    Has ANYONE Repented And Apologized? -- Or Did They Simply Disappear?

    Pence is a career politician. He is not a true leader willing to stand up for what is right and call out the historical levels of cheating perpetrated by the democrats in the last election. It is clear after what happened in GA that some republicans were in on the cheating too. Pence I'll...

    My take on the Baptism in the Spirit...

    We have adversaries in the heavens, what are mere humans supposed to do about them? God's benefits are too great, and I know I am too weak on my own. I doubt someone would last very long if they were able to advance the Kingdom but didn't have the indwelling Holy Spirit. Recall the work of...

    Should we follow our hearts?

    I imagine this as a metephor of a blind man feeling out the truth with his hands. Because without being given eyes to see we would be blind, and only know God by some of the things he has done. Nevertheless they were perceptive enough to know that there is an unknown God.

    Should we follow our hearts?

    Yes, I think a prompting of the Holy Spirit originates from our spirit, which is in communion with God. The command may pass through the soul, and a renewed mind will not hinder us from acting on it. If we are given peace or Joy, that is a gift which also serves the Lord. Joy is a witness in...

    Should we follow our hearts?

    There is an order of precedence. I've not seen where our motivations should ever proceed from our heart. That is, I want to be happy so I'm going to do such and such to be happy. A proper motivation is from the Spirit, God would have me do such and such, and I may gain happiness as a windfall.

    Should we follow our hearts?

    Isn't following ones heart being guided by our emotions? It's what is commonly refered to as being soulish; Not a good quality to have. What is the quality of those pure in heart? It is like having yourself and all your luggage secured for takeoff. Sorry for the bad analogy.

    Is Faith Healing Really from God?

    Jesus said to be born again, so that is what people should be taught. It shouldn't be surprising that the natural mind doesn't desire the things of the Spirit. Which is why the fear of God should be leveraged to get people to take the first step. So they can have the benefit of the Spirit's...

    Is Faith Healing Really from God?

    it's a nice thought, about some sort of corporate dispensation of the Holy Spirit to the Church. But the most I'm aware of is a visitation. The Indwelling Spirit is for individual believers. It is the reason we are equipped with internal temples. The Holy Spirit will never again dwell in a...

    Is Faith Healing Really from God?

    Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17 The father draws people to Jesus. John 6:44. So yes the Father chooses who to give to the son. The words about Jesus are then preached to people and these ones are receptive to the word.

    Russia successfully test fires Sarmat doomsday missile, one missile can destroy area size of Francef

    I call bullcrap. A kinetic weapon can't release more energy than is in the rocket that lifts it. So at most it would be a fraction of the destructive power of an exploding rocket. Rods from God are very inefficient, as you would need the biggest rocket ever just to orbit one rod. Due to its...

    Is Faith Healing Really from God?

    I should think the #1 priority of those seriously seeking God would be to receive the Holy Spirit. Which means being born again. It's supposed to be easy and from my experience it took less than an hour. 1. Hear the word (I heard from my preacher during a sermon, which was a miricle in...

    Are you going to Heaven?

    Sometimes people just radiate love. They can say very little, and I've just been able to tell.

    Rejoicing over what governor DeSantis did!

    When I went in 2019 I had my eyes open for any overtly woke propaganda. There were iffemanate male staff, which I would expect from the many performing arts majors they hire. Some of the rides were modified to do away with potentially offensive things, such as with some pirates in the pirates...

    Does Zelenskyy Surrender In Mariupol, Russian Prisoner Exchange For Ukraine Troops And Civilians?

    Except breaking a cease fire and blaming it on the Russians would be irresistible to neo-Nazi scum.

    Are you going to Heaven?

    Ephesians 2:8 "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God" Grace is defined as unmerited favor. So it is by merely accepting the invitation to the wedding feast of the lamb that people are worthy. God made humans with a desire...

    Demon Bondages

    I think a stronghold is a sin people have a hard time fleeing from. Like the vomit a dog keeps returning to. Jericho was like a physical representation of a spiritual stronghold.

    The saint must walk alone

    Absolutely not the way it should be. There should be fellowship. But it is also exhausting being unable to take my guard down. Try setting it down for a second and one of the spirits operating in most everyone will take advantage of the opportunity.

    Is God outside of time?

    It can't be stopped, unless the Lord is wanting a bunch of enemies killed. Joshua 10:12-14
