    Hi everyone, please pray for my current situation at home. My wife refuses to treat me with respect and she has been in a bad relationship in the past and saw a toxic marriage growing up.. I am very tired. She is constantly accusing me of cheating and refuses to allow me to just relax.. it triggers her "ocd" as well. She seems to have "ocd" about what others do but hardly about what she does. I work a lot and when I am home I'm unable to rest.

    Chris

    I work with the Word of GOD, and I have already answered your questions several times.

    I work with the Word of GOD, the Word is GOD Himself, don't you understand? Two thousand years ago the Word Himself was made flesh by the NAME of JESUS, yes, by the NAME of JESUS, as He promised to His people through the prophets- Hebrews 1:1-3, as I have said in answering your questions. But you are masked by a pretense, and you pretend have not seen, your lack of interest in the Word of GOD reveals who really dominates your life.

    I reapeat. I work with the Word of GOD, the Word is GOD Himself, don't you understand? Why do you not understand my speech? It's because you are unable to hear the true and pure Word of Truth. Your lack of interest in the Word of GOD reveals who dominates you your life.

    I repeat. I work with the Word of GOD, and I have already answered your questions several times, but not according your evil and disguised spirit, for the Word of GOD -the Word is GOD Himself- recommends saying: Answer not a fool according to his folly, lest you also be like unto him-Prov.26:4. And the Word states that "when the fool speaks pleasantly, believe him not / don't trust him: for there are SEVEN abominations in his heart. And my Lord JESUS clearly revealed, saying: Luke 11:23-24 and 26:

    23 He that is not with me is against me: and he that gathereth not with me scattereth.

    24 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out.

    26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him SEVEN other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.

    Furthemore, my Lord JESUS left very clear, saying: John 12:47-48:

    If any man hear my words, and believe not, I Judge him not: for I came not to Judge the world, but to save the world. But already hath one that Judgeth him:...

    John10:11-13 "Wolf is coming, wolf is coming"

    Before we examine the middle section of this discourse, we have had the sheepfold covering both worlds of the Spirit and of the body.It was set as a parable.'This parable spake Jesus unto them'(v.6)

    Here we have Jesus as "I am the life" and he presents life abundant, "I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." In the previous post "Not by the door" the conflict of the shepherd with the thieves robbers owe to the war in heaven so St Paul warns,"And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light../Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works." (2 Co.11:14-15)Gnosticism was already at work along with Judaizers in the early church and the message to the church of Philadelphia carried warnings. "I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth." (Re.3:10). According to Min-Max mode of narrating the Spirit sets the hour of temptation, coming from Imperial Rome.It also overarches to the great tribulation of latter days. When Jesus was taken in he told his captors, "but this is your hour, and the power of darkness." ( Luke 22:53)

    It is to this hour we are coming. The wolves were about. "But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, seeth the wolf coming, and leaveth the sheep, and fleeth: and the wolf catcheth them, and scattereth the sheep."(10:12) Historically the open door that Jesus set for the church did not drew the sheep to Jesus Christ but to embrace the pagan Rome entirely. The hireling come under many labels, let the sheep scatter. So when Constantine I called the council of Nicea he organized the Council along the lines of the Roman Senate. His foremost concern was to keep his empire from splitting than the correct doctrine.

    John 10:1-4 "Not by the door" (2 of 2)

    Pride of Satan will not allow him to be one among many." I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High." He would usurp the place of the Son himself. God made angels spirit so technically a son of God. The angelic revolt in heaven to create an alternate narrative to the Salvation Plan as we may surmise from this verse, "That the sons of God saw the daughters of men that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose."(Ge.6:2) Without the simplicity of obedience how ludicrous was their plan to create a 'holy' family?. This also throws some light on the separation of light from the darkness. (Ge.1:4)

    "Shall go in and out" When Jesus Christ is the door sheep may go in and out. "I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture." Going in and out can be understood at two levels. God gave the revelation of his Son "and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John.". The angel belongs to the sheepfold in the world of the Spirit. Similarly "And Satan stood up against Israel, and provoked David to number Israel."(1 Chr.21:1) Hence this warning from St Paul,(Gal.1:8)

    Our struggle is with spiritual wickedness in high places, refers to the world of the Spirit, "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." Full armor of God refers the one sheepfold in which we have rested from our own labors and are hid in Christ. So our battles are fought in the world of the Spirit. This also explains why Jesus instructed his disciples, "and he that hath no sword, let him sell his garment, and buy one".( Luke 22:36). "Thy rod and thy staff they comfort me" speaks for one world. The sword is badge of an overcomer in the world of the Spirit.

    John 10:1-4 "Not by the door" (1 of 2)

    "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber."

