    Don’t be afraid of sudden fear and desolation of the wicked: For the Lord shall be your confidence.

    CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... You said: What you propose … if I understand is Christ only died for those called out ones and the others within carnal mindedness Christ did not die for. They are not “as one for whom Christ died” “a child” “a babe in Christ” and never could or would be...

    Don’t be afraid of sudden fear and desolation of the wicked: For the Lord shall be your confidence.

    Dear VictoryinJesus, You said: The problem I see with how you (if I understand correctly) suggest that some of the carnally minded have been called out and some have not…how all the called out and the unbelievers are of “one mind” “earthly” yet not the same? One group “called out” “babes” the...

    Don’t be afraid of sudden fear and desolation of the wicked: For the Lord shall be your confidence.

    Dear VictoryinJesus, You asked: Did He come to all men then and give them the early rain? No. Most of mankind is not called out from the world and will remain unbelievers until they die. No one can have any faith in Christ without the Early Rain. Rom 3:10 As it is written, there is none...

    Don’t be afraid of sudden fear and desolation of the wicked: For the Lord shall be your confidence.

    Dear VictoryinJesus, Yes, I am the person who presented the teaching of the Early and Latter Rain analogy to you. Since you mentioned it, I want to share a teaching on it. Scripture says that no man can call Jesus "Lord" without first having the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and that no man...

    Don’t be afraid of sudden fear and desolation of the wicked: For the Lord shall be your confidence.

    DearVictoryinJesus, Yes, the Elect should not fear judgment but welcome it. It is the only way to be made into a child of God. The old vessel must be destroyed so that the new vessel can be made. Did you know that judgment has two parts to it? The judgment (baptism of fire) which occurs with...

    Don’t be afraid of sudden fear and desolation of the wicked: For the Lord shall be your confidence.

    Dear VictoryinJesus, You quoted: Proverbs 3:25-26 Be not afraid of sudden fear, neither of the desolation of the wicked, when it cometh. [26] For the LORD shall be thy confidence, and shall keep thy foot from being taken. This scripture above is referring to a believer's moment of conversion...

    Why do we need born again

    Dear Taken, Scripture says that the truth of God's Word is purposely concealed from everyone except converted Elect believers. Converted Elect believers are the only ones who have had their spiritual blindness healed by Christ. All other people (including those who are only "believers" as you...

    Hellfire and brimstone has given way to eternal separation from God. - Why?

    CONTINUED FROM THE PREVIOUS POST... Because the Early Rain of the Spirit is given in "just measure", it will leave the new believer spiritually blind and carnally minded (Mat 12:43-45). Because of these spiritual flaws, the believer will be incapable of learning the truth of God. As a result...

    Hellfire and brimstone has given way to eternal separation from God. - Why?

    Dear Jay, You said: In God's eyes, our actions speak louder than our petition for forgiveness of our sins. We all must take the first steps in responding to Christ's drawing of us to Himself. If we do not take the steps to respond to God's drawing of us to Himself, then the promised Salvation is...

    Hellfire and brimstone has given way to eternal separation from God. - Why?

    Dear Jay, The second death is the spiritual death that occurs from Christ's judgment. It is the spiritual destruction of the child of the devil. But that death is completed only after the person has been "born again" and made into a child of God. As you said, the second death is the penalty...

    Hellfire and brimstone has given way to eternal separation from God. - Why?

    Hello Jay, You are using one verse of God's Word to create a whole doctrine which you should not do. Scripture says that doctrine is given "here a little, and there a little" and that the sum of God's Word is truth: Isa 28:9 Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand...

    The Mark of The Beast Is Alive and Well in Bio-metric Technology

    Dear Gordon, The mark of the beast is a spiritual mark that occurs when the spirit of anti-Christ indwells a believer. It is not physical or visible to the human eye. Christ said that His words are "spirit" (John 6:63). To understand Christ's spirit words, they must be understood in a...

    Acts 2: 38-39

    Dear Rella, "you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off" is referring only to Jews. The revelation that salvation was also for the Gentiles was not given until later (Acts 11). Also, verse 38 is referring to the Early Rain of the Spirit and not to the Latter Rain of the Spirit...

    Gambling With Eternity?

    Dear Grace ambassador, All mankind is eternally condemned because all mankind has sinned. The penalty of sin is death. No one can escape paying that penalty. Because we can't escape it, Christ will see to it that all mankind is "born again" as a new creation. The spiritual process of changing...

    Gambling With Eternity?

    Dear Grace ambassador, Jesus Christ is the Savior and He alone is the one who saves us. He decides when a person will be saved - mankind has no say in the matter. In this age, Christ is only saving the Elect who have been chosen for this blessing from the foundation of the world. He will...

    Kolasis - William Barclay

    Dear Learner, The Early and Latter Rain is at the core of the "great mystery of Christ and his church" (Eph 5:32). It is very concealed in scripture until Christ gives a believer "eyes that can see". After He does, they will find the Early and Latter Rain taught in many, many places of...

    Kolasis - William Barclay

    Dear Truthnightmare, Your spiritual understanding of numbers is not correct. Here is a list of the main numbers used in scripture: One: Unity Two: The Elect, witnesses of God. Three: a spiritual process. Four: Whole measure. Five: Pathway to God - by man’s work or by Grace through Faith...

    Kolasis - William Barclay

    Dear Truthnightmare, The literal events of scripture, either in the OT or the NT are physical types. Those physical types have spiritual fulfillments under the New Covenant. Also, the prophecies which show Christ going to the cross were fulfilled under the Old Covenant. Because they were...

    Kolasis - William Barclay

    Dear Truthnightmare, You asked: Have you ever read any verse that symbolizes Satan as a Bear? Please provide it if you have. You are disregarding what Paul said to do to find the meanings of spiritual symbols. We are NOT to look out into this physical world for understanding. Paul says to...
