Hey Nancy, I am fully convinced that safety with the Lord revolves around being humble and fearing the Lord. It is when we deviate from that path of righteousness that we get in trouble. Men would have us to abandon the righteous path in order to grasp at the promises of the higher walk. Very...

You should consider that the term "church bashing" is itself an overgeneralization that may include impugning the prophets of God and the Lord Himself as perpetrators. Whether knowingly or unknowingly, going too far one way or the other leaves room for the devil to do his thing. It is too easy...

I understand why you would think that Jesus isn't God. The scriptures must be read as they are written, however. The bible records that Yahweh was the friend of Moses...not some angel. Would you have God be an angel. When there is an angel of the Lord the bible says that. When a person...

Grace is received in two steps. There is the initial grace received as a free gift at regeneration. And there is the fullness of grace that must be purchased from the Lord. The cost is everything you have and are. Remember the parable of the kingdom whereby to have the pearl of great price one...

This is a great answer. Succinct and to the point. :)

The idea of "church bashing" as an accusation is not from God but from below...protecting the fallen state of most of the church. If you want to revile a supreme church basher who is the Lord...as does the prince of this world...not realizing that a wake up call is far better than being cast...

The very opposite is true. The only biblical description of a walk in the Spirit is that it is not natural or a common occurrence. The way of Christ is hard and narrow not easy and wide. You should check again the street signs where you are walking. I laugh when people say that something is not...

The Godhead is the Father and the Son .....who partake of One Spirit. Through Christ we are invited into the fellowship of that One Spirit. It is mistakenly understood that the Spirit is a separate person in the Godhead. But this is not so. Our fellowship is with the Father and the Son through...

The irony here is that the word translated as heritage from the Greek "Klarion" is where we get the word "clergy" from. Here the "clergy" would actually be the laity...if such a distinction actually existed. Of course this obscures the real distinction between those who are spiritual and those...

Actually, it is how deeply we are immersed in holiness. How deep must one wade in the water before we can say we are wet? The righteous still sin. These can receive touches from God as a drop of water that inspires and quickens the inner man. But just like baptism in water...a Spirit baptism is...

I think it's important to understand that the will is from the inner man. The flesh must convince us that doing wrong is required. If the will was in the wrong part of us then it would be impossible to resist temptation. Rather than giving up our will...we need to make it stronger by submitting...

Only in theory. You would challenge Tozer so that you would appear to be better informed than him. I'm sure I could find many who testify of the deeper walk that you would disagree with. So do you always think you know more than these?

This is where humility and the fear of God come to play. Believers nowadays are taught to become arrogant and make outlandish claims that go directly against humility and the fear of the Lord. How many times have I heard such things as...Tell the person sitting next to you...you ARE seated with...

The Saint Must Walk Alone (A.W. Tozer) MOST OF THE WORLD'S GREAT SOULS have been lonely. Loneliness seems to be one price the saint must pay for his saintliness. In the morning of the world (or should we say, in that strange darkness that came soon after the dawn of man's creation) that pious...

This brings people into confusion...the difference between Christ in you and you in Christ. So many will try to overturn the rest of the bible by misunderstanding a single verse. Even sinful believers have Christ in them. To BELONG to Christ one must enter INTO Him. How many believers will be...

Depth is hard to convey. It's about scale. There are touches from God...then there is being led by the Spirit...then there is a full-blown walk in the Spirit where there is NO sin (In Him is NO sin). Until you get to the full walk in Christ you will sin at times at least. You should read A.W...

Anyone who has been in the Spirit knows you go in and out of the Spirit. Only a fully mature full-statured disciple is able to remain in such a narrow walk. That is the very point of growing into Christ or winning Christ...until Christ be formed in you. But that is SO different than who we are...

I have walked in the resurrection life. The first time was for 3 days...in 1980. And the second time was for 2.5 years beginning in 1998. I also experienced a very deep work of the cross where a spiritual knife pierced my chest one morning. Before that, I had heard a voice that said..."the...

I think everyone knows what circumcision is. Natural circumcision is the cutting away of a protective covering that is not required because we wear clothing. Now God uses that same imagery for the heart being uncovered by the flesh in heart circumcision. In the same way that Israel...

Not God the Father. Jesus has friends. And the Lord God of Israel (Jesus) had Moses for a friend. Not so the Most High. Notice that Moses spoke to Yahweh (Jesus) face to face....but could only see the Most High (Yahweh Elyon) from behind. Ex. 33:11 And the Lord spake unto Moses face to...
