THE GOOD NEWS—“IF the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit, who lives in you.” (Rom. 8:11)
That the DBR of Jesus is a stand alone gospel is absurd at best. Why is that good news? The real gospel of the kingdom (king dominion) is that after Messiah Jesus’ DBR: He was exalted as King & sent Spirit to you. [Ac 2.33-38] Spirit- anointed to be eternally resurrected. Ro 8.11

No wonder they are depressed, who could face such an overwhelming backlog of work, cheerfully.
“A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest — and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.” (Prov. 6:10–11)

“Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But God does not take away life; instead, he devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from him.” (2Sa 14:14)

“You have spent enough time in the past doing what pagans choose to do — living in debauchery, lust, drunkenness, orgies, carousing & detestable idolatry. They think it strange that you do not plunge with them into the same flood of dissipation, & they heap abuse on you.” 1Pe 4:3
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come.” “You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.” (Rev. 4:8;11)
The term BELIEVER refers not to one who believes in God but to one whose belief in the Gospel has resulted in a miraculous new birth regeneration. Believers trust, by faith, in a God with whom they are in relationship and in whom they abide.

“The LORD is exalted over all the nations, his glory above the heavens. Who is like the LORD our God, the One who sits enthroned on high, who stoops down to look on the heavens and the earth?”
(Psalm 113:4–6 NIV-GK)
On Twitter a couple of months, now. Pleasantly surprized by the number of fanatical, take- your- cross, holiness- preaching, Jesus freaks I am getting to know! Very encouraging with the world in melt- down. In Him is our Life found: He is risen, indeed!
“Like water spilled on the ground, which cannot be recovered, so we must die. But God does not take away life; instead, he devises ways so that a banished person may not remain estranged from him.” (2 Sam. 14:14)
This is a false teaching. Context of “God loved Jacob hated Esau” is patriarchal. God sovereignly chose Jacob to receive the double portion & blessing as patriarch over Esau. God blessed Esau to become a great nation, and he most likely went to heaven. Ham & Canaan in heaven.
Eternal security is not in your bible. Look it up. Cite chapter and verse. It is not there. Rather, our message is one of receiving the very Spirit of God & walking in continual submission to Him with the opportunity to repent each time you fail; to get back up & keep pressing.
“Paul came to Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, He said unto them, Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed?” (Acts 19:1-2)
Why is Paul asking this question of disciples if “and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost” is automatically part of conversion?
Did you know all the husband’s love your wives verses are “agape” love not “eros” love? Romance is as inconstant as the waxing & waning moon. Romantic love is not the foundation of marriage but covenant commitment that loves in action fidelity and support thru thick & thin.
Worship God with abandon! Our God is God. He is holy! He is worthy! He is awesome! There no God like Jehovah! Our God inhabits the praises of His people! Glory to God!
Do you pray in tongues or prophesy or lay hands on the sick or have you been raised from a sick bed as an invalid cured by exercising faith in the bible promise before seeing any outward sign of healing? or are you just a Sadducee outsider mocking the 700,000,000 tongue talkers?
Imagine you went into a church to hear the word of God but you encountered this instead. That was the ministry of K. Hagins. Nothing ‘Apostolic’ or ‘Biblical’ about this.
@JesusFreak_2_0
I don’t uses Hebrew names because I speak English and the God of languages divided men into various linguistic camps at Babel. God speaks all these languages and is not confused about who I am praying to or whose authority I assert in Jesus’ name.
The most important thing you can be as a witness is holy. Holiness does not come from abstaining from evil, alone; but from partaking of God’s presence 24/7.
“My son, pay attention to my wisdom, listen well to my words of insight, that you may maintain discretion and your lips may preserve knowledge.” (Prov. 5:1–2)
“But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.” (Matt. 9:13)
“And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!”
(Rom. 10:15)
“But covet earnestly the best gifts”
(1 Cor. 12:31)
“Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.” (1 Cor. 14:39)
Why is God urging you to covet these things unless He really wants you to endow you & activate them in you?
Your bible can never take the place of being led of the Spirit which literally supercedes the Law as a superior access to God. [2Co 3] Yet, your bible is a tether and plumbline “anchoring” your walk by faith in the Spirit to a firm foundation. We worship in Spirit & in truth.
