As believers in Christ, we have died to the law in which we were held so that we might be discharged from it; the law defines God as His portrait, exposes man, and subdues man, so that we may come to the Lord with His word and allow Him to do what He said in […]

Since our old man has been crucified and died, even being buried with Christ, we are discharged from its law and are married to Christ, our new Husband; we have two statuses – the old man (the old husband) and the new man (the proper wife married to Christ as the Husband). Amen! When God […]

June 18, 2025 by 15 Comments
Today we believers in Christ are a miniature garden of Eden, for God as the tree of life is in our spirit, Satan as the tree of knowledge is in our flesh, and our mind is in between; we need to choose to turn to our spirit and never try to improve our ugly flesh, […]
