    Being Faithful to God

    As I have said to you before what I am showing you is the meat of the word, it is hard to digest for the man that is still relying on his own intellect to discern rather than Spiritual discernment. When God sent to show these things he gave me two "Missions" summed up in two phrases. 1. Can the...

    Being Faithful to God

    What he is showing me does not contradict the word of God it rather deepens my understanding of it... for example asking, who are the saints in revelation, led to him showing me who the saints are in the church right now.... a concept much of the church does not distinguish between. My base...

    Being Faithful to God

    I am speaking of his active presence in our lives here, where he does not speak or teach or discipline you etc. @marks said on this post page 4... "I'm all about the Bible as our means to know God. We know Him in our spirit, however, if what we think we know is not Biblical, well, we need to...

    Being Faithful to God

    That is true, those who come to Christ later in life have already reached that state of brokenness and knowing that their own will and strength leads to failure, so their Transformation is accelerated in this regard. Hence they have a more dramatic conversion. Those brought up in the church have...

    Being Faithful to God

    You say Bible alone is the only way to know God.... that is textualism. God reveals himself to us by His Spirit, that is the full council of God, and this is confirmed in the word of God. (1 Corinthians 2:10-11) When fundamentalism pushes itself to the extreme and becomes mere textualism and...

    Being Faithful to God

    If you choose to live in Sin, He will remove His presence from you.... AKA quenching the Spirit. I Can only speak for myself, but being Born again at a young age there were times i was living in sin, and the Spirit was not with me.... But he was still there. In other words, He never left me...

    Being Faithful to God

    Can't you see this in what I have written to you here? Do We Know the Love of God for us because the bible tells us, or because we have experienced it? Do we know truth because the Bible tells us, or because we experience this, by arriving at the truth via the Spirit of Truth? Do we Know our...

    Being Faithful to God

    There are times he has punished me as well, and let me assure you they are destructive. Has God never been angry with you? Sometimes scripture only gives us clues as to the truths the Holy Spirit reveals to us... You judge these things as error because you cannot find proof texts in scripture...

    Being Faithful to God

    But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. (1 Corinthians 2:10-11)

    Being Faithful to God

    I disagree, God is revealing to His children things beyond what is contained in the word of God, for which we are only left with faith to believe them or not. The way is outlined to test the Spirits in scripture, yet none do that anymore instead they just condemn the teaching because it does not...

    Being Faithful to God

    This is the key to receiving the discipline of God, otherwise it is punishment. constructive discipline vs destructive discipline. I Am all about the Holy Spirit as my teacher to Know God, the Spirit of Truth.. John 15:26, John 16:13 This is the difference between myself and most...

    Being Faithful to God

    I Never said anything about the second death in my comment not sure where you got that part of my quote from? Did you alter my comment? Once again, you fail to interact with my whole comment, and fail to address all the points in there, and instead pick up two lines that i said and distort my...

    Being Faithful to God

    His discipline is only constructive when we receive it as such. It can also be destructive in that it can be a punishment to lead us to repentance.

    Being Faithful to God

    I Have done nothing but confirm this truth to you over and over again, We are saved by grace, sanctified by grace, and perfected by grace. It is when we stop relying on our own will and strength that we overcome. I have given you personal experiences with this with regard to my alcohol use and...

    Being Faithful to God

    I Will answer this for you as well. The church as we know it today is full of half hearted believers, they have Jesus as savior but have not made Him their LORD. A Half hearted believer does not enter the Promised land just like the Hebrews who crossed the Jordan and were believers failed to...

    Being Faithful to God

    The highway to hell is paved with good intentions. Faith without works is dead faith.... Faith produces works, We are His workmanship created for good works.... (Ephesians 2:10).... Your peaching only half the Gospel.

    Being Faithful to God

    Yes, so you will be judged for your works as a born again believer, whether they are righteous or not (Motives of the heart) and you will be awarded accordingly. The question then is why are you teaching newborns to be content with where they are instead of teaching them to grow in their faith?

    Being Faithful to God

    What does it mean to cry "abba, Father" to you? It means that when we reach a childlike faith of humility, submission and teachability is when he can begin to work in us, and that His discipline becomes constructive.

    Being Faithful to God

    You will be judged for your works, what you have done with the talents he has granted you, and be awarded or humiliated accordingly, it is called the Judgment seat of Christ. Some will be great in heaven others will be least, and it is usually the ones who think they are great on earth that will...

    I really saw the Holy Spirit or holy Ghost with my own eyes. What does that mean?

    A Person full of the Holy Ghost can "glow" or "radiate". Many of the early church paintings depicted this as a Halo over the saints, or an aura around them. I have witnessed this several times in my life, the first being when I witnessed this around a missionary from Africa when I was Baptized...
