Pastor Bertie, Praise God. Just heard your live audio on bearing fruit. I am so relieved and at peace after seeing that video as I am going through a failure right now.
Right now, I was finding a reason to bear fruit so that God would speak to me His perfect and acceptable will in my life.
Pastor, I am confused as to what should I do as of now. With so many options available I am not sure what is God desire for me.
I am praying on this since the past 12 days but have not got a clear picture yet although God has assured me of His plan for hope and peace and not of evil.
Pastor, few doubts that I am facing right now.
1) How to know His perfect will and purpose of my Life?? For eg How did you come to know that it was preaching the gospel that God called you for not being a businessman?
2) I have been taught to understand His will through the word but no one has told me how? Like, I open the bible and how do I know what God wants to do in my life if I open a passage of Leviticus regarding the law or a passage in Revelation regarding the revelation that John got at Patmos islands.
3) How does God speak? Through the word, dreams, visions, circumstances, people. All being true but how do i reaffirm it through the word??
I am thankful to God for you and your ministry pastor. They have been a blessing to me.
Do we have two requirements with grace? Love or faith or both? We must be believers Can we use the word faith and belief synonymously? I am trying to make sense of 1 Corinthians 13. Can we really separate love from faith? I love Him because he first loved me and have faith because of his demonstration of His love? Maybe its talking about losing our first love and still having faith from our time in the past with God? What are your thoughts? I sure hope I am expressing my questions clearly.
Hello I do not know if you will get this but your messages are transforming me. Thank you. I have been on this grace walk for some time and there has been much more opening up for me this season. I was wondering if you knew of any grace preachers who were teaching line by line expository teaching? I still struggle a little with some of the scriptures that I am so used to seeing. I am studying obedience in the bible. Am I understanding correctly obedience is what Jesus has done and what we believe so therefore we are always obedient in Christ? Thanks so much! I appreciate any insight.
Hello Pastor, I want to say it is a joy to listen the Word of God, I have been truly blessed!
I have a friend who believe fornication and adulatory is different under Grace! Even though our walk is not under the law but by faith, I do not agree with his logic.
Hi Bertie, thanks for the Word of grace. You explained sin as human inability to preserve his life forever, kindly also explain how that definition links up with the other definitions of sin the bible; eg
Rom 14:23- whatsoever is not of faith is sin,
1 John 3:4- sin is the transgression of the law. We also see sin as a noun and as a verb, kindly clarify that-
I love your teachings and have been following you for sometime. They have brought me a great amount of freedom. I just wanted to know what your take is on the issue of soul ties. I know that there is something incorrect about the way the principle has been taught in main stream Christianity.