    Jesus emphasizes here and he refers to the devil explicitly. How did he beguile Eve but through subtility and through the serpent? 2 Co.11:3. In the passage Jesus refers to the sheepfold which has only one door. This discourse is with reference to the world of the Spirit so a natural pastoral setting is also giving its spiritual underpinning. So God has called whosoever shall be adopted into the fellowship of God with Man, and collectively they make up one sheepfold which can be called witnesses. Cloud of witnesses and sheepfold in short refers to the divine Will of God. So Jesus as the Word become flesh refers to them as the sheep entrusted them with him. "My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand.:(10:29)

    From Re.12:4 the red dragon, "And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth." . So when Jesus says "Many are called, but few are chosen we may get an idea as to how subtle the devil is in upsetting the Salvation Plan of God. (Matt.22:14) St Paul's fear was for the saints who were called and given an example in the Son,"so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ," is in particular about the doctrinal purity the church is able to uphold. In their failure it has serious effect upon the world of the Spirit. This is how we ought to view Christian Living.

    Conversely we have an event, building of the tower of Babel, which for instance is the replay of the angelic revolt in heaven. "For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God:"(Is.14:13-15) Purity or simplicity that is in Christ said,"Lo I come to do thy will," On the other hand Satan challenges,"I will."

    Hi RicoUS, yes, I'm pnovello, Patricia. Thank you for your prayers.

    Monique was diagnosed in September 26, 2023, as having colon cancer that spread to her liver and lungs. She also had 11 lesions in her brain.

    She had been healthy her entire life, no drugs, no drinking, no smokingso how did she get cancer? We don't know. I don't think anyone does.

    Yes, I agree, Jesus is coming real, real soon. I am ready.

    God bless you too my brother in Christ.

    Ps.23:4 "Shadow of Death" (2 of 2)

    Force of the everlasting covenant is the Law of the Spirit so everlasting gospel to destroy the works of the devil who sins from the beginning. Everlasting gospel is to be understood as part of the works Jesus is entrusted to finish. In John 4:34-38 we have two groups one who soweth and the other reapeth. "I sent you to reap that whereon ye bestowed no labour: other men laboured, and ye are entered into their labours." (4:38) Who is the Sower? In the Parable of the Tares we have the answer.

    "He that soweth the good seed is the Son of man;/The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one;/The enemy that sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the world; and the reapers are the angels."(Matt.13:37-39) We cannot handle the word of God arbitrarily but give equal weight to them as essential for Christian Living. We are in the presence of enemies, from both worlds.

    We can equally speak of our witnesses in the World of the Spirit to which Jesus referred, "Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?"(Matt.26:53) They mirror in tandem with events on earth. Jacob at Mahanaim is a clear example. Angels met him before God would bless him."And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day." (Ge.32:24) As the heir of promise came to a fateful encounter with his estranged brother it was God's way of bucking him. "And when Jacob saw them, he said, This is God's host."Similarly God reveals his power and glory to the heirs of promise. It is same what we read in Re.3:20. " Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me."

    "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over."
  • Bennymkje - 11 months ago
    Ps.23:3 "Shadow of death" (1 of 2)

    "Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death"

    'Yea' or Amen we speak while the Good Shepherd leads us in the paths of righteousness and it requires some explanation. These paths cover both heaven and the earth."Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. My flesh and my heart faileth: But God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever."(Ps.73:25-26) 'My portion for ever' speaks of our inheritance in Jesus Christ, who promises,"I go to prepare a place for you"( John 14:2). The valley speaks of the only way which is set before us. So when Jesus tell the seven churches we are shown a door connecting another. Re.3:20 In the following chapter, we read,"After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven."(Re.4:1). Our heart is a spiritual space and we under the shadow of the Almighty whether we knew it or not. But the Word of God stands sure,"He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty."(Ps.91:1)

    On this basis what death are we referring to? "The slain Lamb before the foundation of the world" is the emblem to declare the everlasting covenant so what we see in the Abstract set down in' seven days' gives us how we have been blessed in the Son. In the divine Will we have been called and blessed and from His standpoint the cloud of witnesses belong to the world of the Spirit. For God is a Spirit. Thus God wills a separation in Ge.1:3-4 and it was so. "And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness." This separation must be explained in the light of the covenant, is it not?

    'There was war in heaven' and consequences spill over to the earth as well.(Re.12:7-8)

    Before we take up v.5 "Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies" we need a little room to discuss the two contrary laws which have given rise to the presence of 'mine enemies'.

    Hi Momsage.

    I was not meaning that you have sinned in the ways I mentioned.

    I do not think of myself as one who is defeated by sin and the sinful nature that still exists in me. I know that the Holy Spirit in me helps me to say no to sin when it tempts me. But I cannot say that I am 100% sinless as you seem to think that you are. This does not mean that I take sin lightly or give in readily. I don't to either of these. I believe we are being sanctified in an ongoing way, yet, like Paul does say, that we are in a fight against the sinful nature in us. (He calls it the "flesh"). Romans 7 shows us how Paul, as a believer, fights against the grip of sin-in his heart and soul, he desires to obey God, yet in his sinful nature (the "flesh")- not speaking of our actual cellular, material flesh, but the sin nature-causes him to do what he ought not do. And in 1 Corinthians 9 he speaks of fighting on so that he may not be cast away in the end.

