"Gospel Echoes"

by Ray and Doris Prinzing (1)

1) Developed Disciples- added 12/29/2000 - We introduce this work by the Prinzings with the beginning paragraph on spiritual maturity. Ray/Doris state, "To grow up into spiritual maturity, a realm of perfection in Christ, is not a self attainment, but that which is wrought in us by the grace of God, the in working of His Spirit. There is, however, that constant need for us to give diligence to make our calling and election sure, by yielding to Him as He works in us, and walking in obedience as He supplies the grace and strength for our daily living out His will. For additional "truths" reference, The Whispers of the New Covenant, "A New Covenant Spirit," written by R/D Prinzing.

2)The Silence of God - added 12/30/2000 -  "ALL HIS ACTIONS ARE MOTIVATED BY HIS LOVE, and when suddenly He becomes "silent," ceases to impart a quickening to His Word for a time, and you go along almost in a vacuum, HE is still presently working in your life of His own divine purpose, lovingly, tenderly, patiently, until He has wrought that which He knew was needed in your spiritual development.

3)   SONSHIP - WHY? - added 01/03/2001 - Through the years the holy Spirit has revealed many precious truths to the out-called concerning their growth and development unto spiritual maturity. The various terms and phrases used, all denote the rich aspects of this calling. To some it has been revealed as "THE PATH OF THE OVERCOMER," while to others it is "RECEIVING HIS FULLNESS," or yet again, "GOING ON TO PERFECTION." There have been revelations on His Headship, His Kingship, His Central Supremacy in our lives, but for a generalized term the teachings have centered in what is called "SONSHIP."

4)  HEART ABLE TO DISCERN  - added 01/16/01 -  The Psalmist declared, (77:6), "I commune with mine own heart; and my spirit made diligent search." This was more than a sensing after the flesh, to see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. It is more than just an emotional reaction, or the studious reasoning out of the intellect. It was an inner, spirit working, making a diligent search. We are learning what this means, to go beyond the sense realm, and the soul realm - to probe in our spirit for answers that only HE who dwells within us by His Spirit can give to our spirit, until we know. We find a passage of scripture, Genesis 8:6-12, quite illustrative of this.
