“…We, however, will not boast beyond measure, but within the limits of the sphere which God appointed us” (NKJV 2-Cor. 10:13). The only things that appear as the respond to the Holy Spirit’s manifestation through us can be considered ministry results or success. God pours out His grace just on the sphere of His will. So, our main purpose is to be obedient and to keep the heart in the way it can be used.

“Lord, who may abide in Your tabernacle? Who may dwell in Your holy hill? … He who swears to his own hurt and does not change” (Psalm 15)
People often ask how to enter God’s calling. Joseph, David, Mordecai, Daniel and other men of faith had the calling from God but they moved in it in an absolutely natural way. Being right in the middle of the worst situations ever, that had nothing to do with their calling, these...

“ confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth. For those who say such things declare plainly that they seek a homeland. And truly if they had called to mind that country from which they had come out, they would have had opportunity to return”.
(Heb.11:13-15)
What road signs will determine our future? Are we still willing to prefer Egypt caldrons to the Promise Land today? Will we fail again in...

To praise someone else is absolutely alien for the flesh selfishness. It causes envy and exposes selfishness-based jealousy concealed inside. All the things must revolve around just one axis. Praising God pulls down the scale of flesh values and deprives my “Self” of any claims for the place in the sun.
Admiration alone is absolutely shameless. So, worship is nothing else but admiration to the extend of deification!

“Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith; for whatever is not from faith is sin” (NKJV Rom. 14:22-23)
To follow the Holy Spirit’s call doesn’t release me from the law responsibility. Not at all. On the contrary, the Spirit’s call challenges me to surpass a...

At the initial stage sin leaven is less dangerous than the leaven of liberalism. The main thing is to infect the society with the tolerance bacteria. Whatever can be a subject to tolerate.

Faith exists just in the present. Its formula is “is” since it’s bound to You Alone, and since You are I “am”, so faith is “is” as well. And as soon as You become I “was”, so faith is over. It means other profs are needed and the soul realizes it at once; so it’s threshes about seeking the own salvation evidence relying on the past experience of faith, baptism, covenants and so on, with no understanding...

Просмотров: 72 Комментариев: 0 A ruler or a manager
First of all, it's important to see an essential difference between a ruler and a manager. In Christian education institutions the majority of nowadays books and study courses introduce secular view on management and leadership, considering a goal-setting skill the most distinctive characteristic of a leader. So, the emphases is shifted from the REVELATION (which is God's guidance) to faith as the most powerful human...

Ranks and the seniority principles are typical of the spiritual realm. When it gets to the community, God picks out a mediator, one man from the nation, and anoints him for a certain mission. It's radically different from the democracy system when people elect President candidates to promote their interests. There is no happy medium, these are two world systems -- theocratic and democratic.
"And the Lord said to...

The spiritual bareness is a secret deception. The membership in the Church Body is determined by your function not your attendance! What do you do in the Body? What will change in the Body when you are removed? Will anyone notice that? Do you know why THE WHOLE BODY IS AGONIZING when one member is hurting? It’s because the whole Body is affected when one organ has failed it’s function.

Any structure that governs the church abandons its mission as soon as it limits its vision. The church is an organism, and for that reason there can be no such thing as “the true church structure.” The church is alive, and that means that it grows, and that means that it changes. The process of change requires that all aspects of the church structure are constantly maintained and attuned to the needs of the moment. As...

People may name thousands of various “diseases”, but in most cases all our physical and social problems can be reduced to spiritual ones. It is established that up to 70% of stomach problems are directly connected with the mental stress of a person, his anxieties and his unwillingness to forgive. A person is a composed of the spirit, soul and body, but his spirit is the most important substance. “May God himself, the...

The Jordan river is parted only when you walk in one direction. There is no way back. God always supports those who follow His will, and He would never encourage retreat. If you have left Egypt once, you have stepped on the path of faith and patience. This process is irreversible, and its outcome is either the prize of life for the conquerors, or the punishment of death for the unfaithful ones. “No one who puts a hand to...

Many people put great effort in order to achieve recognition. But one’s zeal must be of the proper origin, in order to be justified before God. Paul tells us that those who do not compete according to the rules, will have no success. What are the rules of the lawful competitors? Each servant of the Gospel must know and understand these rules. “Anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except...

The spiritual person's age is measured by how it developed as a spirit, which is not vaccinated, except througha continuous dialogue with the Holy Spirit. Under identical circumstances, people behave differently because they come from different spiritual content and education.

Knowledge always attracts people. But, unfortunately, knowledge is sought not for the sake of understanding, but rather for the sake of mystery. One seeks mystical knowledge. Eve knew the truth from God, the commandment of life, but it did not satisfy her. But the serpent have offered her knowledge of a different kind. And this yearning for knowledge led to the subsequent fall. “Then I will give you shepherds after my own...

The spiritual maturity of a person is measured by how developed the qualities of the Spirit appear to be within that person, because such qualities can only be grafted in through continuous communion with the Holy Spirit. In the same circumstances people behave differently, because they are filled, cultivated, and instructed by different spiritual sources.
