This is the 5 G of God. It is sharper than a two edged sword, dividing the good from the Bad. Satan cannot know these things, He does not have the power to look into the soul, He judges things from the outside! This saving faith , given through the holy spirit is yours, produces streaks of power that enlightens the world, even saving some, who , may learn the truth! The love of God in Christ! This is the will of God for us and man kind! Go and teach all nations in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost!
She's not here, and don't make fun of my mom.
Therefore as I grow in God's word my desire is that all will be included in God's Heaven. 2 Peter 3:9. That is why I go in Jesus Christ Name ( Acts 4: 10-12) and testify and witness to others about the gospel of Christ. It is my responsibility, my love for my Lord and Savior and also for the Lost in Christ to bring them to Christ. Matthew 28: 18-20.
If you read and study the Word of God, it will become evident why there are two gates. God is love and will not force anyone to trust in Him. Everyone has a choice, you choose. Or find a Bible believing church or a person whose been saved, reads the Bible, and serving God to help you make your decision about God's salvation and heaven. God is Love, but He is Holy first. God's desire is for all to be saved. Titus 3:5, 6
Call on God!! Before we pass into eternity and it will be too late.
I think you are wrong on 2 counts:
1) God says the spirit returns to Him, not to Jesus or the Holy spirit.
( Ecclesiastes 12:7) Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
2) The trinity is not Bible doctrine. The Bible names these 3 but nowhere does it mention or commit to a trinity.
What else do you think about Bible mystics?
I know we all go thru that mind set. Paul writes about it in Romans 7:11-25. The Lord knows our frame and helps us through His scriptures. It is not easy. Our responsibility is to search His Word and trust in its application to our lives. Gal 2:20; Col 3: 1-10; 1 Cor 10: 13 are passages that helped me. It takes time, however it gets easier as time goes by. Key is to keep working at it. The Lord is there for you. He wants us to succeed. Remember, it is His desire that we be like Christ. Romans 6:5; Phil 3:21; 1 John 3:2. Sorry didn't mean to give you so many verses, just wanted you to have enough "ammunition" to fight against the enemy and quench all his fiery darts Eph 6: 11-18. I used 3X5 cards to write the verses and carried them with me to help me memorize the verses.
God bless you, and know that the Lord is there for our success.
Look what happens to Jacob and Esau when they are all grown up, through the centuries. The last time these two boys met up was on the trail in Genesis 33. Jacob was afraid that Esau would kill him for stealing his birthright, but they exchanged gifts and parted ways.
But now, in (Obadiah) we see that Esau (Gog) has obliterated Jacob (Israel) so much so that God is extra angry at Esau. This is the day of the Lord battle aftermath, similar to ( Isaiah 24). We see parallels between the beast & Babylon, and king of north vs king of south allegories. The Bible will tell you the same thing, several different ways to round off your wisdom. Keep reading.
Happy Father's Day everyone.
The battle is spiritual exclusively against a devilish trinity - three unclean spirits like frogs that come out of the MOUTH of
the Dragon, and out of the MOUTH of the Beast, and out of the MOUTH of the False Prophet.
The War against these three unclean spirits is in aquatic and terrestrial environments, polluted with spirits like frogs.
What strategy should be adopted for this war to fight them?
The strategy of the main enemy in this war is known to those on the front lines. Revelation 12:v.13-17
13 And when the Dragon saw that he was cast unto the earth, he persecuted the woman which brought forth the man child.
14 And to the woman were given two wings of a great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness, into her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time, from the face of the serpent.
15 And the serpent (the Dragon*)cast out of his MOUTH water as a flood after the woman, that he might cause her to be carried away of the flood.
16 And the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed up the flood which the Dragon cast out of his MOUTH.
17 And the Dragon was wroth with the woman, and went to make War with the remnant of her seed, which keep the commandments of God, and have the testimony of Jesus Christ.
The testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of prophecy.
* Dragon is the new name of Devil in this time of Apocalypse.
Armageddon in Hebrew tongue - Ar - Mag - Eddon. Contraction of three words: Air ( ) - Magog - Eddon (red) .
The testimony of Jesus Christ is the Spirit of prophecy.
It is easier to fool someone that convince them they've been fooled.
There is none, though art God and there is no other God beside thee. There never has been and there never will be anyone like unto thee.
There is no other Saviour but the Lord Jesus Christ. He is the only begotten Son of God. There never was and never will be another Jesus Christ.
Ahhh heavenly Father, there is no other Holy Spirit but thy Spirit which thou has given unto us. He is the promise of the Father whom he sent down to be our comforter when our Saviour Jesus ascended after his glorious resurrection.
Father, I thank you for the Holy Scriptures, which thou has given unto us. Thy Word oh' God, is the sole source of truth in this lost and dying world.
But thanks be unto our God, salvation is available and free this very hour...
The Word of God declares, For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved!
