Dustin: God doesn't want us to serve him or glorify him... that's not our job
because God calls us children... meaning compare to God we're reallying nothing
me: yea! it's like what you told me at big momma's house
Dustin: when we were little kids... mom and dad didn't make us cook and do laundry for them
10:15 PM we just played with toys and just did stupid stuff
me: yeaa
Dustin: God just wants us to know and believe that he loves us conditionally
10:16 PM and we do believe... he glorified
he is glorified
me: so simpleee
hahaha HE GLORIFIED!
Dustin: yeah fob status
me: hahhahaha
niiiice
but you're right
Dustin: cause think about it logically
we're human, we're imperfect, we're stupid, we're sinners
God is perfect, God is God
10:17 PM so no matter how "good" you are or no matter how hard or how much you serve... you're still going to be far from perfect
me: very far
Dustin: and a perfect God can accept perfect things
can only accept
10:18 PM me: yea..so only..through having Jesus
10:19 PM Dustin: yup and that's why Jesus is so important... because Jesus was God, Jesus was perfect, therefore being a perfect sacrifice, a perfect act of worship, a perfect servant
me: ahhh so clear.
i need to seriously be reminded every day
10:20 PM Dustin: and so through Jesus our sins are washed so we're clean, but not only are our sins gone... Jesus now lives inside of us
10:21 PM me: yea...but sometimes...i get scared cuz...i keeep sinning. it's frustrating.
like...because i realize that God is so pure and holy and can't exist with sin
i hate sin that much more
yet..i still sin..and i know i probably will till i die
i think that's scary
10:22 PM and really sad
but it's because..
i'm a sinner right?
Dustin: were
if you believe Jesus died for you... you are a new creation (born again) and your new self is not a sinner
10:23 PM me: yes
Dustin: you will still sin of course as long you are on earth... but the real Ashley, the soul, is saved, a new creation, sinless
me: (:
Dustin: not because you're perfect but because someone who's perfect died and lives in you
me: yess
10:24 PM i forget..i forget
i think that's satan
playing with my mind
Dustin: yes of course... he does that to everyone
me: scary
Dustin: he doesn't distract you with bad stuff... like drugs or gangs and stuff like that
me: yea...he makes you feel hopeless
or guilty
10:26 PM Dustin: perfect love casts away all fear
God is love
if you're scared, depressed, feel guilty... than that's satan lying and playing with you
me: will my new heavenly body
need Jesus?
wait..
don't know if i phrased it right
10:27 PM like righ tnow...our earthly sinnful bodies need jesus
so that God can listen and accpet and love us
but will we still need Jesus in us in our heaveny bodies??
no right? since we're with him?..or is he iin us
i think i'm thinking too much now
HAHAHAHA
10:29 PM Dustin: well your new identity... is like you are Jesus and Jesus is you
it's not like Jesus and Ashley
but Jesusashley
me: HAHAHAHA
jessashley
got it
Dustin: so your heavenly body... even though it's hard to imagine... is like you are you but you are also Jesus
me: so when God sees me
it's not ashley
but jesusashley
got it
10:30 PM wowowowow
that's crazy
my mind is too litttle
seriously.....we're like a speck of dust
Dustin: for God SO LOVED the world that he gave is only begotten that whoever BELIEVES in him shall not perish and have everlasting life
10:31 PM so first if you feel guilt, shame, fear... that's not God... that's satan lying
me: yea
Dustin: because the foundation of Christianity is that Christ loved us first... even when we were still sinners
me: yes
Dustin: and second... you're saved and given eternal life not because you stop sinning but because you believe
10:32 PM me: this is good. yes
Dustin: if we could stop sinning... God wouldn't need to send Jesus... he knew that's why he made it so easy
me: duh ashley
yes
Dustin: he knows we can't that's why it says believe
me: im so blinded from the obvious
10:33 PM Dustin: believe meaning... even when you do sin and fall... know that I still love you and know that you are still saved and you that you still have eternal life
me: hallelujah
Dustin: believe. believe. believe.
not stop sinning. stop sinning. stop sinning.
10:34 PM me: believe. believe. believe.
10:35 PM i'm glad i talked to you today
that i can just bum in this computer lab
Dustin: haha
me: and chat with yoo haha
Dustin: ok one last thing... let me explain sin
me: please do
10:38 PM Dustin: think of sin to Satan like holy spirit to God
10:39 PM me: oyyy
makes sense
we have a lot of satan in us then
Dustin: so we're not sinners because we sin but we sin because this thing called sin lives in us
me: yea
10:40 PM it's like that post it you drew me
with sin inside that guy
right?
Dustin: yes
me: go on
10:41 PM Dustin: and so in this world... everyone is a descendant of adam and adam sinned so we are also all sinners
we're just born that way
me: yea
10:42 PM Dustin: so in the beginning man and God were together in the garden... and in sense it wasn't God and Adam but a Godadam
me: yeaa perfect adam
10:43 PM Dustin: but adam ate the fruit... and sinned... the sin here isn't doing something bad... but disbelief... he didn't believe that God was sufficient
back to believing
me: ahhh
neva thought of it..like that
10:44 PM Dustin: and so he ate the fruit and sinned (disbelief)
me: so true...the problem is...it's so hard for people to believe..
