BIBLE VERSION

Having our own private version of the Bible is a diversion.

THE KEY

The key to our eternal destiny -- obedience to God.

JUDGMENT

We all face God's judgment -- but we can determine what it will be.

THE FIX

The world is in a fix -- and only the return of Christ will fix it.

THE ULTIMATE

The ultimate need; and the automate solution -- the return of Christ.

A CALLING

When we learn of someone who is on fire for the Lord, dowe say, "That is not my calling?" Or are we turhing a deaf ear to it?

DIVINE ORDERING

If you think the Bible is a menu, at least let your Father do the ordering. He is an expert in dietary deficiency. And eat what is put on your plate!

BIBLE VERSIONS

No matter which bible version or translation that is chosen -- and there are many -- it is always subject to private interpretation. Therefore, Jesus had to provide an answer. He sent the Pentecostal power of the Holy Spirit, the Author, to interpret it based on our understanding and need to know..

THE NAME OF THE GAME

The Word of God puts the ball in our court. And it is a game of love. But we must return it.

QUENCHING THE holy SPIRIT

1 Corinthians 12:1-21 Corinthians 12
12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. .KJV

Unfortunately. Most present day churches do just that and their congregations are content without them doings so.

WHAT'S FOR LUNCH?

IN my view, any church or member that regards the Bible as a menu will suffer from spiritual starvation. By allowing the Holy Spirit to fill our plate with the full gospel we will be equipped to do good works.

SPEAKING IN TONGUES

In my view, the reason speaking in tongues is so divisive is that it is the objective proof of the baptism in the Holy Spirit. You can't claim you have it if` you do not. Whereas, with the subjective gifts, like faith. You may not have it but you can still claim you do.

AN EFFECTIVE SERMON

The proof of an effective sermon is the responses to an altar call.

YOUR CHRISTIAN FAITH

Is it a Way of life or a part-time avocation?

THE CAUSE OF THE FALL

Adam said, "Yes, dear."

THE FIX:

"Yes, Lord."

WHAT IF?

What if every Christian were thirsty?
John 7:37-39

What if every Christian were obedient?
Acts 1:8

Luke 11:9-13

What if Christian's stopped saying, "That is not my calling?"

What if?

FULLFILLED PROPHESY?

II Timothy 4:3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry.

Are the "comfort zone" churches a fullfillment of this predioctiion?

THE "AMERICAN DREAM."

The illusion is we can manage our own affairs apart from being
"one nation, under God."

"I LOVE TO TELL THE STORY....."

Are those that sing, "I love To Tell The Story" is it telling THE story or A story?

A CHURCH'S SPIRITUAL MATURITY

To find out a church congregation's spiritual maturity, just notice what the Pastor doesn't dare to preach about.

PRIDE

Pride got Satan kicked out of Heaven. It can keep us from getting in.

THE BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

Jesus needed it.
The Apostals needed it.
The disciples needed it.
Saint Paul needed it.
The early church needed it.
Jesus commanded it.
It proved the resurrrection..
Without it the early church would have died out.
The Southern Baptists and other say it passed away.
Hundreds of millions have received it.
How to go for it.
http://69.6.236.221/baptism2.htm

DISCIpLESHIP

Theologian's footnotes do not make disciples -- it takes footprints.

SPACE EXPLORATION

Man's modern Tower of Babel.

THE BIG PICTURE

The secular is a poor frame of reference for the divine. So Jesus sent the power of the Holy Spirit to give us the big picture.

THE WORldLY CHURCH

At the rapture, the worldy church will be left in the lurch.

THE RAPTURE

It is when the nominational churches get rid of the competition.

WILLINGNESS

What we do for God is onnly limited by our unwillingness to do what He tells us. For exampLe . Acts 1:8

A LIFE GOD REWARDS

Bruce Wilkinson has written a book entitled,"A Life God Rewards."
I loaned a copy to three people, including a Passtor. All three rejected the concept as being self-seeking. Although God may be scrapiing the bottom of the barrel of His riches as an incetive,thre are those who are not doing what it takes, for whatever reason, to earn the reward.

THE "MODERN CHURCH."

The previous references to the "modern church" had in mind those churches that have fnallen away from the early church's Pentecosal teaching and practice.

CESSATION'S

Sessationism is the doctrine that teaches the gifts of Holy Spirit passed away with the early church. The non-Charismatic/Pentecostal churchescdould not care less. Id this the great apostacy or "fallong away?

