In Life on the Highest Plane Pt. 3, Ruth Paxson explains who new believers are a new order of people. Born from above. See Life on the Highest Plane Pt.2 in a previous post. When Jesus cried out, “It is finished” what did that mean? That which was lost to the control of Satan in the Garden of Eden was possible to regain through the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. From then on humans would be in two classes…
In Life on the Highest Plane Pt.1, we left humans in a sinful state cut off from their creator by a deep chasm. In Pt.2, we will find the solution for reconciliation in Jesus Christ as He bridged that chasm. Chasm Adam’s sin revealed his rebellious heart. He had sinned and destroyed the connection to God. It was God, because of His love for His created people, who came up with a solution to bridge the chasm between the two….
Life on the highest plane I have been reading Life on the Highest Plane by Ruth Paxson for a few months a few pages each day. It is so rich I thought I’d share it with you over the next few weeks. Ruth begins by describing three kinds of people—natural, spiritual, and carnal which based on Apostle Paul’s writings. Natural person What is the natural person like? The natural, unregenerate person cannot comprehend the mind of God, has no desire…
The God’s Love is difficult to comprehend God’s love is beyond our comprehension. It is complete and far-reaching. We tend to limit our understanding of God’s love by what we know of human love. Let’s pray that God would enable us to see His great love for us. We all have a deep need for the Father’s love. I’ve shared a video on youtube called “Father’s Love Letter” and pray it blesses you. Believe Him, it will change your life. Maybe…
Can dependency be a good thing? Can a tomato grow apart from the vine? Does it struggle to grow? Haven’t we been told that dependency is bad? We’ve all heard the encouraging words “You are strong.” Or, “You don’t need anyone else. You can do it.” Those who know they can’t do it feel like failures like they are lacking something and are somehow inferior to most people. Jesus set an example of dependency for the believers by…
Limiting God’s Power in our LIves Are we limiting God’s power with our excuses like, “I can’t do that? I’m not that kind of person.” Do we hide behind who we are, or how we see ourselves? Do we realize that we are limiting God’s power in our lives? Recently, I was asked to speak on a Sunday morning at my church. Me? Yes, me. My first thought was God was changing me so I could do this. Then, the…
One simple, but subtle danger in the Christian walk, is not seeing God in the ordinary. In our everyday, often mundane life it might not seem important to know God is very much involved in our life minute by minute. It is obvious that His presence is needed in a preaching, teaching, or singing ministry. But, His presence is just as essential in our daily life, whether we are changing a flat tire, washing dishes, doing our job, or simply…
Charles H. Gabriel – My Savior’s Love (I Stand Amazed) I hope you enjoy this version as you read the words. 1.I stand amazed in the presence Of Jesus the Nazarene, And wonder how He could love me, A sinner, condemned, unclean. Refrain: How marvelous! How wonderful! And my song shall ever be: How marvelous! How wonderful! Is my Savior’s love for me! 2.For me it was in the garden He prayed: “Not My will,…
Believer’s Priority One First things first. Seek God’s kingdom and His righteousness first. Why? Why not our concerns first? It is a law or principle of the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 6:33 Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. NKJV What He was saying was don’t let your life be your chief concern. Don’t let your child’s life be your chief concern. Don’t let tomorrow be your chief concern….
Truth or deception? How do we expose deception? Jesus explained how to find truth and what it would do for us in John 8:31-32 “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” We are constantly bombarded with lies and deceptions from the world of darkness. These may come through our own thoughts (which confuse us) or from other believers. What is troubling is when…
