    My take on the Baptism in the Spirit...

    We don't know what Jesus spoke about many things. In Acts we see the BHS was central to the extension of the Kingdom as the Church exploded. This is a lost focus in the modern church. The harvest is ripe but the workers are few. The Lord of the Harvest wants to empower those who seek to join...

    My take on the Baptism in the Spirit...

    Questions 1 and 2 I can't answer because I am not gifted to speak on end times. Q3 Paul speaks of a war between the un-regenerate mind and the Spirit. However, faith comes from hearing the Word of Christ, and if the mind agrees to obedience, there is no problem. So the degree to which your...

    Romans 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death.

    Is same sex attraction lust driven?

    The bible says "even sinners love those who love them." The word for love in this verse is agape... The bible also says that the rain falls on the just and the unjust. This means that common grace includes love in relationships among unbelievers. However for those who choose un-natural...

    Jesus Ministry.

    Dear Friends, Thanks for the responses. I guess I am not needing to debate the matter of whether He is at work in this way in this age - I have seen too much to doubt that. I would however like to ask comment on the spiritual nature of common conditions that Jesus dealt with by addressing the...

    My take on the Baptism in the Spirit...

    Actually, I might say that often Yes.. well said, and I resonate with this of course. What you have presented pertains to progressively being redeemed in character by the renewing of the mind. However my focus is on the matter of walking in the spirit. We are not counselled to walk in the...

    My take on the Baptism in the Spirit...

    To encourage folks to walk in celebration of His purpose - there is an exciting life to be lived in Him and sadly many miss it. I have just started a testimony thread, I have waited 40 years before sharing about what I have seen and now is the time.

    Jesus Ministry.

    Dear Friends, I am really puzzled about the almost complete absence of a central aspect of Jesus ministry in the Christian world today. When Jesus broke into the world He immediately demonstrated spiritual authority over powers and principalities that were binding peoples lives with sickness...

    My take on the Baptism in the Spirit...

    I could respond to that, but it leads to a philosophical exchange and that is not my intent.

    My take on the Baptism in the Spirit...

    Well when you have walked the walk it is natural to pass on the key elements. So many teach but not from first hand experience.

    My take on the Baptism in the Spirit...

    With all due respeact I have encountered many who know the bible backwards but know nothing of hearing and obeying the Living Word Jesus.

    My take on the Baptism in the Spirit...

    The connection between the Holy Spirit and the human spirit becomes permanent when you are born again. With Jesus this was established at birth and His human spirit was always in unity with the Holy Spirit. The still small voice never leaves. But empowering upon your life for ministry is a...

    My take on the Baptism in the Spirit...

    Bless you... Dissipate does not mean leave... Eph 5 18 And do not get drunk with wine, for that is dissipation, but be filled with the Spirit... Sin grieves the Spirit and His presence upon the saint withdraws. The indwelling is not affected by this loss of empowering. I am a prodigal, born...

    Is same sex attraction lust driven?

    I think I need to explain the logic of why I started the thread... I have had a very long debate on CF abut why I oppose the 'Conversion Therapy' Law. The Law criminalises anyone praying into the area of same sex attraction because the LGBT folks have convinced the world that 'orientation' is...
