People while communicating to each other daily uses a lot of terminology, and idioms, these terminology and idioms are easy to be understand since it all related to the people of that place and time. However, when I stranger to that custom and country read or hear those Idioms, it can greatly mess up his or her understanding, and bring about bad interpretation to what was original meant. Our English Bible are loaded down with Idioms, and these Idioms are eastern in nature, and that is why people are having problems understanding the Bible. If you and I crack the idioms code every thing is easy from that point unward.

Our Bible uses a lot of , and idioms that are eastern and western people have difficulties understand these idioms. This causes a lot of mis understanding and bad doctrines among Christians world wide. You will never understand the New Testament until you have some concept of Idioms, proverbs, parables, signs, symbols and tipe.

Matthew 5:39 (KJV) But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.

Luke 6:29 (KJV) And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloke forbid not to take thy coat also.

You can forget it. I heard one preacher was teaching his people telling that to turn the other cheek. They were terrible agains self difence. Just sit there," God will deliver you." Just open your legs sisters let them rape you. I ask him, if somebody came into his to rape his wife and children what would he do? He say he would have help his family" Failing to see that Our lord is using an Idioms here. This verse make the slave masters and hate groups people happy, killing these people is much more easy than taking a candy from a baby. St luke 6:29 And St matt 5:39 Mean to do every thing in you power to avoid hostility between you annd your neighbour, even to the point of taking the wrong, if that will solve the problems. Our lord is not saying that you must let people beat you to death. Trying fleeing first. Fight must be a lost resort.

1 Cor. 6:7 (KJV) Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?

Matthew 10:23 (KJV) But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.

IDIOMS OF THE BIBLE:

The idioms that are uses in the Bible are numbers in their thousands. “Be fill with the spirit” Satan filled thine heart” These people has a hart of stone” “Turn the other cheek”“ Cut off thy right hand” “If thy right eye offend thee pluck it out” “Be led by the spirit” Move by the spirit” Walk in the spirt” “Walking in the flesh” “ The flesh”

If you ask some Christians. What do you thing the bible is talking about when it say” The Flesh” Some will tell you that “Flesh is a woman’s vagina” Flesh has to do with sex”

But in actuality “Flesh is an Idiom. Us to speak of one former life style. The way you were living before you were converted to Christianity. Walking in the “Flesh” Mean that the person has backslided from the faith and has now living the way he she was living before they were converted to Christianity. Walking in the spirit mean that the person is walking according the written word of God. Or is living accordingly to the scriptures.

THERE ARE ALSO IDIOMS USES TO SPEAK OF PEOPLE:

“ He is an horse head” he is a donkey man” He is a real adding machine.

WHEN THE BIBLE TOLD US TO BE FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT WHAT DO YOU UNDERSTAND FROM THIS IDIOMS?:

The Holy Spirit is real spirit person, the third member of the trinity. People cannot live inside another people, only when we are fetus we can live inside our other’s womb.

The Holy Spirit is call the finger of God, The spirit of God And the power of God.

Exodus 8:19-AV Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This [is] the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.

Matthew 12:28-AV But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.

Luke 11:20-AV But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

In Exodus: 8. 19 . St matt 12:28 and St Luke 11:20 is talking about the same person the Holy Spirit. Two verse call him the finger of God, another verse call him a spirit. Does this mean that when a person is filled with the Holy Spirit is one of God’s finger is inside them? Does this mean that there is a finger inside the heart of each Christians?

THE HOLY SPIRIT FILLET THE WORLD:

Psalms 139:7-AV Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? Psalms 139:8-AV If I ascend up into heaven, thou [art] there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou [art there]. Psalms 139:9-AV [If] I take the wings of the morning, [and] dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea; Psalms 139:10-AV Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

Acts 17:28-AV For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

THE HOLY SPIRIT WAS GIVEN TO THE BODY OF CHRIST ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST:

Here again the body of Christ is use here as a terminology. a terminologies is an expression. Because Christi is in heaven with his body. So what body are we talking about?

Acts 2:1-AV And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place. Acts 2:2-AV And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. Acts 2:3-AV And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.

FILLED IS A TERMINOLOGY OR IDIOMS:

Acts 2:4-AV And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Fill with the holy spirit is a TERMINOLOGY or Idioms which mean. To fall under the influence of. To Control by. To be ruled by, Led by, overcame by, and influence by. We see where the apostle Paul uses wine as the comparison. When a person is inflamed by alcohol, the person natural behaviour is now change, to something new. It Is the same thing with a Person being Control or surrender to the Holy Spirit.

The person natural behaviour is now change, to that of a new person. People who are drunken with wine, did it on purpose, they continue drinking and take one drink too many.

