When it says we are filled with the Spirit...it means as full as we can be...even to overflowing. The difference is in the SIZE of the vessel. Some containers are bigger than others. And even today we can be filled with the Spirit to walk as Jesus walked. The difficulty is in allowing ourselves...

To add to this post on Proverbs 7. Prov. 7:5 That they may keep thee from the strange woman, from the stranger which flattereth with her words. Prov. 7:21 With her much fair speech she caused him to yield, with the flattering of her lips she forced him. False doctrine is very appealing to the...

Nice.

We are all in this together. I see spiritual advancement as a team sport. We are up against all the other generations...and not in competition with each other. I think if we realized our need of each other we would pull together to do better than we possibly could on our own. The church is meant...

Here is a harder one that shows the depth of the word. It involves Proverbs 7. This chapter about the "strange woman", which, on the face of it, is about physical adultery and a warning against it. It concerns they who lack "understanding." More on this later. Prov. 7:7 And beheld among the...

Judge by the power of a new life in Christ. Jesus said...I came to bring you life...and eternal kind of life that is in the light...His eternal light. This is a difficult thing we have embarked on...to follow Christ. First, there is something that God does...give us a new spiritual birth. Then...

Bless you Apak! :)

I'll try saying it this way...Just as there are two steps of grace...so Christ is to abide in us AND we are to abide in Him. His divine nature is within us at regeneration...but not His perfect walk..as Paul attests to in Romans 7. Without abiding in Christ we don't have the victory over the...

Resurrection life.

I appreciate your thoughts and presence here!

The faith OF Christ was worked out in Jesus' humanity as He walked in this Earthly place. It is available to us as we enter into Him. We put on His victorious humanity when we put on Christ.

="tigger 2, post: 430324, member: 7653"]Prov. 15:2 (post 2) should be, I believe, 25:2. You are right...typo on my part...thank you Psalm 22:2 (post 3) should be, I believe, Psalm 22:1. Again correct ( I was trusting my memory...which I shouldn't when it comes to exact verses...) The...

This is what Jesus did... Anybody can quote from one verse...but Jesus combined 2 verses together to get a new meaning. So you must add the Gen. 22:13 Then Abraham lifted up his eyes and saw behind him a ram in the thicket, caught by its horns. So he went and took the ram and offered it as a...

Welcome here faithfulness. :) When a ship is caught on a sandbar it needs a tow to get free of it and be towed into open water. The ship that is stuck casts a rope, which is quite small (insufficient to pull the ship but easy to cast) to the tugboat, in order for a big towing line to be then be...

Including a concordance or interlinear to get at the obscure word structures that aren't always clear.

Hab.2:4 Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith. וצדיק באמונתו יחיה Whose faith? A man's own faith? Does a righteous man live by his own inherent...

Here is one that surprisingly few believers know. It brings 2 prophetic verses into one statement by Jesus as He hung on the cross. That statement is...אלי אלי למה סבכתני or in English transliteration "Eli Eli lama sabachthani" (Mat. 27:46) Eli Eli Lama sabachthani? refers to the opening words...

Ok, here is one that kind of sets up all the rest..and shows that God is encouraging us to dig deeper into His word because He has hidden many treasures therein. It is the glory of God to conceal a matter, But the glory of kings is to search out a matter. Prov. 25:2 The word "matter" used...

Have you ever read a verse in the bible and saw new meaning in it as if you were reading it for the first time? Even though you had read it many times before? There are layers of meaning in the bible....especially in the OT....since the gospel was truly hidden at that time. But not so hidden...
