  • rejoicinginloveforever { Okay, so this is my last day here. The purpose of this account is to glorify Jesus, but I still find myself getting distracted by other things on here, and I don’t like spending so much time on my phone, which I realize happens a lot. Time is precious. I’d much rather spend time in the Word studying, spending time with Love Himself. I’ve been a Christian for three years now, and I went from being a “fake” Christian, (thinking I was all holy and whatnot, but still doing things I shouldn’t have been doing) then going back to the world, then slowly coming back by His grace. As a father has pity on his child, so the Lord had pity on me. When I had cried out to Him, He heard me and delivered me. I became a child. Sat at His feet and began to re-learn everything my polluted mind had been taught and exposed to. This is real. I am not the same person I was when I first started out. Jesus is absolutely, completely, and incredibly, precious to me. He loved me even when I was doing horrible things. No human being can understand to the depths, the heart of the Saviour. His love is just not like the love we have for others here. His love is infinite and unconditional. Absolute and perfect. Anyway, I’m straying here a bit. I'm really happy that my posts have encouraged others throughout this time though. Drop me an email or msg on Kik if you want to talk, but I will no longer be on here. (Yes, you may unfollow me!) Maybe this all sounds weird to you reading this but anyway, just wanted to let everyone know. Ps. To my Christian brothers and sisters on IG; don't get so caught up on here, your followers and how many likes you get or want or having the best photos. Keep your eyes firmly fixed on Jesus Christ. “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” (Colossians 3:2) Blessings to you, friends. } #ilyJesus #vscocam #love #beautiful #Jesus #children #goodbye   3w

  • rejoicinginloveforever { "As we see our sisters departing from simplicity in dress, and cultivating a love for the fashions of the world, we feel troubled. By taking steps in this direction they are separating themselves from God and neglecting the inward adorning. They should not feel at liberty to spend their God-given time in the unnecessary ornamentation of their clothing. How much better might it be employed in searching the Scriptures, thus obtaining a thorough knowledge of the prophecies and of the practical lessons of #Christ." - CH 596.1 || Had to share when I read this. 😶 Ps. this account will be inactive in the next two or so days; I just really don't want Instagram anymore. I'll explain a little more in another post, but anyway. } #instagood #lumiforms #ilyJesus #vscocam #typography #love #sky #dress   4w

  • rejoicinginloveforever { "Nature testifies of God. The susceptible mind, brought in contact with the miracle and mystery of the universe, cannot but recognize the working of infinite power. Not by its own inherent energy does the earth produce its bounties, and year by year continue its motion around the sun. An unseen hand guides the planets in their circuit of the heavens. A mysterious life pervades all nature—a life that sustains the unnumbered worlds throughout immensity, that lives in the insect atom which floats in the summer breeze, that wings the flight of the swallow and feeds the young ravens which cry, that brings the bud to blossom and the flower to fruit." - TEd 59.1 } #instagood #love #ilyJesus #flowers #vscocam #mextures #beautiful #typography   4w

  • rejoicinginloveforever { "Keep your wants, your joys, your sorrows, your cares, and your fears before God. You cannot burden Him; you cannot weary Him. He who numbers the hairs of your head is not indifferent to the wants of His children. “The Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.” James 5:11. His heart of love is touched by our sorrows and even by our utterances of them. Take to Him everything that perplexes the mind. Nothing is too great for Him to bear, for He holds up worlds, He rules over all the affairs of the universe. Nothing that in any way concerns our peace is too small for Him to notice. There is no chapter in our experience too dark for Him to read; there is no perplexity too difficult for Him to unravel. No calamity can befall the least of His children, no anxiety harass the soul, no joy cheer, no sincere prayer escape the lips, of which our heavenly Father is unobservant, or in which He takes no immediate interest. “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds.” Psalm 147:3. The relations between God and each soul are as distinct and full as though there were not another soul upon the earth to share His watchcare, not another soul for whom He gave His beloved Son. – {Steps to Christ, pg. 100} #vscocam #ilyJesus #flowers #love #typography #beautiful #spring   4w

  • rejoicinginloveforever { "The material world is under God’s control. The laws of nature are obeyed by nature. Everything speaks and acts the will of the Creator. Cloud and sunshine, dew and rain, wind and storm, all are under the supervision of God, and yield implicit obedience to His command. It is in obedience to the law of God that the spire of grain bursts through the ground, “first the blade, then the ear, after that the full corn in the ear.” Mark 4:28. These the Lord develops in their proper season because they do not resist His working. And can it be that man, made in the image of God, endowed with reason and speech, shall alone be unappreciative of His gifts and be disobedient to His will? Shall rational beings alone cause confusion in our world?" - COL pg. 81.3 } #instagood #love #ilyJesus #flowers #vscocam #typography #instaaaaah   1mon

