These are all dealing with the same issue so I'll stack them together for a response. 4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the...

But only if you will receive it! ;) The same goes for today.

Let's try this. I believe that God has presented us with a picture of the human heart in the description of the tabernacle. Unlike the physical heart which has 4 chambers...the invisible part of the heart has half that many (no surprise there)....namely 2 parts. There is the larger part and the...

Elijah....John the Baptist. Elisha....Jesus. baptism in water.....baptism in the Spirit.] The rule goes like....first the natural THEN the spiritual. 1 Cor. 15:46 The spiritual, however, was not first, but the natural, and then the spiritual. Can you conceive of the idea of the shadow or...

We are made perfect in Christ. Now that sounds like a religious slogan that is meaningless and powerless to change our situation. That is....it sounds that way....until God actually intervenes.

Which are? Please explain...

The bible is about people who have experienced God. Not people who have a set of beliefs about God. Stephen looked up and saw God in heaven...so he said "I see" But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God...

Belief IS like this. Faith is something else. If I say...do you believe you can walk outside today? You would probable say yes. Then I can ask you. So what did you see/experience in your walk? Then you would be able to tell me (if you wanted) what you saw. Now in that same way I ask you...do...

Re-read the OP. You are making this about true or false. If you drive a car...does that mean you no longer are able to ride a bike? See how your modern reasoning goes? You are not being logical...never mind biblical here.

And the second step is to walk in that life...just as Jesus walked. In HIS power.

I'm not blaming you...but you are a product of the modern way of thinking. You are unable to learn because you have been taught a superficial "truth" that stops anything else from going in. It's a very effective way to stop people from going deeper in their walk in the Lord. This isn't about...

I'm only speaking of what is written to us all in the bible. Here's a question for you. How many churches teach that half of their number will be shut out of the kingdom because they are like lamps without oil (based on the parable in Mat. 25). Of course nobody considers that they could...

You are speaking of mystical things but I am speaking of experiencing what God wants us to partake in of Christ. IF we have been raised with Christ we are to seek the things that are above. Now of course people will spiritualize this and lake it a normal set of events. But this is not being...

You seem unfamiliar with the way of Jesus Christ . The door is narrow....and so is the way. These are 2 different things. The way of Christ is only a familiar concept with those who have walked on it.

There are 2 approaches to sanctification and holiness...gradually and suddenly.

The truth is that Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. Turning to Christ gets us started on the path of redemption and holiness. But Jesus was RAISED for OUR justification. That means that the life of Jesus is reserved for those who have gone over to God in Christ to be partakers of His...

You are not called to "accept the reality of the words"....that is what religious indoctrination does. You are to go through the experience of it and actually KNOW the power of His resurrection. I call it the deeper things because that's what it is. NOT a superficial nodding in agreement to a...

The modern teachings avoid the truth and the difficulties of the cross by turning into empty dogmas to be accepted as already applied by religious indoctrination. It isn't HIS death (apart from us) that brings new life...it is as we walk in His death that we receive the power of life that Jesus...

The whole process of suffering in Christ is for the mature believer who is no longer trying to avoid everything but immediate blessings. The more we can give up of ourselves...the more we receive of Christ. 1 Pet. 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that...

Yes. And just when I thought I'd reached the depth of God's working in me....there was yet another huge step to take. Thw ways of God are deep indeed.
