  • Heidi - In Reply on John 14 - 4 years ago
    The Lord is able to raise up those who are bowed down. He will supply all your need; and He will meet every desire of your heart if you will delight yourself in Him. He will prove Himself faithful, and as you trust Him, He will bless you richly. Read His Word daily and pray for God's strength and peace. He will give it, because He has promised so in His Word. I am praying for you. All Christians living in the last days need prayer and the strength to live like God wants us to, so that when He returns we will hear "Well done, thou good and faithful servant...Enter thou into the joy of thy Lord." The Lord bless you and keep you, and make His face to shine upon you.

    Colossians Chapter 2

    I think this chapter will help us all to trust in Jesus; to sanctify us daily through the work of the Holy Spirit.

    We can't depend upon any system of works to believe we've got everything covered. For now, Satan is still here, devising strategies, to discredit and convince us we're "missing the mark".

    My Bible says there is now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus. The Bible is a guide book to help us walk in victory.

    A preacher once said, if you don't knock heads with Satan ever, you are probably walking with him. He would love to convince us we are hopelessly flawed and have no hope of knowing THE JOY of our salvation. I'm not talking about feelings. I'm talking about FAITH in what Jesus says about us.

    As easy as it is to mess up; we just need to be even quicker to own it, and apologize to the Lord.

    Sin stings our conscience (where the battles are fought and won). We are daily in the process of being Sanctified by the Lord.

    It really helps to live a fasted lifestyle. There are many things that we take for granted, that trip us up. It's not just food: it's media, television, social websites, worldly music, focus on fashion, too much bodily exercise. What is the focus? Fasting gets our eyes back on Jesus. Learn how to DENY your flesh. If it rises up and smacks you hard...then you know that you do need to turn back to God. Sweeten your closeness to Jesus again. First Love.

    We can Consume great quantities of Bible and not suffer for it. I do not mean feeding a sense of defeat, but actively feeding our inner spirit that is alive unto God. Jesus is interceding for you. Fill up on his Word and walk in the forgiveness, joy and victory. Talk to the Holy Spirit like he's in the room with you. He is. Place your hands over your heart. What does your faith tell you? Faith from reading Bible. It says you are LOVED; ACCEPTED in the BELOVED. You belong to Jesus. Live for Him.

    1 Corinthians Chapter 7:18 Is any man called being circumcised? let him not become uncircumcised.

    how could it possible that someone is circumcised to be uncircumcised?
  • S Spencer - In Reply on Deuteronomy 28 - 4 years ago
    Theoderrick.

    Romans 2:28-29. For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh:

    But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God.

    Galatians 3:26-29. For ye are all the CHILDREN OF GOD BY FAITH IN CHRIST JESUS.

    For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.

    THERE IS NEITHER JEW NOR GREEK, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

    AND IF YE BE CHRIST'S, THEN ARE YE ABRAHAM'S SEED, and heirs according to the promise.

    God bless

    Sister Mrs. Joanne Peters, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    Ephesians 4:5 There is one body, one Spirit, even as you are called in one hope of your calling;

    You are the ONE BODY (as everyone else), the SPIRIT (of God; CHRIST) lives IN YOU, and gives YOU everything he is, this one hope (in God's eyes a finished work) is that through the WORK OF CHRIST IN YOU we will be delivered from sin and death (flesh, the ways of the world) into the glorious liberty of the Sons (daughters) of God; the EXACT LIKENESS OF CHRIST. You do nothing on your part, IT IS THE GIFT OF GOD, you are just a vessel made only to hold CHRIST. You (sinful flesh) died on the cross of CHRIST; YOU were raised with Christ and Christ lives for you, gracing you with all he is; love, peace, truth, perfection, mercy, faithfulness, wisdom, understanding, knowledge, etc.

    Ephesians 4:6 One Lord (Christ), one faith (and Christ GIVES you his (ONE) faith), one baptism (you were baptised into Christ death; your flesh died with his flesh and was resurrected with him in a NEW BODY (this one body; the body of Christ in us).

    Romans 6:3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptised into JESUS CHRIST (not water) were baptised into his death.

    Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he hath part in the first resurrection; on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priest of God and Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
  • Heidi - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 4 years ago
    Thank you for that.

    Yes; the most important thing to know is Him! It is vital that we do not get caught up with the small details and ignore the large ones, which we often do.

