    To encourage towards Christ

    This is an interpretation that is really just saying...whatever you think you have...you have! A name it and claim it mentality. A peace and safety mentality. But in truth we must be vetted by God to go deeper into His promises. God has standards that must be met in righteousness and truth...

    Religious Facade Christianity

    Yes, There was no divine nature in anyone in the OT. That's why Jesus said that even the least in the kingdom of God was greater than the greatest among the sons of men...ie ..John the Baptist. But people have reduced what is means to be born again and walk in divine power and love. So many...

    Purpose Of Jude

    Jude devotes his entire letter to the presence of they whom the Lord will reject and who are perfectly happy within the church setting at this present time. As in..not all who say Lord, Lord. They rejoice in the Lord as the other brethren do. So we ought to not be high minded but fear. Let us...

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    All the ways of God are to us as a double edged sword. It cuts both ways. The truth is like a wheel within a wheel. What seems to be on the outside is not the same on the inside. Like the roots and branches of a tree. Hence the contradictory messages in the bible. It is about knowing where to...

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    Meaning that God is present everywhere. No need to belong to a specific group. Hence God remains the initiator of relationship.

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    Yes...and even Saul prophesied so that people said...is Saul also among the prophets?"

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    How much grace/faith does it take to be translated into God's heavenly place in Zion so as to be in the light as He is in the light? What is the amount of consecration (of course always 100% surrender) and seeking that affords a walk in the spiritual realm of the kingdom? Only God knows. He...

    Any thoughts on this??

    I think a lot of emphasis is put on a physical rapture...an "easy out" (hence it's popularity) away from the problems of this world...and a way out of the coming tribulation. But the bible speaks of rapture as more than just a physical translating away. It is mainly a spiritual reference. A...

    Religious Facade Christianity

    It has been said...that the New Testament is in the Old testament concealed, and the Old testament is in the New Testament revealed. It takes wisdom to see how that works. We can't expect everyone to just get it. There will be naysayers. But those who understand spiritual things the OT is as...

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    To me this sounds like the Song of Songs. :) Very intimate...and a very female inspiration. For me it is more like His glory that invades my soul. <><

    Responding to the verse you wrote...do you know what it even means? And what are you...who are not a Spirit-filled believer doing on a thread that is asking the advice of such?

    You may be confusing "My sheep know My voice"...with a chapter and verse citation that anyone can read.

    ...by the "rhema" of God". A rhema is a word you actually hear...not what you read per se. The word...logos... is solid and static. It is like monument. Like the way you read the bible. But a rhema is dynamic...miraculous. It is personal and intimate. It is that dynamic word spoken to the heart...

    Religious Facade Christianity

    I know that in the US of A, battle reenactments are very popular. I myself was a re-enactor for a number of years going to all the forts of that period...(1744-1760) What the Americans call "the French and Indian war." Now some people get carried away with this form of exercise and some...

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    Here is another controversial subject. Being born again gives us an access to the kingdom of God...and we may even have a chance to SEE the kingdom realm. But this is a potential...that can only be actually requited by giving up all things in this world so as to purchase our way INTO the...

    Yes, a trap for the carnal man who THINKS he has understood them. The hypocrites among us.

    The Wonders of the kingdom of God.

    Now I will share this..even though I expect some opposition to it. But this is a helpful way to understand the relationship between grace and faith. We begin with just our own faith. Everyone has a human faith. If we didn't have some kind of faith, we couldn't get through our day. Now when we...
