Amen. 1 Corinthians 8:6 - yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we exist through Him. Ephesians - 5:20 always giving thanks for all things in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God, even the Father; Philippians - 3:8 More than that, I count all things to be loss in view of the surpassing value of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but rubbish so that I may gain Christ, 1 Timothy - 6:13 I charge you in the presence of God, who gives life to all things, and of Christ Jesus, who testified the good confession before Pontius Pilate, 2 Timothy - 2:10 For this reason I endure all things for the sake of those who are chosen, so that they also may obtain the salvation which is in Christ Jesus and with it eternal glory. All scripture from the NASB. A friend on Facebook posted the verse that says I can do all things through Christ... As soon as I saw it I said the word "through" must be "in" concerning that verse. So I looked it up. Behold... in, in the power of, by or through; with. A being or remaining within, with the primary idea of rest in any place or thing.

Not trying to crash a party here, but trying to discern what is really being shared here. What power / unlimited potential are you talking about? All power is in Christ, our Lord. We as christians learned that we are powerless without Him. All that is and will be done, shall be done only by His will, not our own desires. All for His Glory. I think I said the same thing you said... did I not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We believers have to take the next step and actvely avoid all the sins we possibly can avoid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

So Peter is Stephen? Why don't you go by Stephen, if that is your site? Are these collections from doctors like Nancy Appleton and Robert Keller, and which articles are yours? Regardless, Stephen's site is helpful to many. Stephen is doing what God equipped him to do and that is wonderful. Stephen is mine and many others on that site are from notes I had from many different books I read. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I should have been more clear. For example: God can speak things into existence. We can't, agreed? God can heal people at His will.

We do have the Holy Spirit living in us! We do have personal access to God. He is guiding us in the way we should go. And we have faith to do all things in Christ who strengthens us. Not anything we chose to do as we selfishly desire; but all that is in God's will. Our will is sometimes tainted with sinful desires, since sin dwells in the members of our flesh: our minds and bodies. Our spirit is cleansed, but still we have this duel nature, warring against each other. As I said, faith is given to Christians in portions. God has appointed certain tasks for us to do, some do great things but most of us live out our lives with not much more faith than to deal with our own lives and our family's. Some have faith enough to be pastors and more - whatever, His will be done in your life. We are going to need to access that power of God to make it through the beginning of sorrows and at least part of the Great Tribulation period. Evil is upon us and more evils are coming. Hold onto your faith, use your spiritual gifts to help others and pray. Put your armor on ... the Antichrist has gone out out to conquer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I should not have to say it's not 9, 7, or 4. I did not write anything about God speaking things into existence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's like the start of the prosperity teachings that developed to the point where it went right off the rail. In the kingdom of Satan you develop self and improve self and gain for self. In the kingdom of God it all revolves around God and service to God in the form of helps and uplifting of others. This statement of faith seems to be the development of self by claiming the promises of God for the empowerment of self. I don't see what you see. I'm posting about him. When I say we were called in him. I'm not thinking about "we" but rather "him" and I did not write the verse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But you still need to remember that it wasn't really you, but Christ in you. This is the production of fruit that Jesus is looking for. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because the reality is, is that we all have limitations, brother. There is only so much we can do on our own, the rest is reliance on GOD to help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
