What exactly do "high places" mean in this verse?: "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Ephesians 6:12

Good word Oligos, There are some things that we KNOW for sure are Gods will, through His word. Then, there are some that fall into the grey area and, as long as we do not pray "amiss", I do believe He will answer. He in effect does answer every prayer...yes, no, wait. So, we continue to pray...

Hello Dove, This might be elementary and maybe not well worded but...I see the wrath of God poured out only on those who do not have Christ. His wrath was taken out on His only Son for those who became believers in Him and follow Him and His two commands. Yes, God still has much wrath to be...

:D

Welcome here OLIGOS!

Hahaha, good one Helen...clever gal :) Ursula from Uganda uses un-Godly unctions to unhinge the unbelievers.

What about there being differing rewards in Heaven, and what about those whose works are burned up, yet they themselves will be saved. Do not the Apostles have a higher place of honor with God? “Then Peter answered and said to Him, ‘See, we have left all and followed You. Therefore, what...

Sebastian the seahorse sits smugly on the seabed soliciting sea scum :D

More bad wording on my part, lol...yes...Jesus is my only mediator to The Fathers ears. Ty.

Can't forget: "After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly." Acts 4:31 or "And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy...

Hmmm. Why do I get all the hard letters?? lol. Queen Quintessence was a quaghogger in Quebec in quest for a queenquartz... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Forgive my wording. I know Peter had the Spirit that is sealed in us at our being born anew through Christ. My point is more about following the leading of the Spirit, walking in, and being led by the Spirit, growing through the Spirit by keeping our eyes on Christ and living Christ life...

"...and let us run with patience the race that is set before us" This tells me that the race is ongoing and we grow as we learn and submit to Him. I am not at all saying that we are to seek a second or third or even fourth "helping" of His Spirit. Do you EVER grieve His Spirit? I'm sure Peter...

I see this as always striving to be complete in him, and none of us has reached those heights as far as I can see. Philippians 3:12-14 "Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on, that I may lay hold of that for which Christ Jesus has also laid hold of me...

I cannot agree here...cannot put all in one box, and you will NEVER find a perfect forum where all will agree. But, from what I have read on this thread, it seems that he is the only one who takes his stance. As far as moderators go, they are few and have jobs and family. There is also the...

So, two different parts to the same group...

What is the distinction in the two?

Agreed. It is more like continue to be being filled...I know darned well when I am NOT walking in the Spirit and these times can bring on thoughts of self condemnation. Then, it is back to that roller coaster of begging His forgiveness and to learn from it and grow each day anew. His mercies...

Stan, I do enjoy many of your posts and do believe you are a good Christian. I maybe jumped the gun here and am sorry to have written it that way. Repenting here :oops:
