Chris.

God's process in all of our lives is different. This is why we sometimes cannot understand something about each other. God's process always will bring a good and meaningful result in our lives. Christian community living is not God's Way for all people - it is the way for those whom God calls to it, community life can dampen the fire of God's process in a person's personal life, especially if they are not in the Will of God. Let us respond to God and to His Word, then we can experience His process in our lives, as the Bible says, from Glory to Glory.

Chris.

The Holy Spirit is vitally important for us as True Believers. If we have received Christ, then we need to know about God the Holy Spirit. Our bodies are made by God to be houses for the Holy Spirit to indwell. The moment that we receive Christ as our personal Saviour and Lord, the Holy Spirit comes to dwell in us. We should read and digest all the New Testament teachings about the Holy Spirit. We do not just associate the Holy Spirit with “gifts”; that is immaturity in the extreme, and our Christian growth will be very limited.

Chris.

There is a deep moving in the heart of many True Believers in these days to come back to God. People are forsaking their wrong relationships, whether they are: Immoral, Political in Church, Gossip-based, Dependency, or Rebellious. People are coming to God and hungering and thirsting for God. The two major thrusts of this deep moving in the heart are for pure worship and simple prayer.
