Religion / Re: Prophetic Revelation On What Is Coming. That Was Revealed To Me By God by Finallydead: 9:33pm On Feb 25, 2021
nnamdiosu:


It appears thenoble007 was right after all.
Bible says one of the ways to know a prophet from God is if his prophecies comes to pass.

Let's stop fighting /attacking the messenger and receive the message.

Time will also prove his authtencity.
The wise will hear and note won, whether it looks feasible or note.

God bless you noble007


Greetings brother and a blessed 2021 to you. Trust all has been well with you.

Ummm, okay,
First, you failed to show where and how I 'attacked' the "messenger" in what you quoted so I don't exactly get you yet.

Secondly, there is no message in ''God's anointed Cyrus will be removed''(full stop). God doesn't reveal just to say 'hey, told you so'. He's no egomaniac just trying to show off to mere dust creatures. God reveals to create a manifestation, delegate responsibility and build us up into Christlikeness. So no message in no 2.
One thing I observed right on of theNoble007 is not that he doesn't see, he does, but that he doesn't actually get the mind of the Spirit in what he sees else he would have discerned when I revealed it while judging his vision. If a common donkey like me who is no prophet has to tell one with a prophetic gift what heaven's stance is in a land resides, and he even refutes it, bragging about how detailed his "prophecy" of Satan's plan to someone else was, then he judged himself before I ever could, that the mind of God about his own territory was hidden from him.
Brings back the Balaam/donkey incident to mind. A reason such ever happens is if the prophetically gifted are more interested in prophesying/ being "correct" than in actually knowing and paying the price to execute, the HEART of the Father, which can NEVER be revealed by the keenest prophetic gift but only by a relationship, by bearing His burdens in true love. Such vain desire in the heart obscures it from seeing/hearing His, even when the spirit man sees.

We all are growing, none is perfect and I myself, knowing almost nothing, am the greatest debtor of mercy, and grossly riddled with imperfections yet I would encourage Noble to henceforth press to know the mind of the Spirit/what the Spirit says to the churches. It is this which is called "the Word of the Lord", beyond simply seeing as in Jer1:11-12, 13-16.
A child born into this world sees and hears, and all his senses perceive the world around. However, he lacks knowledge of the minds and hearts of people in this world as he is yet to relate with them. So also, it is not enough to just see visions and hear but to get the mind of the Spirit which is by relationship if you'll ever be a voice for God and align the saints with God's perspective, revealing when to pray for or against, what to do and how, from the mouth of the Lord.
Simple question I ask any who sees is "what is the Lord Himself saying about what you've seen?" If you can't tell, then you need to go back in humility to Him to hear. Remember, the church is to hear what the Spirit SAYS to the churches not merely what is seen.

Thirdly, when you say thenoble007 was right after all, smiles, I say, heaven has its own set times, wait a little. I already said when it's all over this year, I'll come back for an account of his no.2. The purpose is, using it as case study, to bring a little enlightenment (with a light rebuke, lol) about some common misconceptions in the prophetic, rampant in Christendom today and which was displayed here. I hope by God's grace that I will truly be able to as it has become clear that my leisure time on this forum has come to an end hence I've been conspicuously absent since about July or so of last year, due to new

But let me repeat very clearly as before (don't forget this was after Biden was already declared President so know I'm not looking at the circus in Washington you're watching): Although, Biden has been declared president, it will never stand. It is the plan of Satan but he's been set up to be mocked by God. Ps2 is a good word for him. Cyrus will sit on the throne given to him to fulfill the purpose of God he was given and it will be said "there was never a Biden all along". Not in 2024, no, in a couple of months, your eyes will see it.
In Cyrus' second term, he will surrender to the Lordship of Christ, baptized in the Holy Ghost, and Roe v Wade will be overturned, the blood sacrifices of abortion will be put to an end in the land because of the intercession of the saints. In the very beginning of this second term of mercy, the greatest move and outpouring of the Spirit on the church ever will advance not only in America but world over. America, former HQ, having funded the gospel in the last move will complete a baton transfer in the spirit, of economic role to Africa, the next geographical HQ of this move of God with the greatest dollar/stock market crash, in which God will judge the global financial system of injustice. Those who are laying up treasures on earth will take a big hit.

Satan tried to stop this revival with genocide of 'Corona' Virus but behold, the virus becomes crownless. Then he tries to fast forward the coming of the AC through a NWO by taking Cyrus out of the way but ha!!, he who hears mocks Satan, who will learn a humbling lesson in coming months that though he may be ruler of those in darkness, he is a mere creature serving God's will, a mere dog on a leash, and the Creator will make the AC wait until He has completed His 40 year spectacle on earth.
This is not about politics but removal of all obstacles to setting up God's kingdom. This is also about the destiny of nations and tribes being fulfilled. Like I told shadeyinka before, America is not Babylon although every nation's got Babylon in it. America's more like wayward Israel of old and Nineveh. Babylon must falling, fall but the soul of America will be saved by the blood of our Lord. It will be winnowed and threshed in fire of natural disasters, economic meltdown, foreign invasion, implosion, upheavals, civil war etc. This is because in God's mercy, it is being stripped of fleshly pomp and all Egyptian attachment so that it may glory only in God and become a holy land ready to meet Him at his coming.
If only Noble really interceded with a broken heart for the nation he resides, he should have had this idea of God's heart and plan for the nation for it is not hidden at all in the Council.

So Noble telling me "prepare for NWO/tribulation" is not because he doesn't see but due to general ignorance in christendom of God's purposes. No, this is not the time of the AC nor was it ever written that we should prepare for Satan's NWO. AC will be withheld by God until his 7-year window. (2Thes2:6-7).
This is the time of the gospel of the kingdom to be preached in every nation in great signs and wonders. This is the time of manifestation of the sons of God creation has long groaned for. Also the time of upheavals and realignments in all nations, wars, the opening of the seals, cataclysmic natural 'disasters' that will reorder the earth forever because the kingdom of God is no longer just near but right here. Glory!!! Bless you Lord!!!
So this old creation must be redesigned for the millennial reign of Christ. Only after this window of the good news of the kingdom preached, will the end and the AC come.(Mt24:14).
Prepare rather to be enlisted in God's endtime army of crucified, reckless-abandon lovers preaching with fire in togues and eyes and rivers in bellies, an army of Word made flesh, numerous Jesus' all over the world, a truly new creation. Prepare to be a spotless bride without blemish, the pride of her Lord displayed as the trophy before the Principalities of His sacrifice eliminating sin completely. Prepare for the unveiling of Christ from within you. Stop preparing to 'make' heaven, a free gift of faith without works for that is a very disappointing goal in God's eyes. His blood is worth more.

