    Receiving the Holy Spirit

    Humm- ??? There is a verse that says that faith comes from hearing a word from the Lord. I hear Him. The first words I heard were "Read Your Bible". Later I figured out that since God was spirit and always with me, I could talk to Him anytime that I cared to believe it. He came across to me in...

    Receiving the Holy Spirit

    ITS IS NOT ABOUT "WAYS TO FEEL THE HOLY SPIRIT"!!! If anyone is thinking that, they are all wrong!!! It is about knowing Jesus Christ as your Lord, which happens via the Holy Spirit!! The one main purpose the Holy Spirit has is to get you to personally know Jesus Christ, and Him as your...

    From the Book, aka - From the Law

    Neh 8:2 Then Ezra the priest brought the law before the assembly of men, women and all who could listen with understanding, on the first day of the seventh month. Neh 8:3 He read from it before the square which was in front of the Water Gate from early morning until midday, in the presence of...

    Being 'Born Again'

    The above post is pretty much right, but when actually compared to the Bible it's missing something and that something is actually hearing the words of God spoken to us!!! For example: If I read the Bible do I rind out that "Jesus IS Eternal Life"? -- Well that is kind of right - specifically...

    Being 'Born Again'

    Jn 3:7,8 ,“Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ “The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” Jn 3:11 “Truly, truly, I say to you, we speak of what we...

    What if you lose your faith?

    No - believing yet deciding not to listen to the Lord and follow Him is falling away!!!!! In the story of the prodigal son we read an example of a son falling away!!!!!!!!! And we see real Christians that this happens to. It is not that they are not believers anymore, but rather that they...

    What if you lose your faith?

    The reality is that none of us fully surrender our will to Him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Jesus did. Jesus explained that He did and said only what the Father told Him!!! That is why He is the Word of God - because His will is so fully surrender to the Father that He won't even say anything to you...

    What if you lose your faith?

    A "permanent"??? In Jeremiah??? I ran "permanent" through a Bible search tool and it didn't have "permanent" in Jeremiah!! Yet there is something in Isaiah about the Holy Spirit and "freedom"!! Is 61:1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed me To bring good news...

    What if you lose your faith?

    Concerning John the Baptist a comparison was made to a best man of a man about to get married, but also a comparison to a reed blowing in the wind!! One day John was telling people that Jesus was the One he told them about. Someone who he was not even worthy to tie his shoes. Yet when things...

    What if you lose your faith?

    Is our personal relationship with Jesus Christ like that of an Elvis fan? Should our personal relationship with Jesus be more like a son, or friend, or even a bride?

    What if you lose your faith?

    Yes - following Christ is a clear sign that you are a child of God!!! Simply because to follow Christ you must hear from Him!! And being born again mean you hear the sound of the wind (Holy Spirit) Jesus explained that His sheep hear His voice, that He leads them out with His voice. The...

    What if you lose your faith?

    Jer 32:40 “I will make an everlasting covenant with them that I will not turn away from them, to do them good; and I will put the fear of Me in their hearts so that they will not turn away from Me. Gal 4:21 - 24 Tell me, you who want to be under law, do you not listen to the law? For it is...

    The Lord and forgiveness

    Jn 3:7,8 “Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.’ “The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.” That is to say you start hearing from the Holy Spirit who...

    The Lord and forgiveness

    This thread is about forgiveness, but I assure you that forgiveness is a judgement!! Now we are all given things to judge!! Yet even on those it is best to take all thoughts captive to Jesus Christ! When He came into my life I was a retail manager. Specifically I was the front end manager in a...

    The Lord and forgiveness

    You might have already passed through Judgement!! However, that being said people should know that Jesus is already King and takes action accordingly. Yes - there is a day for many in which a judgement is made as to eternity, but don't let that lead you into thinking that the Word of God (Jesus...

    The Lord and forgiveness

    In the Bible we find testimonies about how sometime Jesus just forgave a person and they were healed. Luke 5:24 “But, so that you may know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins,”—He said to the paralytic—“I say to you, get up, and pick up your stretcher and go home.”...

    The Lord and forgiveness

    I like to point people to the Lord and His voice. I believe that He needs to personally teach people. It is written that they will all be taught of God - which to me means actually listening to the small voice of His and what He has to say. He is also Lord, and so He give instructions. He was...

    The Pagan and the Christian who didn't listen to God

    So now, having asked the Lord for Christian employees, I was about to learn a new lesson from the Lord. It turns out that being Christian doesn't mean you are a better employee. It doesn't even mean you listen to the Lord very well either! And it certainly doesn't mean you have your life...

    The Pagan and the Christian who didn't listen to God

    The cashier that I had hired was doing a great job! She was fast, friendly, and accurate. She had been there a couple of weeks and I was walking behind the check stand when sudden the Lord spoke to me with that small voice of His and wanted me to ask her where she was from. I told Him that she...

    The Pagan and the Christian who didn't listen to God

    This is actually a pair of true stories. The Lord asked me to relate them. The point of the stories is how it is not only the Pagan but often also the Christian who does not listen to Him. It happened shortly after I came to know the Lord. I was a retail manage in a big box store. The just...
