    Praise God! God loved us, before He created us; then once He created us, He made His love constant - power to God!

    Hi there, So yes: God loved us before He created us - loved every detail! He foresaw it all, the good times, the bad, the sin, the repentance and He loved us! Once God created us, He made His Love constant - waited for us to seek Him, to inquire of what He had done! He rejoiced to be tested...

    Grief comes more easily to the simple of heart; those that trust the Spirit have their share of strife (selah)

    Hi there, So I wanted to focus on something that I didn't actually think I would encounter as a believer. For a long time, I thought the problem with my faith, must be that I backslid; which constantly seemed to drag me back into doubt. Then I realised I was trying to "do faith" on my own, too...

    "Go big or go home"? The Holy Spirit says no! Go great for God, then share it with the faith! (ready?)

    Hi there! So there is a great opportunity as we head in to the end, for people to do great works for God (Daniel, from memory). What helps this idea, as the Bible says "say Lord willing, we will do this or that" (James? Letters, from memory), is what you will do with the success you get. I...

    Is the Holy Spirit pleased with the children of God, when they come? (question?)

    Hi there, So Jesus is reported to have said "Will the Son of Man truly find faith on Earth, when He comes?" and I have a similar question. Will the Holy Spirit be pleased with the children of God, when they come? (selah) We are called to be good stewards of our faith, if those that come after...

    I was struggling with the Dragon and I realised "the attack on my faith cannot be stronger, than the Holy Spirit's presence in me is simple to trust"

    Hi there! So yes, praise God! I was struggling with the Dragon and I realised "the attack on my faith cannot be stronger, than the Holy Spirit's presence in me is simple to trust" - I know, I know "greater is He that is within me, than he that it is in the world" (letters, from memory), but by...

    If you had faith but backslid, one of the Devil's darts have got through and you are doing nothing about it? (hurt?)

    Hi there, So this is what I would call a clinical diagnosis of backsliding: you had faith, but then a dart of the enemy got through your armor and now you are doing nothing about it. Does that sound about right? The point is that the faith, is simple; it is not the Spirit that separates us...

    The first Day of Genesis is a slower revolution of Earth - that's how millions of years are accounted for (waiting?)

    Hi there, So this is a fairly simple concept, when you understand it, but it can be difficult to communicate. The idea is this: when God talks about the "morning and the evening" he is talking about a span of time, that He creates. In the beginning, God says "let there be light" - at this point...

    "If you were really Christian, you wouldn't mind" - how twisted is that?!

    Hi there, So I get that "turning the other cheek" is scripture. But there's nothing in scripture that says you can't ask for turning the other cheek to end. Revelation says the anti-christ goes into perdition, meaning the whole world will be tempted to just keep sinning - as Jesus said "he that...

    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...