If you're seeing this, you're most likely already behind schedule but can still hurry to catch the glory train, if you start seeking His face today, and not quit no matter what. Seek to know and fall in love with God because only pure love birthed in your heart by the daily outpouring of His Spirit will carry you triumphantly through what is ahead- only fiery love consuming the flesh and sin. Never stop asking for this until you receive it. Pray, pray, pray and fast without ceasing until you get it. When you hear soon that Cyrus has taken his throne, and there is wild jubilation in the streets in America and all over, then know, there is even greater jubilation in heaven because it has begun, the mightiest wonders of God from heaven and coming catastrophes with the kingdom. Prepare!!!!

If you must know what king heaven has decided to remove, then look not to Cyrus who will still be seated when in your own land, o Nigeria, your king is removed by the hand of God because of the collision of your nation with the kingdom of God as I saw in 2017, at which time you must realise that in the messy, topsy-turvy upheaval, the David that God has long prepared to rule your land and found a new nation is about ascending the throne after a brief transition govt. In much prayers and perseverance, possess your souls and keep faith alive. David comes and will found a new nation with a new name(P), new flag(+B), new administrative system all according to the heavenly pattern he was shown. What a glorious nation of wonder will be born and will restructure the rest of Africa. Holy saints, persevere in prayers, it will be as God has said.

Lastly, when you say time will prove whether Noble is authentic, I say not. Even if he starts missing a lot, it won't change the fact that he has an authentic gift from God. The gifts and callings of God are without repentance. This is one of the misconceptions I wish to address when I come back. We do not judge by hits and misses because even diviners like T.B.J hit and like in the days of Moses, Satan's ministers also display somewhat. Also the genuinely gifted miss hence we MUST judge all prophecy. I've also missed in the past but learnt as well.

Till I return,
Peace and Love.

TheNoble007:
As a child of God, let me make it clear that I am not accountable to you or anyone but to God, so I have nothing to prove to anyone.

Lest this becomes an argument, I will post this for yours and others' benefit and will refrain henceforth.
First, you should know that I will gain nothing from you or anyone here being accountable to me nor will I foolishly demand that. If you understand how the body of Christ works, then when you bring out a prophecy in the name of God to public space, influencing the minds of believers, you should be ready to have your prophecy judged, if you're humble of course, so don't misunderstand. This is the biblical model.
1Th 5:20-21 20 Do not disregard prophecy but test ALL and hold on to that which is right.
Paul who understands how the prophetic works recommends that ALL proohecies, not necessarily the prophet, are tested because even true prophets can get it wrong or at best see in part.

Also read 1Cor14:29
Many gifts don't seem to understand that we see in part. Try to fellowship with trusted brothers so that you don't take your part as the whole. One of the reasons why we have many "false" prophecies coming from true prophets is because we don't understand this hence we fail to act as a body and scrutinize what the Lord gives to each. Everyone believes my own is the final authority. Disunity is behind many "false" prophecies today.

In a different platform on NL, I was very clear about Trump losing the election. Yes. A lady asked me, and I gave enough details. Yes, clear details about the election. Kindly, read my previous posts to satisfy your curiosity.
I am not curious about the authenticity of your prophetic gift and hence not interested in investigating it. I know one with a true gift from afar and I can attest to the fact that you have a true prophetic call and I do not contest your claim of a track record of accuracy. I am not a prophet either, just an ordinary believer but the Lord has revealed all these things you type here to me long ago as well as many more intricate details up to things to happen to the end of this age.
However in the prophetic, a prophecy given by a true prophet with 99% accuracy in the past can fail depending on the disposition of his heart when he received it. Read Ezek 14 and then 1Kin22:15-23. You would understand that the same prophet Micaiah gave two contradictory prophecies, one was when he feared for his life and his heart was therefore not rightly disposed, the other was when he opened up his heart to God and then saw the full scope.
Also observe that the prophets were true prophets but none of them saw the full story that God had hidden the truth so as to fulfill his plan.
Notice also how God hides things from his own prophets so that His will won't be compromised.
So forget your track record and open your heart up to God so that you don't mislead His people. You will give account for that to Him.

Alas, the vast majority of American Christians are so ignorant.
It is true that mainstream American christianity is vastly ignorant and God will certainly chasten the U.S. through natural disasters he permits, invasion by Russia and China, implosion of the union to disintegration and even a civil war. But these things have their timeline so don't mix things up. Trump will still serve his second term because God is giving the church a period of mercy to align certain things and a time of massive revival and harvest of souls. In his second term, Roe vWade will be overturned and a lot of legal structures will be corrected.

The gospel has been compromised in America where divorce and sexual vice is seen as nothing even in the church.
The world belongs to Satan and he gives it to the highest bidder. It is for the true children of God to overturn things. Yet, how many can see?. How many Christians can regard prophetic messages without debating on it?. Should I mention the tales I have faced?
You sound like Elijah locked up in a bubble not knowing that there were 7000 intercessors in hidden places. There are many saints hidden from view, both in the past and present, who have cried out for the sins of the land and like he told Abraham, he is not unjust to ignore their cries, Gen18:23-32.
You also sound like Jonah who would rather that God brings punishment than intercede for their ignorance that there may be repentance in the land.
Like I said before if you can humbly open your heart like Abraham, you would know heaven's agenda.

As a young man in my twenties, and by the grace of God, the ability to see into the future accurately, has been on me for close to two decades. So I will urge you not to be quick to say things. You can rally up prayer warriors if you wish to.

Read what I told you before about track record. It can be 99% if you like but a wise believer will test the current prophecy against itself and not track record.

Prophecy number one in Nigeria has occurred in bits.
Many saints already knew of these things you listed here since long ago, though they may not advertise themselves. Even up to what will happen afterwards, the birthing of a new nation after the birthpangs of violence and turmoil and the David who God has raised to lay a new foundation when he rules the nation and the new name and flag of the nation.
It doesn't change the fact that no 2 is the plan of Satan and if you had sought God's heart, you would understand you should be praying against it.

The new world order is at hand. Persecution is coming with or without Trump. Our hope is in Christ Jesus. Prepare!!!!!
Eph5:18- Do not be foolish but seek to understand the will of the Lord.
We should not be indifferent but seek to align ourselves with the mind of God if we are His servants. When He says Trump is His plan, pray for Trump, when he says Cyrus, pray for Cyrus. We are not wiser than God and we will be judged if we resist His counsel. Rom13:2

NWO and persecution has nothing on the believer who pays the price of developing his spiritual capacity to stand firm in Christ and we are not scared of it. God prepares a table for his elect in the presence of their enemies. We preach the kingdom of light, they peach the kingdom of darkness. The world will clearly see which is greater.
Watch what God does in the next 40 years through a mighty display of His glory by the Moses and Elijah sons of God who will cause the world to acknowledge the greatness of our God above every other before the reign of the AC.
It would be like the land of Goshen vs the land of Egypt, Light in Israel's camp, darkness in the nation's that reject God, that's how regions would be divided.