  • rejoicinginloveforever { I love the sound of birds singing, it literally fills me with puuure joy. It's finding beauty in little things and in my God's beautiful creations that bring joy unlike any other. Spring is without a doubt, my favorite season. How happily the little birds sing praises to the One who created them. The blooming flowers, the birds, the fresh green grass; all bursting with life and exuberant loveliness declaring and affirming the Father's love. I wish I could be surrounded by more of it. #takemeFARawayfromthecity! || "All nature in its surpassing loveliness will offer to God a constant tribute of praise and adoration. The world will be bathed in the light of heaven. The years will move on in gladness. The light of the moon will be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold greater than it is now. Over the scene the morning stars will sing together, and the sons of God will shout for joy, while Christ and God will unite in proclaiming, “There shall be no more sin, neither shall there be any more death." (The Review and Herald, December 17, 1908). } #soonandverysoon #spring #love #instagood #sky #typography #ilyJesus #vscocam #mextures   1mon

  • rejoicinginloveforever @tylerlinahan   4w
  • tylerlinahan Thanks for the response! You've really thought about this :) Although a few things I'd add: (1) keep in mind that the manna and the water were also provided because of the Israelite's complaints. Quail came as a progression of more complaints. (2) God instituted many laws regarding food for Israel for the primary purpose of setting them apart to be a witness of God's holiness... Among these laws were regulations on how to prepare and eat meat. (3) the acts passage was not merely a vision, it was God speaking to him by means of a vision. God was denouncing all of the OT laws and commanding Peter to eat anything and everything so that he would be a more effective witness to the world. We know this is God because Peter acknowledges that in later verses.   4w
  • tylerlinahan Thoughts? Remember the Bible is infallible and the only authority on these things :)   4w
  • rejoicinginloveforever Hello Tyler! Sorry for this late reply once again! I don’t agree with something here though. The water and manna were provided because of their complaints? They travelled for a long time Tyler, the Lord knew they obvoously would need food and drink. Therefore the Lord provided them with water and “angel’s food”. (Psalm 78:24-25). This would be enough for them, but because they wanted the meat that they ate when they were slaves, God gave them what they wanted and many of them died as a consequence. For your second point, my answer is okay, that’s true. It’s spoken of in Leviticus. There are clean foods and unclean foods. Alright. For your third point, I cannot answer in one sitting. It goes very in depth and I would ask that you, Tyler, pray about it. I will tell you this though, the OT laws were not abolished.   3w
  • rejoicinginloveforever The laws remain standing because they represent the charater of God; the Constitution of the Universe will never fall or change. (Psalm 111:7). IF you happen to be talking about the ceremonial law, which is the slaying of an animal as an atonment for our sin, then yes that ceremonial law is no more because Jesus, the spotless, sinless lamb, became the lamb that was slain for our sins. Once and for all generations. Here’s another thing; the vision that was given to Peter served as reproof and instruction. The purpose was to tell him that the gospel should be preached to all people, not just the Christians. Up until that point, none of the disciples had preached the gospel to the Gentiles. God wanted to remove the prejudice and show them that in heaven there is “no respect of persons;   3w
  • rejoicinginloveforever that Jew and Gentile are alike precious in God’s sight; that through Christ the heathen may be made partakers of the blessings and privileges of the gospel.” - Acts of the Apostles pg. 136. It was done by the vision of the sheet and it's contents (Acts 10:12). All the wild beasts of the earth that were seen in the vision represented the Gentiles. Heathens. Non-Christians. God had to show Peter that the gospel is for everyone, so He told him, “Rise, Peter; kill and eat”. (Acts 10:13). Re-read the chapter and pray about it, Tyler. That’s all I can say, really. Anyway, I know why I decided to change my diet; meat it unhealthy and it was not a part of the original diet. In heaven we will not be eating flesh, so I want to correct what I grew up thinking was healthy and good for oneself, and return back to the wholsesome delicious diet given to man at the very beginning. :)   3w
  • rejoicinginloveforever @tylerlinahan   3w
  • rejoicinginloveforever "The diet appointed man in the beginning did not include animal food. Not till after the Flood, when every green thing on the earth had been destroyed, did man receive permission to eat flesh. In choosing man’s food in Eden, the Lord showed what was the best diet; in the choice made for Israel He taught the same lesson. He brought the Israelites out of Egypt and undertook their training, that they might be a people for His own possession. Through them He desired to bless and teach the world. He provided them with the food best adapted for this purpose, not flesh, but manna, “the bread of heaven.” It was only because of their discontent and their murmuring for the fleshpots of Egypt that animal food was granted them, and this only for a short time. Its use brought disease and death to thousands. Yet the restriction to a non flesh diet was never heartily accepted. It continued to be the cause of discontent and murmuring, open or secret, and it was not made permanent. Upon their settlement in Canaan, the Israelites were permitted the use of animal food, but under careful restrictions which tended to lessen the evil results. The use of swine’s flesh was prohibited, as also of other animals and of birds and fish whose flesh was pronounced unclean. Of the meats permitted, the eating of the fat and the blood was strictly forbidden. Only such animals could be used for food as were in good condition. No creature that was torn, that had died of itself, or from which the blood had not been carefully drained, could be used as food. By departing from the plan divinely appointed for their diet, the Israelites suffered great loss. They desired a flesh diet, and they reaped its results. They did not reach God’s ideal of character or fulfill His purpose. The Lord “gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.” Psalm 106:15 They valued the earthly above the spiritual, and the sacred pre-eminence which was His purpose for them they did not attain." - Ministry of Healing pg. 311 and 312.   3w

