There is much truth to this. But if we skip a step, the step of going to the cross of Christ, we will be renewing a mind into a religious way of thinking...like taking verses and spiritualizing them into our lives. So instead of saying we are having a good day...we say blessed. And there's...

That's why these back off after a while...unless they be exposed as being in the flesh even as they say how wonderful it is to be in the Spirit. Brainwashed is the right word. There's a LOT of false ministry out there.

:rolleyes: Have you any experience with positivism? (I think I have come across every kind of person in my time.) A positivist thinks he/she is always in the Spirit...always abiding...because of a positive attitude. As in..if you believe it hard enough..it's real. So the idea of reckoning...

There is a kind of believer out there (and here) who choose to see everything with positivity...even impossible things for the flesh are claimed positively by the flesh. So then if you ask a person if they walk in the Spirit...they will say...All the time...it's easy! But really these have no...

Do you have a testimony about the crucified life? This is the right thread for it. Please share. We are to always be ready to communicate what the Lord is doing in our lives after all...for the sake of encouraging others into the same walk. Like...how much time do you spend in the Spirit...

I think the difficulty with some here is that we are comparing what is good with what is perfect. There is a clash there. With the idea that there is more than just good. It's like this idea that we can get progressively crucified...like a finger at a time. But a partially crucified person is...

Anything over your head...which is anything spiritual...seems super-spiritual to you. It's like never-never land to you. But your honesty is so lacking in that you don't understand half or more of what Paul is saying. But your religious posturing compels you to judge others who do. Paul is not...

I shouldn't have to say this on a Christian forum...but if a sister opens up in vulnerability and weakness... that is not a signal for the dog within us, or in you in this case, to attack. SBG was trying to help a younger brother who has difficulty understanding sanctification. She never...

Exactly! :)

We are admonished as Christians to put on Christ. To put on the full armour of God. To put on the new Man. If everybody was doing that already and automatically, there would be no need to go to the throne of grace to get more grace. There would be no need to exhort people to do so. Paul is...

Ok I'll bite on this post! ;) You are right. Except for this... I believe all who are born again both are indwelt by Christ, and are in Christ. We are indwelt by Christ when we are born again. Yes. We have received a FREE sample of the life of God in us. But to unleash the POWER of that life...

You are describing here the life that's trying to be crucified. The crucified life is watching from the backseat while Jesus drives the car. It is for the flesh to be helpless on a wall....out of the way...so that you walk in a resurrection power in His presence...ALWAYS. It is the keeping power...

Never seen a scone that I know of. It makes me think of the politically correct slogan..."feeding two birds with one scone" (as opposed to the dreadful killing two birds with one stone") :eek: heavens to Betsy! Then there's..."you can't feed a fed horse." (I won't even mention the original...

Unless you get struck off your horse like Paul. Was he reading a bible? To those who are preached the truth by those who are sent from God? It is a law. But the astute among us will realize this is about recognizing the anointing in a person as much as listening to a message. How many people...

This is so sad but true. We only want to give to God those things that we don't want...our sins...anything filthy. But anything good we want to keep for ourselves. Truly pathetic. :( That is until we learn to live through Christ. :) Then we can suffer for His way and His will...and rejoice in...

I think it's the word .."crucified"...a deadly peril for the flesh. As in...I thought Jesus was crucified instead of me??? :eek::(:oops:

Has anybody noticed that the list of the book of life is not included in the bible? Could we all agree that God will have the last say on things? (the God mentioned in the bible) Just sayin'

We have a "cheat sheet" in the bible. People can SAY they are in the Spirit but they are saying so because of an error in indoctrination so often. If people didn't see the word Spirit in their bibles...they would have no idea what the concept even meant...which of course they still don't even...

This is a heavenly reasoning. :) But the devil's reasoning is...how dare you! How dare you know more than me! How dare you testify of something that makes me look like I don't know anything! How dare you be happy when I am miserable! That's when the accusations start. The devil has all...

OK I'm going to go far on this....and some will hate me for it. :) But there are two kinds of people that miss the walk of Christ because of the cross. The weepers and the gnashers. (my words) The gnashers are usually men...and the weepers are usually women...not always...but normally. Look...
