    Grief comes more easily to the simple of heart; those that trust the Spirit have their share of strife (selah)

    Hi there, So I wanted to focus on something that I didn't actually think I would encounter as a believer. For a long time, I thought the problem with my faith, must be that I backslid; which constantly seemed to drag me back into doubt. Then I realised I was trying to "do faith" on my own, too...

    This is the difference: believers ask for their soul to be resurrected, non-believers ask for their sin to be resurrected (deciding?)

    Hi there, So listen, I was struggling with a sin/a temptation for a long time, then I finally kneeled and turned to the Lord and in the process I realised that I had had a fundamental change of approach. I used to think what mattered was my flesh and that my soul would be ok as long as my flesh...

    You may not realise this, but the Holy Spirit is better at Christianity than you (learning to trust Him?)

    Hi there, So this is a thread of praise and worship of God, but a special mention of the work of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit has a stronger faith than any of us. I used to think "I need to fix my Christianity" but in reality I needed to trust the Holy Spirit to do with my faith, what I...

    When everything happens at the speed of light, the Light ceases to need praise! (want to praise anyway?)

    Hi there! So this should really make you confident, that praising God is purely for the Love of it! Christ experienced life in relation to mortality, but keep Himself alive in God, by reminding Himself of the Psalms. But when Christ reaches His Father in Heaven, there is no longer separation...

    The real struggle at the moment is not the Devil, but Lucifer - Lucifer corrupts peace

    Hi there, So you may or may not get something from this, because I am speculating outside the Bible - but from my observation, Lucifer (not "the Devil") is at work at the moment. The Bible talks about the Devil being let out of the pit, to test the nations - my understanding is that that...

    Just a little proverb for you to contemplate: 'fabulous people know when to celebrate; spiritual people know *why*' (choice?)

    Hi there, So this is a simple proverb I came across, which deals with the attitude we should have when we celebrate - be it in the world but not of the world, or with faith or with family. The point is, there is nothing wrong with celebrating something, as long as you don't do it all the time...

    Brother's house sold (thankyou); the Devil keeps attacking my salvation (because at one point I backslid)

    Hi there, So just to get it out of the way: my brother is trying to sell a house of his (its really time critical, because it is costing money), I don't know that you can force someone to buy it, but maybe pray that someone will want to commit and that will help. The other thing is: the Devil...

    Linking a Man to an animal, is a sin - how much a slave to "linking with an animal" are Evolutionists (if sinning makes you a slave)?

    Hi there, So this is just calling Evolution's claim that we come from monkeys out for what it is: sin. There are lots of sins, but this one is particularly popular, at the moment. I defy it as a work of the Devil! Lord, we plead your blood over what "linking with an animal" robs us of, in Your...

    Jesus essentially taught the "fear of God" ("the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand"), the Holy Spirit will teach the "dread of God" (been absent long?)

    Hi there, So this thought is just going around and around in my head: the Holy Spirit will teach a greater degree than Jesus. Jesus essentially taught the "fear of God": repentance, righteous judgment, atonement - we were expected to understand that our fear of God should in fact be a...

    Constantly afraid there will be a big "die-off", when God calls many home (Lord help?)

    Hi there, So I have been wondering for some time what happens in the lead up to the tribulation and one thing I cannot account for is the notion of the Rapture - which I think may mean that a lot of people on Earth (of all faiths, meaning everyone) will "be called home" (die). It's something I...

    The brain is much more willing to obey you, if you limit micro-aggression (lessons from meditation?)

    Hi there, So I guess I am just putting this out there, because I have spent a lot of time meditating but never really had control of my brain. The point is simple: the brain is more willing to obey under certain conditions, than others. The condition the brain specifically responds to, is that...

    [can't discuss in non-Christian forum] If someone goes from being atheist to being agnostic, is that progress? (remember?)

    Hi there, So I can't discuss this in the non-Christian forum, because I am Christian - but I am really curious? If you were dead in your sins and denied there was a 'god', but the Holy Spirit started to work with you, and you started to think "it would be better if I didn't make up my mind or...

    Thinking you see the Cross, at the moment you see Christ (and not before), actually slows you down: but the Holy Spirit said to me "don't worry"

    Hi there! So I had the first real connection with the Holy Spirit, right now and I thought "I better share this, or I will miss what's next"! Anyway, what I was thinking was "I'm always thinking of the Cross, with Christ on it" - like that is the default way the image works in my mind. The...

    The way out (of trial), continues to be through scripture! (overjoyed?)

    Hi there, So I have struggled for a long time, with poisonous thoughts. When I was in my teens, I got caught up with Satanic music and I said something I shouldn't have, in a state of unconsciousness (while listening to that music). It woke me up (that I said this thing), and it plagued me ever...

    I think I've worked out where the Devil puts a wedge between me and the Holy Spirit! He can't actually separate you, if you share a similar root!

    Hi there! So you are probably dying to know what "sharing a root" is, basically the Devil criticises you for having this. If you rebuke him on it, then you are free to serve the Holy Spirit meaningfully, as long as you like. You share a root, with the Holy Spirit, if the object of your...

    Is it possible, that Jesus could make an 'aspect' of your faith: a mystery? Why does Jesus need to declare everything openly (for you to be happy?)?

    Hi there, So a simple thought struck me, while thinking over what is to come and why (praise to the Holy Spirit!) and I realised: everything I ask the Lord to do, I ask Him to do openly, in declaration of love to me! But what is true love? Is it not to let the One who serves you, serve in...

    I tried to rush the Rapture, and I felt sick (can you do anything apart from God?)

    Hi there, So I guess I am nothing, if not honest to a fault: I really and truly thought I could 'rush' the Rapture! It was just a matter of working out what the fool would believe, how he would see killing the faithful as a favor to God and imagining that the Devil would justify him. But God...

    The Devil refuses to call Christ 'evolved'; if he won't acknowledge Christ, what chance do we have? (kidding yourself?)

    Hi there, So there is a grave problem, with Evolution: the Devil does not acknowledge Christ, as 'evolved'. How do I know this? Because Jesus said the Holy Spirit would convict the world of judgment, because the "ruler of this world has been judged" - in other words, because he has not...

    I don't know what it is, but I can't stand the idea of being 'beaten' by "Evolution" - Creation is *too beautiful* to be sidelined by angry naysayers!

    Hi there, So I have gone in and out of understanding 'Evolution', I have turned the whole thing on its head and what I can't stand is the idea that it somehow does away with the need of a relationship with Christ. Before Evolution was coined, Creationists vouched that "God had created the...

    End times. Christians will be like the soldiers of Gideon, around the world (sin in check? lights shining?)

    Hi there, So I had this thought, maybe I should post about the scriptural foundation Christians will have in the end times (and I sort of felt the Holy Spirit say 'I'm not suggesting you do anything else', making it one of those 'freewill' things). There is a scriptural foundation for how...
