There it is: I have repeated what Athanasius said in the 4th century – “He was made man that we might be made God”. This is God’s desire and His intention – to make man the same as He is. God wants to be expressed in a collective way, through many human beings constituted as […]
in like manner the Spirit also joins in to help us, to intercede for us according to God
I was very touched by the verse in Rom. 8:26recently: Moreover, in like manner the Spirit also joins in to help us in our weakness, for we do not know for what we should pray as is fitting, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. We all have to […]
learning to intercede for the Lord’s need in oneness with Him in His heavenly ministry today
I love both this portion of the Word in Eph. 6:18-19 and the song that contains it: … Praying at every time in spirit and watching unto this in all perseverance and petition concerning all the saints, and for me, that utterance may be given to me in the opening of my mouth, to make […]

calling on the name of the Lord is our daily Christian practice, and it is so normal
Actually, the first believers / disciples were recognized by their calling on the name of the Lord Jesus – that’s how Paul, when he was Saul, would find them and then imprison them. This practice of calling on the name of the Lord is not something new or invented by someone, but it is a […]