ThE DIVINE TRIP

The baptism ion the Holy Spirit will send a Christian on a a divine trtip but most trip over it.

THE MODERN CHUrCH'S MISSING LINK

And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. * John 14:16-17

And" why" you think?
"What!" -- and raise a stink?

SUPER CHRISTIANS

The supernatural of Pentecost makes naturral Christians super Christians.
Most Christians prefer to do that which comes naturally.

EVOLUTION VS CREATION

God given free will allows those who believe in evolution to make a monkey of themselves if they choose to do so.

BIBLE VERSION

It really doesn't matter which Bible version we choose if it is our own interpretation that we use.

NnON-CHARISMATIC "CHURCHES."

Non-Charismatic "churches" are giving ther Holy Spirit the run-around. And they think thhey are "main-stram" -- what a dream!. But they have no steam!

NON-CHARISMATICS

There are no non-Charismatric Christians. They either are one or have refused to seek it.Luke 11:9-13

NON-CHARISMATICS

There are no non-Charismatric Christians. They either are one or have refused to seek it.Luke 11:9-14

THE SECOND STEP

Being born again is turning on our engine; being baptized in the Holy Spirit is stepping on theaccelertor and start peddling the gospel......

THE HELPER

The Holy Spirit is our Helper who will depend on us to get up so He can help us get going.

OUR SPIRITUAL CUP

Becoming Pentecostal/Charismatic is to remove our hand from over our spiritual cup.

CHRISTIAN MATURITY

How mature we are as Christians can only be measured from the vantage point of greater maturity. We can never tell where we are but only where we have been.

TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP

Have we signed over the pink slip to God or are we just taking Him for a spin on Sunday morning?

LILIFE

Life is where do the works and learn the quarks to get the perks . It is where we do our homework for going home.

RITUAL

Ritual is spontaneity that has run out of breath.

Following Jesus

If we intend to follow Jesus we will need to leave ouromfort zone behind. It is not a means of transpoirtaton.

OUR COMFORT ZONE

Our comfort zone is a firewall to reason and logic.

SELF-EVALUATION

Self-evaluation can only be done in retrospect.

CHRISTIAN MATURITY

The degree of a Christian's maturity can be measured by their priorities.
And further maturing will change them.

WHY DO WE EXIST?

.When Jesus Christ created man with freewill, He foreknew He would also need to redeem him.Evolution negates creation.Which negates a Creator.Which negates accountability.Which negates a reason for existence.

CHRIST

STTo be prepared for the coming of our Lord is to be longing for it, to be looking forward to it, and to be living accordingly.Whether it is the public debt, the population explosion, the pollution of our environment, AIDS, or any other catastrophe facing our society, human effort is limited to merely slowing the trend -- not reversing it. The sin and greed that have caused these things are still present. God is long-suffering but He has foreordained a military coup when Christ returns to rule with a rod of iron.Following Christ will cost us everything, and a bill comes due each day as we take up our cross and follow Him.Without Jesus Christ man is damned if he does, and he is damned if does not. He is irrelevant.The only person whose reputation means anything is Jesus Christ. Even the Holy Spirit has elected to subordinate his reputation to that of Jesus. Then shouldn't we?

THE MARK

It has been said that the greatest indictment of a church is not that it is falling short of the mark but that is not striving for the mark. And some ask, "what mark?"

OBEDIENCE TO GOD

Obedience to God is His hearign aid.

CHILDREN

For parents to expect obedience from their children, they must set an example of their obedience to their Parent -- their Heavenly father. Just as our children must do things they dislike, parents should demonstrate that they are willing to do for their Father some things that they may not like doing. Christian parents who are only doing for God the things they like cannot expect their children to do otherwise.How often do your children see you doing your homework -- studying your Bible?If we find it necessary to shout at our children to get their attention, we should ask ourselves if our Heavenly Father has the same problem. Allowing us to experience trials is one way He shouts.Christ said we must be as little children to enter the kingdom of God. That is to say, we are to have the unquestioning faith of a child. It does not mean we are to be retarded in our spiritual growth. We are to become holy as God is holy.The reason so many young people are not able to find themselves is because they are looking for the wrong person. And they are looking in the wrong place. If they first find the Lord, He will then show them who they are, what they are, their potential as His children, and why God created them in the first place. In trying to find themselves they are looking for someone who is lost, and when they have found themselves, it will have proven to be a dead end.If faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God -- and without faith it is impossible to please God -- it must follow that it is impossible to please God if we are not listening to Him. Is not one of the greatest difficulties we have with our children that they do not listen to us?If we have difficulty giving both God and our children quality time, why not combine some of both? Shouldn't we be training our children to spend quality time listening to God? Shouldn't it be a joint venture?If we excuse our failure to spend quality time with God because of the needs of a child, how do we justify having another one?Why do we make commitments to children, friends, and activities, but tell God we will spend more time with Him just as soon as we get caught up?

