Glad you said that, so it's not just me and my aging brain. Maybe there were no such things as editors in those days, lol. Maybe we are to look at Rom 7 as not being the state we are to camp out permanently in, but keep moving forward and pass through that stage, like the Israelites passing...

The devil has been defeated, yes........however in spite of that we can see that most of the whole world is obviously still under his dominion, living in darkness and still under the wrath of God. Because it takes an act of God to awaken a soul out of spiritual death and lift that soul out of...

Amen, yes. I don't mean we should never try to reason with folks, just that if any are in bondage it is not the thing that will set them free. From what I've seen, reasoning with people trapped in cults just doesn't penetrate, unless they are already starting to question things and are...

Amen, the sabbath rest law was a shadow of the substance to come in Christ. And Paul wrote we're not to judge one another on that point but to let each one be convinced in their own heart.....whether to keep or not keep a special day we do so to the Lord. It is not sin to keep it and neither...

aka, cognitive dissonance....occurs when under bondage to a cult-like spirit. Reasoning can't deliver from bondages, so it takes prayer (spiritual weapons) for the Lord to work in their life and heart.

That's all I'm talking about brother, letting the Lord work in us. Have a good evening.

You're taking this completely amiss. And I believe my dream was given to point the way and strengthen me for what was coming, not because I'm yet walking in what it was pointing to. The Holy Spirit leads and guides us....He just happened to do this with a dream that time. It was Jesus leading...

I agree.....but the dream I think was about going deeper with the Lord....just occurred that it reminds me of when the prophet was walking deeper and deeper into the river until it was over his head....I see that as being when the Lord takes the reins and we let Him take us with His current, so...

ok thanks.....I will tentatively agree with this and wait for the Lord to confirm it. Song of Solomon talks about a king having virgins without number (believers without much intimacy with the Lord), three -score concubines and four-score queens. Speaking of three different levels of intimacy...

There must be a reason why Jesus said to seek first the kingdom of God and HIS righteousness. And blessed are they who hunger and thirst after righteousness for they will be filled. You might find this encouraging. Had a dream once, where I was underwater (in over my head?) and walking around...

But to be holy is to be like Jesus, true?.....to be as He is in the world. So one who is holy will be all that He was when He walked this earth. He does love everyone, but I think of holiness as a matter of how much we love Him and give back to Him in return for His love. All He wants is our...

No it's not a competition. We are all individuals with our own unique corner of the battlefield so to speak. It would be comparing apples to oranges to try and compare different people. We all are even given differing measures of grace and faith to start with. The bible says He chastises who...

For sure most of us don't....but that doesn't mean it isn't possible. We need to have faith and hope first of all to believe it is possible, that Jesus has made the way for it, and then we also need faith to trust Him enough to surrender our life to Him as a living sacrifice. Yes, that is the...

Yes, and the church still gets made fun of....deservedly so all too often, in my opinion. But maybe some of these ones were mistaking an emotional experience for a genuine spiritual one....? I seem to have noticed at times, when the flesh gets hold of certain truths there is a kind of pressure...

Amen, I agree that our flesh and flesh nature of the old man will never be perfect, which is why we are instructed not to walk in it or sow to it, but reckon it dead. Easier said than done at times. But I believe there is a time or season to be encouraged and a time or season to be the...

Amen, completely agree. Think that is what "Egypt" represents in one way....slaves/captives of religious institutions that try to get you making bricks without giving you the necessary straw. I didn't know that. They all used to actually teach this? I've never heard it taught anywhere at...

Might it be a case of the "yes but not yet" of things? All things have been put under the feet of Jesus but we do not yet (necessarily) see all things put under. We are complete in Christ, in that His seed has been planted in the believer who has come to genuine faith and received...

Right now I'm reading the Secret of God's presence that Murray wrote. I also read it many years ago, but understand it better now. I gather that with Keswick it might have been that the flesh was handling something that was truth, as so often happens. Kind of making it into a compulsory "law"...

Amen, I absolutely agree! It might have been......myself I can't keep up with and decipher everything in the world of politics, so can't verify or agree/disagree one way or the other on a lot of things. However, I can say I've talked with white South Africans who have told me there is systemic...

Well as we've talked about before, I believe the problem is that many remain sitting on their laurels at the starting line instead of being in the race with their whole heart so as to win it, to the finish. They aren't following Christ and growing in Him. So I partly agree with you. Churches...
