The problems begin when the mind becomes … Continue reading Partners with the Holy Spirit: Part #99 →

The vehicle for God and Christ on earth is man; in particular, man in the human body. The body houses the life-bearing spirit (the ruach) and the breath of life, which enables man to be an independent being. The Creator made a couple with reproductive seed.

And not to get off the narrow road they are on (Luke 13:24)? God even gave us the Law that raises our neighbor up to … Continue reading Partners with the Holy Spirit: Part #95 →

Jesus, the Son of God, was very adamant about the value and meaning of His Work and so will judgment be on every man’s work. Jesus has left His Redemptive Work in the hands of his followers. And therefore Jesus prayed thus:  “They are not of the world, even as I am not of the … Continue reading Partners with the Holy Spirit: Part #94 →

Jesus promised John the Baptist that “the deaf hear and the dead are raised up” (Matthew 11:5). These simple words open the door to a life everlasting with immensely huge blessings or curses, depending how a person responds to the voice of Jesus here on earth. Please read Jesus’ words in red letters, for they … Continue reading Partners with the Holy Spirit: Part #92 →

The death of Jesus, the Christ, on the cross was deliberate, planned, and executed by the Son of God Himself.  I am the good shepherd; I know my own and my own know me, as the Father knows me and I know the Father; and I lay down my life for the sheep. And I … Continue reading Partners With The Holy Spirit: Part #91  →
