In our examination thus far of Heb 6:4-6 we have established that those who were ONCE enlighten, were definitely those who had previously been made righteous, cleansed by the blood, thus (at one time) true followers of the Lord, for the scriptures are quite implicit that, “truth [light...
We now continue with our examination of Heb 6:4-6 to determine to whom it applies. In our previous posts we took a look at the opening part of Verse 4, viz.
“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened…”
Upon investigation we established two facts,
1) That only those who have...
Isaiah 30:15 - "In quietness and confidence shall be your strength."
Dew is released when all is still. Rest occurs when we enter into God's purpose for our life.
If we will get still before the Lord, we will receive the revelation and strategy to move forward out of the hassles, anxieties and...
Matthew 12:37 - "For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned."
AFFIRMATIONS:
Today!... I make up my mind that I'm going to speak life to my situations and circumstances. I am going to the word of God to find out what He has to say about me and my...
Esther 4:14 - "... and who knows whether you are come to the kingdom for such a time as this."
You were made for such a time as this. You have become completely unafraid of what man might say. You will release a trailblazing fire behind you as you advance forward. You have hung onto the thread...
THE ENLIGHTENED continued
“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance...
THE ENLIGHTENED
“For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened…”
First of all what is implied by being “enlighten”, and who are those who possess this “enlightenment”?
The definition of the word “enlighten” as taken from the dictionary means to give (someone) greater knowledge and...
Many believers who have committed gross sins or who have been overtaken time and time again by some besetting sin convince themselves that they have committed the sin unto death, but let such remember this, the fact that they feel remorse and are heart broken, saddened, and long to return to...
"And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice, saying, 'Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani?' that is, 'My God, My God, why have you forsaken Me?'" Matthew 27:46
Many believers have recently stepped with the Lord into the great unknown transitioning from one season to the next; a...
"And it shall come to pass at that time, [that] I will search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that are settled on their lees: that say in their heart, The LORD will not do good, neither will He do evil." - Zephaniah 1:12 KJV
"Settled", according to Strongs Concordance, means to...
Joshua 10:12,13 - "Joshua said to the LORD in the presence of Israel: 'Sun, stand still over Gibeon...The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day.'"
Maybe you've wanted to give up because no matter how hard you try, you still seem to feel powerless over...
"But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others, which have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. For this I say unto you, by the word of...
“For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain. But if I live on in the flesh, this will mean fruit from my labor; yet what I shall choose I cannot tell, for I am hard-pressed between the two, having a desire to depart and be with Christ, which is far better.” (Phil 1:21-23 NKJV)
“In no way...
John 17:16,17 - "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth."
We've been placed in another world; our citizenship is in heaven.
We are to live by heavenly principles, and one of those principles is that of framing our world with...
Revelation 3:8 - " I have placed before you an open door that no one can shut."
The key is seeing the door and walking through it by "His faith" -- He is the author and finisher of our faith...real faith; faith that comes by hearing and hearing His Word.
There are other things that we are...
Once again take a look at the preceding verse (Phil 1:20), "According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also, Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life or death."
Mark the expression whether...
We continue once again with our look at the comments made by one of our forum members who believes that when a Christian dies he (apart from his body) does not sleep in death to await the resurrection, but goes immediately to be with the Lord. As proof of his position he supplied the following...
Be aware that the enemy would come with distraction after distraction only to rob you, and deposit within you despondency and numbness putting you in a sense of shock and longing -- not know which way to go -- to the left or to the right.
In times of trouble, call in His presence, for where you...
Romans 12:2 (TPT) - "Stop imitating the ideals and opinions of the culture around you, but be inwardly transformed by the Holy Spirit through a total reformation of how you think. This will empower you to discern God's will as you live a beautiful life, satisfying and perfect in His eyes."

Luke 11:13, "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him."
In the story of the prodigal son where the father killed the fattened calf and gave the returned son the signet ring and the...