There is only one Holy Spirit in the Universe, how could million of Christians each have their own Holy Ghost living in them in a physical sense? Because this is the way they make it sound.

When you cut a person who is drunken with wine, you would not see whine running out of them. Because that is not what filled with wine mean. Fill with wine is an idioms. You will never see rum or bear running out of a person who is drunken and get a cut. Because drunken mean to be inflame by or Control by the stuff. The same thing with being fill with the spirit. Filled with the Spirit does not mean that the Holy Spirit God himself come down to earth and is living in you and me in a PHYSICAL SENSE. Then you and I could not sin, there would be no need for the Holy Spirit to give teachers and pastors to the church, you and I would not need to pray. Because the Holy Spirit himself is living on board. An idiom is being use here. The Holy Spirit fill the body of Christ here on earth, and all who is brought into the body by the holy spirit must surrender to him on purpose. Willingly. You do not have to ball out jump and pup. You only need to surrender.

Proverbs 3:28 (KJV) Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, and to morrow I will give; when thou hast it by thee.

You have the person check, hand it over, do not sent them home and ask them to come back tomorrow. Do not hide her letter. Pay your tithes, give your offerings. There is an inner voice speaking to your hearts obey it.

THE HOLY SPIRIT LITERALLY FILLED THE BODY OF CHRIST:

What is the body of Christ? Like I said before, the word" Body of Christi is a terminology, Christ real body is in heaven sitting down at the right hand of God making intercessions for us. What we meant by body of Christ, we are talking about the body of Christ the church here among us today.

Colossians 1:24-AV Who now rejoice in my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:

Ephesians 5:30-AV For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.

Ephesians 5:23-AV For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

It is important to know that the Word" Church" Here is not talking about a building, but it is talking about every born again believers in Christ. The holy spirit filled the body of Christ here on earth and when a believer is converted to Christ, the Holy Spirit baptize such an one into the body of Christ. The sinners is now justified, sanctified, even though there is another extended work call sanctification. Call practical and progressive. The person is now in Christ, and Christ in him, he is now in God and God in him. He is now in the spirit and the spirit is in him. This is call the regeneration.

"Shall be In you" Since our lord was not talking to one people at the time he saith this phrase, Shall be I you is therefore in its plural form. "But ye know him" "ye" also signals plurality" The holy spirit indwell the church the body of Christ. Each believers do not have their own Holy Spirit living in them physically as they make it sound.

John 14:17 (KJV) Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

"Church is sometime uses in the plural, which mean many different gathering of believers.

Dake's Summary of John

John 14:17 a[Spirit of truth] The Spirit of the truth. b[world] Greek: kosmos , social world; the unsaved cannot receive Him. Therefore, all men do not have the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:9,14-16; Galatians 4:6; 1 Cor. 3:16-17). c[because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him] The reason why unsaved men do not partake of the Holy Spirit. They refuse to "see" or understand Him (1 Cor. 2:14) or become acquainted with Him by receiving the gospel and permitting His work in their lives (John 1:12; John 3:5,16-20,36; John 5:24; John 16:7-15). d[ye know him] You disciples know Him or have experienced Him, for He dwells in you in a measure and He shall come into your lives in all fullness when you are baptized in the Spirit (in about 50 days; John 7:37-39; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8). e[with] Greek: para (, beside, alongside of, proving that the Spirit was with the disciples. He was even "in" them (Matthew 10:1-8,20; cp. Mark 6:7-13; Luke 9:1-10; Luke 10:1-20). If He was in them and yet shall be in them it could only refer to receiving the Spirit in greater, baptismal measure as Christ had (John 3:34). Christ came to give all disciples this fullness of the Spirit (Matthew 3:11; John 1:31-33; John 7:37-39; Luke 11:13; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; Acts 2:16-21,33,38-39; Acts 5:32; Galatians 3:14). The doctrine of interpenetration does not mean physical entrance into, but union with, so the idea is that there is a measure and a fullness, a partial union with and a complete union with the Spirit. See note, §John 3:34 and note, §Luke 22:3.

Galatians 1:22-AV And was unknown by face unto the churches of Judaea which were in Christ: Galatians 1:23-AV But they had heard only, That he which persecuted us in times past now preacheth the faith which once he destroyed.

THE MIGHTY OUTPOURING WE CALL SPIRIT BAPTISM:

This is what happed at Pentecost, this is for service. This happen whenever the lord is setting somebody aside and equipping them with spiritual gifts for services. This will also happen several times in the same person life. It is not just a one time experience. The day of Pentecost is the first it happen with other tongues. But it is not the first the Spirit of God is coming upon men and empowering them for service. We will talk about this later.

