It's what we are saying. But one who is deceived doesn't realize he is deceived. It all looks good to the one who is self-confident.

Actually I did once...and I got into the deepest trouble for it. It opened up the gateway that led the devil in. There was a certain brother who tried convincing me that my own inner impulse was wrong. We stayed up all night...until finally I let go of my own convictions. He was a good...

Welcome to C Board Mike. :) I do like P.O.D.

Thanks for this. You are so right about not forcing the issue. We can come at the things of God all wrong...and reading the bible can for some be very unproductive....or worse. It depends on our attitude. Many people feed the wrong part...their over-active mind. It never gets to the heart. And...

Give it a while. ... oh and welcome here! :)

You need some balance in your approach. Fear will dampen love. But love dampens fear. :) I don't have any tirade for you in response since I like a short message.

Bless you for your concerns but I can assure you that I am in good Hands! :)

I don't like labels. But one day I was called in to work on a Sunday (they were forcing me in). As I was driving there a voice inside said..."when he asks you who told you to learn Hebrew...say it was the one he calls Hashem, He told you to learn Hebrew" So I get to work and sure enough my...

I will relate one more case...a selected experience that shows God's authority and how the Spirit can speak through a person...not as a gift but as a direct visitation from the Lord. At that time we had experienced a small revival in our fellowship with people visiting us from all over the...

I think you are not seeing the argument correctly. I may spend more time in the word than almost anybody...reading in 3 languages...learning to be biblically conversant in these. Most people only learn the bible in their own mother tongue. So I am a great respecter of the words from God. It's...

Thank you for your kind words Helen. I would love to hear of the Lord's leading in your life. I think it is encouraging to hear for all of us from the "elders"....as it once was ...whereby what the Lord did in one person was meant for the benefit thereby as an encouragement. I see eldership as...

Amen!

The opposite is true of course. It is God who intervenes in our lives. It is God who seeks to elevate us..into His presence. The key is to also grow downward in humility. Otherwise we are like a tree without roots. So that however high the Lord takes us...we remain grounded in the truth. We are...

Speaking of people who don't know their bibles... :rolleyes: Are you unaware of the kingdom of God around you....that can be perceived only by spiritual faculties? The bible is full of examples of this.

Not so much. Being born again according to the bible is to be born of the Spirit...born from above. It is to be born in Zion which is above. The Jerusalem which is above. That is the biblical sense of it.

Agreed.

For the next week or so I walked like a dead man. People at work asked me if I was sick...but I said I was just fine...just tired. Now working in this slowed down condition was hard...but I found that as I sped up...the "anointing" would lag behind. It was slower than I was. I could outpace the...

It was around the year 2000...and I was maybe 41 years old. Now I had been walking in a personal revival for a year and half or so...walking in the Spirit, experiencing His presence always...even in my sleep and dreams. So much so that my wife and friends would ask me on a daily basis what the...

With all the talk about spiritual gifts and salvation and doctrines...etc....what I find is missing is speaking of the intimate walk in the power and presence of God. In the Eastern churches this is known as THEOSIS...union with God....Oneness with God. This is not in the sense of being God or...
