flesh and are really backsliding.
In the backslidden state you also become powerless
and open to attack by satan as long as we walk
in the
flesh he can influence us to get worse not better.If we are walking
in Christ satan may still try to tempt us but we are empowered by the holy
spirit and overcome him

Rich with the sap of the world, I rise up towards the
Spirit whose vesture is the magnificence of the material universe but who smiles at me from far beyond all victories;
and, lost
in the mystery of the
flesh of God, I can not tell which is the more radiant bliss: to have found the Word
and so be able to achieve the mastery of matter, or to have mastered matter
and so be able to attain
and submit to the light of God.
Because, my God, though I lack the soul - zeal
and the sublime integrity of your saints, I yet have received from you an overwhelming sympathy for all that stirs within the dark mass of matter; because I know myself to be irremediably less a child of heaven than a son of earth; therefore I will this morning climb up
in spirit to the high places, bearing with me the hopes
and the miseries of my mother;

in the world of human
flesh is now about to be born or to die beneath the rising sun I will call down the Fire.

Steven thanks for your testimony I agree with your view that homosexuality is not an orientation we are not born that way but its a choice.We can choose to live by what our
flesh dictates or we can live by what God reveals through his word
and by his holy
spirit.If we are serious about following God we chose to follow him so it does nt matter whether gay or straight our choice is to follow God with all our heart.I have never been gay but have battled
and was overcome by my fleshly desires not until i turned from them
and asked the holy
spirit to help me have i been changed for that i will always be grateful to the Lord.So
in that sense we are no different our testimonys are important
and are powerful.Thank you for your witness
and may the Lord continue to use you as his vessel to touch lives
and hearts for him.brentnz

Personally i think those specific prayers are a distraction most of the times we pray these prayers because its what we think we need
and often thats not the case.The better way is to just trust the holy
spirit let him lead i think we miss the awesomeness of doing it Gods way its easy not difficult.The struggle is difficult when we are walking by the
flesh and trying to do it our way.When i got to the point where i said to the God i am not going to do it my way anymore
and i submit to you because know whats best for me.Change me
and when i feel the wrong desires or temptation to walk by the
flesh i just say Lord you know i am weak
and i can not live a christian life without you help me.As soon as i do that it is effortless theres no struggle thats how we should grow.I am excited with what God is doing
in my life he has opened his word i am seeing the fruit of his life impacting mine
and i am changing day by day.I am walking by faith
and not slipping back into my old desires i know what it means to be an overcomer sin does not have dominion over me anymore.
In myself i can not boast because it is the power of God at work
in my life
and i give all the praise back to God.brentnz

and totally become incarnate
in Christ, we must note that neither the Incarnation nor the Crucifixion can here be understood as isolated

and eschatological process of redemption, a process embodying a progressive movement of
Spirit into

The death of God
in Christ is an inevitable consequence of the movement of God into the world, of
Spirit into

and given expressions, by moving ever more fully into the depths of the profane.

I thought straight away this is a joke as scriptures tell us only the father knows the time of his sons return
and hes keeping it to himself he hasnt even told his son yet.Mark 13:32 This a mystery isnt God all knowing
and isnt Jesus God it is a mystery.Yet I like that that is the case because it proves that the father is not the son
and the son is not the father they are separate yet they are one just like the holy
spirit.I have come across denominations that believe the father son
and holy
spirit are the one person i asked them how they can say that when Jesus was baptized we see 3 separate persons.We have enough information to know that we are
in the last days the signs are present
and increasing.Ever since Israel became a nation the countdown has begun.The verse the enemy will come like a thief
in the night i have heard preached many times
and i believe the preachers have got it wrong because they preach it from the view for the church to get there act together or you will miss out.This view is incorrect because if you are a born again believer following him
in obedience
and relying on the holy
spirit you are not walking
in darkness but are walking
in the light so you will not be caught unaware as those who are sleeping this is a warning for those who are sleeping or walking according to the
flesh they are
in darkness.Remember the 10 wise virgins the ones who were alert
and keep refilling there lamps went
in with the bride those who slept were left behind
and so it will be when the Lord returns.Now is the time to prepare our hearts
and lives to be ready for his return.It is an exciting time to be living
and we are to live
in the expectation that the Lord could return at any time brentnz
look beyond
flesh and fight

Our glory
and shame is that we are entangled
in the oppositions of