Peace!
Cc:providence338, WinningEleven.

PS: To all believers here, I believe the authenticity of the prophetic gift of this man and I also believe his prophecies 1 to 6, which many of us have personally received except that I believe no 2 is him seeing the plan of Satan, not the will of God, and it was only revealed to be forestalled by prayers and God is going to do a mighty miracle with the few that stand with Him like He did with Haman and Mordecai.
I do not say that anyone should believe either my stance or his but that let each open their hearts to the Spirit and seek to know what is God's will and pray accordingly.

shadeyinka:

Did you receive a contrary prophesy?
Yes I received something different but just pray thoroughly, receive for yourself and follow the Spirit. Let Him be true and every man a liar.

shadeyinka:
Babylon the great harlot has to fall isn't it?
Maranatha!
Babylon will fall but Babylon is not America, contrary to what most think. Babylon is the organised religion that commits adultery by breaking faith with God and adopting Heathenish traditions, from Jerusalem to the pre-protestant era of the church even to the many assemblies of today.
She is drunk with the blood of the martyrs, Rev17:6. Remember the burning of true saints at the stake and the killings caused by the organised christianity in pre-protestant era. Also remember Jerusalem that murders all her prophets.

Babylon also speaks of the antichrist systems of the world found in EVERY single nation on earth including America. God will purge America of its Babylonian systems through many unfavourable and very bitter circumstances. He will do this in every other elect/sheep nation on earth.

Religion / Re: What Is The Sin That Cannot Be Forgiven? by Finallydead: 10:41pm On Nov 07, 2020
Bodydialect57:
Matthew 12:22-32.

.....
The Lord Jesus Christ spoke those words as part of his responses to the Pharisees of His time who accused Him of healing a blind and dumb by Beelzebub, the prince of devils.
What word/words can one speak against the Holy Spirit and will not earn forgiveness in this world and the one to come?

Cc Acehart, FinallyDead

Hi Body,
I trust you're good. Guess you're aware I've been off this platform for months and I'm just seeing this.

There is only one sin that can't be forgiven and it's not unbelief. Every unbeliever is guilty of unbelief before they believe and get forgiven of it, so unbelief is a forgivable sin. The unforgivable sin is that which once commited can never be forgiven as discussed in the excerpt of mine bottom of page.

NB: In case you're wondering why it's called blasphemy of the Holy Spirit, which hearing you may expect that someone curses the Holy Spirit. Actually, looking at the scene in your text in which the Lord mentioned it, blasphemy here conveys the meaning: a willful rejection even when truth is known.
The Pharisees blasphemed the Son because they knew it's only by the hand of God that a jew can perform signs and so they knew he was of God but they still rejected him and rather called it Baalzebub just because of what it would cost them to approve of the Lord's ministry. So the meaning of blasphemy here is a rejection in spite of knowledge of truth.
So when he speaks of blasphemy of the Spirit, this meaning is maintained, as also explained in the excerpt, and only a believer who has already known the things of the Spirit (an unbeliever never has such knowledge) can commit this sin by rejecting Christ and hence, the Spirit of God that dwells in him. Take note that those that do same to Father, (like the sons of Israel), and to the Son(like the Pharisees) can still be forgiven because He would still die on the cross for their sins and they can receive the Spirit in their hearts but after this, whoever does it to the Spirit,(believers) have nothing left to hope on.

Sinning willfully can only be correctly defined in the context of the text.
Also consider how drastic it is that Paul says there is no sacrifice remaining for such a sin and hence no forgiveness except fearful judgement(Heb10:26-27).
Actually, contrary to his aim, @OP picked a text that contravenes eternal security.
So first off, who was Paul referring to? Paul was certainly referring to those who were believers already but we're pressured to abandon faith by persecution from neighbouring Jews, as shown in the preceding verse
Hebrews 10:25[25]Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

The succeeding verses also confirm he referred to believers, the only people who could ever have been sanctified by the blood of the Son.
Hebrews 10:29[29]Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has rejected with disdain the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

So what exactly is the willful sin? It is not just any sin a believer commits, of course. It is only the sin of apostasy- an outright turning back on faith in the Lord that one once held(which faith is the only means of salvation) i.e. when the believer no longer wants Jesus as his Lord. We also see that this apostasy called "insulting the Spirit of grace" in Heb10:29 was what the Lord called blasphemy of the Holy Spirit which can never be forgiven:
Luke 12:10[10]And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man(unbelievers), it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemes the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven

This sin is also what John calls the "sin unto [eternal]death" which when a brother commits, there is no room for forgiveness, hence no recommendation to pray for such(1Jn5:16). It leads instantly to (eternal)death(1Jn5:16). Every other sin doesn't instantly lead to eternal death(1Jn5:17) but can lead to the delusion of committing this sin if allowed to harden the heart, by continuing in them(Heb3:13)
1Jn 5:16-17 KJV 16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. 17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

Not every believer qualifies to commit this sin but only one who has passed through all stages of spiritual development mentioned in Heb6:4-6 which can be summarised as having made Jesus Lord first and then having been baptized into the Holy Spirit with the evidence of spiritual gifts of power/anointing.
Heb 6:4-6 KJV 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and became sharers of the Holy Spirit, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
It is however very rare for a true believer to commit such a sin.

It is noteworthy that the impossibility of redeeming such believers is not because God's mercy can ever be exhausted but because sin automatically hardens the conscience hence a believer who continues in sin to a certain point becomes totally hardened in heart and deceived by sin(Heb3:13) such that he himself no more wants to retain faith in the Lord for security of his soul. Which faith alone is the only basis to enjoy God's provision of salvation.
Hence the unforgivable sin is apostasy a.k.a. blasphemy(insult) of the Holy Spirit a.k.a. sin unto [eternal]death a.k.a. willful sin.

TheNoble007:
Prophecy number 2 has been fulfilled. Glory to Lord Jesus Christ. I am not here just to parade my self as a Prophet of God, but to bring you the great notice that God is real. If you know that you want to deeply accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, do that NOW!

I will share further prophecies.