Dustin: yes very hard
10:45 PM me: and God just wants us to be like children
and just..believe
but no one does
or very few
Dustin: but people don't want to be children... they want to be God
they want to be in control
me: ahh right
10:46 PM Dustin: God is perfect and can't be with sin...
so God leaves
me: no choice but to leave
Dustin: so now it's just Adam no longer Godadam
me: yesss
10:47 PM dude...just preach this...and you can save souls
Dustin: but as a result of God leaving and sin entering the picture... sin is Satan's thing
Adam is now Satanadam
me: dangerousss
10:48 PM Dustin: and so after the fall of man (adam) because we are his descendants... we are all born Satandustin... Satan(yourname)
children of satan
me: ugh...
that's terrible
bunch of little satans surround me
10:49 PM Dustin: yup and that's why the world is in such a mess
not because of bad government or bad education
me: riiight
Dustin: but because in sense there's like 6 billion little satans running around on earth
me: omg..!!!!!
freaky imagery
10:50 PM Dustin: so stop real quick at Satanadam and back track back to Godadam
me: uh huh
10:51 PM Dustin: God said if you eat from the tree you will surely die
me: so...we should die
Dustin: adam ate from it but he didn't physically die
but God doesn't lie, he only speaks truth, which means Adam had to have died
10:52 PM so yes he's physically alive but spiritually he's dead
me: yea...
cuz God no longer in him..
Dustin: yup because God is life
so in a sense Godadam was lifeadam
10:53 PM me: yea
Dustin: and when God leaves, life leaves, and the absence of life is death
me: preach it bro
Dustin: so adam is dead
me: so i am dead
Dustin: you were
me: everyone
i was
Dustin: so two problems here... we are born dead, and we are born as satan(yourname)
10:54 PM me: yea
Dustin: actually three problems... sin (disbelief)
me: ahh yes . imiportant one
Dustin: ok so now Jesus
10:55 PM me: sollution: believe
Dustin: Jesus comes and dies for sin
me: yea
Dustin: And now without sin that means God can join us
10:56 PM me: and live in us again
Dustin: and Jesus says... I am the way the truth and the life
so if you substitute jesus with life... life lives in us
me: yea
Dustin: so we are no longer spiritually dead
me: so we alive
yea
Jesusashley
Dustin: or lifeashley
me: yeaa
Dustin: or Godashley
me: yes
10:57 PM Dustin: so no more sin, no more satanashley, and no more death because you have jesusashley and jesus is life
me: thank God..
and crazy thing is..
10:58 PM we didn't even do anything..
to deserve it
that's the whole
grace part
right
Dustin: yes
and that's why it's called the gospel... good news
me: i realy understand why people would name their daguthers grace
even tho it's so dang common
10:59 PM it's only by Grace...
yes very oood news
but people don't know it's good news
our minds are so tainted...
i think you should
come as a guest speaker
to my fellowship
i think we complicate things
times a million
11:00 PM Dustin: not just you guys... everybody
me: or satan makes us
complicate thingsss
but it's really...just simple..and good..and you just gotta believe
11:01 PM Dustin: ok so i explained John 3:16 earlier but now to another awana verse
ephesians 2:8-9
haha
me: yes!
awana!
there's a reason why
we learned these
11:02 PM i have learne...18 years later
hahahahahah
Dustin: so awana teaches you how to memorize but nothing about believing haha
sad
but anyways
me: reall sad
uh huh
Dustin: 8For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9not by works, so that no one can boast. 10For we are God's workmanship, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.
Grace like you said
11:03 PM me: yes
Dustin: through faith or believing
me: the Bible is so clear
Dustin: it is a gift
which is back to grace
me: yes
Dustin: not by works so no one can boast
like you said earlier... we didn't do anything
11:04 PM me: nope
so theres nothinig to boast about
just be thankful
Dustin: yup
me: wow so clear
11:05 PM feels like i...wiped my glasses..after a period of buildup ahahahah
just gotta read the word...believe...love..enjoy..
11:06 PM Dustin: yup Jesus said it is finished. Meaning it's done. Nothing left to do. Nothing to add or take away.
11:15 PM me: yes
man..
11:16 PM i can't imagine..
not having Jesus..
how
hopelesss
and scary
11:17 PM Dustin: haha
and that's exactly why the world is the way it is
me: that's why we won't ever be able to "fix" it
no matter how many cnn heroes we have
11:18 PM Dustin: exactly
which doesn't mean don't help anyone
me: haha of course
Dustin: but know that the problem is bigger than just poor quality water or bad education
behind all that is satan
11:19 PM me: yea..
very big
Dustin: that's why famous people keep commiting suicide... they have money and "everything" but they're still unhappy so they're hopeless
11:20 PM me: seriously...
Dustin: everyone is scared of diseases, swine flu, money, etc...
like you said... hopeless and scared
me: you said something about..fear at hawaii
you kept repeating it
11:21 PM like fear is destruction
or fear is power
or something like that!!
haha i don't remember
exactl
but it was funny and true
Dustin: rich people use fear to control poor and dumb people
satan uses fear to control everyone
me: there you go
11:22 PM dang..satan has a good grasp of lots of people
but that's all cuz he's scared
cuz he knows what's coming
11:23 PM Dustin: yup
me: any last words?
11:24 PM i think imma head out soon!
miss my rooom!
hahaha sad
Dustin: that's it... believe and enjoy.
me: yes...i always tell ya...but i gotta say..i really adore the Jesus living in my brother.
11:25 PM thank you oppa!

good night!
Dustin: you too
good night!
me: (:
