    That, dear brother, is a testimony to shout from the housetops, and I rejoice with you. Blessings, Gids

    Michael, you are absolutely correct. Faith, real faith that actually can unlock the lock to our putting on and walking in our new nature, is simply impossible until we are fully surrendered. The devil has tricked us, and convinced us that full surrender smacks of ascetism, legalism, misery and...

    Would you share a bit as to what that means to you? Thanks and be blessed, Gideon

    Michael, perhaps you have misunderstood what I am sharing. My call is not for us to do better, try harder, be more vigilant in our own strength. My call is to take what we say we believe and wield it as a weapon against the fiery arrows of the enemy when he attacks us. The salvation God has...

    Why does God want us to try walk as He has shown us in the Bible? Why are there scriptures that exhort us to strive against sin in our lives if we will fail? If He knows it is destined to end in our failure, why would He do such a thing, exhort us to try with all our might? There is a very good...

    May our God lead us all deeper into Him. It is amazing to me that David had this intense longing for God, a true love affair, while he served Him in the old covenant! He saw God's goodness even in the law. How is it that we, the benefactors of the greatest sacrifice known throughout history...

    Only too well, brother. It is not pleasant at times, but in the fullness of time, they that sow in tears WILL reap in joy. Now, when we are finally convinced that He meant this overcoming victory and joy for THIS life, we will be prepared to receive, by faith, what He has promised us. Armor and...

    Hi Michael, my good friend. Indeed, that seems to be the case. But in these last days, it seems for some who have staunchly refused to believe that God can do such a miracle, even in their contentment with a God who can forgive but do nothing more for us because we are always going to sin, it...

    It is coming. The standard God has set for us was meant for us to try to achieve.... and yet fail. It seems we are right where He wants us, LOL. To some, that is depressing, but He does so, bring us to a new desperation and level of hunger only that we can look away from us and look to Him as...

    And there is the hidden bridge we have all up till now missed, Jim. That is what I hoped this post would illicit. Intense desire frustrated by our ultimate inability to follow through, no matter how much we try. Jim, I have always loved your heart. The desire to please God has always shown...

    I am confused. Bear with me as I share a bit about the cause of the confusion. Holiness is a big deal in the new testament, right? The vast majority of the New Testament is basically an instruction manual and compass for personal holiness and purity. God calls us to be holy, fully His, fully...

    Yielding ourselves to God is important, but how we do so is critical as well...

    I am certainly pleased that what I share encourages a few, for that is my intent, and that alone. It seems that many read my words and hear condemnation and judgment, not a higher level of what grace promises to do for us. I wish for all to know that what God is offering us all is so far beyond...

    Yielding ourselves to God is important, but how we do so is critical as well...

    So maybe for many, the right question is not "Am I yielding myself to God as one alive from the dead?" but rather is "Am I even yielding myself to God at all?" Our modern take on the gospel is great at excusing lack of surrender because it seems "legalistic", but seldom do we get to the root of...

    Guys, the missing key that has been hidden from our eyes is the truth that once we have become Christians,, the old "us", the one who cannot help but sin, has died. BUT.... there is a part we have to play in the transformation that God has promised us. It is not works, or trying harder, that is...

    Yielding ourselves to God is important, but how we do so is critical as well...

    Yes, Mike, I believe this is the great deception coming to us in these last days. Since we have been taught that holiness is really an impossibility, that we will always sin, we have dismissed any call for our walking as real living sacrifices as unobtainable so we reason "Why try?" Thus we...

    The Bible plainly teaches us that we are not our own.... we are His. He is our owner, having purchased us with His own blood. How far our present day Christianity has lost this concept. When Jesus met Paul, then Saul, on the road to Damascus, this point was made perfectly clear, so much so that...
