It is like all these people were already in my heart, as if i knew about them, as if they always have been, then i have had the experience that they are my siblings, and will never be outside that circle. But i also long to see you all physical faces! Pray with you, read the word together. Have a meal together. And I'm sure in my soul that we'll meet someday. And se what i read among the words today Luke 1:34
Sometimes i meet people who also recognize me. So i think we're already there. But all the earthly things that occupy us. Let us not see these brothers and sisters. When i meet someone, we nod and smile. But I've never really seen the person before. So we have a lesson to experience the kingdom of heaven here on earth, and it is a sanctification so that we really see the heavenly when we look up!
Stay strong in the word and God bless us all, love u in Christ.

God allows separation between light and darkness, right and wrong, righteousness and rebellion, and so forth. A woman with an abusive and rebellious husband is not totally bound to him in ways that prevent her from serving God. She should seek the Lord to give her guidance as to how to serve the Lord acceptably with or without her husband.
If a woman's husband sexually abuses their children, for example, she and her children are under no moral obligation to remain living under the same roof with him. In another example, if a woman's husband drinks or gambles all their money away and they lose their house, their car, and their income, then she is free to go live with her parents alone if God wills that for her. She does not have to live homeless with him and her parents are under no moral obligation to take him into their home if they take her in.
I recommend creationist scientific research publications. Creationist researchers tend to expose the flaws in secular scientists' methods that give them erroneous results.
I got saved like Apostle Paul. I didn't go blind. I was baptized by the Holy Spirit, day one. God protected me with angels because the demons didn't want to leave. But I trusted Jesus and read Bible every spare moment. I lost all my bar-hopping friends. I asked for new friends and I had a whole church of Christians and street preachers to follow around. I just did what they did. My testimony is like the Olympics of sin. I could identify with feeling lost, confused, clueless of how to read a Bible, or find God in this crazy mixed up world.
All I knew is that Jesus came after me and loved me into the Kingdom of God. There were no other options for me. I was head over heels in love with Jesus. It took a couple of years to be healed from various situations. I had a call on my life but I didn't know why Jesus chose me to follow Him. I had to obey and prepare.
I had older mature Christians tell me to get back in nursery school and stop reading "college material". I didn't listen because I would've missed out learning with Jesus.
If you are willing? You knew enough to be saved and walk with the Holy Spirit? Listen for His voice? He's the Voice of the Lord of the Harvest. People are lonely, feel like islands of pain. In despair of living. The ones, Lord of the Harvest picks for you are ready to hear the knock and open the door to Jesus. Smile. You too are chosen. Trust Holy Spirit. Pray.
1 Corinthians 12:1-31 "Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant."
1 Corinthians 14:1-40 "Follow after charity, and desire spiritual gifts, but rather that ye may prophesy."
My opinion on the topic of tithes does not fall in line with that most Christian pastors say.
First I'd have to define tithe- what exactly is being tithed? I believe in the verses in the old testament that talk about tithing included food, cattle, grain. The paper of money in itself is worthless, it only represents a credit towards trading things. I personally believe that one's time and labor have just as much value. Sometimes its more meaningful to personally help someone directly rather than hire someone to do the same thing. Like raking leaves in your grandmother's yard, or helping someone in need find a job.
Next, the 10 percent figure is only in the old testament. The new testament says this for example: 2 Corinthians 9:7. When most speak of tithing they speak of an obligation to fulfill, but here it says don't do that. It specifically says not to do grudgingly or out of necessity, but as he purposeth in his heart. Maybe God doesn't even want us to keep track, but to just give generously as the opportunities present themselves, without guilt or shame for meeting an potentially unnecessary percent figure that isn't discussed in the new testament. To me this means helping people maybe like Jesus did. I don't think you have to have money to help people. It's my opinion that this interpretation is a little closer to the intent behind 2 Cor 9:7.
Finally, I strongly dislike mega churches who pay pastors six figure salaries, have state of the art sound and lighting systems, and they meet once a week for an hour then the building sits vacant 95% of the week. Think of elderly on social security tithing to help a rich pastor get richer and for them to buy more HD projectors, and heat/AC bills for a mostly empty building. That seems wrong to me. It would seem to help people more to give to a charity that is more efficient as found through charity ratings site, or to even better to help a neighbor directly. God bless.
Please also pray for her spiritually, that she would get closer to God and do His will for her life.
Thank you so much
Rehoboam's decision to follow the young princes' advice and not the elders could be partly blamed on his father. But the decision was his and dad wasn't around anymore. As for Jeroboam and Solomon trying to kill him, Jeroboam wasn't anointed, but appointed to be King over Israel and he failed miserably in that role. His wickedness was such that he's referenced multiple times in comparison with the other evil kings (which were all) over Israel.
