The Bible-word of God isn't about what if. In the beginning WAS GOD, God was and is there are no what if's, He said I Am Alpha and Omega. God is first and last the beginning and the end.

Great understanding of the term willful sin. John Wesley use to use those terms in the 1700's. The understanding of sin, that was not of the heart, not willful, no intent and no motive of premeditated thought. Yes a involuntary sin but not from a heart that's been purified by the Holy Ghost. But it still has to be recognized, asked forgiveness for and stay clean and holy.

Thank you for those lovely comments Richard. Indeed, as we walk closely with our Lord, special things are revealed to us from His Word & through prayer that are helpful for our learning & encouragement. As you have learned about the meaning of "us" & making application to others around you, you are in fact interceding on behalf of others & at the same time keeping you sensitive to them in their needs. It may well be that our Father may draw others to you for help & counsel since you are actively praying for others; if we ask, then we should expect to receive, especially when asking right in the centre of His Will ( 2 Peter 3:9, as you well quoted).

Just as a little background to the Lord's Prayer. You remember, Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them to pray ( Luke 11:1). It was common then that disciples of a Rabbi/teacher would give his disciples (e.g. John the Baptist) a prayer that would demonstrate their position before God & speaking to Him. And these disciples were usually quite 'raw' in their understanding & maturity, so a prayer that could be recited was particularly special & endeared them to their master. However, since the establishing of the Church at Pentecost, the disciples not only received power from on high, but also were led to speak & pray according to the Will & Power of the Spirit. Yet, sometimes we do yearn in the spirit for someone or some situation & yet pray lacking knowledge believing the Spirit will help us & enrichen our prayer before God ( Romans 8:26).

So, while it may be special to repeat the Lord's Prayer in a meaningful way, rather than a pure recitation as is often commonly done, by adding your own heart-felt words to it, it's offering to God becomes so much more special & personal. But if we feel our prayer is becoming a little mechanical or repetitive, then praying outside the bounds of the Lord's Prayer is certainly warranted. And I'm sure that the apostles engaged in much 'free' praying for the Churches & the lost.

Wondering how to reconcile the years of man: in Gen 6 it's 120yrs but in Psalm 90 it's 70 yrs. And although some say it was pre-flood and post flood--do you have any other thoughts why?

Thanks.

I am asking for healing on a sciatic nerve pain which runs from my back through the right hip and down my right leg to my right foot when I stand and walk for a long period of time. The pain goes away when I am in bed but struggle when I roll to the left or right side of my body. I have had 2 1/2 weeks with this pain and it just gets stronger everyday I stand, walk, or even do anytime of movement while in bed. I am asking for the holy spirit to heal me but have had no results in my prayers. So I am reaching out to have someone pray for me to release this pain and deliver me form my infirmities.

Thank You

God Bless You and Your Ministry

names and titles used. Its important to see man work in the changes in the scriptures.

I agree with your explaination of letter J. When I found out it was more serious than that.

Christianity started in a gentile area called Antioch. what scripture say this.....

"And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch."

now who started christianity... from much praying.. and then searching i came to

Acts 6:5

"And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch:"

stephen was killed and believers were scattered and Nicolas returned to Antioch and that when the first christians started.. Nicolas.. st Nicolas.. ..Santa claws. brings in christmasn xmas tree ( Jeremiah 10:1-9), easter replaces passover feast of the unleaven bread. easter and xmas are paigans.

this I now know Paul

didn't identify himself as a christian be was a believer and follower of the WAY.

Acts 24:14

"But this I confess unto thee, that after the WAY which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:"

John 1:1 and 14

John 1:1

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

"And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."

John 14:6

"Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

The disciples were believers who followed the WAY. the WORD that became flesh is the truth Messias.

