What do you mean by a rhema before you pray?

Amen. The logos is to the outward man what the rhema is to the inward man. The kind of faith that God is looking for is from the inner man...and it is from there that we believe unto salvation. Faith comes by hearing the rhema....

We have 2 options for following the Lord. The bible The Spirit Each one backs the other up so we have a firm foundation to base our directives from God. The OP eliminates the Spirit in favour of the written word...which is also rejected as being obsolete. So then, for honesty's sake...the OP...

Where does it say that? You are asking me to provide scripture...just to repudiate the word in favour of your mythology. What you say has no basis in the bible or reality. Never say that you are being obedient to the word then. You claim to follow the bible...which you don't...but instead...

teaching you here would take too long. But I'll draw you to the very spiritual nature of the gathering together of they who have faith (called the church of God). Paul emphasizes the use of spiritual gifts in the assemblies...without which there would be no spiritual growth possible. Now read...

The opposite is true. The bible is a book of faith. When you believe in God and in His love for us...and that He intervenes to save us by directing our steps in His holy pathways....God sends His Spirit to us. Your idea of a religious belief without power or relationship was believed by those...

...or what God says...

The mouth speaks from the fulness of the heart...in this case unbelief. A religious unbeliever would seem to be the worst of both worlds. A religious belief is from the outer man...whereas the gospel is meant to be taken in by the inner man. It is to the inner man that the Spirit speaks. The...

In your very humble experience that is. A person who lacks experience is never an expert on any given subject. Doubters abound. For a person who claims to have faith...you certainly are a doubter. A balanced view would claim that there is both the genuine article and the bogus. It is...

...OR...directly to God. God is faithful.

Amen to God's faithfulness. My testimony is similar although it began by being convicted of sin and reading the bible...which I had never read before. I was asking, if there was a God, for help. After a few days of reading I was baptized in light and walked in that light for a few days until I...

The bible doesn't have power. God does. Your religious inclinations are taking you from a living encounter with God. Read what is happening in the bible. THAT is the normal walk of a Christian. Obeying God's instructions...and having miracles follow. Paul testifies to the Holy Spirit speaking...

I can find any person walking by on the street and he or she will be as you are according to the apprehension of the reality of the biblical account. You are espousing unbelief in the power of God. That's all you are doing. We are to turn away from those who appear to speak of godly things but...

Do you always need chapter and verse? Philippians 3:10 I want to know Christ-yes, to know the power of his resurrection and participation in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, Is this for now...or only after death? Are you the final arbiter of the things of God?

But there is more field out of your park. Even a small bit of Faith can say to those barriers...move...and they will move. The truth lies beyond what we can conceive of...or what sounds "reasonable" to us...unless we have been beyond those limitations ourselves. With God there are no...

But you are missing a whole dimension of understanding here. The word of God is meant to convey us into a spiritual realm so as to walk in the same power Jesus did. Paul says...that I might KNOW the power of His resurrection...and not...that I might read the bible that has no power in it.

LOL. But seriously...how do you know that there are some zingers that you just aren't seeing yet?

But you just said that scriptures negated spiritual experience. Will you say what you mean? Are all spiritual connections today evil?

Again humility would say...I have not yet experienced these things for myself yet... A lack of spiritual experience is a sign of the times. This doesn't mean that intimacy with God is no longer possible.

So then in your view all spiritual powers and experiences are evil since the bible was published?
