    Are You A Soldier Under Command? Part 2

    Are You A Soldier Under Command? Part 2 Is being a soldier of Christ about simply following one's "leadings," or is it about receiving clear directives from the Holy Spirit on where to go, when to go there, and what to do when you arrive? This may be a bit of an uncomfortable set of questions...

    Are You A Soldier Under Command? Part 1

    Are You A Soldier Under Command? Part 1 Believers of all stripes need to ask themselves a question: Why will the end-time army of God be characterized by prophetic gifts, i.e. by operating in prophecy, dreams and visions, as is stated in Joel 2:28? The primary reason is because they will be...

    Warning: Pray For President Trump!

    As posted by a friend (Mailman Dan) elsewhere. Appears they have not quit with this business yet: https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/11/breaking-bomb-threat-vote-counting-center-orange-county/

    Charismatic Bible Studies - 1 Peter 3:1-7

    Man your posts are good sometimes, LoL. There can be so much going on, and again it takes the gifts to navigate situations like this. As a leader you have to be able to monitor those around you. Where are they spiritually? Are they susceptible to the enemy right now? Could they be manipulated...

    Charismatic Bible Studies - 1 Peter 3:1-7

    Yeah, and this is humility in action to admit this. I felt led to divulge some secret stuff to a sister a few months ago that was NOT good. Secrets I hadn't shared with anyone, and not something I think most people could handle. But we made it through it, and it has opened the door up to some...

    Isn't that something? The Spirit of God Himself was calling her out but she didn't wanna own it... My guess would be that people in those circumstances may also have sin working in their lives that they don't want getting exposed either if it might be connected to their illness, so they just...

    Charismatic Bible Studies - 1 Peter 3:1-7

    Man this is so true. New Testament services involved participation, not spectating. Congregations just LIGHT UP when you allow them to participate. The problem comes when they don't keep order. You will have some who will go on and on at length and none of it is anointed. You will have some who...

    I should also note that I felt a little sorry for him after the service, because my wife said he mentioned toward the end for the congregation to pray for him because he had been working too hard and needed a vacation. I think he was feeling that way in part because he thought he had missing...

    Charismatic Bible Studies - 1 Peter 3:1-7

    Yes. There is a... I suppose I would call it a confidence involved, given that you are out on a limb having no idea whether what you are saying is truly from God or not. And this is true of even seasoned prophets. Case in point: I was in a Hispanic church service and there was a visiting prophet...

    Charismatic Bible Studies - 1 Peter 3:1-7

    Yes. Well it is clear from 1st Corinthians 7 that Paul believed the end of things was at hand, so he urged that they stop worrying about this life and focus on the one that was coming, saying, "For the rest, let those who are married be as though not married, for the mode of this life is passing...

    Charismatic Bible Studies - 1 Peter 3:1-7

    Hmm... well I definitely agree that it was never about seeking to become "top dog," cuz as the scripture says, "Let Him who boasts boast in the Lord," meaning we would never have anything to boast in in and of ourselves. But when he was talking about seeking greater gifts, he specifically said...

    Takes faith to trust God sometimes, LoL! Note to self: When looking for wallet, always check heating vent first. Don't argue, just do it, LoL.

    Charismatic Bible Studies - 1 Peter 3:1-7

    Yes, and thanks for responding. Christianity actually WAS a step towards greater equality in New Testament times, and I believe the influence of Christianity is what has led to wives and women having greater freedoms and greater protection under law. The thing is, I think Satan got behind that...

    Bible Study A Vessel of Honor

    Blessings in Christ, sister, and reading this out in full was a nice way to wake up this morning. I remember when I first got born again, it was not long after that that I remember kneeling down in prayer when I was in a college dorm room and telling Him that I wanted the wisdom to lead His...

    I need to catch up on your answers again, Randy. As usual I got behind in a hurry and haven't responded to most of it yet. I will try to respond tomorrow. Blessings in Christ, Hidden

    You know, it is just dawning on me after reading this answer what the apostle Paul may have been referring to when he told the Corinthians that a married person will have more trouble. The single person is more free to seek God with everything he or she has, especially regarding seeking the...

    In was talking with Randy about this some. I was once of the opinion that this struck me as what I used to call "priming the pump" a little too much, but I'm not sure I'm of that opinion any more. I've seen this done with success with my own eyes. The caveat is that the brother who immediately...

    Charismatic Bible Studies - 1 Peter 3:1-7

    Welcome to the study, sister, and thanks for participating! The question of what Deborah's husband was up to is a very interesting one. It's actually possible that she didn't have one, based on the way Hebrew works. There's a Quora on this, and it states the following, and thank you again for...

    Charismatic Bible Studies - 1 Peter 3:1-7

    Yep, and very well put again, Randy. I think there are multiple reasons as well. One of them I think is their carnality has not been brought under enough. Sad to say, but I think the flesh reigns more than it should, and there are many who simply couldn't be trusted with greater gifts cuz they...

    Charismatic Bible Studies - 1 Peter 3:1-7

    Exactly. Not everyone understands the context today, but Christian husbands in New Testament times were sometimes risking their lives to teach their wives the word, and raise them up in His fulness, in the gifts and in wisdom and in the fruit of the Spirit, walking in power in Him. The husbands...
