My Thanks To All

[Brother Price]

I want to take this time to thank one and all for the kind words of consideration and kindness shown on this forum, despite my past ignorance and mistakes. You really have no idea what that means to me at this time in my life.

I want to thank TV1a (Troy) for the kindness shown to me, despite our past run-ins as well as the words of wisdom and encouragement given by the entire AFF family. I also want to thank everyone who has given a response to my blog postings.

BTW, the new address is under my profile. The blog was not deleted, but just an address change.

To all the AFFer's thanks so much for your kind words. Much love to all :yourock

Daniel Alicea, I may take you up on that coffee invite soon. Need to find time to rest and relax between what has happened lately.

Love to all,

William (Thank the Lord I'm back!) Price

[Scott Hutchinson]

We love you but just be yourself and your self-worth comes from being in the grace of God and not conformity to man's image.

[Hoovie]

You are a good man Will Price.

[Brother Price]

Bless ya, Bro. Scott. We need to get back in touch again. You are a blessing to me. Thanks.

[Brother Price]

Bless you too, Stephen. I am almost at tears here. Seems silly, and excuse me if it is, but with all I have been through the past few months, those words mean mountains to me.

[Scott Hutchinson]

I always have loved you in Jesus Christ,I only want God's best for you.

[Brother Price]

I know, brother. I have just...I don't know...gotten fed up. I got tired of a four way tug of war on me, and decided to cut all strings, and find who I am in Christ. Old man Ronzo says it best on another forum about the state of mind I am in right now...

The flames will not brand me. I am fireproof...

[freeatlast]

Bless ya, Bro. Scott. We need to get back in touch again. You are a blessing to me. Thanks.

Tis it really you Bill..or do we look for another?

[Brother Price]

As real as that store bought fi...I mean that fish you caught in your avatar! :D

How are ya, freeatlast?

[Scott Hutchinson]

Bro.Bill we all have made mistakes but I'll throw you a lifeline and a helping hand.

[BoredOutOfMyMind]

I left the forum for a while, and may not be back on. I abandoned no one. But, whatever you surround yourself with, you eventually become. I have no desire to become a backslidden, rebellious, individual who hates standards enough to denounce them at every chance.

I am taking some good advice. I only am returning here because a wonderful friend of mine told me of this thread.

I have taken the liberty to merge your nicks

[John Atkinson]

Bro Price,
I love you. Christianity is about the things we are are for. not what we are against.

I love you bro. Find a place that isn't way far on the right or the left. and settle yourself there. If you want to talk, pmme for my cell

I have bever been your enemy bro

[BoredOutOfMyMind]

After talking within the admin area, we have made a choice to totally wipe clean all infractions from our active posters. While the infractions dropped off from your site, the admin team continued to see every infraction, even those that were reversed. We want this to be a time of "new beginnings" here, and felt that this would help in promoting that. So ALL current and former infractions and warnings have been erased. Thanks to Boomm for all the tireless work. He had to do these one at a time.

Thanks to each of you for being here, and know that you are what makes this place what it is. Let today be a fresh start for all of us to make this a great forum in its own right!

Per this declaration and proclamation of a day of Jubilee being 08/24/07, and the last post being 07/19/07

The ban on Brother Price is lifted.

Go and sin no more.

:bliss

[OneAccord]

It takes a good man to admit to his mistakes. And it takes alot of good men (and women, too) to help a brother recover from his mistakes. Glad to see ya with us, Brother. Just follow the Lord. I can sense that you have a tremendous desire to do just that!

[Brother Price]

Thank you...Thank You...THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


THANK YOU BOOM!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANKS ADMINS AND MODS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HAPPY DAY!!!


:yourock :yourock :bliss :bliss

[Scott Hutchinson]

I'm glad to see our brother back and I'm so glad for the mercy of God.

[Ron]

Welcome Back Bro Price.

[Brother Price]

Thanks Ron! Good to be back. :D

[Brother Price]

To Bro. Atkinson, I know you have not been my enemy. Thanks for the kind words.

To OneAccord, you have shown me love in those few words. Thanks so much.

Love to all!

BTW, when is Daniel Alicea coming on? Want to meet him for that coffee invite! :D

While I read your posts and followed what's happening with your family, I have to apologize for not being Christian enough to put aside thoughts and feelings I have about you and have had for several years in your comings and goings.

I'd love to offer the olive leaf, but I'm waiting for the next time you mention me on your website in a negative fashion as you have done a few times already. I have a feeling it won't be long.

Like I said, I'm not Christian enough. Perhaps this is where you are a better person than I.

Nothing wrong with being cautious there HO.

Time will tell is what my pastor usta always say about things.

I'm off to for a walk but check your pm.

We'll hookup this weekend, perhaps.

***Welcome BP****

*****Warning******I met DA in New York City for coffee....I HAD TO PAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! (psst, I would do it again too, he he)

[OneAccord]

Why do you want to talk to Dan? I'm more Apostolic than he is (and I'd PAY for the coffee and a donut to boot!) :donuts:donuts

Hey Bro Price,

God bless and good to see you here again.

;) umm, sister, thats 'olive branch' I've made the same mistake too, over and over, well remember the bible says 7x70 we MUST forgive, don't gotta like it, but gotta DO IT., we are ALL blessed 7x70+ just to still be favored by Him and allowed into His prescence! No one is better or worse than the next person, seriously. A N D, I am practicing what I just 'preached', lol :D

I know you're going to hate this H1 but I'm in total agreement with you Sister. Time proves all things, and I hope BP shows some kind of good behavior. I just feel that you are 100% dead center on target.

