Daddy God
Romans 8:15 (NIV) - The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, "Abba, Father." The word "Live in fear again" is not referring to fearing a snake or a spider but the context is fearing God. The meaning of adoption to sonship here is referring to mature sons because of the dispensation of Grace. Those who are under Law are baby sons....or infants. God's Grace is higher than the Law of God. Which are you under? The Holy Spirit here refuse to translate the Title of the revelation of God as anything else but "Abba". The word Abba is equivalent to "Daddy" or "Papa" which has the same meaning. The idea is closeness and family kin which only sons inherit. This is the revelation. Why I share this is because there are voices out there who wants to impose a "distance" God...where there is still a sense of separation, God on Throne while we are still trying to earn his love. These are the cultic voice that tries to put God on the same platform as all other religion, a fearful & vengeful god as some tries to exhibit. There are many names which God is known in the past like El-Shaddai, Elohim, Jehovah Tsidkenu, but Jesus came to reveal the greatest revelation of God which is " Abba" or Daddy. Yes God is the judge of all things, He may be the great judge on the throne but he is your Daddy God who loves you intensely and runs to you before you take that first step! Don't let anyone take that revelation away from you. God Bless. |

QUOTE(tinarhian @ Jun 23 2017, 11:20 PM) I belived that God does prosper some of us Christians; not necessarily all of us though. But maybe what we don't want to hear is from prosperity gospel preachers are their exploitative message / sermons that mentioned about sacrificial tithe giving that could jeopardize these common people of their own financial sacrifice. There you go again. The recycle argument. You talking about something else, I'm talking about something else.Besides these prosperity preachers sounded like MLM. Would appreciate if you learn to focus. Thank you. |

Pray for the Holy Spirit to work through you before engaging.http://crochecottage.tumblr.com/post/16217...lacktones/embed How do you convince or talk to people who had a lifelong abuse from Christians? Either as a church, a family, or in school? They don't believe God is love. They see Him as an abuser. Since they don't believe in any love exists from Jesus or Christians, how do we even approach?

When Life isn't Fair, wait patiently for the Lord
Psalms 37 1 Do not fret because of those who are evil or be envious of those who do wrong; 2 for like the grass they will soon wither, like green plants they will soon die away. 3 Trust in the Lord and do good; dwell in the land and enjoy safe pasture. 4 Take delight in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord; trust in him and he will do this: 6 He will make your righteous reward shine like the dawn, your vindication like the noonday sun. 7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they carry out their wicked schemes. 8 Refrain from anger and turn from wrath; do not fret—it leads only to evil. 9 For those who are evil will be destroyed, but those who hope in the Lord will inherit the land. 10 A little while, and the wicked will be no more; though you look for them, they will not be found. 11 But the meek will inherit the land and enjoy peace and prosperity. 12 The wicked plot against the righteous and gnash their teeth at them; 13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked, for he knows their day is coming. God's solution when life is unfair and there are enemies who are against you. These are the things you can practice. 1. Don't Fret 2. Trust in God and continue to do good 3. Delight in the Lord 4. Commit your way to God 5. Be still before God 6. Refrain from anger & turn from wrath God Bless. |

