    Will vs Work: Matthew 7:21-23 & Philippians 2:12-18

    Will vs work? Will is the expression of desires, wants and concerns while work is the process of labor or toil. In Matthew 7:21-23 Jesus says "not everyone who calls me 'Lord, Lord', will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the WILL of my father who is in heaven."(vs21) Then He...

    Headship, Submission and Women in Ministry

    I totally agree! She is a very humble woman of God light in step and presence but bears the Word of God! Whether male or female we are called to respect those that serve over us in the Lord! (1 Thessalonians 5:12)

    Headship, Submission and Women in Ministry

    Growing up in an African American Pentecostal church (United Holy Church of America); my pastor growing up was a man of God yet most of the associate ministers were women and holy and MARRIED women of God. Women served as deaconess, missionaries and yes even ministers. I was used to seeing women...

    Seek To Be Humble

    Amen! We serve a savior who gave all credit to His Heavenly Father! And thus in like submission we should give thanks to Him who placed all things at the Father's feet.

    This Means War

    Maybe I am not understanding correctly and I mean this in all respect I just do not see where you all are coming from, I have heard years coming up and have done it myself about "pleading the blood of Jesus" and I find it scripturally sound. The Bible may not use the word "plead" but it surely...

    SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT?

    That was a portion of the conversation I was having on the topic. No where did I say that I doubted the workings and manifestation of the Holy Ghost. If you would've continued to read you would've seen that I to have been slain in the Spirit in a very similar way that you have with no one...

    SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT?

    That is totally fine! I understand about the last minute Christmas shopping. You've given me something to think and pray on. I have had my experiences and you I'm sure have had yours but to see that we can engage in dialogue and see each others points of view and understand them is wonderful! We...

    SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT?

    I agree wholeheartedly. The manifestations of the Spirit are not bragging rights but are gifts that are given as the Spirit sees fit. What's more important is your lifestyle and heart! It was at time way back in the day the old saints told us that they would not believe a person received the...

    SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT?

    Sis, I am not naive. Growing up Pentecostal Holiness Christian tradition and I still am I've seen the real and the fake. My take and what I was taught is that the manifestations of the Spirit can happen to anyone but the true test is the lifestyle of the believer after all that is done. The...

    SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT?

    Praise God! And so very true! The Holy Ghost was sent to indwell in the believer and keep the believer from the power of sin by leading them into righteousness and holiness. In many of my post I strongly hold to belief of holy and righteous living and part of that is love! The gifts and...

    SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT?

    First, I'm not answering in debate or in strife. Whether you believe me or not is your prerogative. When I say that God is working He is by His Spirit the Lord speaks to me and gives me strength. When I say I have been slain I can count it on my hand the number of times its not a regular...

    SLAIN IN THE SPIRIT?

    I've seen people "slain in the Spirit", "falling under the power of God" and I have personally been consumed by the presence of the Holy Spirit and fell out! It's not something every Christian will experience but it has been a benefit to my personal relationship with God and has blessed me. Not...

    This Means War

    I don't know much about mantras but we pleading the blood of Jesus I do not see as that. Its just apart of how we believe and pray unto God. And in many African American Christian songs you will hear repetitions like the one above its called "call and response". Yet the use of "I plead the blood...
