    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    When absent from the Lord...Paul picked up his cross daily. Otherwise he would not be a disciple of Christ. But Paul also says this...I am crucified with Christ...it is no longer I, but Christ. So then on that level (being present with the Lord in Zion) he is no longer burdened with his own...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    The blood of Jesus is the life of Jesus. We enter into heaven NOW by entering into Jesus and partaking of His life (blood) NOW . A dead religion is based on shed blood. A dead religion points to the cross. A living faith is crucified with Christ.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Peter warned us of the many who would misunderstand Paul and twist his words to their own destruction. And what's apparent is that without the fear of the Lord, that's just what they will do. No warning will suffice for these.

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    Rather than pursue a spiritual fellowship among brethren we have opted for an artificial religious order based on creeds and algorithms in a bid for conformity rather than true unity. God has resisted this scheme by giving us over to another mystery....that of Babylon. Rev. 17:4-6 "And the...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    In this podcast we will be looking into what brings the whole body of Christ together in the same mind and same purpose. Whether we are new to the faith or else experienced in the deeper things of God, we share a common cause in the fellowship of the mystery. See you in the podcast.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Why are religious fictions so attractive to the carnal mind? Because it comes down to cost. It cost us nothing to justify ourselves based on our beliefs about what Jesus accomplished for all mankind. It takes nothing to say...I'll take that. Takers take. But God is looking for givers. God is a...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    There is no understanding of what "imputing" means among those who have been religiously indoctrinated. God considered or noticed that Abraham was righteous. God sees things as they really are. The religious scheme of today is that God is so unrighteous that He imputes righteousness to the...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Talking with you is like asking someone from thousands of years ago...'Have you ever flown"? Of course they would have no idea of what you are talking about asking them something so foreign to their experience. How could I explain to them that in a plane we can "perfectly" overcome...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Followers of "Pauline" (or Paul as interpreted by Luther) get things exactly backwards. If we get Christ's benefits by only believing in it...then Romans 8:4 would say That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in Christ, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. That's...

    And all who enter into Him share in HIS perfection. When you enter into an airplane you partake of the law of flight that overcomes gravity. Without entering INTO the plane you will fall to your death...at whatever altitude. So compare that with breaking one of the laws. In Christ we fulfill the...

    Position? Or a religious opinion about ourselves. Being born again is a TASTE of holiness...a sample of grace...a down-payment (aravon) of what the final purchased item is. But in order to partake of the heavenly gift we need to lay down our lives. If you are a follower of Christ then listen to...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    God has to translate us into the kingdom walk from somewhere. The problem with reform "theology" is that is is just a superficial conver-up that comes from fully misunderstanding what Paul was talking about. We are accepted from our weakness into His fulness of power. "He has translated us into...

    This is good except God does accept people in the weakness of their flesh....He's just not PLEASED with them. Without faith (real faith) it is impossible to PLEASE God. Otherwise how could He justify the ungodly? He gives grace to the humble.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    What laws? We are always subject to the laws of God....as in the 10 commandments. Judaism laws are not for the believer in Christ...kosher eating, circumcision etc... This is not about what you believe to be true about yourself. This is about power from heaven to walk as Jesus walked...above...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Maybe you need to learn to ask better questions...ones that line up with the truth. We waste a lot of time trying to filter the truth through our limited minds.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    There are three kinds of sin as per the bible. Chata-ah, Pesha, and avon. To sin means to miss the mark. (Chata-ah) Sinners then are those whose aim is untrue. They mean well enough but are unable to hit the mark due to the weakness of the flesh. There are the sins of the flesh...with its love...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Amen. However there is a lower walk for genuine believers. False converts are not in any walk with Christ. These walk in the futility of their own minds...with whatever religious slogans they have adopted for themselves. The difference is that in the lower walk we still sin at times. Do we walk...

    I don't think you are understanding what Peter wrote. He admits that some things are hard to understand. Like the multitude of ways he uses the word"law". Unless you think Peter is foolish and that you have a better understanding than he does.

    “As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.” 2 Pet. 3:16 Could it be that the unlearned or unstable can't see...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    A believer is such by having faith in God...not just agree to a religious scheme or assent to some religious dogma. Many will claim to be believers but also many will be rejected on that day. Many will say Lord, Lord and be rejected. That should cause fear in the people who are honest. It causes...
