    The Inner Man

    What is the provision to get the natural man out of the way of this pipeline of grace to the inner man? The cross of Christ. The cross of Christ breaks the husk of the outer natural man...so that the inner man is reachable to God to be filled with His grace. So then with the outer man we take...

    The Inner Man

    What are we do with the gospel message? How do we respond to the calling of God? When we respond from the outer man we get religion...institutions...and every other worldly version of the way in Christ. But this is a counterfeit of the truth. God is calling us in the inner man. Deep is...

    The Inner Man

    Jesus said to the Laodiceans...who saw themselves in no need of anything...that they were poor, naked, wretched, and blind. But that is the condition of ALL men that have not put on strength from heaven. THAT is our natural condition in the world. The truth is always like a wheel within a...

    The Inner Man

    Let us define our terms before beginning into a study on what constitutes the ceiling of the inner man to the faith OF Jesus Christ. We could see ourselves as a seed with a protective husk around it. The outer husk is the natural man, the carnal man...who so often is presented as being who we...

    Personal Revelation

    Prov. 25:2 It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. God is still a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

    How does God lead?

    Prov. 8:34 Blessed is the man that hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at the posts of my doors. 35 For whoso finds me finds life, and shall obtain favour of the Lord

    How does God lead?

    Except the scriptures you don't agree with.

    How does God lead?

    What do you mean by a rhema before you pray?
  10. Episkopos

    How does God lead?

    Amen. The logos is to the outward man what the rhema is to the inward man. The kind of faith that God is looking for is from the inner man...and it is from there that we believe unto salvation. Faith comes by hearing the rhema....

    How does God lead?

    We have 2 options for following the Lord. The bible The Spirit Each one backs the other up so we have a firm foundation to base our directives from God. The OP eliminates the Spirit in favour of the written word...which is also rejected as being obsolete. So then, for honesty's sake...the OP...

    How does God lead?

    Where does it say that? You are asking me to provide scripture...just to repudiate the word in favour of your mythology. What you say has no basis in the bible or reality. Never say that you are being obedient to the word then. You claim to follow the bible...which you don't...but instead...

    How does God lead?

    teaching you here would take too long. But I'll draw you to the very spiritual nature of the gathering together of they who have faith (called the church of God). Paul emphasizes the use of spiritual gifts in the assemblies...without which there would be no spiritual growth possible. Now read...

    How does God lead?

    The opposite is true. The bible is a book of faith. When you believe in God and in His love for us...and that He intervenes to save us by directing our steps in His holy pathways....God sends His Spirit to us. Your idea of a religious belief without power or relationship was believed by those...

    How does God lead?

    ...or what God says...

    How does God lead?

    The mouth speaks from the fulness of the heart...in this case unbelief. A religious unbeliever would seem to be the worst of both worlds. A religious belief is from the outer man...whereas the gospel is meant to be taken in by the inner man. It is to the inner man that the Spirit speaks. The...

    How does God lead?

    In your very humble experience that is. A person who lacks experience is never an expert on any given subject. Doubters abound. For a person who claims to have faith...you certainly are a doubter. A balanced view would claim that there is both the genuine article and the bogus. It is...

    How does God lead?

    ...OR...directly to God. God is faithful.
  19. Episkopos

    How does God lead?

    Amen to God's faithfulness. My testimony is similar although it began by being convicted of sin and reading the bible...which I had never read before. I was asking, if there was a God, for help. After a few days of reading I was baptized in light and walked in that light for a few days until I...

    How does God lead?

    The bible doesn't have power. God does. Your religious inclinations are taking you from a living encounter with God. Read what is happening in the bible. THAT is the normal walk of a Christian. Obeying God's instructions...and having miracles follow. Paul testifies to the Holy Spirit speaking...
