Recent Extra Thoughts.

  • Don’t You Dare Sit there and Only Sip on Some Water - Don’t you dare sit there and only sip on some water and think you are honoring your God. The more you partake, the more you honor Him.
  • Drive Out and Take Possession - When you cross the Jordan River into the land of Canaan,  you must drive out all the people living there. … Take possession of the land and settle in it,because I have given it to you to occupy. Exodus 33:51-53 NLT In Salvation Jesus saves us and we do nothing. This is typified with Israel crossing the […]
  • As Strange as it Sounds, the Bible is For You - And as strange as it sounds, even the bible is for you
  • Humility Without Exaltation Does Not Exist - show me a man whom God has exalted, and I will show you a humble man. Why is this the cause? Because if you humble yourself, God will exalt you.
  • A Summary of the History of Logic (philosophy) - Logic is what makes math works. Like math, logic is knowing and applying the principles learned. One does not need to know the history of math or logic to understand how to apply the principle of addition or subtraction. The same is for philosophy. Knowing and applying the principles is the important part, knowing the […]
  • Outsiders Beg; Kings Command - The important thing to do when praying is to not hedge your prayer in uncertainty and unbelief. Leave no room for your prayer to not be answered, because God has already convinced Himself to give you what you ask
  • “What I’m about to tell you is true. - Jesus saying He will build His church with Peter's declaration that He is the Son of God, and this expansion of His kingdom will be so unstoppable that the gates of hell will not prevail against it.
  • All Authority Has Been Given to Me - All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore...
  • Father, You LOVE them as much as you Love Me - He says as much as the Father loves Him, the Father loves us. He says the glory/value the Father gave Jesus, He has given to us.
  • God does not Listen to Sinners - “We know God does not listen to sinners.” -Former blind man Jesus, not the WCF, but God’s test of orthodoxy is asking for whatever you want and then getting this from Him (John 14-16). This is something only children and insiders and do. It is not something the religious traditionalists can mimic by washing the […]
  • Because we Know God Served us - We will not serve God like Martha, because we know God served us and gave us His favor, sonship and righteousness. Thus, we will sit at His feet and keep receiving His unmerited supply.
  • I AM a Grasshopper? - When God thinks of me, He thinks I am holy; He thinks I am righteous with His righteousness, blameless, and empowered with His power; God thinks I am amazing and glorious. Who am I to disregard God unless I'm a reprobate?
  • Word of Faith - Speaking on the human level, your healing is not with God, but has already been deposited to your account. It's already yours. Faith is the request order to get what belongs to you.
  • ‘The kingdom of heaven has come near.’ - But if it is by the Spirit of God that I drive out demons, then the kingdom of God has come upon you. Matthew 12:28 NIV
  • Who Or What does Prayer Change? - The teaching that prayer changes the person (inward growth and not material miracle) is a Buddhist and Eastern teaching. What does change? I prayed for healing and then my “body changed.” This happens, because “God is unchangeable” in being faithful to preform His promise. When I pray for financial help, then my finances change to […]
  • Strength to My Bones - His word, even His prophetic words are where we get the terms for permanent, faithful and true.
  • The More Wishes, the More the Kingdom of God Grows - The more answered wishes, the more joy grows in His disciples (Jesus thinks this is important).
  • I HAVE HEARD YOUR PRAYER: Faith is Certainty - Faith is not a wishful hope of possible outcomes; rather, faith is the absolute certainty of a particular outcome promised by God.
  • NO FEAR, ONLY FAITH & DELIVERANCE - I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. Psalms 34:4 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear. 1 John 4:18 In the above two verses, we see a clear theme. John says God’s love delivers us from the wrath of God so that […]
  • Do Not Accept the Circumstances God has Ordain for You - Jesus commands us to not stop praying until God gives us what we want, and what we want is the circumstance God ordained to vanish.  
  • Cut From The Same Rock - “Listen to me, you who pursue righteousness and who seek the Lord: Look to the rock from which you were cut and to the quarry from which you were hewn; look to Abraham, your father, and to Sarah, who gave you birth. When I called him he was only one man, and I blessed him […]
  • A Miracle is an End to Itself - One small miracle by a Charismatic by faith is more valuable than 1000 Reformed sermons.
  • One on One Ministry with Jesus - I have been sick the last week. When I had the mental strength, I would ask for healing and praise God for helping me. However, I did not receive the instant healing I was asking for and didn’t know what was hindering it. Then today I felt well enough to walk and pray in tongues. […]
  • Word Of Faith vs God Was Never There - Because they cannot understand how a sinner like themselves is able to have faith to raise the dead, their focus is thus on other men, and how these other men cannot do it either. God was never in the picture. God was never there.
