Summary

know or past experiences, or are we responding by the Holy Spirit within us?

circumstances we are confronted with in our daily lives – ourselves or Christ?

When Satan went to Eve and asked her about the apple, “hath God said,” he got an opinion out of Eve. And that right there is the thing that we cannot have. It has to be a word from God. Our human nature has to be so gone from our soul and our flesh, as God inhabits us, that when a question comes our response, a response is mute. Because it's by His appearing, the answer comes.
Ron
Not responding to doctrine, not responding to your conditioning's. If Christ was sitting there, and the Pharisees bring up this lady, and they say she's been caught in adultery. Christ was a rabbi; He knew the word. He knew what the Torah said about that. Did he respond by what He knew? Or did He respond by the Holy Spirit? By what the Father spoke to Him at that moment, at that time, at that specific situation?
Ron
Because He knew what they were looking for. They're trying to trap Him because they know He's a rabbi. They know that He knows what they know about what's in the Torah. So they're expecting some sort of response that they can trap Him in. But instead, He comes back with the wisdom of God. He comes back by the Spirit of God. They couldn't trap Him in that.
Dale
He used that opportunity to create a principle of the Kingdom. He created the Kingdom by His response to what that situation was. He didn't condemn those guys; He gave them the opportunity. When He said, “the first among you without sin, cast the first stone,” that was an opportunity for them to change. And that's what He came to do. He came to bring change, not condemnation. They all knew what was expected of Him. They were trying to trap Him In the law, and they couldn't do it, because what He did is He became Matthew 5:17, He became the fulfillment of the law by taking it into a Kingdom Principle, or how the Kingdom functions. He opened the door for forgiveness, He opened the door for turning away a repentance. That parable is so all about what He was sent to do. And that was to bring forth not only salvation but open the door. He was king. It was His kingdom. His response was to bring the kingdom.
Ron
And talking about that scenario, what comes to mind is what Solomon did about the child that was brought to him. You know the story. The two women bring the child, you know, they're fighting who's the child whose child is it? Because all right, bring me a sword. And he's going to cut the child in two. Again, it's the same principle it's, it's the wisdom of God that comes through.
Dale
Did it also reveal the love? What is true love? You giving yourself up? Here's this child that says, the focus of this woman's life and she loves her more than life itself, was willing to give it up, that it might live. What was her motivation? That's Christ.

Thank you for all your kind words! Well there is a story behind the web site. We were looking to find someone to design our site and found a company out of England. After they saw and heard some of our podcast, they said that they felt we were helping to bring forth the kingdom of God with what we were putting out and so they designed the web site for free! what a great blessing it was to us. They also are hosting the site on thier servers for free. God moves in amazing ways!
