Sinful Nature

 Do Christians have a Sinful Nature? Ever heard the one about how you have two natures wrestling inside you and the one that dominates is the one you feed the most? It’s not true. Christian, you do not have a sinful nature. One with the Lord, you have a new heart and a new mind with new desires (1 Cor. 2:16). As a new creation, you get to share in the divine nature of Christ (2 Pet. 1:4). You don’t have a sinful nature, but the devil would love for you to think that you do.He will tell you that you are wicked and inclined to sin. The devil wants you resisting yourself because then you won’t resist him. “Die to yourself daily.” Heard that one? It’s one of the devil’s best lines. So many churchgoers are trying to die daily because they don’t what happened to them at the cross: Knowing this, that our old self was crucified with him… (Romans 6:6) Your old self is gone. The person you used to be died with Christ (Col. 2:20). The moment you came to the Lord you were baptized by the Spiri...

Spiritual warfare

Spiritual warfare The different between deliverance and spiritual warfare: The difference between deliverance and spiritual warfare is that deliverance is dealing with demonic bondages, and getting a person set free, whereas spiritual warfare is resisting, overcoming and defeating the enemy's lies (in the form of deception, temptations and accusations) that he sends our way. Deliverance involves the breaking up of legal grounds, the tearing down of strongholds , and the casting out of demons. Spiritual warfare on the other hand, is dealing with three key things the enemy sends at us: temptations, deception and accusations. Offensive vs. defensive warfare Spiritual warfare comes in two ways: offensive and defensive. Offensive warfare is tearing down the strongholds the enemy has formed in your mind through deception and accusations, and defensive warfare is guarding yourself against the tactics or schemes of the devil. The enemy's three primary weapons There are...

Gospel of Grace!

Gospel of Grace! Introduction: There is relations between grace and faith . Grace--given everything; faith--taking everything. If nothing is given, we can't take anything . {E.g..God has given everything through heavenly relam or spiritual world, we should take it through our Faith, it's working like a bridge to connect spiritual world and physical world} This teaching is related to faith. We need deep revelation about grace of God. Many doesn't know about grace, they always problem with receiving because they thought their works only giving everything, they confused with grace with deeds and finally they concluded everything we will receive according to our works-good works! If we approach God according to our good works, there is no room for faith! At the same time Grace and worthiness can't dwell each..E.g.. Ismael and Isaac (Gal 4) Paul was a good writer, he starts with problem of sin, fall of man and how he became sinner, finally he concluded...

Can a believer be demon-possessed?

Can a believer be demon-possessed? On the face of the following plain and positive promises of God, it is inconceivable how a child of God can be demon-possessed— "There is no sorcery against Jacob, nor is there any divination against Israel" (Num 23:23). "I give you authority over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you" (Lk 10:18,19). "My sheep hear My voice... My Father, who has given them to Me, is greater than all; and no one is able to snatch them out of My Father's hand" (Jn 10:27-29). "He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world" (1 Jn 4:4). A believer may be afflicted or even controlled by demons in certain areas of his being, but he can never be owned as an unbeliever can be. We may be deceived, oppressed and obsessed but never possessed (Mt 24:24; 1 Pet 5:8,9). Demons may influence our thoughts, emotions and actions when we fail to follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. Peter was once th...

Biblical view of Perfection!

-
Image
Biblical view of Perfection Perfection is understood in the New Testament as growth and maturity. Apostle Paul speaks of personal perfection as well as corporate perfection as an ongoing process. "Not that I have already attained, or am already perfected; but I press on" (Phil 3:12-15). "Till we all come... to a perfect man, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ... may grow up in all things" (Eph 4:13-15). The New Testament speaks about the "standing" as well as the "state" of God's children. Our standing is our position in Christ; our state refers to our practice. Here are a few examples: By standing "all" believers are saints before God (Rom 1:7; 1 Cor 1:2; Eph 1:1; etc). At the same time, we are called to be holy and walk holy (1 Pet 1:15,16). According to our standing, we are already complete in Christ (Col 2:10; but we are to "be made complete" in our state (2 Cor 13:9). Our life in Christ can b...

Can I know I am saved?

Can I know I am saved? Yes, salvation is both a present reality and a future prospect. Apostle John writes, "We KNOW that we have passed from death to life" and "We KNOW that we are of God" (1 Jn 3:14; 5:19). When you receive Christ and believe on Him you are given the right to become a child of God (Jn 1:12). You are saved (Acts 16:31). Your sins are forgiven and you are washed by the blood of Jesus (Rev 1:5). This assurance is yours by the Holy Spirit. He bears witness with your spirit that you are a child of God (Rom 8:16). For this purpose He primarily employs the written Word of God (Jn 20:31). There will be certain positive indications when a person is saved. The guilt is gone and there is the joy of Salvation. A new love for God and His Word is born. Prayer becomes a delight. A desire to live holy is manifest. The very outlook on life is changed. Fellowship with the children of God is pleasant. A burden for the salvation of others is usually felt. These...

What Bible says about Deliverance ministry?

What Bible says about Deliverance ministry? If you are a soulwinning Christian you are already doing deliverance ministry, because salvation from sin is the greatest deliverance Jesus came to bring for mankind (Mt 1:21). It is erroneously thought that only those who are involved in the ministry of praying for the sick and casting out demons are in the deliverance ministry. This is only a part of the wholistic deliverance the Bible speaks about. A Biblical ministry of deliverance includes atleast seven aspects— a) Deliverance from the bondage of the Law Even though Christ has delivered us from the bondage of the Old Testament Law, numerous Christians do not enjoy the liberty in Christ Jesus (Rom 8:2,3; Gal 5:18). They live under the yoke of legalism which says, "Touch not, Taste not, Handle not!" (Col 2:20-22; Gal 5:1). This is due to a lack of understanding of the difference between Law and Grace (Jn 1:17). They never bubble with the joy of salvation. A spirit of gloomin...
