Great write up

Thanks Bro

From now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. (2 Corinthians 5:16)

The word "flesh" as used here is comprehensive and general. Not knowing Him after the flesh, and not knowing one another after the flesh means really what we should think if we were to say we do not know one another naturally, in the natural realm. Whatever that might be, that is all-embracing. We know one another as we know Christ, spiritually. The context here sets forth that our relationship with Christ in the new creation is purely a spiritual thing, and therefore our relationships with one another as being in Christ are spiritual relationships. The whole new creation is a spiritual matter, because it is Christ.

That leads us to this specific point, which goes right to the heart of things. In this realm the thing which dominates is the measure of Christ. Everything here is determined and governed by the measure of Christ. Christ fills this whole realm; Christ dominates this whole realm in a spiritual way; from this realm of the new creation everything which is not Christ is excluded: all things are out from God. We might say that God's world is Christ, so far as we are concerned. The entire sphere of God for us is Christ. For us as believers there is nothing else whatever in relation to God, but Christ. Nothing is accepted by Him, but Christ. Nothing is blessed by Him, but Christ. Nothing is used by Him, but Christ. Nothing is seen or considered by Him, but Christ. Here, filling God's entire realm so far as we are concerned, is Christ, only Christ.

The events in Jeremiah 18:1-6 reveal that God speaks to His own at the time He chooses, using a format of His choice. You cannot rush God to speak His mind, and neither can you identify any style in particular as the format He normally follows whenever He wants to speak. In times past He has spoken through the whirlwind, thunder, fire, a donkey and through the works of a potter. If you desire to relate with Him, you need to learn to wait on Him until you hear Him speak, and you also need to open up your heart because He can speak to you through the most unexpected and inconsequential of things. God can even send you to the ants to hear His word, as He did in Proverbs 6:6. It is amazing that God told Jeremiah to go to the potter’s house in order to hear His words there. Why didn’t God just talk to Jeremiah right where he was? The ways of our God are past finding out! Jeremiah met the potter working on a vessel that got distorted in his hands as he worked, and so he moulded it into another vessel, as seemed good to him. After observing this, God then spoke to Jeremiah, saying in Jeremiah 18:6:
“O house of Israel, cannot I do with you as this potter? Saith the Lord. Behold, as the clay is in the potter’s hand, so are ye in mine hand, O house of Israel.”
Although all powers in heaven and earth belong to God, it is not in His character to force His will or desire on anyone. He loves to work with pliable materials that willingly yield themselves to His authority. He loves those who give Him the freedom to mould whatever He deems fit with their lives, just like the potter did with the clay. In other words, God want His children to completely surrender their lives to Him so that He can make something absolutely glorious out of them. He considers our resistance to His will as an unwise rejection of His love and beneficial grace. God is asking you today, Will you allow Me remould and reshape your life as the Potter? Be wise and surrender your life to Jesus today. He will make something beautiful out of your life.

The destiny of anyone who continues to resist or strive with God is like a broken vessel or smashed clay jar that is damaged beyond repair (Isaiah 45:9, Jeremiah 19:10-13). Let’s consider the examples of some people who ended up as broken vessels. In 1st Samuel 15:1-35, God rejected Saul as king because of his continued and unrepentant disobedience, rebellion and stubbornness. Also, Gehazi’s situation went beyond redemption in 2nd Kings 5:20-27: he inherited Naaman’s leprosy as a result of untamed greed and covetousness. Judas Iscariot had the good fortune of being with Jesus, like other disciples, but he rejected several warnings the Lord gave and ended up as a broken vessel. You will not end up as a broken vessel in Jesus’ Name.
Written by Pastor E.A. Adeboye.

The Will and Purpise of God must always come to pass .
Any broken broken vessel can be made anew by the Potter to His pleasure.

@OP
To some extent you are right.
If a believer focus on the Word of God 100% in studying it daily then the Word will completely transform him into Christ likeness.
Our problem is the flesh
God has no use with TBe flesh and it has to be completely destroy.
As long as our old man(flesh) is still alive satan has a ground to accuse us before God day n night.
A Christains that his flesh is completely dead has no generational curses

At OP ANY ONE (spiritualist or co ) that gave you these info to achieve a specified goal might not work
So many reasons why it may fail.

Preciousgirl:
The earth was recreated?

Yes.
God has already created the heavens and earth in Gen1:1.
Then something happened to the earth that was created in the begining to become void,shapeless and filled with darkness.
Recreation started in Gen1:3

Before the re-creation of earth in Gen1:2

Goshen360:
I can't but agree more!

That's the truth bro
Longtime

Christains are Mobile Altars. And that's the most important altar.

