BINGO!!! commonly, "Conviction of SIN" is the "drawing force" - AND the Source of FAITH (God's WORD TO YOU). However the FINAL DECISION to Repent and Call on God for salvation is yours. YOU CAN refuse, and the Conviction will fade (guess how I know that).
Before I guess. What kind of touching feeling fades away.?
We must be careful
how we hear
who we say we hear. We have the promise of His unseen approval of those lovingly moved to study rightly dividing the living written word. His Spirit bearing witness teaching us of the invisible things of God things of His Faithfulness
Christ is the Alfa and Omega . Christ does all the works a labor of His love
"Let there
be" and "
it was
God alone
good".(the law of faith)
I would think We are not saved by touchy feeling of dying flesh . Repentance is a work of God that he works in us, turning us towards him.
God has no reason to repent or wait in line waiting for dying mankind to make the first move .. .
New creation.... not rebuilt. reincarnated ,or restored . What we will be is not revealed to the flesh believers. they have a living hope beyond the grave in glory . In that way no man an see the glory of God and live while living in here bodies of dearth
He gives the believer ears (his understanding) and power to move according to His good pleasure. (Philippians 2:13)
He promises us in (Philippians 1:6) if he has begun the good teaching work in dying mankind he will not give up being Christ the one good teaching master yoked with us till the end.
Many like myself are slower learners .Like Peter ,
Christ the Holy anointing
Spirit of the
Father. He is our very confidence.
Why as it seems throw
it away in exchange of a
touchy feeling.. . . work of the
flesh? What's the hope?
Get hooked on Christ. Not hooked on a feeling. . (guess how I know) .Experience is not the validator of the unseen eternal thing of God . God's written word alone is
Christ's work of
His faith as a
labor of
his love moved those who had fallen from grace like those foolish touchy feeling in Galatians taking credit for the work of the Spirit. They were not walking by the power of unseen eternal things of God .
Galatians 3King James Version3 O
foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you, that ye should
not obey the truth, before whose eyes Jesus Christ hath been evidently set forth, crucified among you? This only would I learn of you, Received ye the
Spirit by the works of the law,(death) or by the
hearing of
faith? Are ye so foolish? having begun in the
Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the
flesh?
Revelation 2:1-6 King James Version Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried
them which say they are
apostles, and
are not, and hast found
them liars: And hast borne, and hast patience, and
for my name's sake (the power that works in a new creation hast laboured, and hast not fainted. Nevertheless I have somewhat against thee, because thou hast left thy
first love. Belive a God not sen revaled as it is written Remember therefore from whence thou art fallen, and repent, and do the first works; or else I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy candlestick out of his place, except thou repent.But this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitanes, which I also hate. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.
The First love of God. His first work working us to
both giving us ears hear to His understanding and empower to move toward that Love the invisible head. Christ . . .revealed as
it is written.
Some of the Nicolaitans were having the commandment as oral traditons as human faith (dead) . They served the dying flesh in a succession men of like that of the Pope The kind of deeds the lord also hated. Human form in the place of eternal God .Who is not a man
He repented them they returned to thier first love. . The one witness that God has spoke (sola scriptura) and not the High priest called a Pope or a daysman .
The abomination of desolation. Dying flesh in blood (Nicole or Pope) in the place of the invisible witness Christ, our husband Yoked with him our daily sufferings can ne lighter.