OTHER TONGUES MEAN OTHER LANGUAGES:

Acts 2:5-AV And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven. Acts 2:6-AV Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them speak in his own language.

THE DISCIPLES ONLY SPEAK GALILEANS:

Acts 2:7-AV And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold, are not all these which speak GALILEANS?

THE KNOWN TONGUES THAT THE DISCIPLES SPEAK ON THE DAY OF PENTECOST:

Acts 2:8-AV And how hear we every man in our own tongue, wherein we were born? Acts 2:9-AV Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judaea, and Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Acts 2:10-AV Phrygia, and Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about Cyrene, and strangers of Rome, Jews and proselytes, Acts 2:11-AV Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

WHY GOD GAVE MEN THE GIFT TO SPEAK IN ANOTHER PEOPLE LANGUAGES:

Genesis 11:5-AV And the LORD came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of men builded. Genesis 11:6-AV And the LORD said, Behold, the people [is] one, and they have all one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. Genesis 11:7-AV Go to, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech. Genesis 11:8-AV So the LORD scattered them abroad from thence upon the face of all the earth: and they left off to build the city.

SPEAKING TO PEOPLE IN OTHER TONGUES WAS PROPHECY:

Isaiah 28:9-AV Whom shall he teach knowledge? and whom shall he make to understand doctrine? [them that are] weaned from the milk, [and] drawn from the breasts. Isaiah 28:10-AV For precept [must be] upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, [and] there a little:

Isaiah 28:11-AV For with stammering lips and another tongue will he speak to this people. Isaiah 28:12-AV To whom he said, This [is] the rest [wherewith] ye may cause the weary to rest; and this [is] the refreshing: yet they would not hear.

Joel 2:28-AV And it shall come to pass afterward, [that] I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: Joel 2:29-AV And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

THIS WAS THAT:

Acts 2:14-AV But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all [ye] that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:

Acts 2:15-AV For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is [but] the third hour of the day. Acts 2:16-AV But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel; Acts 2:17-AV And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: Acts 2:18-AV And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:

WHAT ARE THE PURPOSE OF KNOWN TONGUES?

Since the whole world speak different languages, because of what God did in Gen 11.5-8. And God is sending people to speak to these people who never learn that languages, God have to gave the languages to his his servants miraculously. There is not time to teach people new languages, so God gave the languages miraculously to his servants before he sent them.

THE EVIDENCE OF BEING FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT IS POWER AND NOT JUST TONGUES, DEMONS POSES PEOPLE ALSO SPEAK TONGUES:

Acts 1:8 (KJV) But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.

We know that tongues was the immediate evidence, but we should not ignored the concrete evidence in the long run.

KNOWN TONGUES IS A MINISTRY: OR MINISTERING GIFT:

Mark 16:15-AV And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. Mark 16:16-AV He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. Mark 16:17-AV And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; Mark 16:18-AV They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Mark 16:19-AV So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. Mark 16:20-AV And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with [them], and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

THIS IS MINISTERING GIFTS:

The body of Christ have these gift, but every single believer do not have all the gift. I might have three, you might have four and so on.

1Corinthians 12:7-AV But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. 1Corinthians 12:8-AV For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; 1Corinthians 12:9-AV To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; 1Corinthians 12:10-AV To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another [divers] kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: 1Corinthians 12:11-AV But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. 1Corinthians 12:12-AV For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ. All do not have the same gift.

THIS IS OFFICE OF SERVICE:

1Corinthians 12:27-AV Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular. 1Corinthians 12:28-AV And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues. 1Corinthians 12:29-AV [Are] all apostles? [are] all prophets? [are] all teachers? [are] all workers of miracles? 1Corinthians 12:30-AV Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret? all do not have the same office.

WHAT ARE THE PURPOSE OF UNKNOWN TONGUES?

The scriptures speak about "Known Tongues" or "Tongues" Then is also speak about unknown tongues. unknown tongues is a believer prayer language. Coded message to God, which even the speaker do not understand. All believers can and should speak in unknown tongues.

1Corinthians 14:39-AV Wherefore, brethren, covet to prophesy, and forbid not to speak with tongues.

1Corinthians 14:2-AV For he that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue speaketh not unto men, but unto God: for no man understandeth [him]; howbeit in the spirit he speaketh mysteries.

Romans 8:26-AV Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit Himself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

THE SPEAKER BUILD HIMSELF UP:

1Corinthians 14:4-AV He that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue edifieth himself; but he that prophesieth edifieth the church.

1Corinthians 14:13-AV Wherefore let him that speaketh in an [unknown] tongue pray that he may interpret.

