The Finished

On February 18, 2014

Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

James 1:21 KJV

James, writing to Spirit-filled, born-again believers, told them that yes, that they needed to be saved. That’s right, they needed salvation in their souls.

When we are born-again, made new by the Holy Ghost, we are born-again in our spirits, not our souls. The Holy Spirit, God Himself, comes into our inner most being, further inside than our soul, and makes us new–we are ‘born again’. But, that does not make our souls or our bodies born-again in the least.

Keep On Asking

By Benjamin

In Thoughts

And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

Matthew 21:22

Sometimes, all we can do is ask. Sometimes, all we can do is keep on asking. Sometimes.

Asking can seem like such a small thing. Yet, it is what He asked us to do. There is something about a submissive spirit, and trusting and yielding spirit, that is required to ask someone in authority over you for something you need. They could tell you no. They could condemn or ridicule you for your lack of ability in yourself. They could ignore you like you just don’t matter. They wound you in so many ways, because the place of asking is the place of opening up your vulnerability.
