October 06, 2023 05:55 - 26 minutes - 60.6 MBPROOFS OF ETERNAL SALVATION (PART II) Perfect World versus Fallen World Let’s see another proof of the security of salvation. Lucifer himself and the first Adam fell away into sin in a perfect world and from a position of perfect holiness. Even more so, in a world full of evil, temptations, and of all the appetites and bad habits working against you as a believer, the probability of you falling from salvation is a million to one unless God keeps you and maintains your salvation in...

September 27, 2023 07:24 - 24 minutes - 56.1 MBPROOFS OF ETERNAL SALVATION (PART I) Introduction Am I still saved? Was I ever saved in the first place? Have you ever had these kinds of questions come to your mind as a born-again believer? I know I had them eating away at me many times, although I thought I was a genuine believer in Christ, born again, baptized in water, and saved. Why? Because I was still sinning as a Christian and sometimes repeatedly in the same area. When that happened, I was feeling ashamed and sorry, and I...

They have authority over and influenc...
How to Hear God's Voice (Individual Messages)
October 25, 2021 02:29 - 44 minutes - 83.3 MBIntroduction Today, I would like to talk about a very exciting topic and of much interest among Christians and that is, how to hear God’s voice. In spite of an abundance of Christian materials and sermons available today, many believers still struggle to hear God’s voice and have a genuine desire to know how God speaks to His people in the New Testament. In our discussion today, I will try to provide answers to 5 questions: „Why Do We Need to Hear God? Does God speak today to all b...

August 20, 2021 05:52 - 31 minutes - 59 MBThe Power of the Lord’s Supper Introduction Let’s first read the famous passage on the Lord’s Supper from 1 Corinthians 11:17-34: 1 Corinthians 11:17–34 (NKJV) 17 Now in giving these instructions I don’t praise you, since you come together not for the better but for the worse. 18 For first of all, when you come together as a church, I hear that there are divisions among you, and in part I believe it. 19 For there must also be factions among you, that those who are approv...
Session 16 - What to Do When We Sinned (The Glory of Righteousness)
August 10, 2021 20:57 - 21 minutes - 40.1 MBObjections to One-Time Confession Some might say, “But what about what Isaiah said in chapter 59 verse 2 that our sins put a separation wall between us and God, that they hide His face from us and that He will not hear us? Doesn’t that mean that we come out of fellowship with God and that we need to confess our sins to Him in order for Him to hear us again?” No, it doesn’t. Isaiah lived before the cross, Jesus had not paid for his sins yet, and Isaiah was not a new creation in Chri...

August 02, 2021 03:31 - 30 minutes - 56.9 MBConfession of Sins in 1 John 1:9 1 John 1:5–2:1 (NKJV) 5 This is the message which we have heard from Him and declare to you, that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all. 6 If we say that we have fellowship with Him, and walk in darkness, we lie and don’t practice the truth. 7 But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we decei...

Many people struggle to understand this passage because its context clearly shows that Christians still sin: 1 John 1:8 (NKJV) 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 1 John 1:10 (NKJV) 10 If we say that we haven’t sinned, we make Him a liar, and...

Question: In what way was Jesus Christ made sin on the cross? Was He made sin only legally OR was He made sin vitally in His nature as well, meaning in His spirit? Then, in what way were believers made righteousness? We have already seen and proved ea...
Session 10 - What Is Sin? (The Glory of Righteousness)
March 22, 2021 08:47 - 21 minutes - 38.9 MBWhat Is Sin? Now that we defined righteousness, we are in a better position to define sin, by comparison with righteousness, in a more holistic way. We said earlier that righteousness is the nature of God that defines His character and His ways of doing all things. 2 Peter 1:2-4 says that those who are in Christ have also become partakers of God’s divine nature and righteousness: 2 Peter 1:2–4 (NKJV) 2 Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus ...

March 03, 2021 07:27 - 21 minutes - 40.1 MBWhat Is Righteousness? We’ve been talking so much about righteousness and about the fact that our new spirit has become the righteousness of God in Christ. But what is righteousness really? You may or may not have asked yourself that question before. Righteousness is that nature of God that defines His character and His ways of doing all things. It’s the character of God to always be right and perfect in everything. It’s about who He is. How He thinks is always right. What He says ...
Session 8 - The Mirror Principle (The Glory of Righteousness)
February 18, 2021 23:44 - 22 minutes - 51.7 MBThe Mirror Principle Let’s read James 1:21-25: James 1:21–25 (NKJV) 21 Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted Word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the Word and not a doer, he is like a man observing his natural face in a mirror; 24 for he observes himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind ...
Session 7 - The Mind Renewal Process (The Glory of Righteousness)
February 11, 2021 05:02 - 29 minutes - 68.1 MBThe Mind Renewal Process In Romans 12:1-2, it says: Romans 12:1–2 (NKJV) 1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. 2 And don’t be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

January 21, 2021 21:16 - 25 minutes - 58.1 MBCleansing the Conscience of Sins Who Are You in the Spirit? The diagram of three rings in a row like a chain also illustrates the lack of a direct link between the spirit and the body. That’s why everything that comes out from your spirit into your body must go through your mental-emotional part. With the pipes diagram below, one side of the pipe represents your spirit and the other your body. Your soul acts as a valve in between the two. When you open the valve, what’s in yo...

January 20, 2021 04:10 - 26 minutes - 61.9 MBCleansing the Conscience of Sins As I mentioned briefly earlier, the conscience can be cleansed or it can remain clean by not violating it in the first place. However, when you sin and violate it, the conscience can be cleansed of the guilt of that sin by remembering, meditating, believing, and even speaking out loud four things: (1) you were made righteous in your spirit’s nature forever at the moment of your salvation; (2) you are free of condemnation forever even when you st...
Session 4 - The Consciousness of Sins and of Dead Works (The Glory of Righteousness)
January 03, 2021 20:32 - 16 minutes - 37.8 MBThe Consciousness of Sins and of Dead Works Now that we have come to the Lord and we were born again, God doesn’t want us to have an evil conscience anymore, but a good and perfect conscience. He doesn’t want us to be conscience-ruled. He wants us to purge and cleanse ourselves from an evil conscience. There is a better way to relate to the Lord. Now, let’s see how our conscience in conjunction with our behavior can generate two types of consciousness that are both detrimental...

December 30, 2020 08:57 - 17 minutes - 32.3 MBThe Conscience and the Law of Moses Here we arrive to a major point that can change your relationship with God in a significant way if you understand this concept properly. The reason why God gave the Law was to bring your conscience back to a proper place, to the way that God intended it to function; back to the standard of God. The Law was an attempt to ”reset” and recalibrate the conscience. This was the purpose of the Law, namely The Ten Commandments. However, religion has miss...

Romans 1:18–20 (NKJV) 18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19 because what may be known of God is manifest in them (not to them), for God has shown it to them. 20 For since the creation o...
Session 1 - The Origin of Conscience (The Glory of Righteousness)
November 18, 2020 03:57 - 22 minutes - 41.8 MBIntroduction Do believers in Christ need to confess their sins? If yes, how should it be done and what is the importance of it? If they don’t need to confess their sins, why not? Can genuine born-again believers ever lose their salvation?
