A Permanent Habitation

by

Reflections If I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. (John 16:7) The Holy Spirit dwelt IN no one before Acts 2. Jesus clearly stated that the Comforter could not come until He ascended. Of course not. Jesus had to ascend before He could come back down through the Spirit and dwell within His people. Acts 2 also began the New Covenant of, “Christ in us,” and began the church. All of these were the result of a permanent habitation in people of Christ through His Spirit. …

The Thousand Year Reign – by Jack Kinsella

by

Scripture reveals that there are still two Dispensations remaining between now and the destruction of universe and its replacement with the ‘new heavens’ and ‘new earth’ as described by the Apostle Peter. “But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.” (2nd Peter 3:10) Peter refers to this as the “Day of the Lord” and later, the “Day of God” (2nd Peter …

The Heavens Opened to Ezekiel Ezekiel 1:1-3  “1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God. 2In the fifth day of the month, which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin’s captivity, 3the word of Jehovah came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of Jehovah was there upon him.” (ASV, 1901) …

“Let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall.”-1 Corinthians 10:12

by

It is a curious fact, that there is such a thing as being proud of grace. A man says, “I have great faith, I shall not fall; poor little faith may, but I never shall.” “I have fervent love,” says another, “I can stand, there is no danger of my going astray.” He who boasts of grace has little grace to boast of. Some who do this imagine that their graces can keep them, knowing not that the stream must flow constantly from the fountain head, or else the brook will soon be dry. If a continuous stream of oil …

  Matthew 11:28-30 (KJV) 28 Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

I am going to get right down inside this thing. What is a Christian?

by

from “The School of Christ,” by T. Austin-Sparks, ch. 2 I am going to get right down inside this thing. What is a Christian? Is a Christian one who was not a very good tempered person, but is now good-tempered; not a very genial person, but is now very much more genial; a person who was not very zealous, but is now very zealous; a person who is different in disposition from what he was formerly. Is that a true definition of a Christian? Give me a homeopathic cabinet. Bring along to me a very irritable person. Give him a …
