You are speaking of mystical things but I am speaking of experiencing what God wants us to partake in of Christ. IF we have been raised with Christ we are to seek the things that are above. Now of course people will spiritualize this and lake it a normal set of events. But this is not being...

You seem unfamiliar with the way of Jesus Christ . The door is narrow....and so is the way. These are 2 different things. The way of Christ is only a familiar concept with those who have walked on it.

There are 2 approaches to sanctification and holiness...gradually and suddenly.

The truth is that Jesus died for the sins of the whole world. Turning to Christ gets us started on the path of redemption and holiness. But Jesus was RAISED for OUR justification. That means that the life of Jesus is reserved for those who have gone over to God in Christ to be partakers of His...

You are not called to "accept the reality of the words"....that is what religious indoctrination does. You are to go through the experience of it and actually KNOW the power of His resurrection. I call it the deeper things because that's what it is. NOT a superficial nodding in agreement to a...

The modern teachings avoid the truth and the difficulties of the cross by turning into empty dogmas to be accepted as already applied by religious indoctrination. It isn't HIS death (apart from us) that brings new life...it is as we walk in His death that we receive the power of life that Jesus...

The whole process of suffering in Christ is for the mature believer who is no longer trying to avoid everything but immediate blessings. The more we can give up of ourselves...the more we receive of Christ. 1 Pet. 4:13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that...

Yes. And just when I thought I'd reached the depth of God's working in me....there was yet another huge step to take. Thw ways of God are deep indeed.

I see church as a group of spiritual believers together with disciples learning to be spiritual. But I agree that the church is living stones in the Spirit being built up in a heavenly place where God has laid down the cornerstone and foundation of His glorious temple.

As in....always carrying the death of Jesus so that His life is made manifest through us. God wants to bring us to a narrow place....a place that none of us would go because of self-preservation. So God has to convince our inner person that He is safe and can be trusted. Once faith is begun in...

I have posted a diagram of the tabernacle with the dimensions added....which is very pertinent to this thread. Let me just start by saying that the tabernacle represents the human heart. Has anyone ever heard of this or considered this before?

I have posted the opining statements....now I wait for comments or questions.

This is why don't usually post any of the deeper truths here.....people don't understand them. Or want to... It is a sign of the times.

The kingdom of God is a spiritual place....NOT of this world. The Millennial rule is distinct from a spiritual place....which is in Zion which is above. THAT kingdom does not come down from heaven until the next age. But there is a sample state first....when Jesus comes to earth to teach His...

A race isn't over until it's over.

At least....not yet. The Millennial reign of Christ and His saints is training for eternity...and is the sabbath rest of this world's history. Jesus is returning to earth soon to begin this phase of history.

Jesus said...they who endure to the end will be saved....not all will endure to the end. Jesus also said that many try but few are able to enter in the gate. What is that gate? Jesus is the gate to heaven. Very few will enter in and find rest in the heavenly realm of the Spirit. I think our...

Not so much. We are called to follow Him...and that means going where He is...not just remaining where we are and as we are. Faith involves action and motion. It is belief that is static. We are to STRIVE to enter into that rest....not just relax into a sort of non caring and passive state...

Actually being born makes one a babe in Christ. I'm talking about spiritual puberty....basically unknown in the sunday nurseries of the modern church.
