The Ten Problem-Solving Devices Of The Christian Way Of Life

Image
   There is no problem that would ever occur in the Christian’s life that cannot be managed to a successful resolution by application through faith of one or more of these Ten Biblical Problem Solving Devices:   1. Confession of Sin: Nothing in the Christian way of life will work if the believer has unconfessed sin in their life. As per 1 John 1:9, we are commanded to confess our sins to God alone. This then brings about:   2. The Filling of the Holy Spirit: Mandated in Ephesians 5:18, every believer is ordered to execute God's plan by means of imputed divine power, never human energy.   3.The Faith-Rest Drill: Using the faith that the believer had to accept the grace gift of salvation, the believer can now claim some of the over 7000 promises made to the believer to give him courage, strength in God, and peace of mind. Remember, one cannot claim promises that they do not know, so Bible study is necessary to learn the promises as well as learn about the veracity...

Promises For Your Faith-Rest Drill

Image
Bible doctrine is taught by a pastor/teacher either live or be some medium (tape, internet, books, ect.). The Holy Spirit takes the information and communicates it to the human spirit. The believer’s positive volition and concentration gives the Holy Spirit permission to teach the information to the human spirit. The information is now academic understanding (Pneumatika). Once the information is understood, the Holy Spirit transfers it to the left lobe and it becomes (Gnosis-knowledge). Faith of belief causes the Holy Spirit to transfer the information to the right lobe of the Kardea where it becomes (Epignosis-superknowledge). The application of the information is then the issue, and this is where the faith rest drill comes in. When a believer is confronted with an exigency, basic Christian modus operandi is to first utilize 1 John 1:9 and confess your sins to God alone. That way, you regain the filling of the Holy Spirit, which is the power source for all that follows.   Then, mo...

Why Are We Here?: The Appeal Trail Of Satan

Image
  Before the creation of mankind, God created a vast angelic host, unseen today but still very real. (Col. 1:16) The preeminent angel was “Lucifer, Son Of The Morning” (Isa. 14:12). He was the most dazzling creature of Light ever to be created by God. His radiant beauty was breathtaking in its perfection. His voice was resonant and melodious. His wisdom was way beyond mortal comprehension. His clothing was made of iridescent light studded with priceless jewels. God appointed him to the exalted position of honor guard to His throne (Ezek. 28:13-14) Lucifer should have responded to his supreme honor and privilege with utter devotion to his creator, but instead he became narcissistic, enamored with his own importance. Lucifer felt that such brilliance and beauty shouldn’t be subservient to anyone. This spark of arrogance was the first sin, and it ignited the flames of power lust as Lucifer grew increasingly dissatisfied with the position God had sovereignly assigned him. He craved God...

Christianity vs. Religion And The Three-Phase Plan Of God

Image
  Christianity is a relationship between God and man based on the work of Christ on the cross. God offers all and humans receive the gift. God is free to do all He does for us because of the intersession of Jesus Christ on the cross.   Religion, in all its forms, is man’s attempt to gain salvation or approval of God through works. Man offers something and God rejects it. Religion is Satan’s attempt to convince people that man can do something for salvation. In other words, Christianity is God reaching out to mankind; Religion is mankind trying to reach out to God.   The Three-Phase Plan of God: 1) Salvation: Salvation is given by God’s grace to all who will accept the gift through faith alone in Christ alone. Two words derived from the Koine Greek word group “pistuo” are “ pistis” and “pistuo”.   Pistuo: word group Very important in debunking the idea that one is not eternally secure in salvation through faith alone in Christ alone. Faith: Pistus (noun) Believe (verb...
