    Obedience, what is all the fuss about?

    I am not sure which is worse, The conscious or the unconscious. One of the things that I see in it is that sin and the effects of sin spread like a disease. The result is the fallen world in which we live. It permeates almost everything. Humanly speaking , it would be an impossible situation to fix.

    Obedience, what is all the fuss about?

    :) This is a tremendous understatement. Very , very true. I have seen this rarely. It is not pleasant. Most of the time I see honest pastors who try their best but sometimes bring their own issues into it without meaning to. This is also very , very true. Some Christians can...

    Fighting sin (Deliverance)

    Fasting is a biblical means to humble ourselves. It says we need God more than food. But it is only temporary unless we live out a lifestyle of constant humility. Not meaning constant fasting because that is impossible. But a humility of depending upon God more than anything else. That is what I...

    Fighting sin (Deliverance)

    Fasting can help for a season , but it is incomplete in and of itself. I have found the Theology that is found in Romans has been the best help to me when applied. As long as my focus is upon myself , I will never win. But when Christ lives through me , I can do all things. My focus...

    I've been baptized in the Holy Spirit for some time now, but still no tongues?

    I don't think we should force these things. It takes Holy Spirit unction, some might call it a Rhema word. without the Holy Spirit bearing witness to us , then how would we know ? I think that God would rather we keep our integrity in saying that we do not know until such a time when the...

    Could the Government keep Chrisitan companies from mentioning Jesus

    It really sobered me on the subject when I saw lawsuit in Canada where a pastor was sued for posting Scripture in an ad in the newspaper. All he posted was the scripture passages dealing with a specific subject. No commentary whatsoever. It was after a gay pride event in his city and he took out...

    Obedience, what is all the fuss about?

    Psychological projection - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Even though this projection thing is psychology , I think that it is true and I also think that there is Scripture to back it up. The modern English version... I think that this verse sounds very similar to the Psychological...

    Is being called lukewarm an insult?

    This occurs to me also. This reminds me of a sermon that I heard a pastor preach. He said that the turning point in his life was when God challenged him to submit to correction. This was one of the most difficult things which God could have asked him to do. Because his natural bent was to...

    Could the Government keep Chrisitan companies from mentioning Jesus

    Is the Pentecostal Baptism in the Spirit becoming an obscure doctrine?

    One of the things that Cain Ridge and Azusa had in common is that it was not about a denomination or culture. https://www.christianhistoryinstitute.org/magazine/article/revival-at-cane-ridge/ They say that the spirit of conviction was so heavy upon the meetings that literally...

    Is the Pentecostal Baptism in the Spirit becoming an obscure doctrine?

    Back in the late 1800's , there was a saying amongst the American church. The saying was this , " we need another Cain Ridge ". When Azusa Street came , it was into this environment where a revival was long overdue. What has happened in the AOG is that there have been three generations now...

    Is being called lukewarm an insult?

    Also , this line of thought where church leaders and Christians are doing people wrong through projecting their own sins or calling people names or whatever. One must rememebr that God who is perfect engages in all of these activities and so there must be a time and a place and a way to do it...

    Is being called lukewarm an insult?

    I think the whole thing sounds childish. Christians calling each other names. Maybe those who experience this sort of thing on a regular basis should find a new set of people to hang around with. If someone calls me a name on a regular basis , I find a new person to fellowship with. On...

    Obedience, what is all the fuss about?

    We place our faith in God. We walk in the light that we have. God sees the heart. It is faith in Him that God is after , not perfect understanding of all things. We set our hearts to believe God and then walk in the light that we have. God is the author and finisher of our faith. He looks at the...

    Obedience, what is all the fuss about?

    This is why it is important to have correct doctrine. Which is why it is important to study His word and also to have a relationship with him. Because how can we agree with God if we are unsure of what God's truth is. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. And , yes. I do...

    The Golden Menorah

    Yes. The number seven is an interesting pattern in Scripture. It starts right in Genesis Chapter One. Clearly God intentionally presents the number seven over and over again. I tend to believe what the Jewish mystics teach which is that there were seven earths of seven thousand years each...

    Thank you. You made my day with your answer. You have my interest. I see that I underestimated the depth of your previous comment. :) I do agree with your assessment that confess ( homologeo ) does mean to say the same thing. Homologeo , the combination of homo and logos together. homo...

    I've been baptized in the Holy Spirit for some time now, but still no tongues?

    This is the way that I see it also. of course the ultimate fulfillment of these three feasts is seen when Jesus comes back. We don't get it in it's fullness until then. But we can have a whole lot more int eh here and now than most people are experiencing. I think King David is a good...
