“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.” (1 Thessalonians 5:23) Paul prayed for the saints at Thessalonica that they would be wholly sanctified; their whole spirit, soul, and body preserved blameless at […]
Overcoming Life
What Is Eternal Life?
Jesus said, “… and this is eternal life: to know (to perceive, recognize, become acquainted with, and understand) You (Father), the only true and real God, and [likewise] to know Him, Jesus [as the] Christ (the Anointed One, the Messiah), Whom You have sent.” (John 17:3 AMP). Beloved, throughout the New Testament the Greek words […]
Ruling from Zion
Sister Elena has pointed out recently that there is something specific about “the 144,000” which relates to “sons.” I agree. Elena said, “You can also think of 12 as being the number of sonship in that Jacob had 12 sons and so did Jesus. Viewed this way, we can see that the number 144,000 is […]
New Jerusalem – Now!
Most of us should now realize that the human spirit inhabits the human being at conception and departs the physical body at the point of death. We probably would all agree that for all humans the length between the points of conception and physical death is determined by our Father. With regard to the departure […]
RISE UP! – Through the Dirt …
I can’t help but think this morning of the time when the Lord told me that He wanted me to live as one who is prostrate on the ground with his mouth in the dirt. This is because it will be those who are lower than the dust of the earth who shall survive the […]
If (our co-operation)
Beloved, as you probably know, the victorious saints (or “overcomers”) are they who shall INHERIT the Kingdom that has been prepared for them from the creation of the world, and this to bring justice, deliverance, guidance, blessing, eternal life, and the Presence of God to the nations. We should also be aware, beloved, that before […]
Show His Face
Yesterday I mentioned in a brief testimony that I “see the Face of God” when reaching out to hurting people. With regard to this, a sister wrote in and asked if I see a “literal face,” or if I was using figurative language. She said that she wonders what He looks like. I wrote back […]
Pleasing To Papa
I feel to mention just briefly here something about SPIRIT DIRECTED and SPIRIT EMPOWERED works, those things that accompany us along the path that leads to the full salvation of our souls… We all should know that we can’t add anything to the work that was accomplished for us at Calvary, but as Christ’s disciples […]
More On Soul and Spirit
In response to a sister’s question about the state of the dead, I shared this – “There is a spirit mind (consciousness) that lives on, Mary. The soulish mind sleeps along with the physical body until the resurrection of the dead.” Here’s something more on this subject from Stephen Jones… * * * * * […]
Live Faith and Live Works
Let me just say here that SALVATION IS OF THE LORD, and we are NOT saved from hell to go to heaven but we are saved from DEATH TO LIFE! This process of bringing us from death to life STARTS with the free gift of the salvation of our spirit and with God’s righteousness imputed […]
