Bless you sister, thought I "heard" a little cry for help there. It might be helpful to talk this over with an impartial third party present and that way things maybe can be communicated with less resentment and anger. Just getting things off one's chest can be helplful in itself to clear the...

Yes we have been crucified with Him, our inner man of the spirit.....but now I believe it is our soul-life that needs to be crucified and die and that is what denying self and carrying our cross is working in us. That is what working out our salvation is all about....has to do with walking out...

The captain of our salvation was made perfect by suffering. Instant death is not suffering. Jesus began His suffering in Gethsemane when He was counting the cost, and then was tried, and following that was mocked and beaten, and horribly scourged to within an inch of his life, and then had to...

Oh I'm sorry to hear about your marriage troubles. I know it's not easy at the best of times. Married couples should try not to argue about "meats", whether they are true or not. Different people grow in different ways and at different rates, so learn to be patient and accepting of...

Crucifying the flesh is HOW we're being weaned off it, as it dies. Little by little, the bible says, in God's wisdom....pertaining to the promised land. But He may also choose to do an instant work in an area of someone's life, as I'm sure we've all heard or experienced testimonies of the...

Not our own strength, but it is yielding to and obeying HIS righteousness in us. He does not share His glory with another and God forbid that we should steal His glory for ourselves. But quite right with your second sentence. That is why when we are walking in Him, we do not sin. Eg, I have...

Seems that circumcision of our flesh IS what is happening as we WALK out what already has happened. The Lord certainly HAS pierced beyond the veil for us, but also it is happening in us as we WALK.....a breaking/tearing of the veil of our flesh......since our walk is FOLLOWING in His footsteps...

As we grow, the Lord opens more of His word to us. And what He reveals helps us to grow more, showing us the way forward......His word being a lamp unto our feet and light unto our path.

Is this the scripture you had in mind? 1Co 15:48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that...

The bible says our inner man has been renewed in knowledge after the image of He who created him. We HAVE entered the holy of holies in the inner man. That is why the born again believer is seated in heavenly places, in the inner man of the spirit. That is also why Paul said "I delight in the...

The kingdom of God is real, it is within and among us. (Though the rod of iron is not literal but is allegorical for His word...sword.) I'm just saying putting on/off old and new man is not literal in the sense of putting on/off a coat, but that it is an allegory and manner of speaking...

Putting on new man and putting off the old man is not a literal thing, but is only allegorically depicting a principle...it has to do with what one is yielding to and walking in, either walking in the flesh or walking in the spirit....which means walking in the righteousness of Christ, which we...

Amen. Though I do believe the church in general should be doing more than it currently is. However, there are times and seasons in the Lord as well. Ploughing, seed times and harvests. Fallow times, and fertile times. Eg, even those trees by the river in Revelation only put out leaves of...

I agree, mumbling a prayer is of no use unless one actually receives Christ. It's apparent that you hadn't received Him at that time, but had only acquiesced to a mental assent. If you had received Him, you would have experienced a revelation and met Him face to face as it were, (spirit to...

There is only one calling and it is a high calling. Scripture doesn't talk about a high-ER calling, only a HIGH calling. High, because it has to do with spirit and things above (heavenly), as opposed to being of the flesh and earthly. As in God's ways are higher than ours.

I agree with your post here. What will His wrath will look like in the end if there is so much suffering and tribulation and death in this fallen world already to give us an idea? And I believe sometimes He gives us more than we can bear in order to break us, which enables us to begin...

All things have been put under His feet, but we do not yet "see" all things put under Him. We have faith and do see miracles, but don't see miracles happening every minute of every day. Paul even had to tell Timothy to take wine for his stomach and ailments....why wasn't he healed, even though...

Blessings brother, and glad you enjoyed it....hot off the press of a bible lady this morning, by the grace of God! Unfortunately Episkopos has a way and that way is to undermine faith rather than building upon it the way the word of God does.

You don't understand what true faith is. Faith is the SUBSTANCE of things hoped for, the EVIDENCE of things not seen. And if we have true faith we are following Jesus and paying the price to buy those things we are hoping for but don't yet see.

You're not rightly dividing. We believed in/into/unto/on/upon Jesus when we came to FAITH in Him. That is what that word is talking about, as opposed to mere mental belief. You are assuming that we are starting out with nothing more than a mental belief in God rather than a true conversion by...
