    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    The same test of faith that the Israelites failed in their time...we are failing in our time. What they failed on the physical plane we are failing on the spiritual plane. Joshua and Caleb had a faith in God to do the impossible. But just look at al the people who claim to be believers who have...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    People learn to manipulate something way before they learn the consequences of doing that. We see that with medicines, ideologies, technology...AND especially religious ideologies based on what Jesus accomplished on Calvary. People will seek to exploit Christ...but have no idea about giving...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    People hate the idea of going to Jesus. People hate the truth. They would rather stay very far away and just point to Him ineffectually. The flesh doesn't want to give anything...only to take. They have beliefs ABOUT Jesus but will never believe INTO Jesus. The carnal gospel supports a lack of...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    Run to win! Paul said... 1 Cor. 9:24 Know you not that they which run in a race run all, but one receives the prize? So run, that you may obtain. 25 And every man that strives for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    The bible warns us over and over about the many who will accept the free stuff ...and get puffed up in their own estimation...but will be unwilling to forsake all to buy into the kingdom walk. You're on the side of the name-it claim-it crowd that denies the higher walk. There has to be...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Only a sacrificial disciple allows for their own life to be fully swallowed up by the life of Christ. That is the lesson of becoming the Bride...to let go fully one's hold on life. Even Paul would have had to learn this in stages...going in and out of the Spirit...until one day the love of God...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    The kingdom of God is not in word but in power. only those who have entered into the empowered life of Christ understand the mystery. No words can express the heavenly gift. "But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Dishonesty. You edit my post the way you edit the bible...twisting as you go.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    When absent from the Lord...Paul picked up his cross daily. Otherwise he would not be a disciple of Christ. But Paul also says this...I am crucified with Christ...it is no longer I, but Christ. So then on that level (being present with the Lord in Zion) he is no longer burdened with his own...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    The blood of Jesus is the life of Jesus. We enter into heaven NOW by entering into Jesus and partaking of His life (blood) NOW . A dead religion is based on shed blood. A dead religion points to the cross. A living faith is crucified with Christ.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Peter warned us of the many who would misunderstand Paul and twist his words to their own destruction. And what's apparent is that without the fear of the Lord, that's just what they will do. No warning will suffice for these.

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    Rather than pursue a spiritual fellowship among brethren we have opted for an artificial religious order based on creeds and algorithms in a bid for conformity rather than true unity. God has resisted this scheme by giving us over to another mystery....that of Babylon. Rev. 17:4-6 "And the...

    The Fellowship of the Mystery

    In this podcast we will be looking into what brings the whole body of Christ together in the same mind and same purpose. Whether we are new to the faith or else experienced in the deeper things of God, we share a common cause in the fellowship of the mystery. See you in the podcast.

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Why are religious fictions so attractive to the carnal mind? Because it comes down to cost. It cost us nothing to justify ourselves based on our beliefs about what Jesus accomplished for all mankind. It takes nothing to say...I'll take that. Takers take. But God is looking for givers. God is a...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    There is no understanding of what "imputing" means among those who have been religiously indoctrinated. God considered or noticed that Abraham was righteous. God sees things as they really are. The religious scheme of today is that God is so unrighteous that He imputes righteousness to the...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Talking with you is like asking someone from thousands of years ago...'Have you ever flown"? Of course they would have no idea of what you are talking about asking them something so foreign to their experience. How could I explain to them that in a plane we can "perfectly" overcome...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Followers of "Pauline" (or Paul as interpreted by Luther) get things exactly backwards. If we get Christ's benefits by only believing in it...then Romans 8:4 would say That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in Christ, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. That's...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    And all who enter into Him share in HIS perfection. When you enter into an airplane you partake of the law of flight that overcomes gravity. Without entering INTO the plane you will fall to your death...at whatever altitude. So compare that with breaking one of the laws. In Christ we fulfill the...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    Position? Or a religious opinion about ourselves. Being born again is a TASTE of holiness...a sample of grace...a down-payment (aravon) of what the final purchased item is. But in order to partake of the heavenly gift we need to lay down our lives. If you are a follower of Christ then listen to...

    Is there a higher walk for believers in Christ?

    God has to translate us into the kingdom walk from somewhere. The problem with reform "theology" is that is is just a superficial conver-up that comes from fully misunderstanding what Paul was talking about. We are accepted from our weakness into His fulness of power. "He has translated us into...
