Ladi's Musings

  I am one of those Social Media users that just scroll and scroll other people's contents, and rarely like, share or comment. And on many of such internet journeys, I have come across this portion of scripture being used as a tool to whip Christians who have not yet overcome their temptations and are prone to sin, into proper (supposedly) godly shape. Heb 10: 26 - 29 Heb 10:26  For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,  Heb 10:27  But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries.  Heb 10:28  He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses:  Heb 10:29  Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spi...

  Isa_42:22  But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore. None saith Restore! None Saith Restore!! None saith RESTORE!!! Yes, I and I have messed up, and we have gone up to the throne of grace to receive mercy.

I and I (bear with me have been listening to some goodly root rock reggae of recent) also know that Jesus isn't counting scores as humans do, ... I forgave you once, twice and now am done says the typical human. Jesus says come and keep coming until you don't need to come anymore because you have overcome. The headline verse shows people robbed, spoiled, snared, imprisoned and preyed upon wheth...

  No disclaimers today. Imagine that the book of Genesis in the bible started this way. In the beginning God created the Heavens and the earth, and the earth was without form, and void and darkness was upon the face of the deep. AND GOD WAS DISCOURAGED AND GAVE UP.  We won't be here today. So God created the Heavens and the earth. And the initial result was this: the earth was without form, void and dark . In other words, the earth looked like an unsuccessful project. But God did not give up, instead it is recorded in Genesis 1 verse 2 that His Spirit moved upon the face of the waters.  That Move of His Spirit was the defining moment. And since we were created in His image and in His Likeness, our spirit can also MOVE. Personally, I used to have the inclination that my born again spirit is different from the Spirit of God, This is however not accurate! My regenerated spirit is the same with the Spirit of God. This is the miracle of the New Birth. Joh 3:1  There was a...
