Prayer for my husband who has alot of health issues.

An urgent unspoken prayer request

I was reffering to his claim that "faith is a work" and to his wrong idea about predestination. All of this is Calvinism, and not true.

About Salvation, Ephesians 1:13. Once someone hears the Gospel and believes he is SEALED. Once saved always saved.

Prayers for healing . Me and my younger sister are suffering from Gastrointestinal Issues. Both of us have issue eating food and prevents us from having a good life. Our mother is deeply saddened and often breaks down due to our health condition. Kindly pray for our healing. Thank you, In Jesus Name

May Matheus, my son come at Christmas to be with me anda family , thank you for your prayers .

If you could please pray for my wife, Brenda, who is unsaved, that she will come to accept Jesus Christ as her savior. It would mean a lot to me. Please also pray that I will set a godly example for her as her husband. We're both going through a lot of difficulty within our marriage right now, and I am trying my best to trust in God through it, and to keep him at the center of my life and our marriage. Thank you so much.

I agree , it's very worrying . Christ talks about the deceitfulness of riches , that's a very powerful comment from our Saviour and one that I try to keep in my heart . I think that Paul warns us against the belief that 'Godliness is gain ' . All of us , myself included , need to watch our attitude towards money , money is a very powerful tool that the devil can make use of , to our detriment .

Dear God, Father in Heaven, You who are the All-Knowing All-Ruler and God. You who have given us so much. You who never fail. Oh, we love Your community. We honor Your Holy Name and ask in the name of Jesus Christ for grace to live long and well. You see Jeri Lord, have compassion for him and his family Lord. Heal liver and lungs Lord so that he can continue to take care of his family, the sickness must recede in Jesus Holy name, we exhort the disease to leave the body and throw it into the deepest darkness, Never come back. Fear leave "Jeri" now in the holy name of Jesus Christ. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you and your house will be saved, Amen. We pray that You, Lord, strengthen children and grandchildren in spirit, soul and body. And we give thanks for the salvation You give to us all. Amen Lord Dear Father in Heaven we love Your community, and thank You for prayer answers in the holy name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

James 2 Stay strong in the word of God, I love u in Christ Merry Christmas to u all.

James 2:14-26 Stay strong in the word, love u in Christ and Merry Christmas

Yesteryear we had a Christian culture, amen.

Amen. I agree with what you said.

In my opinion its like watching a driver speed toward a cliff and ignore warning signs to exit now, cliff ahead. Flashing lights, sirens, countless warnings all ignored because of a belief that the signs don't really mean it. The Bible is full of warnings after warnings to everyone, both believers and non-believers. It's full of challenges, parables about how most people will go to hell. Matt 7:21 should scare some who consider themselves Christians but are inactive and not following Christ's teachings. The Bible says to fear God. It says it many, many times. Christianity is a walk, an action of following Jesus's footsteps.

But other Christians seem to have been convinced that none of that matters in the Bible- that its all for nothing, because of the lie that you don't have control anyway. That's the same argument that homosexuals make- that they're the way they are, don't have choices, and they can't help but sin and how dare you tell them otherwise, because sin is part of their identity. Same argument could be used to justify other gross sins and criminal acts.

Since satan is the father of all lies, and since there's only one truth, which is satan most likely behind: that he's deceiving christians into obeying God "more than necessary" or that he's deceiving christians into believing they don't need to obey God at all?

Calvinism seems to be the ultimate have your cake and eat it too. Sin is fun and most Christians would absolutely love the opportunity to go out and commit huge sins with zero consequence and still feel 100% secure in your salvation. But unfortunately, even though we can only be saved by grace, that doesn't mean we shouldn't put 100% effort into following Christ as a real Christ follower! A common false assumption is that obeying God somehow automatically means you're trying to "earn" heaven. Straw man argument. The Bible already addressed grace and obedience in Romans 6, so its shocking to see it ignored. James 2 is hugely ignored, like cryptonite to some believers. Pray deeply about this, about the truth, that no souls are lost from believing lies.

