With revival at our footsteps, we’re entering in!
But, …where? …and how? Are we prepared?
It’s my delight to :hear: that reformation must accompany revival, personal reformation. For how-else will revival be perpetuated?
Therefore, my quest with this page is to publish what I’ve learned over this time of my pilgrimage to date, of Holy Spirit’s complicity with God’s Word regarding our personal needs of aligning with His Word. Be blessed, aye.
It’s our study and comprehension of God’s Word that brings us the divine light we need for reforming and transforming our spiritual and practical lives into what God has ordained for each of us, for Jesus himself promised us:
“If anyone’s will is to do God’s will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority”, ~cf. John 7:17. Therefore, what our faith in God “turns out to be” depends on the teaching we’ve received. Crucial Question: Is it, or has it been man’s teaching or that of God’s Word?
If it’s the teaching of God’s Word, it will bring clarity and victory: “The entrance and unfolding of Your words give light; their unfolding gives understanding (discernment and comprehension) to the simple”, ~Psalm 119:130, Amplified Version. The apostle Peter also speaks of the spiritual nature of God’s Word as He experienced it on the Mount of Transfiguration:
“We couldn’t be more sure of what we saw and heard—God’s glory, God’s voice. The prophetic Word was confirmed to us. You’ll do well to keep focusing on it. It’s the one light you have in a dark time as you wait for daybreak and the rising of the Morning Star in your hearts.
“The main thing to keep in mind here is that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of private opinion. And why? Because it’s not something concocted in the human heart. Prophecy resulted when the Holy Spirit prompted men and women to speak God’s Word”, ~2 Peter 1:19-21, Message Version. Likewise, the apostle Paul:
“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work”, ~2 Timothy 3:16-17, ESV.
Indeed, the expected result of our study of God’s Word, is as Jude has written:
“Now to Him who is able to protect you from stumbling and to make you stand in the presence of His glory, blameless and with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time, now and forever. Amen”, ~Jude 1:24-25, HCSB.
Therefore I’ve written the texts of these eBooks so that they may be copied and pasted into a Note in your Bible Study app or program. If so, the references given in each eBook will automatically transform into links within your app. such as with the Olive Tree Bible Study app. making it easy to study the associated scriptures.
The Adobe/pdf versions of these eBooks will copy and paste but with no formatting, therefore I’m providing a Pages/Word duplicate for each, as is already provided for the latest additions to this page. Please “return here” for the others’ duplicate-links and downloads when provided.
We really need to start at “Ground Zero” if we’re going to recognize God in our lives: what He’s done, what’s He’s doing, and what He’s promised to do. In Christ, we’ve been made God’s righteousness, with this capacity of hearing Him by the Spirit of Christ, our Redeemer.
Right of Passage is a thorough-going appraisal of 1 Corinthians chapters 12 to 14 about God’s people’s use of Holy Spirit’s, spiritual gifts. It presents the case of our ability to use these gifts, along with the Bible’s claim of what constitutes a true Christian. It’s a growth process and shows God’s will for each of us. The pdf version is available here, and the Word/Pages version here. Be blessed as you confirm your faith!
I’m “back tracking”! I developed this very short note-style-study quite a few years ago, but it will introduce my beliefs on “end times”.
It’s a file of only 7 pages, named: Today’s Reformation (download through those words!) There’s so much “swirling teachings” on end times that this is a key part for clarifying such.
Other clarifications are given especially in “With this State of our Glorification”, posted below. It’s important to “cast aside the stumbling block” of confusion about end times teachings.
Each of these eBooks are in Adobe’s pdf format and can be downloaded through this site, either through the book’s cover picture or through the linked text.
Please click or tap on any of the booklets’ pictures or linked text and a new window will open for your download.
“Draw a deep breath” and “plough into” the nature of God with this one’s reading! – only 21 pages. It describes the nature of our Given, eternal and glorious Gospel!
A surprising “catch of an interpretation”, The Appearance of Jesus shows where mostly, we’ve missed it!
It’s simple and informative.
How does the Spirit of Christ appear to you? This may answer your quest of drawing closer with Him – a 15-page read.
Don’t be shy now! You’ve been linked up in unity with God! The book is a mere 8-page read.
As new creations in Christ we have direct access through Jesus’ bloodshed into heaven’s throne of grace. But, do we believe it?
Further: Do we really believe in our spirituality? This “slalom course” of Bible texts may convince you that you’re born to conquer. Also: a Pages/Word format is available by clicking/tapping this text.
One very key aspect of our conduct as Christians, filled with Holy Spirit, is our speech.
“The tongue is set among our members, staining the whole body, setting on fire the entire course of life/of our lives”, ~James 3:6.
And yet, our speech can be in command of great blessing: What Shall We Speak is compiled from the book of Job, chapters 38-42. Oh, the wonder of godly speech! An MS Word/Apple Pages file is here too!
The jewel in my crown! This eBook’s file is named: Grace and the Gospel. It’s a thorough appraisal of the Biblical and covenantal term: grace.
It turns out that God’s grace is His character, invested in Christ’s believers by The Atonement. When combined with the truth of the Gospel, this reveals eternal life.
Anyone’s interest in Eternal Life will be illuminated by reading this booklet – just 13 pages; also the Pages/Word file.
I re-worked Grace and the Gospel‘s text into a speak-able speech! The file is available through the caption’s link above. I’d rather not make an issue of it, but I’ve heard in many churches the claim that God’s Grace is power. In this video and speech’s text, I work through the Biblical evidence that refutes that claim because the outcome is that God’s grace, when acknowledged as His character, brings us alive to Eternal Life.
I know! There’s lots of good churches “on the menu”, but revival is breaking out in some. e.g. Bill Johnson’s Bethel with its “wide eyed view” of the world etc. And, if you want simple, concise inspiration: please “rummage through” Apostle Kathryn Krick‘s Shorts on YouTube.
If there’s other sources as churches in Revival that you might like to suggest, please leave a comment. Glory to our God. I have no partiality. Even the “grey hairs” in a tiny meeting may be in Revival. Our God is no respecter of persons, but He must have chosen you since you’ve come looking this far into this page!
When it all “comes down to brass tacks”, this is our Charge. Shine your own light, aye. God’s given you His own unique spectrum as His glory in you, and/or that you emanate through Christ, having been born anew. We :see: through the Cross as we live our lives :in: Christ.
Life, Love & Unity
