The experience of our father Abraham is very much related to our experience, and the things he learned in his experience with God are the things we should learn as well. In the book of Galatians we see how the Galatian believers received the gospel through the apostle Paul and his co-workers, believed into Christ, […]
Being under God’s Covenant of Grace, we should Enjoy God by Exercising our Spirit
The Spirit of Jesus Christ who “was not yet” in John 7:39 is Our Bountiful Supply Today!
We praise the Lord for the truth in the Bible and for the recovery of the proper interpretation of the truth concerning the Spirit as the consummation of the Triune God. God became a man, lived a perfect human life on earth, died on the cross, and entered into resurrection to become “the Spirit” which […]
Take up the Shield of Faith: Exercise your Spirit of Faith and Have Faith in God!
Besides girding our loins with truth, taking Christ as our righteousness to cover our conscience, and standing in peace as our firm foundation, we need to take up the shield of faith, with which we are able to quench all the flaming darts of the evil one (see Eph. 6:16).

The reigning in life the Bible talks about has nothing to do with […]

In the Old Testament most of what God did in relation to His people was outwardly and even supernaturally, and the people of Israel knew they had God’s presence with them as He was protecting them, guiding them, speaking to them, and doing all kinds of things for them. But today in the New Testament […]
We need to Have a Steadfast Spirit, a Willing Spirit, and a Repenting Spirit
After receiving the Lord Jesus into our heart as our Lord and Savior at the time of our regeneration, we believers became different. We are no longer merely men, we are God-men, Christ-men, and Spirit-men. Now we have the Triune God living in us, in our spirit, and in everything we learn to turn to […]