1Corinthians 14:14-AV For if I pray in an [unknown] tongue, my spirit prayeth, but my understanding is unfruitful.

1Corinthians 14:19-AV Yet in the church I had rather speak five words with my understanding, that [by my voice] I might teach others also, than ten thousand words in an [unknown] tongue.

1Corinthians 14:28-AV But if there be no interpreter, let him keep silence in the church; and let him speak to himself, and to God.

THE SPIRIT BAPTISM IS FOR SERVICE:

Judges 14:6 (KJV) And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and he rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand: but he told not his father or his mother what he had done.

Judges 15:14 (KJV) And when he came unto Lehi, the Philistines shouted against him: and the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and the cords that were upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with fire, and his bands loosed from off his hands.

»Dake Charts »Front Matter »Summary of Judges Judges 14:6 a [upon him] See note a, § Judges 3:10. b [rent him as he would have rent a kid, and he had nothing in his hand] Twelve Exploits of Samson 1. He ripped a lion apart bare-handed (Judges 14:6). 2. He killed 30 men (Judges 14:19). 3. He caught 300 foxes (Judges 15:4-5). 4. He slaughtered Philistines (Judges 15:8). 5. He broke two new ropes that bound him (Judges 15:14). 6. He killed 1,000 armed men with the jawbone of an ass (Judges 15:15-17). 7. He brought water out of the jawbone (Judges 15:16-20). 8.

He broke seven green cords of braided wood that bound him (Judges 16:6-9). 10. He broke new ropes that bound him (Judges 16:10-12). 11. He broke the pin that bound his seven locks of hair to the wall and carried the pin and web with him (Judges 16:13-15). 12. He killed 3,000 men and women by pulling down the great pillars that held up the house (Judges 16:23-31). c [he told not his father or his mother what he had done] He could keep secrets from his parents but not from a woman (Judges 14:16-17; Judges 16:16-21). Twice he kept secrets from them, and twice he told a woman.

Judges 3:10 a [Spirit of the LORD came upon him] This explains how God raised up deliverers for Israel. The Holy Spirit would come upon them, inspire them, and endue them with power to accomplish God's purpose. Fifteen Examples of the Spirit Being "Upon" One 1. Moses (Numbers 11:17,25) 2. The seventy elders of Israel (Numbers 11:25-26) 3. Balaam (Numbers 24:2) 4. Othniel (Judges 3:10) 5. Gideon (Judges 6:34) 6. Jephthah (Judges 11:29) 7. Samson (Judges 14:6,19; Judges 15:14) 8.

HOW DOES A PERSON BECOME A CHRISTIANS?

How does a person become a Christian, and are sure that he/she is save? First the person must know that he/she is a sinner and need deliverance from the lord.

Romans 3:23 (KJV) for all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

Galatians 3:22 (KJV) But the scripture hath concluded all under sin, that the promise by faith of Jesus Christ might be given to them that believe.

THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT THERE IS A GOD.

Hebrews 11:6 NKJV But without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT GOD IS READY TO FORGIVE HIM.

Isaiah 55:7 (KJV)Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

THE SINNER MUST BELIEVE THAT CHRIST DIED FOR HIM.

Romans 5:6 (KJV) For when we were yet without strength, in due time Christ died for the ungodly.

Romans 5:8 (KJV)But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

1 Cor. 15:3-8 (KJV) For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; [4] And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: [5] And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: [6] After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. [7] After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. [8] And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

The sinner must believe that God can keep him save.

Ephes. 3:20 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,

Jude 1:24 (KJV) Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,

PERFECTING THE SAINTS IS A WORK OF GOD.

1 Peter 5:10 (KJV) But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, establish, strengthen, settle you.

THE SINNER MUST KNOW THAT ONLY JESUS CAN SAVE THEM.

Acts 4:12 (KJV) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

THE SINNER MUST MAKE A DECISION TODAY.

Isaiah 1:18 (KJV) Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.

2 Cor. 6:2 (KJV) (For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)

BOW YOUR HEAD AND PRAY THIS PRAYER.

Lord I am a sinner and need your salvation. Forgive all my sins. I accept your son Jesus as my savior today.

DROP ALL PRE-CONCEIVE IDEAS OF CHRISTIANITY.

Drop all preconceived ideas of Christianity because these conflict with the reality of Christianity. The lord will live the life through you day by day. You do not drop things from your life on your own. The spirit of God will walk you out of sins in his own time.

FIRST HUMBLING YOU.

Ephes. 2:8-9 (KJV)For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: [9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.

