La reussite de l oeuvre de Dieu ne peut se substituer a une vie spirituelle puissante.Au Zenith souvent nous ‘tombons’ car negligeons la communion avec Dieu-

What really is death? According to its scientific definition death is “the cessation of communication with environment.” Death of the spirit is the cessation of its communication with God.

we simply mean the spirit has lost its sensitivity towards God and thus is dead to Him. The exact situation is that the spirit is incapacitated, unable to commune with God. To illustrate. A dumb person has a mouth and lungs but something is wrong with his vocal cords and he is powerless to speak. So far as human language is concerned his mouth may be considered dead. Similarly Adam’s spirit died because of his disobedience to God. He still had his spirit, yet it was dead to God for it had lost its spiritual instinct.

It is still so; sin has destroyed the spirit’s keen intuitive knowledge of God and rendered man spiritually dead. He may be religious, moral, learned, capable, strong and wise, but he is dead to God. He may even talk about God, reason about God and preach God, but he is still dead to Him. Man is not able to hear or to sense the voice of God’s Spirit. Consequently in the New Testament God often refers to those who are living in the flesh as dead.

The Spiritual Man – Chapter 3

The Fall of Man

———————————

God’s first argument with man is not that you are bad, it’s that you are dead
And that’s is not very flattering.
Leonard ravenhill

“We should serve in newness of spirit” (Rom. 7.6 Darby).

• An old spirit cannot inspire people: the best it can do is pass on some thought to others: even so, it is weak and therefore powerless to stimulate earnest consideration.
• An aged spirit can only produce aged thought. Never can dynamic life flow out from an old spirit. Whatever issues from a decrepit spirit (words, teaching, manner, thought, life) are but old, stale and traditional.

• Perhaps many doctrines do in fact reach another believers mind, but they gain no footing in his spirit; as a consequence, it is impossible to touch the spirits of others because there is no spirit behind one’s teaching. It is conceivable that the one who harbors an old spirit has once experienced some of the truths, but they have now become mere remembrances of the past, purely pleasant memories. Truths That have been transferred from the spirit to the mind. Or perhaps they have just been new ideas freshly conceived in his mind, and due to lack of confirmation in life they simply do not impart the touch of a fresh spirit to the audience.

• Time and again we meet various Christians who habitually convey something new from the Lord. While we are with them we feel they have just left the Lord’s presence, as though they would bring us right back to the Lord. This is what newness means; anything else is oldness. Such ones appear to enjoy renewed strength all the time, soaring like eagles and running like youths. Instead of imparting dried, corrupted, and worm-eaten manna of the mind to people, these give fish and bread freshly cooking on the fire of the spirit. Deep and wonderful thoughts never move people as a fresh spirit can.

• We must maintain a fresh spirit continually. How can we face people if our inner man does not give the impression of having been newly with the Lord and newly blessed of the Lord? Anything–life, thought, experience-which has reduced itself to a remembrance of the past is old and aged. Moment by moment we must receive everything anew from the Lord. To imitate the experiences of another without ourselves having it in life is forbidden; but to copy from the relics of our own past experience is likewise ineffective. Thus we can grasp the import of what Christ enunciated as recorded in John: … I live because of the Father” (6.57).
• Our inner man shall remain unceasingly fresh if we momentarily draw upon the life of the Father to be our life. A stale spirit generates no fruit in work, inspires no walk after the spirit and achieves no victory in warfare. An old spirit cannot face others because it has not faced God. To enjoy a spirit that is always fresh and new, one’s inner being must be in constant touch with God.

All these years of frustation , not only a new season has begun but also a wonderful break in between! Guess what? none of this is yet what God has promised me, its just something He threw in  !!!

Fundamentalism arose form a statement of conservative Christians issued at the Niagra Bible Conference in 1895
These leaders were concerned about the trends in the major denominations of North America that they felt were departures from biblical Christianity
The five fundamentals of the faith that gave fundamentalism its name are these

The inerrancy of Scripture
The deity and the virgin birth of Jesus Christ
The substitutionary atonement; Christ died for your sins
The bodily resurrection of Jesus
The personal return of Jesus

If a fundamentalist is someone who believes in these 5 things…..I am a fundamentalist

Tim Delina

God does not delight in our cowardice and withdrawal. He wants us, on the one hand, to tremble before Him because of our emptiness, yet on the other hand, to proceed courageously in His might.

We need to have a spirit of power, of love, and of self control.

It should be strong, but not to the point of becoming unloving. It is also mandatory that it be quiet and controlled so that it may not be excited easily.

We must have a spirit of power towards the enemy, a spirit of love towards men, and a spirit of self-control towards ourselves.

See one still can have a relationship as long as one party  is still working at it-God is always at it ! Always reaching out !God remains faithful even when we are unfaithful. But there is no fellowship, that is where the ‘knowing’ part is key – Fellowship is what makes you ‘KNOW’ someone! Just like you can be in marriage without being ‘intimate’. Let’s be aware of the difference ,working out our salvation with fear and trembling -lest we get deceived!

• It is a land the LORD your God cares for; the eyes of the LORD your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end.
• But be careful. Don’t let your heart be deceived so that you turn away from the LORD and serve and worship other gods.
• So commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine. Tie them to your hands and wear them on your forehead as reminders. ¹⁹ Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed and when you are getting up. ²⁰ Write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates,
• Be careful to obey all these commands I am giving you. Show love to the LORD your God by walking in his ways and holding tightly to him
