Well, if the accusations were balanced they wouldn't be hypocrisy would they? The ego doesn't get off on balance.

Broken and/or weaned. There is an experience of being broken by the Lord....by God Himself...and then there are various experiences meant to break us over time by having us be weaned from the flesh. The first case...based on spiritual power from heaven...breaks us completely so that no spot or...

This is not about holiness....but about your touchy-feely sensitivities regarding a proper response to what is obviously way out of line. The flesh is being championed by my critics here and you join the party. Talk about unclean. Amen.

It's like when people hit you and then claim you hurt their fist. Unbroken believers are a very sorry lot. They have fully missed the whole purpose of grace. It is not for human aggrandizement. It is meant to break us and convince us that we are nothing without God.

Without the breaking of the Lord we will become worse after a sample of grace. We will think we are special. We will allow the ego to be puffed up along with God's intended target...the inner man. So the need to be broken rises exponentially with any kind of spiritual elevation. Without it we...

Very few see the need (the dire need) to be crucified and broken by the power of the cross. But without that breaking we remain a sinner just as before. The ONLY way to be rid of the sin nature is by being crucified under the power (anointing) of the cross of Christ. His power is undeniable...

I told this story here before...but someone who was eating with him once asked Watchman Nee what it meant to be broken before the Lord. He responded by taking a cookie from the tray and breaking it in half. He then proceeded to push the 2 halves back together. Then he said...that cookie will...

This subject has never been so important as now. The time is short....and yet there is so much ego and flesh flying around the forum. I hope this thread will help people to understand the necessity of being broken before the Lord. A sample of grace has elevated many egos here. There is a real...

You don't understand what holiness is or humility. You demand humility from others...you want respect for your person. But as any reader of the bible should know...there is to be no respect of persons in judgment. And this is NOT personal. At least not on my account. I respond to what is being...

If people want to tilt the balance in their favour while ignoring all the warnings in the bible...that's on them. What I object to is that they try to teach others the same lies and errors. They don't enter the kingdom themselves and they try stopping others from exercising the kind of faith it...

There's nothing really to say to people who consider themselves to be the chosen of God. Logic will not suffice. The bible will not suffice. Once a person has been lifted up in the outer man, there is no hearing of humility or the fear of the Lord. Let them be.

The "it is finished" is Jesus reconciling the world to Himself. What is not finished is any individual race. Whoever endures to the end will be saved. And saved means there are still 3 possibilities. The kingdom of God is like leaven in 3 measures of meal. And the holy city is to be divided in...

Where is the honesty and good-hearted attitude that receives the word with humility and willingness to learn and progress? I don't see any of that in the modern religious system and those who have been indoctrinated into a self-serving version of the gospel.

This is utter confusion. God is not going to call us to do something that is already done. This way of twisting the bible leads to people sitting on their hands and claiming they are rich when indeed they are poor wretched naked and blind. Maybe Jesus didn't get the memo that the Laodiceans (the...

It's one "fell" swoop. :gd But you have it backward. Holiness is not by attainment...but by an instantaneous gift of grace. What takes time is learning righteousness and God's ways with others as well as ourselves. We enter into holiness as we enter into Christ to be PARTAKERS of HIS holiness...

The cross of Christ doesn't "fix" the sin nature....it crucifies it. It puts it into remission. It renders it ineffective. The big misunderstanding is the power of the cross. As long as the eyes stay on Christ...the real Christ...once a person is given access to the spiritual realm...and the...

This is where the power of the cross is revealed. Without the power of the cross putting down the old sin nature there would be nothing having us to CLEAVE to God to remain where He is...to ABIDE in Christ. What is lacking in the modern religious culture is the experience of the full measure of...

Good points. However we see the ALL functioning right now. How we are cleansed from ALL unrighteousness....right now by the washing of the word. We are led into ALL truth by the Spirit. Naturally we lack the glorified bodies that await those who measure up to God's standard. In that case we...

The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times." Ps. 12:6

It could be because silver is the BEST conductor of electricity of any element. So then God 's word CONDUCTS the truth in the best way the same as silver conducts electricity the best. And there is another aspect to silver and why gold is used instead in things like satellites. Silver...
