Or to reveal what's going on.

What makes you think I care about sympathy?

Because you have lost your ally who has been silenced, and are looking for others to join in your crusade against me.

I see.

Who is that ally? And I'm sorry you feel so persecuted!

Much love!

Hebrews 5:12-14
Then read Hebrews 6
Those were actually in my morning readings this week. I've been focusing on Hebrews lately. Fantastic Book!

The new way to enter the Holy of Holies, through Jesus' body, amazing! No more of the long process, and only a few, but all can come straight into the holiest place! Incredible! The entire Levitical style of entrance to where God is, set aside. No more about sins and sacrifice, sins and sacrifice, and you STILL couldn't enter, but one man, and once a year.

Now . . . Boldly approach!

Much love!

@David H.

It really seems to me that you've stepped back from your position that we are incomplete in our rebirth, and are awaiting some sort of "spiritual completion", like, "more Holy Spirit", or "more crucified to the flesh", more "dead to sin". And that having been reborn, we, being complete in Christ, are growing into becoming more consistent in living that life.

Is that what you think?

Much love!

There are three types of revival, the personal is first. The assembly follows provided enough have a personal revival, and then there is national revival which is rare.

Revival is a term that invokes a second awakening of those who are alive but languishing and are spiritually dead. My goal is to revive you.

Jeremiah 8:20-22 KJV
20) The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
21) For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt; I am black; astonishment hath taken hold on me.
22) Is there no balm in Gilead; is there no physician there? why then is not the health of the daughter of my people recovered?

I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead.
That is for Jesus to say, not you, and you are not Jesus.

And of course this is painfully obvious in the inaccuracy of your judgments.

This is why we're told to not judge others.

But I don't actually think that's what you are doing, I think it's smokescreen.

JMO!

For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Is it not those inside the church[fn] whom you are to judge? (1 Corinthians 5:12 ESV)
You judge what you do not know, and your jugdment is false, but successful, because it misdirects.

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? ( 1 Corinthians 6:2-3)
