    About this ebook

    This book will introduce you to a depth of life in Christ you may not have known existed. The book will challenge you to stop living for yourself and start living for Him who died and rose again for your sake. A remarkable life was made possible for us by Jesus' atonement. A life that goes far beyond what is possible for ordinary humanity. Christianity is a life lived in the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit. The subjects presented will make you aware of New Testament realities that many Christians are unaware of. By God's grace, Paul claimed, "I am what I am." He conducted his life in accordance with who he really was. We should all be equally confident in our new identity in Christ. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is miraculous in us, if we allow it to be.

      Diving Deeper into God's Word - Ross Thompson

      THE DANGERS OF THEORY CHRISTIANITY

      Ithink God took a risk in giving us such a comprehensive book as the Bible. He knew our propensity to be talkers and thinkers rather than doers, especially when the doing involves a risk to our reputations. Christianity as revealed in the Bible is a doing life. What am I on about? The final instructions Jesus gave to His disciples, and us, was mostly about doing.

      These twelve Jesus sent out with the following instructions: Do not go onto the road of the Gentiles or enter any town of the Samaritans. Go rather to the lost sheep of Israel. As you go, preach this message: ‘The kingdom of heaven is near. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give. (Mathew 10:6–8) The very last thing Jesus said to the disciples was, Teach all those who believe to do all that I have commanded you."

      In the film, ‘The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly’ the character played by Eli Wallach, is in a bath with soap suds up to his chin. A bad guy appears at the door and thinking Eli Wallach is at his mercy, begins to gloat over him and talk about his intention to kill him. Eli Wallach has a gun in each hand, hidden by the soapsuds. He shoots the bad guy and says, If you are going to shoot — shoot!! Don’t talk!! It is easy for Christians to be talkers. But God has said to us, Don’t talk, shoot!’

      Talking is part of the command of Matthew ten (above). Jesus says, tell them the Kingdom of God has come, then demonstrate it. It is about shooting. How many Sunday meetings these days, send the Christians home to look for opportunities to demonstrate the Kingdom of God the following week?

      We can tie ourselves up in emotional knots about getting over the hurdle of demonstrating the power of God. But really it is straightforward. You shall lay hands on the sick and they shall recover. Have you noticed talking is not mentioned there?

      No prayer, no use of Jesus name, no preaching, simply the physical act. Raising dead people is that simple. Put your hands on the dead body and tell it to return to life. When we do that, we have done our part, the rest is up to God.

      The Christian Indians in the jungles of Mexico, converted through the work of David Hogan and his family, usually allow about one hour in the raising of a dead person. Many hundreds have been raised from the dead among them. They are remarkably persistent in their faith in raising the dead.

      There is no reason we cannot do the same. Way back, I realized if I was going to be a real Christian, I must act wherever I saw the need. Be prepared to heal the sick wherever you find them. On the street, in the supermarket, the next-door neighbour, at motor accidents, sports events, in coffee shops, et al.

      Many people suffer from mental and emotional problems and are just as much candidates for laying on of hands as those with obvious physical problems. Be available to God to alert you to reach out to those people. Christianity that restricts itself to talk is a deception. We are called to demonstrate the truth of the Gospel.

      For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. (1Corinthians 4:20)

      TRUE OR FALSE -THE HOLY SPIRIT CONVICTS CHRISTIANS OF SIN?

      False is the correct answer. The only Bible reference to the Holy Spirit convicting of sin is John 16:8 (Jesus speaking) "And when he comes, he will convict the world of its sin, and of God’s righteousness, and of the coming judgment . In the next verse Jesus explains why the Holy Spirit convicts the world of sin. John 16:9 Of sin, because they believe not on me."

      Christians believe on Jesus. Obviously, the verse is not about Christians. Jesus says, He will convict the world. The New Testament makes a clear distinction between Christians and the world. Jesus made a clear distinction between us and the world. John 17:14 (Jesus praying) "I have given them Your word