CARNALITY

When we constantly give priority to the temporal over the eternal, the material over the spiritual, and time with the world over time with our Lord, we are establishing habits that, the longer they are practiced, the harder they will be to break. In time, they will be unbreakable -- and fatal!

THE FALL

The fall of man mandated their be a fall guy -- the Creator of the universe - Jesus Christ!

BLESSINGS

When God first blesses us in a new way, we may be full of praise and thanksgiving. If we are not careful, we will come to think of what we have received as something we had deserved and take it for granted. It may then be necessary for God to take it away for a time until we get recalibrated

the truth

The enemy of the truth is a half-truth.

BEGGING

There are times that God must foreclose on those things that we have bought into beyond what He has afforded us to pay for. Walking along the brink of bankruptcy on a presumed faith that results in begging for financial support is not stepping out in God's faith. It is ambition. If God ordains something to be done, He may not provide the means up front, but He will never be late in supplying it. God's provision does not require begging. If we find it necessary to beg, we have gotten ahead of God. Having to beg is the evidence that we have stepped out in presumption -- not faith.

SELF-JUSTIFICATION

Self-justification is a free pass to Hell.
But through the blood of Jesus we take the overpass.

SPEAKING IN TONGUES

In a denominational church, speaking about speakning in tongues is equivalent to speaking in tongues.

ATTITUDE

Since it is our thoughts that decide our attitude, control of our thoughts is vital to enjoying the abundant life that Christ came to bring us. No matter how difficult controlling our thoughts may seem, our peace of mind depends on it.The abundant life is the Christ-centered attitude. It is not based on our circumstances.

OBEDIENCE TO GOD

Salvation may be thought of as an eternal life insurance policy.
But it is not a paid up policy!
So if we do not keep up the payments, it will lapse.
And the coin of the realm is "obedience."

A COMFORT ZONE

An unfortunate number of Christians have come to think that their comfort one is their destination in flolllowing Christ. But it is, at best, merely a rest stop. And to dwell there is to no longer following Him.

THE HELPER

JOHN 14:16-18 KNJ16 "And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever,17 "even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you.18 "I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
JOHN 16:7 NKJ7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you.
JOHN 15:26 NKJ26 "But when the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me.

However, it is incumbent upon us to be open to doing what He directs us to do.We must take the first step. Step out in faith so to speak.
If we are merely doing what we choose, we are on our own.
It is often stated that "God helps those that who help themselves". Although this encourages initiative, it also suggests we do not need the Helper.
When it is with His help that we accomplish His work, we must give Him the credit.
Pentecost is where we place our help wanted ad. And the Helper is on the way!

SPEAKING IN TONGUUES -- A TWO-EGED SWORD!

http://69.6.236.221/rita.htm

Our claim

We may claim we are Christians but works is the name of the game.

TURNING OVER A NEW PAGE

The baptism in the Holy Spirit is going to the Holy Spirit's Book and then to the page He is holding upon to us. And then to tag along as He turns the pages. He will meet us where we are but we must be willing to follow Him as He turns the pages.

SOMETHING HARD TO CHEW ON

Hebrews 5:8. Although He was a Son, He learned obedience from the things which He suffered.

Do we need to suffer to learn obedience?

9. And having been made perfect, He became to all those who obey Him the source of eternal salvation,

Are there disobedient Christians or is that an oxymoron?

10. being designated by God as a high priest according to the order of Melchizedek. 11. Concerning him we have much to say, and it is hard to explain, since you have become dull of hearing.

Have our presuppositions made us hard of hearing?

12. For though by this time you ought to be teachers, you have need again for someone to teach you the elementary principles of the oracles of God, and you have come to need milk and not solid food.

Are we sippers or chewers?

13. For everyone who partakes only of milk is not accustomed to the word of righteousness, for he is an infant. 14. But solid food is for the mature, who because of practice have their senses trained to discern good and evil.

THE "YES, BUTTERS."

Those who keep saying, "yes, but" to the Scriptures that challenge their comfort zone theology are just sitting on them.

