. A spiritual gift cannot be learned.

On another note, I will continue to keep you in my prayers Volt.

Sometimes i do staring contests with my friends to see who can stare the longest without smiling or laughing. I am very good at this, i just think of my worst experiences or worst thoughts and stare into the blackness of thier eyes. They usually laugh in a few seconds or just look away.

Don't take it the wrong way, Volt... We're just concerned for you. There are so many swindlers out there who are looking to take advantage of vulnerable people. Many appear to have an amazing gift of insight, or wisdom, or whatever. They have every appearance of caring about you and having your welfare as their main concern. They gain your complete trust, and then take you for everything you'll give them.

I'm not saying your pastor is one of those people. I have no idea. But please be careful about what kind of personal information you give this guy... and never, NEVER send him money or anything like that. Especially if you only know him online.

Please don't get upset or misunderstand me. I know you trust this guy, and I'm not trying to make you paranoid. He may very well be exactly who you think he is. Just be careful.

I've known my pasto

o.o Miyavi is a drag queen? I wasn't under that impression but he does look very feminine, as do a lot of other j-rockers, but I guess it doesn't really matter...

forgive me if I'm a bit skeptical...

*hugs*
There are no words I can say...but God be with you.
May His hand be upon you.
I love you and He loves you so much. Keep that in mind.

o.o Miyavi is a drag queen? I wasn't under that impression but he does look very feminine, as do a lot of other j-rockers, but I guess it doesn't really matter...

Agreed!

I wish there were something I could, say... besides what i just said, but I'm not good with this stuff.

So here's a riddle that has nothing to do with your situation, but I hope will cheer you up:

What is red and blue, and purple and green? No one can reach it, not even the queen.

If you believe him to be a drag queen, then why is he even in your avatar? I'm confused. Perhaps I don't want to know? o_O
