This is possible only if / when we are under the ruling of the divine life! This morning I really enjoyed the fact that the peak in Romans is Reigning in Life – and this means to be under the ruling of the divine life! When we set our mind on our spirit(Rom. 8:6), our […]
transferred out of the authority of darkness into the kingdom of the Son of His love
Many wonderful things happened to us when we believed in the Lord: we called on the name of the Lord, we received the divine life, our sins were washed away, we were redeemed, we were reconciled to God, we were regenerated/re-born, we had a new fresh start in our life, we were justified, we became […]
God set forth Christ as a propitiation place, here we meet with God in peace
This week we’re enjoying Christ as the propitiation place – one of the many truths in the Bible that has not been yet fully discovered & enjoyed by the Lord’s people.

There it is: I have repeated what Athanasius said in the 4th century – “He was made man that we might be made God”. This is God’s desire and His intention – to make man the same as He is. God wants to be expressed in a collective way, through many human beings constituted as […]
in like manner the Spirit also joins in to help us, to intercede for us according to God
I was very touched by the verse in Rom. 8:26recently: Moreover, in like manner the Spirit also joins in to help us in our weakness, for we do not know for what we should pray as is fitting, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. We all have to […]
