When should one consider fasting?

Is fasting a tribute or thanks to God or more like an offering or submission to God?

This is very helpful, and has a peace full feeling. Thank you.

Praying for peace for my family. We recently lost my step-mom so now my brother and sister are taking care of my dad. My dad went into depression so my mom moved in with him.

My sister is a very bad alcoholic. She's currently staying at my dad's house and cursing and yelling at my mom and dad. My parents are in their 80s. I'm worried for their safety and health. I feel like the enemy is attacking my family. My sister is the only one causing all this drama with her drinking. She violent and talks very badly to everyone. I'm asking for peace and for God to remove her addition.

Please enlighten us!

Thanks Grae, I was giving commentary on the chapter in Exodus. I was not adding to Scripture. But I understand your comments about those who are new to the site or young in their walk with Jesus. Not everyone can detect nuances in speech and written words to discern when one is musing, giving sage advice as opposed to laying down a law or doctrine to be followed. So, I will take your advice and try to be more distinct in identifying that what I am writing is my viewpoint or is advice.

Lets keep the debate going dear brothers and sisters.

1 Peter 3:20-21

"20 - Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

21 - The like figure whereunto even BAPTISM DOTH ALSO NOW SAVE US (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:"

Any comment on the above verse, please?

There are 76 scriptures that came up with that word in it; each scripture says that word multiple times within the one scripture.

Try out that Search Box on the page you drop into enemy you enter the site. Use the top box all the way at the top of the page. Type in family. Enter.

Searching on a word is awesome sometimes.

Tells me that my Father in heaven knows all families and everything about us. Amen!

JoElle,

When we choose to forgive another person, it can take time to get the hurt and even anger out of our system when we recall what was said of done to us by another person. It helps to make a decision that when you think of them and /or the offense to acknowledge that they sinned against you but remind yourself and that you have forgiven them and pray for them. Also, determining that you will treat them with love, respect, and kindness instead of anger and resentment or payback is a good approach to interacting people who have sinned against you. If the person you are forgiving has a habit of being hurtful, it can be best to limit your interactions with that person or simply replace the relationship with someone who is godly and kind.

I'm saving your post so I can check out some of those sites without having to join.

I think you might have some comfort in subscribing to Nelson Walters. He has videos on YouTube and other sites. I check out all the scriptures he notes/uses.

Your daughter should view some of the videos on YouTube

About MOLOCH or MOLECH. An ancient god that people sacrificed their infants and toddlers to. Most people have no idea what they are doing by killing a child in the womb. I'm 70. Back in the day, women gave birth and put babies up for adoption. Then THE PILL emerged on the scene. Only careless, unable to count pills or get refills on time; got pregnant. Why don't they riot for free birth control pills?

Scar tissue from multiple abortions ruins hopes of ever becoming a mother naturally.

You can come before God and ask Him to help you. To bind up the spirits that are trying to blind her to the truth.

Pray and fast, for her to see the truth. The Bible says truth sets us Free.

When our bodies moan and groan for a piece of food-deny it with the strength of what God said: the TRUTH sets them free. Claim that scripture for your daughter. For blind eyes to be opened; Deaf ears to hear the Truth of God. To make the lies to be revealed to her. To help her desire peace and rest away from the noise of lies.

I've been fasting regularly for months. Your body seems to get used to it as your desire to fight Satan grows stronger. I turn off media to just read the Bible.

Mary and Joseph were betrothed when she became pregnant. People just thought the happy pair couldn't wait for the wedding. Joseph wasn't all in on the explanation he was given by Mary. God had to help out a little. Joseph very much loved Mary and he believed. He had to deliver Jesus because there was no one else to help.

This young couple joined together to bring Immanuel into the world. "God With Us". Tell her the story, not read.

Dear T. Levi

I am not offended by Alex telling me I err greatly. I think the same of him in the view he promoted on this thread. But what does bother me is when one can tell someone they err and then be upset when another says the same of them. We all should be willing to be reproved. And if we think we are not in error, then we should explain why we think we have presented a viewpoint that agrees with Scripture. This is the part of dialoguing and I do want those on this forum to be free to agree and disagree with each other.

