His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue | 2 Pet 1:3Joined July 2023
For a disciple of Jesus;
1. An obsession with 'eternal security' is odd.
2. An obsession with learning to follow Christ is right.
There is far, far more written in the New Testament about living a godly life now in this life and in this world, and being empowered and given all…
When we are obedient to the Spirit's leading, we are victorious over sin in the flesh and over spirit powers.
Those who love sin will hate the Spirit in us and the fragrance of victory.
But, those who thirst for life will sense the drawing power of Christ in their spirit!
"Now…
In these times, as the seas of humanity are stirred, we all experience the growing unrest regardless of our country.
Did this last night with some brothers:
"Therefore, I exhort first of all that supplications,
prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks
be made for all men,…
Focus on your race.
You won't have to give an account for others,
only your own unfaithfulness to the works
you were meant to walk in.
"But let none of you suffer as a... a busybody in other people’s matters." 1 Peter 4:15
The Kingdom is within until Jesus returns.
"And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful."
Colossians 3:15
God isn’t here to medicate us;
He’s here to fix us (Ezek 36:26–27).
Fixing requires surgery (Heb 4:12),
but it also guarantees functionality.
He forgives, *and* He frees us from futile slavery to sin (Rom 6:7, 18).
@ThePaleBison "There are two equal and opposite errors into which our race can fall about the devils.
One is to disbelieve in their existence.
The other is to believe, and to feel an excessive and unhealthy interest in them".
C.S. Lewis
What is your hope in?
All earthly hope disappoints.
Whether in people, relationships, politicians, my abilities, career, or the future.
All these things will fall away. None of these will bring true joy. But if my hope is in it, I will be unhappy, mistrusting and constantly…
The reason some Christians are so obsessively focused on the really demonic and satanic stuff, calling it out all the time, is that it makes them feel their own sin is not so bad.
But the truth is that they lie in defeat under satan, giving in to sin they should have stopped.…
Has any moment of human weakness, apart from the 3 below, had such a massive impact on the course of humanity?
1. Genesis 3:6
2. Genesis 4:8
3. Genesis 9:22
Love will cost you your life in this world.
That's why few love.
'Your life in this world' is not your earthly existence alone, but your pride, selfishness, envy, lust, fear, worries, etc.
All that, we must hate and lay down to love like Christ loved.
Luke 14:26, John 12:25,…
"I might seem ok on the outside, but inside I am full of the most terrible things."
That's what my nearly 90-year-old gran said to me one night as I was leaving after one of my regular visits.
I stopped in my tracks. Turned to her and stared.
Something had happened. Something…
Nothing can stop what's coming.

Now I saw heaven opened,
and behold, a white horse.
And He who sat on him was called
Faithful and True, and in righteousness
He judges and makes war.
His eyes were like a flame of fire,
and on His head were many crowns.
He had a name…
Do you not yearn deep within for "...peaceable fruit of righteousness..." and "...pure, peaceable, gentle, willing to yield, full of mercy and good fruits"?
Then don't despise the chastening work of the Spirit in your inner man through all your daily situations.
Chastening >…
Such a powerful, hopeful spirit to drink of in these words:
"In this you greatly rejoice,
though now for a little while, if need be,
you have been grieved by various trials,
that the genuineness of your faith,
being much more precious than gold
that perishes, though it is tested…
If you call yourself a Christian but know that you've been living in sin, start following Jesus today.
Stop avoiding the truth that you feel inside.
Give yourself over entirely to Jesus,
and from now on learn to hear and do
as He works in you;
to flee, resist, and endure…
It's not what we or others claim about us,
but what the Spirit of Truth testifies about us.
Do you have this testimony within?
_
"The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God"
Romans 8:16
"If we receive the witness of men, the witness of God…
If you keep evil thoughts out of your heart,
you will see God's hand in your life.
"Blessed are the pure in heart,
For they shall see God."
Matthew 5:8
