Always keep GOD is commands

it is such a great joy reading replies! Praise the Lord!

Minnie, to your questions:

a. Deuteronomy 7:6-8 gives us the most concise & beautiful answer to your question on the "Jews being God's chosen". Simply, because He loved this people (Israel) & would abide with the oath made to their forefathers. In theological terms, we call this "Election". Their lineage (as for all of us) started with Adam & Eve, then after the Flood (i.e. the Anger of God) destroyed the Earth, except for Noah & his family plus animals, the children of Noah then repopulated the Earth. One of his sons, Shem, was the father of many, many others & from one of those, Abraham came & you can follow the story from there to Jacob (Israel). As well, the Jews (Israel) didn't "hate God's teaching", but certainly, they were unfaithful to God many times during their ancestry, even to the point of rejection of God's Messiah, putting Him to the Cross.

b. Only those who have been washed from their sins through the merits of Jesus death on the Cross will "hear the Trumpet call". So this includes both Jews & Gentiles who have been saved through faith & not by obedience to the Law.

c. If you mean 'water baptized' then Scripture tells us that water baptism is symbolic (just as the Lord' Supper) to outwardly show what has taken place inwardly in a person. So, baptism gives the new believer the testimony of obedience & a clear conscience of God's Work in them ( 1 Pet 3:20,21). But if you mean "if people refuse to, or can't be baptized", then one would need to find out the reasons.

d. Mt 7:21-23: Even those who claim to have done mighty things in Jesus' Name can be rejected from Heaven, only those who do the Father's Will, will enter it. In other words, there are many being very busy in good works, maybe trying to get God's Approval, but haven't been saved. And what is the Father's Will? That we repent of our sins because of Jesus' Sacrifice for us, be born again of His Spirit, & living a Christ-centred life. These are the children of the Kingdom.

I just checked on YouTube, that has Alexander Scourby reading King James Version scripture.

What a wonderful way to relax and listen to the Word of God.

Praise God In Jesus Christ

Amen.

I've always loved this text from the very first time I discovered it. Somehow, because of not having constant Bible studies, I forgot what it says exactly. Today, a certain preacher quoted it in his presentation. The reference on the screen was wrong, so it prompted me to look for it. When I found it, I fell in love with it once again and I asked God to help me grow an interest in personal and meaningful Bible study.

At least some christians and probably many believe that when they are sick; it is just a matter of asking God for a healing; and many expect it and some expect it, immediately; and God can do it; He has done that, many times and so did Jesus; but that did not stop the world from sinning. Jesus was crucified. So; we sin; get sick and all we have to do is asked to be healed; and If God did that every time and all the time; we would not need Doctors; but the world would still sin. So, is God still suppose to do it simply because we ask? That is up to Him; but I know I wouldn't unless I had the power; and no one has that power unless God gives it; and the healing is in His name.

Praise God! first and fore most I would like to appreciate all of us who actively participated in every comments we have been going through. Mind you, for those who have taken this page for granted the bible says in the book of Ecclesiastes 12:14 that" For God will bring every deed into judgment,with every secret thing, whether good or evil" and we should give account of each and every we deed to fellows or the Holy spirit! God bless you all in Jesus' name.

God has change my life so much and I am thankful for that

A simple prayer:

Abba Father, bless everyone here today, meet every need. If some are sick, heal them, discouraged and downhearted, lift them up and help us to be all that You created us to be, whole in You, and united in Christ, and full of the Holy Spirit in all knowledge of You, and strengthen us in these evil days to stand tall, fully equip for You have called us to do, in Jesus Name I pray amen.

I love the KJV Bible expecially this site. This translation is the most legit translation!

The KJV seems the most well translated where the other translations put a negative connotation on having many friends. If it were a time or place where we were so blessed to be around many Christian hearted people dedicated to loving God above the things of this earth then that time and place of friends to share life in a community, a larger group that works together and supports one another all trying to love one another more than oneself would be like heaven. And surely within a community of friends there are those that grow close filled with admiration for one another and sheer enjoyment of the other persons kindness in your life that you then also would give freely of your life to make theirs better also sharing the companionship of loving God together between families if at that point, serving the community together for God and always just having that one, or two or three people there that rejoice equally in each other's happiness and gifts shared to make life better as seems easy and without much work. Sharing common desire of direction of life to seek he after the Lord th God and follow where God leads is an exciting prospect of the Holy Spirit and promise of the future in Heaven thst one day we won't just have one we are lucky to have here on earth but that we look forward to many understanding we are truly family under God as his children and meant to enjoy living, life serving all under God. I wish we truly could remove the false traditions of men that Satan planted to keep us separated and fearful of one another. Not to mention thousands of lies about the truth of God so easy to read to a good bible and good teacher until we become also teachers. I've finally reached a level of wisdom and experience that teaching & continued learning makes my spirit jump for joy and excitement to serve now in this end times for God, our Father. I pray we seek one another in friendship for this time now as God commanded likely for strength, blessing and peace of mind

In Jesus I live and Trust GOD

Love

Please pray for me like others in this time of the corona virus I know God is in control but I still get anxious and worry I am trying to read his word everyday I also believed I have grieved the holy spirit because there were times I didn't read my bible and pray sometime I wonder if God still here's my prayers I did accept Christ as my savior many years ago at age 10 but have always walked with or trusted I did a lot of repenting a couple of days ago j know I cannot lose my salvation but I can lose the joy of my salvation thanks for the prayers