  • Faith Testifies about a Certain Attribute of God - Why does Hebrews focus on faith rather than some other ethic that God is so pleased with and turns humans into everlasting heroes, whom the world was not worthy to have known. There are a few reasons, but I want to focus on one aspect. Faith testifies about a certain attribute of God, that God […]
  • If You have Faith, You have no Wait - People are waiting on God, however, at the same time God is waiting on them.
  • Today, God Rewards Faith with What? - “And it is impossible to please God without faith. Anyone who wants to come to him must believe that God existsand that he rewards those who sincerely seek him.”Hebrews 11:6 Ok, so God rewards us if we have faith. So what types of rewards are we talking about? Since some make a distinction between old testament […]
  • Power is what will Finally Deliver You - However, praying in tongues is one of the easiest, (it is so easy it is like having game cheat), ways to move the power of God directly into your soul, body and life.
  • How To Invent Ethics & Reject God - We are to overcome them in faith, joy and righteousness.
  • In Tongues, God is My Minister - In tongues, you enter God's house, and He directly builds you up.
  • Do Not Manipulate God Like This - You do not need to manipulate God like this. Pray will clarity and to the point.
  • Spiritual Fodder: Expansionism - Casting out demons is level 1 for faith. After this, move on to greater heights of power. Casting out demons is spiritual cannon fodder.
  • When even God, is not God-centered Enough - What encouragement it is to know, instead to being so high minded that our brains even leave heaven, that if we center on God, who is centered on our faith, our faith will heal us.
  • Nazism, Communism and Christianity - Nazism, Communism and Christianity Hitler used the emotional pull of nationalism (appealing to nationalism is something almost all governments in all times have done—in some form– from its people since the dawn of time), as a slip of hand, to enforce his Darwinian Eugenics. When the Japanese government wants to protect the Japanese way of […]
  • Outsiders Buy Healing, Insiders Receive It Freely - There is no other way. If you truly think going to the doctor to get healing, is a benefit of the Cross, then you necessarily affirm you can “buy” the blood and atonement of Jesus Christ
  • Ready to be Withdrawn at your Pleasure - You already have them. Faith is God empowering you to see them already in your bank account, ready to be withdrawn at your pleasure.
  • This is how God treats reprobates - Copeland has faults (his basic points of health and wealth are not)
  • “So…I should throw rocks at gay people?” - "If I speak there is a sound. There is a sound; therefore I spoke." Yet, this irrational structure is the foundation for all experimentation
  • Offended At God’s Lavish Giving - Jesus replied to them, “Go and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive their sight, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cleansed, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, and the poor are told the good news,and blessed is the one who isn’t offended by me. Matthew 11:4-6 CSB Let […]
  • It is a confession of unbelief to say, “in my humanity I can’t.” - I read this today and had these thoughts. “You have probably heard all your life that God won’t put any burden on you greater than you can bear. Don’t mark me off as a heretic just yet, but I don’t believe it. I believe that God will put heavier burdens on you than you can […]
  • There Is No Essential “Me” Left - To sound pious one fool quoted Romans 7 where Paul says, “in me nothing good lives,” to suggest that Christians cannot look inward to see glory, honor, righteousness and immortality.   First Paul was referring to a hypothetical typical Jew, and not to himself after being born from above. Mistaking this for Paul after being […]
  • The Path of Faith & the Spirit - It just dawned on me, that when I learned about (or that God personally taught me) God’s sovereignty and occasionalism and decrees, was when I was a teenage and had never heard of John Calvin or any reformation. It was a time I was praying in tongues and experiencing the anointing presence of God, and […]
  • Only Believe - “Do not fear; only believe, and she will be well.”– Jesus Faith and fear do not exist in the same place together. This is why Jesus said, “only believe.” Some have a mixture of faith and fear, and thus, their faith is not pure and only partial. Partial faith will get partial results, because of […]
  • A Disciplined Son, Sitting In His Room, In His Father’s House - What is the fear of the Lord? The fear of the lord is defined by its context. At times is simply means to worship the lord, as Jesus quotes to the devil. But at times it means awful dread of judgment. And lastly it can mean, as a legitimate son, to fear the discipline (not […]
  • Flooding the Gospel with Funding - 2 Corinthians 8:9 NLT, “You know the generous grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, so that by his poverty he could make you rich.” 2 Corinthians 9:8 LEB, “And God is able to cause all grace to abound to you, so that in everything […]
  • FAITH QUOTES - “You can’t leave up to God, what God has left up to you.” - Keith Moore
  • YOU Have The Ability, If YOU Believe - The father was asking about Jesus’ ability, and Jesus turns around and says there is ability to heal here; however, it lies with you and your faith.