Very true OP
It's all of God.just like in Gen1:1 it said "in the Begining God created the heavens and earth. It was solely God in the work of creation.
The bible didn't say "in the Begining God and man created the heavens and earth.all creation was done by God alone,man was brought in on the sixth day,and man"a first day was the seventh day which was Gods rest day.so man first day was to rest in Gods Grace.
As it is in the old so it will ever be in the new.

Shepherd00:
Don't mind the dead man who claims he is a Christian. A Couple Christian who doesn't know what the Church is.

The truth is the church is already glorious without spots or wrinkles in Gods sight.
If the Spirit of God cannot sin, so is the of Church.

The church can never die.because she is the Spirit of God in every Christain.
In Gods view the church knows no sin and can never sin.

Some have said that Romans 8:29-30 is the only chain in the entire Bible.It is a chain of different rings linked together.This is a most precious and complete chain.The first ring of this chain is God's foreknowledge of man. The second ring is our predestination to be conformed to the image of His Son.The third ring is the calling of those who have been predestinated.The fourth ring is the justification of those who have been called.The fifth ring is the glorification of those who have been justified.It is a series of rings linked to one another. We think that we first knew God when we were saved and justified.But the Bible says that before we were saved and justified, God knew us already. Those whom God knew long ago, He marked out. To be marked out means to have a check mark put by our name, indicating that He has claimed us for Himself.For what purpose were we marked out? It is so that we would be like His unique Son, Jesus Christ. He not only wants one Son, Jesus Christ; He came to mark us out so that we would be identical to His Son.Those who were marked out are called. The ones who are called are known by Him. He called the ones whom He knew and marked out. After He called them,He justified them.
If justification is the first step in a Christian's relationship with God, it does not matter much for us not to be justified again in the future. If I pick up two coins today and throw them into the fire tomorrow, it does not matter much to me. Not to be justified is, of course, a loss on man's part. But God suffers no loss. However, we have to know that the history of our relationship with God does not start from justification and salvation. Rather, it starts from God's foreknowledge. God's foreknowledge is the beginning of everything. To be marked out is the second step. To be called is the third step. Only after the third step do we have justification. If we were to lose our justification and become sinners again, we would put a question mark on God's omniscience. Since God foreknew us and marked us out, how can we still perish after we are saved? A person predestinated by God can never be thrown into hell and burned like a piece of wood.

Roman8:30
New International Version
And those he predestined, he also called; those he called, he also justified; those he justified, he also glorified.
How can a glorified sons/daughter losses there salvation?

finalboss:
bullshit

Meaning?

Rev1:12
Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands;

Colossians1:11
being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience ...

1Cor:16:13
New American Standard Bible.
Be on the alert, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

traffwire:
When we allow the spirit of God to lead us, surely His fruits will be seen. If you would agree, submissiveness can't occur without humility. And humility is one the fruits of the spirit. So, everything still boils down to making the spirit of God the lead not man.

True
John3:8..The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

traffwire:
So, which other authority is superior to the called the he/she has to be submissive to except God?

Submissiveness doesn't equity obedience
Submission is total but obedience to delegate Authourity isn't .
Acts5:29..Then Peter and the other apostles answered and said, We ought to obey God rather than men.
So here obedience isn't total but submission is remember.
Just be totally submissive to ur parents and husband including the delegate guys there.
But that DOSENT mean u have to obey them
100% depending on the leading of the Holy Spirit.

traffwire:
The spirit of the prophets. The quote is okay but not pleased with the application. I still stand on the point that we can't decide for God. Yet, didn't say gifts shouldn't be controlled.

Tell me, what are the factors responsible for building a long lasting relationship with God

The Gift was given without conditions.
And to fully exhibit such Gifts one must sit under the feet of Christ to learn submission and obedience.
She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord's feet listening to what he said..Luke10:39
Mary always sat at Christ feet listening,while her sister is always quay doing so many good things.when her sister complained what respond did she receive from Christ?
Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42but few things are needed—or indeed only one. f Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”
We should know when to work and time to sit on His feet.
That's when to be submissive and obedience to His word and also to any delegate authority arround us.
So to fully express His will we must SIT with Him.always.in our studies and prayers.

traffwire:
What if the spirit of God at the moment is demanding her to speak to the congregation? Let's try to always balance the scripture! Christ gave His body and blood nor one and leaving another. We can't dictate to the spirit how He should work. Leave God with the decision!

1cor14:32
The spirits of prophets are subject to the control of prophets.
These verse said it all.
You must control ur gift not the other way round.
If bible study is from 5pm to 6:30pm every Wednesday in ur church.you must not exceed that time.thats been in control of the gift/spirit.
Our God isn't a God of confusion.
His orderliness stands.a man has one covering that's God.but women has two which are God and man.thats Gods arrangement from the begining.
Any woman that's not ministering through a head won't last with God.

traffwire:
You're right. I'm sure she does. However, no one can control the gift of God without being first submissive to the spirit of God and His Word. Once she has this, surely her way is right!

