In order for us as children of God to reach the spiritual age of twenty, we need to pass through the first three stages of the experience of life and enter into the fourth stage; there’s the need for the dealing with the flesh, the self, and the natural constitution. Only those who were twenty […]
Denying the Self by the Cross to Depend on the Lord and on the Body of Christ
July 5, 2019 by 1 Comment
The greatest enemy of the Body is the self, the soul declaring independence from God and from the Body; when we see a vision of the self and depend on the Lord and on the members of the Body, we have the Lord’s presence, are full of peace, and touch the reality of the Body. […]
