What the devil is doing is coming so fast and is found on every front, that is confusing many.

What are you doing that you are noticing things now? We actually immersed ourselves in a community. We were unprepared.scootd28https://www.blogger.com/profile/18049734458416531463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205773018799890263.post-53095109493626075002017-05-10T12:26:06.368-07:002017-05-10T12:26:06.368-07:00Scott, I agree there are many land mines around us...Scott, I agree there are many land mines around us, behind us, and ahead of us. The passive-aggressive land mine is only one of the many that I am noticing now. The reason I included it in this post is because it gets in the way of conversations. We don't have to be contentious; neither do we need to give up and not concern ourselves about what is happening. Common consent includes many conversations with God and our fellowmen. We need to master these skills of communication.John and Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04899746045646203432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205773018799890263.post-90118208577186013912017-05-10T08:30:15.615-07:002017-05-10T08:30:15.615-07:00I think you are so right in the "instant"...I think you are so right in the "instant" relationships! We cannot and will not have an "instant" relationship with Christ our Eternal Father of heaven and earth. It will be something that we have cultivated the rest of our lives and I hope that in my dying day that I will have a strong enough of a relationship with our Eternal Father!! One can hope and keep your head down with studying the restored scriptures, prayer, and building and seeking the stronger relationship.Robynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09597141119549555082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205773018799890263.post-18221950793137956042017-05-10T06:57:21.900-07:002017-05-10T06:57:21.900-07:00It is impossible to know how difficult this is unt...It is impossible to know how difficult this is until you've tried it. You're right - passive-aggressive behavior, which we all use to various extents, will kill oneness. that is not the only land mine awaiting, however.scootd28https://www.blogger.com/profile/18049734458416531463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205773018799890263.post-3211892046672737492017-05-09T17:59:58.124-07:002017-05-09T17:59:58.124-07:00Yes, we like to hurry things along and be efficien...Yes, we like to hurry things along and be efficient, but God does not do His work in haste. There is much joy in the journey towards common consent. Relationships are strengthened, connections are made, and the knowledge of the Lord increases. It is a beautiful path to be on and continues into eternity. I realize that God's kingdom is governed by common consent. He keeps teaching and working with us until we understand and have a desire to joy in the truth as He does. Common consent is why His is an everlasting dominion which flows unto Him forever without compulsory.John and Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04899746045646203432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1205773018799890263.post-90239985912242743572017-05-09T09:01:26.693-07:002017-05-09T09:01:26.693-07:00It took Enoch hundreds of yrs to arrive at common ...It took Enoch hundreds of yrs to arrive at common consent in his Zion.
