Praying for you!

Hello, brother Epi! Good to see you here.

Praying for them!

"To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: ...a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;" Ecc 3:1,7 Jesus certainly understood that: "And when he was accused of the chief priests and elders, he answered nothing. Then said Pilate unto him, Hearest thou...

When God speaks through the mouth of man to me, it is certainly audible! Mostly He speaks to me when I spend my early morning time reading the Bible and talking to Him. My ears, the ones on the side of my physical head, seldom hear the sound of His voice.

Yes, the Lord knows those that are His, but sometimes, I believe, those who are His do not know that they are. On the other hand, there are some who presume that they have something, which they do not: "Two men went up into the temple to pray; the one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. The...

If I am hearing His voice and following always His lead, never quenching the Spirit then I am abstaining.

@bbyrd009 , I believe, means, as Jesus did and does, that Life is for now, but too many believers are looking for something up there and/or after a while. They are mostly into death now not realizing, that they are abiding mostly in death now and that likely for them there will be no up there...

I have likely passed tests, but have I passed the test? When a person who has received the Holy Spirit, rather than submitting to the lead of the Holy Spirit, quenches the Spirit repeatedly, he is in a whole lot of trouble with God. In my experience in even the best of church settings, people...

Where He leads us, should we not follow? No where else to go for alone what hope do any of us have?

Are we then his sheep? Is it possible to a believer today to sin? What man knows he is finally and completely saved and a sheep who hears only His voice? "And when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before them, and the sheep follow him: for they know his voice. And a stranger will they...

Unstable we are if we are remaining in our double mindedness. Dead we are and finally will be if we are not growing. Are we not then like a pond with no outlet full of the dead and dying? Jesus is and is to be the Head of the Body of Christ, but who may be included in that Body? We may indeed...

There is nothing we do that pleases God if led by any spirit other than the Holy Spirit. Can we still hear other spirits? Can we still choose to obey spirits other than the Holy Spirit? What is the difference between a "born again" [born from above, or born of God] person today and Adam & Eve...

Jesus suffered and went to the cross of his own physical death without complaint because it was his Father's will. Are we better than Jesus? Not me! "Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if...

Anything in our eyes treated as being first [instead of God] even for a moment is selfishness. What is double mindedness? Was Jesus ever doubled minded? How like Jesus are we at this moment? How well do we see him? Jesus grew! Are we growing... in the right direction? Which way is that? Jesus...

Even so my friend! Let us remember what Jesus as described here by what Paul wrote: "Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem others better than themselves." Phil 2:3 Jesus was selfless in his actions and demeanor. He asked his Father to remove...

Very simply my purpose is to love Him. I am not running for heaven or for salvation but for Him, the One who loves me. To say it must be this way or that way is not for me to say. There are rewards indeed, but they are not my goal. They are in God's hands. What does He want of me? "But seek ye...

Yes, indeed, if we pass the test. God provided the means for anyone to make it. Many will not because they are not interested at all or they unwilling to use what God has provided to strive. Our striving will not alone do it, but God seeing our efforts can and does fill in the gaps for people...

Without a doubt, but I posted it to this thread as it certainly, in my mind, did fit.

Consider that the Red sea was heaped up to one side to allow passage from sin toward the Promised Land. They did not even get their feet wet with that water. Jesus walked on top of the filthy water, whereas Peter looking down fearfully began to sink into that mess...