Here we have a top level Reformed preacher admit openly He has zero experiential conversion or relationship with God. Instead, he assumes he is saved because his interest in the bible supposedly trumped interest in philosophy. Yet, Calvinism is philosophical bible deconstruction.
Notice cessationists believe in demonic spirits but reject the Holy Spirit as real and tangibly interactive with believers. It is because Holy Spirit is not interacting with them cuz they are not believers but skeptics.
Every time we obey the lust of the flesh, we have hardened our hearts against the voice of the Spirit in an act of unbelief. Faith believes obeying the Spirit will be life & reward & that disobedience is unbelief.
If you fall, don’t binge; repent quickly & continue with God.
Praying for the sick means commanding healing & commanding sickness, infirmity, spirits to go. Don’t bother asking or begging God to do what He already gave you authority to do.
He been watching Ken Hagin YT lately & about to go back and read his books again. I think one reason the young generation of Charismatic/prophetic churches are flaky is lack of word of faith foundation. Before my generation ever moved into prophesying etc we were bible- thumpers.
Embracing OSAS necessarily implies LGBTQ, adulterers, swindlers, fornicators, slanderers that confess Jesus is Lord are A-okay to continue in immorality.
The bible never gives husbands authority to dominate wives. It commands them to love wives. It commands wives to voluntarily submit to husbands. If either does not do this: it does not authorize rebellion. You will stand alone at judgment. Do your duty regardless of spouse.
@Truth_matters20
A shocking number of people have a scriptural arsenal of three to ten verses that define their “set in stone”theology and no amount of citing “those other verses” can shake their firm ideology.
Protestants do not believe in transubstantiation ie that priests can turn crackers into Christ by waving incense in the general direction of crackers. However, that does not mean there is no presence of God or grace or power in the Lord’s Supper. We should do all the NT by faith.
One of the reasons twitter gets people riled is they have never had to put the theology their church is teaching into an environment where it will be put under brutal adversarial scrutiny. It is actually very heathy for the common believer to learn to handle the word of God.
@proverbs31helen
Indeed, the central feature of the mark is open idolatry toward a false beast and beast system. It is not accidental idolatry disguised as medicine that men take with a motive of preventing illness or to prevent spreading illness. Its actual medicinal value is moot.
OSAS is utterly misguided. Hosea bought his adulterous wife on the slave market. Likewise, God paid with Christ’s blood (to purchase on the slave market) idolatrous slaves to sin & death. Your life is not your own, you owe fealty to your Master who bought you. Jesus is Lord.
@Old_Old_Path
I bind the spirit of strife and the spirit of witchcraft and command these spirits to cease their operation and to leave Kay and every wee child and every relationship in Kay’s sphere in Jesus’ mighty name! I command peace to rest upon Kay’s household!
God’s word on flaunting perversion:
“In a similar way, Sodom and Gomorrah and the surrounding towns gave themselves up to sexual immorality and perversion. They serve as an example of those who suffer the punishment of eternal fire.” (Jude 1:7)
When you call any Christian prophet a false prophet you face serious judgment by being held to the same perfection standard by God. The measure you use will be used on you. Likewise, extend grace to wrong teachers who err as 100% do. A false teacher has corrupt intent.
“Are all apostles? are all prophets? are all teachers? are all workers of miracles? Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?”(1 Cor. 12:29-30)
Why is working of miracles listed separately from apostles if power gifts are limited to apostles?
The Holy Spirit is omnipresent. He may be so omnipresent, He holds together every atom in our bodies. Yet, the bible speaks of being born of the Spirit, filled with, baptized with, anointed with, receive the gift of. Do not say: “I already received.” Say, “more please.”
True happiness & fulfillment comes from worshipping God. Not seeking God leads to something missing, gnawing anxiety, lack of fulfillment, disillusionment. Give God quality time. Crucify the flesh by stilling the mind— focusing the heart & mind in devotion. Invite His presence.
