aka, cognitive dissonance....occurs when under bondage to a cult-like spirit. Reasoning can't deliver from bondages, so it takes prayer (spiritual weapons) for the Lord to work in their life and heart.

That's all I'm talking about brother, letting the Lord work in us. Have a good evening.

You're taking this completely amiss. And I believe my dream was given to point the way and strengthen me for what was coming, not because I'm yet walking in what it was pointing to. The Holy Spirit leads and guides us....He just happened to do this with a dream that time. It was Jesus leading...

I agree.....but the dream I think was about going deeper with the Lord....just occurred that it reminds me of when the prophet was walking deeper and deeper into the river until it was over his head....I see that as being when the Lord takes the reins and we let Him take us with His current, so...

ok thanks.....I will tentatively agree with this and wait for the Lord to confirm it. Song of Solomon talks about a king having virgins without number (believers without much intimacy with the Lord), three -score concubines and four-score queens. Speaking of three different levels of intimacy...

There must be a reason why Jesus said to seek first the kingdom of God and HIS righteousness. And blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they will be filled. You might find this encouraging. Had a dream once, where I was underwater (in over my head?) and walking around...

But to be holy is to be like Jesus, true?.....to be as He is in the world. So one who is holy will be all that He was when He walked this earth. He does love everyone, but I think of holiness as a matter of how much we love Him and give back to Him in return for His love. All He wants is our...

No it's not a competition. We are all individuals with our own unique corner of the battlefield so to speak. It would be comparing apples to oranges to try and compare different people. We all are even given differing measures of grace and faith to start with. The bible says He chastises who...

For sure most of us don't....but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. We need to have faith and hope first of all to believe it is possible, that Jesus has made the way for it, and then we also need faith to trust Him enough to surrender our life to Him as a living sacrifice. Yes, that is the...

Yes, and the church still gets made fun of....deservedly so all too often, in my opinion. But maybe some of these ones were mistaking an emotional experience for a genuine spiritual one....? I seem to have noticed at times, when the flesh gets hold of certain truths there is a kind of pressure...

Amen, I agree that our flesh and flesh nature of the old man will never be perfect, which is why we are instructed not to walk in it or sow to it, but reckon it dead. Easier said than done at times. But I believe there is a time or season to be encouraged and a time or season to be the...

Amen, completely agree. Think that is what "Egypt" represents in one way....slaves/captives of religious institutions that try to get you making bricks without giving you the necessary straw. I didn't know that. They all used to actually teach this? I've never heard it taught anywhere at...

Might it be a case of the "yes but not yet" of things? All things have been put under the feet of Jesus but we do not yet (necessarily) see all things put under. We are complete in Christ, in that His seed has been planted in the believer who has come to genuine faith and received...

Right now I'm reading the Secret of God's presence that Murray wrote. I also read it many years ago, but understand it better now. I gather that with Keswick it might have been that the flesh was handling something that was truth, as so often happens. Kind of making it into a compulsory "law"...

Amen, I absolutely agree! It might have been......myself I can't keep up with and decipher everything in the world of politics, so can't verify or agree/disagree one way or the other on a lot of things. However, I can say I've talked with white South Africans who have told me there is systemic...

Well as we've talked about before, I believe the problem is that many remain sitting on their laurels at the starting line instead of being in the race with their whole heart so as to win it, to the finish. They aren't following Christ and growing in Him. So I partly agree with you. Churches...

The devil tempts, deceives and lies. But man is certainly held responsible and accountable if we heed the devil and allow him access to our lives. I agree we can't "blame" the devil for our choice to heed and follow him. It is new testament scripture written after the death and resurrection...

Spiritual reality isn't always manifested on earth....that is why we must pray and battle that God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven. The devil has been defeated as far as heaven is concerned.....in the hearts of those who have received Christ.....in our new man. But our old man and...

There is an old true saying is that the solution to one problem is often the beginning of another. Even scarier if the people in charge believe the ends justify the means. God is waiting for transgression to come to the full, before finally judging it all. As in Daniel, and as we have the...

There are errors in Protestantism and even more so in recent times. This isn't a competition between "Protestantism" and Catholicism, as I've already said. We happen to be talking about Catholicism versus the true gospel and biblical Christianity as given to us by Jesus and the apostles...
