*There is no pride in a man who has been brought down to the very depths of himself and saw how God saw him. *It was while he was a believer but had not yet learned how to walk in the Spirit and the crisis came at he end of the chapter and into Romans 8. Does it not bother you that your...

Those who have not been illumined into the higher walk, do not understand this point. It is, that man can fall from that lofty position on occasion (not a daily habit) and hopefully be restored as we see in the examples quoted by you apart from your own understanding of Romans 7 which incidently...

They are still in effect, as we are to be baptized in the Spirit, and the example of the disciples walk from being told to Follow Me till Pentecost is for our education in learning the way of the cross. The truth of this can easily be seen in those who have not been baptized yet came to Christ...

You are talking about the time before the disciples were baptized in the Spirit which changed things drastically. There is a war yes but it is prior to this baptism as seen in the disciples.

Sorry no. There is no growing from flesh to Spirit in scripture it is one or the other. No tap has dirty and clean water at the same time.

Living in the Spirit …7because the mind of the flesh is hostile to God: It does not submit to God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those controlled by the flesh cannot please God. 9You, however, are controlled not by the flesh, but by the Spirit, if the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does...

Well once again I agree in the main that is, serving self but you have not included what else I said ie even if the flesh is 'good' in its intentions. This is the bit that shocks believers and brings them down to their knees when they thought they were serving correctly. But I do not agree with...

Peter I have been hearing something like what you have laid out, and just wonder which teaching has been of influence in it? Or which denomination. So are you saying basically that your revelation came when you saw that Christ 'covers' our sin so God no longer sees it? Thanks.

I should have been more precise. I agree in the main but I might differ on what in the flesh' means in context, ie living out of ones natural instincts and thoughts not necessarily sinful, but leaning on the arm of the flesh which needs deliverance from God as in Romans 7. It cannot be a...

From my understanding, it is living out ones' life in accordance with what Christ commanded and for some of us, that means in accordance with the sermon on the mount.

Yes exactly.

I don't know but it went quickly.

Hi I caught your post and just want to encourage you. It may be that you will never be accepted in any church group. I have had the same thing though for different reasons but I want to let you know that this suffering can be used by the Lord to bring you into His throne room, into an unimagined...

Hello Philip Not quite - I am stuck on the Bosphorus, unable to go back from whence I came but knowing that I will not be accepted on the other side. You see, I believe in the invisible church, the ones who have accepted crucifixion with Christ without necessarily attending Divine Liturgy...

As stated, it is the higher walk and unrelated to the lower level where men are seeing through the eyes of the flesh and know nothing about the crisis of faith which comes when conviction as seen before revivals, brings men and that is believers to their knees with faces in the dust when their...

Hi Rita it is as epi has said; it has to do with the higher walk when one is not just crucified with Christ as a legal position but is as reality. When one has been though it one knows exactly what it was like - usually horrible as you lose the presence of God and it feels like the heavens are...

I don't believe you can keep it purposely. I tried. Neither do I think that Wesley got that far. The ECF's would not agree. There seems to be training that only God will decide if it is done and then one will no longer go in and out.

Not original. The Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father only. Quote scripture for me thanks.

The true was the languages clearly spoken of in Acts 2: 7 And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? 8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? 9 Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the...