Rom11:29
for the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable.
By the above verse any body can exercise Gods gift.either he/she is born again or not.
The key here is submission.submission to her parent or husband and she must be under a man of God regarding her ministry.
Women aren't suppose to take major role in church.
They must speak or minister through a head.

She Must have a covering over her head that she's 100% submissive to.
If not she can't control the gift of God in her life with time.

Icor15:45
New International Version
So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.

The death of the Lord Jesus is inclusive.The resurrection of the Lord Jesus is alike inclusive. In 1 Corinthians 15. 45, 47 two remarkable names or titles are used of the Lord Jesus.He is spoken of there as " the last Adam " and He is spoken of too as " the second man ".Scripture does not refer to Him as the second Adam but as " the last Adam " nor does it refer to Him as the last Man, but as " the second man ".The distinction is to be noted, for it enshrines a truth of great value.
As the last Adam, Christ is the sum total of humanity,as the second Man He is the Head of a new race.So we have here two unions,the one relating to His death and the other to His resurrection.In the first place His union with the race as " the last Adam " began historically at Bethlehem and ended at the cross and the tomb. In it He gathered up into Himself all that was in Adam and took it to judgment and death.in the second place our union with Him as " the second man " begins in resurrection and ends in eternity? which is to say, it never ends-for,having in His death done away with the first man in whom God's purpose was frustrated,He rose again as Head of a new race of men,in whom that purpose shall be fully realised.
When therefore the Lord Jesus was crucified on the cross,He was crucified as the last Adam.All that was in the first Adam was gathered up and done away in Him.We were included there.As the last Adam He wiped out the old race, as the second Man He brings in the new race.It is in His resurrection that He stands forth as the second Man,and there too we are included. " For if we have become united with him by the likeness of his death,we shall be also by the likeness of his resurrection " (Romans 6. 5). We died in Him as the last Adam,we live in Him as the second Man.The Cross is thus the power of God which translates us from Adam to Christ

And the land had rest forty years. And Othniel the son of Kenaz died...Judges3:11
My bro,without war there's no peace.one can never have Peace in his family,buisness,spiritual growth without being victorious in battle.
The greatest battle won is that which was won on the Cross of Calvary.if God should open our eyes to see what he accomplish on the Cross, then you know we aren't even praying but playing.

Janosky:
He/she still Budatuum for life eee no dey change.
Why does modern science employ DNA /forensics to trace or identify victims/ casualties of tragic fire accidents?
Your DNA must match those of your blood relations

Hi dude
Call it whatsoever you want.it changes nothing of his nature.
It's the source/origin that matters not what one does.
And according to the bible we have two source of life.
Adam/Christ .Romans5:19.
We can't jump from one to the other that's impossible.Luke18:27.
Since it was by birth we inherited our sinful nature,we have to died to be free from it.that is putting the sinful nature to death.Romans7:2
So bro "ITS EITHER WE DIE OR HE DIES FOR US"
There's no third option.

budaatum:
I can only inform you that I am not the buda of yesterday not to talk of a year ago or ten. And if I "become the Pope,Doctor,President or an arm robber", I would very definitely be a different buda to the buda of today even if my dna and name remains the same.

A different budaspirit manifests everyday.

Hi bro
It doesn't matter how long you have changed.
The issue here is one of source.
Because there's only two kind source according to the bible.in Romans5:19
It's either you are from Adam or Christ simple.
There's no middle nature.
And to over the former nature you have to born not of blood,parent decent or the will of a father.....John1:12
12But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name: 13Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.

budaatum:
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;” Rom 3:23

I wouldn't say the above is false since even without Adam's sins, I fall short by myself. And even 5:12 has its standing in that I continue to commit the sin Adam sinned. But that Adam's sin is my sin too, that's harsh.

Would God really punish one for the sins of another?

For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.Romans5:19
When Adam disobeyed God,we all affirm to his decision because we where in him when he ate the fruit.
So,it's not what one does that makes him a sinner,No!but who you are.
Let's assume your name is Budaatom.
You didn't chose the name,for you where born (a) budaatum.whatsoever you do in these life you are a budaatum.
If you become the Pope,Doctor,President or an arm robber you are still budaatum.
Nothing can make you otherwise because of the issue of birth.
Since you are born a budaatum,it's only by death that can make you something other than a budaatum.
It's only by death that one is free from being a sinner.
That's the meaning of the above verse.

Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame. (Hebrews 12:2)

The passion of the Cross is the way of our release, and if you consider your own spiritual experience, those of you who have any experience of a walk with God, you know quite well that it has been through times of deep and acute suffering that you have found fresh releases; fresh releases in your spiritual life. Is it not true? Yes, we pass into a time of excruciating spiritual and soul suffering. We do not know what the Lord is doing, what He means by this, what He is after, but we know the features of our experience and know what it is that we are suffering, and it goes on. We, of course, ask the Lord to stop it, to bring it to a quick end, to deliver us from it. He takes no notice of us, and it is only those people who get out the other end who say, ‘Thank God, He did not take any notice.’ In the meantime, we think He is anything but kind and good and doing the right thing, but as we get on under His hand, we begin to see and to sense that He is dealing with something. Maybe He is dealing with our pride, our independence, or our irresponsibility, for example. That is the issue that comes up, and we are faced all the time with something about ourselves that is almost devastating. We would not have believed that that was so strong in us.

Oh, of course we were always ready to believe that that is in mankind and in us as a part of mankind in a general way. Yes, we would never have resented being told that there was pride or something like that about us, but we would never have believed how deeply rooted and terribly strong that thing is until it was put to a fiery test and everything was held up, and we saw that everything in our life and work for God was held up on that point.... And we know quite well that what the Lord was after was not the pulverising of us, as we thought, the winding up of us, but to bring about enlargement, to bring about release, and release always lies along the line of the Cross, the passion. Enlargement always lies in that direction.

CHAPTER TWO

FACTS ABOUT DREAM


1. God talks to everyone through dreams. Whether Christians , unbelievers, pagan, etc. Dreams wasn't created for only Christians.

2. Your destiny at one time or the other, was shown to you in your dream. (Although not all, but clues to it)

3. Your dream is a pre recorded image shown to you that you have no control over the events. The moment you discover you are co trolling the events on your dream at will, you are no longer dreaming. You have entered the astra world. WARNING.

4. The moment you take your dream life serious, God el take it serious and begin to speak to you.

5. There is a gift called interpretation of dreams. Its a rare gift to people by God. However, some people by experience and gift of knowledge can also help interpreted. However there will be some dreams they will tell you , sorry I can't help. However those with the gift can almost always interpreted for you VERY EASILY EXCEPT GOD PURPOSELY DOESNT WANT TO SHOW YOU.

6. If you can recall your dreams easily, 50% of your problem in life is solved.

7. The more you live a clean life morally your recalling of your dream life will be sharper.

8. In every family, (except for those in deep wickedness), God always raises a dreamer that will be a watchman dreamer for the whole family. This person will be the one to be first notified of any thing that is about to happen in the family. Especially deaths. God will first look for this person amongst the adults. If he can't get any, he will immediately choose a child in that family. MANY CHILDREN WERE NOTIFIED OF THEIR PARENTS DEATH. BEFORE THEY DIED THROUGH DREAMS. THEY JUST DIDNT KNOW AT THAT TIME

9. Dreams are tied to idioms, parables. Beliefs and understanding of the dreamer. Meaning that, I'm an environment, if purple is symbolic of death, and God wants to earn someone he will use that purple color, although purple is generally regarded as royalty everywhere.

10. Many people that say they can Interpret dreams are doing so from experience and knowledge. True dream interpreters with the gift are scare

11. Apart from the gift of interpretation of dreamers, there are many people called dreamers. This are a special kind of people that God talks exclusively BH dreams. They can be talking with people and small sleep catches them. In that brief moment, they will receive a message from God based on what the person was telling them.

12. There are different types of dreamers. Some dream and the opposite of what they dream happens to them or others. Others dream and it happens exactly. Some only remember the dream after it happens physically to them.

13. Another set of mysterious people exist. These ones they dream inside their dream. They must first wake up in the second one before they wake up from the first one. (Inception movie style)

14. The mood you wake up from a dream is equally as important as the dream. You must note it down.

15. The devil can create a dream for you. Occult and witchcraft folks can also manipulate your dream.

16. dreams are the door ways of the spiritual world

17. if you take your dream life serious, God will do the same, so he can talk to you through it.

18. Your dream actually started when you were in the womb. babies dream

19. any major thing that happens to you MUST FIRST BE SHOWN TO YOU IN YOUR DREAM. that you dont remember or cant decode the mystery isn't God's fault

20. your normal day to day life pattern can influence your dream life slightly. people who work in mortuary, can actually see dead people. doesnt meant death is coming

21. ANY DREAM YOU HAD SINCE A CHILD, THAT YOU CAN STILL HAPPEN TO REMEMBER CLEARLY, ISNT A NORMAL DREAM. I STILL RECALL DREAM I HAD SINCE 3.

22. dreams are normally given in parables, or hidden messages. the more you can decode them, the more knowledgeable you will be in that regards
