    So frustrated at sin right now - stop sinning the old sin, sin the new sin?

    Hi there, So I am really frustrated and I think its to do with sin. I get that the Holy Spirit gives us a desire to be godly and its wise to wait for the opportunity to be godly, as the opportunity arises. I get that being ready for this, means repenting of whatever comes to mind (as the spirit...

    I think I've worked out where the Devil puts a wedge between me and the Holy Spirit! He can't actually separate you, if you share a similar root!

    Hi there! So you are probably dying to know what "sharing a root" is, basically the Devil criticises you for having this. If you rebuke him on it, then you are free to serve the Holy Spirit meaningfully, as long as you like. You share a root, with the Holy Spirit, if the object of your...

    Is it possible, that Jesus could make an 'aspect' of your faith: a mystery? Why does Jesus need to declare everything openly (for you to be happy?)?

    Hi there, So a simple thought struck me, while thinking over what is to come and why (praise to the Holy Spirit!) and I realised: everything I ask the Lord to do, I ask Him to do openly, in declaration of love to me! But what is true love? Is it not to let the One who serves you, serve in...

    End times. Christians will be like the soldiers of Gideon, around the world (sin in check? lights shining?)

    Hi there, So I had this thought, maybe I should post about the scriptural foundation Christians will have in the end times (and I sort of felt the Holy Spirit say 'I'm not suggesting you do anything else', making it one of those 'freewill' things). There is a scriptural foundation for how...

    The false prophet is like untamed wind, the Devil confuses, but its the anti-christ that makes you feel weak (mad?)

    Hi there, So this is just a brief gripe about the anti-christ: he makes us feel weak. The Holy Spirit on the other hand, makes us feel strong. The false prophet, is like an untamed wind; he just clamours here and there - once you are out of the path of his moving around, there is very little...

    The Devil tempts me to be introverted, to the degree that I become a psychopath - I finally brought up the courage to confess it to God (help?)

    Hi there, So I love being introverted, but the Devil tempts me to take it too far. I got to the point where I said "I have to admit it: I'm a psychopath [sorry, God]" So here's a prayer for all the people that are struggling with how they relate to the Devil, all the people who are too...

    The Bible teaches, that Christ created all things - but it is also true, that in the end, Christ holds everything *together* (needed?)

    Hi there! So I had my mind blown, today: not only does Christ created all things, not only does every created thing have their consistence in Christ, but in the end: Christ holds all things together. It was such a powerful thought, because I realized "I don't have to be doing this [life]...

    Ask God for dreams about a scripture - you won't believe how many dreams you have! (post them here!)

    Hi there! So this is just a short heads up, about how to get in agreement with the Holy Spirit, about dreams. The answer is really simple: ask for dreams about scripture. I know someone who asked for dreams about "letting your yes, be yes" and they had so many they couldn't remember them all -...

    Jesus wants God to stay with Him, because God-things happen when He does (welcoming?)

    Hi there! So Jesus says "I do what I see the Father do" (from memory, the Gospels). But why does He do this? I think it is because when God does something that Jesus is able to do after Him, they both are able to do that thing together. Now this being "together" is important, because there is a...

    The Christians with the greatest life, will be those with the greatest dream

    Hi there, I just wanted to point out how important dreams are: the Christians with the greatest life, will be those with the greatest dream. This is distinct from those Christians who have the greatest change (who have the greatest vision). If dreams were not important, why would God give them...

    Eat of My flesh and drink MY blood ?!? Jesus's flesh is *Word*, His blood is *Spirit*! (trusting?)

    Hi there, So this is something that confused me for a long time, not in a big way, but in a "wish I knew what that meant" kind of way. That is, "eating Jesus' flesh and drinking His blood". In the same way that being the 'Door' does not make Jesus a frame made of wood, there is a way to...

    Actually, I don't want to read something put together by AI - especially not concerning the faith (not constructed enough?)

    Hi there, So look, I know that AI is a tool - I get that - but there is a big difference between reading verbal porridge (nutritious but slush) and reading the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is dynamic and charged, its not a style you just put on. Maybe people who have no other...

    Without Love, God is darkness (lost?)

    Hi there! So a simple thought: without Love, God is darkness. In other words, when people sin, they say "the darkness made me do it". What they mean is "I refused to let God be God to me, and did what I liked". The darkness then, protects God, since He cannot sin as God, but is absolved of His...

    Jesus will return as the smartest Man that ever lived (waiting?)

    Hi there, So we frequently hear about the return of Jesus, that He comes to rule the Earth (and its nations). There is scripture for this, which is fine (I couldn't tell you which scripture specifically). But there is another return, which doesn't get much attention because it is obscure. The...

    Freed from demonic stranglehold! Praise Jesus!

    Hi there, So when I was a rebellious teenager, I turned to evil music. Even though I had faith, I found myself drifting away - because of the struggles my family was going through (finance, divorce, etc.). The evil music stopped me from caring what was happening to my life. Then, instead of...

    I feel a little uncertain, calling myself a 'newbie' - but I need help (and once upon a time, I *was* a newbie!)

    Hi there, So there is this dilemma I am in, about my relationship to God. I know relationship is important, but if its important, then how you define it is important too, right? So I have this understanding, in my head, that I have my side to the relationship I have with God, and God has His...

    Jesus doesn't just become 'sin', He puts sin out of reach (selah)

    Hi there, So this is something that will certainly enhance your understanding of the Cross, if not sin and temptation. What I want you to do is look at the Cross. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:21 "He who knew no sin, became sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God". Now...

    We have to hang in there, with the Holy Spirit - our conviction now, will grow and as it grows, it will change (help?)

    Hi there, So I have conviction in the Holy Spirit, which is great. However, I am concerned that the message of the Holy Spirit not be lost, as we enter in to the tribulation. Jesus promised the Father would shorten the days, which is great. However, what we need is a stronger conviction. I...

    The Rapture is a conviction that the Holy Spirit, has overcome sin, evil and oppression - that imparts the Word of God within to do something similar

    Hi there, So I am just teasing out what the Rapture means. The idea in theology is that the Rapture is an event, that separates those that have it from those that don't. There is some truth to this. But what is actually happening? My understanding is that the Rapture is the birthing of a...

    God never calls something "finished", while people are still suffering (suffering much?)

    Hi there, So this is a simple lesson, that can make it easier to relate to God and the trials of this life. The lesson is this: God does not call something "finished" while people are still suffering. Now, this probably pricks your ears up, because Jesus said "it is finished" on the cross - my...
