I don't know...if it is why can you not just agree instead of being defensive.....hmmmm? ;) It's not in our own best interests to resist the washing of the water of the word, but let it do it's work because it truly is for our good.

The way I look at it, we should let the WORD be preached, in season and out of season (whether it's convenient or feels good to some or not) as long as we leave ourselves and our flesh out of it, but leave room for the Lord to work and bring any needed conviction or not, and leave it to the...

Spirit led biblical meditation is SIMPLY mulling over His word prayerfully and seeking His illumination.

There is a way that seemeth right to man but leads to death. Wisdom of the flesh and the world does not lead to life...only God's wisdom does, and His ways are not man's ways. And it's always for our good to just yield to God's conviction and not resist or attack it. The simplicity of...

Formulas, methods, gimmicks and rituals are not of God, they are of the flesh and the evil one. We are to be led by the SPIRIT. Jesus never healed the same way twice as recorded in scripture....if He had continued using the same "method" that worked the first time He wouldn't have been able to...

Pray it stays that way.....because these aren't business-as-usual times we're living in now. We must not live by emotions (being allured through the flesh) but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.

Amen. It comes in through the flesh and it's wisdom, the wisdom of the world. We must not follow Constantine's example.......must be not unequally yoked with unbelieves but come out from among them and be ye separate

As does the RCC sister! We must not forget this! Trump is just nominal like Catholics, and he is surrounded by RCC....Vance is RCC, Kennedy Jr. is RCC. Politics is one thing, but we must guard our hearts and not "follow" these men. Must not be unequally yoked with unbelievers...but be ye...

Bang on brother. Vance is Roman Catholic, as is Kennedy Jr. Trump is nominal like Catholics.....he said recently that good people go to heaven and bad people go to hell.....he is not born of the spirit and received Christ. It is easy to be deceived when people talk about God and appear to be...

I'm not sure whether I understood your post or not. If you're saying that believers need to be concerned about being spiritually deceived far more than what governments of this world do, then I agree!

In God the way up higher....is down. In a manner of speaking....because God's ways are not man's ways. Those references to children are not talking about immaturity, but are giving us a key to becoming mature. His strength being perfected in our weakness.

Amen. Building on and growing our faith. We are learning to become as little children depending on our heavenly Father, His spirit...and this is "how" we are entering the kingdom of God, as I believe that scripture is implying. And by experience too - when we are in the spirit we are walking...

What characterizes little children....for one thing it is that they are relying implicitly on their parents, not on themselves.

Amen.

No jab was intended.

Spiritually discerned brother. By the Spirit. Comparing spiritual with spiritual. Revealed to little children, and hid from the wise and learned, so we must become as little children. 1Co 2:12-14 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we...

The details aren't important. His strength (power) is made perfect in our WEAKNESS (softness, pliableness, yieldedness), not in our strength. And that way too, He gets the glory (is glorified) and not us.

I think we just should not always take things of scripture too literally.....they were written for the heart/spirit, our inner man, to convey spiritual truths in a picture, not for the logical literal mind of the natural man.

Think prayer itself can be seen to be part of the ploughing and preparing the soil of our hearts on a personal level: "rend your hearts and not your garments", "break up your fallow ground", and "by reason of breakings they purify themselves." I wonder if even in allowing our hearts to be...

I've never thought to define the role of the Holy Spirit. Perhaps I would say it's God's power and presence with us and in us on earth. How would you define or describe it? He does so many things I 'm not sure I can define it. Prayer doesn't contradict that we are Christ's body on earth. We...
