Jesus prayers
His dressing code
from here God creates all the living animals that moves on the earth and we know he present them before Adam to name them.
And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.
21And God created great whales, and every living creature that moveth, which the waters brought forth abundantly, after their kind, and every winged fowl after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
22And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let fowl multiply in the earth.
23And the evening and the morning were the fifth day.
24And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.
25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that it was good.
Read what Adam has written on this is his resent posts on this topic as he gives good explanation and Scripture to show that Jesus is God along with the Father and the Holy Spirit. There is only one God who exists as three distinct Persons eternally-thus what the Scripture calls the "Godhead".
I do pray for you whenever you post this request.
I pray today to God our good Father in the name of Jesus that you will be strengthened in body, mind, and spirit. That God will bring greater stamina to do all that you are to do in your job and for your personal life care.
Father in heaven, thank you for hearing Jennifer every time she calls upon You and thank you for all of your answers to her prayers and ours. Please bestow Your mercy and grace upon Jennifer abundantly today, causing her to rejoice in all You provide for her. Please bring healing to whatever is keeping her from completing her daily routine comfortably and with proficiency. Amen.
I'm not sure if you're replying to me or to Brother Adam but I don't see where neither of us said Jesus had a beginning or ending. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your reply.
Can you elaborate?
God bless.
thanks for allowing me to ask this.
Love this Bible page.
This is the suffering we shall all face one day! The separation of body and soul.
Faced with the new social gospel, death is a subject easily swept aside, a subject that unless you are complete in the knowledge of Christ, you might find disturbing. We who are not familiar with death and sin, the subject for many, is uncomfortable to talk about , or to hear about.
This is become the social gospel, a gospel that wants to comfort those whose eternal life may well rest in the balance of eternal life, verses death eternal death.
Symbolism is the new catch all phrase, within the social Gospel, that in fact all we need to do is love one another and we become the symbol of what God wants!
Dyeing of course is much more than symbolical. Very Real, each one of us must face!
There is nothing Symbolical, about death.
Without the faith and knowledge that Christ has gone before us, we will face death alone. We will face something we will know nothing about. We will experience the real thing, much, much more than symbolical!
Suffering is not symbolical, the Gospel of Jesus Christ, His death and resurrection, are not symbols. They are a fact that unless you come to grips with, you may well find yourself alone in a time you will need Him the most!
Knowing the savior and His love, will be more than enough to face the reality that is to come.
.....And he said to whom the Word came ( his seed ) it made them Gods....impling the gift of God, the H.G. WHICH IS THE CHILD of PROMISE....Remember when God made that great Promise of multiplication he swore by himself....Thus the Gift of GOD, the H.G. is also God..A living being that is gonna be born in US via the seeds of Jesus...Unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a lil CHILD YOU WILL IN NO WISE ENTER THERE IN..OK LEMME GO...When Jesus said whosoever receiveth one such Child in my name receiveth me....Thats the H.G. the manchild that has to be born in us that is gonna rule all nations...The H.G. cannot be born in us without his seed the words of the book of life...Thus he has to know us...the new birth requires his seed
I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy patience, and how thou canst not bear them which are evil: and thou hast tried them which say they are apostles, and are not, and hast found them liars:
God bless you.
Thank you for sharing this, it was the Acts of Jesus and is today, as John recorded what Jesus told them would happen, John 16:7-15.
God bless,

...cont.
So, this chapter also speaks to specific sins.
It speaks of;
bearing false witness against someone, perhaps in a legal sense.
swearing an oath and not fulfilling it.
touching things that are unclean, a dead carcass of an animal or human, a man who had an emission of semen or a woman who is having menstrual bleeding, or handling of creepy, crawling things that are unclean (snakes, rats, etc.) hereby they would be unclean until evening and must bathe before re-entering the camp.
doing harm to YHWH by misuse of holy things, whereby he is expected to renumerate to the priest a 20% charge on top of the worth of the loss of dignity to what God has determined to be holy.
Even if the person does not know that they sinned at the time of the sinful act, he is still guilty of sin. And when he becomes aware that what he did was indeed sinful, he is then to make this trespass offering. This was also true of the sins requiring the sin offering in Chapter 4. Even if done unintentionally or in unawareness, sin is still sin and must be atoned for. I think it is merciful of God to be patient until Jesus came to be the atonement for all sins. And gracious of Him to give us a conscience that can be influenced by the Holy Spirit to show us our sin. This was true for the Israelites, too. The Holy Spirit has been working in creation since it was first created. His work is to convict the world of sin and to lead to the Father, those the Father has chosen to be saved by the work of the Son.
I think that it is so appropoe that the Israelites were wandering in the wilderness. It seems that they were learning along the way as they followed the pillar of cloud/fire. They did not have a long history of God's redemptive work in Christ. They knew that the Messiah was promised, but they had so much to unlearn from their life-long stay in Egypt as well as learn these new commandments and ordinances from YHWH on Mt. Sinai and in the tent of meeting where He Himself known.
..continued.
It seems that as I am reading this book, my conclusions seem to change. I am just learning about these sacrifices, though I have read of them many times, this is the first time I am really wanting clearer understanding of what they mean, shadow, and point to for me.
