o) NOW WE MAY COME to Our Father and give Him the most true and heartfelt thanks for His Way of our Salvation! He created a way where there was “no way”… in the eyes of Satan, that is. Let us now consider the Greatest Mystery and Victory of God that there is or that there ever could...

PONDERING DEEP SPIRITUAL ISSUES – Chapter 5 – Part 11 – Mailing #151 – excerpt from The TRAGEDY and GLORY of BELIEVERS
n) ONE OF THE MOST INTRIGUING and mysterious questions that we may ponder before Our Father is the following: What is our “old man”, our sinful nature, our sin all about? What is its true origin, its beginning, its essence, its character? Why it cannot be changed, abandoned or reversed? How can we understand it? I will...
PONDERING DEEP SPIRITUAL ISSUES – Chapter 5 – Part 10 – Mailing #150 – excerpt from The TRAGEDY and GLORY of BELIEVERS
IT WAS NEVER OUR PART TO FIGHT OUR FLESH SINCE OUR FLESH CAN NEVER DESTROY ITSELF, OUR OWN SINFUL NATURE CAN NEVER DENY AND CRUCIFY ITSELF! It has always been God’s part to do, but always with our cooperation – our confession, repentance and consent to turn away from it and destroy it. That is why God first destroyed our flesh on the...

m) WE HAVE already declared in the previous Chapters what we have to overcome and how. The Lord desires that we also SEE and understand another practical side of overcoming our self, what the “denying of our self and taking up our cross and following the Lord” (Mt. 16:24) really means. What does it mean to say “I die daily”, (1Cor. 15:31) to “crucify my flesh” (Gal....

Let us now consider the spiritual fact which decisively shows the MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE of this book. While there was no other way from Egypt to the Promised Land except through the Red Sea, there were ways to reach the Promised Land on dry land from the wilderness after Israel crossed the Red Sea. Despite this fact, Our Father had REPEATED the miracle of...

Every believer desires Love and Mercy from the Lord, but His Love and Mercy always bring along with them His rod especially while we are spiritual children… and He beats us with it to deliver our SOUL from hell. (Pr. 23:13,14) Our Father is looking into our eyes and He says to us “YOU KNOW NOTHING YET...

Let us therefore repeat the First Great Commandment of God to us, believers: “And you shall LOVE the Lord Your God with ALL your heart, and with ALL your soul, and with ALL your mind, and with ALL your strength:” And the Second one is like this: “You shall LOVE your neighbour as yourself.” (Mk. 12:30,31// Lev. 19:18; “neighbour” is not every man or every believer or everyone living...

When this book reaches your hand and you are unwilling to send a simple “Thank you” note, what kind of love do you have for me? NONE! This book may have reached your hand, but it had not reached your heart. And even if it reached your heart, it found no love therein. The new Commandment...

Are we telling Our Father irreverent, embarrassing things? Oh, no! God cannot be embarrassed by truth and what is above and what follows is truth. Let us SEE from the Scripture that… IT WAS THE WILL OF GOD THAT MAN SHOULD BE SUBMERGED INTO EVIL OF SUCH A MAGNITUDE AND POWER THAT HE WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO...

OUR HEAVENLY FATHER DID NOT ALWAYS HAVE WHAT HE NEEDED OR DESIRED! When He created Lucifer, He needed him. God never created anything that He did not need. True? Even man in his foolishness does not (normally) create anything what he does not need. But did God also need Satan? YES, HE DID! He needed him for...
