the holy spirit

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...

Hi there, So I have been reading this and that, and discussing whether Churches are hot or cold, and I have come to the conclusion that words themselves can be hot or cold, because they can be few or great. Now how is few or great the same as hot or cold, I hear you ask? In the same sense that...

Hi there, So yes, there is a simple calculation you can make on the basis of the choice the Lord gives the Lukewarm Church (Revelation 2). It goes like this: 1) Are you hot or cold? If yes, then you know you have a greater definition than the Lukewarm Church If no, then the question is 2)...

Hi there, So I have worked out that: I believe what you do! There is no need to reinvent the wheel. Jesus died once for all, and rose from the dead. The Grace of God abounds in the acceptance within, of what Christ did on the cross. There is no need for a new faith. There is no need for a new...

Hi there, So I am just wondering, if Jesus was inspired to make His life a sacrifice, what would He have done, if we hadn't needed saving? I'm not saying we didn't need saving, but was saving in preference to something else? Like would He have dedicated His life to building the Temple? Or would...

Hi there, So there has been some question about the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, from time to time - as people grapple with whether they are beyond forgiveness or not. Some people say "I have blasphemed the Holy Spirit!" but they don't know how or to what extent. Other people give answers like...

Hi there, So this is not about casting the Devil out of our fellow brothers. This is about just acknowledging that we are tempted, to vilify and provoke and distrust our brothers. It hurts us, our conscience, but we still do it - and its time we called the Devil out on it! I say with boldness...

Hi there, So there is a little bit of speculation about who the Two Witnesses were - indeed you are free to ask the Holy Spirit, if you would like - but I thought it might help to just contextualize their ministry a little. The Two Witnesses were witnesses of the Light. There were two angles...

Hi there, So there is a little verse, where Jesus says the Holy Spirit will come to bring all things to remembrance and instruct you in all things. What does this mean? It means that to be ready for the Holy Spirit, we need to be praying for our memories and obedience. If our memories are...

Hi there, So this is a simple proverb, its not meant to be complicated. The question of which soul dies for which, does complicate it - but only in the sense that the soul can die for soul other than itself. For example the soul can die for the soul of a friend. The soul is still the soul, but...

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...

Hi there, This is just a simple thought, that we don't need to reinvent the wheel theologically. Something like the separation of Church and State, does not need to come and go - at different times for different reasons: the separation is final, because the separation is functional. Other...

Hi there! So good news: the Holy Spirit will provide a way out. The anti-Christ's putting to death, will come to an end - he will no longer have that power. God will do a new thing: He will create a song, dance and festival of the faith. Good times will reign. I hope this has been of some...

Hi there, So there is a simple proverb to learn, when it comes to death and the Law: What does this mean? It means that when you do wrong, there is a standard - of the difference between life and death - that ought to be heeded. For when you weigh the Law, it ought to be done with compassion...

Hi there, So for context, I work with a Christian prayer line and someone called in and said "please pray for my husband, who is in aged care with dementia". After a few weeks of praying, the caller reported that "my husband has recovered, from his dementia!". Praise the Lord for miracles...

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...

Hi there, So I can't go into all the details, but I can promise you that something great is going to happen. The Lord is confirming that "in weakness the Strength of God is made perfect". We are going to come out of this time, with even greater fervour for the Lord; those that are worthy will...

Hi there, So just to help you in your walk with Christ, a simple question: what was the spiritual gift you received, when you first believed? If you need to, pray to the Holy Spirit, that He reveal it - that way, you will have it between you and Him! It is bearing fruit with this gift, that...

Hi there, So I began with this era, prophesying that there would be a Great Doubt. The Great Doubt is a period of time, when people fear others with them are their enemies, across the world. It is the Great Doubt that leads in to Armageddon. Once the foundation of Man is doubted, God is...

Peace, I just wanted to make you alert to your standing with Jesus. Jesus said "I could wish that you were hot or cold. But now because you are lukewarm, I will vomit you out of my mouth" (Revelation, from memory). So what is being lukewarm? Being lukewarm is being ambivalent about the command...
