Hi there, So I have been having this battle with the internet for a little while now. It started when I was asking about someone with dementia being prayed for and the internet threw up ads for a cure for dementia. Later it was hermit crabs, when my Mother bought some hermit crabs. All kinds of...

Hi there, So this is a doctrine of Jim Brown of Grace and Truth Ministries: that the believer is predestined to do good and go to Heaven. I haven't dug deeper than that, and already it is causing me problems (perhaps that I have not studied more deeply is part of the problem!). My problem is...

Hi there, The great thing for me, today, is to realise that God is Father to us all. Whether mature or fledgling, strong or weak, God is Father to us all. The childish have a language, that God loves and understands - it is a blessing to have my childish needs understood by God! How do we...

Hi there, So you may remember that Jesus said "I will give you power to trample over the enemy" (Gospels, from memory), but you may not have linked that "trampling" with The Cross. The Cross is able to crush, every spiritual power any where in the Earth. The faith required to do this, happens...

Hi there, I have asked for this in the past and it wasn't really successful - I think because people didn't really understand how their dreams could help share the Gospel. What I am asking is: "Have a dream, that will be relevant to someone I meet"? I am happy to reciprocate the favor, just let...

Hi there, So I have this simple thought for your edification In essence, God will always put the will of His Son (Jesus Christ) before the will of the Holy Spirit. This is because to be completed means that you need a foundation, and the only way to develop a foundation, is to be converted by...

Hi there, So what the anti-christ will do, he will do steadily. This is the approach to the end. The question is, if the anti-christ has a name, will he answer to it? I have stated elsewhere that the anti-christ rejects birth (and so can't be born again), but the Lord promised that He would...

Hi there, This will require a concerted effort on the behalf of the faith. I am losing my life to medication. Names of people, orders of memories, place and time of details of memories. All of it crushed. No feeling. No great highs or lows. I don't even know how to answer my psychiatrist, as...

Hi there, So I will keep it brief, so as not to weary you: my family went through a very trying time, all sorts of things, financially also and I began to rebel against the faith. I didn't know how to keep myself clean and fed my soul with anti-Christian music. It reached the point where I...

Hi there, So I just want to call out "false religion". False religion, is a work of the Devil - as such, it is to be resisted. False religion is not something you should entertain by degrees - the Devil will snare you in false religion, whether you are a novice or an expert. As scripture says...

Hi there, So I have meditated consistently for a couple of decades now and I have never looked back. Jesus said "by your patience possess your souls" (Gospels, from memory). I think we should take that seriously! "He who loves Me, keeps My words" (Gospels, from memory). The thing to note, is...

Hi there, So it is a simple thought: the Gospel points to the Gospel, that's the Gospel (selah). But how does it play out? In reality there are many attempts at pointing to the Gospel, but only so many succeed. The rest become distortions of the Gospel, that twist and divert from the Gospel's...

Hi there, So I just want to dwell briefly on the fact that God does not create, such that we suffer on our own, but that God creates knowing He will suffer from His creation suffering. God suffering is why our relationship to Him is so important: without a relationship to God, there is no end...

Hi there, So I have had a little of an awakening, actually. Not only have I come to the conclusion that you can't save yourself, unless you have first obeyed; but I have come to the realisation, that the state you are in when you commit your obedience to God, matters to God. Let me explain what...

Hi there, So I am not sure where to take this belief, but the Holy Spirit has come to reveal to me, that His soul dwelt in the flesh of Christ. When Jesus died on the Cross and was speared, blood and water coming out of His side, was a sign that the Holy Spirit's soul was leaving His body. This...

Hi there, So you know that Jesus perceptively announced that the Holy Spirit would convict the world of sin, righteousness and judgment? That is fascinating, but there is a truth in that, which is that God has a conviction for all of us to share with the world. Not only that, but everyone who...

Hi there, So you had it, you chose to believe and you threw everything in; it was easy, it was light and you loved it. Then trials and tribulations came along and you started to doubt. Doubt turned to complacency (a lesser evil) and complacency to a deadness in your spirit. Then you quit. It...

Hi there, So I guess this falls under the category of "ask and you shall receive", and since I don't know what I am going to receive, it is also a matter of faith. The essential point is that I understand what it means to love someone, but when it comes to loving the brethren I have never asked...

Hi there, So a very simple concept for you to get your head around: in the beginning, nothing broke the Law, that's the beginning (selah). What does this mean? It means that God was determined that nothing break the Law, and nothing broke the Law. If nothing breaks the Law, then it is perfect...

Hi there, So in a few short words, I grew up in a wealthy family, in a wealthy area, going to a wealthy Church. Then the Devil snatched it all away and I made some very poor life choices. Then I came back to the faith and started to pick up the pieces. That's the short of it. But this is what I...