THE ANSWER TO FRUSTRATION

God's'answer to frustration is faith and patience..

PRIVATE INTERPRETATION OF THE BIBLE

1 Corinthians 13:1. If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
2.
If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge; and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
3.
And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned, but do not have love, it profits me nothing.
4.
Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant,
5.
does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered,
6.
does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth;
7.
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
8.
Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away.
9.
For we know in part and we prophesy in part;
10.
but when the PERFECT comes, the partial will be done away.
11.
When I was a child, I used to speak like a child, think like a child, reason like a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things.
12.
For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face; now I know in part, but then I will know fully just as I also have been fully known.
13.
But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.

This chapter is often called the love chapter. It is frequently read at memorial survices without any apparent understanding that it is describing how the gifts of the Holy Spirit as described in chapters 12 and 14 are to be used. It is totally taken out of context.

It is also the basis on which those who say the gifts of Pentecost passed away with the early church. They have chosen to privately interpret the meaning of the word "perfect" to refer to when the biBible was cannonized. And the gifts are no longer needed since we now have the Bible.
It is akin to saying that now we have the documation, we don't need the program.

Of course this requires ignoring the fact that there are an estimated number of over 400,000 Christians who have expperienced and continue to experience the manifestation of these gifts.

And how many think the "perfect" has come?

However, for me, the great tragedy is that, for many Chrristians, they may as well have cease since they neither want them, are seeking them, or have any intest in using them, even to help others. Luke:11:9-13

FREE DIVINE SOFTWARE

In many ways our brain can be compared to a computer.
For example, it has a "hard drive", a short term "ram", and an operating program.
I submit that the baptism in the Holy Spirit is a power pack utility software utility ackage that Jesus will install if we ask him and are willing to download it. It is a vital need for those who are open to doing what He calls us to do.
For the documentations, see:

REQUEST

IT WOULD BE APPRECIATED IF YOU DO NOT POST UNRELATED COMMENT TO THE BLOGS.

THEY HAVE EYES BUT THEY SEE NOT

There are those who who say,
the Holy Spirit's gifts have passed away,
and are no longer available today.
And closed their minds and eyes to see
their only chance to be,
the means and ways that set us free.
That are His gifts to you and you and me.

OUR CALLING

It is not our call to merely chat,
to chew the fat,
but get off our pratt whereon we sat.
To stand up tall,
to give our all, like Pete and Paul.
.And go to bat, and hit the ball.
that is our call and to never stall.
And that is that, it is our call.

A QUESTION

Multitudes of Christians regularly sing this hymn by Charles Wesley but do they know what they are asking for?

Oh for a thousand tongues to sing
My great Redeemer's praise,
The glories of my God and King,
The triumphs of His grace!

Charles, as well a John, were charismatic, could hardly have meant a thousand physical tongues since that would make us a monstrosity.
Perhaps there is a clue in verse 16. ( not included in most hymnals)

Then with my heart I first believed,
Believed with faith divine,
Power with the Holy Ghost received
To call the Savior mine.

So the question is, why is this hymn sung by so many who are not seeking this power?

THE ABUNDANCE

John 10:10. "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.

This is eteral life but the abundance came at Pentecost. http://69.6.236.221/baptism2.htm

ATTENTION!

If we make it necessary, God will allow or cause circumstances to get our attention. Cancer is very effective.

INVISIBLE INK

For Christians who have already made up their mind, many parts of the Bible are written in invisible ink. The ink is there to make us think.

A WEEKLY DEVOTIONAL

Derek Prince's Weekly Devotional for October 17, 2005

Psalm 5:12
Here is a word for you from the Word.
For surely, O LORD, you bless the righteous; you surround them withyour favor as with a shield. NIV
That's one thing very sure--God blesses the righteous. Alot of things today that we used to count on, we've found nolonger absolutely sure. Many places that we looked for security andcertainty have failed us and let us down. Political solutions andfinancial solutions seem to be crumbling today. But there is one thingstill sure in life, that God blesses the righteous. We need to spendmuch more concern about making sure that our lives are right beforeGod. That we qualify for that blessing of the Lord which He reservesfor the righteous, which is only for the righteous.
And then the psalmist says, "You surround them [the righteous]with your favor as with a shield." God's favor is towardthe righteous and when we walk in His righteousness His favor is likea shield, like a protection around about us that shields us againstthe blows of life. It shields us against the pressures. It shields usagainst forces that are too strong for us. It shields us from harm anddanger and evil. What a blessing to walk in the favor of the Lord, toknow His presence, to know His favor around about you as a shield.Remember, there's one thing sure; God blesses the righteous. -Derek Prince

THE SLAM DUNK!

