    These prayers chip away, bit by bit - it's very encouraging: please pray for all the relationships that are destroying people's lives (alone?)

    Hi there! So I am becoming quite encouraged that the prayers requested on this forum work. I know there will be examples coming, but at the moment I just have a sense that there are very genuine prayers being prayed here. So that's that. What I would like to pray, at the moment, is that God...

    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...

    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...

    Joseph Prince "The Law says 'do not steal', Grace says 'find opportunities to give'" - what a sermon

    Hi there! So I was blown away by this message from Joseph Prince (exact sermon unknown, but I can find it if you want it); with one statement, he made it crystal clear what it is that is meant by "the Law and Grace". I was really impacted and had to tell you! The comparison is so simple, but so...

    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...

    The problem with urging people to apply themselves (in works), is that you need to go back further in the past to justify them (rushed?)

    Hi there, So there is a simple three-fold problem here and its starts with being dissatisfied with your own level of work, but it moves on to being dissatisfied with the works of others. This is no good. The point is that works with God are enjoyable and if you are not enjoying your work, the...

    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 truth is where the spirit and the soul meet (truth?)

    Hi there, So Jesus famously called Himself "the way, the truth and the life" and also said "and you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free" (gospels, from memory). What I wanted to share, is a truth that exists between these two things. This is a truth about the truth! What is...

    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...
  13. Dream About A Highly Specialized Job  (1 of 2 Dreams)

    Dream About A Highly Specialized Job (1 of 2 Dreams)

    Dream About The Highly Specialized Job (1 of 2 dreams in a row) In this dream, I was with another person (a male). He was doing a highly specialized job, which had to do with power or electricity. We were in this place where there were transformers and other metal installations. He got me to...

    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...

    People who go to Hell, sing praises to God as they go (able to sing?)

    Hi there, So something that opened my mind up, to God's sense of justice, is that there is a reason that God lets people go to Hell - they don't get there with nothing to praise God for. It's not a very complicated event, actually, people go to Hell because they lack faith. But lacking faith...

    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...

    The Bible teaches, that Christ created all things - but it is also true, that in the end, Christ holds everything *together* (needed?)

    Hi there! So I had my mind blown, today: not only does Christ created all things, not only does every created thing have their consistence in Christ, but in the end: Christ holds all things together. It was such a powerful thought, because I realized "I don't have to be doing this [life]...

    Ask God for dreams about a scripture - you won't believe how many dreams you have! (post them here!)

    Hi there! So this is just a short heads up, about how to get in agreement with the Holy Spirit, about dreams. The answer is really simple: ask for dreams about scripture. I know someone who asked for dreams about "letting your yes, be yes" and they had so many they couldn't remember them all -...

    Jesus wants God to stay with Him, because God-things happen when He does (welcoming?)

    Hi there! So Jesus says "I do what I see the Father do" (from memory, the Gospels). But why does He do this? I think it is because when God does something that Jesus is able to do after Him, they both are able to do that thing together. Now this being "together" is important, because there is a...

    The Christians with the greatest life, will be those with the greatest dream

    Hi there, I just wanted to point out how important dreams are: the Christians with the greatest life, will be those with the greatest dream. This is distinct from those Christians who have the greatest change (who have the greatest vision). If dreams were not important, why would God give them...
