The Devil has to be rebuked, for tempting us with the lukewarm!

There is a very simple proverb (called "the Silver Line"), that addresses morality: "Partially right, most of the time, is moral (selah)" It draws on what Jesus said was righteous ("blessed are those who hunger for righteousness" and how we should relate to Heaven, "be as a child, exceed the...

Hi there, So there are three elements in the thread title: running out of pressure, losing control of mutations, and struggling with the Devil. The issue of running out of pressure, is the hardest one - you have to take stock of all that mankind has been able to do, and weigh that against the...

I finally ate some food, that is richer than McDonald's: roast duck! It was interesting to see how my addiction slipped into second place - the richer the food, the greater the temptation! It's hard not to think, maybe there is richer food than roast duck!

Now its showing me old advertisements, like I am stuck in the past.

It's not the Devil's problem, if you are already snared by something else he has done. When you are in union with someone, you share your chains - the Devil will condemn both of you together.

Loving the work, takes wisdom, but it also takes increased perseverance.

The Devil will actually resist you, if you choose one or the other (hot or cold). The Devil is lukewarm.

I had a vision recently, that seemed to show that my appetite for McDonald's is a thorn in the flesh. In other words, just like Paul (the Apostle), I have to suffer with my appetite for McDonald's - God is using it to hone my focus on self-control. What is maddening is, that even within a few...