    I know we differ in this doctrine, You believe in complete sanctification (holiness, sinlessness) as taught by Wesley and holiness groups. I do not believe we reach this state in this life. The more obedient we are to God and the more we desire to live for Him in godly ways, the more aware we are of how we miss the mark of complete holiness that Jesus had in His human nature. For me, to say that one has reached complete sinless perfection is to say that one is completely holy like Jesus. That is a pretty audacious way to view oneself. I can honestly say that I do not always love as I ought to in every aspects of my life and relationships. I cannot speak for you. It is between you and the God we serve whether we are perfect as God is perfect in this life. We do have the righteousness of Christ imputed to us that justifies us before God, but from what I read in the Word, we still need Jesus to mediate between us and the Father as long as we are alive in this life.

    Hi Patricia (aka Pnovello?),

    I'm so so sorry to hear about your loss. I'm praying this verse from Isaiah 66:13 for you: "As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you;" What a comfort to know your daughter is with Jesus right now though but of course the pain must still be excruciating for you I'm sure. I will keep you in my prayers. You know what Patricia, I firmly believe we will soon join your daughter and I do believe it will be much sooner than most people realize. I believe the Lord's return is extremely close.

    May the Lord bless and keep you.

    And Amen to your prayer.

    Part 1

    Hi GiGi: In this quote from your reply to me you have hit the nail right on the head with what you said at the very end which I highlighted.

    "Good afternoon, Momsage, I am one who thinks that faults and propensities in our personalities and character can be considered sinful. If one has a quick temper, is easily provoked, unwilling to forgive offenses, is self-seeking, envies, prideful, thinks evil thoughts, or any number of "faults' or "weaknesses" one is sinning with these faults/weaknesses when we give in and let them be expressed." What you have listed, despite what you believe, are not faults, they are sins. The American Heritage Dictionary defines fault/weakness (these are the same thing) as minor character flaws. There is nothing minor about sin. Do you think the wages God promised us if we are sinning don't count because you believe in the sinning/christian doctrine: that you can't help behaving this way because of your human nature?
  • Momsage - 11 months ago
    Part 2

    This is so wrong and dangerous. You assume that I am just as guilty of the sins you listed because you are. I am not. There is no sin in my life or on my soul and that isn't bragging, it's a testimony to the wonderful power of Jesus' divine blood that washed away my sins, sanctified me (killed the old man, human nature) and the keeping power of the Holy Spirit.

    I heard the truth of Jesus Christ and His wonderful salvation in 1970. I sincerely believed in it and repented and gave my heart to Him completely and I became a true believer. Since that time, I did backslide, but God kept after me, took me back after I did my first fruits over again and now my life is totally dedicated to Him and I live without sin because I don't want to sin and don't believe "I have to sin a little bit every day." This belief makes no sense, it is an oxymoron: a combination of contradictory or incongruous words. Merriam-Webster Dictionary.

    How sad that you and others who believe the precious, divine blood and the incredible power of the Holy Spirit is not good enough to overcome your human nature, that you have to struggle every day with sin, I perceive you are not talking about the temptation to sin or you wouldn't be calling yourself a sinner.
  • Momsage - 11 months ago
    Part 3

    The whole reason you are still struggling with these sins is because you don't believe you can get them completely, totally out of your life. You can, if you believe in the sanctifying blood of Jesus and the strength of the Holy Spirit. We are also sanctified so that our human nature to sin is under the blood and it is eradicated. It has no more power over us as long as we give over to God during temptation and have faith that in Him that we will be able to overcome the temptation so we don't HAVE to sin, not so we CAN sin with impunity because we "can't" help it. This is so wrong. Why wouldn't you want to stop struggling with these sins and eradicate them form your life completely?

    Here are some scriptures that tell this truth to us by God Himself:

    Ephesians 4:22

    "If so be that ye have heard him, and have been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus: That ye PUT OFF concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; And that ye PUT ON THE NEW MAN, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. (emphasis' are mine)

    Romans 6:6 "Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin."

    Romans 6: 12-14

    "Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts.
  • Momsage - In Reply on Psalms 51 - 11 months ago
    What an unhappy life; always struggling with sin. What if you die suddenly in your sin and don't have time to ask for forgiveness? Jesus said the wages of sin is death. An eternity in hell, away from His Prescence forever in unimaginable torture. Does your soul end up there or does God somehow wave the sin away because He knew you would have repented if you would have had the chance. He realized He should have given you a little longer to live so you could do this, therefore since it's kind of His fault He wipes the sin away and lets you into heaven. This is nonsensical, of course, because the simple truth is if a soul dies in sin their wages are death.

    Sinning/Christian - an oxymoron: (a combination of contradictory or incongruous words. Merriam-Webster Dictionary.)

    and also nonsensical when compared to scripture. God Bless :)

    It appears Oseas, that you are not prepared to answer my questions but feel moved to continue with your repetitive rant. I guess you have your agenda. So consider this discussion ended, from me anyway, unless you wish to provide me those answers, instead of beliefs from anti-scriptural sources. Thank you for your time.