What does verse 20 of psalms 34 mean

Revelation 12:3 - And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.

Revelation 12:9 - And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

Revelation 20:2 - And he laid hold on the dragon, that old serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and bound him a thousand years,

There are a lot more dragon scriptures if you use this website SEARCH BOX out on the red entry page. Use the top box.

Also Nelson Walters has some recent videos on the 7-headed Dragon in scripture.

The BLESSON Tribulation Movie has the dragon in it. It's 60 minutes, from Genesis to the Millennium. It moves real fast :D

Ephesians 6, says our enemies (evil spirits aka demons) are INVISIBLE.

We know some of Satan's names is Liar, Destroyer, Angel of light. Google that for a complete list. What you're experiencing is spiritual warfare against THE MIND. It doesn't want us to read the Bible.

Recently I was in a lot of back pain. I need surgery to fix it. I was hurting and then I just got really mad. I serve my Lord. I knew this was an attack!! I started quoting scripture to the room. I turned up my volume: GET OUT, GET OUT GET OUT IN JESUS NAME. Jesus baptized me and gave me HIS POWER AND AUTHORITY to speak in HIS NAME. I said, in Jesus of Nazareth name I bind this evil spirit that lies_and I send it into outer darkness to wander in dry places! "I receive the power of the Holy Spirit of God to come and heal my back." BAM. The pain left. I feel better.

As Christians, Jesus gives us His Authority to speak in His Name and send the devils into outer darkness and dry places and tell them stay there until the Last Day.

Many of us suffer needlessly because we feel like we're speaking to an empty room. Not so! They're invisible, but we FEEL THEIR FRUITS.

Re-read the Gospels and underline how Jesus cast the devils out. (Paul's writings too)

If your mind is racing, that is a fruit. Pray as I did and call it out: you evil spirit of racing mind!! The Bible says I have the Mind of Christ. His mind is Perfect and so is mine. GET OUT OF MY HEAD AND MY HOME

in the Name of Jesus and by the power of His authority. I command you to LEAVE and NEVER RETURN. Go into outer darkness and dry places.

Jesus wants us to be His children and fight these things when necessary. Use His Word, the Bible. His Armor, all of them. Google that if you need to: Armor of God, teaching. Come back here to fellowship, ok?

OK Joe... Thanks for your input Gbu

You might enjoy some Nelson Walters videos on YouTube. He teaches a lot on prophetic subjects now. Have pen & paper to copy down the scriptures Nelson quotes from.

Erick Stackelbeck is a Jewish Christian Reporter who keeps us informed on what is happening in the Middle East countries. We need more people to stay abreast of the "Signs of the Times." As always, we must verify statements against what scripture teaches.

Matthew 24 and Luke 21 is being felt all over the Earth. Look at earth disaster videos online. USA is suffering massive drought. Water supply reservoirs are being drained dry; big cities are facing no water disaster. Hoover Dam is almost dry!

WE ALL NEED TO VERIFY these claims. Don't take my word; go see it yourself.

Like I've been warning those in the East: droughts from California to East Texas, means LESS FARMLAND PRODUCTS. Less Food, Higher Prices. Huge increases on cost to farmers for fertilizer. They can't afford to plant crops without it.

Please, get this next statement. THE GREEN DEAL IS THE ONE WORLD RELIGION, THAT WILL HELP UNITE THE WORLD TO RECEIVE ANTICHRIST. Receive His Mark in exchange for food.

Forget High Food prices and go buy a $60,000. electric car to save on gasoline. Let's stop screams for abortion and start screaming AGAINST FALSE LEADERS IN WASH, DC. who are forcing us to buy what we cannot afford.

Don't take their vaccines either. They're grooming us to take the Mark of the Beast. Order food and water wholesale if storage allows, or rent storage. We may have to live the first part of the Tribulation. After the Rapture it's called THE GREAT TRIBULATION. In essence the soft gloves are removed. "Be mild as a dove, and wise as a serpent."

Vote like you and your loved ones lives depend on it. The issues of abortion are actually human sacrifices to an ancient god named Moloch. He's hiding behind the abortion movement.

AWAKE SLEEPERS. Vote red for more time. It's our last chance to turn this tide. Love.