Revelation 19:13

"And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

Hello my brothers and sisters. Hoping this is ok, here, as this is about prayer but not a prayer request. When prayer began to become part of my daily life. The our Father prayer was of coarse my foundation as it is a good, simple, prayer. As time went on it felt good to just add more details to the prayer to make it more personal, detailed, and unique. One thing that came to me was after looking up the definition of "us". As it states to be a plural form of "I" or "me" that, could, usually means more than one. But there's no real detail if you're saying the prayer for just yourself, or whose in your house, or what? The Lord said to me one night "pray for all". This was perfect. So as in the prayer lines like "give us, forgive us, or deliver us, etc" adding "all" after "us" felt great. The Lord Blessed me with this, as to pray for all people. As in the Word there are several sayings like Matthew 5:44, Luke 6:35, 2 Peter 3:9, along with many others showing Gods glorious mercy and love for everyone. It may be hard to see it at the point in life you are in, life's not easy, but He's with you. As I just felt to share with this with you all. In that it may help in any way.

I'm sure we all have our own relationship with God and Christ. It truly is special when we are intimate with our Perfect Father. Producing good fruit with His will. God Bless you all my brothers and sisters, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord.

The disciples could cast out all devil's because jesus gave them the power to do it in mark 6.13 And they cast out many devil's and anointed with oil many that were sick and healed them But they could not cast out the devil because this job was for jesus only John 18.37 pilate therefore said unto him Art thou a king then? Jesus answered thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was i born and for this cause came i into the world that i should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. John 12.31 Now is the judgment of this world now shall the prince of this world BE CAST OUT thank you for your Response may God bless you always

Robyn Hocking - In reply on Revelation 15:5 Rebekah Bates

Hi Rebekah, I find several references to Lucifer being the covering Cherub but not of the Mercy seat or Beama, Could You let me know where this reference is from please?

My research has led me to understand that linked to his description of the light bearer ( not light in himself) as covering cherub he most likely reflected the True Light / Glory of God. Many descriptions of the throne Of God are as having the appearance of a rainbow behind it. Considering the beauty and colours described by God as to How Lucifer was formed one could expect such a covering to reflect a rainbow effect. Possibly, now a new, more beautiful and faithful cherub would most likely been formed to continue the function. But through Lucifers great vanity he no longer qualifies. I don't believe it was covering in the sense of protection as much as it was covering in the sense of magnifying the presence or the Beauty of the Glory. I hope this is of Help to your understanding.

God bless you and prosper your understanding.

Your answer typifies one that doesn't believe in the existence of God, nor of His Love in sending His Son as payment for the sins of those who repent & put their faith in Him. This would all be gobbledegook to you. So, it would be meaningless to you when a person who has been arrested in his spirit by the Spirit of God, made conscious of his sins & of being hell bound & through repentance has received a new life from God, speaks of such things as factual & not fanciful. The Bible records, as do Christians from past generations & present, that God is real & true & that He does intervene in their lives in very clear unmistakable ways. We have proven God's interest & activity in our lives, whether as a result of prayer or just in being His children walking on His Earth, to our complete satisfaction. I can't even begin to relate accounts of Divine intervention & help, when ordinarily things would have gone pear shaped.

Your opinions are appreciated, but in truth, you're expressing them in a medium that is full of current testimonies of God's Love & Faithfulness. But if & when the time comes, as appointed by God, for His revelation to come to you, you can be certain that that experience will be so overwhelming that all your beliefs & ideas will be cast out, as you see the One Who came to give His Life in your stead. But this can't come from your reasoning but from conviction in your spirit. We pray that you will be led aright in your earthly sojourn & that this God Whom you reject now will manifest Himself to you in a very special & specific way.

Hello sir. So the beginning of your statement has "I think" in it. So I would say that's nice instead of saying "I know" like a lot of other people do. One other thing at the end of your sentence that "God has never been shown to answer prayers". This is not true. I am just one living proof that God does answer prayers and can work miracles. And there is much more living proof in this world. God Bless you.

I will think about what you've said. I much prefer to help people in the prayer room.

You are kindness, that I would like to be. Thanks for your concern.

To Edify simply means to encourage, uplift or to give moral or spiritual benefit to someone.

In Eph 4:29, Paul was dealing with the sort of things we might talk about. Many then spoke useless or accusatory things of each other. Rather, they should use their tongue for another's benefit or blessing. See also James 1:26 and 3:5-8.

