    Growing in Christ

    Dear Kingdomwalk: There are cycles - ups and downs - in all of life, are there not? We breathe in and we breathe out, the earth has seasons of winter, spring, summer and fall, the sap in a tree withdraws to the roots and rises to the branches, dependent upon the time of year. This is the way...

    Growing in Christ

    Hi Surviving: I agree (as does James) that controlling the tongue is nearly impossible for us to accomplish under our own efforts. Praise God we are not limited to our own efforts, however! His Spirit lives within us and He is more than able to to do what we cannot. Part of my daily prayer is...

    Growing in Christ

    My Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ: I praise God for you all, for He is using your words of faith and love to me to bring to completion a work He has been performing in me for some time. And I admit, it is a completion that I both desire and fear, for it is a dealing with my flesh that...

    Growing in Christ

    Hi Saints: Thank you all for your encouragement and wise advice. The Lord continues to bless me through you and I appreciate that beyond what I can express. You have found me out, that while I can forgive others easily, I am always hardest on myself. It is only God's grace given us in Christ...

    Growing in Christ

    Hi All: First, I must apologize to you all, for I just read my last post and realized why Holy Spirit has been bothering me...especially all last night...pushing me to check this thread. I was at work when I wrote it and kept getting distracted, and I was not paying close attention to the...

    Growing in Christ

    Hi Saints: Pilgrim, I just want you to know that I take what you say seriously, and with a keen sense of responsibility toward you and others who read this thread. Jesus said He would send us the Spirit of Truth, and I believe that is what He did. I also believe we are held accountable to Him...

    Growing in Christ

    Hi All: Driving home yesterday, I was thinking about what you all have written concerning the Cross...and this is what came out last night. I have come to believe in the existence of a group of people whom the Bible calls "the elect" or "saints", a group that is very special to the Lord, and...

    Growing in Christ

    Hi Vasile: I am not sure exactly what you desire to know about the baptism of the Holy Spirit, and I am sure there are many others who have far more knowledge than I, but I will do my best to write as the Spirit leads. The baptism of the Holy Spirit is one of those blessings meant to...

    Growing in Christ

    Hi LFoxx: Praising God will give you the most immediate results, as the enemy hates hearing that. Developing a constant and continuous habit of praise will soften your attitude towards the Lord such that an awareness of His Presence within you and around you will be stronger than anything...

    Growing in Christ

    Hi Count: Pseud is correct in that I have not written here in quite some time. I stopped for a variety of reasons, but most important was my obedience to Him when He told me to leave it alone for a time. Several times in my life the Lord has blessed me with some small "successes" in various...

    Following the Way

    How Not To Follow The Way Hi Saints: As always, your encouragement and prayers are greatly appreciated and needed. And I sincerely thank you for them. I have always loved to read; even as a kid I wanted to understand everything, so I learned early to "look it up" (as my father would tell...

    Following the Way

    Mark 10:15 - "In all truth, I say to you, Whoever does not receive the kingdom of God in the manner of a young child shall by no means enter into it." The Lord said to me the other morning, "I want you to wash My feet." "Sir?” I asked, not sure if I heard Him correctly. And though He said...

    Hi Saints: Luke 10:22 - All things have been handed over to Me by My Father, and no one knows who the Son is except the Father, and who the Father is except the Son, and anyone to whom the Son wills to reveal Him. In the training of both men and animals there are commands of action ("Go")...

    Growing in Christ

    Hi Saints: Mirth, thank you for your kind words; I am doing well - just allowing the Lord to "have His way with me" - continuing to learn and grow in Him as He leads me. Godschild, your message touched me this morning, and the Lord has prompted me to share an incident that I pray will be a...

    Growing in Christ

    Hi Saints: May God richly bless you all for your encouragement and mostly for your continued seeking to be made "blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ." I am so blessed by each one of you in my spirit and inspired by you in my own spiritual growth in Christ. Matthew 5:6 - "Blessed...

    Growing in Christ

    Hi Saints: More than I can ever express, each one of you whom the Lord leads to grow spiritually from these writings are a true blessing to me - especially those who respond so encouragingly. As always, I deeply appreciate each of you. Some years ago an older man was telling me a story about...

    Growing in Christ

    Hey Pseud: Thank you, glad to be back. I just re-read your post over Thanksgiving and am reminded again why I am the "least one" in God's family: I seem to learn so slowly! Truly I think I am in His "special ed" class of those He must teach the same things over and over and over again! It is...
