This could be useful. "You (us) shall know the truth, and the truth sets us free." I'm thinking that: Not people, but spirits are on assignment in a room dedicated to Gods Word: the King James Bible.

So like last night I was about to go to bed, and the Holy Spirit said "contention".

If we read Psalms enough, we will see that King David occasionally was victim temporarily to sadness, anger at enemies, King Sauls relentless pursuit and many other issues. We work this stuff out by prayer and sometimes speaking the truth in the spirit of love, for the brethren.

Here is the origin of the spirit of contention. We need to recognize it's been busy in here for weeks. Lord, make me an instrument of Your Peace. Amen. Let's let the Spirit of Christ rule over our hearts.

Spirit of Jealousy: Manifestations:

Revenge-Spite, Anger-Rage, Jealousy, Hatred, Cruelty, Strife, Contention, Competition, Envy, Cause Divisions Scriptures; murder

( Genesis 4:4-6; 37:3,4,8; Proverbs 6:34; 10:12; 13:10; 14:16-17,29-30; 22:24-25; 27:4; 29:22-23; Numbers 5:14,30; 1 Thessalonians 4:8; Song of Solomon 8:6; Galatians 5:19)

Roots... "The Works of the Flesh," Galatians 5:19-21.

"By their fruits you will know all men," Matthew 7:20. According to Matthew 6:10; 11:12; 12:29; 16:18; 18:18; 28:18

BIND= Spirit of jealousy

LOOSE= Love of God, 1 Corinthians 13; Ephesians 5:2

Testimony: as a kid I lived in a household divided some ways. Me and my Dad were placid and peaceful. He was full-blood Cajun. I was a negotiator. My sister, the silent one. The others were fighting lots. Dynamics awful to live in. But you learn skills that are useful later on.

Michael the Archangel and Satan (a fired Archangel) contended for the body of Moses. Michael said, "THE LORD REBUKE THEE." Satan let go.

We have to recognize it for what it is. Let's all pray for these Comment Rooms. Lift them up and ask the Lord to bless them; attract unbelieving seekers of salvation in Peace.

Hello Carol The context of the conversation is about stewardship of things Given by God and responsibility for that which has been given. Talents were actually a measurement of payments by money exchange at that time, but the teaching was about stewardship.

Brother Adam, it isn't that God couldn't give man free will if he wanted to, it's just that there is nowhere in God's word that it says he gives man free will. Man make CHOICES, which is an EFFECT of a CAUSE.

There is never a Cause without there being an EFFECT. There can't be an EFFECT without there first being CAUSE.

The CAUSE, His words were spoken before the foundation of the world. Those words are being fulfilled in the exact order he spoke. You were predestined to do every thing that has happen in your life, good and bad, At this very moment you are in THE PLACE God ordained you to be. This time tomorrow you will be in exactly THE PLACE God ordained you to be. YOU ARE BEING CREATED IN CHRIST. We grow in maturity. CHRIST will not fail in what he was sent to do. Not everyone was called to come to truth in this age, some are vessels of honour and some vessels of dishonour, IN THIS AGE. There is more AGES to come. Those resurrected back to their flesh will at some point in time be brought to TRUTH. They had no Free Will to be anything other than what God had PURPOSED.

God's word says Satan was a LIAR and a MURDERER from the BEGINNING. Man doctrine teaches Satan was a PERFECT ANGEL from the BEGINNING.

THIS CONTRADICTS, in other words it makes one of those two a LIE, and God's word does not lie.

Isaiah 54:16 ....I have created the waster to destroy.

God created a waster to destroy, if this creation isn't Satan then who is it.

1 Corinthians 5:5 To deliver such a one unto Satan for the DESTRUCTION (waster to destroy) of the flesh, that the SPIRIT MIGHT BE SAVED in the day of the Lord.

Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, it (FLESH) has to be DESTROYED.

Many (ALL) are on the road to destruction (waster to destroy), FEW find the WAY. If you (FLESH) are destroyed, then you are no LONGER ON THE ROAD TO DESTRUCTION, but off the the road and on the WAY to IMMORTAL LIFE.

God Bless you.

