Yes that's a good strong answer . to bad not everyone is as strong in the Lord as we should be .

I love this I love Jesus god bless all in need

Yes, thanks for the Amos 8 reference. Also spoken of in Amos 2.

The Matthew, Mark, and Luke verses show how God loves us and stands up for us. He is our protector. PTL

Yes, seems captivity, slavery, bondage could relate to human trafficking.

I'm familiar with the break in Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 as possibility of so-called Gap Theory. Makes sense to explain when and how Lucifer fell to the earth. Also makes sense in explaining about the fallen angels (sons of God) mating with daughters of men.

And then He goes on in verse 12 to declare how he have "saved" , and have shewed, when there was no strange god among them: therefore ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, that I am God.

Being that They are one in the same, as you know. from what Im reading in Isaiah 43. God is declaring before witnesses that He had chosen and gathered that He is the one and only God, the way the truth and the light, and there is no other "savior" besides Him. It's still God the Father speaking here.

Praise the Lord

Thanks, do you think Isaiah 43:11 is referring to God the Father then, and not the Jesus the Son, or the Godhead?

"I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour."

Since Jesus is the one and only savior as 1 John 4:14 and Acts 4:12 says, do you think its possible the uppercase LORD and savior is Jesus?

Get water baptized in Jesus name. It is the only saving name.

Acts 2:38, " Then Peter said unto them, Repent & be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, & ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost".

Acts 2:39, " It is the promise to you and to your children and to all that are afar off even as many as the Lord our God shall call".

Remember that Jesus gave Peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven earlier in Matthew 16, therefore Peter is not in error.

All through the book of Acts, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, never in titles.

Matthew 28:19 is fulfilled in Acts 2:38 as it also says "in the name of". Alleluia & amen

Ephesians 3:11-12, 1Corinthians 13:12, 1Corinthians 11, 1Corinthians 11:15,

Philippians 2:1,

Hopefully these help

Yes,

John 3:16, Hebrews 1, Hebrews 10,

That seems to be a subject of today that is pretty fascinating. Supposedly the seeds of the fig tree were retrieved from the jars recovered with the Dead Sea Scrolls. Speculation was/is these were the types present during the time Jesus walked in Jerusalem. The most remarkable is some people tried planting the seeds & were successfully growing them today, bringing Interest back to scriptures!! Praise God

Genesis 1:11,12,

Yes, & Amos 8:4-7, ; other places also

Luke 17:2, Matthew 18:6,10, Mark 9:42,

1Corinthians 13:12, yes, it says ._. "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

There seems to be scriptures that sort of suggest that it's possible. John 11, Hebrews 12:1, following from Hebrews 11, Mark 9:2-4, Matthew 17:1-3, 1Samuel 28:15-19,

We will all give account, Matthew 25:31-46, Romans 14:12, Philippians 2:1-16, Deuteronomy 5:11, Exodus 20:7, Mark 9:39, Matthew 12:31, in context Matthew 12.

God is not The God of the dead but of the living: Matthew 22:32, Psalms 139, John 3:16, hopefully these help answer your questions

Hello, Tsluecoop1966,

My understanding is that a Christian cannot be possessed by an evil spirit because the Holy Spirit dwells in us and is greater that any evil spirit. He is our seal and guarantee of protection from the enemy. Christians can be outwardly influenced by evil spirits, but not inwardly. Our inward self is sanctified, therefore holy, so a an evil spirit is not allowed in us.

Dear Freda, I am keeping you in my prayers for all of th4ese things. I agree with you in prayer for healing in all of the sites in your body that need to heal and have swelling reduced. I pray that God will indeed bring you financial blessing and miraculous finances to pay all of your bills. Amen.

You can always tell who is God and who is Jesus by the caps. LORD God and Lord Jesus,,, God and Jesus .

In Daniel 7 there are 4 beasts, if you count the heads and the horns you will get 7 heads and 10 horns. This is a pagan religious system that will influence the world the first half of the tribulation. This beast is worse than the other 3 because it has all in it. The Roman empire is the 4th but in 538 AD the holy Roman empire took over. Nobody was allowed to have any copy of any sort of Gods word or you could face death. They also had the authority to choose who would be the leader of a country. This stayed in play until 1798 when Napoleon captured the pope and put a stop to it. they ruled that way for 1260 years. So the 1260 days is actually 1260 years and that was the wound to the head. In 1923 the holy Roman empire was given a seat at the UN. It was this group when translating his name Yeshua they called him Iesous then later the English put a J on it. They changed the sabbath to Sunday instead of Saturday and created 100s of images of the sun god. Alot of people do this anyway.

Will we be known in heaven as we are known here on earth, can people see their loved ones down here on earth that are in heaven. And what is the unpardonable sin.

Only if you're uncovered , or unfilled : Jesus has authority over the spirit world : leave yourself uncovered , demons can walk right on in :

Ephesians 1:19 - 23 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,

That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: The eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints,

Isn't a sin that goes un-repented in danger? there is a one sin that is unforgiven so reads Mark 3:28-29

All unrighteousness is sin: and there is a sin not unto death.

What does it mean? What is the sin that does not lead to death?

