    This is the difference: believers ask for their soul to be resurrected, non-believers ask for their sin to be resurrected (deciding?)

    Hi there, So listen, I was struggling with a sin/a temptation for a long time, then I finally kneeled and turned to the Lord and in the process I realised that I had had a fundamental change of approach. I used to think what mattered was my flesh and that my soul would be ok as long as my flesh...

    These prayers chip away, bit by bit - it's very encouraging: please pray for all the relationships that are destroying people's lives (alone?)

    Hi there! So I am becoming quite encouraged that the prayers requested on this forum work. I know there will be examples coming, but at the moment I just have a sense that there are very genuine prayers being prayed here. So that's that. What I would like to pray, at the moment, is that God...

    Debate: the number one thing that Jesus wants, is for you to humble yourself (and be One?)

    Hi there, So this is my idea of a debate topic. The topic is clear, but it is unlikely to make everyone agree. The topic is this: the number one thing that Jesus wants, is for every one of us to humble themselves? Do we need to be humble? I think God is abundantly ready to humble Himself. I...

    When the Lord returns, He will show the world how to trust the Holy Spirit, be godly in the Holy Spirit and proceed with the Holy Spirit to God

    Hi there! So here is something interesting, how can we be ready to receive the Holy Spirit, from the perspective of the Return of the Lord? The Return of the Lord will herald many things, but most of all, it will herald a Revelation of how to relate to the Holy Spirit. We will learn, how to...

    If the Devil knows you will speak up, about sin that he takes for granted: he will avoid you (need space?)

    Hi there, So I struggled with sin, for a long time, when it came to desire and it seemed like the Devil always knew how to break down my defences, again and again. Then I started to say "ok, I'm tempted, but even though I am tempted I am going to call the sin out". The Bible says "if we confess...

    You may not realise this, but the Holy Spirit is better at Christianity than you (learning to trust Him?)

    Hi there, So this is a thread of praise and worship of God, but a special mention of the work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has a stronger faith than any of us. I used to think "I need to fix my Christianity" but in reality I needed to trust the Holy Spirit to do with my faith, what I...

    When everything happens at the speed of light, the Light ceases to need praise! (want to praise anyway?)

    Hi there! So this should really make you confident, that praising God is purely for the Love of it! Christ experienced life in relation to mortality, but keep Himself alive in God, by reminding Himself of the Psalms. But when Christ reaches His Father in Heaven, there is no longer separation...

    The real struggle at the moment is not the Devil, but Lucifer - Lucifer corrupts peace

    Hi there, So you may or may not get something from this, because I am speculating outside the Bible - but from my observation, Lucifer (not "the Devil") is at work at the moment. The Bible talks about the Devil being let out of the pit, to test the nations - my understanding is that that...

    Just a little proverb for you to contemplate: 'fabulous people know when to celebrate; spiritual people know *why*' (choice?)

    Hi there, So this is a simple proverb I came across, which deals with the attitude we should have when we celebrate - be it in the world but not of the world, or with faith or with family. The point is, there is nothing wrong with celebrating something, as long as you don't do it all the time...

    Brother's house sold (thankyou); the Devil keeps attacking my salvation (because at one point I backslid)

    Hi there, So just to get it out of the way: my brother is trying to sell a house of his (its really time critical, because it is costing money), I don't know that you can force someone to buy it, but maybe pray that someone will want to commit and that will help. The other thing is: the Devil...

    Joseph Prince "The Law says 'do not steal', Grace says 'find opportunities to give'" - what a sermon

    Hi there! So I was blown away by this message from Joseph Prince (exact sermon unknown, but I can find it if you want it); with one statement, he made it crystal clear what it is that is meant by "the Law and Grace". I was really impacted and had to tell you! The comparison is so simple, but so...

    God wants the innocent and the mature together - you can like being innocent, but at some point you have to want to be mature

    Hi there, Just another morsel of food for the newbies to focus on: its ok to like being innocent, but at some point, you have to want to be mature (selah) Paul in the letters talks about people being unable to eat solid food, because they are still babes in faith (Hebrew 5:13) Paul does not...

    "When you make His soul an offering for sin [...] He shall see His seed" (Isaiah 53:10) - a promise for the believer and backslider alike

    Hi there, So there is a constant repentance in Heaven, over the need to praise God more - of accepting that we have not praised Him enough. The problem on Earth is, we get discouraged easily and start to dismiss our faith lightly (I know I have). This should not be the case. The power of God...

    Linking a Man to an animal, is a sin - how much a slave to "linking with an animal" are Evolutionists (if sinning makes you a slave)?

    Hi there, So this is just calling Evolution's claim that we come from monkeys out for what it is: sin. There are lots of sins, but this one is particularly popular, at the moment. I defy it as a work of the Devil! Lord, we plead your blood over what "linking with an animal" robs us of, in Your...

    Jesus essentially taught the "fear of God" ("the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand"), the Holy Spirit will teach the "dread of God" (been absent long?)

    Hi there, So this thought is just going around and around in my head: the Holy Spirit will teach a greater degree than Jesus. Jesus essentially taught the "fear of God": repentance, righteous judgment, atonement - we were expected to understand that our fear of God should in fact be a...

    Constantly afraid there will be a big "die-off", when God calls many home (Lord help?)

    Hi there, So I have been wondering for some time what happens in the lead up to the tribulation and one thing I cannot account for is the notion of the Rapture - which I think may mean that a lot of people on Earth (of all faiths, meaning everyone) will "be called home" (die). It's something I...

    The brain is much more willing to obey you, if you limit micro-aggression (lessons from meditation?)

    Hi there, So I guess I am just putting this out there, because I have spent a lot of time meditating but never really had control of my brain. The point is simple: the brain is more willing to obey under certain conditions, than others. The condition the brain specifically responds to, is that...

    [can't discuss in non-Christian forum] If someone goes from being atheist to being agnostic, is that progress? (remember?)

    Hi there, So I can't discuss this in the non-Christian forum, because I am Christian - but I am really curious? If you were dead in your sins and denied there was a 'god', but the Holy Spirit started to work with you, and you started to think "it would be better if I didn't make up my mind or...

    The problem with urging people to apply themselves (in works), is that you need to go back further in the past to justify them (rushed?)

    Hi there, So there is a simple three-fold problem here and its starts with being dissatisfied with your own level of work, but it moves on to being dissatisfied with the works of others. This is no good. The point is that works with God are enjoyable and if you are not enjoying your work, the...

    Thinking you see the Cross, at the moment you see Christ (and not before), actually slows you down: but the Holy Spirit said to me "don't worry"

    Hi there! So I had the first real connection with the Holy Spirit, right now and I thought "I better share this, or I will miss what's next"! Anyway, what I was thinking was "I'm always thinking of the Cross, with Christ on it" - like that is the default way the image works in my mind. The...
