    Reading the parable of the Sower, as a parable about the Holy Spirit (open?)

    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...

    Don't replace a plank, with a greater plank! (plank?)

    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...

    "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...

    If everything was used properly, would there be any suffering? (because?)

    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...

    I asked Jesus to critique my faith - He said "you take too long to rebuke the Devil" (no kidding!)

    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...

    Could the world have hallucinated that the Christ was here on Earth, and had hope in the resurrection in the end? (suffering?)

    Hi there, So this is not meant as a criticism of the faith; I am not saying the world actually hallucinated Christ. The real benefit of this question, is when it comes to our own faith: how deep is it? do we know the difference between suffering in Heaven and suffering on Earth? For example...

    We are all His Children! The Lord fathers all of us!

    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...

    More about : Understanding God's "GIFT" of Salvation

    Reader, No matter the sin.........Jesus on The Cross has become this.. for the BELIEVER.. = Born Again. 1.) "God hath made Jesus.. to BE SIN....for us".. 2.) "Jesus is the ONE TIME.... ETERNAL.......SACRIFICE...for sin". This means that all sin for all time is dealt with, by JESUS's...

    Oppression comes, from distorting the Gospel (twisted?)

    Hi there, So it is a simple thought: the Gospel points to the Gospel, that's the Gospel (selah). But how does it play out? In reality there are many attempts at pointing to the Gospel, but only so many succeed. The rest become distortions of the Gospel, that twist and divert from the Gospel's...

    It matters to God, whether He creates consciously or unconsciously (choosing?)

    Hi there, So I have had a little of an awakening, actually. Not only have I come to the conclusion that you can't save yourself, unless you have first obeyed; but I have come to the realisation, that the state you are in when you commit your obedience to God, matters to God. Let me explain what...

    Newbies! You've got to learn to "back yourself" - there are decisions you would never make, if you had the right faith!

    Hi there, So in a few short words, I grew up in a wealthy family, in a wealthy area, going to a wealthy Church. Then the Devil snatched it all away and I made some very poor life choices. Then I came back to the faith and started to pick up the pieces. That's the short of it. But this is what I...

    Now you have two forms of knowledge: that you know and that Christ knows you (torn?)

    Hi there, So there is a dynamic in the life of Earth dwellers that wasn't there before: concerning knowledge. Originally, the knowledge of good and evil, was knowledge of the one - destroyed by sin, but always being knowledge of the one. Then Christ lay His Life down, destroyed by sin, but...

    You are rewarded more for saying "faith without works is dead" than you are for saying "we are under Grace" (able?)

    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...

    MYSTERY conceals the cross (invisible?)

    Hi there, So just thinking on spiritual things, for a little while, I learned something about Babylon (MYSTERY) that I want to share. Now God at some point says "come out of her, lest you share in her sins" but what is it that Babylon "sins"? The answer simply is: she conceals the cross. Why...

    "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...

    What is happening to the "darkness" that came over the world in about 2010? It seems to be weakening?

    Hi there, So I know I'm not imagining it, because there was an illustration of it in the newspaper - the whole world went into a period of darkness, around 2010 (I vaguely remember) and it just seemed to stay with people on Earth for years. I know people of other times have experienced darkness...

    We've got this! We should start praying "Thankyou Father, that Your Son's Gospel has gone out to *all* the nations of the world - we say by faith!"

    Hi there, So yes, this just occurred to me now: we should be praying "Thankyou Father, that Your Son's Gospel has gone out to all the nations of the Earth - we say by faith in His Name". By doing this, we enter into the labor that is required and fix our sight on the goal - this will make us...

    You use your Heavenly body to work; if you don't work, you fall to Earth - not that falling to Earth doesn't give you rest, but it doesn't empower you

    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...

    The world cycles through happy times and sad times, is this spitting in the wind? (Solomon?)

    Hi there, So, just like El Nino and La Nina, there is a pattern of behaviour throughout the world. This pattern, at its peak is greatly shared happiness and at its trough is privately withheld sadness. This is our humanity. The same is true of our relationship with the Lord: sometimes we are...

    1.) Blood Washed, and then... : 2.) Spiritually Renewed..= Born again.

    Reader, The word of God, is more than a book. Its spiritual, its living, and its REVELATION. Its Light for Life. Its "Milk" its "Prophecy"... "Its a lamp and a light"... and it has the ability to read your mind and separate soul and spirit. Now, when we see this..>"W.ord" of God.. so that...
