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...

Hi there, So it is apparent that there is a parallel to the Rapture. The Rapture happens on Earth. The Two Witnesses go to Heaven. So it is with the faith. When we die, what we know about God does not remain on Earth. Rather what we know about God becomes Heavenly and we ourselves go to Heaven...

Hi there, So yes, I have come to the conclusion that I have been tempted to be so smart it is "sin". I have approached being smart from all kinds of angles, been too verbose and have complicated what I mean. All this I have done, in order to be assiduous in my own estimation. The problem is I...

Hi there, So the Two Witnesses are told "come up here" in Revelation 11:12 (that is, "come to Heaven"). But what are the implications of this? Jesus ascended to Heaven and promised to return. If Jesus ascends and promises to return, how is it that the Two Witnesses - called by a voice in Heaven...

Hi there, So there is a reason you have found eschatology so fascinating, in your walk with Christ - here on these forums! The reason is that prophecy plays a big part of the next phase of life: Heaven. In Heaven, we are not bound to believe in just one kind of prophecy, nor are there so many...

Hi there, So this is a simple proverb that has helped me immensely, so I thought I would share: Just think this over "I am not well, but I don't need to rush to curing myself", "I am prepared to laugh, but not at everything", or "as happy as I am at my cure, there is room for improvement" -...

Hi there, So I just wanted to speak a little about being free in the Spirit. The scope of the Spirit's freedom is in the scriptures. It is good to search the scriptures, for this reason. However, it is easy to fall in to the trap of thinking, that specific verses are there "just for you". How...

Hi there, So there is a simple fact that I think a lot of us overlook: you are rewarded more for saying "faith without works is dead" than you are for saying "we are under Grace". What is the difference? The difference is maturity. More people realise that their faith requires something of...

Hi there, So I have thought long and hard, about why I believe (and what I believe) and I have made very little progress! But something that has encouraged me, is simply that what God created couldn't be as infinite as it is, unless God had willed it to be so. Matter on its own, does not beg...

Hi there, So as much as the Devil is a scapegoat for evil, I wonder what it means that the Devil has never "eaten the forbidden fruit"? When he accuses us before God, part of the struggle is that the Devil's sin is far sleighter, than the sins of man. The Devil tempts man, but he himself takes...

Hi there, So I won't make a long story about this, but I caught the world sinning and I realised what it was doing in sin: it was adding sin to a hard heart. This is something the world does in iniquity, not because it willingly wants to sin and sin more. The flaw is of course that they don't...

Hi there, So just thinking on spiritual things, for a little while, I learned something about Babylon (MYSTERY) that I want to share. Now God at some point says "come out of her, lest you share in her sins" but what is it that Babylon "sins"? The answer simply is: she conceals the cross. Why...

Hi there, So this is just a shout out to all the people who have developed the germ of faith, having been watered by the Lord and given the soil of His Church. You need to pray for the One that lead you to Christ! Say "Lord, thank you for the One that lead me to You, protect and keep them, in...

Hi there, So there is a verse that says "God will not always strive with Man" and another that says "they are blinded, lest they turn and God heal them - that is, in their fallen state" (OT, from memory, my addition). These two things are not evidence of disease in their own right, but I think...

Hi there, So it dawned on me recently that what you say is neither here nor there: but what saves! Jesus Himself said "chasing after Me to be the Christ, is nothing to Me" (paraphrase gospels, from memory) that is "when they say 'here is the Christ' or 'the Christ is there', do not go after...

Hi there, Jesus said, "wherever two or three are gathered in My Name, I am there in the midst of them" (gospels, from memory). Well, if we are united around this website, Jesus is united with us! I don't know what else to say, this is just so great! Lord willing, Jesus will be in our midst...
