    To be in agreement with the Holy Spirit, you need to pray that your memories be ready and your obedience available (charged?)

    Hi there, So there is a little verse, where Jesus says the Holy Spirit will come to bring all things to remembrance and instruct you in all things. What does this mean? It means that to be ready for the Holy Spirit, we need to be praying for our memories and obedience. If our memories are...

    The Devil makes himself an angel of light, he also gives false emotion and erroneous instruction (on guard?)

    Hi there, So yes, just to give you a little strength for your armory: the Devil not only has masqueraded as an angel of light (letters, from memory), but is able to create false emotion and erroneous instruction. That means we need to know our Bible, but also how our Bible is shared amongst us...

    A Serious Side Effect

    " Satan and Sickness Sometimes we hear of one who is stricken with some deadly disease. He is taken to a healing meeting and, seemingly at least, is completely restored. Can this possibly be of Satan? Why not?... ...One of the saddest aspects of modern healing campaigns is the long, sad...

    3rd Commandment - God's Holy Name

    Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain. (Exodus 20:7) 7. In vain. The word thus translated means “iniquity,” “falsehood,” “vanity,” “emptiness.” To inculcate reverence is the chief purpose of the third...

    2nd Commandment - No idols/Graven Images

    Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the LORD thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity...

    1st Commandment - No Other Gods

    Thou shalt have no other gods before me. (Exodus 20:3) 3. Thou shalt. Though the covenant was made with Israel as a whole (Exodus 19:5), the use of a singular verb shows that God addressed each individual of the nation and required of him obedience to the law. Collective obedience was not...

    The Gift Of The Sabbath - Is It For Us? - NEW AND IMPROVED??

    NEW AND IMPROVED?? When I first started this thread, the comments quickly turned to contentious debate, as could be expected. I got symptoms of COVID-19 Sunday evening and, along with my daughter (who works in a hospital ICU), I got tested first thing Monday morning, and today (Jan 18), we...

    Our desire for Holiness comes in the presence of almighty God.

    And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the LORD of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory. And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke. Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips...

    Seek ye first... God's righteousness.

    KJV Matthew 6:33 33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. In the sermon on the mount Christ exhorts His listeners to seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness. So what is the righteousness of God, and why is it so...

    Colossians 2:14-16 - The Law That Was Against Us

    There is a strange belief on the part of many that the great God-written law of the Ten Commandments was actually a part of the ceremonial law of Moses which contained scores of specific regulations. They do not see the decalogue as being distinct and totally unique because of its divine...

    Must Christians obey government

    A topic that is especially timely today in this fallen world that is getting 'smaller' every year. Today, many people are in fear whether imagined or true. Some people are resisting government, many are obedient to it. Should Christians obey government under any circumstance(s)? Are there...

    How I Understand Good and Evil

    The discussion on the Christianity Board Forums about The Tree of The Knowledge of Good and Evil and Satan's Ability to Create produced some statements that I thought, if carried to their extreme, would make God the creator of evil. My efforts to clarify this seemed to make matters worse. So I...

    EXPECTATION OF THE MIRACULOUS

    "He who believes in Me the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father" (John 14:12). Are we walking with an earnest expectation of the miraculous? Are we truly expecting to see the goodness of God manifested (birthed) on earth, or are we...

    Ethical Dilema (A new take on an old question)

    The Set Up: You and your new wife (or husband if you are of the female persuasion) have just returned from a church mission trip to Ooga-Booga, a small tribal country on another continent. A few days home your wife develops a high fever and all sorts of other bad symptoms. Upon visiting the...
