    Someone who is a slave to sin, has a limited time to flex their strength (convicted?)

    Hi there, So it occurs to me that there is a link between being a slave to sin and the pressure we feel to act, under the influence of sin. Basically we become slave to sin, hoping to gain the strength of God without God. In doing so, we discover that we do get some strength, and we can see it...

    When the World comes against us, its like we are going to come against them and give them the mark (of sin), but we don't: the Holy Spirit intercedes!

    Hi there, EDIT: I sort of wanted this to be about praise to the body of Christ for not sinning, but it ended up being more about the Holy Spirit - such is the Spirit! So you might not understand this, if you haven't been convicted of sin, over a long period of time: but there are psychological...

    The World will discover, that the mark was already taken - Jesus revealed the mark on the cross, but did not boast (reminisce with me)

    Hello there! So, there is a simple fact, at the heart of the tribulation: the mark the anti-Christ tries to take, is the mark that was already crucified, by the Lord Jesus. The anti-Christ is the man of sin, but the mark of sin, was already taken by the Lord. This causes the anti-Christ to...

    You are going to feel awful about your sin, for the rest of your life - why not let the Holy Spirit make you feel good about the afterlife?

    Hi there, So I have sort of turned inside out, pursuing faith. I was vexed for a long time, about my sin and how to overcome it. At times I would feel fine, then at others I would be vexed; then I would feel like "I have to do something about this 'feeling'!". Eventually, thinking about the Law...

    Time occurs, in the space provided for God's Spirit - no space provided for God's Spirit, no time (discuss).

    Hi there, So I guess it behoves me to set out why it is that refusing to give God's Spirit space, is not wrong. Refusing to give God's Spirit space, is not wrong: if you all the work of the Holy Spirit to be finished. The point is, if you haven't given God's Spirit space, you should wait until...

    In Heaven we can't tell what our sin was, even if we wanted to (and that's the way we liked it)

    Hi there! So there are plenty of people in this world, who have sinned to the point, that they would rather be in Heaven, but they don't know why - that's what preachers with a word of knowledge from the Lord are for! They (these people) honestly would die for someone to make clear what the sin...

    You regret that you sinned, now get angry; you identify that learning from your sin was bad teaching, now get bitter (selah)

    Hi there, So something that has helped me tremendously in my walk with Christ, has been identifying where I need to do an about face. An about face is where you acknowledge that you have been heading in the wrong direction (down the wide road to destruction), and you hold still and turn around...

    For there is no difference for all have sinned.

    Sin is a hot topic for a lot of people today because of our flesh naturally enjoys to be appeased. However, with-in us is our soul (Heart/mind/will/emotion), is also what affects the choices in which in which an individual chooses to do whatever they will with their flesh. However what does it...

    Prosperity ... Does the Bible Teach it?

    Let’s get this issue settled. Let's first define what prosperity is. We can think of it as flourishing, thriving, succeeding with good fortune, success in social circles, basically achieving what you set your heart out to achieve. Our lot in life isn't for all of us to prosper financially, to...

    Re: overcoming the carnal world

    Hi there, So I have come to the point, where I have control of my desire, again. I had a relationship with someone in the world, and was lured to disregard my crown (which the Lord gave me). The person I was with, wanted to make it (the crown) something I did not respect. But I learned through...

    Seeing the difference = renewing the mind

    - Perhaps the single most important understanding you can attain, regarding being "born again", is the understanding regarding the distinction between : Salvation, and Discipleship. Most Believers do not see them as DIFFERENT, and until you understand that they are completely different, you'll...

    The Holy Spirit can cover you, extend your righteousness, limit judgment of you.

    Hi there! So I have been growing in faith, as I continue to commit to the good life, for God's sake and I have learnt to interpret the work of the Holy Spirit as strength, understanding and meaning (all of which I want to share). The lessons I have learned are very important, because they add...

    When the Devil doesn't know, which way you'll go: you become the first enemy (selah). Discuss.

    Hi there, So this is a simple bit of wisdom, that I just want to tease apart a little, and see what it means: The Lord struggled with this, always telling people not to talk about Him, asking His Disciples to wait for His resurrection before they told people about what they had seen (from...

    It's not wrong to be in the garden of Eden, if you don't know why you are there (selah)

    Hi there, So here is a truth, that I think helps keep a fresh mindset. We know about the Garden of Eden and how the Devil was in its midst; further to that, the temptation is to think that the Devil was somehow seeking to get control over man, by bringing him into subjection to sin. In other...

    Being set : FREE

    - So many... literally millions upon millions of born again Believers, try to stop sinning and it gets WORSE. The harder they try to stop the worse it gets. The more they strive to be good, the more they think about sinning. The more they try to not commit that same sin again, the more they...

    WHY I believe what I believe !

    About four months ago I authored a thread of what I believe as a follower of God. Now I want to establish WHY I believe as I do. I still believe in a supreme sovereign God. ONE GOD. The God that walked in the cool of the evening talking with Adam in the garden. Genesis 3 Adam obeyed the...

    My Brother's Testamony.

    - How do you know if you are born again? 1.) Its because Christ is in you, and wasn't before you were born again. Another way to recognize it.....is that you have a DAY,... a DATE, in your past when you understood that you are a sinner, and you need a Savior. You heard the Gospel, and it said...

    Psalm 51:6 : Hidden Light

    - Psalm 51:6 : "Behold, tho desirest truth in the inward parts, and in the hidden part tho shall make me to know wisdom" ------ 1.)" Behold, thou desirest TRUTH, in the inward parts..' Ok, that is not your body's inward parts. But rather its your Your Spirit (man). God wants you to have...

    What the Heck is Salvation? And what are we Saved From?

    There appears to be some confusion as to what actually constitutes salvation, how it is procured, and how, even whether, it needs to be retained. There are threads all over the place discussing various aspects of the gospel from go to woe (perhaps an unfortunate pun) but what prompted this...
