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...

Hi there, So this might open up your thinking about the Holy Spirit: the parable of the Sower, can be interpreted as being about the Holy Spirit. We typically think that the Word of God can be about anything, that there are some who receive it and some who don't. But strictly speaking, the...

Hi there, So I just had this really simple thought and for my own sake if no-one else's, I thought would just meditate on it for a moment. The thought is this: Jesus said "don't try to take the speck out of your brother's eye, when look! A plank is in your own eye" (Gospels, from memory); now...

Hi there, So I just wanted to share a simple thought: learning how the new body works, is a "thing". As a "thing" we can either do it well, or not. What governs how well we do it, is how well we develop in relation to our "new" faith, on Earth. If we neglect faith on Earth, how will we be...

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...

Hi there, So just to give you something, that will help you relate to Christ: Jesus was the One with the greatest will to live, compared to any Man. It was through this will to live, that He learned to heal and deliver. There was mastery in this, in the end, for He lived so effectively for God...

Hi there, I just wanted to point something very special: Jesus might never have come to Earth, if there was no nation on Earth strong enough for Him to be revealed in them. If Israel was weak and did not revere God in strength, there might have been no way for the Lord to come. This is not to...

Hi there, So I am just expanding on the idea that "to him who hears, more will be given" (from Mark, from memory). How do we make sure that we are listening as much as possible? The answer is in part, to meditate on how it is that we listen. There are three main types of listening: with the...

Hi there, So I have struggled for a long time, with the mystery of television. It has always seemed to me very strange, that people acting in a scene are thought to be doing it best, when they believe it themselves. It is a mystery is it not? Ought we not think 'oh! that's how they wanted to...

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...

Hi there, So there are three elements in the thread title: running out of pressure, losing control of mutations, and struggling with the Devil. The issue of running out of pressure, is the hardest one - you have to take stock of all that mankind has been able to do, and weigh that against the...

Hi there, So there is a simple concept you can grasp, when it comes to suffering, which points out what the power of suffering is: In other words, it's not the fire that is the problem, but the combination of the creation of fire, with the vulnerability of the flesh. But this leads to a further...

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...

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...

Hi there, So you would have to have been deaf to the world, not to have heard the phrase "we are saved by Grace, not of works" among Christian circles. However, I want to challenge that. For a long time, I have believed that "a mature Christian, makes work a priority", which is not to say that...

Hi there, So I have been taking a Chromium supplement for a couple of years now and my internal integrity is just so much better! It started when I found out that an addiction to sugar, is sometimes caused by a Chromium deficiency. There is some process in the body that responds to a sugar high...

Hi there, So I have been having this battle with the internet for a little while now. It started when I was asking about someone with dementia being prayed for and the internet threw up ads for a cure for dementia. Later it was hermit crabs, when my Mother bought some hermit crabs. All kinds of...

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...

Hi there, So yes I was born with schizophrenia, which manifested in my late teens and became a struggle into my twenties, and then was in the background of my thinking into my forties. I finally reached a point at about 45 where I felt I could put schizophrenia behind me and God restrained me...

Hi there, The great thing for me, today, is to realise that God is Father to us all. Whether mature or fledgling, strong or weak, God is Father to us all. The childish have a language, that God loves and understands - it is a blessing to have my childish needs understood by God! How do we...