Bro I hope you're humble enough to allow your prophecies to be judged. Let me tell you this, we receive things according to the disposition of our hearts hence it's not enough for you to just say what you saw in a vision without submitting it for judgement. I judge your no 2 prophecy as the plan of Satan not the will of God and it will fail.
If you really know what heaven is saying, you'd know that Trump is heaven's choice for this next tenure. While I agree with all your prophecies, I completely disagree with no 2. Even though the media has announced Biden as president-elect, it's never gonna happen. Trump will be president and all the saints and angels of heaven will see to it. He will not only complete his second term but will encounter God in it and surrender to the Lordship of our Christ.
If you were a voice for God, you should mobilise believers to be praying right now to fulfill God's counsel. I would advise you to go back with an open heart and seek God on this particular matter. If you can be humble enough, He will reveal this to you.
I will get back to you so you can account for your second prophecy come 2021.

Peace.

Religion / Re: What Is The Best WAY TO Position YOURSELF When Praying? by Finallydead: 11:14am On Aug 30, 2020
Brachaa:
Now, is there any thing like the best position when praying and does it have any effect to the answers of prayers offered?

I once read in a book that there are different positions one need to be in when praying, for effectiveness.

Like if you're praying for mercy and forgiveness, you should be on your kneels or lie face flat.

If youre praying for vengeance, you should stand on your feet.

Prayer of petition, you should... Can't really remember all in details now cos it's a long time I read that book.

Also in my church, if you're observing a prayer of deliverance or anointing, you'll be asked not to fold your arms or close your Palms together.

Please I want to know how true these things are. If they truly matter to God or affect our prayers in any ways.

The best position for me is lying down though I stand sometimes.

Please I need mature inputs.

Thank you.

Hi Brachaa,
Sorry I've been offline for weeks and seeing this now.
About posturing in prayer, note that you'll receive no extra pinch of mercy for kneeling or prostrating nor will any extra power be released against enemy forces by standing or any other militant gesture.
All you receive from the spiritual realm, mercy, power or liberty, will be through faith in operation.
I have seen the power of God resurrect someone faraway, from the dead, while laying put in the comfort of my bed. I have also seen generational curses and witchcraft bondages, broken while sitting down comfortably, all by the of activation of faith alone. And I have become the greatest of debtors to mercy amongst men by the same faith in the Lord, certainly not by prostrating.
Some people posture in one way and get the results while others posture some other way and still get the results because what they have in common is their faith even though they may mistake it for a certain posture or gesture and compel others to do same.

However, as you grow in the presence of God, there are times the presence compels you to your knees or to fall on your face like with John (Rev1:17), Ezekiel(Ezek1:28) and Daniel(Dan8:17).
However I always teach people to pray in a still position when praying, like standing or sitting and alternating between both as is comfortable, because it conserves your energy and also helps you focus within. Also I never recommend lying down because if you're going to pray for say, three hours, especially when you just starting such, you'll most likely sleep off in that position and lose prayer time. In all, try to pick a posture that saves conserves energy and prevents you sleeping off easily.

I like that you ask this question actually because it shows that you're serious about getting answers to prayers. So, what kicks the demons out of the way and what activates the angels of God is the force of your faith alone, hence your concern should be how to get your faith operational.
i.) Persevering prayer, that is sticking with it UNTIL the answer comes, will activate faith to bring manifestation of your desire. This is what the Lord advised in (Mk11:22-24). Also Eph6:18.

ii) Also some kind of faithlessness (dormancy of faith) can only be dealt with by fasting. It was this kind that the Lord spoke of (Mt17:21).

iii.) Love i.e. selfless sacrifices you make for God's sake activates faith as well(Gal5:6, 1Pet2:5).
Exercise in this perseveringly and soon your faith will be activated and bring your desired results. To increase the speed of answers or revelations, increase the exercise of these. Also note that many unimaginable things could be responsible for delays which we could only know by revelations and we should never assume but persevere and the Spirit will reveal the cause and bring us solutions.

Please note that these are not self-righteous works but these are the works that activate the dormant faith in your spirit(Jam2:17)and when activated, faith like an unstoppable force will make your desires come true.

I dont remember having these urges of mine for about 3 months now and that happened after my fasting craze (i call it craze cause i did it to the point where i thought i was mad)

How is your spiritual and physical health sir.... I hope we are all growing as we should

I'm glad to hear from you again, my friend. And oh so glad to hear your testimony which I was expecting. The word of God NEVER fails. I would love to hear more details of the whole experience and testimony. Send me a mail about it.

And remember that when we win back ground from the devil, we must never slow down but add pace to move from the defensive to the offensive. There are still many more things you need to build into your life. We would talk in the mail.

I am fine physically and spiritually, God is in total control. God bless you.

Religion / Re: Pornography & Masturbation: A Struggling Christian Needs Help by Finallydead: 9:24am On Jul 26, 2020
Hey derrick015,
Know that God has never condemned you no matter how low you've sunk but seeks to restore you if you can seek Him. And this is not the real you. This is a mould you've cast yourself in because of wrong decisions and the laws of the fallen world.
But there is a way out and a path to find who you truly are again, as recreated in Christ and the restoration of all that you've lost. Please read the following excerpt carefully and ask for clarifications.
Finallydead:

You see what you're now asking for is the whole essence of the gospel. It is for you to be crucified with Him so that He may be risen in you. The old man with all his lusts giving way to the new creation. You cant kill the flesh by power and might but by His life swallowing up death in you.

God is not asking you to prove yourself to Him, He just wants you to practise self-denial and subjugation of the flesh everyday as long as you're still breathing, with all that you can muster, mechanically till you reach a certain point where His life takes over completely from your effort. You can never be machine perfect at this before this point, else you wouldn't be needing Christ's life rising inside you.
Remember, this is not about performance. God is not scoring your failures or success. This is about engaging a spiritual law that persistence will connect you to the spiritual life inside you. So if you quit at any point, you miss out on experiencing the spiritual life and power that God has put inside you to deliver you.
But as you keep at attempting to deny the flesh each new opportunity despite countless failures, perseveringly, at a certain point, the mystery of resurrection life will be activated in you like Jesus after which you will experience His life rising in you liberating you from the flesh.
So from today, start denying the flesh every opportunity you can and decide to keep at it until you reach this certain point.
Determine not to look at ladies lustfully and continue no matter your failures, keep trying to stay away from stimulants, friends or movies, also not to speak what does not glorify God, to always put God's cause before your self interests, to put the needs of others above yours, to pray even when you don't feel like so, fast a lot even when you don't feel like, keep denying yourself in all such exercises until you experience Christ's manifested life in you.
Do not be deterred by your many failed attempts but just keep doing it and in due time, you will see victory when His life manifests to swallows up death in you. You find this principle in Col3:4- 8.
Of course doing all this without expecting the life of Christ to manifest in you ends up in religious/ ceremonial works
Religion / Re: Why Are My Prayers Not Answered?? by Finallydead: 7:49am On Jul 26, 2020
More considerations for effective prayer can be found in the below excerpt.
Finallydead:


