The Great Chasm

There is a great chasm that divides the physical realm and the spiritual realm. God is spirit. So there must be some kind of a spiritual environment just as we have the physical environment. God says heaven is his throne, so heaven must really be awesome because that is where God dwells. We get a glimpse in the book of revelations because it says there that the streets there are paved with gold.

But apparently, there is a great chasm that divides heaven and earth because it is impossible for us to cross to the other side. Not until we die. And surprisingly, the guys in the heavenlies can cross over. Angels can manifest themselves. Unclean spirits can manifest themselves. God can manifest himself. And what is more is that God has blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. So how do we get those blessings since our physical bodies seems to be incapable of crossing into the heavenly places?

It just occurred to me... that all wonderful saying of the Lord, "my words are spirit and they are life." It is through the Word of God that we are able to access the heavenlies! By confessing His words, we access the spiritual realms! When we speak a heavenly language, we cross over!

And so I have resolved in my heart, whatever the circumstance is, still I will confess what the Bible says. If God is says I am blessed, no situation on earth can make me confess the opposite! I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me! No weapon fashioned against me shall prosper! And about Zion, as the Prophet Isaiah declares: "And the inhabitant shall not say, I am sick: the people that dwell therein shall be forgiven their iniquity."

Come to think of it, I have crossed over. : )

The Genealogy and the Gospel of Christ

That I have been introduced to two individuals now who strongly subscribe to John Calvin’s doctrines has got me thinking seriously about this subject. And so for more than a couple of months now, my reading of the Scriptures has been greatly influenced and directed towards the subject of election and predestination and God’s exercise of His absolutely sovereign  will. The book of genealogies never appealed to me and I never really got any significance from it. But today as I read through those genealogies again, something hit me really strongly. The book of genealogies actually is evidence of the move of the mighty hand of God to preserve a people for Himself. In Genesis chapter 5, at verse 4 it says: “The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters.” I asked myself: What about the other sons and daughters were they not significant to God? The answer came rather quickly. They were all significant, but Seth was more significant because ...

Transcribing Kathryn Kuhlman

 "It means something to be a Christian. It means something to be born again. It’s something more than just shedding of your tears. It’s much more than just kneeling down and saying a prayer. This thing of being a Christian is a life; it’s an experience; it’s a day-by-day proposition. And you haven’t really learned how to live; you have no real purpose in life; there is no real purpose for you in living; until you have been born again." "It cost everything. If you really want to know the price; if you really want to know the price, I’ll tell you. It’d cost you everything. Kathryn Kuhlman died a long time ago. I know the day, I know the hour, I can go to the spot where Kathryn Kuhlman died. But you see for me it was easy; because I had nothing." "You can only know His perfect will, and He'll only make intercession for you before the Father's throne, seeking the will of God on your behalf, when you get to a place where you have no will of your own. And...

Strengthening ROL

There are many doctrines that we do not know about, and some of them I am also just learning right now. But they are not really necessary and I believe that a Christian doesn't need to know all of them because most of these doctrines are actually devices by the enemy. But we must be fully grounded in the truth so that we may be able to test each of these doctrines when they come around. I am confident that we have the Holy Spirit in us and so we know the truth. What we know cannot be wrong because we know whom we learned them from. It may be that we know only a few things, but these few things always align themselves to the truth because we have received them from the Spirit himself. The teaching that “once saved always saved” really doesn't hold and the doctrine easily crumbles at the words of our Lord in the beginning chapters of the book of Revelations: Rev 2:5   Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto t...
