    "Put a *hole* in my flesh, Holy Spirit, and all that my corruption got me, in Jesus' Name Amen" (holding on to sin?)

    Hi there, So I want to pray by example here, that other people who struggle with the flesh might know the way out, that the Holy Spirit gave. I sinned. That's the short of it. But the problem became that I held on to my sin. My flesh was enlarged, by the pleasure and I ceased to know a way out...

    Revelation says there are three things you need to do, about the rule of the flesh over Earth (got life in mind?)

    Hi there, So I don't think of the anti-Christ in terms of his rule over the Earth any more; to me the anti-Christ is synonymous with "flesh" - the "flesh" will rule over the Earth. We don't need to fear the spirit, which is 'anxiety' - any spirit, including the anti-Christ's. To be ready for...

    The weight of sin, breaks the flesh apart! (breaking?)

    Hi there, So I am in a struggle at the moment: I've started to realise all the lovers in my life (from porn, to real life) need to be pointed to God. Confessing the sin, freed me, but then I started to notice something else: my flesh began splitting open! It's not an external thing, yet, but...

    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...

    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...

    "The world, the flesh and the Devil" should be "the world, the Devil and the flesh"? (priorities?)

    Hi there, So this is a slightly misleading Christianese saying "there are three things you need to be on watch for: the world, the flesh and the Devil". I say misleading, because it suggests that the Devil is the least formidable challenge and a close relationship between the flesh and the...

    Destroy the old world! Establish the new, with the words of Jesus! (daring?)

    Hi there, So basically, we need to be proclaiming. "Proclaiming what?" you ask. Proclaiming the old world dead, proclaiming the new world, alive in Jesus! The Holy Spirit will speak up for us, as long as we are proclaiming God's Word. Jesus escaped the old world, and without Him it can do...

    The Devil is trying to choke my faith; the Devil says "you're not allowed to believe, unless you have from the start" (its making me mad!)

    Hi there, So I have been through the whole back sliding thing and come to the conclusion that I both need a second wind and greater grace from God - and this is where the Devil hits me: the Devil says "no, you have become backsliding, there is no more hope for you" and "no God does not want to...

    What is that which defiles a person?

  12. MatthewG

    God through Christ has reconciled the world unto Himself.

    Did you know that God has reconciled everything back to himself in and through Christ? With the victory of Christ today, and the payment of sin, and doing away of sin, satan, death, hades, the false prophet, the beast, and also doing away of material religion with coming back and having...

    You can not be my disciples, unless? (The Cost)

    Luke 14:25-35 The Cost of Being a Disciple With a large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them, Jesus always talked in Parables when others came around that were not his chosen apostles. They were allowed to know about what Jesus spoke about, however be it crowds or anyone...

    Is this world your home?

    Hello to you and welcome, These will be hard sayings. Human beings in general can do great and wonderful things. They can have plenty of money, they can have jobs, they can have friends, they can even do good to their neighbors, they can be leaders, they can be in congress, they can be great...

    It slowly dawns on Mankind, that the flesh profits nothing, and more than that: the place (in Heaven) for the flesh cannot retain it (expectations?)

    Hi there, So I write these things, as much for my own clarity, as anything else. This time, I am addressing the expectations that Mankind has of the Lord. What are these expectations? Well, they are basically that the flesh of Mankind keep living. In other words, not only do men not want to...

    There is more complete at the Cross, than works of the Law can finish (interested?)

    Hi there, So a simple thought (as I am learning to keep my thoughts!): there is more complete at the Cross, than the Law can finish. What does this mean? It means that the more you approach the Cross, the more you will discover that there is no end to the opportunities you can find, to act on...

    As blood separated from water (at the Cross), so the Holy Spirit will be separated from anti-Christ (at the end of the world) - (ready?)

    Hi there, So there is a very difficult thing, at the Cross: seeing the Cross as a prophecy, of the power of the Holy Spirit to come. But in a sense, all things are prophetic, of things like them to come. The point is, that we clearly see a separation, between blood and water - in Christ, on the...

    Someone who is a slave to sin, has a limited time to flex their strength (convicted?)

    Hi there, So it occurs to me that there is a link between being a slave to sin and the pressure we feel to act, under the influence of sin. Basically we become slave to sin, hoping to gain the strength of God without God. In doing so, we discover that we do get some strength, and we can see it...

    Prayer concerning the death of the flesh (the flesh is divided, between the rapture and the tribulation)

    Hi there! So I have lately come to be very vexed by the falling away of dead flesh (in the world). The world has moved away from God and its flesh has started to die, and we need someone like the Holy Spirit to stand in the breach, in some way. I am not sure what such a person would have to do...