Friend, it is unfortunate that prayer is taught today in Christendom to be some magical, instant, genie-in-the-bottle, formula because this is not what the Lord taught.
First, understand before you begin praying that there are spiritual laws in place which like natural laws(e.g. gravity) can never be broken. Also understand that no matter your sin, if you have acknowledged and repented, you are forgiven freely in Christ(Eph1:7). In fact, God also gives you power through His cross to overcome any struggles you have with sin. But the big task in prayer is your request getting to you through all spiritual protocol after its released by God to you.
As long as what you ask is in line with God's will, you should know that it's not up to God to release your answer because He already has(Eph1:3) but only in the spirit(heavens) which is His jurisdiction(Ps115:16).
The onus is then on men whose jurisdiction is the earth(Ps115:16) to persevere through all delays of Satanic forces(Eph6:12) to resist the manifestation of what God has provided in the spirit hence(Eph6:18, Lk18:1-8, Mt6:10)
Note that the hand of God can never be seen on earth except men persevere through all the resistances of Satanic forces like Daniel did(Dan10:12-14) because the earth has been given to men. Had Daniel not persevered, the prince of Persia would have hindered the manifestation of his prayer God already heard from the first day he prayed(v12).

And how do we know when we can stop praying and our victory has come? Either when we see the answer manifest or when we no longer have an iota of doubt in our hearts about the matter(Mk11:23, note shalt not doubt in his heart. Also, Jam1:6), whichever comes first.
As long as there is still any little doubt in your heart, it means Satanic forces are still resisting your answer, so keep on praying until there is no single doubt again.
This takes a lot of patience and diligence in prayer, so buckle down, if you're really serious for your answer. You just have to keep at it until the answer comes.

PS: Beware of anyone trying to direct you to any man or woman or church so you don't complicate your challenges. Always take everything to God Himself who died for you so you may freely access Him.

Religion / Re: What Is Your Understanding Of Sabbath? by Finallydead: 7:34am On Jul 26, 2020
Hi,
Please read the below excerpt to understand the Sabbath God actually meant.
Finallydead:

We Christians haven't really understood the place of the law and until we give it it's rightful place, the ultimate plan of God will elude us. The statutes of God are eternal. Not a single iota of the Torah will pass away until all are fulfilled in Christ(Mt5:18). We should aim to fulfill the Sabbath now through faith in Christ. Just as Paul points out, there is a Sabbath ahead for every believer to labour to enter after their initial faith(Heb4:1, 9-11).
What is the Sabbath? It is the rest we come to where we no longer work but God does all the work in us as seen in the Lord Jesus(Jn14:10). It is experiencing this same oneness He had with the Father where EVERYTHING in our lives springs out from His work within(Jn17:21)
We labour to enter it by seeking God daily, surrendering everything to Him, growing in prayer until He perfects this work in us and we no longer do these but He does all.

Let no one be deceived, we can never enter into this rest until we have truly surrendered our entirety to God.

iamDrRhymes:


You made mention of Apostle Junia, please am hearing about her the first time. Elaborate please
I mentioned Apostle Junia, a woman who Paul called chief among apostles.(Rom16:7)
I also mentioned Deborah(Jdg4:4). She was the judge over Israel which was a greater role than today's pastoral ministry, as it was the governing role/seat of power over the whole nation. Moses was the first judge who handed down to Joshua and it continued all the way to Samuel before Israel rebelled and said they wanted a king over them.
Paul never had the slightest idea to suggest that women should not pastor or teach, and that's why no mention of such is made by any others in NT as it was never a doctrine.
He was indicating a spiritual principle from the Torah that must be applied spiritually and not literally. It has however been taken literally hence the confusion in churches today about female ministry.

EmekaBlue:
how to do it?
True. But believing in your mind you can do it won't get it done, you would need real faith to do it. Here's an excerpt on the difference between faith and mental belief

...Imagine trying to describe snow in Africa before the TV and freezer era. How would you, when there is no substance in Africa similar.
It's similarly impossible to explain faith because it comes from a spiritual dimension and must be experienced to be known but the Lord Jesus Christ, lacking a parallel eventually used the human word for "belief" to represent it because it ultimately yields a belief. Faith itself is essentially different from believing, though producing belief/conviction of its own.
Believing is something all humans can do without faith just by learning whether religious knowledge or scientific. And we have all developed belief systems since birth. This believing is not faith.
Faith is spiritual substance, God's own essence which he gives to men out of Himself. When present and operating, it overcomes whatever at all stands in its way and never fails, not bound by natural limitations because it comes from a supernatural dimension.

The confusion today and the seeming failure of "faith"(wrongly called) even among respected ministers of God, is believing stuff which may be true indeed but believing exclusive of the divine essence itself i.e. faith.
But the problem believers have is after they receive faith, they never learn to get it to operate rather they simply sit back and learn all of the Christian belief system from the ministers of God and scriptures. No matter how true the doctrine may be, it can only form true beliefs and guide our actions. However, to get the supernatural results that come from faith, the believer must go beyond this to activating his faith.
Like every believer on this thread will tell you they believe Jesus can heal the sick yet if they prayed for healing and do not see sickness healed, while their belief is indeed true, the resulting failure is only due to the lack of faith despite the presence of belief.
For instance, I have no physical evidence or logical reason to believe the death of God on a cross for my sins but when the spiritual substance entered my heart, it made me know that this indeed happened, also for my sake and that it bought my forgiveness leading me to freedom instantly from guilt of all wrongs done without a human agency.
People who grow up in church may believe this but if without the spiritual substance of faith in their heart, they remain separated from God, despite their religious activities. However someone who never learned this but who then receives this spiritual substance of faith in heart, will then be restored to fellowship with God.
The believer can go on to develop his mastery of this spiritual substance of faith that earned him forgiveness and get any other supernatural results he desires.

And how to have faith?
By prayer(Mk11:22-24). Pray and never stop praying until the spiritual substance of faith is activated inside you. Once faith is activated, stop praying, it must come to pass.

Fasting: Some kind of faithlessness needs fasting to deal with it(Mt17:21)

Your understanding of the rapture is not scriptural but only traditional. You will do yourself good to adjust.

Here's an excerpt from a previous post on some of this that may help and you may ask for clarifications.
So many ideas fly around about the great tribulation most times neglecting what the Lord Himself said about as well as His messengers.
First, let us establish the fact that the great tribulation is different from the outpouring of the wrath of God(Mt24:29) which comes immediately after to rescue the saints and judge the antichrist regime. The word was coined from this passage from the Lord -
Matthew 24:21
[21]For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
And you only need to read the next verse to know who will be around at the time-
Matthew 24:22
[22]And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the sake of the chosen ones those days shall be shortened.
So yes, there will be the chosen ones on earth during the great tribulation.