I ask for Healing prayers, sarcoidosis covers my lungs and liver. I ask for prayers for my grandchildren that they may serve the Lord all the days of their lives and find peace in doing so, and that my son may find a godly wife and God heal his broken heart. He's never married, he was engaged years ago and has not had a lasting relationship since. He's a good man. Thank you

Please pray for me to live a normal life.

And if possible, get me someone I can talk to.

Hello Ryan, good to meet you here.

Hebrews 3:1 tells us that Jesus is our Apostle and High Priest. So, He is the only apostle among us today. He is the Apostle and Priests of all believers. Otherwise, all of His apostles, including Paul have died, having left their inspired writings for us to learn from them of the knowledge of God in But now, our Apostle is Jesus Christ, the Author and the Finisher of our faith. The Holy Spirit "takes what is His (Jesus) and reveals it to us".

Hi Alleylee. I agree with what Ryan has shared with you about the apostolic position ending with the Apostle Paul. However, there seems to be a reference to Paul's companion, Barnabas, also being referred to as an apostle ( Acts 14:14). Even as the word, 'apostle' (in Greek, 'apostolos') means 'a messenger or one sent on a mission', which gives this word a more general meaning, one should be careful in seeking an appointment to apostleship. Today, the word 'missionary', or 'servant of the Lord, a preacher of the Gospel', may better fit the ministry of carrying the Good News to others/other nations. The Apostolic Church is one type of Fellowship that fosters the positions of apostles, prophets, etc. You may or may not find yourself at variance with their other beliefs concerning the Trinity, Holy Spirit baptism, falling from Grace, etc.

Please pray for Aunt Judy as she has been put on hospice and starting to fail.

For the most part, this is well said. You are almost there with the first thing you said, that we being members being compared to a mystery.

The Body of Christ is THE mystery Eph 3:1-9! It is not just an illustration. It is also a spiritual truth and spiritual doctrine. Remember 1 Cor 12:13

Calvinism is gnostic and a false Gospel. GOD desires all men to be saved. Men have free will. People go to hell not because GOD regected them before they were even born. People go to hell because they regected GOD. On the day of judgment no one will have an accuse ( Romans 1:20), like saying "But GOD you didn't even give me a chance to believe, it's your fault I'm in here, in hell...".

Beware of Calvinism. It mocks the character of GOD and is a false gnostic gospel. Study to see it is so. All scripture in the Bible show otherwise.

Pray for my marriage to my wife Hilda. She is having an affair and wants to move out and leave our family. I am a servant of Jesus and her husband Danny. I know that this is a spiritual battle and I need prayers to battle the enemy. God bless

Prayer for peace

Amen David.

Gigi this is the example I have given when one trample over the blood of Christ. Hebrews 10:29.

Romans 10:4-11. For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth.

For Moses describeth the righteousness which is of the law, That the man which doeth those things shall live by them.

But the righteousness which is of faith speaketh on this wise, Say not in thine heart, Who shall ascend into heaven? (that is, to bring Christ down from above:)

Or, Who shall descend into the deep? (that is, to bring up Christ again from the dead.)

But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

FOR WITH THE HEART MAN BELIEVETH UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS; AND WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION.

( If you claim you don't know that you are saved until you die and is judged how do you confess it?

WITH THE MOUTH CONFESSION IS MADE UNTO SALVATION IS TO LATE IF YOU ARE DEAD!

( Here's one of many verses that speaks on eternal security)

FOR THE SCRIPTURE SAITH, WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH ON HIM SHALL NOT BE ASHAMED.

Was not Christ judged on the cross taking the penalty of our sins? Yes.

Was he not the Lamb of God? Yes.

Was it sufficient? Isaiah 53:7-10.

How many of those sins was future?

If you can earn it you can loose it.

But if it is a gift and you didn't earn it, how could you loose it?

We are saved by GRACE.

For by grace are ye saved "THROUGH FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

Not of works, lest any man should boast.

