    Growing In His Image & Likeness

    Yes He chooses us yet you still decide to live holy. It is a command by God to live holy but it is up to you to decide whether you will or not. It's not God's will that any man should perish fr his sins but if a man does not decide to live holy as Hebrews 12:14 states they shall not see the Lord!

    The Cost of Discipleship

    I agree. We lack the discpline to be a disciple. Our minds, hearts, souls and spirits are not renewed and regenerated in many cases. We either express this faith in hyper-emotionalistic fanaticsim, or in just a intellectual meditation or ponderance. Many of us lack a true living relationship...

    Spiritual/demonic oppression

    I have seen spirits/demons manifest in a variety of ways. Some act out fanatically and flamboyantly, while others do things subtle and are revealed in your every day walk. Main thing is to be guided by the word of God make sure its in you and that you are influenced by the Holy Spirit.

    Handling the various gifts - wisely

    I agree. God is a God of order! Dsiorder and confusion is not of God. The gifts of the Holy Spirit should be under the auspicies of the Holy Spirit, direction of God, motivation in the love of Christ, and counsel of your Godly leadership above you. With the Word of God as you stance and guidebook!
