    Your seed of faith, does not have to be perfect!

    Hi there, So I finally came to the end of myself: about my faith. I realised the seed of my faith, the thing that needs to die: does not have to be perfect. As long as I have faith in my seed, however imperfect, that faith will germinate and grow (without me knowing exactly how - Mark) This...

    "My Strength is made perfect in Weakness" - God is taking on weakness with Israel and the nations

    Hi there! So I just wanted to make people aware that God is beginning to reveal His Weakness for the Son of God (NT). The danger of the folly of sin, is something God wants to confront, by making an example of Israel to the nations - which in His Eyes is a sign of His Love for the Son. Man on...

    Please pray that I become 'permanently simple', I have a wearisome intellect and find it very hard to communicate - thankyou

    Hi there, So I keep a thought journal and I started to think about what it meant to get my point across. I realised that the definition of being able to get a point across is not being 'able' to be simple, but to be 'permanently simple'. Now, I seem to obsess over how to be simple. I used to...

    The Rainbow Door, hidden in the Cross, for when Christ Returns, will have many marvel - the way they never have before (curious?)

    Hi there! So I am sort of spoiling things, for believers who might be here when Christ comes back; but there is a Door hidden in the Cross, that many people did not know was there. A door can be described as a break in continuity, that if passed through correctly, can allow you to make a...

    The Lord came to destroy the works of the Devil (1 John 3:8), when the Lord returns He will destroy the works of the anti-christ (at peace?)

    Hi there! So this is just a little tidbit of elaboration of scripture: 1 John 3:8 says "Jesus came to destroy the works of the Devil" (paraphrase). In other words, we are given freedom, peace and understanding. But there is more. When Jesus returns, He will be extending his purpose, to those...

    The Devil has overlooked whether Evolution is a "degree of change" or a "magnitude of change", it didn't matter to him, but it matters to a Man! (?)

    Hi there, So reasoning at length, with what "Evolution" is supposed to mean - breeds do change, after all - I noticed a discrepancy, in what the Devil was saying the power of Evolution was. The Devil was not saying "some changes were evolution and others were not", he was saying "all changes...

    "The Emperor has no clothes!" - intolerant?

    Hi! So I had this funny thought: you know the story of the Emperor with no clothes, right? An Emperor is approached by some gentlemen, who say "We will give you some wonderful, wonderful clothes to wear, are you interested?" And the Emperor says 'yes', and they work and work to create these...

    The Devil is cast out, he can no longer lure the faith with promises of grandeur - pray that we pursue him out of the nations: in Jesus' Name Amen!

    Hi there, So for a few decades now, the Devil has been stressing me out that my faith is not good enough - but I am finally emerging from the Hell he put me in! We do not need great faith, if we have consistently ready faith. The Devil will always say his faith is "greater", but if we are...

    Timing is very important to the Lord - you do not need to know everything about life, all at once (patient?)

    Hi there! So, a very difficult lesson for me to learn, was that "timing" is very important to the Lord. I think sometimes people assume the earlier they learn about themselves, the more power they will have - but this isn't true. There are some things you can't learn, until you have been in a...

    I know someone, who predicts these boards will get hectic, by about the beginning of half-way through this century

    Hi there, So this prediction is interesting, because it does not specify what the activity will be, just that there will be a lot of it. I think the idea is that even if there is no tribulation, at this time, the internet having been commonplace for half a century will drive the curiosity of...

    What Are Demons? A Bible Study on Language, Culture, and Competing Views

    PAGE ONE — 1,500‑WORD BIBLE STUDY “Demons in Scripture: Language, Meaning, and Competing Interpretations” 1. Introduction The words demon and demon‑possessed appear throughout the Gospels, especially in the ministry of Jesus. These terms carry heavy theological weight, and Christians throughout...

    Did Jesus ever use divine power for His own benefit?

    Your automatic, knee jerk reaction may be to shout NO! But think about it. I think this topic is similar to how most preachers keep repeating, “Jesus spoke about hell more than He spoke about heaven”. Once a popular pastor makes some riveting remark, many other Christian leaders pick up on it...

    Just quick: ask God to give you a sign that you are saved? (He will!)

    Hi there, So just real quick, I do not want to spend a whole lot of time. I asked God, I said "You are a God of great signs - how will I know that I have fulfilled Your calling of me to be a believer?" He said "I will give you the sign of Ezekiel". Remember that Jesus said "the only sign you...

    Babies in the womb are not just lumps of flesh, their experience of reality is "hyper-real" - realer than the adults that carry them!

    Hi there! Let's face it, adults are on their way out! If it wasn't for children, we would get nothing done. But I digress, what I want to talk about here is the value of the experience of a baby. There is some confusion about the significance of a baby and like self-righteous people...

    When we add our faith, to the Lord's faith, we don't just get the same faith, we get so *much* more!

    Hi there! I like to think of Paul's faith in the Letters to the Churches, as reflective of the growing faith the Churches have in the Lord. It is not that we come to faith and hold fast to the Lord, and that is all; rather, we come to faith and a bond is formed between His faith and ours. This...

    Revelation 13:12 says "everyone on earth, will be forced to worship the beast", does that mean everyone on earth needs to repent? (refuse to repent?)

    Hi there, So I took a very little interpretation of Revelation 13:12 and I came to the conclusion, that since I am on Earth and at war with the sin in my members (as Paul says in the letters), I am at the very least going to be tempted to worship the beast. Now, I thought about it and thought...

    Let us be a generation that was familiar with the Lord's presence, with His Glory in God (Australia?)

    Hi there! So every nation is different and those nations that serve (read: are slave to) other nations, must work all the harder to keep their perspective on God. In Australia, I think that means being familiar with the Lord's presence and His Glory before God. The Lord does not boast before...

    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...

    Is the Holy Spirit pleased with the children of God, when they come? (question?)

    Hi there, So Jesus is reported to have said "Will the Son of Man truly find faith on Earth, when He comes?" and I have a similar question. Will the Holy Spirit be pleased with the children of God, when they come? (selah) We are called to be good stewards of our faith, if those that come after...

    I was struggling with the Dragon and I realised "the attack on my faith cannot be stronger, than the Holy Spirit's presence in me is simple to trust"

    Hi there! So yes, praise God! I was struggling with the Dragon and I realised "the attack on my faith cannot be stronger, than the Holy Spirit's presence in me is simple to trust" - I know, I know "greater is He that is within me, than he that it is in the world" (letters, from memory), but by...