Furthermore, the early church was taught what immediate signs to look out for preceding the Lord's coming
2 Thessalonians 2:1
[1]Now we beg you, brethren, over the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and our gathering together unto him,
Take note now:
2 Thessalonians 2:3
[3]Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come an apostasy first, and the man of sin(antichrist) be revealed, the son of perdition;
So yes, again all believers were taught to expect to be present when the AC shows up and that must first be before the Lord's coming. They were taught by Paul himself to expect this first not the rapture as the next immediate event. So the rapture must come only after this

And how does this all fit together?
Some believers who pay the price and finish the full course of their race on time will overcome death, not having to die(1Cor15:51-57) and be caught up(raptured) to reign with Christ in the heavenlies having displaced Satan and His regime from there(1Thes4:17, Eph6:12). This will be in the middle of the AC's 7year revelation to the world, i.e. 3 and half yrs after the AC is revealed and just before He takes over the whole world to rule for 3 and half years.
The believers who don't finish early will meet with the takeover of the world by the AC in the middle of His seven year revelation and endure for the remaining 3 and 1/2 yrs the great oppression (tribulation) of the AC.
Those who will be raptured will not be caught unawares by the event but will be fully abreast of its hour because they will be dwelling in light as sons of the light while believers who will be caught unawares will be left behind because they walk in darkness not knowing what God is doing and not one with Him.(1Thes5:1-6). So if now, you don't hear God clearly, you should be thinking of missing the rapture already.


PS. Again it's more important to develop your spirituality to the utmost each day as if it's your last regardless of when exactly or how the Lord's coming is. If you cannot attain to the perfect standard of God today, do you risk thinking you will under the antichrist.
So after all this, let us seek the knowledge that appropriates the finished works of Christ in our lives and makes it our physical reality.

Here are my questions:
Do men of God spiritually share
What is the scriptural basis for that if yes?
Does 1 Corinthian 14:34-35 also applies to pastors wife?
Or could it be that pastors have indeed personalize churches they preside over as family business? Please I will like to learn more from you guys. Happy Sunday!
PremierGuy:


I have been having the same thoughts as well, maybe someone can explain.

In orthodox churches apart from Catholic, when a man is ordained, their wives are not part of the package or referred to as 'Rev Mrs' or 'Bishop Mrs'. This is more common within the pentecostal and charismatic churches.
Happy to learn.
Missyajoke:
I don't know

A man being called to ministry doesn't automatically mean his wife is called to that. She might be called to any other career. What they may share however is complementary assistance to each other. e.g. The wives career services being used in one way or another to help the man's ministry.

However, if you want to know if a woman can have a pastoral office over male congregation, the scripture is not in anyway against this but only a misunderstanding of Paul's parable leads to confusion. Here's is an excerpt of mine that may help and you may ask for clarifications.


... This is also why you have a challenge with Paul's words in 1Cor14:35, but you wouldn't have if you saw in v34"...as also says the Torah..." and the Torah is always the basis of similar injunctions Paul gave (also in 1Cor11, which is based on the law of a woman shaving her head when no more under her husband and covering her head once under a man).
Now slow down and read Paul's letters/acts and you would find him fighting tooth and toenail with anyone who tried to impose the traditional/literal/natural applications of the Torah as enemies of Christ's cross and dogs(Php3:2,18) and never bringing such a yoke on the churches(Gal3:10). So tell me, why would you think Paul would hypocritically put a literal/traditional application of the law stated in v34 on the churches? Because you missed Paul's ideology of the application of the law only in its spiritual context(Rom7:14) and never again in its traditional/literal. That's why he would say no more literal curcumcision(Gal5:2-4) but again present a spiritual circumcision(Rom2:28-29, Php3:3) and he would apply the law of the ox not for a literal ox but for the spiritual ox, the ministers of God (1Cor9:7-9). Also in these about male and female, they are referred to the spiritual Male and spiritual Female in the context of ministerial order, here in the Prophetic Ministry and in 1Tim2 in doctrine teaching ministry

Don't also forget what I told you about 2 or 3 witnesses. Never establish a doctrine without 2 or 3 witnesses else you come up with falsehood.(Mt18:19, Deut19:15, Heb10:28, 1Tim5:19)
Consider that no one ever brought gender-specific instructions for the administration of gifts because it didn't ever exist and Paul, himself makes mention of eminent Apostle Junia too(who by office must have had churches under her oversight). Deborah in the OT was also the judge(which was the role of Supreme leader in Israel before they changed it for kings)

When you tell yourself that you would complete your PhD for example, even where all the odds are against you completing it, and without any real evidence that you will, when you believe and continue to read, that is Faith.

Kobojunkie:
i never told you i am trying to find my way though. That you assumed that ,well, is all you.

Start with what God said in jeremiah 17, what Jesus said, also verified by John the apostle, that Only God will teach His people everything. Compare that to what Paul did and what his suggestion that some of you are called to ministry of teaching .

This is just one of many things Paul supposedly did different from Jesus Christ's teaching.
You believe God never intended to teach men through other men?
But it was also God who said (Jer 3:15 -16), bear in mind that was an endtime prophecy from the context and feeding clearly speaks of teaching knowledge.
It was the Lord Jesus that told Peter(John 21:15-17) and the disciples(Mat28:20). It was also the Lord who appointed the stewards to feed his people(Lk12:42-48). It was the Lord that gave gifts of men to the church to build them(Ps68:18, Eph4:8-15, Heb2:4). That's why the Lord didn't tell us to reject the servants but to test them by fruit(Mt7:15-17). You see that he acknowledges both those with good fruits and those with bad.
What do you think Peter meant when he said(1Pet5:1-4) and why do you think he gave approval of what Paul was doing(2Pet2:15-16) together with all the apostles in Jerusalem also approving Paul (Gal2:2)
Who do you expect the feed the lambs? They'll just fend for themselves. Not until someone nurtures them to the point of mastering the art of following the Spirit totally.
The same Paul even quoted Jeremiah in Heb8:11 and Heb10:16. So do you really think he didn't know that?

Get this understanding. We are headed to the point God spoke of through Jeremiah where we will all be mature enough to depend totally on the Spirit within us without any human contribution, which is Paul's point in (Eph4:13,15) but we will afford ourselves of the provision of the Spirit in men while at it which is where most are now(Eph4:12,14, Gal4:1-2) and this doesn't take away His place as we must only accept what men say if He agrees and reject it if He doesn't.
The safeguard God gives us is that we can verify what is being taught by the Holy Spirit within us so we are not misled by these men God appoints in case they slip.
But as long as 1.) what the men are teaching is in line with scriptures and 2.) towards helping you grow in your personal connection with the Spirit, and 3.) backed by genuine manifestations of the Holy Spirit, then you are still learning from the Spirit and towards sole dependence on Him.

