I was enjoying the fellowship of The LORD through the study of HIS Word and seeking instruction from The LORD by HIS Word, and the Thought came to my mind, "that some might question whether or not the things presented in these studies are of The LORD, or of myself. Then I thought to check my e-mail to see if there were any messages in the mailbox. I then log on to check the mailbox for this site, and found that there was one new message listed there from a person that begins his or her email name as "nobody." Opening the e-mail, the question addressed to me personally with my nickname, says, "What is it you're trying to say?" With fear for both my self and the person asking the question, I looked "up the answer given by The Word of The LORD, as it is written in the book Ezekiel 14:3-11. And Before doing anything else, I would advise Strongly that this person Repent, Repent of the thoughts of your heart, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. "Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned... (Luke 6:37). A wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels" (Proverb 1:5). "Give instruction to a wise man, and he will be yet wiser: teach a just man, and he will increase in learning" (Proverb 9:9).

Not knowing what to expect after reading the verse of Scripture in Ezekiel, I needed to follow through with a response to the question that was being asked. As I began to prepare the page for the answer, I became really concern for the person, who was asking the question, and for myself, who had to return the answer. As I sat at the computer to put in writing my thoughts, right in the middle of writing the response, the phone rang, so I answered the call. It was one of my closest friends, who called to see about my well-being. All I could say to her was, pray for me, just pray for me. After returning to the computer, I became overwhelm with what might take place as a result of sending the message to this person, who's e-mail began with the name "nobody". It would be easy to say, that since the person had chosen to create an address beginning with the name "nobody", I could just go ahead and send the message to this person. But since I did not know who it was that was sending the message, who also had knowledge of my nickname, given by my family, I was again place between a Rock and a hard place. What should I do? Should I go on and bring punishment on both the person sending the message and myself? Could this be it for me? Could this be it for the person sending the message? I felt that I had to keep writing the message and respond to this person. With tears beginning to fill my eyes, and being unable to see clearly, my eyes were directed to the verse on the screen taken from Luke 6:37, to not judge. With hope flooding into my heart, I rewrote that last part of the message and sent it off to the sender by clicking reply to the message, and then updated the study with this page. I then shut down the computer, got myself ready, and went to join my friend, who was praying for me. Not wanting to give all the details of what I though might happen to me, I just wanted to join with my friend in prayer to repent of any wrong thoughts in my mind. However, she became offended, because I would not go into details and verbalize the very thing I did not want to write in the message. In the process of our dialog, it was brought out, that it was she that had sent the e-mail. And because both the person that sent the e-mail, and the person replying to the e-mail were in the same location, I was really concern and wanted to pray even more for our well being. But she was becoming more offended; because I could not verbalize the message that I had sent. I tried using biblical stories to help bring understanding, but it was to no avail. She still wanted to know something that I could not tell her. I was again like a sheep caught between a Rock and a hard place. I decided to seek a neutral way to leave and return home to pray for both my friend and myself. After spending some time in prayer, I recalled that she had said that she did put her e-mail in the forum box, which should have shown her e-mail in the in box for my messages. To find out what had gone wrong, I tested the contact forum on the site and found that it was working fine. Yet, I notice a previous test that I had conducted on the site, showing my name only, with the "nobody" name attached next to it. Had it been in my heart to pass judgment on a person with the e-mail name as "nobody", I would have been passing judgment on my friend and on myself. The question we should be concerned about in these final days is this, When we are put to the test, of being placed between a Rock and a hard place, and being pressed in our hearts to make a decision, who's kingdom would we choose to side with? And what would be the foundation upon which our works are based? What caused me to repent of my ways was seeing a glimpse of what I was doing to the one with whom I love to spend my time. When we trample upon each other, without care of injury, we can become like those, who have transformed themselves into wolves in sheep clothing, to cause pain and injury to the body of Christ. Yet, He has reveal to us, that at one time, we were all wolves in sheep's clothing as a result of sin. It is the sin of rebellion to HIS Will that He was crucified by the people, whom He came to save, and was willing to die to make them members of His own body. We could choose to think of Christ, as being somewhere up there in heaven, far away from us. However, I choose to believe that although He is in heaven at the Father's side, He is still a lot nearer than we think. For He has revealed to us through His disciples, Saying, "...I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen." (Matthew 28:20) And if He is the One through Whom the Father has made all things, then He has no problem being able to guide His church like a Shepherd guides His sheep unto Himself. For Mark testified and said, "...after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen" (Mark 16:19-20). The Word has made available to us everything that we need of our salvation, but it all hinges on our trust in Him to guide us with HIS still small Voice in our hearts. May we continue to trust in HIS Guidance to where He is, Amen.