  • David on Deuteronomy 33 - 4 years ago
    Complete comfort and benefits are for those who abide in Him. Never so well supported or borne up as we who are washed in the blood of the Lamb. Divine grace is sufficient for me. We are well commanded so there for more than conquerors over the spiritual wickedness in high places. I am secured. My security and protection is in the arms of My Savior God and King. The Lord provides for all my needs. The Lord is my present Help daily. My victory is assured in my Salvation provided for through the shedding of the precious blood of my God, The Lord Jesus Christ. Help me to set my affections daily on You and Your Word. Col 3:1

    (Largely paraphrased from Matthew Henry's commentary, 1710)
  • S Spencer - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 4 years ago
    Shelia.

    There's no extra merit whether you use Yahweh, Jehovah, or God.

    There is value and virtue knowing the meaning for each name given,

    but if we want to place merit on how we pronounce it. There's no vowels in the Hebrew name, so Yahweh would also be incorrect.

    Exodus 6:3. And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Isaac, and unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty, ( EL SHADDAY ) but by my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them.

    Abraham actually called God Jehovah numerous times, as did Isaac and Jacob. The point being made to Moses, in Exodus 6:2, isn't that the Patriarchs didn't know the name Jehovah, obviously they did. But that name was being given a new significance now as the covenant name of God with Israel.

    I think what's most important is do we know him.

    God bless

    It seems we are not on the same page. I'm sorry my reply was not clear. I will try again but let's not be disrespectful. The thread you first replied to about the abomination of desolation was discussing teaching I do not agree with. It is called the seven years of tribulation using the last week in ( Daniel 9:27). It developed in the 17th Century, and it quickly led to an understanding that the Rapture of the Church would be an event separate from and before the second coming of Christ.



    The beast does only have 42 months. It starts in Revelation 12 when Michael stands up and Satan is cast down to earth, the third woe. ( Revelation 12:7-9) Satan then gives his power, seat, and great authority to the beast. ( Revelation 13:2-8)

    There is another beast with two horns, the false prophet, ( Revelation 13:11-18) he is the one that does miracles, fires from heaven, creates the image of the beast, and causes who will not worship this image to be killed, this beast causes people to take the mark of the beast all in 42 months.

    This is just a small bit of information but I hope it makes sense and clears up misunderstanding. If I may and not offend, may I suggest studying the day of the Lord?

  • Clinton J Snell - 4 years ago
    Proverbs 16:3

    My thought life, and as I assume from conversations are as most others, is the greatest battleground for Christians.

    The mind is the point where the spirit, soul and flesh come together. This is the place where war erupts as these three entities struggle with each other for their own purpose.

    The spirit is what makes us who we are, the unique characteristics of being an individual unlike any other. The spirit houses our likes, dis-likes, talents, stamina and abilities.

    The soul is the eternal center of the individual. The soul is what brought us into existence. The soul understands and longs for the true moral center of righteousness. I believe deep within each of our souls lies the understanding we were created for a higher purpose than to merely exist for a season in the flesh. The idea of connection to something greater.

    The flesh is of this world as it was created from this world and became sinful through our acceptance to commit sins. It seeks immediate gratification and is self-indulgent wanting to be first and foremost in our environment. It seeks to please others so as to be accepted by those around us thereby not leaving our flesh to be at enmity with the world in which we live, so as not to be apart and alone.

    In this struggle our mind weighs each of the thousands of decisions we make every day. Each entity within us strives to have its desire implemented. I have heard it said "it is not the big decisions which shape our lives but the smallest decisions which direct our actions and guide us". These small decisions are what leads us to; a fulfilled life, a mediocre life, or a tragic life with these last two ending with the loss of our soul to what the soul desires, communion with that which gave us eternal life.

    By committing all our works (decisions) unto God will bring peace to the struggle in our mind. Incorporating God into every decision ends the double-mindedness?