Btw, why should you even be speaking to people about Jesus and trying to show them His ways if you think men don't have to teach God's ways to others?

You misunderstood John btw. John speaks of discerning the antichrists, not general doctrine lest he betrays himself by (1Jn1:1-4 and all his writings) and for the antichrists, you don't need necessarily need men to guide you, the Spirit will always deter you if you even know how to hear Him. Men can teach you that btw.

Only my lens create the distortion?
Yeah, just like I said before. Always the case if you ever see any contradiction in scripture.

I would then ask you how you have been following the Spirit and if you've been filled with the Holy Spirit/Baptism of the Spirit?

It's the body that must be brought under. Those who live as their human nature tells them to, have their minds controlled by what human nature wants. Those who live as the Spirit tells them to, have their minds controlled by what the Spirit wants.

If all you do is feed your flesh, human nature with all it desires, then be rest assured that the Spirit man will be so dull. Fasting is a denial, which helps sharpens the Spirit since the body/human nature does not have the upper hand having been brought under.
Yes plus everytime you deny any of your own desires, be it by fasting or choices you make in daily living, it goes up as incense to heaven stored in heavenly vessels and when your incense vessel in heaven is full, you get an supply of His Spirit.
Kobojunkie:

What do you mean by," if all you do is feed the flesh...."? undecided
Gratifying the desires of your soul(mind and heart)

How exactly does fasting "sharpen" the Spirit? undecided
Faith is the means of receiving spiritual things from God. Our human desires stifle faith and keep us in faithlessness.
It is this kind of faithlessness stemming from carnal desires that gets dealt with by fasting. (Mat17:20-21)

How can the body be said to refer to human nature as far as fasting is concerned? undecided
The body is not the human nature. Human nature lies in our soul and the body is just an outgrowth of human nature. But the appetites of the body also re-enforce the desires of our soul e.g. the pleasure your soul derives from a good meal merely intended to meet your body's needs.
So the body can be used to deny the soul pleasure as well, in fasting. (1Cor9:27)

bloomstar:


Ok let me read it up
Don't get confused. Ananias and Sapphira did not blaspheme against the Spirit. They didn't give up their faith in God. They lied in the presence of the Holy Spirit and God used them as an example to the rest to show the rest of the church that He would not take that level of hypocrisy. It was hypocrisy and lying but it was not blasphemy against the Spirit. He had always done such even in OT with people like Nathan and Abihu, Dathan and the Levites, Uzzah and the ark, the young prophet and the old prophet. God kills when he wants to make an example of things he wouldn't tolerate it set a standard. These are however sins against God but not blasphemy against the Holy Spirit.
The point Jesus was making is that the people who blasphemed the Father, still had hope because He sent His son, even if they blasphemed the Son, they still had hope because they were yet to receive the Spirit, but after they receive the Spirit and blaspheme Him, there is no other person in the Godhead they can receive and hence nothing God can do for them again(Lk12:8-10) and you can see the definition of blasphemy there as denying God before men.
The Pharisees did not blaspheme against the Holy Spirit either because they were yet to receive the Holy Spirit. They blasphemed against the Son, Jesus Christ. They could still receive forgiveness because He died for them, too. And the most any sinner can do is blaspheme against the Son because they don't have the Holy Spirit living inside them.
But the believer who has already received Jesus' sacrifice, in the seal of the Holy Spirit inside of Him and then later turns away and discards/ denies Him as well as his faith is the only one that can blaspheme against the Spirit and will have no other sacrifice to save Him anymore. His case is worse than a sinner(2Pet2:20-21).
With this understanding, you can go through my initial post again to understand the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit and know you can not commit it since your conscience is still sensitive to God.

You can also consider this excerpt from a previous post of mine and ask for clarifications. It's fail-safe but requires patience.

Finallydead:

You see what you're now asking for is the whole essence of the gospel. It is for you to be crucified with Him so that He may be risen in you. The old man with all his lusts giving way to the new creation. You cant kill the flesh by power and might but by His life swallowing up death in you.

God is not asking you to prove yourself to Him, He just wants you to practise self-denial and subjugation of the flesh everyday as long as you're still breathing, with all that you can muster, mechanically till you reach a certain point where His life takes over completely from your effort. You can never be machine perfect at this before this point, else you wouldn't be needing Christ's life rising inside you.
Remember, this is not about performance. God is not scoring your failures or success. This is about engaging a spiritual law that persistence will connect you to the spiritual life inside you. So if you quit at any point, you miss out on experiencing the spiritual life and power that God has put inside you to deliver you.
But as you keep at attempting to deny the flesh each new opportunity despite countless failures, perseveringly, at a certain point, the mystery of resurrection life will be activated in you like Jesus after which you will experience His life rising in you liberating you from the flesh.
So from today, start denying the flesh every opportunity you can and decide to keep at it until you reach this certain point.
Determine not to look at ladies lustfully and continue no matter your failures, keep trying to stay away from stimulants, friends or movies, also not to speak what does not glorify God, to always put God's cause before your self interests, to put the needs of others above yours, to pray even when you don't feel like so, fast a lot even when you don't feel like, keep denying yourself in all such exercises until you experience Christ's manifested life in you.
Do not be deterred by your many failed attempts but just keep doing it and in due time, you will see victory when His life manifests to swallows up death in you. You find this principle in Col3:4- 8.
Of course doing all this without expecting the life of Christ to manifest in you ends up in religious/ ceremonial works

But as you keep at attempting to deny the flesh each new opportunity despite countless failures, perseveringly, at a certain point, the mystery of resurrection life will be activated in you like Jesus after which you will experience His life rising in you liberating you from the flesh.
So from today, start denying the flesh every opportunity you can and decide to keep at it until you reach this certain point.
Determine not to look at ladies lustfully and continue no matter your failures, keep trying to stay away from stimulants, friends or movies, also not to speak what does not glorify God, to always put God's cause before your self interests, to put the needs of others above yours, to pray even when you don't feel like so, fast a lot even when you don't feel like, keep denying yourself in all such exercises until you experience Christ's manifested life in you.
Do not be deterred by your many failed attempts but just keep doing it and in due time, you will see victory when His life manifests to swallows up death in you. You find this principle in Col3:4- 8.
Of course doing all this without expecting the life of Christ to manifest in you ends up in religious/ ceremonial works