Old Covenant kills New Covenant gives Life
2 Corinthians 3:6 (NIV) - He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant--not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life. What is the New Covenant? The Covenant is the Covenant of Grace! IN fact the gospel is called the Gospel of Grace!. And God backup ministers who preach Grace, not only that God gives competency (much more in the Gospel). Those who preach doom and gloom belongs to the Old Covenant. Those who preach the Law, bringing in demands to people belong to the a covenant that Kills!. There are voices out there who are against ministry of Grace in this forum and they do not understand what they are against. But those who preach Grace will have God's support in the ministry. According to 2 Corinthians 3:9, the New Covenant of Grace gives righteousness that is far glorious than the old. Why? Because under the old, righteousness depends on our performance (covenant that kills) while under the New it's given to you as a gift and unmerited through Faith which brings life! Only when you are bestowed righteousness, the Holy Spirit can come in and reside in you. Only when you are bestowed righteousness, your prayers avails much! The covenant of Grace is about LIVING! and LIFE guided by the Holy Spirit! The Holy Spirit will guide us in our life, in every aspect, whether in business, in studies, at home or at school. The Holy Spirit can open doors that is good for us and closes doors of opportunity that is bad. When the Holy ask us to forgive an enemy, He is teaching us to be free in Life because those who holds a grudge do not know, they're under bondage to bitterness...it affects the decision making, the health, etc. Under the covenant of Grace, we can ask for God's Grace to be in every aspect of our life. What is Grace? Grace means unmerited favor of God and it is for the undeserving. If you feel, you have not measure up before God, then you qualify to receive God's Favor without any merit. The more you see you do not measure up, the more you qualify. God's Grace can turn unfavorable circumstance to favorable circumstance. I have witnessed this so many times and can testify this is true. Under the New Covenant, we can be rest assured God is for us and not against us. God can turn and orchestrate every even (good and bad) for our good. Enemies who comes against your life will be under the orchestration of God to be changed for our good. Under the New Covenant, no weapon formed against us will prosper! 2 Corinthians 5:21, God made Jesus who has no sin to be sin for us..this means that all our sins are imparted to Christ. ALL of it. While Jesus Righteousness is given to us in exchange! If there is any sin left unpunished or one that is hidden unconfessed, Christ cannot be resurrected to Life. Think about it, How can Christ be raised to Life, if sin in our life is not accounted for? How glorious is this Covenant of Grace. It is a complete Salvation. Under the New Covenant, your Salvation is the work of God. When God works, it is divine. We may fail but God NEVER Fails. As long as our Faith is in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, it is a blessed assurance meaning something that God guarantees! I believe when we look to Grace, Grace will bring us Home unhindered...even of our failings. So dear Friends...Breath Easy and start living under the New Covenant. Do not allow voices to rob you of the New Covenant of Grace, there is so much to discover and learn. God willing, I will expound more and more of this blessed Grace. God Bless |

QUOTE(Sophiera @ Jun 27 2017, 05:52 PM) UW in response to your devotional i want to ask... Who're the Orthodox? How are they different from Catholics? Orthodox believes they're the original Church that has sacred tradition passed down from the apostles.Lately the Reddit got guys saying Orthodox is the only say, the sola scriptura is false doctrine, Protestants are going to hell ect ect. And I'm like, who are even these people Everyone tell him to chill of course. But i still have no idea why they're called Orthodox and us Hetrodox. Why are they different? Also there's always one guy saying nobody is sure of their salvation until they die. Is that a Catholic idea? Anyone can say their denomination is the only way while others are false....we should never play the role of Heaven's Gate keeper. Jesus alone has that right. So never bother if any Man or Woman says things like this, bother what the Bible says....If Jesus Christ is the one who gives Life and Salvation has saved you, who has that right to deny the gift of Salvation given to you? Answer is..No one, just Man with his presumptions. This post has been edited by unknown warrior: Jun 27 2017, 06:10 PM |

Where does sin gets its strength from? Romans 7:8 (NIV) - But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead. When you preach the Law or when you put demands on believers, "you must do this or do that to appease God", this is like adding wood to fire where the act of sin will explode. There is no stopping it when Law is magnified. We all think that the works of the devil is synonym with things prostitutes, murderers, robbery....true as it maybe but those are not the greatest deception. Those are the works of lower minions of the evil one. The greatest deception of the devil are the works behind the pulpit. He'll come to you as an angel of light, preaching strongly on the Law. There are some sermons you hardly hear the blood of Jesus or about Jesus preached. 2 Corinthians 11:14 tells us in the KJV And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. The word End there in the Greek is "telos" which means that the preaching's purpose or goal is according to "works". Why? Because the devil knows Romans 7:8. Apart from the Law, sin was dead but the flipside will be true, Expound on the Law, Sin comes alive. That is why whenever you hear people saying "you must be righteous before God hears your prayer" are the preaching of the Law..where Satan can use to put people in bondage, as we have evidently encounter in this forum, the spirit behind it. The only antidote to this is to move away from the Law as much as possible and look to Grace. Complete and abundance Grace is the only power that God has given to the believer for freedom. Why? Because Grace dismantle all qualification. It causes you to be vulnerable to God's mercy and goodness and that is something good! Why? Because in there, the devil cannot get you and God is able to hold you completely. I pray the Holy Spirit will give you this revelation. God Bless. |