  • rejoicinginloveforever { "we are prone to look to our fellow men for sympathy and uplifting, instead of looking to Jesus. in His mercy and faithfulness God often permits those in whom we place confidence to fail us, in order that we may learn the folly of trusting in man and making flesh our arm. let us trust fully, humbly, unselfishly in God. He knows the sorrows that we feel to the depths of our being, but which we cannot express. when all things seem dark and unexplainable, remember the words of Christ, “What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.” - john 13:7. – {MH 486.7} } #ilyjesus #instaaaaah #love #instagood #vscocam #grass   2mon

  • rejoicinginloveforever { I ask you, what love is this? That the Son of the Most High God, would willingly come to this dark world to take the punishment and death sentence that was rightfully ours? Not just for those living in that time, but for all men of all ages and all times. The blood of the spotless, sinless Lamb covers the wickedness and evil of all men. Yes, even now as it is 2013.
    Heavenly angels rejoiced in the plan of salvation for selfish sinful man but immediately were in shock when they heard what it involved for their God. They cry out to Him saying "No Lord, not you, let me go!" & with love the King declares, "Your blood cannot save them, only Mine can."
    Oh, what love! I am as David who wrote, "When I consider the heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; who is man that You would be mindful of Him!" You came not as a high and exalted King, you came to show man also what it meant for us to be humble in all our ways. You were at the lowest rank; poorest of the poor. Men hated You, others loved and believed who You claimed to be and were saved and You forgave them for all the wickedness they had done in times past. Others doubted, laughed and said, "Ha! How can it be, He claims to be the "Son" of God?" Yet, even when they didn't understand and their hearts were hardened, as God of all flesh, Your heart still loved them. Precious God. Tempted, tried and suffered; Creator of heaven and earth and all that in them is, whom oceans bow down to and birds sing Your praise; I'll never understand. All for what.. for man? I am not worthy, truly, I am lost in wonder. To live for You is life eternal, and I will serve none other than Christ, my Saviour. Completely and entirely undeserving of Your love, Lord I own; my heart is won. Help my love to show. } "I am the way, the truth and the life .. and I have loved you with an everlasting love." - Jesus.

  • rejoicinginloveforever { Trial is part of the education given in the school of Christ, to purify God’s children from the dross of earthliness. It is because God is leading His children that trying experiences come to them. Trials and obstacles are His chosen methods of discipline, and His appointed conditions of success. He who reads the hearts of men knows their weaknesses better than they themselves can know them. He sees that some have qualifications which, if rightly directed, could be used in the advancement of His work. In His providence He brings these souls into different positions and varied circumstances, that they may discover the defects that are concealed from their own knowledge. He gives them opportunity to overcome these defects and to fit themselves for service. Often He permits the fires of affliction to burn, that they may be purified. God’s care for His heritage is unceasing. He suffers no affliction to come upon His children but such as is essential for their present and eternal good. He will purify His church, even as Christ purified the temple during His ministry on earth. All that He brings upon His people in test and trial comes that they may gain deeper piety and greater strength to carry forward the triumphs of the cross." - Acts of the Apostles, p. 524 } I hope this reaches out to someone as it has for me. #staystrong #ilyJesus #vscocam #instagood #typography #love   2mon

  • rejoicinginloveforever { maybe some of you have noticed, but i haven't been posting much at all lately. these past few, idk maybe 2 or 3 weeks, have been pretty interesting for me. my prayer has been that God will strengthen my faith, like i mean really strengthen it, and that His character may be seen through me to others. now i'm telling you, when you pray this with a sincere heart.. God get's straight to work. these past few weeks have been difficult but it's all apart of the "forgetting self, He>i" thing. again, it is not easy in any way whatsoever. i could tell you just what i went through, but i don't want to make God appear to be some kind of a tyrant to those who don't really understand Him already. no way. God within the fiery trials that He has sent my way to mold, shape and strengthen me, still provides the comfort. He still shows me His love and that He has a purpose for this. but i mean for real. it's amazing and it's difficult at the same time. the Word of the Lord says that God is a Father to us, and whom He loveth, He chasteneth. (hebrews 12:5-7). like as a father has pity on his children, so the Lord has pity on those that fear (love) Him. (psalms 103:13) i'm still going through what i'm going through, but i'm forever holding onto the precious hand of my Saviour. He who's name is Comforter and Power. my strength and my absolute everything. if you're going through something similar, hang in there. He has not left you. } #ilyJesus #vscocam #springbuds #love #instagood #typography   2mon
