x) PRIDE is a deep rooted and poisonous plant from which grow many and various branches. One of the most damaging ones is selfishness. Here, we are not only hurting ourselves but also many others and also the Lord Himself! Selfish believers only look at themselves, how they feel, how they understand and whether they are satisfied, or...

u) We must not bypass or neglect a specific “virtue of our flesh” which shows itself rather prominently in many believers. It is their LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY. I view this particular weakness as a branch growing from the root of selfishness combined with laziness, fears and a total disinterest in the affairs of the Lord and...

We may not know exactly how this mechanism of “being puffed up” works, but we could observe it and turn away from it once we know that it exists. In practical life, we may be demanding from a believer to stop doing some foolish things or foolish decisions. And if he repeats them in the...

I also read books, which give very precious and sweet promises of God without which we would not go very far, in fact, we would not go anywhere! It means, there must be a BALANCE OF TRUTH preached, taught and explained. One such book is called “The Believer’s Promise Book[15]” by Larry Richards, which contains over 700...

o) Let us now turn to the Word of God, which gives us another angle on our SELF, on our earthly life and walk. God gives us also His promises, encouragement, strengthening, hope and final victory. This is just as necessary, important and vital for us who struggle as anything else discussed above. I know from...

If you DO NOT DO the Word that you know, agree with and believe, It will do nothing for you and you will achieve nothing. You cannot even be blessed; rather, you will remain deceived within yourself even more. (Jam. 1:22-25) Had you not DONE the Word in Rom. 10:9-10 confessing with your mouth, which is a work of faith, you would not be...

I am furthermore constrained by the Spirit of the Almighty God to declare at this junction the following. Many, very many believers and their leaders believe, teach and preach that when a believer dies he goes straight to the Presence of the Lord. He “went to Heaven” or “he went to the Glory”, they say. REALLY?...

m) Very many Christians including those walking on the narrow way – the Overcomers – are found discouraged over many things. For the believers who are in the early stages of their Salvation, it may be many unanswered prayers, struggling with the same problems over and over again, lack of spiritual help or counsel for...

I am constrained at this point by the Spirit of God to bring forth another principle of God, which affects us all. Whenever God decides to speak to us through whomsoever He chooses, (Lk. 10:16) He gives us an OPPORTUNITY TO SEE our life, our deeds and ourselves as He sees us. Also, He gives us an OPPORTUNITY TO DO what...

Is it not Satan himself who is trying to outlaw spanking and disciplining of children on “humanistic” grounds? Is it not he that causes children to rule their parents? I am witnessing this new devilish system everywhere. Are we supposed to fight this system? Not at all! God tells us clearly “resist not evil” (Mt. 5:39) because,...
