Hi there, So Jesus plainly said "pray that you be counted worthy to escape all these things that will come to pass and to stand before the Son of Man" (gospels, from memory). But are people praying that? I don't think so! Not continually anyway. This is serious! This is life-changing! Stand...

Hi there, So this is a simple revelation, about the Word of God. Yes, we can trust this or that scripture - "What I say to you I say to everyone: Watch!" or "You shall be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect" - that's all well and good. Indeed the Devil will flee even if you resist him...

Hi there, So I have coined the idea that "all life is sanctific" (sacrosanct, holy) meaning all life has value that is intrinsic to being alive. It is our sanctity that establishes our soul and our soul that feeds on our sanctity. Jesus was the most sanctified of any of us, and He imparted His...

Hi there, So I just wanted to get a feel for your faith, out there: there should be some kind of prophecy, that you would hold greater than all the others - it gives an example of what kind of strength God has given you, right? Like is the whole hot/cold thing when it comes to Churches, going...

Hi there! Well, I'm afraid I have some bad news: fools are here to stay. In the beginning there were very few fools, because God did greater and greater things, as Witness of His Creative Glory. But in the end, there will be a great number of fools, that look very much like gods but being...

Hi there, This verse literally saved me, from myself. Specifically, I realised that I was making plans constantly, without trusting the Lord at all. Even in meditation, I would try to reach a state that I thought was stable - not what the Lord was giving me, should He be willing. If feel a...

Hi there, So in Creation you love Jesus - the Christ. What do you love in Evolution? Darwin? Jesus said "go the extra mile"; Darwin said? If you love Jesus, you go the extra mile and you remember that He suggested it (and can be humble); if you love Darwin and he doesn't ask you to do...

Hi there! So this is just an exercise in commitment. Your life is going to end. You can try to end it, yourself. Or you can end it, in the Holy Spirit. The typical life to aim for is the good life - three score years and ten (70 years). At some point, even if you don't get the good life, your...

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...

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...

Hi there, So theologically we may identify the Wilderness, as being "outside the Law". Wilderness merely denotes that you are no longer engaging with the Law, to fulfil it, despite the curse (the curse that it can't make whole, only point to wholeness). What we do in the Wilderness, is merely...

Hi there, So I was going to promote something, that I thought was scripturally true, but the Holy Spirit interceded and warned me that I should not make it known. He said that if I made it known, that people would think they could do it in their own strength, and we would altogether fail. Not...

Hi there, So the perennial question about God allowing suffering has a simple answer. It is not an answer that changes that we must suffer, just that the suffering has a purpose. That purpose is life-long, and it means that we can acclimatize to the suffering we must endure. Being able to...

Hi there, So the Lord inspired a brilliant quote, in me - and I'm dying to share! You know the Golden Rule, right? What about the Golden proverb? What do you think? Is there longevity in these words? Do they agree with your soul? The power of it, is that this proverb looks at the Golden Rule...

Hi there, So this is a stretching exercise, for your mind. There is something in our lives, that we always "do". I tend to do things as a "rule" if I can; other people might try to "perfect" something or be "innocent" in a certain way or be "pure" more and more. All these things are good, until...

Hi there, So there are two specific things, that are an encouragement to us, while we dwell on Earth. These two things, the Holy Spirit gives, as consolation to us, for having faith in the Christ and His Resurrection. The first is simple: we simply do not enjoy sin, any more. Our sin is, as it...

Hi there, So I wanted to post this thread, mostly for myself (at least to begin with). I frequently have doubts, that I am living the Christian faith and I have concerns about arbitrary acts of faith, that don't have a standard of some kind. One of those standards that I think applies, is how...

Hi there, So I am concerned for lost souls here; there are two types of soul: believing and earthly. For each of these there is a destiny, the believing soul heads to Heaven and the earthly soul tries to stand on Earth. Neither of these things is right or wrong, but as the Lord wills, so is...

Hi there, So there is a simple observation to make here: if the Holy Spirit teaches and brings to remembrance, the Devil will refuse to remember or be taught. As a going concern, that will make things quite difficult for the unbeliever and even for the believer, to the extent that they are in...

Hi there, So I had this idea in general, that we could all pray for dreams that would help - whoever. But I think it confused people what they should be praying they dream. So I have narrowed it down to just one person, who I will meet before the end of my life. I want to be accustomed to how...
