THE CALLED & ANOINTED:
AS PROFESSED CHRISTIANS, THE HOLY SPIRIT MUST BE OUR GUIDE IN EVERY STEP TAKEN.
EVERY RIGHT STEP IN A RIGHT DIRECTION AND EVERY RIGHT DECISION MADE ARE TO THE GLORY OF GOD.
TO HAVE SELF CONTROL IS AN OVER-STATEMENT.
HENCE NO ONE CREATE HIMSELF AND THE WORLD WAS NOT CREATED BY MAN. THAT IS TO SAY, YOU AND THE WOLRD THAT YOU ARE LIVING IN ARE GOD'S HANDI-WORK.
THEREFORE, GIVING THE CREDIT TO ONESELF FOR GOOD MANNERS, OR GODLY BEHAVIORS BY THE REASON OF SELF CONTROL IS AMOUNT TO DENYING GOD HIS RIGHTFUL CREDIT AND GLORY.
ROMANS, 8:-14 "FOR AS MANY AS ARE LED BY THE SPIRIT OF GOD, THESE ARE SONS OF GOD."
BEING LED BY THE SPIRIT, ONE HAS TO GIVE THE GLORY TO THE SPIRIT OF GOD IN HIM: AND TO TO ONESELF.
THERE ARE TWO FORCES

    The Importance Of The Doctrine And Covenants

    The Doctrine and Covenants is a book of divine revelations, given to members of the Church of Jesus Christ, to help further the establishment of Christ’s Kingdom and contains an invitation to follow the Lord Jesus Christ. As one engulfs oneself into the Doctrine and Covenants, one will find out that, just as the Book of Mormon is the keystone of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, the Doctrine and Covenants is a companion to the Book of Mormon and is the capstone of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. The Doctrine and Covenants gives new insight to gospel topics and one can further partake of the bread of life as one drinketh from the pages of the Doctrine and Covenants to come closer to Christ.…

    Julian Chapter 1-2 Summary

    Chapter four says that everything that exists, is because God created it. Everything that is made then, owes its life to God. From this revelation, Julian, a medieval Christian, draws three truths: God made the world, God loves the world, and He sustains the world. When talking about the creation, do not start at the beginning of the earth. God created something out of nothing, so God did not create anything out of himself, meaning nothing inside the world is as high as He is.…

    Napoleon Bonaparte: European Armies And The Conduct Of War

    Napoleon Bonaparte is broadly viewed as one of the best military commandants ever. At the stature of his energy, he had "extended the victories of France from her progressive fringes to that of a realm that extended from Spain to the steppes of Russia. "In his book The Napoleonic Wars, noted student of history Gunther Rothenberg states that Napoleon "made the best armed force of now is the right time, changing the craft of war itself. " While doubtlessly the French armed force under Napoleon was the prevalent power in Europe for quite a while, credit for its creation and the courses in which it was utilized can not be ascribed to only him.…

    Analysis Of Spirit And Union By Clark H. Pinnock

    The question of what God’s goal is in his son’s death and resurrection stands at the forefront of Clark H. Pinnock’s chapter on Spirit and Union. Pinnock eloquently reveals the clear aim of God’s work in the world through his Spirit. He goes so far as to state, “Union with God is not peripheral to salvation but the goal” (Pinnock151). In other words, God is actively at work in the world to reestablish humanities’ “oneness” with God that has been destroyed by sin. In addition, Pinnock speaks to Christianity’s current acceptance of the great theologian Martin Luther’s guilt and focused solely on a legal arrangement accomplished by Christ.…

    Practicing Christian Doctrine Chapter 7 Analysis

    Chapter six of Practicing Christian Doctrine, by Beth Felker Jones, chiefly discusses Christology and the various heresies that have surrounded it over the years. Christology, which is the study of Christ, helps one to learn more about Jesus and his identity and how to live a good Christian life by forming a relationship with the Lord. In order for Christology to work, the person of Jesus must be known and a major idea discussed in this novel is homoousios, Jesus is full and truly God. Two other important characteristics of God found in this chapter are immutability¬¬ and impassibility. Immutability means that God is unchanging and impassibility states that He is never overwhelmed by emotion.…

    Case Study On The Holy Spirit

    During class, we had the discussion over the beliefs Christians have about the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity who takes everything God has for us and brings it to us. In the Bible, we find that there are five truths about God which are known as there is one God, the Father is God, Jesus is God, the Holy Spirit is God, and the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct persons (UCF Class Discussion, 11/10/16). The Holy Spirit frees us from sin, along with helping us understand what God brings to us. In class, we studied two different case studies, where the questions of who the Holy Spirit is and how does it work.…

    Undervalue The Value Of Human Creation

    We create because we were first created". This simple thought, first became known to me in Dr. Milliner 's Art Survey class. I had somehow never considered the inherent beauty in the blessing of being able to create. This concept, that allowed me to greater appreciate visual art, applies similarly to human creation in all of its forms. Initially it is perplexing to think that abstract concepts such as love, or worship can be so aptly represented in the creations of finite human beings, but the works of artists prove that not only is it possible, but beautiful.…

    Reference: 1 John 4:2 (KJV) 2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: Note: Run do not walk from all others! Because we need to realize that “one spirit’s hell is another spirit’s heaven” i.e. “one spirit’s heaven is another spirit’s hell” – and that there are many evil spirits (that are of the antichrist) who are repulsed by the TRUTH of a Loving Creator (spirits who can never again return to the Divine Field because they are so corrupt and virtually soulless) who are more than capable and willing to deceive, and lure, and keep your soul trapped in the hell of their making – which is as far away as possible from the Loving Father of ALL Creation!…
