faith

Reader, You can't stop being born again, as this is an eternal spiritual birth, that is God caused and God maintained. So... One of the first things a real student of the word comes to understand is....(regarding the New Covenant)... 1.) = "where there is no LAW, there is no Transgression"...

Hi there, So those of you who are mature will love this. It's about a relationship with Jesus, that you can actually test. Getting feedback on faith (anything really) is really important to getting it right; so knowing that you can trust Jesus for feedback should really help you. What I did...

Excellent 'link' = What Is Grace? (Two Minutes With The Bible) Precious friends, the following is just a small portion of God's Wonderful Grace Doctrine: A) Generally, across all of God's Dispensations, we find: God's "Unmerited Favor" Upon All mankind, both the just and also the unjust...

Have you ever thought of what is the most important expression once one comes to faith? Is it, our intelligence? Is it, our every single correct doctrine? Is it, our feelings? Is it, our thoughts? “For when we place our faith in Christ Jesus, there is no benefit in being circumcised or being...

Hi there, So you had it, you chose to believe and you threw everything in; it was easy, it was light and you loved it. Then trials and tribulations came along and you started to doubt. Doubt turned to complacency (a lesser evil) and complacency to a deadness in your spirit. Then you quit. It...

Hi there, So I guess this falls under the category of "ask and you shall receive", and since I don't know what I am going to receive, it is also a matter of faith. The essential point is that I understand what it means to love someone, but when it comes to loving the brethren I have never asked...

Hi there, So there is something in common, between God and Man: both of them respond favourably to gratitude. I'm not exactly sure what the effect is called, but it has been established that flattery works, even when you know you are being flattered. In this sense, God is great at taking a...

Hi there, So I just wanted to speak a little about being free in the Spirit. The scope of the Spirit's freedom is in the scriptures. It is good to search the scriptures, for this reason. However, it is easy to fall in to the trap of thinking, that specific verses are there "just for you". How...

Hi there, So there is a simple fact that I think a lot of us overlook: you are rewarded more for saying "faith without works is dead" than you are for saying "we are under Grace". What is the difference? The difference is maturity. More people realise that their faith requires something of...

Hi there, So it dawned on me recently that what you say is neither here nor there: but what saves! Jesus Himself said "chasing after Me to be the Christ, is nothing to Me" (paraphrase gospels, from memory) that is "when they say 'here is the Christ' or 'the Christ is there', do not go after...

I would really appreciate some prayer about meeting my husband. Abut 6 years ago I was having a crisis of finding affordable housing it took months of constant searching and stress then finally one day I just had enough and I went on different forums and groups and basically did a couple rants...

Hi there, So from the title of this thread, you should already be able to work out that they purpose in Heaven is to empower. The joy you get from serving the Lord, is from serving, and while waiting on the Lord serves, the Lord is not always there. If the Lord is not there, you need to be...

Hi there, So I wanted to talk a little briefly about faith and the past. The thing we know about faith, is that it is incredibly, incredibly strong. If I have faith, I can move a mountain, as Jesus said. On the other hand, we learn that God can harden the heart of people without faith. Take...

Hi there, So there are a few ways of interpreting how I identify with Christ. On the one hand, I identify "divisionally" with other divisions of Christ - "divi" being short for division. On the other hand, I identify this division of Christ as divine - "divi" for divine - that is, sharing in...

Hi there, So there are times when God's prevention is obvious: the people of Noah's day, Sodom and Gomorrah, Achan. But a lot of times God's prevention is a lot more subtle: if you had got on that plane you'd be dead, Joseph fed his family during famine, if you hadn't been schizophrenic you...

- There are hobbies that are related to collecting. And there are hobbies that are related to creating. Both can be an obsession, and everyone has an obsession, or a few. What i can tell you, is that the "creative instinct" is innate in us all, as it came from the Original Artist of All...

Reader, Salvation, takes just as long as God needs to cause you to be BORN AGAIN. As being BORN AGAIN, is the ONLY proof..... that you, me, us... = have received God's Salvation. Q.) What does God have to do, to make your Salvation happen? 1.) He has to accept your Faith in Christ. 2.) He...

- Here is how to teach it , Reader. "tho shalt not TAKE the Lord's Name, in Vain". What is that? How do you do that? Its this.... A.) You fake being a Christian. Explain.... Its like this.. Becoming a CHRISTian, is a Birth in the Spirit and a eternal marriage regarding the Lamb of God...

Hi there, So I just wanted to set out a doctrinal issue, that some of you may have thought about and others not. Basically, I don't have the faith that Christians have. I am not saying their faith is wrong, I am saying "their faith is a greater expression, of God, than anything I have". I have...

Hi there, So Jesus said "no-one plunders the strong man's things, when he is at peace in his house; but first you must bind the strongman and then you can plunder his things" (gospels, from memory). The question is: when do you do this? In one sense, you do this when you come to faith. You...