Brother Rick,

Regarding the word "Gift" verses "Favor" as mentioned in an earlier post, these terms have been interchanged and argued by the biblical scholars and are related to the various language translations. If it is as you say simply a gift, all that believe - will go to Heaven. Not wanting to beat a dead horse, but the devil and his demons believe - are they going to heaven? We both know the answer, so it requires more than just believing, and this is talked about by Jesus and his apostles throughout the NT.

I'm glad that we do agree that "just believing" is not "a free ticket to salvation". So then, it also takes obedience, so we can't just say "we believe" and continue to live our old lives (live in sin), we are Born Again - to live new lives, and we must struggle as Paul states in various scripture. Many do not believe Paul when he states the following scripture:

Hebrews 10:26

"For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins,"

Galatians 6:7

"Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

Philippians 2:12

"Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling."

So if you believe Apostle Paul, we will need to participate in our own salvation! It is not just "a Gift" that we receive - no matter what we do. Many people today pick and choose some of Pauls scripture that will approve their current lifestyle, but they will ignore Pauls additional scripture - if it does not help to confirm their lifestyle. When they hear all of the "feel good preachers" telling them they can keep their current worldly lifestyle and still receive salvation - they jump right on board that train!!!!

All of the scripture tells us we "must believe" and "be obedient" to receive our salvation.

Happy Sabbath Day and God Bless.

Earl Its your privilege to believe what you believe and showing verses to prove a point when other verses don't say the same point makes the conversation null and void that being the case I'm on to a different subject matter. God Bless Remember a man convinced against His Will is of the same opinion still.

Dear Sascha;

I am glad to hear your response to my concern and that you have not been wounded in the way I put forth. Being wounded by a person who has been a spiritual leader is difficult. It happens often, unfortunately. I agree that anyone can learn from God in all of the ways He brings truth to us; whether by individual study, study with a spouse of friend, a bible study group, a sermon, articles and books in print, teaching from online resources, dreams, visions, life circumstances, etc. Yet, with all of this, the Words of Scripture should back up and uphold and teaching before we accept it as unchanging truth.

As always, God's blessing to you and your loved ones today.

Hi Grace Isn't it amazing how Jesus Christ heals a man that you know they knew and when they saw him he was in his right mind and clothed, where did he get the clothing? But the people like you shared weren't concerned at all about miracle or ask questions basically got angry and ask Jesus to Leave. No humility or meekness or curiosity, I would probably have been shocked but I think I would have asked how did you do that. I believe in our day and time if God would work like that which he does most people wouldn't believe it, so to me nothing has changed.

I commented on Demons/Devils being cast into swine. It's over in Discussions Room.

God Bless, Mishael

Hi Adam I totally love the common sense logic you apply in certain categories in conversation, lets keep focused and not go off the deep end mentally that God can do everything and anything because he can't. My examples He cannot lie, he doesn't control us, he's not an indian giver so to speak, he's not going to change all the laws i.e. gravity and physics and others just to fit what others think he should do. He can do great things when we work in His Realm according to His Word.

Who is this mighty God You shared a great statement in Jeremiah 2:13 For my people have committed two evils they have forsaken me the fountain of living waters[ John 4:9-14] and have hewed them out cisterns broken cisterns that can hold no water elevated vain thoughts against the knowledge of Gods Word Romans 1: [imaginations contrary to it is written] in verse 19 it says there own wickedness not anything that God did. When we turn to the Living God that is what he gives Life. His works and His Word are indeed great and we who believe are made up of both.

Has anyone taken vaccine and recommended it.

I want to be loving.

This mandate is cruel. Does anyone think vaccine is the mark of beast? I dont think you should take anything that mandates you to get it in order to buy and sell.

Sister Sacha, it says in verse 5 Jesus was in Capernaum, but in verse 28, it says Jesus was in the country of Gergesenes, I think this was probably a gentile country, that why there was swine in the country.

I like you comments about the blessing we receive when our EYES SEE God's creation and when his POWER is displayed.