  • Submit To Being A Sinner, Or to God’s Command? - “If God be our sovereign, we ought to subscribe to his afflicting will without debates. . . . It is God’s part to inflict, and the creature’s part to submit. . . . It is an unreasonable thing not to leave God to the exercise of his own dominion.” — Stephen Charnock I saw this […]
  • Scripture: Sufficient to Condemn John MacArthur & Justin Peters - Why is it so automatic for them to start with a “human” speculation and “human” superstition? 
  • Think On These Things: Think on Healing & Miracles - Thoughts of healing are commendable, and they are excellence of character. Thoughts of healing are praiseworthy.
  • God will boast about you! - Rather than you wasting time boasting about men, with faith, God will use His time to boast about you.
  • Sub-human Animal Dumb - “The… female ostrich… Indeed, it leaves its eggs to the earth, and it lets them be warmed on the ground, and it forgets that a foot might crush an egg, and a wild animal might trample it. It deals cruelly with its young ones, as if they were not its own, as if without fear […]
  • Vincent Cheung & Our Loyalty to the Reformation - Why should I care about your Reformation heritage...
  • The Human Ministry of Jesus Empowered by The Spirit - 10,000 more times apply a correct doctrine of the incarnation than all the Reformed tradition and books, and churches combined
  • God Commands Us To Get Healing - This is what it means to say, “God’s will,” be done in my life--it means obeying His commands like Jesus Christ did.
  • The Spirit tells our spirit about the …..? - we also keep focusing on devotions and faith, because the Spirit is relentless in directing our hearts to all the good and free things available to us in Christ.
  • God Wants To Exalt His Elect - God exalting you with grace and love is His plan. Do not doubt, only believe.
  • Devil Victimized People with Sickness But God Healed Them - The devil made people sick. God made them well. The devil victimized people with sickness. God destroyed the work of the devil by healing and loosing these oppressed people from Satan’s power. Jesus was the stronger One; He bound and plundered the devil’s house. They begged him to let the sick touch at least the […]
  • Scripture Uses God’s Transcendence to Shove His Nearness In Your Heart - I was re-reading this essay from Vincent below. It struck a chord in my mind because I had recently read a passage of Scripture in Ephesians 3 that said and concluded the same thing. First the quote from Vincent, “Those who claim to provide a God-centered theology are often proud of their theological prowess, but […]
  • God Proving His Love For You Is the Gospel, not you proving your love for God. - The gospel is not your love for God, but God's demonstration of love to you.
  • The Importance of Spiritual Growth - I have come to experience the love that God has for me, and it makes me want to love others more.
  • Love Never fails – To Heal by Miraculous Power - For those who do not have great heavenly powers of the baptism of the Spirit, Spiritual Gifts, Faith to move mountains, and are practiced in manifesting the Anointing Presence of God, this chapter of love is not applicable to them, or at the very least, it is mostly not applicable to them.
  • Calvin Institutes, And God Being the Cause of All Things - Here ‘will’ is improperly confounded with precept, though it is obvious, from innumerable examples, that there is the greatest difference between them.
  •  Desire vs Faith - Because the “foundation” is not us, but GOD, we have the confidence to read God’s promises, and confess them knowing God will renew and strengthen us, so that soon the doubts will be gone and an indomitable faith remains.
  • Jesus: “You Have Heard it Said…” - Jesus: You have heard it said, “if you ask, you might or might not get it, depending on God’s will.” However, I say to you, “If you ask you will receive, if seek you will find, and if you knock the door will be open.”
  • Obedience Proves you Understand the Scripture - If your pastors and favorites theologians do not have such ethics in their life, they do not give Scriptural proof they understand God’s sovereignty, or biblical epistemology as well as they claim
  • Prayer of Petition VS Dedication: When prayer becomes Non-prayer - We learn an important lesson: one type of prayer will negate the other. You are doing one or the other.
  •   Jesus Does the Marvelous “Works,” that the Father Does.   - [This section is from the “Works of God” section, from my Systematic Theology book] …This mighty work of God is mirrored in Jesus Christ and His saving of the Elect. Indeed there are even two baptisms in the New Contract with Jesus. One for the removal of slavery and sins, and one for the power […]
  • Look Jesus! there are Crumbs: YOU SAID IT, NOT ME - Your faith must treat God's every promise with this level of importance, or you are not a Christian.
  • Sola Scriptura: The Soiled Diaper of the Reformation - The Reformation took the idea of only standing on Scripture for knowledge and soiled it with empiricism and tradition. Sola scriptura is now God’s target practice.