Isaiah 28: talking of Lucifer (Satan)

13 Thou hast been in EDEN the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold: the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou wast created.

14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of the stones of fire.

15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, UNTIL iniquity was found in thee.

16 By the multitude of thy merchandise they have filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore I will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.

17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

18 Thou hast defiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffick; therefore will I bring forth a fire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee, and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.

COMMENT: Lucifer was the covering Cherub in charge of praise and worship of God. He coveted that praise for himself; and led a rebellion in heaven. He was cast out of Heaven by Michael. Lucifer lost his name. He became Satan. He was not human as I said. Earth was created for HUMANS only. Satan used a serpents body to speak to Eve, and tempt her. His goal was to steal Adams Dominion as a Human. Eve ate the fruit and it was all over. What God gave to Adam, now Satan possessed it; until Jesus shed his blood on the Cross.

Satan didn't have his jewels. His Evil invisible spirit took a snakes body. Eph. 6

There have traditionally been two main camps since midieval times; that of the Calvanists believing in Predestination (along with some other early theologians) and those of the "Arminian" or free will camp. There is no doubt that there is a predetermined path known beforehand by God (and translated predestined as Romans 8:29 states). The debate is to whether it is the individual who is always referred to or the PLAN that is established from eternity for the church in general to conform us into His image. It ends up being a logic sort of argument; basically stating that we are "totally depraved" which is deduced from many verses showing that man is estranged from the womb ( Psalm 58:3); and many other scriptures indicating that since the fall of Adam we are all in the nature of fallen man. It does seem clear that without Divine guidance we are indeed unable to do any good works ( Isaiah 64:6).

We cannot ignore Romans 1 and Psalm 19; two examples that show man deliberately ignoring the obvious design of nature and His Divine attributes. Man has a conscience; but that is already subjective as to our own emotions and will and fallen; and sin hardens it further so that it can become seared ( 1 Tim. 4:2). It is clear whatever school of thought we entertain that God knows who will be saved and who won't be ultimately as He knows all things. Jesus knew His sheep ( John 10:14); but also that Gospel shows that those who are NOT His sheep ( John 10:26). It is pretty clear that God has predetermined all who Christ will die for in that Gospel as well. We really don't get these concepts BEFORE in time and space we come to a state of repentance and new birth (again; things GIVEN by God). We must repent and be held accountable; whether it is for works done apart from grace for nonbelievers; or those done as believers at the Bema Seat Judgment. We also must agree that God is fair; judges impartially; and doesn't rejoice in the death of the wicked. (see Deut 29:29).

I appreciate you pointing that out. It's often misquoted.

God knows the secrets of the heart.

This is what King David does in the two psalms at the close of 2 Samuel. Second Samuel 22 records David's reflections, penned at the outset of his reign as Israel's king.105 The first seven verses of chapter 23 are a second psalm; this one is perhaps David's last psalm. We are told that this inspired reflection at the end of his reign as Israel's king contains some of his last words as Israel's king. Together, these two psalms of David give us his inspired appraisal of the hand of God in his life as the King of Israel, from the outset of that reign to its closing days.

As I have already said -- and as you can see from most translations -- the words of reflection in our text are Hebrew poetry, two psalms if you would. In fact, 2 Samuel 22 is virtually identical with Psalm 18, with very minor variations.

These psalms of David are songs. Second Samuel 22 is actually the longest of David's psalms: 106

In form and content.

God will lead you in the right direction/my prayers are with you

what dose judge the fatherless mean

I read it is the Word that is the seed that we are born again with. Parable of the sower. 1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever. James 1:18 Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures. Water and the Spirit to Nicodemus. Water being the Word.

God wants us to follow His Son, Jesus.

He desires we walk in forgiveness.

We can still love family and friends that are not saved_yet. You, praying on your knees might break the chains that hold them captive. That is true love.

It is probably best if we separate ourselves from drunken parties and etc. Not dress like we used to. You know what I mean?

It's best to witness our change in a smaller get togethers. If they ask you why your face seems to glow? You can tell them Jesus is the reason.

You can invite them to meet you at your church, so you can sit together. Pray to the Lord to touch their hearts with the power of the Holy Spirit.

