    The Rapture will be challenged, by the Great Doubt (slowing down?)

    Hi there, So I contend two things, here: one that the Holy Spirit reminds us of Jesus' Cross; two, that the inactivity of the Church, will lead to the battle of Armageddon. The concept I want you to understand, is that the world, in whatever state it is in, needs to see evidence of faith. When...

    Prayer Warriors

    This will be my final request of your prayers. Pray that my loved ones are brought to the realization of our beloved saviour, Jesus, the Son of God, the Christ! I feel as though my time will soon come to be.... 2 Corinthians 5:8 KJV we are confident, I say, and willing rather to be  absent...

    The Gift of Salvation

    John 3:16 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Many many people know the quote of this verse all over the world, but it takes an individual personal relationship with God to truly know...

    What you do in Heaven, you do *together* (selah)

    Hi there, So there is a simple test, to whether you are over-cooking your faith: are you doing it, together with others? In Heaven, you don't do anything, that is without friendship. Even if all you do is participate in Spirit, you wait till you are together in Spirit. There is no "reading the...

    Hope for backsliders! Your faith can get a second wind! (charging?)

    Hi there, So I have languished for a long, long time that I departed from the faith, as a teen - having had a reborn experience when I was even younger. I would always scour the skies so to speak, looking for the inspiration that would bring my faith back to life. Again and again I would come...

    You may preach Grace, but Greater Grace is about Greatest Inspiration (can you lead?)

    Hi there, So this is something that has been bubbling up in me for some time: the idea that Salvation is not of works, because it is of Grace, is well understood. What is happening though, is that that understanding can lead to choking the inspiration that is trying to ignite under the blaze of...

    If you are a believer like me, that means you are evaluating what every other believer says "from a position of godliness" (marriage?)

    Hi there! So I have been thinking more and more about what it means to be a believer, what I should be focusing on as a believer, what scriptures I should be believing. The more I think about it, the less it has anything to do, with what I want. For a start, I can't know everything that every...

    I really feel like God is holding me under the waves, to escape the (dragon's) fire - please pray I have enough oxygen to still serve the Lord (!)

    Hi there! So basically, I keep reaching a point where I realise "no, God did not want me to just have faith; if I had: I wouldn't have produced the fruit He wanted" I am sort of the lever between God and the world, but I can't function as the lever, if I have been burned - so God puts me under...

    Without faith you can't please God - but with inspiration you can please God more (joyous?)

    Hi there, Pleasing So I have really nailed what it is that confuses me, when people say "without faith you can't please God" and "you can't achieve salvation by works": their sentiment is respectable, and their earnestness admirable, but there is a problem with the way, in which they give no...

    What did Jesus say about our diversity, in the beginning? "I did not tell you [you were diverse] before, because I was with you"

    Hi there, Background So what has become apparent to me, after reading the thread "Why are you a Christian?" that we all have a diverse opinion, of Christ and His saving grace. It has also become apparent to me, in part after reading the thread "Would you surrender your own beliefs, for...

    The anti-Christ can resurrect sin and pretend to have created the world - what is faith's answer?

    Hi there, So I worked out what it was that makes the anti-Christ the opposite of Christ. He does not merely want to oppose Christ and His resurrection; far from opposing Christ, as one would imagine was death, the anti-Christ resurrects sin. If the anti-Christ resurrects sin, then the danger of...

    If you're not calm and spirited, you are not ready for the tribulation; if you are not spirited and calm, you are not ready for the rapture (ready?)

    Hi there! So I thought I would post this in the Eschatological forum, because this is where the most contention about what is coming is to be found. I am not trying to present a specific case, for the order of things to come, save that I believe the experience of the Rapture, is supposed to...

    I am stronger, the more I search for the Lord (you also?)

    Hi there, So, I have had it dawn upon me, that I am stronger, when I search for the Lord. It's just a simple fact. I'm not sure how it works, or why - but I know it works. There is something about Him, that is pure, even in the Holy Spirit. I think it must be that the Holy Spirit is now in Him...

    Jesus promises those who surrender for the Gospel, will receive a hundredfold *with persecutions* (truly!)

    Hi there, So I am a bekeeper you might say (I keep Jesus' words), and my focus is on the Holy Spirit to come. Something that has dawned on me, in searching the scriptures, is that our suffering on Earth will not be without reward, but that there will also be persecutions. In other words, for...

    What you've become in Christ... is not a work you do.

    - 1.) If a believer is "sinning and confessing"..... then they don't understand the Cross of Christ or the Blood Atonement, or the New Covenant, yet. So, that is the "natural mind" not understanding the 'new Covenant".. or the Grace of God, or being = "made righteous". If i say that all the...

    God is "God", by faith (considering?)

    Hi there, So I think one of the things that confuses a lot of people, in this life, is the idea that they are ruled by a "God" that asserts Himself, to the exclusion of everyone else. This could not be further from the truth. The reality is, that God applies a standard, to everyone, including...

    In the beginning, the messenger and the message were One.

    Hi there, So, just to throw in a hard ball, there is a way to envisage the beginning, that makes sense of what we now come to believe is the "moment" (the moment we are in). It's not so much a claim about Heaven on its own or Earth on its own (as they are in Genesis), as it is a claim about...

    Suffering unites awareness (around an important focus), but suffering with tolerance, unites the heart with God (selah)

    Hi there, So this is not so much a look at what we suffer, so much as what that suffering becomes, when we work with it. On its own, suffering has a utility, that should not be ignored: it makes us "aware". If we didn't suffer, we would never have awareness of what is causing the suffering and...

    It slowly dawns on Mankind, that the flesh profits nothing, and more than that: the place (in Heaven) for the flesh cannot retain it (expectations?)

    Hi there, So I write these things, as much for my own clarity, as anything else. This time, I am addressing the expectations that Mankind has of the Lord. What are these expectations? Well, they are basically that the flesh of Mankind keep living. In other words, not only do men not want to...

    If the light is your foundation, the universe is your footstool (ready?)

    Hi there, So this is a truth designed to push your faith, a little. The point is not that words give power, but that what they give power to has great meaning. And what is the use of "great meaning", it is able to sift out the weaknesses in your belief and give them strength, that is, through...
