    When we are born.

    when learning to make him the head, i have moved from victory to victory. That is the process of progressive sanctification at work in me, the Holy Ghost working in me. My Joy is being made complete, and the Joy of the Lord is my strength. This is not just intellectual fact, but an experienced...

    When we are born.

    I Have everything I Need in Christ Jesus, But need Him to help me implement those things he has provided for me, that i may fully trust his providence.

    When we are born.

    Sorry about the two part comment.... When we the body are complete we will perform greater works than the Son of Man did. When the Apostolic church was of "one accord" the Spirit manifested on them in Power. This is the Final outpouring which many believe will be seen in the true church before...

    When we are born.

    I Do not have a problem with this passage, because this is the goal of progressive sanctification when understood in full context. I Have a problem with how you and others interpret this as saying "we are in need of nothing" That we have no need to pursue the fulness of Christ which from other...

    Not at all, His gifts he has for us are limitless, Yet we want to limit them to our concept of what "complete" is. He will be eternally molding us into His image, and even then we will never be complete. He is the Potter we are the clay. God Bless,

    When we are born.

    I've been in this time of discipline since 2007, And his presence has guided me the whole time. Philosophical question for you, you need not answer online. You say you are complete in Him, but how can a mortal being such as we are recognize and understand what the fulness of an immortal God is...

    When we are born.

    When We are not saved we are sinful and children of the Devil, when we are born again we have to put away those sinful mindsets and habits Before Jesus can manifest in us fully. This is the work of the Holy Ghost in us, not our work, it is a gift of the Holy Ghost, and one that you should...

    Preparing for Persecution

    There is a large segment of Christians in the West that are Christians outwardly but are not rooted in the word. They are Church goers and sit in the pews amongst us, But when persecution comes they will fall away as it will not be to their benefit to remain church goers. The Church in the west...

    Battles, Wars, Victories and Defeats....

    And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light. Let us walk honestly, as in the...

    As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. (Revelation 3:19)

    When we are born.

    Agree with this part here, well said. Now if i could only get you to see how we (the proverbial we) are counter to God doing his will in us, Hence the need for discipline and sanctification. Please read my post of A.B. Simpson on Sanctification being a gift of the Holy Spirit.... Sanctification...

    Sanctification is a Gift of the Holy Spirit: A.B. Simpson

    Days of Heaven on Earth Wednesday, April 28, 2021 Sanctification is the gift of the Holy Spirit, the fruit of the Spirit, the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the prepared inheritance of all who enter in. It is the obtainment of faith, not the attainment of works. It is divine holiness, not...

    When we are born.

    So You are walking in the fulness of Christ now eh? How come you are not doing greater works than the Son of Man did? Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. (John...

    When we are born.

    The natural man is born naked, so too is the Spiritual man. We put on the clothing after we are reborn. Jesus used simple analogies to convey deep theological concepts. For example he used the analogy of a woman being Pregnant to illustrate the second coming, or agricultural concepts such as...

    When we are born.

    These verses speak of crucifying the Old man, and putting on the new man, a concept your theology does not include. Your theology denies the believer of cross carrying, Repentance, and our response to the cross that the apostles saw as the growth we as Christians need. The difference between you...

    When we are born.

    To You, "renewing the mind" means exactly the opposite of the intent of this verse. Renewing your mind is part of conforming to the will of God, It is about cross carrying and sacrifice, and Holiness, a part of the sanctification process. To You it is a turning on of a switch, a logical...

    Make room for Mystery: A. W. Tozer

    Make Room for Mystery Chapter 22 So finely are the lines of truth drawn, so delicately are the scales of wisdom balanced, that it is not a wonder that some tender-minded Christians become confused and adopt a discouraged attitude toward the Word of God. The beginner in Christ will not...
