Discipline in light of walking in faith.

In light of my earlier warning about a root of bitterness developing is Paul's exhortation referencing "buffeting himself" ( 1 Cor. 9:23-27). Self sacrifice not only doesn't come easy; it really doesn't come at all in our old nature. The secret here is to spend time with the Lord to allow Him to more fully occupy our hearts; minds; bodies and souls; as He is truly Master and Lord of all or not truly Lord at all. Just as a job at work is much easier when we are conversing and our minds are occupied; we can also give the Lord the reigns of our hearts and minds so that we simply follow the lead. This doesn't mean that we somehow look at the Bible as something we are to get into us without making the effort to study scripture; it isn't osmosis or some mystical power the pages of the book possess themselves; it is the fact that the Word is the living Word; a testimony of how the Spirit makes clear to us the practical wisdom; the prophetic and all other things we can grow in as our spiritual discernment and giftings are sharpened.

People have argued whether our old nature is truly dead; "covered by the blood"; dormant; etc. I would say that like a car without fuel it remains inactive unless we choose to fuel it by activating sin; which almost always begins with thoughts and imaginations. That is what I will cover in my next Psalm reading. I would say that if we are truly Born Again that Satan will infuse thoughts that if we aren't diligent to catch will trigger us into activating the old man into sin. So if we are saved and walking in the Spirit then what must first catch our attention is something resembling our old pattern of emotions or thoughts but originating from a demonic source. These suggestions of course don't give us a hint of the affect; namely Satan's accusations the moment we cave into sin. Unlike the father of lies; God's light is without variance ( John 8:12). May we live in this steadfastness.

I am having surgery tomorrow

I have an unspoken request.

I'm like you Gerald, I wouldn't know a Greek salad if I ate it, but I do study or verify Greek words with the Strongs concordance. It's been very profitable. I have gotten help from other brothers and it didn't often give new revelation but gave deeper and enhanced meaning. for example In Matthew 4:1-11 one word translated makes all the world the difference but it didn't give me new revelation because there is other scriptures that painted the same picture but the Greek or Hebrew gave more light.

Here's is the verse;

"And when the tempter came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread."

In the Greek the verse reads "SINCE" thou be the Son of God. The devil knew exactly who Jesus was.

In fact the demons knew who he was through out the Gospels.

This cause us to look at the word tempted a little closer in the Greek.

The Holyspirit is who drove Christ in the wilderness to be tempted/proven. "or to confirm Jesus is who the scriptures says he is".

You see an example of this in Luke 14:19. And another said, I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I go to prove them: I pray thee have me excused.

This test is not to see if he would fail or not it's to show that he won't.

It's getting late, Perhaps others can elaborate more.

God bless.

Amy , I will pray for this family tonight.

Dear Heavenly Father, Be closer to this family during this sad time. We ask that You bring this young child to heaven to be with You forever. We ask that You comfort and help this family as this painful decision occurs and they come to face the death of this child. they love so much. Bless them during this time, strengthening them in their faith in You and love for each other. We ask these things of You, Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus. Amen.

Guy,

You are very welcome. I'm glad I could share.

Dear Shona, I am so sorry that you are so ill. I will pray for you tonight.

Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You to ask that You cause Shona to recover from covid quickly without severe complications. We ask that You reduce the intercranial pressure in her head so that she will not have incidents that require surgery. Keep Shona alive and well. We ask this of You Father, in the name of Your Son Jesus, Amen.

Dear Vatina,

Yes, he is young still. I have arthritis in my back and shoulders and hands and feet. For pain, I have tried many therapies. What has helped me the most are medications that are help with nerve pain. The pain that comes from arthritis manifests in nerve pain. I take Cymbalta in the morning and Gabapentin in the late afternoon and then at bedtime and colchicine once a day. If things get worse then I take Aleve. Since finally getting all three of these meds I do not need narcotic pain meds or muscle relaxers anymore.

You may have him ask his doctor about these medicines. They may be helpful for him.

I pray that Stephanie Marks loves me and more the anything wants to be in love with me. She comes to me with her arms open. That she wants to be in a long term relationship with me. She sees I'm all that she wants. That I'm all that she needs.

Gladly, Guy, good to meet you.

Amen Brother Jesse.

These passages is so important to understand!

The crucifixion and resurrection brought life. "Sanctification.

Then Paul goes on In Romans 8 and talk about our walk!

There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, but after the Spirit.

FOR THE LAW OF THE SPIRIT OF LIFE IN CHRIST JESUS hath made me free from the law of sin and death.

For what the law could not do, in that it was weak through the flesh, God sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh:

That the righteousness of the law might be fulfilled in us, WHO WALK NOT AFTER THE FLESH, but after the Spirit.

For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit.

Paul is giving us a lesson on the laws of nature between the flesh and the Spirit.

This is spiritual physics if you will.

Our old nature was married to sin "Inseparable!!

Salvation is much more than just atonement and freeing us from the penalty of sin but it also assists us in the power over sin and a fruit filled life BY THE WORKING OF THE SPIRIT. We had and have nothing to offer of ourselves.

Some of the most used verses in Romans 8 is the first half of verse 1. "THERE IS THEREFORE NOW NO CONDEMNATION TO THEM WHICH ARE IN CHRIST JESUS." and Romans 8:28-39.

The context of Romans 8:2-27 seems to get looked over alot.

Paul has a lot to say about the work of the Holyspirit and the contrast between the flesh and the Spirit in Romans 6 on through Romans 8.

GB.

Hello



I live alone. I am struggling financially. I have a personal financial crisis. Please pray for me. I will pray for you too. Thank you.

Dear Amy, I will pray for you tonight.

Dear Heavenly Father, Tonight we lift up Amy to You and ask that You strengthen her in her commitment to You and train her to be a student of Your word. We ask that You place in Amy a unquenchable desire to follow hard after You, as David did. We pray that You will fill Amy with overflowing joy and uplift her during this time of stress and busyness. We know, Father, that You love Amy more than she could ever comprehend and delight in drawing believers to seek You to know You more clearly and love You more dearly and follow You more nearly. So do this in Amy's life. We ask these things from You Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus. Amen.

Health,finances,family,success, protection

Hi Sammi, I was wondering how do you get to comments of two years ago?

Brother Spencer,

My apologies. That chapter outline I mentioned begins at Verse 14, not Verse 24. I have a tough time typing on my phone!

Gerald, It may be so that the apostles and disciples stayed in Jerusalem as a congregation for a time, but, obviously, someone took the Gospel to Samaria and Antioch (which was not Paul). So, it is obvious that the apostles and disciples did spread the gospel outside of Jerusalem. James was the church leader of the Jerusalem church. Peter it seems was a part for a while, but he may have used it as a home base from where he went out to do missionary work. Paul speaks of Peter fellowshipping among the Gentiles where Paul preached.

There is not mention in the Scriptures of where the other disciples lived or preached at. But it is thought that they brought the gospel to northern Africa, India, Syria, Spain, and as you said, to the British Isles.
