    When we add our faith, to the Lord's faith, we don't just get the same faith, we get so *much* more!

    Hi there! I like to think of Paul's faith in the Letters to the Churches, as reflective of the growing faith the Churches have in the Lord. It is not that we come to faith and hold fast to the Lord, and that is all; rather, we come to faith and a bond is formed between His faith and ours. This...

    Praise God! God loved us, before He created us; then once He created us, He made His love constant - power to God!

    Hi there, So yes: God loved us before He created us - loved every detail! He foresaw it all, the good times, the bad, the sin, the repentance and He loved us! Once God created us, He made His Love constant - waited for us to seek Him, to inquire of what He had done! He rejoiced to be tested...

    The way out (of trial), continues to be through scripture! (overjoyed?)

    Hi there, So I have struggled for a long time, with poisonous thoughts. When I was in my teens, I got caught up with Satanic music and I said something I shouldn't have, in a state of unconsciousness (while listening to that music). It woke me up (that I said this thing), and it plagued me ever...

    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...

    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]...

    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...

    God creates and God destroys, but God also notices! (standing out?)

    Hi there, So I wanted to post this thread about God noticing, because it is a short step from "noticing" to asking God about what He notices. In other words, trusting God to notice, leads to a relationship with God. The thing that makes this hard, is that we sin and we stop wanting God to...

    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...

    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...

    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...
  11. How To Stand In The Authority Of Jesus And Wield The Sword Of The Spirit

    How To Stand In The Authority Of Jesus And Wield The Sword Of The Spirit

    My Personal Encounter And Revelation From Jesus Many years ago, as a new congregant, I was attending a Baptist church. At the time, I had problems with understanding things that did not make much sense. I grew up seeing the unseen (spiritual realm) and clashed with many demonic entities but had...

    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...

    The Gospel will be quickened and re-scattered (eyes on the future?)

    Ok right, So this is a very simple observation about how the Gospel is able to be more expertly interpreted, more faithfully delivered. What I am hoping for here, is that you will open your mind up to the idea that there is a true way for the Gospel to be received, that differs for almost...

    Jesus said "you will give account of every idle word, in the day of Judgment" - sometimes all you can do is question what you've said (questioning?)

    Hi there, Ok, so I had a personal experience where I said something - if you can call it me speaking (I didn't know what I was saying) - and it gave the Devil the upper hand in my life. I tried for years to get rid of him, put him and what I had said out of my mind, and it didn't work (not...

    I am struggling with the notion of pre-destination - can flesh be predestined? (strong?)

    Hi there, So this is a doctrine of Jim Brown of Grace and Truth Ministries: that the believer is predestined to do good and go to Heaven. I haven't dug deeper than that, and already it is causing me problems (perhaps that I have not studied more deeply is part of the problem!). My problem is...

    Were the Apostles, words in the flesh - because the Word in Flesh dwelt in them? (full?)

    Hi there, So just to broaden the horizon of theology a little, let us consider the Apostles. Were the Apostles, words in the flesh - because the Word in the Flesh dwelt in them? This seems to echo the thoughts that "scripture has said 'ye are gods'" and "they will all be taught by God". In...

    Nothing proves there is a God, only that certain things that are among things here are *for* God (peace?)

    Hi there, So basically the best you can prove, is that the overwhelming set of things that know God, are for God. God's proof is a converted life. We don't need to do more than that (believe in God). The Devil will object, that we don't know God like we should or that we are not enough "for"...

    I'm sorry I hated you (Church), the cares of this life choked me (forgiving?)

    Hi there, So I will keep it brief, so as not to weary you: my family went through a very trying time, all sorts of things, financially also and I began to rebel against the faith. I didn't know how to keep myself clean and fed my soul with anti-Christian music. It reached the point where I...

    Oppression comes, from distorting the Gospel (twisted?)

    Hi there, So it is a simple thought: the Gospel points to the Gospel, that's the Gospel (selah). But how does it play out? In reality there are many attempts at pointing to the Gospel, but only so many succeed. The rest become distortions of the Gospel, that twist and divert from the Gospel's...

    The soul of the Holy Spirit lived in Jesus' flesh (Word?)

    Hi there, So I am not sure where to take this belief, but the Holy Spirit has come to reveal to me, that His soul dwelt in the flesh of Christ. When Jesus died on the Cross and was speared, blood and water coming out of His side, was a sign that the Holy Spirit's soul was leaving His body. This...
