    One commandment?

    ”The Father has loved us so much! This shows how much he loved us: We are called children of God. And we really are his children. But the people in the world don’t understand that we are God’s children, because they have not known him. Dear friends, now we are children of God. We have not yet...

    Destroy the old world! Establish the new, with the words of Jesus! (daring?)

    Hi there, So basically, we need to be proclaiming. "Proclaiming what?" you ask. Proclaiming the old world dead, proclaiming the new world, alive in Jesus! The Holy Spirit will speak up for us, as long as we are proclaiming God's Word. Jesus escaped the old world, and without Him it can do...

    We need to be on the front foot, the Devil wants to snare the nations, by provoking their world (angry?)

    Hi there, So I have been watching the Lord, looking to the Heavens and resisting the Devil (as best I can), and I have begun to perceive a pattern in the Devil's attacks. The Devil has made the nations of the world his focus, and wishes to bring them into a snare (that they are not for God)...

    The life in Jesus, is like a new leaf! (growing?)

    Hi there, So I just realised that the words Jesus spoke about new wineskins - that you don't put new wine into old wineskins - applied to Jesus facing the cross. Jesus didn't try to put the old Jesus on the Cross, but tried to put the new Jesus on the Cross. This is a marvelous thing to me...

    If we do not need to reinvent the faith, what do we do instead of reinventing it? (wait?)

    Hi there, So this is a fairly simple, but genuine question: if we do not need to reinvent the faith, what do we do instead of reinventing it? There is something we all do, in the spirit - which may be different for everyone - so fundamentally, we should be doing that? Right? I think for me...

    The Fight......

    Make no mistake we are in a battle. It is a fight unto the death. Choosing God we choose life and then our battle becomes a real" spiritual battle" against satan & his forces. How can we be prepared? Ephesians 6 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles...

    What is that which defiles a person?

    Don't just trust this or that scripture, trust the Word *itself* (holy?)

    Hi there, So this is a simple revelation, about the Word of God. Yes, we can trust this or that scripture - "What I say to you I say to everyone: Watch!" or "You shall be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect" - that's all well and good. Indeed the Devil will flee even if you resist him...

    I was trying to concentrate and myna birds were making it impossible, but God stepped in to defend me!

    Hi there, So this is just a simple praise: I was concentrating on receiving calls (volunteering work) and I was getting distracted by myna birds (if you know them, they are quite the pest - constant almost monotone noise). I got to the point where I couldn't concentrate at all and started to...

    Death is wise, in the eyes of the Law (prudent?)

    Hi there, So there is a simple proverb to learn, when it comes to death and the Law: What does this mean? It means that when you do wrong, there is a standard - of the difference between life and death - that ought to be heeded. For when you weigh the Law, it ought to be done with compassion...

    You can not be my disciples, unless? (The Cost)

    Luke 14:25-35 The Cost of Being a Disciple With a large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them, Jesus always talked in Parables when others came around that were not his chosen apostles. They were allowed to know about what Jesus spoke about, however be it crowds or anyone...

    Is this world your home?

    Hello to you and welcome, These will be hard sayings. Human beings in general can do great and wonderful things. They can have plenty of money, they can have jobs, they can have friends, they can even do good to their neighbors, they can be leaders, they can be in congress, they can be great...

    What would be the importance of fasting?

    There were times in the Old Testament when some of the prophets, and perhaps the people of the time would fast. Fast normally meant abstaining from food, and going without drink for a certain amount of time, and for a stated purpose. Here a comment from Moses himself, about the time when he...

    It slowly dawns on Mankind, that the flesh profits nothing, and more than that: the place (in Heaven) for the flesh cannot retain it (expectations?)

    Hi there, So I write these things, as much for my own clarity, as anything else. This time, I am addressing the expectations that Mankind has of the Lord. What are these expectations? Well, they are basically that the flesh of Mankind keep living. In other words, not only do men not want to...

    Is there a difference in " FALSE " teaching & error in teaching ?

    I really have no input but was musing over how divided our Christian world is. One states this is "what it says "while another states but this is "what it means". I believe when we study we must do so with the Spirit, rightly dividing the word in context. I do believe we all have some aspects...

    There is more complete at the Cross, than works of the Law can finish (interested?)

    Hi there, So a simple thought (as I am learning to keep my thoughts!): there is more complete at the Cross, than the Law can finish. What does this mean? It means that the more you approach the Cross, the more you will discover that there is no end to the opportunities you can find, to act on...

    The anti-Christ makes Israel strong, but strong in the Law (which is a curse)

    Hi there, So I just wanted to flesh this out for a moment, so that I get a proper grip on the subject, myself. The anti-Christ does not merely weaken the faith - that is a misconception. The anti-Christ makes what he believes in "strong" (now there is a difference between "strong" and...

    Why does God allow suffering? If life did not suffer, the spirit of that life would not last long enough (selah)

    Hi there, So the perennial question about God allowing suffering has a simple answer. It is not an answer that changes that we must suffer, just that the suffering has a purpose. That purpose is life-long, and it means that we can acclimatize to the suffering we must endure. Being able to...

    Simple prophecy: Churches gonna be hot, churches gonna be cold (which is yours?) Discuss!

    Hi there! So from a simple reading of Jesus' prompting, that He will spew out the lukewarm, we can deduce that Churches in future, are going to be either hot or cold. This makes sense, because we are able to plan around our expectation of one or the other. Not half-hearted plans, but plans that...

    Prayer concerning the death of the flesh (the flesh is divided, between the rapture and the tribulation)

    Hi there! So I have lately come to be very vexed by the falling away of dead flesh (in the world). The world has moved away from God and its flesh has started to die, and we need someone like the Holy Spirit to stand in the breach, in some way. I am not sure what such a person would have to do...