Oh my friend, I invite you, come to Jesus and accept his love today and be saved.
Heavenly Father, Son and Holy Spirit, I Love You.
AMEN...
Bald Eagle bird as the symbol and emblem of the country who built her nest among the stars, of the star bangled banner flag they wave,
wandering stars of Hellywood, full of witchcraft and sorcery, watching over the Ramparts, surrounded by the sea walls, whose Pride hath decieved them. Who hath Fallen and become the habitation of dEVILS and every unclean and hateful BIRD. Her sins hath reached unto heaven and God hath remembered her inquities and will reward her double. The Sea shall come upon Babylon with the waves roaring and she shalt be burnt with Fire.
Yes, there is a lot to think about here. The more I know about the millennium, the more I know I don't know about the millennium. It begins a new age and the story isn't understood using common sense. For instance, the saints in the millennium were resurrected, born again, of Spirit, Christ-like beings, so why all the fighting? The plausible answer is they are now fighting the spirit world, and the devil has no place among the incorruptible, and is extinguished forever. I think God made the hereafter descriptions vague because he wanted us to focus on the prophets and the Gospels.
I have trouble with a rapture theory where the church (Christians) worldwide is removed through divine intervention, before the great tribulation, and presumably resurrected. Jesus said you will find the "taken" where the vultures circle over, so they are dead bodies.
-Rapture is not in the lexicon, it's not established doctrine, and if it were established, there would be many detailed accounts of these events. There are none such accounts, only conjecture. I wouldn't call it standing on solid ground.
-( Revelation 6:10-11) The OT saints are asking how long till judgment, and are told to wait till after the sealed saints die, at the seventh trumpet ( Revelation 11:12). This is the first resurrection of the great tribulation saints.
-( 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18) is the one of the most manipulated scriptures assisting rapturists, but this occurs at the last trumpet ( Revelation 11:12).
-As the one hundred forty four thousand sealed of the Christian elite are being sealed, billions of living Christians are raptured to heaven so they won't suffer their appointed death? What is the point?
-Why are living Christians counted among the firstfruits, and not the billions who died in Christ?
-The first resurrection is only the one hundred forty four thousand saints.
-The second resurrection is for everyone else.
Hebrews 6:4-6 is a section that many use to say you can lose your salvation. But it is not talking about losing salvation. Salvation cannot be lost. You have to understand that these were Hebrew/Jewish people who were following along with the believers and partaking in the teachings along with the believers. But they never were saved so there was no salvation to be lost.
Think about it this way. There are many people who pack our churches every Sunday. But not all who go to church are saved individuals. A person has to receive Christ and be born of His Spirit in order to be saved. Now, those individuals in the church who have never received Christ, they may look and act like believers, and yet be void of the indwelling Spirit in their lives.
You and I might think they are saved because they go to church and speak the lingo, and might even say amen on occasion but still never received Christ. So after many years of going to church, they had enough and walked away forever. Did they lose their salvation? No, they were never saved, to begin with.
That is the same thing we see in Hebrews chapter 6. Those Hebrew people were in with the crown and partaking of the same things the believers were partaking of, but they did not take that next step of surrendering their life to Christ. They were being enlightened to the truth, but an enlightened person does not mean they are a saved person. A person can be enlightened to the truth, and still, never receive Christ. They didn't surrender because of the persecution that they would have to go through if they denounced Judaism and received Christ as their Messiah.
So instead of surrendering their life to Christ, they turned away and went back into Judaism. It was much easier for them to do that than surrender to Christ. But they were never saved, so there was no salvation to be lost!
What I am saying is that when we die, our spirit leaves our body. In fact, the word death literally means separation. A believer's spirit separates from their physical body and immediately goes to be with the Lord. Paul says in 2 Corinthians 5:8 that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.
Right now, the Lord's with us but we're not with Him in heaven. But as soon as we are absent from the body, as soon as we experience death which means separation, as soon as our spirit leaves our body, we're in the presence of the Lord.
There's no "soul sleep." There are no in-between phases. Paul says I'd rather be out of this body and present with the Lord. But in the meantime, while we're here, we live by faith. We live by the Spirit of God!
As far as heaven being man, I know nothing about that. I've never heard that before. Heaven is a place, not a person.
I believe the question was What are characteristics traits needed to be a prayer warrior today as it relates to prayer?
Not do they exist, and yes we do humble ourselves when we come to the Lord.
and no it's not a special office. Whether you call it prayer warrior or one who prays it's all the same, We pray in the spirit and let the Lords will be done.
James 5:17. Elias was A MAN SUBJECT TO LIKE PASSIONS AS WE ARE, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain:
A " Prayer warrior " is a man subject to like passions as any one else who prays.
There is no partiality between the two.
That shouldn't be offensive unless you give it some merit.
Anything we do for the Lord has to be done through the Lord,
Any gift we have has to be given by the Lord, and those gifts differ.