For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:8-10.

Grace can't be taken away.

God bless.

Please pray for my 10 y.o. Granddaughter She just lost her mother,my Daughter to cancer Dec. 13th. She has lived under our roof along with her mom since she was 18 months old. Her mostly absent Dad now wants to move her out of our home and she's not dealing with it well. She loves Jesus as did her mom who is now resting in His Arms. Please pray for her situation.

Hi Kelli.

May I asked are you and your husband divorced?

And if not have you prayed for God to strengthen you in this horrible trial? I believe a marriage is Gods way of communicating Christ relationship to his bride. "The Church" "And that is Inseparable."

If you are divorced I believe your commitment and direct relationship to Lord is all important.

Fully trust and seek the Lord and there you will find his will and your fulfillment.

I believe the Lord will adjust your heart to his will what ever that may be.

God bless.

A more excellent way

2 Ti 2:15 study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth"

1 Cor 3 mentions what the judgment seat of Christ looks like. We'll receive reward or suffer loss (gold silver precious stones; wood hay or stubble).

One distinct difference between reward/loss is one's understanding of the Bible. It is to be rightly divided. Meaning it's all for us, yes ( 2 Ti 3:16), but only some of it is written to and about us specifically (us meaning Gentiles according to the flesh.)

The portion of scripture written to and about us is Romans - Philemon. The rest is 100% regarding God and Israel. Paul is our (Gentiles according to the flesh) apostle. All scripture is good for doctrine but you have to rightly divide doctrine. Forgiveness is a perfect ensample. There's a difference between ( Mat 6:14 /// Eph 4.32 /// Col 3:13). The difference is ok because there are two programs in scripture: the kingdom(/prophecy) and the mystery.

We **MUST FIRST** build our foundation on Paul's epistles (Rom - Philemon) then go beyond that once our foundation is solid.

Isa 53 mentions that the nation of Israel is healed by the stripes of Christ. Well, we nowadays, under the mystery are made to sit together with Christ in heavenly places! We have been blessed by the Father with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ! ( Eph 2:6 / 1:3 respectively /// Col 1:27 the mystery which is Christ in you, the hope of glory!).

We have a heavenly hope/inheritance today (the mystery program), just as Israel **had and will have** an earthly hope/inheritance (the prophetic/kingdom program).

There is much, much more that goes into rightly dividing. So there will be more posts from me regarding this subject and many others. I just want to help you by shewing yourself approved unto God. The only way to do so is rightly dividing the word.

Grace be unto and peace, from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Check out Proverbs 8

"His father's wife" means his step mom.

I do not know about the second part for sure; but I think 1). it's talking about the dad and son getting "involved physically" (and my stomach is twisting at the very thought) because remember how vile and sick people were at that time.

2). It is talking about cross dressing (v5)

Plus the context begins in v22 to talking about fornication/sexually immoral behavior.

Alleylee

How does one become ordained as an Apostle today.

One doesn't. 1 Cor 4.9 "God hath set forth us the apostles last, as it were appointed to death" there are no more apostles today because the work of an apostle (as well as prophecy and revelation) are finished/completed. Defining the word "apostle" just simply by one being "sent" doesn't cut the mustard.

It's like the word "perfect." There is a worldly and biblical definition for the word. So it is with the word "apostle." The worldly definition isn't even worth acknowledging. Is the Bible the final authority or not, after all? There's specific requirements to be a biblical apostle. They are no longer in effect. For the 12, you had to be apart of the Lord's earthy ministry since the beginning of his ministry ( Acts 1:21-22). Then Paul is a completely separate apostle by revelation of Jesus Christ. ( Gal 1:1, 12 /// 1 Tim 1:16 /// 2 Tim 1:9)

There are no more apostles. Now there are only ambassadors of Christ, whom God commits all the ministry of reconciliation ( 2 Cor 5:18-19).

The spirit of revelation and wisdom in the knowledge of him, as well as grace be unto and peace, from God our Father and our Lord Jesus Christ.
