    What is the Kingdom of God?

    It is a sign of the times that the Kingdom of God is more likely to be associated with an afterlife experience rather than a spiritual realm that we can enter into in a walk of faith at the present time. Join me on this episode as we explore "What is the Kingdom of God?".

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Your dilemma is that you are counting too many Spirits. The Spirit of God the Spirit of Christ...the Holy Spirit and the Persons of the Father and the Son. Counting them all up we get 5 not 3. Now if the Spirit of God IS part of the Father, and the Spirit of Christ is the same Spirit....then you...

    That's not NT holiness. The idea of being separate is about temple holiness...whereby utensils can be holy. But NT holiness or TRUE holiness is about abiding in Christ to walk as He walked. Talk about separate. A much deeper separation...and one that a utensil cannot experience.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    You have to understand ...we are complete IN Him. In Him is no sin. To be filled with the fulness of God only happens when we are translated into the kingdom walk in the Spirit. Having begun in the Spirit we are to seek the Lord for the full measure of grace...grace on grace. The full lump.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    There are two Yahwehs. God is One Spirit in two Persons. The Father is "Elyon" The Most High. Jesus Yahweh spoke face to face with Moses...whereas the Father could only be glimpsed from behind. There are SOO many of these dualities. Even the word Elohim means DOUBLE GOD. (The way Ephraim means...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    While all this is true...The fulness of God is not experienced at regeneration. Paul calls the initial gift of grace the "earnest" of the Spirit. It is an introduction into the kingdom realm...a touch from above. To get the full measure of grace...that is the power from heaven to walk as Jesus...

    Why do we run the race? Why did Paul run the race? Unlike so many, he didn't passively receive a promise based on self-love or self-preservation...it was not about being comforted in his carnal state for him...thus burying his talent because he was afraid to lose it. No, he ran to win Christ...

    I'm praying that you will return the love that God has for you. Go to Him...stop waiting for Him to return and ...seek the kingdom. A thin line, and yet an uncrossable chasm that can only be bridged by grace through faith.

    A tweak or a whole other realm?

    There's drought in the wilderness walk. But one can try relying on the mirages of what is not, that make it appear that good fruit is proceeding from the dust clouds of our mind.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    It's your faulty reasoning...not His. A religious scheme that has no power. A carnal mind is required to take away the power of the gospel in exchange for a "progressive sanctification" scheme based on lies. LOL. You are trying very hard to miss the truth. A downpayment is exactly an...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    God can do that. But we can't. When we call something which is not as if it was....that's called lying. Messiah complexes aside...we are not God. You have to learn your place. Or...you can bear false witness. His faith was imputed to him for righteousness. And Phinehas' killing of the...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    That's faulty reasoning. A sample is holy so then the whole product is also holy. Having begun in the Spirit we are made complete in Him...in holiness. Why do you argue the firstfruits AGAINST the whole lump? You are not seeing God's purpose in giving us a sample of grace in order that we buy...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Living according to God's intent is righteousness, not holiness. Holiness is being present with the Lord where He is. Righteousness is based on behaviour/obedience to God's laws in the moment. Holiness is based on the presence of God in a moment by moment walk in an eternal life. The OT is...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Being grafted INTO the vine is what I'm trying to get people to understand. Believing INTO Christ to be where He is. Many see the sample of grace as the whole product. Jesus is not OUR offering. Jesus offered Himself up to the Father. You may have misappropriated something not meant for you to...

    Have you read all the way to 1 John in your bible yet? There are actually 3 kinds of sin. Read the OT. chata-ah, pesha and avon. But since when did anything you type originate from the bible? :ummm:

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    As do Catholics. The early church only baptized in the name of Jesus. As in...there is no other name under heaven with which people are saved. At least in the bible that's what we see. The Holy Spirit was seen as a power from heaven.

    Are you the guy that decides who is consigned to the fire? I see your ways...judgmental, and religious, just like the ecclesiastical doctrines you are conditioned to. Are you the trinity? Is it blasphemy to correct you in your obvious misunderstanding? Do as you wish...judge away. You...

    Not so. You are undoubtedly a uni-lingual English speaker. So you don't know about gender in other languages. If you would become less ignorant about this I can help you. :) In Greek autos can mean either "he" or "it". In Greek the word "spirit" is masculine in gender..... The same thing...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Only an indoctrination can be so certain of what is not found in the bible. The Jews rejected Jesus as God. But when in all the OT did the Jews think that the Spirit of God was a separate Being than God? God is Spirit. God is ONE Spirit. Read your bible to see how many Spirits are in God. Is the...