Prayer is what we're all asked to do. If you want to call it prayer warriors, then we're all prayer warriors.
You can't get merit for it by attaching warrior to it when you're praying in the spirit.
Romans 8:26. Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.
And by the way it haven't been a war in the Bible by God's people that God haven't won himself. In fact if they went to war with out him behind them, they lost!!
God is warrior, we put on the Amour and let him fight the battle.
This is why I mentioned humidity.
God bless.
When the word "temple" identifies a literal temple building, certain distinguishing verbal indicators are used such as "the temple of The LORD" or the designation "holy temple". Often the use of the definite article "the" serves the same purpose to refer to the actual temple. If the Scripture provides a geographical location such as "Jerusalem" or "Babylon" (e.g. Ezra 5:14), an actual temple structure is meant.
THREE UNCLEAN SPIRITS LIKE FROGS
Revelation 16:v.13-16
13 And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the Dragon, and out of the mouth of the Beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.
14 For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that Great Day of God Almighty. - The Lord's Day -
16 And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
15 Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
Why do Scriptures highlight these spirits as frogs? Why frogs? This is an interesting mystery. Here goes what was revealed unto me about this deep mystery.
You all know that, in general, frogs are amphibians vertebrate animals that live between the aquatic environment and the terrestrial environment.
THE AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT OF EVIL SPIRITS LIKE FROGS
Bringing the true assertions above to the spiritual side and for our understanding according Scriptures, we need to quote first Revelation 17:v.15, that says:
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.
As we can see, the verse 15 above shows us, or rather, reveals us the AQUATIC ENVIRONMENT of these spirits of demons like frogs which guide the peoples or rule nations of all tongues in whole earth, through all kind of devilish systems, as religious systems(catholicism, and spiritism, budhism, islamism, among others), and political systems, and military systems, and social and cultural systems, among others systems. In fact, Satan goes to and fro and from walking up and down among them.
The biblical interpretation above is about spirit like frog that infested waters according Revelation 17:v.15.
What is THE TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENT OF THE EVIL SPIRITS LIKE FROGS?
It's a lot to the Jacob and Essau than what meets the Eye, ( Highly Spiritual.)
For lack of better terms here is the root of the story behind them.
Genesis 25:23. And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
Romans 9:11-13. (For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, THAT THE PURPOSE OF GOD ACCORDING TO ELECTION MIGHT STAND, not of works, but of him that calleth;)
It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger.
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Jacob had a spiritual discernment that Esau did not have. Esau was a man of the flesh and did not care for spiritual things. In fact, he so discounted his birthright that he traded it to Jacob for a bowl of soup!
These 2 brothers not only represents 2 nations but also spiritually God's elected way " His purpose GRACE "= ( JACOB )
ESAU represents man's self righteousness and perhaps worldliness, flesh. thinking his inheritance is earned by being born 1st.. BUT GODS WAY BEING 1ST BORN DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE BIRTH RIGHT. IT'S THE SECOND BIRTH THAT IS ALL IMPORTANT!!
All through the scripture you see this pattern, 1st Adam 2nd Adam, Ephraim and Manassah, And ourselves Being born again. This is one of many Allegories in the Bible.
GOD'S ELECTED WAY IS GRACE.
Romans 9:11. For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand,
( NOT OF WORKS, )
but of him that calleth.
God bless.
And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing wherewith his father blessed him: and Esau said IN HIS HEART, The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then will I SLAY my brother Jacob.
Romans 9:13
As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Malachi 1:3
And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
Obadiah 1:18
And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.
KJV Commentary: Esau
Hairy, Rebekah's first-born twin son ( Gen. 25:25). The name of" "Edom, "red", was also given to him from his conduct in" "connection with the red lentil "pottage" for which he sold his" "birthright (30, 31). The circumstances connected with his birth" foreshadowed the enmity which afterwards subsisted between the "twin brothers and the nations they founded (25:22, 23, 26). In" "process of time JACOB following his natural bent, became a" "shepherd; while Esau, a "son of the desert," devoted himself to" the perilous and toilsome life of a huntsman. On a certain "occasion, on returning from the chase, urged by the cravings of" "hunger, Esau sold his birthright to his brother, Jacob, who" "thereby obtained the covenant blessing ( Gen. 27:28, 29, 36; Heb." "12:16, 17). He afterwards tried to regain what he had so" "recklessly parted with, but was defeated in his attempts through" "the stealth of his brother ( Gen. 27:4, 34, 38)." "At the age of forty years, to the great grief of his parents, he "married ( Gen. 26:34, 35) two Canaanite maidens,
Esau tried to conciliate his" "parents ( Gen. 28:8, 9) by marrying his cousin Mahalath, the" daughter of Ishmael. This led him to cast in his lot with the "Ishmaelite tribes (present day Palestinians) and driving the Horites out of Mount Seir, he" settled in that region.