In 1 Thes 5:11, Paul was dealing with Christians in that Church that were fearful & despairing that those who had died would miss out on being resurrected at Christ's coming & also about the coming Day of the Lord. He encouraged them in these matters & told them to edify each other, especially those that were still fearful.

In 1 Tim 1:4, again Paul ministering to young Timothy, encouraged him to avoid matters & discussions that only gave rise to more questions & disputings that led to no fruitful outcome. Rather concentrate on matters that would strengthen & encourage other believers: things that blessed the hearer & had great eternal value.

Being born of Water and blood can be understood in a number of ways:

I would suggest That in this case, it refers to the natural birth of Christ Jesus whereby the normal birth involves the breaking of the woman's waters, in a sense being baptised into the realm of Humanity . And God declared many times that Blood is the Life Thereof. (Heavenly Beings need no blood as they don't have mortal bodies) By these means we have assurance He is truly of the flesh , thereby he could rightly be judged a truly righteous sacrifice for humanity as he being made flesh , remained sinless . I hope this Helps your understanding. God is Beautiful and fulfils every righteousness.

Bless you, and watch for our redemption is at the door.

You mention the 'big bang'. Would not that assume that there had to be material, whether solid or chemical, for that to happen? In other words, how can there be a bang when there's nothing there? So where did that material come from? Even the smallest atom or the tiniest spark requires someone to have caused its creation & appearance.

It sounds like one needs a lot more faith to believe those 'scientists' which tell us that certain things happened in the distant past without any verifiable, documented, photographic evidence. Looking at some rocks can give some indication of an history of the worlds, but I've yet to learn of the possibility & reason for a 'big bang' without an instigator. If one would like to question those who believe in a Creator God, one should first convince himself that his belief in these other 'facts' are actually not an expression of faith on his part. When we are convinced that there is no God, then in our minds, the reason for our existence must be found in finite man's mental assumptions that would give us any reason or excuse to justify the non-existence of God.

I am asking prayers for my family. Just keep praying for them and that they are all ok. I also ask prayers for myself and that God will help me stray away from my bad habits. Help me put all my faith in God. Pray that Covid will go away and we can get back in church. I think that will help break my habits. THANK YOU AND GOD BLESS

Robyn in Reply on Revelation 4

Hi William - in Reply on Revelation 4 You stated

"When translated from Hebrew to Greek ,then Latin and in to English this is the name they used,Jesus .However there is no letter J in the Hebrew or Greek alphabet, so therefore the name Jesus never existed back in this time,the letter J only came on the scene appx 500 years ago .The Messiah was called by his true name ."

You are in part correct but The modern pronunciation also is not what it was. J was originally pronounced as "Y" as in the Hebrew yod. When I was young we still understood this, as with Johann Sebastian Bach -which Was pronounced Yohann, etc.

Language changes in all religions even modern Hebrew and greek are not exact to their ancient meanings nor pronunciations. Most of us understand His Name was Yeshua HaMashiach as found in ancient texts But, Jesus hears our hearts and Knows who he is... whether it is said in hebrew, greek. or english. Just as when we hear someone of foreign language try to speak our names. Yeshua means Salvation that is Who He is.. Obviously you have the gift of studying the Word, and can Help others come to the word through your Study, Please Don't get lost in the little things When we need to set our eyes on HIM especially as the time is Nigh. He is Coming soon , I pray you can put your heart back to bring those still seeking. to the Gospel , Time now is to cease division among us and instead time to strengthen the brethren. God bless you and Keep You.

Contact the housing authority in the county you live in. The website may give you some ideas of which office to speak to.

See if you can find someone to. Ourselves you considering age, disability and employment if you are still working.

Some cities have hotlines like: 311, 211

Main thing is to calm yourself so you think about problems logically and with purpose.

There may be a church near you who will have someone who can counsel with you.

Repair your relationship with the Lord (use 1 John 1:9 as often as something comes to mind.) And ask him to give you ideas for your situation. Be still and listen for His Voice. "My Sheep hear My Voice"

Satans voice accuses, confuses and breeds fear. Learn how to talk back: "I rebuke you, Satan, in the Blessed Name of Jesus!" Get thee behind me, satan! Resist the Devil and he must FLEE!! Worship the Lord and Him only!