If you stop sins and get holy before God’s timing you will begin to boast how it is your own magnetism got you so far, then you became a source of discouragement to others. Therefore, you are going to stuck upon a sin or two. The sin always getting the better of you. This will push you to always accept God’s grace, and to see your own frailness.

1 John 1:8 (KJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

TO CONTINUE GROWING IN GOD.

1 Peter 2:2 (KJV) As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby:

2 Peter 1:5-10 (NKJV) But also for this very reason, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue, to virtue knowledge, 6 to knowledge self-control, to self-control perseverance, to perseverance godliness, 7 to godliness brotherly kindness, and to brotherly kindness love. 8 For if these things are yours and abound, you will be neither barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9 For he who lacks these things is shortsighted, even to blindness, and has forgotten that he was cleansed from his old sins. 10 Therefore, brethren, be even more diligent to make your call and election sure, for if you do these things you will never stumble.

All a baby need to do to grow is to feed. You will have to learn to feed yourself. Many pastors cannot feed the sheep. Continue visiting our website for free materials. Feel free to email us for additional resources.

FINDING OUT YOUR CALLING

When I was newly save, the believers always, ask me if I know the will of God for my life! I never really know what they were talking about. Every person that was saved had a mission and a gift. However, because you are just a babe in Christ you do not know any of these. As you go on with the lord his will for you will unfolds day bay day. Do not run off and make any big commitment. Your mate has to be tailor made for you by God. You are now a citizen of heaven. Heaven does not rule by democracy. You cannot serve God with democratic mind set.

WHAT YOU MUST DROP OFF.

Hebrews 12:1 (Living Bible) Since we have such a huge crowd of men of faith watching us from the grandstands, let us strip off anything that slows us down or holds us back, and especially those sins that wrap themselves so tightly around our feet and trip us up; and let us run with patience the particular race that God has set before us.

Ephes. 4:31 (Living Bible) Stop being mean, bad-tempered, and angry. Quarreling, harsh words, and dislike of others should have no place in your lives.

Col. 3:8 (Living Bible) but now is the time to cast off and throw away all these rotten garments of anger, hatred, cursing, and dirty language.

GET A GOOD BIBLE, FIND A GOOD CHURCH.

One of the best Bibles out there is the New King James Version. Dake’s annotated Bible is very good. Next, you need a living bible to make some thing simple.

Hebrews 10:25 (Living Bible) Let us not neglect our church meetings, as some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day of his coming back again is drawing near.

DROP THE BAD HABITS.

Drop the smoking, even though we cannot prove it to be a sin. You are going to be sitting down beside other church going people; they do not want to be smelling the odor from smoking on you.

PROTECTING YOURSELF FROM BEING SPOILED BY MAN.

Col. 2:8 (KJV)Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.

Hebrews 13:9 (KJV) Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace; not with meats, which have not profited them that have been occupied therein.

Seven Ways that People Can Spoil Christians:

1. Through philosophy (Col. 2:8)

2. Through vain deceit (Col. 2:4,8,18-19)

3. Through human traditions (Col. 2:8)

4. Through human religion and world principles contrary to the gospel (Col. 2:8,14-23; note, §Galatians 4:3)

5. Through circumcision (Col. 2:11-13; Acts 15:1; Romans 4:9-16; Galatians 5:1-11)

6. Through the law of Moses, demanding observance of the laws on meats, drinks, holy days, new moons, feasts, and sabbaths (Col. 2:14-17)

7. Through cults that puff up and imitate the gospel (Col. 2:18-23)

By all these means, unsuspecting souls are being carried off as plunder and booty by false teachers. The founders of false religions and human philosophies which pamper the flesh and give their victims elated feelings of importance make an appeal to them.

Christianity is loaded down with some false concept. Some little believe system, which are spread by false believers. One of such teaching is that you must “Look like Christians” How does Christians look? Genuine Christianity is not an external thing but of the heart and spirit.

Micah 6:8 (KJV)He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the Lord require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

When cults capture a newly converted Christians, the cult first job on that new believer is to close their mind. Preventing the new believer from reading any material from other churches. So that new believer will never get out of their trap.

YOUR HORMONE DOES NOT STOP WORKING WITH CHRISTIANITY.

Philip. 3:20-21 (KJV)For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: [21] Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

Romans 8:23 (KJV) And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

Our bodies were not save at conversion. The work of redemption took place in your spirit man. Our body will be redeemed at the return of our lord. We are still waiting for the redemption of our body. According to Philip 3:20-21 and Romans 8:23. You are still going to have urges. You have to present your body to the lord as a living sacrifice. Not dead one. Living sacrifice give trouble, you will have trouble keeping that body tied to the altar. However, as you and I grow in the lord what seem impossible will be quite possible.