God did not pay our ransom to buy us as gospel worker slaves; He paid with His own blood to adopt us as Sons (daughters.) As sons we rest in blessing and loving union with God that draws ire from men and devils. Dear bride of Christ: Jesus is not a wife beater.
“‘In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy…Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy.” (Ac2:17-18)
CESSATIONISTS—where are these prophecies in Word?
“So if the whole church comes together and everyone speaks in tongues” (1 Cor. 14:23) Why does the Spirit inspire this idea if not everyone CAN receive activation of tongues?
James and Galatians are not at odds. They are polemics addressing opposite errors. James is written to the libertarian while Galatians is written to the legalist. You are not under law; grace is not a license to sin.
“Immediately after the tribulation…they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory. And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect” (Matt. 24:29–31)
Jesus did not deal with unbelievers the way He dealt with believing sinners. Not everyone is in the valley of decision. Jesus gave the kingdom to the fully surrendered; He gave appetizing parables to the consuming masses; He gave shrewd rebuke to the unbelieving opposition.
Dead religion focuses on reforming the flesh to have godly character; Worshipping in Spirit & truth means denying the flesh can be reformed, reconning it dead, focusing instead on manifesting the living Holy Spirit in power: No longer I that live but Christ lives in and thru me.
“Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; & yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. If God clothes the grass, which is today in the field, and tomorrow is cast into the oven; how much more will he clothe you?”
While I have prayed Joshua 1.8 hundreds if not thousands of times, I have always understood it in a New Testament context. I meditate in the Word day and night not to observe it as Law but to renew my mind to God’s ways & to arm the Spirit with scripture He may bring to mind.
@AaronInWriting
To be a second Adam, Jesus had to become fully man and be temptable and potentially sin as Adam but not do it. It had to be real to be legal. Understanding that the cross was entirely a legal maneuver before angels as much as men is key in grasping its parameters.
Tongues is to the real visions & anointing of the Holy Spirit as spice is to Dune visions & power. Real hallcinogens do not ever cause or enhance God communion or God communications. Want the real? Speak in tongues more, a lot more, hours more, every day. Everytime you are alone.
I must pause from X to go bow down and worship the decorated tree in my living room. Cuz that is why most people put up a Christmas tree. It is an idol overlaid with silver icicles.
Penitent confession: we dont use icicles; does that violate official idol protocol?
🙄🧐🤨😑
New birth includes receipt of the sanctifying Spirit of God who works in us both to will and act according to God’s purpose. [Phil 2.13] Holiness cannot be attained by human effort; yet, cooperation is required. We must ever submit to God & resist both flesh & devil to overcome.
The “nothing really happens in baptism cuz the thief” crowd fail to consider that perhaps baptism has to do with walking in consecration this side of death and was therefore less urgent for a thief on death cross. He had no need of Spirit baptism anointing in power, either. 🧐
Double Down—
Not only was Mary of Magdela the first to preach the gospel of Jesus’ resurrection, she was also specifically commissioned & sent by Jesus, Himself. He sent her to preach the good news to the men holding the most important seats of power in the Church.
Idleness is likely the most pervasive sin in Western Culture. Were people busy doing their duties, they would have no time, or opportunity to fall into addiction, promiscuity or perversion. My parents’ generation were early to bed, early to rise & ended up healthy wealthy & wise.
Charles Finney’s Spirit baptism—
“The Holy Spirit seemed to go thru me, body & soul. I could feel the impression, like a wave of electricity, going thru & thru me. Indeed it seemed to come in waves of liquid love, for I could not express it in any other way.”
As an old man Spirit baptized in 84, my big advice for you young men & ladies is speak in tongues a lot lot more. It is very slow but powerful like nothing else. It is THE gift of the Spirit for you. All others are for others. I wish I prayed in tongues without ceasing 40 years.
The Word that became flesh was not the bible but the 2nd person of Trinity that proceeded as a word from the Father to become a man. The bible is the word of God which proceeded from men speaking prophetically by the 3rd person of Trinity. These two words accord but are distinct.
“But the SAME DAY that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed. In that day…Two men shall be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.”
(Lk 17:29-36)
I said this two weeks ago but while speaking of bodily healing it should be noted that Satan afflicted Job but God delivered Job within weeks not years. Job is honored in NT for perseverance in not fainting before the deliverance arrived. Took 21 days for angel to reach Daniel.
