Proof: John MacArthur is wrong

As I was beginning to write the penultimate chapter in my new book this week, I felt rather out of my depth. I know that cessationism is not the ‘slight’ that it is often treated as being by those who don’t find solid biblical teaching in charismatic circles, (hence their arriving at the doors of the cessationists out of a sense of necessity), and I desperately wanted to get it right.

Having been reading the first half of Romans 8 in the same moment, I prayed silently in my heart and asked the Spirit of Christ (8:9) to help me, not just merely ‘to be right’ but rather to get this important communication to the beloved bride of Christ right.

Please watch this video, below, and take note of what happened by way of 1 Corinthians 12:8.

Worried about salvation?

Some Christians struggle with a settled sense of assurance more than others, though we all struggle with this in some ways. It is the fruit of a genuinely redeemed person to be in awe not in presumption. I trust that this brief video overview of J. C. Ryle’s superb chapter on the subject will bring you a seep sense of comfort and point you to the unchanging Word of God.

Dream/Interpretation: The Door

Last night the Holy Spirit spoke to me in a dream. I’m sharing the dream publicly because it relates directly to the video below and the lives of tens of thousands of people. I have sought to simply convey the specifics of what I saw and understood in the dream rather than trying in any way to embellish or dramatise its content, nor to dismiss details that to my mind may have seemed incidental. Please can I discourage speculation but rather plead for wholehearted turning from those involved and, for us all, the heeding of the principle of “clearing” being more urgent now than ever before, (1 Peter 4:17).
