How is it possible that born again believers...the Laodiceans ....could be SO deceived as to their true spiritual condition? They were in Christ but only superficially so. Still in the mouth...but not swallowed. Not yet abiding in Christ fully. Having the sample but without having gone to God...

The flesh wars against the Spirit and the Spirit wars against the flesh. walk in the Spirit and you will not do the lusts of the flesh...etc Though our outer man perish...our inner man is renewed day by day. (and that's not our bodies) A lot of verses in that regard.

The problem is in the soul...the outer man ego. When we are uplifted in our soul, we grow in pride and arrogance...or we do unless we have been broken before by an experience of the cross. The Spirit is uplifted...but the soul must remain humble. God gives grace to the humble. So we need to go...

As in...no longer I, but Christ? :)

Believing God or...naming and claiming positive sounding verses in a self-interested way? Do you believe Jesus when He says...you are poor, naked, wretched, and blind? Or do you turn away from Him? Why would you assume and presume ANYTHING from the bible without God's say so? Don't you realize...

Amen Amadeus. God is love. If we would only receive the gifts of God with meekness...not being opinionated...not backbiting, accusing, quarrelsome...as we know the flesh loves to do...THEN we would be given the kingdom as an inheritance. It is the Father's good pleasure to give us the kingdom...

Have you read the bible...really? It boggles the mind that you are stuck on a mental loop. I am following Christ...for real. A real Christ. A real God. Not an ideological premise. If anybody wants to enter into the kingdom they must sell all and buy the field. It's easy for you to disrespect...

yes. We are born into the race of faith. No. The work of Christ is a done deal...we don't need to acknowledge that in order to enter into Christ. Just like we don't need to acknowledge gravity in order to fall correctly. This is not about earning but surrendering. It costs us everything to be...

That's backward thinking. Which is easier..to name and claim something that Jesus did through self-interest...as if that was a virtue? Or else reject Christ and try becoming your own messiah? In your mind you think I have to reject Christ in order to seek God. But that is your dilemma, not mine...

Yes. The kingdom of God IS the Promised Land...to be where He is..to abide in the house of God....now and forever. The Exodus story is an example of the Christian walk. Entering into the Promised Land? Not so much, for those who have had prior experience in life. It seems too impossible for...

It costs Christ everything to give us ACCESS to the kingdom. Not any old Tom, Dick, or Harry can push his way in. That's why so many will be rejected. read the bible. Was your point about BUYING into the kingdom? Are you honest? Can you read the verses I posted? Or to agree with you do we have...

In Canada an immigrant has to have a certain amount of money to get landed immigrant status. Of course there is also the refugee method. In the kingdom of God there is a price to pay for the fulness of God. All of us for all of Him. Otherwise we can hope to be a refugee...the meek of the...

When we PLEASE God with a faith that is undivided..like a child...then God translates us into the kingdom of His dear Son. Read the bible. Not a historic belief...but a faith that moves mountains NOW! Enter NOW. Salvation is NOW. The KOG is NOW. God receives faith. When He does He translates...

Entering into what? We have the same test that the Israelites had. The gospel was also preached to them. Our gospel is about salvation FROM sin and into an intimate walk with God...Christ as our Mediator. We are failing the same way as they were. By unbelief we think it impossible to enter...

If you read the bible you will see that the kingdom costs everything to enter into. If you only read what I say, without reading the bible for yourself, then you will think that those who taught you are right. But all you have to do is read the bible to see that I'm speaking the truth ...and...

Seeking by faith is not illegal. What is illegal is to claim to be in the kingdom when you are not. God decides who enters in. Naming and claiming are presumptuous sins.

The opposite is true. I am encouraging people to press into the kingdom. I did a post on that recently. If people are unable to press into the kingdom realm then it is better to admit that and remain humble, fearing the Lord. Acknowledging His ways being higher than our wisdom, knowledge and...

I think it's both. People are not interested because it seems impossible. It takes real faith. And there is a lack of knowledge and understanding of what the kingdom of God is. It must be sought for in the right way...by faith.

That's right. The error of our ways....as in..."there is a way that seems right to a man"... is to think that we can rest on just a first step in a race...that being born again into the family of God (Spiritual Israel) is all that God expects of us. We are the SAME as the Israelites in the...

Why aren't more people interested in the pressing into the kingdom? How can people miss the zeal of Paul to do that very thing? How can people miss the point of the gospel? When we are taught that we are already rich and in need of nothing...that we already have as much as we are going to...
