The Will of God: A Christian’s Prime Motivation
There are so many people doing and saying things in the name of Jesus Christ, but what was the Lord’s prime motivation? The will of God. John 4:34 – Jesus saith unto them, My meat is to do the will of him that sent me, and to finish his work. Matt 26:39 – He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.” Eph 5:17 – Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 18 And do not be…

Walking According to the Spirit is not Optional
Anyone who is born again has been given a new faculty whereby he/she may know God, hear His voice from within, be led and empowered by Him, and it is essential this, your spirit, be catered to. This made-alive spirit, united as one with Jesus Christ’s Spirit, is who God addresses when He gives commands, instructions, comforts, and all communications from the Bible. God is dealing with us as new creatures, and to cultivate this reality from Day One of coming to Christ is God’s will, and there is no life outside of it. Eph 2:1-6 – And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins, 2…

When Adam tries to practice the faith of Christ – Audio
This stands to be an eye-opening message as it’s a commentary on the faith since the beginning in light of what the apostles of Christ sought to establish. It’s also a warning to any Christian of the conditions we live under in which the results the Almighty God said are possible are not happening. That is, evil is on the rise and the testimony of the church is too often not so great, nor are other fruits promised by God for those who’d take the narrow way of the fullness of the Apostles’ doctrine. The term “in Adam” (1 Cor 15:22) is a biblical reference to the “old man,” (Rom…

The natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God
1 Corinthians 2:14 – But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. God is love, He loves us, and He sent Jesus Christ to save us from ourselves and the sinful system of the world. We as natural-born people are made in His image, but the Word of God says sin has subtly corrupted humans who apart from Christ are spiritually cut off from Him. Until a person truly comes to Jesus and receives His life, His indwelling Holy Spirit, they are functioning from the basis of who…

Do You Act From the Old Creation or New Creation?
If you internalize what the Word of God says of the old and new creation, it stands to open your eyes to much that has confounded people about the troubles we see in life and the world of Christianity. It’s little secret that those who name Christ are vastly divided into sects and camps with widely varying pictures of what the faith ought to look like, who God is, what He wants of us, and what we may hope for from Him. From the beginning of the church in the first century, the Bible records the early Christians knew Christ Jesus was “Immanuel” or God with us. Matt 1:23 –…
