So, what spiritual truth would Our Lord desire to show believers today? Let us see three of His practical points. 01. The Lord does not need (more) men in His Church, who can read and write, study, prepare sermons, teach and preach. There are plenty of such. He needs (more) men, who are crucified (Gal. 5:24)...

The same goes for the darkened heart which does not know itself and does not understand its own motives, goals and intentions which are always behind all the heart’s desires. No matter how good and noble such desires, goals or intentions of our natural heart may be, they are always tainted with our personal character, hence, they are always...

Spiritual pride, especially in the ministers of the Word, causes great damages in the spiritual development and growth of God’s people. One example is the following. There is a preacher in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, whom the Lord put into my heart from the moment I saw him preaching on TV for the first time about 5 years ago. He preaches...

SPIRITUAL BELIEVERS Let me be brief and avoid writing too many things which might distract us from the one principal feature and fact characterizing spiritual believers. That fact is: THEY SEE the spiritual truths, spiritual realities, spiritual world and also themselves. Since they SEE, they also LIVE the spiritual truths and spiritual realities. They do not judge by...

Let us consider one other important example that touches born-again believers and the absolute need of their works of faith, of striving, going on unto perfection of their soul and spirit, lest they should enter the DANGER ZONE OF LOSING THEIR LIFE ETERNAL. The Word of God in Heb. 6:1-3 tells us: “Therefore, leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, LET US GO...

Soulish, carnal, fleshly believers always want to have everything free, without any responsibility, without any action, any effort on their part whatsoever, just believe… and God will do everything for them. NO! They have to DO THE FAITH-LIGHT which Christ has showed them about themselves lest that faith remains dead and they remain dead to the Spirit. (Jam. 2:17,26)...

Yet there are believers that do go on unto perfection (Heb. 6:1) and do not continue on the merry-go-round of their religious kindergarten. They heed the call of the Lord and they are not afraid to step out of their boat and learn to walk on the water, which represents living and walking by faith....

At this point, the Lord desires to show us one of the deepest and most dangerous deceptions with which believers are deceived. It greatly affects our beliefs, the course of our actions or inactions and all our earthly life. It also makes us unable to receive from Him what we need and what He desires to give us and prosper us...

SOULISH BELIEVERS If we are able to SEE, understand and believe the abilities of our natural soul briefly described in the preceding section, we may now continue and describe typical abilities of soulish believers as we may also recognize them in our daily Christian lives. Soulish believers trust and follow solely their natural soul as they...

We may ask reverently where was the “unconditional” Love of God, His Grace, His Mercy and His “longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that ANY should perish, but that ALL should come to repentance”? (2Pet. 3:9b) Can our natural human soul and mind understand or reconcile this above Word of God with Jn. 13:26,27? NO! The fact is that we MUST SEE...