I will always trust in the Lord, some time we get weary and go to the world thinking it can help me. Yes every one get side track before we realize that it the Lord that I trust and he will deliver me not man. Put your trust in the Lord, man will fail you. God is the one that can give you life or take it away. Trust the Lord,he is the only one that can put you in heaven or he. Fear the Lord and do his will. In reference to Jeremiah 17

I grew up poor, but I can only remember going to bed hungry once as a child. My income right now is below the poverty line. However, considered poor by the world's standards, I am extremely wealthy! I have a relationship with with Jehovah, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I have peace, love, joy, happiness and get to feel the presence of God daily. Jesus died on the Cross for me and loves me unconditionally. I am grateful for all I have. My health, my children, my fur babies, a roof over my head, the lists goes on and on! I am the wealthy one, I am the wealthy one indeed!

Praise the Lord give Him thanksgiving always, trust in him and do not be silent for His sake, we see what politicians are trying to do, take our freedoms maybe it's time we look up and do right for the Lord, vote them out

This is one of my most lovely portions of the bible because the psalmist is giving us a wholesome assurance about FAITH IN GOD.

God is closer to us more than the air we breathe. We need Him to sit down, stand up, eat, speak, comb our hair, laugh, smile, cry, blink our eyes, walk, we need God to do everything. In Him we live, work and have our being.

We can only achieve this by praying every time in our hearts. This is referred to as SPIRIT PRAYER (Meditation),, and without holding on to any offence in our hearts (free spirit) , forgiveness - forgiving others of their wrong doings. Then we shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

Knowing God is a thing of the heart (spirit).

Thank you Jesus Christ.

To whoever is upset about not being able to pray to there lost loved ones ,or talk to them. Be happy that the Bible is here for us and it is very True and when it says the dead no nothing, the dead no nothing!!! I lost my mom when I was 29 a day before my bday so I can relate how it may be saddening to learn this , but you have to believe it so if you believe. Be glad you have Jesus to talk to he will get you to God! Amen

this is probably one of the best chapters in proverbs as well as in the Bible it really helped me with a problem i have been dealing with im not gonna say of course but please read this chapter and enjoy it

I love it! because I know the Lord, God, or Jehovah, for myself. I don't care what his name should be called. I love the Lord. He saved me from myself three years ago. I was a backslider, years and years had passed. I didn't have a will to get right, not even wanting to do right. I loved God as a young child. I gave my life to him when I was only 11 years of age. When I turned 14 years old, I went a stray. My own mother was not able to reach me. Just three years ago June 13, 2017 I took ill, I thought I was going to die. Then as I fell on my knees and started praying, I called out Lord help me. He did just that. It didn't matter what name I called him by. He saved me! and forgave me. Amen

The Spirit of God is the Spirit of the LORD, the Spirit of Wisdom and Understanding, the Spirit of Counsel and Might, the Spirit of Knowledge and Of The Fear of the LORD.

Praise God, Thank You!

What a great testimony, Robert. God's Spirit has truly revived & refreshed you through your difficult time & will be your delight & portion in the days ahead. 2 Cor 1:2-4: may the Grace you have received through your trials be the means whereby others may also be comforted & restored.

REJOICE IN THE LORD ALWAYS, AGAIN I SAY REJOICE! This chapter of the prophet Isaiah lifted my soul today. I have lived with much physical pain the last twenty years, but the older I get the more excited I am for the Kingdom of God. What an exciting time it will be my brothers and sisters. The fear of the LORD is the most powerful thing in this life. It is well with my soul. Thank you Holy Spirit as you continue my journey.

Thank lord I do believe you saved my life today. I will be stronger I will love and find my new way.

Love Psalm 150 especially verse 6 Let everything that hath breath Praise the Lord Praise Ye the Lord. I praise our Lord Jesus regularly holding hands to heaven thanking him over and over especially for my life his grace and especially for John 3:16

We have to give everything to God in prayer, no matter what it is . Stop holding on to things you can't control . God is the strong tower, he is our refuge; God said in the word that if you have faith of a mustard seed you can move a mountian. Trust in the lord;he is the only one that can stop from falling.

Jesus is coming soon! He is Lord and God who will someday come to judge the living and the dead.

Thanks, reading these words always gives me inspiration and hope.

Doris, I can't think of any other Scripture than Psalm 91 that provides such assurance & comfort when one is going through deep & dark valleys. I have a dear elderly friend, also Doris by name, so I feel compelled to write, who is now confined in a nursing home, going blind & with alzheimers. She loves the Lord dearly, as you do, and hangs onto Him so tightly, that her present sufferings, though very real, are but just a passing aberration. As apostle Paul said, "For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the Glory which shall be revealed in us" ( Rom 8:18) and Peter ( 1 Pet 4:13). So be assured that the serious medical issue you're going through is not just known by those about you, but by the God of Love & Healing. He is Yahweh-Ropheka: I AM the LORD Who Heals ( Ex 15:26). Keep your gaze upon Him, soak yourself in His Love, enjoy His Glorious Presence through the Word & prayer. He is mindful of you & we will lift you up before His Throne.