To seek the Baptisn in the Holy Spirit is to be dunked.
Otherwise we are just wading.

OUR LIST OR GOD'S?

We all have a to-do list which may also include what we have chosen to do for God - when we find time.
God also has a to-do list for all Christian, which includes us. Our list may include some of those on God's list, but if we are substituting our list for His list, we are listless and useless to God!

A CAIN OFFERING

To do what we choose to do for God man be a "good" thiung but if we substitute it for what God tells us to do, it is a Cain offering and is totally unacceptable to God.

A LIMITED TIME OFFER

To be born again is a limited time offer with an unknown deadline.
Saying Heaven can wait is a risk of eternal consequences.

HOLY SPIRIT POWER BY A DAM SITE

The Scriptures say that when we are saved we are filled with the Holy Spirit. For those who say it is the same as being baptized in the Holy spirit I offer this analogy..
Visualize a hydo-electric plant. There is a lake behind it that represts being filled with the Holy Spirit. However, no power is generated until there is a flow through the genereators. Being baptized in the Holy Spirit opens the gates. This generates the power by which we enlighten the world because out of the dam flows rivers of living water.
We may have a lake of living water within us but we need to ask Jesus to open the gates.

See John 7:37-39

THE TEMPORAL VERSUS THE ETERNAL

It has been said that the enemy of the best (eternal) is something good (temporal).

Although it is not an either/or proposition but when the temporal is a substitute for the eternal it becomes its enemy.

THE SECOND BLESSIMG

The baptism in the Holy Spirit by Jesus is getting in cahoots with the Holy Spirit.

Jesus' second blessing

The baptism in the Holy Spirit is getting in cahoots with Him.

MORE FOR THOSE WHO HAVE MUCH

Kenneth Hagen, the late well-known evangelist, testified to having prayed this prayer for himself for an extended period of time and he experienced a dramatic change in his life. It is a prayer that Paul prayed for the Ephesians.

(Ephesians 1:17-19 and 3:16-4:1) It has been paraphrased into the first person so an individual can pray it for himself. Father, the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, I pray that you will give me the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that I may know You better. I pray also that the eyes of my heart may be enlightened in order that I may know the hope to which You have called me, the riches of Your glorious inheritance in the saints, and Your incomparably great power for us who believe. I pray that out of Your glorious riches You may strengthen me with power through Your [Holy] Spirit in my inner being, so that Christ may dwell in my heart through faith. And I pray that I, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the saints, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge -- that I may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God. Now to You, who is able to do immeasurably more than all I can ask or imagine, according to Your power that is at work within me, to You be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations

The Ephesians were Spirit-filled born again believers but even for them there was more.

ANOTHER QUESTION

Why is it that anyone will accept an offer of money without question?
But when it is suggested, even to Christians, that God has both present and eternal riches which are free for the asking*** that they often refuse? In fact, some take offense that it is being suggested that they don't already have it all.

<s9. "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
10. "For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to him who knocks, it will be opened.
11. "Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish; he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12. "Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion, will he?
13. "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to those who ask Him?"

THE THIRD WORLD

The third world is much more open to God's world of miracles than the either the first or second. They are worlds apart.

A QUESTION

Luke 11 9. "So I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you
will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.
10. "For everyone who asks, receives; and he who seeks, finds; and to
him who knocks, it will be opened.
11. "Now suppose one of you fathers is asked by his son for a fish;
he will not give him a snake instead of a fish, will he?
12. "Or if he is asked for an egg, he will not give him a scorpion,
will he?
13. "If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your
children, how much more will your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to
those who ask Him?"

Question 1 Who is saying this?

Question 2 Who is He addressing?

Question 3 What are they He is addressing told to ask, seek, and
knock for?

Why do they need to do this?

pLEASE REPLY BY YOUR COMMENTtrong---------V

JUST TRY IT!

Confront most Christians with a Bible verse that challenges their presuppositions and you will get a receding rear vies.

A QUESTION

When, in time, did the disciples become Christians?

MINDSET

For those who have made up their mind there are no such thing as proof texts that say otherwise.

CHERISHED BELIEFS

The length of time a cherished belief has been held does not add to it veracity.

HAVE YOU BEEN FRAMED?

A comfort of presuppositions is a frame of reference that blocks seeing the big picture.
