Hi there, So this is a simple proverb that has helped me immensely, so I thought I would share: Just think this over "I am not well, but I don't need to rush to curing myself", "I am prepared to laugh, but not at everything", or "as happy as I am at my cure, there is room for improvement" -...

Hi there, So there is something in common, between God and Man: both of them respond favourably to gratitude. I'm not exactly sure what the effect is called, but it has been established that flattery works, even when you know you are being flattered. In this sense, God is great at taking a...

Hi there, So I just wanted to speak a little about being free in the Spirit. The scope of the Spirit's freedom is in the scriptures. It is good to search the scriptures, for this reason. However, it is easy to fall in to the trap of thinking, that specific verses are there "just for you". How...

Hi there, So there is a simple fact that I think a lot of us overlook: you are rewarded more for saying "faith without works is dead" than you are for saying "we are under Grace". What is the difference? The difference is maturity. More people realise that their faith requires something of...

Hi there, So I have thought long and hard, about why I believe (and what I believe) and I have made very little progress! But something that has encouraged me, is simply that what God created couldn't be as infinite as it is, unless God had willed it to be so. Matter on its own, does not beg...

Hi there, So as much as the Devil is a scapegoat for evil, I wonder what it means that the Devil has never "eaten the forbidden fruit"? When he accuses us before God, part of the struggle is that the Devil's sin is far sleighter, than the sins of man. The Devil tempts man, but he himself takes...

Hi there, So I won't make a long story about this, but I caught the world sinning and I realised what it was doing in sin: it was adding sin to a hard heart. This is something the world does in iniquity, not because it willingly wants to sin and sin more. The flaw is of course that they don't...

Hi there, So just thinking on spiritual things, for a little while, I learned something about Babylon (MYSTERY) that I want to share. Now God at some point says "come out of her, lest you share in her sins" but what is it that Babylon "sins"? The answer simply is: she conceals the cross. Why...

Hi there, So this is just a shout out to all the people who have developed the germ of faith, having been watered by the Lord and given the soil of His Church. You need to pray for the One that lead you to Christ! Say "Lord, thank you for the One that lead me to You, protect and keep them, in...

Hi there, So there is a verse that says "God will not always strive with Man" and another that says "they are blinded, lest they turn and God heal them - that is, in their fallen state" (OT, from memory, my addition). These two things are not evidence of disease in their own right, but I think...

Hi there, So it dawned on me recently that what you say is neither here nor there: but what saves! Jesus Himself said "chasing after Me to be the Christ, is nothing to Me" (paraphrase gospels, from memory) that is "when they say 'here is the Christ' or 'the Christ is there', do not go after...

Hi there, Jesus said, "wherever two or three are gathered in My Name, I am there in the midst of them" (gospels, from memory). Well, if we are united around this website, Jesus is united with us! I don't know what else to say, this is just so great! Lord willing, Jesus will be in our midst...

Hi there, So this is a slightly misleading Christianese saying "there are three things you need to be on watch for: the world, the flesh and the Devil". I say misleading, because it suggests that the Devil is the least formidable challenge and a close relationship between the flesh and the...

Hi there, So I have schizophrenia (which means my neurological wiring is limited) and I struggle because the Devil does not respect that I need space. I have fought the Devil many a time and have always believed that if I just inch further to recovery, I will be better off. I have never doubted...

Hi there, So I know I'm not imagining it, because there was an illustration of it in the newspaper - the whole world went into a period of darkness, around 2010 (I vaguely remember) and it just seemed to stay with people on Earth for years. I know people of other times have experienced darkness...

Hi there, So I dreamed this up one day, and it stuck with me, so I thought I would share. The Love Commandments: You shall have one Love You shall not debase Love You shall not defame Love You shall love the entire day of rest You shall make your love worthy of your parent's Love You shall...

Hi there, So yes, this just occurred to me now: we should be praying "Thankyou Father, that Your Son's Gospel has gone out to all the nations of the Earth - we say by faith in His Name". By doing this, we enter into the labor that is required and fix our sight on the goal - this will make us...

Hi there, So from the title of this thread, you should already be able to work out that they purpose in Heaven is to empower. The joy you get from serving the Lord, is from serving, and while waiting on the Lord serves, the Lord is not always there. If the Lord is not there, you need to be...

Hi there, So there is a bit of a problem with my faith: sometimes I want the time to pass quickly, sometimes I want the time to pass slowly, but I always want to be myself! If I am always myself, how can I have the time pass both slowly and quickly? I need prayer! I don't think I am alone in...

Hi there, So Jesus quoted a verse from the old testament to His disciples (gospels) "I will strike the Shepherd and the sheep will be scattered", but what you may not have considered, is that this can be reinterpreted from a different angle. Test this in the Holy Spirit and see if it makes...
