Philippians 2:13. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
God bless.
I would like some insight if I may. I have been a Christian going on three years. And as of recently I read a book entitled Absolute Surrender by Andrew Murray which changed my life and gave a lot of clarity on what I was doing wrong in regards with living a Christian life. I know that I am a child of God and I know my purpose in life is to be an instrument of his will and to be a light that shines in the darkness. I strongly have been convicted but in seeking him more I'm studying his Grace, Love and the Fruits of The Spirit. I know if i'm made perfect in love then I have peace and that peace that passeth all understanding is in my heart with Christ my Lord. When it comes to be unequally yoked with my spouse I understand that I am to be at peace with all men and if I am then I also have fruit as we'll. I am finding it very difficult to live with my family who are unequally yoked and still share the deeds of this world. It's very hard but if I understand the word that if his grace is sufficient for me then that's all I need and also to understand that true love and pure love casts out all fear. So why do I feel bad in participating with either watching TV with her or my kids, movies, family gatherings etc.... ? I ask the Lord to show me how to love like Jesus, Talk like Jesus, Walk like Jesus, but how do I converse with family members or even friends who are in spiritual darkness? I know it says that If I am light I should have no dealings with the darkness but how can I ever lead my family or friends to Christ if I am not willing to take time to be with them. I've learned when I am in these situations I keep praying in my head and it really helps. But I love my wife and I know that Gods sovereignty was that we be together but it's hard you know and it can be very very draining. Any advice. I want to serve my God first but also share the love of Jesus. TY
god (spirit) is sovereign; god leaves no part of his children being brought to perfection (image of god), to mans supposed free will.
we all make choices thousands of times a day; but there is always a cause that made you make that choice.
philippians 2:13 for it is god (spirit) that worketh in you both to will and to do his good pleasure.
ephesians 1:11 in whom (in christ) we also have obtained an inheritance, being predestinated (god's will and work) according to his purpose (bring sons and daughters in the glory of the father)(not left to chance and choice of man) of him who worketh all things (even you choices) after the council of his own will:
god does not even leave your believing to chance:
philippians 1:29 for it is given to you on the behalf of christ, not only to believe (the word) on him, but to suffer (in the flesh) for his (name) sake.
1. Isaiah 7:14 - People called Jesus Immanuel which means "God with us"
2. John 10:30 "I and my Father are one."
3. John 8:19 "if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also."
4. John 1:1 "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."
"Word WAS God."
5. Philippians 2:5 - 2:8 "Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus: Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God:"
"form of God"
"equal with God"
6. John 1:3 - All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
Jesus made everything.
7. John 14:10 "Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works."
8. John 20:28
"And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God."
9. 1 John 5:8 "And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one."
10. Genesis 1:26 - "And God said, Let us make man in our image"
"Let us make" - plural.
What I gather from this is they are different but the same. We will probably never 100% comprehend this until after this life. The Son is not the Father and the Father is not the Son, but it says they made everything together, are in each other, have similar form, they both have great power to do miracles, and both are referred to as God in the Bible.
1- what happened to all the bodies of the the 1000's that died in biblical battles?
2- if Abraham lived 175 yrs. and Sarah127, why were their bodies considered too old to produce or bear a child?
If I may ask a question, I respect your knowledge of scripture. Jesus is the Son of God the beginning of creation, He is the first and the last, and His name is above all other names that are named and through Him, all was created. After His resurrection, God placed Him above all, until He puts every enemy under His feet, and we know that is death, ( 1 Corinthians 15:25-28).
We do see in ( Romans 8:3) He was sent in the likeness of sinful flesh, but there was not any sin in Him as was the first Adam when God formed him. The way many use the word Godhead, which is the same Greek words for divine, divinity, and divine being, gives the impression that Jesus could not sin. If Jesus was unable to sin what did He defeat? ( Hebrews 2:14-19)
The covenant had to be fulfilled in the flesh that was capable of sinning to be able to break the curse of sin. Jesus coming and what He suffered for us was the will of the Father. We even see in ( Matthew 26:39-44) and ( Luke 22:41-44) being in agony asking the Father if there is another way, but not the Sons' will but the Fathers.
Can't we know and accept the divinity of Jesus, as the Son of God, His name above all names, Him (Jesus) who now holds the authority overall, by God placing Him above all, Jesus is Almighty, ( Revelation 1:8), without saying He is God, which is called a mystery and confuses many? What I see and hear from scripture, there is God the Father, the Son of God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, all are one in the will of the Father, and we as the servants of Christ, and through Jesus, we do the will of the Father and are one with the Father. Am I wrong?
I do not want to cause strife, this is just a seriously honest question asked out of love.

To restore my relationship with my children.
To heal my heart
To bless my fiance' to excel in her studies and be the best in her class
She refused counseling
She wanted the divorce then changed her mind and I kept it going out of shear frustration and I had also committed sin with a relationship. I since repented and have been single for 3 Years. I met a Christian woman got to know her, this time I waited and asked her to marry me and we are waiting until next year. I have been seeking the Father about this for sometime as to not put her or myself in a position of unforgiveness. I really Love her but I Love God more!! But he Loves me more!!
I missed the verse of the day from Thursday, October 7, 2021.
Would it be possible for anyone to send it to me?
Kind regards,

In reality, people looking for God is a little like a fish in a river looking for water, we are literally immersed in and made of God (being his offspring). The notion that we, or anything, is separate from God is an illusion, a little like a wave on the ocean believing it is separate from the ocean. A wave can not be separate from the ocean except in the mind of a person, in the world of words and thinking. Neither can we be separated from God, except in our minds. Let go and let God. When were were born into this world, we felt (knew) we were connected to everything in our world, we felt (knew) the Truth of "in him we live and move and have our being". As we have aged, our perceptions and world experience have changed and allowed us to believe that we (and others) are somehow separate from God. This is an illusion and why Jesus taught that unless we "be converted and become as little children, we shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven". Being converted here simply means a change (conversion) of consciousness, we must see and experience the world as we did when we were children, when we realized that we were not separate from the world, or anything in it, in order to enter "the kingdom of heaven"
20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
I pray against sickness in my coming and going. I pray against any form of sickness coming near me, my family, or near my vicinity. I claim my healing against: (speak your disease out now) in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. I declare by the power and authority of the Holy Ghost, that no illness, spirit of infirmity or sickness attack from the enemy shall prevail against me in Jesus's mighty name. I am covered by the Blood of Jesus.
I confess Jesus Christ as my infinite Healer, and by His holy stripes and mighty authority, I declare that I am totally healed from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. I render every satanic attack against me bound up and cast out by the Name of Jesus! every spiritual foundation of sickness, and I command every infirmities spirit to bow down right now to the authority that is in the name of Jesus Christ. Go into outer darkness. Do not return in Jesus of Nazareth name!
I pray against sickness in any form or shape. I say with confidence that I am the healed of the LORD Jesus Christ. I cover myself and family with Christ's precious holy blood of Jesus and I declare by His holy might and righteousness, dominion and authority that it shall continue to be well with me and my family in all dominion, and dimensional realms.
I forbid by the authority of the Holy Ghost any reoccurrence of sickness in my life. I claim immunity for me and for my family against every form of sicknesses with the atonement blood of Jesus Christ. I declare that we carry the mark of Christ Jesus; therefore, let no infirmities spirits ever trouble us!
In Jesus of Nazareth holy name and by His righteous authority I have decreed and declared! I stand in faith. Amen.
