CRISIS AND PROCESS

So, there is both a crisis and a process to every experience that we are to have in God : the New Birth, the Lordship of Christ, Sanctification, (dedicated and made holy), the Holy Spirit, etc.

Ask some “Christians” if they are saved, and they’ll say, “I dunno, I’m workin’ on it.” (The Bible says we can KNOW! I Jn. 5). But because they are always “working on” the process of salvation, without the CRISIS of having been born again, they won’t be because they are always GOING THROUGH the door, but never quite get IN. But one can ask others if they’re saved, and they say, “Ya sure, I got saved 90 years ago!” But, too many of them got saved and stuck! They got through the door and then went to sleep for 89 years. The same thing is true of the Holy Spirit. Some believe only in the process of being filled, while others got “it”, and got stuck, (or sprung leaks!). And the same thing Is true with ‘The King’s Greatest Secret” — BOTH the crisis of appropriation AND the process of abiding in Him - moment by moment, both are necessary
