Capacity For Life

Your Purpose

As a believer is related completely and totally to Bible

doctrine. It is more essential for you to make doctrine

resident in your soul than to accomplish anything else

in  life. Your  capacity  for life, your  happiness and 

blessing, the glorification of God and the nobility of the

Christian life are linked to Bible doctrine. all service and

function in the Christian life is a matter of guidance based

on doctrine.

All the Bible commands will be fulfilled according to your

spiritual gift when doctrine is resident in your soul.

" For with God nothing shall be impossible."

Luke 1:37

Lord, help us to speak to others in a way that will

help them see you.

A Status

Reversionism

The negative status of the believer in Phase Two:

recession

 from any stage of spiritual growth, including the

partial or completed Edification Complex of the

soul or super-grace. Analogous to apostasy.

"The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a

broken heart; and saveth such as be of a

contrite spirit."

Psalm 34:18

Father, thank you for your presence.

Neglect

Holding Ground in Prosperity or Adversity

What happened to the Hebrew believers who had been

advancing so well? When God  began to send blessing

 their way and they became prosperous and successful,

they fail to pass  the prosperity test (Deut. 8:11-14). The

greatest danger in prosperity is to lose track of the Source

and to assume YOU had something to do with your pro--

motion or success. When you lose the grace perspective,

you neglect Bible doctrine. Neglect and rejection of doc-

trine go hand in hand and lead to reversionism. This  was

the case with the believers in Jerusalem. What was the 

result of their reversionism?

He that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder

of them that diligently seek him.

Hebrews 11:6

Dear Lord, I bow before you in stillness and feel you very near.

Here are my problems. Help me to find your way for me.

Genetically Formed

Old Sin Nature

The source of human sin, good and evil. Genetically

formed, it originated as a direct result of Adam's first

sin, and resides in the cell structure of human body 

(Rom. 6:6; 7:15,18). While both male and female are

carries, the sin nature is transmitted only through the

twenty-three chromosomes in the male sperm that 

fertilizes the female ovum (Gen. 5:3 ). At the physical

birth of every individual, Adam's original sin is imputed

to the old sin nature (Rom.5:12), resulting in both spirit-

ual death and the sovereignty of the sin nature over human

life (Rom. 6:12).

"Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted."

Matthew 5:4

Thank you, God, for the many times you have come to our rescue.

Help us to trust you when dark times come.

Beginning The Advance

Taking The High Ground

Hebrews 10:32-39

 But call to remembrance the former days, in which, after

ye were illuminated, ye endured a great fight of afflictions

(Heb. 10:32).

What are the mechanics of remembering again and again?

The function of memory resides in the soul. The soul area 

contains self-consciousness

 (awareness of your own existence) 

volition, emotion, conscience (norms and standards),and

mentality, which is divided into two lobes. The right lobe

is the dominant lobe of the soul, designated in the Greek

by the word Kardia (translated "heart" in your English

Bible). "Heart" is never used in a physical sense; it always

refers to the thinking part of the mentality. The left or 

perceptive lobe, where all information first enters, is called

the Nous (translated "mind" ) and acts as a staging area for

knowledge.

Super-Grace

Surpassing Grace

(Phase Three)

Embodies the special blessings and rewards that belong

to the super-grace believer in eternity. If you have claimed

your super-grace paragraph of blessing in time, God has even

more superabundant blessings for you in eternity, called

"surpassing grace riches" ( literally) in Ephesians 2:7. Above

and beyond the normal blessings of heaven, such as those

described in Revelation 21:4, these are reserved for those

believers who seize and hold the high ground of the super--

grace life in time.

"Thou wilt show me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness

of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for ever more."

O God of love and forgiveness, so fill my heart with the spirit

of Jesus that I will be quick to return love for evil.

The Golden Bridge

(4) Dying Grace

Constitutes the transfer of the super-grace believer into

heaven under conditions of special blessing, whereby 

dying becomes even greater than living. Dying grace is

the golden bridge between the super-grace blessings

of time and the surpassing grace blessing of eternity

(2 Tim. 4:7,8; Heb.11:13)

"For thou, Lord art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous 

in mercy unto all them that call upon him."

God, thank you for loving me for myself and dying that I

might live. Teach me to feel that kind of love for others

as well as myself.

The High Ground

(3) Super--Grace

The greater grace of Jas. 4:6 is the high ground of the tactical

victory of the angelic conflict and the objective of the Christian

life. This is the place of maximum utilization of grace in either

adversity or prosperity and the area of reaping what God sows.

Basic for the normal function of the royal priesthood the super-

grace status is the initial stage in spiritual maturity.

keep your commandments.
