The most repeated phrase in the bible
Dave in Tenn:
I've almost died once already and it really wasn't all that bad. I've come through on the other side of a number of bad experiences. I didn't enjoy them, but here I am on the other side, wiser and happier if only a bit.. Nothing that can befall me can make me more than temporarily uncomfortable in the grand scheme of things. So, honestly, I don't "fear". I don't even fear failure to be unafraid. All of everything is of Him, by Him and for Him. I'm clay, no matter what.
Dave in Tenn:
Yes, Dennis, I think that's true. It's the whole point of faith, as far as I'm concerned.
Porter:
Exactly Dave! When Jesus says: “do not be afraid” He is essentially saying to have faith or that He will give faith where we have none.
Musterseed:
An excerpt from — The Apostles said unto the Lord— “increase our faith”
Rays cloned voice—— “Does anyone who is familiar with our ministry and work
doubt that the spiritually dead are being raised back to a life of faith and
obedience?”
Luke 17:5….. The apostles said to the Lord “ increase our faith” ;
All glory to God 💕
Porter:
--- Quote from: Musterseed on August 18, 2024, 01:27:04 PM ---As He is so are we …… yes we are the heavens as Ray stated in Gospel of the Kingdom which is also Gospel of the Heavens/ elect who are being judged now.
Ray said ( I believe in His teaching on Gehenna) “that judgement IS the second
death and that the second death is judgement “. Then wouldn’t that mean that the elect are experiencing the second death now ( I die daily) with all the firey trials
spoken by Peter?
--- End quote ---
Yes, I do believe His Elect are experiencing a second death now in this age, or that they will at least experience two deaths in this age; a death of the carnal mind and then a physical death.
As for Luke 21:36, you will escape if you “stay alert” as Jesus commanded. But what does that mean to “stay alert”? It's no different from another parable.
Mat 24:15 "So when you see the abomination that causes desolation, spoken of by the prophet Daniel, standing in the holy place" (let the reader understand),
Mat 24:16 "then those in Judea must flee to the mountains!
Mat 24:17 A man on the housetop must not come down to get things out of his house.
Mat 24:18 And a man in the field must not go back to get his clothes.
The message is to get to high ground and stay there.
Heb 6:1 Therefore, leaving the elementary message about the Messiah, let us go on to maturity, not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, faith in God,
Heb 6:2 teaching about ritual washings, laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment.
Heb 6:3 And we will do this if God permits.
Heb 6:4 For it is impossible to renew to repentance those who were once enlightened, who tasted the heavenly gift, became companions with the Holy Spirit,
Heb 6:5 tasted God's good word and the powers of the coming age,
Heb 6:6 and who have fallen away, because, to their own harm, they are recrucifying the Son of God and holding Him up to contempt.
When Ray taught us of the Spirit, it woke us up when we believed. We became aware of who we are inside, and we probably didn't like it. So when Jesus says to, “stay alert” He is telling us to stay alive and not die to the same things we were before He raised us to life with Him.
2Pe 2:20 For if, having escaped the world's impurity through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in these things and defeated, the last state is worse for them than the first.
2Pe 2:21 For it would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness than, after knowing it, to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them.
2Pe 2:22 It has happened to them according to the true proverb: A dog returns to its own vomit, and, "a sow, after washing itself, wallows in the mud."
There is a tremendous amount of spiritual truth in the passages I have cited, but I'm trying to learn how to keep it short and simple by sticking to one thing at a time.
Again, the idea is to endure the “world” while in heaven with Jesus.