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” (John 16:33)
Why are Christians unsettled or shocked by rising antisemitic & antichrist attitudes? Jesus told us in advance.
@godlywomanhood
The idea that patriarchal implies domineering is false unless by domineering one means in authority. Actually, contrary to popular belief: Patriarch refers to a family man, a grandfather figure. Patri means father, not man. Rule by fathers. The stereotype of God is a grandfather.
Gossip is the most overlooked sin in the kingdom of God; yet, it is so perasive that deacon’s wives are admonished to watch themselves to avoid malicious talk. However, gossip is in no way limited to women. We must not let ourselves feed on salacious tabloids or tabloid TV.
“And we also thank God continually because, when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men, but as it actually is, the word of God.” (1Th 2:13)
THEY WEREN’T HANDING OUT BIBLES: THIS REFERS TO PREACHING & TEACHING.
“But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.” (John 4:23)
“How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down upon the collar of his robes. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion.” (Psa. 133:1–3)
Get hungry saint of God! Daniel fasted and pressed God in prayer for three weeks before getting an answer to his prayer. Be willing to pray the price in seeking God. Is that works? No! It is obedience: God is the one who said He would be found by whole- hearted God- seekers!
Who is of the devil, you or Ken? This man spent his life preaching Christ as Lord with signs following making converts and disciples that preach Jesus Christ with signs following. Ken married once with children & grand children who are disciples of Christ with signs following.
Of course, God made the first move. He promised messiah, & instituted forward- looking animal sacrifice beginning by made skin garments for Adam & Eve. “God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.”
(Ro 5:8) Gospel to every creature.
Bragging about drug use— I can drink you under the table, huck, huck! “Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine and champions at mixing drinks.” (Is. 5:22)
In one thread. we have the “bible is the only voice of God” people; on another thread: “you can’t rely on the bible to be accurate cuz 400 years after events” people. We do not believe cuz of bible; we believe the bible cuz we have received the Spirit who wrote it.
“And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must “I do” to be saved? And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.”
(Ac 16:30-31)
What YOU MIUST DO? Exercise faith to receive Jesus as Lord.
While you are at it receive the Holy Spirit.
God did not create man and place him in a temple but in a garden where he had the responsibility to tend it. Jesus left earth saying occupy till I come. He gave the parable of talents emphasizing productivity as good stewards of His kingdom business in His absence. Get a job.
Pray in tongues. He that prays in tongues edifies, builds, strengthens, fortifies, empowers, charges, stirs himself. Tongues builds a charge of anointing in & upon the speaker enabling dreams, visions, prophesying, healing, impartation & preaching with a release of holy power.
Satan has firm control of all the levers of US power and is firmly entrenched and advancing to totalitarian enslavement of the populace. Don’t naively think a scheduled election will be enough to stop evil spirits from empowering evil men to do anything to stop it again.
Newsflash—Yoga is the central practice of Hindu idolatry violating the 1st commandment: a capital crime in OT. Chanting Hindu mantras summons the gods to inhabit one’s being. Want to be demonized? Do Yoga.
Testimony—As a young believer full of burning zeal, I liked to go pray in the church; so, I desperately wanted a key to the church. I prayed diligently for a key. My pastor pulled me aside & said, “I have a job for you. Let’s see you will need a key.” Job: be 1st & last steward.
You are incorrect. Not everyone has diverse tongues/ interpretation gift to bring a message from God to the church. Every Spirit anointed believer receives the ability to pray to God from his inner spirit man in tongues by receipt of that anointing. [1Co 14.14]
No one was scrutinizing Jesus’ life till He showed up with the anointing of power. Immediately all eyes fixed on Him looking for any flaw in his character. We must press into & release the Holy Spirit’s anointing; yet we dare not neglect consecrated holiness in the fear of God.
God needs nothing. He seeks intimate relationships with sons (daughters) that transcend duty works deeds & even obedience. If God merely wanted obedience, He would get a dog. God wants more than the faithfulness & obedience of servants. He wants to share Himself & be understood.
