Brian Doerksen, Refiner's Fire

i gotten prayes during this song last sunday yes i did went tothe alter god will always be with you every step of the way

God chose Israel to be a special nation, but frequently commanded that they sanctify themselves e.g. Josh 3:5, 2 Chr 29:5 etc.
We are partners with God. There's the legal aspect God declares that makes it possible in the first place, then there's the practical outworking which we do with the help of the Holy Spirit. Like Paul wrote in Phil 3:16, we are to live up to what we have already attained. God will never bypass your human will.
With this song I agree to be set apart for Jesus.

If He hadn't bypassed my sinful will and saved me then I'd be dead.

plez post the chords he is playing, if u know.. God bless..

talk is cheap: peter said, "we left all ..."; jesus promised, "you'll get 100x of it, w/suffering, now and in the next ages. mother teresa got the suffering--a life long "dark night of the soul." where was her 100x? teachers of the law retort, jesus did not mean mammon, wives, children--the "fleshly desires" stuf. leave a career/income and see what your wife does. (what was the disciples divorce rate?) i sang this in the 80s w/tears streaming. now i'm in deep shit w/o the 100x.

Where in scripture does it say life will be easy?
When it pleased the Lord to convey His love towards me I was deep in sin and close to death. He is trustworthy and I am not.

You sound bitter. Come to Jesus and learn the Scriptures and the power of God. Our language show the condition of our hearts

What a spawn of Satan you are aTruster

....and if I am the child of God you have just committed the unforgivable sin, by attributing the work of the Holy Spirit to Satan.

I could not have chosen a better song or group tonight with which to worship the Lord while listening to this song. :) Pure gold. :)
