Romans 8:15-16, 15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: We have not recieved the spirit of bondage again...

How does suffering really work in day to day living. In the world suffering is drawing people to Jesus. Have you ever met worldly folk that seem more religious than the religious. They can carry on a conversation about the Lord, they even seem to have a love for him. Some could possibly be right...

You understand that a lack of suffering is not spirituality. When I dabbled around in what was called the faith ministries getting rid of all your suffering was the main push, and getting rich of coarse. The only ones that got rich that I know of were the ones making the claim if you give to...

No where in scripture are you given instructions to try to imitate Jesus, live like he lived, do the miracles he did and so on. The greatest hindrance to your Christian walk will be trying to imitate Jesus. There is a big push in religion to try and be like something your not, I call it the...

We made mention of the bible dividing soul and spirit last time, and the intention of the scriptures to do so. It bears mentioning again, your bible was intended for you to understand the difference between the two, soul and spirit. I'll give a couple scriptures that may have confused some at...

Did you know that Phillippians 3 is the most physiological book in the bible. If you have never really divided soul and spirit this is the place to learn. We must understand that Paul was the greatest psychologist that has ever lived because he can tell you what makes a human being. He tells you...

The Christian life is to be lived as if it was Christ living, because it is Christ alive in you. We are so accustomed to just living as a me, just a me with Jesus attached so I can go to heaven one day when I die. That is all we have ever known, when I was in the world it was me and the devil...

Phillippians 3:8-9, 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which...

In seperation or dividing you sperate that part of you that does not understand your completion. In other words you do not let your soul-mind dictate to you what happened in spirit the moment you believed. Unless you are able to accept facts, and some of us aren't, you seperate the mind from...

The greatest spiritual growth will come as you begin to understand Hebrews 4:12, 12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and...

There are two terms in the bible that will be keystone to understanding. First the term birthing, Jesus speaking of the cross said unless a person is born again they cannot know the things of God. Second is the term division, dividing soul and spirit and rightly dividing the word of truth. I...

An old man in a rocking chair Phillippians 3:8 8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, Have you won Christ, if you have...

All spiritual growth is in mind, you don't grow in spirit, you can't get anymore of Christ than you already have. Years ago when giving what we called an altar call, I would make the remark " if you need more of God, come up here." Well meaning but wrong, you can't get more of God like he only...

Grace is a subject when in discussion most of us are afraid of it. I mean we don't understand it in it's fullness. What is meant by that? If we start a conversation on grace your mind will go immediately to; "oh that means I can live anyway I want to and get away with it." Grace is one of the...

When the HolySpirit comes He is not going to talk about signs, wonders, and miracles. Jesus said He will testify of me, He will teach you me. We have had the HolySpirit doing all sorts of things, we have HolySpirit schools, we have HolySpirit meeting. I used to advertise our meetings, "like the...

The greatest mission of the HolySpirit is to reveal Christ in you. If you are going to see Christ as your life it will be the HolySpirit that reveals Christ in you to you as your only life. Since the day of Penecost there has been schism's over the ministry of the HolySpirit. What to do with the...

Colossians 1:27-28, 27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: 28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus...

At some point in our Christian walk with God mind change will come, must come. When you as a believer transfer from everything being you as the do-er, and God giving you strength to do it, to Christ as your life. If you ever wanted a part in anything, there it is, you with understanding take the...

Galatians 2:20 20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. What does Paul mean "nevertheless I live; yet not I," extraordinary to...

You know where the real trap for a believer and their new identity is; in believing when they go back to their old way of living, old life of sin, or just normal activity in separating yourself from Christ; you know what the trap is, you thinking that it is you. We have always felt we were the...