QUOTE(Sophiera @ Jun 29 2017, 06:39 PM) Ha, i remember reading that one of the bad teachings had the term "Golawsple" because it's enphasis on the law. I'll share the bigger list when I get on pc. The preaching of Christ death and resurrection should result in transformed lives of the believers (any and every aspect, be it healing, deliverance, miracles, etc) otherwise people can say it's just "theoretical religion". As such, testimony of the believers life are equally important as they dismantle and defeat voices and ideology of Satan. (Revelation 12:11)edit: wait I got it wrong http://www.christsiouxfalls.org/index.php/...=50:listeners-.. Check this page out. Very interesting stuff. Thoughts about it? I think this is where I differ from most other teachers. As what was written in the link and as mostly taught conventionally the key message focus on the believer of repenting from their sins where I stress on the remissions of sin by the work of Christ. One focus on self while I try to engage the believer to focus on what Christ did. His blood separated our sins. I believe we need to acknowledge we are sinners but after accepting Christ, the main focus is geared more towards how perfect the work of Christ over our sins and that we are made righteous in Christ. The focus is on the beauty that God has made us in Christ. But some preachers loves to make believers to always feel dirty and sin conscious..to me that is dishonoring what Christ did and magnifying the work of Adam more than Christ. It's like what Christ did never took off and never really changed the person. That is their mindset which (to me) belongs to the OT covenant preaching. NT is about Christ has delivered us not WIP trying to deliver us. This is what I believe caused so much argument and hatred towards what I preached and have resulted in another thread created. They do not understand this revelation. |

QUOTE(Sophiera @ Jun 30 2017, 06:29 PM) Today's prayer had something that confuses me. It's from Psalm 107 Rule of the thumb to always remember..under the Old Covenant, people are judged by their deeds against God's Law, failure to obey would bring wrath while the flip side of obedience will bring blessings.23 Some went down to the sea in ships * and plied their trade in deep waters; 24 They beheld the works of the LORD * and his wonders in the deep. 25 Then he spoke, and a stormy wind arose, * which tossed high the waves of the sea. 26 They mounted up to the heavens and fell back to the depths; * their hearts melted because of their peril. 27 They reeled and staggered like drunkards * and were at their wits' end. 28 Then they cried to the LORD in their trouble, * and he delivered them from their distress. 29 He stilled the storm to a whisper * and quieted the waves of the sea. 30 Then were they glad because of the calm, * and he brought them to the harbor they were bound for. 31 Let them give thanks to the LORD for his mercy * and the wonders he does for his children Did God cause a storm to demonstrate his saving grace instead of preventing it? If a human tried to cause trouble to show their good later, it would have been called a conspiracy. So i don't get what this means. Psalm 107 was most likely written by King David, depicting the lives of Israelite. If you read verse 11... 11 because they rebelled against God’s commands and despised the plans of the Most High. You'll get the idea why they're subject to punishment. But despite of their disobedience God was merciful to still love them and rescue them from their own iniquity. By right a just God would mete out Just punishment but the fact the God still rescues them...show the Grace and Mercy of a loving God. |

QUOTE(Sophiera @ Jun 30 2017, 07:12 PM) Oh i see. Skeptics and ex Christians always bring up the OT as their proof that God is cruel. So knowing the context is comforting. There are people who can't come to Church because of health reasons. Then what does that makes them? Another question to ask https://www.reddit.com/r/Christianity/comme...comment/djlitdn I think this commenter going out of a limb? Whatever i studied of the NT, isn't Church all members of the body of Christ? Of course they support community and encourage people to come together. But to say not going to Church as a building or group makes you not Christian... Seems to me is totally off the mark. The sole requirement should be the blood of Jesus Christ. Just ignore those sort of comments. As long as the person keeps the relationship with Christ alive and well, continue to trust what Christ has done for the person, follows the command to love one another, don't see why He/She cannot qualify to be a Christian. |