Hi Mishael Personally I get a kick out of your post, I don't really comment on actions on the spiritual side much because most people do not believe the way He functions. I have brothers and sisters in the word who say I would like to experience something like that to which I've said point blank no you don't because its not a game. Years ago I was involved in a situation where an individual and I quote got so strong they ripped a steering column out of a car, some one at a church said they had a personallity change, I explained it scripturally they didn't believe it. That individual was put in a psych ward never to be seen again. My hands were tied from trying to help. Like you share this is a spiritual war and to arm your mind with IT IS WRITTEN know what you have in christ andf DON"T BUDGE!

Hi Brother Spencer,

Always nice to converse with you. You touched on a lot, and I will try to respond. I think you know what I mean when I say "plain people". God gave us His Written Word via the Bible so that a "regular person" can read/understand, and ultimately accept Jesus Christ as his savior. Yes, God's Holy Spirit is instrumental in the understanding/transformation of the Born Again Christian. This can all happen without the person becoming a Bible Scholar!

Accepting Jesus Christ as Savior, being baptized and recieveing the Holy Sprit, repenting from sin, and living a New Life is accoplished between the person, and God! So I beleieve we are in agreement, that God will accomplish the transformation through His Holy Spirit.

You stated the following:

"Here's The commandment Christ is speaking of- " John 15:12. This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

I will say, It is more than just "one commandment" that Christ speaks about. The commandments are plural - more than one:

Matthew 22:38-40

35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets

Please Note: Jesus states on the above 2 commandments "hang all the law" and the prophets! Christ is not doing away with God's 10 commandments!

Jesus stated that the 1st and Greatest Commandment is to love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. If we love God, as a good Christian, why wouldn't we try to follow his 10 commandments?

God Bless.

Hi Earl,

You wrote some controversial things there that sound close to blasphemy. Alarm bells should be sounding right now.

Is it possible that you have build a narrative around a few cherry picked verses? But how do you explain the multitude of other Bible verses that say the opposite of what your belief? It's like plucking out 1% of the verses that fit a certain interpretation and ignoring the 99% of the rest.

Have you prayed to God about your current belief if what you said is true or not, and have you received any confirmation? If so, how do you explain the countless others have prayed to God and have confirmation already that what you say is not true?

Let's analyze your 3 Bible verses you seem to assume supports your conclusion.

1. Daniel. Yes, God is powerful enough to do His will. He's also powerful enough to give us freewill to choose whether to do good or evil, or whether to follow Him or not. Do you not believe God is powerful or capable enough for that?

2. Isaiah. This doesn't mean what you assume it does. "Waster to destroy" - it sounds like you're assuming this means satan, but what if it means something else? Isa 21:2 says a waster wastes things. This is not a verse I've researched, but already it just sounds like quite a logical leap to draw such a big assumption from it. Angels like satan were cast out for sinning by their own choosing: 2 Peter 2:4, Luke 10:18

3. Jeremiah 23:12 - evil in this context means a natural evil or natural disaster or calamity.

Curious question: if you don't believe in freewill do you believe God forced you to write this against Himself? Do you feel you have any choices or responsibility in your life whatsoever, like choosing to order a hamburger instead of a chicken sandwich? God bless.

You are absolutely correct brother Dan . I do think that my faith in God and His Son has been strengthened by studying His word beyond the commandments . Also , if the simple commandments were the only things that we needed to help and encourage us then that's all God would have given us don't you think ? God knows how to keep us with Him , He knows that many of us are weak and lazy and easily distracted by this world , He knows how to strengthen and comfort us and that's why He gave us the Bible , which is more than the simple commandments , it is meat and drink to us and it is there for a purpose , God's purpose , or He wouldn't have given us it . You are correct , the basic message of salvation is very simple but some of us need a bit more food to sustain us in this life in these kingdoms of men that are horrifying and tempting at the same time . The more I read and hopefully understand the stronger my faith gets and my guess is that there are going to be some very trying times ahead for all of us . May God's Word keep us strong in Christ .

Hi Harold . Personally I think there are many ways to fast , depending on what you enjoy in life . I drink one bottle of wine a week , if I wanted to fast I could deny myself that for maybe four weeks ? You could maybe not eat meat for one week , keep your t.v. off for a week ? It's only a real fast for me if I am giving up something I really love and enjoy , probably a bit to much .