Gail:

Apparently, Luke Chapter 1:8,9, & 10; answered your question to a certain degree. Reading through those verses one can understand the fact that Zechariah, was indeed in the temple to burn incense as his custom according to the priest's office dictate.

However, on the Day of Atonement, Yom Kippur only one priest, which is the "High Priests;" perhaps Aaron, would enter the Temple to burn incense and sprinkle sacrificial animal blood to expiate his own sins and those of the children of Israel.

Hence, Zechariah, would have by then completed his days of ministration and perhaps would have departed to his own house, to be with his family. Hope this help you in your quest for biblical answers.

My question is: "Can a Christian be possessed with a Devil?"

Psalm 38. In Job 2:7-8 we see a similar situation as to David's disease with the physical effects and the disdain of others as to his state. (see verse 11 in this Psalm comparted with Job 30:10).

The first seven verses describe physical affliction which could have been caused by David's sin (such as venereal disease which was discussed in an earlier Psalm). Once we get past verse 7; we see much in the description of the alientation and sufferings of Christ; except for the mention of verse 18 and David's sin and iniquity. Christ did have to suffer to deliver us from wrath by being the sin-bearer and hence again there is a dual representation here of David's life and the prophetic future of Christ. Jesus; of course asked why the Father had foresaken him in Mark 15:34. This can tie into Psalm 22 as well as verse 21 of this Psalm.

We see other indications such as verse 17 on Christ being the "man of sorrows" ( Isaiah 53:3); and his being silent as a sheep before it's shearers (v. 13 and 14 compared with further on in Isaiah 53:7). This; of course would reflect his inquisition for a time before Pilate ( John 19:8-11).

These passages show us that there are often several types of Psalms in one as well as multiple present and future applications. Prophecy in Messianic themes can be intertwined with impreccatory Psalms; for instance. The general idea of the meek inheriting the earth show us how a king (David and or Christ) can be exalted through a serving capacity; and indeed those who are bearing fruit and growing in faith are promised to be kings and priests someday (See Rev. 1:6).

That is certainly an interesting question that I hadn't heard before. We are looking at a chapter where the king of Tyrus is mentioned followed by the prince of Tyrus who is the source behind the king and hence has an origin and a fate unique to anything else (being the only cherub said to fall; as well as being assigned to the bottomless pit and his emissary (Satan and the False Prophet) being the first beings actually thrown into the lake of fire itself.

A parallel passage is Isaiah 14. There seem to be some indications that there was some sort of world of spirit beings before man appeared; not only from the break in Genesis 1:1 and 1:2 but also spelled out in a similar verse in Zechariah 14. Whether there was an original primordial earth at that time with an original destruction BEFORE the one in Adam's time explaining the apparent age of the universe is something often up for debate. At the very least; Satan needed a time to fall into the sin of pride after his original creation (see Job 33:7); then there had to be the rebellion where the massive 1/3 of all angels were drawn into his plot to be worshipped; then the actual fall from heaven; which also seems to come in stages from losing his authority; to actually being cast down to earth in the Tribulation. Revelation 18 mentions the souls of men along with all other types of slavery being part of the final Babylon world system. Certainly slavery is not limited to physical bondage; but spiritual as well and that is Satan's end goal; so there is certainly world domination through religious and economic control from the time of Nimrod to the Antichrist's Tribulation rule whose authority is granted by God to fulfill his purposes.

It would seem as well in study of the giants in scripture and the ancient structures that advanced knowledge was given by demons and the giants had the physical strength to build structures that defy logic as to what science knows of "prehistoric man".

Dear Chelsea, I will pray for your brother today.

Dear LORD Jesus, help Chelsea's brother stay safe in prison. May he find favor with the guards so that they will protect him from other prisoners. LORD God, surround him with your mighty angels and cover him with your protection, grace, mercy, and power. Give him a soundness of mind to be able to endure for the length of his sentence. Bring about in him a godly change and faith that endures. Amen.

Dear Henry,

Thank you for filling me in! I am sure that the Lord is using you in many ways over these years. We all could be in a very different way if the Lord had not reached to us and brought us to faith in Him by His grace. What a wonderful salvation we have in Jesus!

Hello "Jesus knows my name."

I am sorry that you are suffering so. Jesus does indeed know your name and all of your sorrows as well. I have gone through a very dark time in my life, too. It was 20 years ago. so very lonely and isolating. I will pray for you today.

Dear Heavenly Father, You do know this suffering one who knows You. We ask for Your help and triumph over all that is afflicting Your beloved child. We ask, in the name of Jesus, that you will comfort, guide, strengthen, and grant Your child peace amidst the storms that are buffeting this believer. Bring an end to this situation and restore Your child to abundant living once again. Send people into this believer's life who can help this believer and become true friends to support and guide this person through these tough and lonely times. Bring joy into this believer's heart.

I want to leave you with a portion of a song I wrote during my own time of pain and storms.

Comfort, Lord, comfort. Comfort Lord, comfort.

Hear Your child crying out to you.

Comfort Lord, comfort. Comfort Lord, comfort.

I'm casting all my cares on You.

Amidst the tears and above the storm.
