    God is quick, but can He do something, for a long time? (patient?)

    Hi there, So this is a simple thought experiment: God can be quick, but can He do something for a long time? Now, there is quickening in the Holy Spirit, that's true. You can suddenly find you have an ability to do something well, when previously you found it difficult. However, that...

    Good Health in God

    I believe as we serve the sovereign God, he will fulfill his promises until us through our faith! 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people,who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin...

    Does " Blotting out" a name not mean any acts of righteousness associated with, are not also removed from the records of God?

    From the discussions on another's thread: The word indicates that a wicked person's name is "blotted out" (Ex. 32:33; Deut. 25:19; 29:20; Ps. 69:28) of the Book of Life and therefore it is a record of everyone who ever lived, and expresses that those who love the darkness and do not love the...

    How far must we go..........

    This is a lifelong journey if one wants to be with God in his heavenly estate. We start at salvation, the very principle of Christ ; our forgiveness. However this is not where we stop. If all we have is this only, then to remain a babe on the milk of the word of God does a disservice to the...

    "Almost thou persuadest me.....

    ......to become a Christian". When Paul stood before Agrippa to testify of the charges brought against him of insurrection because he preached the freedom of the gospel. Agrippa made this statement ALMOST.....thou persuadest me..... Acts 26 Let's look at what persuasion is. To persuade is to...

    Jude1; Contending for the faith:

    Contend: 1. struggle to surmount (a difficulty or danger). 2. assert something as a position in an argument. The word contend means to agonize. Agony of spirit and love for the Gospel should be in the heart of every believer. Contending means to fight while standing on the very thing being...

    If you keep the faith, throughout life - you will have a chance to restore, that which sin would have destroyed (had you not believed) (expecting?)

    Hi there, So post coming to the realisation that even having fallen away from the faith, I still had an opportunity to get a second wind (renewed faith), I started to wonder what it would have been like, if I had never fallen away. What I learned from the Holy Spirit, was that even if I had not...

    Unless you are preaching "inspiration and peace" you are wasting the mature believer's time (still amazed?)

    Hi there, So there is a very simple fact that needs to be addressed: there is a gospel, that progresses beyond "saved by Grace". Being saved by Grace is still foundational, but it is not exclusive. In other words, there is a time for being saved by Grace, but there is also a time for dying to...

    The Devil makes himself an angel of light, he also gives false emotion and erroneous instruction (on guard?)

    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...

    Primitive Godliness: We Could Learn A Lot From These Folks

    This is absolutely amazing. These people are experiencing John 10:10 to the fullest. It's their attitude much more than their actual lifestyle. I'm definitely going to have to watch it again and take notes.

    A moment in time with Jesus and the Pharisees, and those surrounding him (Parable defenses)

    John 8:13-36 Jesus Defends His Self-Witness 13 The Pharisees therefore said to Him, “You bear witness of Yourself; Your witness is not true.” 14 Jesus answered and said to them, “Even if I bear witness of Myself, My witness is true, for I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do...

    People say you can not lose faith, God can't lose you, is that true?

    Hello to you and welcome, What does the bible say about? You can quote any passage you want to prove your point. There are people who believe God chooses you and that is it. Nothing you ever even did to choose. What are your thoughts about that? Did you choose to accept God as a reality in...

    You're going to be there, thankyou sincerely (peace?)

    Hi there! So it has dawned on me that, the tribulation I face, will not be forever. Rather, it will be for a time. What is significant about that (time) is that, it does not apply to everyone. From this, it has been revealed to me, that there are some believers with me, who will outlive me. I...

    Prayer Warriors

    This will be my final request of your prayers. Pray that my loved ones are brought to the realization of our beloved saviour, Jesus, the Son of God, the Christ! I feel as though my time will soon come to be.... 2 Corinthians 5:8 KJV we are confident, I say, and willing rather to be  absent...

    Hope for backsliders! Your faith can get a second wind! (charging?)

    Hi there, So I have languished for a long, long time that I departed from the faith, as a teen - having had a reborn experience when I was even younger. I would always scour the skies so to speak, looking for the inspiration that would bring my faith back to life. Again and again I would come...

    You may preach Grace, but Greater Grace is about Greatest Inspiration (can you lead?)

    Hi there, So this is something that has been bubbling up in me for some time: the idea that Salvation is not of works, because it is of Grace, is well understood. What is happening though, is that that understanding can lead to choking the inspiration that is trying to ignite under the blaze of...

    If you are a believer like me, that means you are evaluating what every other believer says "from a position of godliness" (marriage?)

    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...

    I really feel like God is holding me under the waves, to escape the (dragon's) fire - please pray I have enough oxygen to still serve the Lord (!)

    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...

    I am stronger, the more I search for the Lord (you also?)

    Hi there, So, I have had it dawn upon me, that I am stronger, when I search for the Lord. It's just a simple fact. I'm not sure how it works, or why - but I know it works. There is something about Him, that is pure, even in the Holy Spirit. I think it must be that the Holy Spirit is now in Him...