The text in both chapter 4 and 5 do say that the Israelites sins are indeed forgiven when they confess their sins and offer the sacrifice. But it isn't the animals that bring the remission of sin. It is always Jesus' sacrifice reaching back to this time in the history of Israel that brings the forgiveness and the cleansing.
God was very specific about how the sacrifices are to done and what they are for. He did not give the Israelites any other alternatives than what He laid out to Moses. In the same way, He does not give us any other alternative for the removal of our sins than in Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. Just as the Israelites were to follow YHWH's requirements exactly, so are we to follow in the way of salvation proscribed by Jesus. There just is not any other way to be saved but in Him. This was true of the Israelites, because they could not keep God's laws perfectly, and true for us, because we cannot do His will perfectly, either. WE are just as guilty as the Israelites, and the remedy is in actuality, the same. Only Jesus.
As I finish reading on these 5 different offerings, I think that the priests must have been spending most of their time offering these sacrifices day after day after day; year after year after year; until Jesus fulfilled all that was needed to replace these offerings, and then these offerings were to cease. And they did in 70 A.D. It makes me think too, that, perhaps, part of the reason for the Jews not accepting Jesus was because they were so entangled with these offerings for their sin that they could not part from the shadow to embrace the true reality in Jesus. They were idolizing these rituals, not seeking YHWH as Savior.
...continued
Jesus loved the Father completely. He perfectly fulfilled the two commandments to Love God with all of His being and to love others as Himself. He lived a flawless ethical, moral, and spiritual life. He never misspoke, sinned in his emotions, had an evil thought or motive, acted sinfully, or omitted to do what the Father told Him to do. He never doubted the Father, never was faithless, insincere, unruly, rebellious, prideful, selfish, or self-directed. For 33+ years He never, ever sinned in any way. He did not have a corrupted nature, nor did He do anything incongruous to the Father. He was always in harmony with His Father, and always willed to obey Him in every way. He was the perfect one to be the sacrifice for sin, for an animal is not of equivalent value to man to truly take away sins. But Jesus is of infinite value, and He was the only one Who could be our Savior. The sacrifice needed to be human, but also divine, since the wrath of God for sin is infinite. Jesus gave Himself wholly to God.
Perhaps the first sacrifice mentioned in Chapter 1 is a shadow of Jesus' perfect life of devotion to God. He gave all of Himself to the Father, thus fulfilling the first commandment to Love God with all of one's being. This life He lived was a sweet aroma to the Father, satisfying Him in every way. And then perhaps the meal offering of Chapter 2 was a shadow of Jesus' perfect life lived towards mankind. Fulfilling the second commandment to love others as oneself. Jesus gave Himself wholly for us.
And then, perhaps, the peace offering of Chapter 3 is a shadow of the fellowship Jesus has secured for reconciled mankind with the Father. All three of these offerings were not for sin, since they were a sweet aroma to God having been mixed with oil and frankincense and salt.
The offerings of Chapter 4 and 5 were all about sin and lacked the oil, frankincense and salt. Shadowing Jesus, becoming objects of God's wrath.
1John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.
The Word is Jesus. See John 1:14 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.
Also the Lord Jesus said "I and the Father are one." John 10:30
Holy Spirit is God 1 Corinthians 2:12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
This chapter speaks to the sin offering for trespasses. I am wondering what the difference is between the sin offering of Chapter 4 and this one? Both the sin offering and the trespass offerings are not to be mixed with oil or incense. They are not intended to be a sweet aroma to God. This does demonstrates God's inability to be pleased with sin in any way, shape, or form because He is absolutely, infinitely, uncompromisingly pure and holy. Where there is sin there comes the penalty of death. This is a righteous judgment.
I read that the sin offering of Chapter 4 is for our general sinfulness since we possess a corrupted, sinful nature. It is who we are. And that this trespass offering is for sins we actively commit. It is what we do that is against God.
For this trespass offering, the carcass is taken out of the camp to be burned like the sin offering. It is defiled by the sins imputed upon its substance. It cannot be burned on the altar of sacrifice. Only the fat is burned on the altar within the tent of meeting. None of these two sacrifices are eaten by the priests or else they would be "consuming" sin and be defiled. God is very picky about His people avoiding that which would defile them. Are we picky also, about such avoiding every kind of evil ( 1 Thessalonians 5:22)? Or we make excuses as some things being "harmless". Do we really believe that sin is always deadly to the one who sins?
God, in His mercy, allowed for the sin of His people to be imputed upon an acceptable substitute that would bear His judgment for sin and remove the sin from the true sinner. The animals sacrificed, without spot or blemish, are a shadow of Jesus, who was without sin, but took our sin upon Himself voluntarily to bare the just punishment for our sins, thus freeing us from Gpd's wrath and making us clean instead. He triumphed over all sin by His death and resurrection. But even before He did this, He lived a perfect life in absolute submission to the Father.
Christ is the bright and morning star and before him his angel sent to testify to the congregations.
Repentance is for all mankind.
Woe unto them that fail to follow instruction.

What this means is they (Zachariah and Elisabeth) were Torah observant. What that means is when they committed an act of sin, they would bring their sacrifice according to the requirements of the law, and that's what it means by keeping the ordinances blameless.
It doesn't mean that they were sinless. It just means that they did everything according to the Law. They were Torah observant and therefore they were righteous according to as the Torah is concerned. So as far as character you couldn't get two people that were more in line with the righteousness of the Torah than these two.