JourneytoEL:
if someone has been told severally that she has the call of God in her life, but she has never heard a vision or heard his voice about it. She fasts and prays regularly but nothing so far, what is the person meant to do?
Didn't want to do this on the other thread. One must continue to make the spiritual investments. Spiritual investments are measured in heaven. When the sacrifices, reach the mark, an outpouring of the Spirit is granted. So just keep investing, be unrelenting and resolute and in due time you would see results, whatever you want. Do you want the supernatural evidently, to hear God's voice like you hear men, to have God manifest in any way at all, tangible power/anointing to do God's work? Seek relentlessly and you will have.
This is my experience and what I believed even before I got desired results so I wasn't even surprised when the results started coming. Also verified in scriptures.(Gal6:7-9, Lk18:1-9, Heb11:6)

Paul chained Jesus teaching
Kobojunkie:
Was it Paul or were His letters edited though? That is what I want to believe. undecided
You would have to be greatly misguided to believe Paul ever changed the Lord's teaching. Can you show a single instance of this?
This is why only the Spirit can help you understand the scripture not your carnal mind. (1Cor2:14). Your carnal mind would lead you into grave errors like this one.

Ichuka, you simply are justified by the works which faith alone can produce in a man and I think you already know this.

Dencotext it is very wrong and unspiritual of you to come to a thread started by a servant of God whom you know is on a mission for God and has flock here and try to "rebuke" him openly. It is very unscriptural if you want to talk about scripture(1Tim5:1) and can be no better than seen as from a wrong spirit.
Are you trying to get the angels working here angry? Be warned!
If there is even a reason to rebuke him and you were mature about it you could have sent him a mail. And if he doesn't agree with your view, why not just face what the Lord has given you.
There are diversities of operations but one God(1Cor 12:6) and we are members of one body with different functions.
I can assure you there is a place for God's wrath against sons of perdition if the Spirit of God orchestrates it which is what happened in CharlyG1 case. As a matter of fact that's exactly why the Lord sent him there. Go and read what Paul did with barjesus.
There is, of course, always the place for maintaining love towards enemies but we must follow the Spirit's leading and always be on His side
Please do not break spiritual protocol and go search your heart of what inspires you to this act because we will all give account at the Lord's tribunal.

Hiswordxray pls understand and be patient with our beloved brother kobojunkie. I perceive he's got the purest intentions. He wouldn't have anything less than our Lord's standard and is suspicious for any deviation. He's got the good zeal some of us have had when we began in the faith viz. to be truly devoted to our Lord.
But I perceive he is quite young in the faith and thinks the best way to go about it is to try to obey the letter especially Jesus' words, to the jot and tittle. He also seems to think the words of the others in scripture can even mislead.
So please help him understand that isn't exactly how we are to follow the Lord. For people like kobo, we have to skillfully use the letter to show him that the letter only tries to lead us to only follow the Spirit. Then maybe he would begin to see the need to follow only the Spirit and not the letter itself.

Bodydialect57:
You are absolutely right MH, the acid test of true possession of THIS grace is the turning away from all ungodliness. At conversion we received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba, Father. Romans 8:15.
We are no longer in bondage again to fear cos of our adoption into God's family, but we must grow through training by His Spirit to be like Him. If we choose to remain babes, yielding to every motion is sins, then, though heirs, we won't be any different from servants. The ultimate purpose of God for our lives is to be like Him in all manner of conversations. The present manifestations of the Spirit are just crumbs compared to what He has in stock for us. We must grow in Him to have access to those things. The more will grow in His knowledge, the more access we gain into what He has for us by His Spirit. 1Corinth 2:9-10.

And yes, the anointing of God on our lives does not equate God's approval of our character. We must grow in grace and in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.2Peter 3:18

God bless you sister.

Here's an excerpt from a related thread:
Sinning willfully can only be correctly defined in the context of the text.
Also consider how drastic it is that Paul says there is no sacrifice remaining for such a sin and hence no forgiveness except fearful judgement(Heb10:26-27).
Actually, contrary to his aim, @OP picked a text that contravenes eternal security.
So first off, who was Paul referring to? Paul was certainly referring to those who were believers already but we're pressured to abandon faith by persecution from neighbouring Jews, as shown in the preceding verse
Hebrews 10:25[25]Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

The succeeding verses also confirm he referred to believers, the only people who could ever have been sanctified by the blood of the Son.
Hebrews 10:29[29]Of how much sorer punishment, suppose you, shall he be thought worthy, who has rejected with disdain the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant with which he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and has insulted the Spirit of grace?

So what exactly is the willful sin? It is not just any sin a believer commits, of course. It is only the sin of apostasy- an outright turning back on faith in the Lord that one once held(which faith is the only means of salvation) i.e. when the believer no longer wants Jesus as his Lord. We also see that this apostasy called "insulting the Spirit of grace" in Heb10:29 was what the Lord called blasphemy of the Holy Spirit which can never be forgiven:
Luke 12:10[10]And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man(unbelievers), it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemes the Holy Spirit, it shall not be forgiven

This sin is also what John calls the "sin unto [eternal]death" which when a brother commits, there is no room for forgiveness, hence no recommendation to pray for such(1Jn5:16). It leads instantly to (eternal)death(1Jn5:16). Every other sin doesn't instantly lead to eternal death(1Jn5:17) but can lead to the delusion of committing this sin if allowed to harden the heart, by continuing in them(Heb3:13)
1Jn 5:16-17 KJV 16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it. 17 All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

Not every believer qualifies to commit this sin but only one who has passed through all stages of spiritual development mentioned in Heb6:4-6 which can be summarised as having made Jesus Lord first and then having been baptized into the Holy Spirit with the evidence of spiritual gifts of power/anointing.
Heb 6:4-6 KJV 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and became sharers of the Holy Spirit, 5 And have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the age to come, 6 If they shall fall away, to renew them again unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame.
It is however very rare for a true believer to commit such a sin.

It is noteworthy that the impossibility of redeeming such believers is not because God's mercy can ever be exhausted but because sin automatically hardens the conscience hence a believer who continues in sin to a certain point becomes totally hardened in heart and deceived by sin(Heb3:13) such that he himself no more wants to retain faith in the Lord for security of his soul. Which faith alone is the only basis to enjoy God's provision of salvation.
Hence the unforgivable sin is apostasy a.k.a. blasphemy(insult) of the Holy Spirit a.k.a. sin unto [eternal]death a.k.a. willful sin.

A simple test every believer can take to check if they have committed this sin is whether or not you still have a desire to have your sins cleansed by the Lord. If you do, no matter how many sins you have committed, you haven't committed the unforgivable. But if you no longer want Jesus, His mercy and cleansing in your life, then you have.
