    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    You seem obsessed with being "saved". But saved to what? In a great house are both vessels of honour AND dishonour. Eternal life is one thing...but what quality is that life going to be? People sent into eternal darkness also have eternal life. Redeeming the purchased posession...the...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Only those who have gone to the throne of grace understand the higher walk and the keeping power of God. If someone says no person can fly, they obviously don't live near an airport.

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    Nor do you BUY the gospel .....or the oil, or the eye salve or the field that contains the treasure. So sad.

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    This is not true. We get a free sample in order to seek God who we now know something about. No one seeks for God without the quickening of His Spirit. No man comes to Christ unless the Father draws Him. After we receive the free down-payment we are to BUY from the Lord (as per Jesus) the oil...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    True fellowship cannot be had among "bible people". Only Christ-like people are willing to accept the conditional acceptance of God who is looking for people who are willing to give all in selfless love. Otherwise we just get more religion and spiritual attacks. The flesh wars against the...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    You can't understand what I'm saying because you are self-confirmed...like so many. Those who understand the sacrificial nature of God's kingdom understand what I'm saying. Otherwise the very selfless nature of the upward calling INTO Christ is seen as a threat...to the carnal mind.

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    More veiled attacks. Passive aggressive and self-interested. Next...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    So you are saying that God doesn't want us to seek Him or His kingdom? God is a giver. The carnal man is a taker. 9 lepers took the benefit and left. Only one returned to Jesus. Just like the vast majority of modern believers. Most will walk away with the free stuff and never learn the purpose...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    A tree is known of its fruit. Someone who lies out of one side of their mouth and then claims to be somehow connected to Christ with the other. So obvious.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    It's about ongoing realities. Paul said ...in me dwells no good thing....that is in his flesh. Of course he's not talking about the indwelling Christ. That means that while we can live by one nature or the other....we can't live in both at the same time. Many here believe they sin with a new...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    We can know we have pleased God when we are translated into the kingdom realm of the Spirit. Col. 1:13 Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    Phil. 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ, 9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    The same test of faith that the Israelites failed in their time...we are failing in our time. What they failed on the physical plane we are failing on the spiritual plane. Joshua and Caleb had a faith in God to do the impossible. But just look at al the people who claim to be believers who have...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    People learn to manipulate something way before they learn the consequences of doing that. We see that with medicines, ideologies, technology...AND especially religious ideologies based on what Jesus accomplished on Calvary. People will seek to exploit Christ...but have no idea about giving...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    People hate the idea of going to Jesus. People hate the truth. They would rather stay very far away and just point to Him ineffectually. The flesh doesn't want to give anything...only to take. They have beliefs ABOUT Jesus but will never believe INTO Jesus. The carnal gospel supports a lack of...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    Run to win! Paul said... 1 Cor. 9:24 Know you not that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain. 25 And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    The bible warns us over and over about the many who will accept the free stuff ...and get puffed up in their own estimation...but will be unwilling to forsake all to buy into the kingdom walk. You're on the side of the name-it claim-it crowd that denies the higher walk. There has to be...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Only a sacrificial disciple allows for their own life to be fully swallowed up by the life of Christ. That is the lesson of becoming the Bride...to let go fully one's hold on life. Even Paul would have had to learn this in stages...going in and out of the Spirit...until one day the love of God...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    The kingdom of God is not in word but in power. only those who have entered into the empowered life of Christ understand the mystery. No words can express the heavenly gift. "But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Dishonesty. You edit my post the way you edit the bible...twisting as you go.
