testimony

Hi there, So yes, just to give you a little strength for your armory: the Devil not only has masqueraded as an angel of light (letters, from memory), but is able to create false emotion and erroneous instruction. That means we need to know our Bible, but also how our Bible is shared amongst us...

Shawn McCraney Interviews with Researcher Matthew Bywater (Explicit Warning - by the way - There are a few cuss words - so if you do not like that please do not view the video - it's not through the whole thing or every other word however it is just an authentic interview.)

Hi there, So this is just cloud gazing sort of stuff, designed to prompt you to think about the truth, in a more engaging way. The subject is "God". But the subject is viewed in a contradictory way, from the perspective of an absence of time. The first idea is fairly simple: did God have a...

Hi there, So I just wanted to get a feel for your faith, out there: there should be some kind of prophecy, that you would hold greater than all the others - it gives an example of what kind of strength God has given you, right? Like is the whole hot/cold thing when it comes to Churches, going...

Hi there, So we have a bit of a problem: the world thinks the world is the end (or at least part of it), the Church thinks the end is within (either in Heaven or on the way to it). What can we do about these two alternatives? Certainly the world being the end, appears rational, at least at...

Hi there, So Jesus plainly said that even though we suffer (and have to give things up), we will receive back a hundredfold. But this is the key: we receive a hundredfold back, with persecutions. In other words, God does not remove the burden of the heat of the day, because we find it hard...

Wow! So, I finally broke free of the Devil's attacks! It has been a constant battle, but the Lord has finally prevailed! The whole thing pivoted on one thing, that which is faith is faith and that which is death is death. You literally cannot hold on to your life and expect the Devil to ignore...

Hi there, This verse literally saved me, from myself. Specifically, I realised that I was making plans constantly, without trusting the Lord at all. Even in meditation, I would try to reach a state that I thought was stable - not what the Lord was giving me, should He be willing. If feel a...

Hi there, So there is a simple lesson to learn, here: don't just punish the Devil. When Satan entered Judas, Jesus didn't say "now I condemn you!" - He said "What you do, do quickly" (gospels, from memory). This implies that the Devil can only do so much and that if we contradict him, the...

Hi there! So I have been thinking more and more about what it means to be a believer, what I should be focusing on as a believer, what scriptures I should be believing. The more I think about it, the less it has anything to do, with what I want. For a start, I can't know everything that every...

Hi there! So basically, I keep reaching a point where I realise "no, God did not want me to just have faith; if I had: I wouldn't have produced the fruit He wanted" I am sort of the lever between God and the world, but I can't function as the lever, if I have been burned - so God puts me under...

Hi there, Pleasing So I have really nailed what it is that confuses me, when people say "without faith you can't please God" and "you can't achieve salvation by works": their sentiment is respectable, and their earnestness admirable, but there is a problem with the way, in which they give no...

Hi there, Introduction to Madness Imagine if you will, that you have dealt with sin and no longer have need of being tempted; you understand that with perfection comes the temptation to be irrational and you have a ready word, with which to defend yourself (from the Devil's attacks). Then the...

Hi there! So I thought I would post this in the Eschatological forum, because this is where the most contention about what is coming is to be found. I am not trying to present a specific case, for the order of things to come, save that I believe the experience of the Rapture, is supposed to...

Hi there, So I think one of the things that confuses a lot of people, in this life, is the idea that they are ruled by a "God" that asserts Himself, to the exclusion of everyone else. This could not be further from the truth. The reality is, that God applies a standard, to everyone, including...

Hi there, So, just to throw in a hard ball, there is a way to envisage the beginning, that makes sense of what we now come to believe is the "moment" (the moment we are in). It's not so much a claim about Heaven on its own or Earth on its own (as they are in Genesis), as it is a claim about...

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...

Hi there, So this is a truth designed to push your faith, a little. The point is not that words give power, but that what they give power to has great meaning. And what is the use of "great meaning", it is able to sift out the weaknesses in your belief and give them strength, that is, through...

Hi there, So this is something really easy and strengthening to focus, in your walk with Christ: the time will come when your previous desire to sin (hate, lie, distrust for example), clashes with your (Christian) desire to die on your Cross. As Jesus said "Father not my will but Yours be...

Hi there, So there is a way to interpret what happened on the Cross, directly: Jesus asked "why Your Abandonment?" and was provoked to fill with contempt; when reflecting on what He had contempt for, He chose sin; choosing sin, the Lord projected contempt for sin in future. That is what...