    Galations 3:13 god will redeem us from the curse of law. since from the beginning from his first creation ( man)kind man was alone then women there were translations problems between the 3 parties how they couldnt understand each other . adam and eve when told no matter what it was he said dont and the half of the man. long story short a party didnt like the idea that something they could see taste or touch but any when communication started everyone wanted to control well have power per se. so for his wrong sends his son to show that hes real and to lead by example just have faith youll get to the beginning perfect world. (eaven) .jesus was god earth his creation a child is your creation your there god . but anyway bottom line is everybodys heaven is right here. from 10 commandments , roman system , jewis law etc. what has transccribed to there system. but whats crazy is to people that the samething has 2 diffrent stories .we are own god in our iworld.. law isnt a man its a institution . no heaven or hell just peace at the end but reading a book isnt going to save you from something that you are is your family. and the afterlife your get the same chance the difficultt level of that life is hell for the one for not having faith in yourself not to command but by example
  • Shelia - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 4 years ago
    God is not a name it's a title he gave his name to Moses at the burning bush we must first know his name (YAHWEH) in order to call upon him the apostle Paul says in 1corithans 8:5 there are lords many and gods so we must investigate for ourselves his true name
  • Chris - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Hello Paul. I would agree with your statement, though I would used the word 'pre-ordained', and one needs to understand certain things. We see in Ephesians 1:4,5, that God "hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will." Here we see that God has already chosen who would belong to Him even before the worlds were made, that we should be a holy people & predestined to be His children by adoption, because of the sacrifice of His Son for us. Even though that comes through as a mouthful, we can appreciate that Work of God through Christ because of Who God is & that all knowledge belongs to Him.

    Similarly, in 1 Peter 1:1,2, Peter is writing to the "strangers scattered throughout Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia". These 'strangers' were those of the dispersion (many of whom there as a result of Acts 8:1 & other associated persecutions). And these strangers were now residing in those areas of Asia Minor & would have included both converted Jews & Gentiles. To these, Peter addresses them as sojourners or pilgrims, who are "the elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ."

    So these scattered believers are considered as the elect of God because of God's foreknowledge, because of the sanctifying work of the Holy Spirit, & because of the virtue of Christ's Blood (application & sealing of the New Covenant) upon them (alluding to the animal blood of the Old Testament that was sprinkled on the altar confirming the Covenant by God to Israel). Therefore, our salvation has been pre-ordained or pre-appointed by God but that is based on Him already knowing about it. We still have to hear the Gospel, be convicted of sin & respond with repentance & faith ( Acts 3:19).
  • Shelia - 4 years ago
    What is the Saviour name when he walked the earth plane if the letter J was not in play at that time still no letter J in the Hebrew language to this day ? The Holy name Bible refers to the names YAHWEH ELOHIM YAHSHUA are the correct names.
  • Mary Batton on Isaiah 55 - 4 years ago
    I had the same thought in Isaiah 55:1- I was reminded in John 19:28 when Jesus says "I Thirst". Something on the inside of me said He is thirsting after Righteousness, thirsting after the living God, thirsting for the Living God but realizing He (God) is in Him(Jesus)..so He (Jesus) was missing that once was in Him

  • Theoderrick on Deuteronomy 28 - 4 years ago
    The last paragraph that the individual wrote does not refute the spiritual content of The Most High testament about his people.Tell the public when the jew-ish people were enslaved and bloodline tainted by other nations? They read from the Babylonian Talmud and yet they overcome their exile.They are lenders not borrowers...and they turned white....! According to the Biblical narrative, they are not supposed to be in Ysrael until Christ return to put them there...and not to mention they don't believe in him.
  • Fred Scanlan - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Being free in a country that has no walls, even around its own house!

    How can these things be? How is it possible for even my neighbor to love me! How is it possible for the evil one too have power over me? Now comes my Holy Spirit! This spirit of freedom found in and under the shed blood of Christ!

    Outside, is this one who spins and weaves a web of deceit and guile, who only wishes to cast your body and soul into Hell? evil

    While the children are yet to find a way, the way of the yoke that is light and easy.

    Oh, how they struggle, and are ready to blame someone else for their own sin!

    Finding no freedom ,only more fear of imprisonment of a soul that is lost because of a heart and mind that will not listen! The end with body and soul cast only into hell!

    Grab hold of Him ,while you can. The time is quickly passing, take hold of the savior today, while it is called today!

    Be free indeed, in the Christ the Savior of the world!

    Mrs joanne peters, upon receiving the Holy Ghost, some speak in tongues of gibberish that only God hears. Others receive the Holy Ghost and do the Lord's work, preaching and healing. Of the two, works is the greater gift.