I agree with you. Why would God create people to be like robots.

He created us in His Image and Likeness. He gave us free Will to choose evil or good; to choose our destiny.

In Deuteronomy Gods says Choose Life!! I told some people that God is Pro Choice and they almost crucified me. He's saying CHOOSE-LIFE.

So that we may LIVE__and our offspring.

Thank The Lord Jesus! That His Blood draws a line in the sand. If we follow Him, we will, to choose Life.

Most people miss it, that a demonized god, named Moloch/Molech, was worshipped by the people giving their children to be sacrificed to him. It's still going on. He's dead, but that practice continues. I guess it's truewe're destroyed for lack of knowledge.

We have free will and are able to choose to obey or disobey God. He's saying: Choose Life.

Before I got saved I drank an ocean of liquor, with pills. Almost died "accidentally". I chose that. After near-death, I chose Life and Jesus. It's lasted 36 years.

Life is more peaceful and agreeable to just choose life; all the time. We can look at this world through the Lense of what God purposed for it

And knowit was beautiful. It will be beautiful in Heaven too! Added joy=No Devil.

Tell somebody the GOOD NEWS :D

Brother David, God is SOVERIEGN he does not allow anything HE is the CAUSE of everything.

Daniel 4:35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and GOD DOETH ACCORDING TO HIS WILL in the armies of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth, and NONE CAN STAY HIS HAND, or say unto him, What doest thou?

Did he allow Satan to be created, or did God create Satan?

Isaiah 54:16 ....I have created the waster to destroy.

Does God allow evil, or is he the cause of evil to be used for HIS PURPOSE?

Jeremiah 23:12 ...and I WILL bring evil upon them.

Bro Dan That just confirms my point, when a person is born again they choose to go Gods Way his word his condition which requires a change in heart and mind by the spirit not just believe. [L would really be thankful when people would not change or try to read into what I plainly state ]hence the individual needs to work his walk. Never said or implied free ticket by the way in Romans its called free Gift! that being said if you give a gift to a relative unconditionally out of love and they decide to not use it later on do you say I want it back, remember God gave it because we need it not because we earned it, now getting the inheritance is an entirely different discussion. The first century church fell apart because too many people were abusing there freedom in Christ and went back to walking by the flesh, and judging each other by the flesh that's why Paul says in the epistle to Timothy know this that all Asia has turned from Him and He was Called to be the Apostle to the Gentiles. These people chose to walk by the flesh and invent different belief systems based on the five senses, the one body in Christ has never been correct since.

All of Gods dietary rules were for our protection. The didn't have refrigeration.

Certainly in that scene, The Lord is showing us up close and personal, that demons can get inside of humans, pigs, to do their demonic work against the HUMANS. They were inside the man and they were able to move into the pigs. Jesus was showing us that reality. They are outlaw spirits. They do not have permission to get inside anyone.

People yield themselves. They give anger free rule, next it invites a murder spirit to enter too. You watch porn, and later you are doing things you Know are sinful. Take a stand against it.

Satan or Demons, principalities, powers ARE NOT HUMAN. Ephesians 6. We have armor for that: the Word of God in our mouth.

But we must stand on the Authority of Jesus Christ and take Dominion over the demons. We have to be exercised in the kind of "fruit" they leave laying around: fear, sickness, depression, unreasonable anger, haughtiness, etc. The part of the crowd that screamed for Jesus to be crucified was demonic. Satan didn't want his head to be stomped. Genesis 3:15

When I want to obey the posted speed limit, people act crazy. I help them go around as I pray for them. Sometimes they have fish magnets on their bumpers. :/

Mishael

Brother Robert, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

Romans 9:17 The scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might show my power unto thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth.

God is sovereign and RULES over his creation.

Everything happening every moment is HIS work, showing man his power that his name might be declared throughout the earth.

This was the same thing happening when he CAUSED the demons to go into the swine, THAT HIS POWER and HIS NAME might be declared throughout the earth.

The word of God, is speaking to the person, reading the words, we should put OUR NAME in place of the name he is speaking to.

