I was meditating on the most recent subject of suffering last night, this especially with regard to the book of Job, and without being specific to certain passages of scripture, I feel led to make a brief statement… Satan is on a leash, meaning; his work is ultimately the work of God Himself. Sure, Satan […]
Overcoming Life
Sitting IN the Throne
As a reminder to the Church of today, I feel moved to say here that the Church IS NOT the Kingdom, in that the Church (those who have been called out of the world and its ways to serve God) is comprised of forgiven sinners, but the Kingdom of God is made up of NEW […]
Cleansing the Heart Floor
For your edification… Of course, self abnegation or self denial is indeed called for in the believer’s life, but it is the Holy Spirit who imparts the ability and the desire to live such a life in the Spirit. In other words, death to the creaturely self-life can in no way be accomplished by man’s […]
Consoling Self
In some recent trials it has been impressed on me that there should be no anxiety while in them, not even a search of soul after a certainty of better things to come. For whatever the present is, it is sufficient to those whose sole treasure is the will and purposes of God. How often […]
Appropriating the Promises
In the past I’ve seen God work miracles where He has brought forth deliverance instantly, but my experience of late is more in line with “the gifts of healing,” which has to do with bearing witness to a Word or Promise from God by faithfully walking step by step on through to the fulfillment of […]
Incorruptible or Immortal?
I know that it’s taught in Christendom that there can be no full overcoming of the fallen nature of man “this side of heaven,” but this is not what the scriptures say. Jesus Himself never said such a thing. So where does this teaching come from? Does it come from the Holy Spirit, or perhaps […]
Birth Pains
This is a reminder that whatever is coming our way, it is for the purpose of bringing forth victorious saints from among the multitude of believers who will not entirely embrace the cross. This all has to do with bringing a remnant of the Church into the first resurrection from the dead, which, as far […]
The Reality Of A Rent Veil
Surely, the Tent of Meeting and Solomon’s Temple both picture for us God’s plan for the redemption of His whole Creation-man, the sections of this tent and temple representing our journey from newly “begotten from above” sinner who is justified by faith, to our manifestation as a son of God. This morning I draw your […]
The Goal
Despite what many Christians today want to believe, this salvation is “the sword of the Lord AND of Gideon,” meaning; it is a cooperative effort between God and man, man gifted with the quickening of his spirit in order to be enjoined with the Spirit (at justification by faith), and then the (co-operative) work starts, […]
Attaining to Life in this Lifetime
The purpose of our redemption, beloved, is not for us to be brought to another place (heaven), but for us to fully LIVE BY ANOTHER LIFE. Unfortunately, we’ve got loads of Christian people out there today who still cling to the lie of the “sweet-by-and-by” by rapture or by physical death, when the truth is […]
