    New Prime Minister?

    Be encouraged brother....we need to get hold of heaven's perspective.....Jesus said "the kingdom cometh not with careful observation but is within/among you". He also said, "If I by the finger of God cast out Satan then the kingdom has come to you." And..."All authority on heaven and on earth...

    New Prime Minister?

    Good to check into the judgments that God said would come upon ancient Israel in her apostasy and gross sins. Things that are happening in the western formerly Christian nations mirror those same judgments. Stupor...and being ruled over by the heathen. If the people keep going this way, it's...

    New Prime Minister?

    The conflicts, confusion and chaos seem to be outward manifestations of the battle that going on in the spiritual realm. The west once enjoyed the blessings of God because of righteousness and belief in Him, but that's no longer the case. Our nations have walked away from God, and are steeped...

    New Prime Minister?

    Amen...we need to keep our eyes looking up.....keeping our eyes on the big picture. It is the devil behind all the evil, but God is still very much in control (and there are times and seasons when he gives the devil a long leash). We wrestle not with flesh and blood but with powers and...

    New Prime Minister?

    I'm thinking religious/spiritual beliefs are what shape cultures. What are the beliefs of Hinduism? To start with....caste system....karma......they believe essentially the poor and downtrodden are that way because they deserve to be. May the Lord have mercy on Britain and all the west and...

    "All things are lawful..."

    Yes, where it says "all things are lawful" and that "where no law is there is no transgression" I believe it's talking about the ordinances of the Law rather than moral things and righteousness. The ordinances were nailed to the cross and have been done away with, but righteousness certainly...

    What is the High Calling in Christ?

    So many scriptures speak to this journey we are on, brother. I don't know, but it almost seems as though you just made up your mind to argue with this for some reason, even though you're not really sure what you're arguing with, lol. It's not a matter of sitting around waiting for anything...

    What is the High Calling in Christ?

    God attempts to help our understanding since we're mere mortals seeing in a glass darkly and we might not always necessarily see everything completely perfectly. He lights the path unto our feet with His word, enough to get us where we need to be. I think in a nutshell the "work" we need to do...

    What is the High Calling in Christ?

    Yes but it's spoken of in many places in scripture, old and new testaments. Looking into the scriptures and going by the Jordan analogy, I am thinking of it as finally crossing over into resurrection life in the spirit. Elsewhere Jesus said, the kingdom of heaven is like a pearl of great...

    Why did Christ found the church?

    The church is a spiritual creation, not an organization.

    What part of us is redeemed/What part of us is meant to be crucified?

    You're seeing false doctrine because you didn't understand what Episkopos is saying. The outer man, our carnal flesh nature craves and demands "assurance of salvation". It craves to be justified in other words, but God doesn't justify our outer man, He does the opposite to it and we need to...

    What part of us is redeemed/What part of us is meant to be crucified?

    Enjoyed the video brother. Going from being a Martha to being a Mary who had chosen the better part!

    What is the High Calling in Christ?

    Here are some scriptures the Lord has been gracious to show: Deu 4:24 For the LORD thy God is a consuming fire, even a jealous God. Deu 9:3 Understand therefore this day, that the LORD thy God is he which goeth over before thee; as a consuming fire he shall destroy them, and he shall bring them...

    What is the High Calling in Christ?

    Yes, amen, although we may not feel so joyful at the time, but more afterward. :) Heb 12:11 Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.

    What is the High Calling in Christ?

    When did you experience "finally learning" that Christ in us is all and all? It seems sometimes that we're talking about the same things in different words. Jesus is coming soon, so is it wrong to be reaching for that personally, and all it means, and hasten His coming? The Bride preparing...

    What is the High Calling in Christ?

    I can't judge this particular situation to know what applies to who, but I do know in general what you're talking about. It's the devil's warfare against God's children....wrestling not with flesh and blood. God's children get negated and trampled to death as if we're invisible and worthless...

    What is the High Calling in Christ?

    God gives grace to each one as He apportions. Yes, He can give grace miraculously, it's always miraculous. And often it's after He has been working in our life to remove the obstacles to our receiving it. If we are without chastisement we are illegitimate children....so that is generally the...

    What is the High Calling in Christ?

    To answer your earlier point, yes the Lord keeps us, and I would say it is the Lord keeping us in the beginning by plunking us down in churches, in the corporate body, to nurture the newly born. That is how it has gone in the past for the majority at any rate. (Nowadays, that might be...

    What is the High Calling in Christ?

    I had to give that some thought too. I believe our brother is speaking of the 'many are called, few are chosen' principle. Initially our faith walk is very corporate....we worship, pray and get involved in church activities corporately and our faith walk really relies on that in the beginning...