Keep it up and get your center back. Tell yourself, Fear Not. Make a plan and then follow it.

Call 1-800-700-7000 and let the ladies pray with you. Every day if you need to.

I don't think there is a god to answer you're prayers, either that or he/she/it does not care or has no power, or the will to help people out. This probably is not helpful to you but it kind of underlines the need to build a better, fairer society for us all rather than imagine that it will all be better if we just trust in a deity which has never ever manifested itself in the natural world and has never been shown to answer prayers.

Matthew 16:20 And jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto thee, That thou art peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. And i will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Then charge he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was jesus the christ. from that time forth began jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day. Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee. But he turned, and said unto peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.

Please pray for my entire family. Especially my grandson, and my mother. Also for the world, and our country.

What did Jesus reply to Satan when Jesus had been Fasting 40 days in the wilderness ??

It's in the Gospel chapters.

You better have some scripture inside of YOU, to mix with your Faith in Jesus, by way of the Holy Spirit,

iF you are going to pray for someone to be set free from demons. That's a whole big study there! HOW did Jesus DO IT??

We've heard how the disciples didn't do so good their first time out all day long. Know why?

The Holy Spirit hadn't fallen on them yet. They had to wait till Pentecost. But they had seen Jesus do it. Jesus told them: heal the sick , cast out demons, cleanse the leper's. Freely you have received, freely give.

We're supposed to be learning this stuff!

There are many good Teachers on FM Radio you could be listening to. They've all been teaching on Ephesians 6. Demons and spirits are invisible. Can you fight something invisible?

Do you know what your Sword of the Spirit is?? Is it big or little? It is your knowledge of scripture: that is your sword.

David killed Goliath with a rock. But he saw that rock pierce Goliaths head and enter his brain. Goliath blasphemed The God of Israel and David could not stand by and eat all that ridicule. He had a deep relationship with God. That he got by spending time in Gods presence.

When the demons ridicule you.... what have you got to throw at them?

God made clothes for Adam and Eve??

God made a uterus for Eve later, after she'd been created??

How about this one (a prophesy about Jesus spoken in Genesis 3:15). Jesus is going to crush your head, which he did on the Cross!

There's a ton of scriptures you can beat up demons with. Get in the Bible. Quit treating the Bible like public school. You can't use cheat notes on a live demon.

01)I want to request urgent prayers for our pet dog Negra, the vet has given up hope but we are praying for a supernatural miracle healing. Please help us with your prayers.

02)I want to request prayers for a financial breakthrough for me and my business

Ephesians 4:29

Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.

1 Thessalonians 5:11

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

1 Timothy 1:4

Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do.

There is plenty of comment already written by people who study long hours on it.

Scroll down to the. 1-100 pages of past days, comment.

Yeah, it will take time to look through of all of that, but in it you will find gems of wisdom.

Like this: animals DO NOT have souls.

Sorry to keep asking for prayer. My entire financial future at age 62 is compromise because I signed up with SIGFIG and BLOOOM robo advisors who sent emails with my entire account balance, what securities the stock symbol and the numbers on the brokerage accounts to my email address. I have learned that reviews of these robo advisor services are not what they are written up as. My personal financial information was synced to the actual brokerage accounts so I could have current real time picture of what the investment values were. God I am 62 yrs old and all my personal information is out there being read by artificial intelligence in the dark web. Now I am attempting to get the third robo advisor I signed up with to delete close my account because I do not want this to happen again. God please pray for me. my personal financial information with the balance on the account, my individual investments, was leaked in an email to my personal email address..I have been trying to get the robo financial advisor who is powered by artificial intellligence to cancel/delete the account. The problem is I have to get a text or call from their computer before I can sign into the account. My phone number will not receive texts or calls from them. Can you please pray someone will read the emails I have sent in an attempt to get this account closed

There is no mention of Cain dying or getting killed. Maybe he died in the flood.

"But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die."

The first commanment to mankind and we could not obey this simple thing.

Again, most of you are commenting on future events. This is suppose to be about chap. 2 Gen.