Romans 9:17 The scripture SAITH UNTO ROBERT, even for this same purpose have I raised thee up ROBERT, that I might show my power unto thee ROBERT, and ROBERT that my name might be declared throughout the earth.

Daniel 4:34 And at the end of the days I ROBERT lifted up my eyes into heaven, and ROBERTS understanding returned to ROBERT, and ROBERT blessed the most high, and ROBERT praised and honour him that liveth for ever, whose dominion is an everlasting dominion, and his kingdom is from generation to generation.

Daniel 4:35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed as nothing: and GOD DOTH ACCORDING TO HIS WILL in the army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the earth, and NONE CAN STAY HIS HAND, or say unto him, What doest thou?

ROBERT YOU CHOSEN to show GOD'S POWER and HIS NAME.

God Bless you.

Unto them Zidon also and Tyre they gave Carrs. What is Carrs?

Hello again Earl My last point when God gave the ten Commandments he Told the children of Israel you shall not throw any other Gods before me I am a Jealous God. There are events in the old testament that the adversary did and there are events that the true God did then there the ones that the True God allowed the adversary to do, why because he is almighty God with Job Satan said to God If I do this he'll curse you, God knew His man and said no he won't and your not allowed to kill him. Job was Gods example of the Goodness of the true God and the Wickedness of Satan, also Gods word says God cannot be tempted neither tempt he any man. God will prove us but not tempt James 1:13+14 there is a difference. Do I believe Gods Will will come to pass absolutely but on His Terms.

Matthew 8:34 The city came together and told Jesus to take a hike! I understand they were devastated. They had lost 2000 swine! But were they so carnally minded that they absolutely missed the miracle that took place? :-)

Yes I feel compassion for the swine. So I'm assuming that we are worth more than many swine in the Lords eyes.

I love reading and studying my bible official king james online. acknowledege,wisdom& understanding. god bless you always

Hi Earl There is a difference between God allowing things to happen because he cannot break His Word, God intervening to bring to pass His Word, I am fully aware of the scriptures that you show and many others. Why doesn't he just stop all chaos and world destruction then? Why did He not stop Adam and Eve from there act of disobedience sin in the Garden.

Everything in the old testament was to bring to pass His Greatest achievement which was buying us back from His arch enemy the adversary but doing it on terms that God set up which means he won't lie or manipulate to bring His Justice to pass. He greatest achievement our Saviour on totally legal grounds, and the enemy knows this. Our God is true in all His ways and works are pure and all life giving and sustaining. When our lord and Saviour was here in person where ever he went He wrecked havoc on the enemies kingdom and brought to light the difference between the two, John 10: 9+10 steal kill destroy. The adversary manipulates to his advantage everything the true God has done that is why he will and does use scripture to His Advantage. I'm aware of what you state its how you state it, peace be to you.

A recurrent hernia can happen for many reasons, such as a surgical error, the sutures holding the abdominal muscles together becoming less effective over time or a surgical wound that has not healed properly.

Additionally, recurrent hernias can be caused by various conditions, behaviors and activities that strain or weaken the abdominal muscle after the initial repair. These include:

Being overweight

Smoking

Diabetes

Steroids, chemotherapy or other medications that compromise the immune system

Heavy lifting or other strenuous activities

Signs and symptoms include:

A bulge at or near the site of the original hernia

Pain - which can range from a dull ache to severe pain - especially when coughing, sneezing or lifting heavy objects

Bloating or constipation

Lena, sometimes I've stood in prayer for healing and it didn't come. Apostle Paul prayed for healing and the Lord 3 times and the Lord replied , 2 Corinthians 12:9. It happens. It doesn't mean our faith is not strong enough.

I think you should get your records on your past surgery and see another doctor. Pain is a sign that something is wrong.

I'm going to put your name on my prayer board; and continue to agree with you for healing.

I know this may violate your faith, but hang onto hope and faith. 2 Corinthians 12:7-10

We ALL go through this.

Keep praising God for strength and guidance; but see the doctor again. Write down your diet, meds you take, over the counter meds too.

God is Love. Mishael