One person praying for others can be the reason they come to know Jesus. Don't be weary in well doing. Faith goes where angels fear to tread. We have Jesus as our protection. Let your faith get huge, reading the Bible.

We can grow from David the shepherd boy, to David, Giant Killer. His faith was in God__not his ability to throw rocks. God took the rock and it caved-in Goliaths nasal cavities and entered his brain. Instant death. I know that sounds gross.

But David had challenged God, and God sent David to confront Goliath. David only knew that God would go with him. Maybe David was about your age. :)

Dear Stacy, Stopping your addiction is as simple as this: Philippians 4:13 |I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me. Bury yourself in Him, reading and studying and meditating on the Word, praying without ceasing, following His commandments. Take up your cross and say no to your addiction.

God bless and keep you and give you peace.

And He loves you!! :D

Matthew 22:14

For many are called, but few are chosen.

1 Peter 2:9 - But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:

John 15:16 - Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

Doug thanks your for your input...But at the cross when they pierced him out came the blood and the water which is indicative of a birth ...Thats Y Zech. is saying they shall look on me whom they have Pierced etc...Smite the shephard and the sheep will be scattered...Then i will turn my hand to the lil ones...The babes and sucklings that are the result of his Death...When a seed dies it multiplies...Thus our new birth is the result of his death....We cannot be born again without a good seed...But there wd have been no seed had he not died...Jesus told the Greeks unless a seed dies it abides alone...But if it dies it will bring forth much fruit...In that Christ died he will be multiplied as the stars of heaven...Thus we will all be bornagain of an incorruptible seed ..Thus the blood and the water is indicative of a birth....As Zech. says he is our 1st born our only son...They shall look on me whom they have Piecered...thus the blood and the water....

.....But this does not negate what God told Peter...what i have made clean ( by the blood ) do not call common or unclean....By commanding water baptism for the remission of sins....3 times the lord rebuked Peter with that sheet with all the unclean animals which is the Church humanity that was made clean by the blood of the lamb...Not water baptism....That sheet was knit at the 4 corners The Cross the blood is knit in the 4 gospels...That New covenant in his blood....ok GBU

I've got tumor but the hospital is postponing the surgery, let us rebuke this tumor and curse cancer in the mighty Name of Jesus, pray with me so the hospital will speed up the procedures, amen

I just want to add one thought about tithing and offerings.

Your giving is AS UNTO THE LORD JESUS.

Tithes are 10% of your net income. This is for the needs of the local church.

If you are faithful to give this, without complaint; God will help you out some way when you have more month than money:

He may help you get a promotion or a better job. He may give you wisdom how to save money for "long months"; curb impulse spending, or money for entertainments etc.

Offerings are exactly what it means. You give OVER the tithe, out of your need. It is given to your church for repairs or needs. It is given to the church missionaries (those sent to other nations). You can bless a church member who has just lost their job; you can believe God for money for new tires or repairs on your car, etc.

Mark the envelope that this is an offering.

This is money given between you and God. He knows exactly how best to repay you. Some people are healed of diseases. I am not saying that offerings can buy healing. The offering is holy unto God. It's about obedience and faith.

The Principle

Ecclesiastes 11:1 - Cast thy bread upon the waters: [faith in action] for thou shalt find it after many days.

Peter did right by God with water baptisms, water was his prescribed tool. End time Jesus is saying since you people are incorrigible, and your faith is weak as water, that now He will baptize you with fire so you can't sin anymore. Dead men don't sin. Don't forget how God finished off the house of Israel, and the house of Judah with brutal captivities, 721 BC, 604 BC, respectively. God will again temporarily finish us off, forging us through the fire, and for your own good. What you've done to others will be done unto you, and to the double, Revelation 18:6 If it takes 15 Sarmat missiles to defeat you, they will use 30.

Water too will be involved as the Russians have a deadly ocean weapon called Poseidon, which can create a 160 foot tsunami wave, reaching 1,000 miles inland, covering the land with radioactive ocean water, Revelation 12. Mystery Babylon's inhabitants won't understand why they are being attacked, nor will they know where it comes from. I look forward to it, to get it over with, to kill the evil that is us so we can fulfill our destiny.
