Topic:

Experiential Christianity

Experiential Christianity is the results of living the spiritual life, life inside the
Predesigned Plan of God or
The Christ Way of Living (CWLiving)

Principle: God’s ‘commands’ do not conflict.

Psalm 91:6 Of the pestilence [corona virus, black plague]
that stalks in darkness,
Or of the destruction that lays waste at noon [earthquake, volcano, tsunami].

Psalm 91:1 He [Believers] who dwells [via F/R Drill, doctrinal rationales] in the shelter of the Most High
Will abide [ref John 15] in the shadow of the Almighty
[el shaddai - the Omnipotence of God].

Baby Boomers - 1946 to 1964

Socialism, anti-Rule of Law

Psalm 91:2 I will say about the Lord, [F/R rationale]
"[You are] My refuge and
my fortress,
My God, in whom I trust!"
[F/R Drill documentation and personal application]

Interpretive paraphrase –
God will give those who know Him and His word, who love Him and who call on Him; so many proofs of His care and security that He bestows on them, that they will be super impressed how wonderfully God can deliver in all needs of body and soul, just be cognizant and trust it, it will happen.

Psalm 33:10 [Promise] The Lord nullifies the counsel [thwarts the plans] of the nations [globalism, anti-Nationalism, UN, EU];
He frustrates [to bring to nothing] the plans [intensions, purposes] of the peoples.
[those who are attacking the client nation & DE people]

Psalm 37:3 [CMD] Trust [F/R] in the Lord, and [CMD] do good;
[CMD] Dwell in the land and
[CMD] cultivate faithfulness.

Psalm 37:4 [CMD] Delight yourself in the Lord
[a relationship with Him];
[Promise] And He will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:5 [CMD] Commit your way to the Lord,
[CMD] Trust also in Him, and [Promise] He will do it.

Psalm 37:6 And He [TLJC] will bring forth your [experiential ] righteousness as the light,
And your judgment as the noonday.
Psalm 37:7 ¶ [Promise] [CMD] Rest in the Lord [RMA & tranquility] and [CMD] wait patiently for Him [timing of God];
[CMD] Do not fret [do not be concerned] because of him who prospers in his [wicked] way,
Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes.

Proverbs 11:21 [Promise – guarantee] Assuredly [no question], the evil man will not go unpunished,
But the descendants of the [experientially] righteous will be delivered
[blessing by association].

2 Peter 1:1 Simon Peter, a bond-servant and apostle of Jesus Christ, to those who have received a faith of the same kind as ours [bel in JC], by the integrity [+R + J] of our God [deity] and Savior [humanity], Jesus Christ:

2 Peter 1:2 Grace and [mental] prosperity [RMA] be multiplied to you by means of the [epignosis] knowledge of God[/F] and of Jesus our Lord;
2 Peter 1:3 [how? ->] seeing that His divine power [Omnipotence] has graciously been given to us everything pertaining to this [natural] life [logistical grace support] and spiritual life [CWLiving], through the epignosis knowledge [metabolized BD applied experientially] of Him [TLJC] who called us by His own glory and virtue.

2 Peter 1:4 For by these [doctrines - Rebound, Faith Rest, God’s Divine Essence and how it works] God/F has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises [1Peter 5:7, Proverbs 3:5-6, Psm 91, etc], …

… in order that by them [metabolized and applied BD] you might become partakers of the divine nature [God’s Thinking, specifically the CWLiving], having escaped the corruption that is in the world by lust [cosmic & human thinking; OSN lifestyle].
2 Peter 1:5 Now for this very reason also, applying all diligence [mental and physical strength], in your faith [by means of doctrine] apply] [1] virtue, and to your virtue,
apply [2] [gnosis] knowledge, [all realms of BD]
2 Peter 1:6 and in your knowledge, [3] apply self-control [control your OSN & your decisions]; and in your self-control,
[4] apply perseverance [patience with circumstances - hupomone], and in your perseverance,
[5] live the spiritual life [CWLiving]
2 Peter 1:7 and in living the spiritual life,
[6] apply love to members of the RFG, and in your love for members of the RFG,
[7] apply virtue love [to all mankind].
2 Peter 1:8 For if these seven qualities are yours [i.e. keep on being present]
and keep on increasing [we never arrive],
they render you neither useless nor unfruitful [no hopeless situations] in the epignosis knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
2 Peter 1:9 For the Believer who lacks these qualities is blind or short-sighted [occupied with the cosmic system],
having forgotten his purification from his former sins [salvation by grace through faith].
2 Peter 1:10 [CMD] Therefore, members of RFG, be all the more motivated [make every effort] to make certain [a spiritual reality] about His calling [common grace] and electing [Doc of Election] you; for as long as you practice these things [the virtues of living the spiritual life], you will no not never stumble [in the spiritual life];
2 Peter 1:11 for in this way [making your calling and election sure, practicing the CWL] the entrance into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be abundantly supplied to you [conveyance of Escrow blessings].
