Inner Chaos and the Life of Prayer
“By yourself you are chaos. Do you fully realize this? Do you try to keep it in mind?
Have you humbled yourself today in thought or deed? Not to cause you distress nor diminish your strength,
but to tighten your hold on the power of your God, who is only...
“Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written,
‘For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.’
“No, in all these things we are...
It pays to remember that in the beginning Christianity was not an institution of religion but a movement of humans which grew beyond the borders of the Hebrew people. It was never meant to become a government or a ruling organisation, but a movement of easily manageable home groups or local...
“For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us.” (Romans 8:18 ESV)
“Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with...
“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your...
Two different covenants, the dividing line is Jesus death & resurrection.
Matt 15:24 24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
(PARSING: Jesus Himself say's: He was sent (ONLY) to the lost sheep of the house of Israel)
Rom 15:8 Now I say that...
“There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh...
“For while we were still weak, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die— but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since, therefore, we...
Being Childlike Before God
““You’re not very sure of this, are you? There is always this distance that you put between God and His children, whereas I try to remove all distance. Oh, My beloved friends, come to Me more simply. I always make the comparison of the little child who throws her two...
In Romans 1 Paul commended all in Rome who were loved by God and called to be saints, because of their faith which was being proclaimed in all the world. But then he mentioned that he was under obligation both to Greeks and to barbarians, both to the wise and to the foolish to preach the gospel...
“First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world. For God is my witness, whom I serve with my spirit in the gospel of his Son, that without ceasing I mention you always in my prayers, asking that somehow by God's will I may now at last...
“Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, which he promised beforehand through his prophets in the holy Scriptures, concerning his Son, who was descended from David according to the flesh and was declared to be the Son of God in power according...
Unfortunately, people saying woe is us have been looking forward to salvation for 2000 years. Times in the past have been a lot worse than they are now although living condition wise, people in the past had a lot less to lose. But perhaps the idea is to not look forward for salvation all the...
All felt fatigued enough that they fell asleep very quickly after stopping at that tree, and none awoke until a little before the sun was going down. No animals other than the small pollinators had been seen around this country yet. Those waking up first awoke the others, and then wood for...
Are you presently struggling with sin? What I mean is, not are you are being tempted, but are you giving in to the flesh thinking that sin or Satan has power over you and that you don't have the ability to say "NO!" to sin?
In the book of Romans, chapter 7, Paul described for us the struggle...
“I was given a reed like a measuring rod and was told, ‘Go and measure the temple of God and the altar, with its worshipers. But exclude the outer court; do not measure it, because it has been given to the Gentiles. They will trample on the holy city for months. And I will appoint my two...
Consider throughout the post Flood era that God had His own chosen people while the rebellious elohim had all the rest of mankind in this world. A world that originally we were cast into from the Garden. A world of adversarial elohim and now adversarial man. A world where God continued to...
“Oh sing to the Lord a new song;
sing to the Lord, all the earth!
Sing to the Lord, bless his name;
tell of his salvation from day to day.
Declare his glory among the nations,
his marvelous works among all the peoples!
For great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
he is to be...