Sorry Bill, but I have a feeling you understand. :)

So true.

Sincerity is a must.

Tis true, but I said nothing about not forgiving him. ;)

And thanks for the correction on the olive branch. It's been a long day. LOL!

[simplyme]

Well sometimes when people EXPECT something, they can't believe that they might be disappointed and do not prepare for it.

Bro, I think she is using some wisdom, and that doesn't make her wrong. Hey she was going to extend a leaf, and maybe later she will offer a branch.

I think BP understands, no hard feelings.

True, I stand corrected., didn't mean to infer that., it just may have sounded like I did. Just not been my day., better go hit the :bedtime

[HeavenlyOne]

Well sometimes when people EXPECT something, they can't believe that they might be disappointed and do not prepare for it.

And when someone doesn't expect something, they are blindsided when it happens and wonder why they never saw it coming when they should have been prepared! ;)

[Evang.Benincasa]

Well sometimes when people EXPECT something, they can't believe that they might be disappointed and do not prepare for it.

John the Baptist expected fruit of repentance before he would baptize.

Time is the greatest tool that works on all of us. We must be willing to wait if someone doubts our sincerity. Or even if they believe us and are willing to give us a chance.
All I'm saying is that BP needs to just do the right thing.

Probation periods are not wrong, especially if someone has constantly flip flopped too many times. BP will understand.


In Jesus name

BRO? pls say you're kidding., check you PM's once again, ok? and no I didn't even consider it a right or a wrong, per se, just giving a helping hand since i've myself have found out too late (and been embarassed) that I once wrote that.. *blush* meaning to say branch.
I think H1 understands., and she's already indicated that there are no hard feelings, ok? Ok. ;)

[simplyme]

And when someone doesn't expect something, they are blindsided when it happens and wonder why they never saw it coming when they should have been prepared! ;)
Been there done that., I KNOW., we've all been down STUPID Lane., but for trying to do right by JESUS and "turn the other cheek" we CAN get burned once agin. I know how hard it is to trust someone that has that tendency.
:D

[HeavenlyOne]

True, I stand corrected., didn't mean to infer that., it just may have sounded like I did. Just not been my day., better go hit the :bedtime

There are times I really hate cable internet!


Have a good night. ;)

[Brother Price]

As I was awakened by my loving Dad crawling to the bathroom, I decided to stay up and read some more of this forum. Glad I did. Makes me feel good to see the posts here, and I am thankful.

To HeavenlyOne and Bro. Benincasa, I appreciate just the probationary period. You will find that since this has started with my Dad, I have changed. Had friends forsake me, call me liberal, backslidden, and a liberal appeaser. You find out fast who true friends are. So, I understand the skepticism, and appreciate the chance to prove what the Lord has done in me.

Bro. Blume, Bro. Blume! How is my recently Californianized brother! Ate any of that good sushi yet? Praying the church there grows and is blessed.

Thanks again to everyone. If I forgotten you, please take no offense. It is only 2:25AM, and I did get all of about 3 1/2 hours sleep in total last night.

~~~Blessings!~~~

Hey, bro!

Yeah, I had some sushi. I must say I like the partly cooked stuff, though. Have not tried out and out sushi, raw, yet.

Thanks for the blessing.


We baptized three two weeks ago in Jesus' name!!

[Brother Price]

All right! That is awesome news!

We baptized one at Irvington last Sunday. The Lord is moving.

I know you are going through some things now and that has caused you to see things differently which is good.

However, I believe it might be good to publically apologize for bashing this forum that you now want to be a part of again. We are willing to give you another chance to prove yourself, but I think an apology would be a good place to start.

Grow roots, Bill, and be a tree planted near the Living Waters.

Trees with strong roots are not blown over by high winds.



Be "Bill Price" and no one and no thing else.


Don't strive to define yourself by titles, or by 'ministries', or even by the 'ministers' you surround yourself with. Strive to define yourself as God sees you...


Be content with what you have... because what you have are unimaginable riches if given to you be the Almighty God.

I know, Brother. I know. You know I know. I know that you know that I know. You know that I know that you know that I know that you know that I know you know.

[Brother Price]

I want to add this. It took some high winds, really high winds, to see how shallow my roots were. Wish I had shut up and sat down before this all happened.

[Ronzo]

We all learn from our mistakes, bro.

I'm thankful for friends who don't condemn me and ostracize me for my mistakes, but help me and encourage me to learn lessons from them.


Through my divorce, I have learned who my true friends are... and who the pretenders were.

I don't condemn you. I offer you encouragement and the hand of friendship... as I always have.

Bro, all of us who grew up in the Apostolic faith have encountered what you are going thru right now - the defining of who we are.

It's not just in the Apostolic church, but it seems to be more prevalent here, this peer pressure of which I speak. I know what it's like to be a young evangelist, and sit in the homes of preacher after preacher who had differing viewpoints, or had a hobby horse, and walk out of that house wondering, "What do I really believe?" And, sometimes, in good faith, you make decisions that you come to regret, but you did it with good intentions.

So, when you reach the point where you don't really care what others think about you, and you've defined what you believe and don't believe - trust me, it's much easier to sleep at night!

As my tag line says, "It's better to be hated for who you are than to be loved for who you're not".

As Bro. Scott says - just be yourself. You won't please everyone, but the only two that really matter are you and God.

I really REALLY like your signature line.
My whole life I've thought that same way, and been HATED even by my own parents, even before becoming a "saint"., GOD knew all along I'd be a tough one to reel in, but He loves a challenge, :D HE is so good to me.
