    I'm so glad the living Spirit of God performed that act of rebirth, and enlivened your spirit. I'm glad you 2 have formed a personal relationship. There is nothing like it hey. I'm glad He had you access the bible. It is a great resource as it has recorded previously formed Spirit to spirit...

    It is possible to use this resource, the bible, throughout one's lifetime and gain many benefits from it. I was one of them. Though I don't use this resource much at all these days, it is still acknowledge it as a profitable one. My go to is a Person, not to a thing. I worship the Person...

    I don't think anyone would or could argue with this fact. May Satan would give it a crack.

    I think people can go access the bible book but not access God Himself. I think many people get to know about God revealed in the writings within the bible but have never had direct personal interactions together with Him. Now that's sad. He may say to them, away from Me, I never knew you...

    Personally I'm not concerned about those who find, hear, discover, receive God's words from whatever source and responds positively to them. I feel for those who hear His words and don't believe or obey them. The words of God found shattered throughout the bible are pretty useless to those who...

    Sadly many have left their faith in the risen and glorified Christ, according to the Spirit, Paul affirms. I am perfectly fine with judging myself. Then I praise God my Father for having mercy and extending His grace to me. I focus on what God has and is doing not what I have done. Let's...

    Whoever wrote this statement and what they were refering to when they used the word scripture I cant say for certain. Are parts of scripture in the bible? Are they all contained in the bible? I believe all scripture is beneficial. Are they essential? No. Helpful for sure. Can one live...

    Just a quick easy to answer question. Who made you judge and jury over God's kingdom? I don't recall ever hearing that He was stepping aside and giving someone else His throne. For those who reject, even deny Him He holds out His hand of love to exercise His mercy and grace. It only takes one...

    The fantastic thing is that the laws, statues, commands, words of God obviously weren't all written down. They are beneficial and profitable for sure. So to profit from what hasn't been recorded, yet given to us today from the same Source, isn't this a great thing my friend? Will you...

    My friend, Christ cannot be contained in anything. He's no genie. He's way beyond the 66, 73, 81 scrolls that were tied together that make up what is known as the bibles. I have Christ in me Who was partially revealed in these scrolls. He is revealing much more of Himself over the past 2000...

    And NO ONE. He is Sovereign this I know for the Spirit tells me so. What an amazing experience hey, to be drawn into the heart of our God and Creator. To not only see His heart but to partake of it, of Him and have Him become a very real part of our make up. I really enjoy seeing Him being form...

    Thereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises, that by these you might be partakers of the divine nature. What a fantastic picture comes to mind, of a large buffet, a smorgasbord laid out before us of the various components of the nature of the Divine ready for us to partake...

    For it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure. Without Him we can do nothing. With Him we can do all things. All glory to God!

    Yes it can be very challenging sister. Hardships often appear along our path in clumps. One after the other trying to discourage us and most of all, for me anyway, try to distract us from the focal point of our faith, the glorified Jesus, our Shepherd and Forerunner Who goes before us in the...

    Greater are Those within us than any outside in the world. I am bound to Christ and He is committed to me as in a marriage. I am one with my Divine Father and love Him because He first loved me. I possess Their Spirit and He possesses me. It's such a wonderful thing to know we are Their home...

    Absolutely, the information recorded in the bible book is not exhaustive. As John concluded in his gospel, This is the disciple who testifies to these things and who wrote them down. We know that his testimony is true. Jesus did many other things as well. If every one of them were written...

    I don't hear Him speak to me in an audible voice. He speaks to me in parables mostly. Often when I'm engaging with others. It's a 3 way conversation, when a person is speaking to me, I speak to Jesus and He gives me a parable to share with them in response. I learn so much myself as a result...

    Again I don't know why you are giving Satan the glory for the work of transforming grace performed in my life. The continual fruit of the Spirit seen by those who have known me for a long time is the proof, the evidence that a Holy, Godly Spirit lives here. His character is observed by others...

    I love my Father's words which He gives to mankind. If I understand you correctly, what you are objecting to and challenging me on is that I have been gaining the words of God, from God from an additional means besides the bible. To me it is the same Original Source, the mind of Jesus's Father.