Ultimately, though, Solomon came back to the Lord prior to his death. I'm not sure of the timeline, but the ending in Ecclesiastes is clear..Fear God and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil. King Saul didn't have that repentent spirit within him when he sought the witch of Endor or fell on the battlefield against the Philistines.
Have a good week.
What you are experiencing is normal. Two ideas: First, read the Word aloud. Then you are hearing God's Word and reading it will help you understand what you are reading better. Remember, when you first learned to read as a child you read the words aloud. It helps you remember what you are reading and focus you on God's truth. Second, keep a pen and paper handy. When something pops into your mind write it down. Then you can take care of that issue later. Hope these ideas help. God Bless you.
Those are the CONIES that the Bible mentions. Because of where they were found, the conies lived underground. They survived and got water from roots of plants.
It's a big deal for scientists and archaeologists to agree on something. Why did God mention the Conies?
There's a whole harvest of atheists out there who need to hear that news. That and the fact that space study satellites have sent back photos of all 9 planets and some of the moons. They saw/see DRY LAKE BEDS. All planets HAD water at some time.
This is verifiable. Just got to do a lot of fancy googling to find these records. What happened to the water? Ask God. He's a master builder and only He has the plans.
I'd get saved (born again) so I could listen to the advent and demise of certain events.
Scientists are carbon dating all kinds of things. To hear them agree on anything is mind boggling. Then you leap with joy. Our God is AWESOME. He did this. He chose now to reveal it.
There's the usual atheist explanations and then you find the ones from the scientists that examine data that is VISUAL!!! Some lie, and some are telling the truth.
Doesn't that sound like "the voice of one crying out in the wilderness of unbelief?? (Reference to John the Baptist)
Let's get off our ergonomic chairs and read of these accounts. Some programs are on PBS. I feel sorry for Stephen Hawkins. I think he wanted to find God, but his body gave out. The community of scientists LIVE OFF grant money. It's hard for them. Someone pray for them to be confronted with indisputable evidence.
Go find those videos. You'll be blessed and energized. The stories are recent. God has me reading on stuff I'm not particularly interested in. Ask PBS to rerun those videos.

It is really sad that your life has turned upside down. BUT there is God.
We often forget that there is an enemy out there, invisible, who never sleeps. He is always trying to find our vulnerable sides to take advantage on us. If we are not careful enough then we may find ourselves trapped in a situation or a passion that we cannot break free. This is what happened to your husband. He surely knows what happens to him but he doesn't have the strength to break free, or even ask God to help him. This is then something for you to do.
How is going God to act? Noone knows.Sometimes He lets people reach their lowest like the prodigal son so to come to their senses and decide to return back. Other times God does something drastic, like when appeared to Saul/Paul in his way to Damascus. It really belongs to God to find the solution to this, we can only ask, trust in and wait.
But for as long as this situation still keeps going on, you must take care of yourself, your health, your mental health. It doesn't take too much for one to go over his limits. Try to accept reality. It's not very useful to keep grieving. It's time to get up and face the situation. See how you are going to handle things. Try to find support, love, compassion from other christians, the ones that encourage you, keep away from the ones that will throw blame to you. It wasn't your fault. Be in companionship with them, don't stay alone, stay busy; all these if possible. Keep going to church. If this is not possible, keep in touch with others on internet. Ask for prayers/fasting with you. Keep relying on God's love, trust in Him. Don't rely on people, we are all weak, you will be disappointed. Ask for support from your family members, friends, local community, anything.
As Adam advised you, stop/limit your husband having access to your money/belongings.
Keep strong, be encouraged. It's time to build your life entirety on God and rely entirely on Him and everything will be OK.
God Bless You.
We People are going to want to kill them because they are fully against any law of one who tells what is coming, on earth. They do not want to obey any of Gods laws.
They will not be able to kill them, until time is up.
What do I do to get the strength from God
It's an act of obedience and your witness to this is the Holy Spirit.
I used to attend my church and give the tithe there. I would give offerings to some ministries I listened to over the radio, because the teachings were extra "meaty" and fed my spirit.
People may disagree with this. Don't email me ok. Tithes and offerings are witnessed by Heaven.
If you are totally blessed at church, there is Wave Offerings (in the Bible). A little wave and a thank you, Jesus. (Modestly). You can even donate your time helping out with some church ministries, like benevolence to the needy (food, coats, etc), or helping in childrens church. Heaven is your witness.
