Please check back in an hour or more. Thank you for your patience!
The doctor told her she has a slipped disk in her neck that is causing constant pain behind her right shoulder. The doctors have only given her pills for the pain and steroids for inflammation. She desperately needs prayer for healing. I told her that I would post this request and she is very appreciative of your prayers on her behalf. Thank you everyone.
I also liked Ronald's statement "We should have a sense of awe and respect for the majesty of God (and simultameously) the Father" Beautiful statement.
But I would also like to add:
1 John 4:16-19
"And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
THERE IS NO FEAR IN LOVE, BUT PERFECT LOVE CASTETH OUT FEAR: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
We love him, because he first loved us."
We don't want yo fear God? Then increase in love (For him and everybody else)

Amen. Everywhere that we see the word candlesticks in the book of Revelation, it's literally the word LUCHNIA, which means lampstand. It's not a candlestick. It is a lampstand. Great analogy, and thanks for sharing those great scriptures!
Of course; there would be individuals who genetically would have scattered throughout the Gentile nations and intermarried who wouldn't know their origins; by and large. The whole concept; it seems to me is that during the Tribulation concurrent with "Jacob's Trouble" His people are delievered out of it ( Jeremiah 30:7). This would bring Israel to a Prophetic fulfillment delivering the "Message of the Kingdom" which was never even completed to all the cities of Israel but will be preached in the End. This would once again put the ethnic Jews in the forefront; the one third who go through and are proven faithful during the refining fire of that seven year trial. This would be a declaratory message of God's victory in real time being started after the Rapture once the judgments are underway. It seems to start sometime before anything in the earth is harmed with the two prophets so there could be a delay from the beginning of the Tribulation for the ministry to begin. These would involve the signs and wonders sort of miracles by Elijah and the second Prophet; and of course is followed by the false miracles of similar appearance by the False Prophet. Final repentance according to Zechariah isn't until they see Christ coming; and all tribes of the earth mourn; Jerusalem is saved before total annihilation and it can be fulfilled that the Temple will be a "house of prayer for all nations" ( Isaiah 56:7). They will once again be a "Theocracy"; regain all their original territory in the Covenant promises and be a blessing for all nations that stream in to worship the true God.
The only other option is to be a universalist; in regard to God "drawing all men unto Himself". Indeed many are called and few chosen; and God allows the wheat to grow up with the tares in the visible body of Christ for the invisible true church to eventually be made evident in time. Of course our natural inclination is to see family and friends; or "nice people" to be converted. We tend to neglect those ministries where a "Damascus road" experience occurs; but those in prison ministry certainly see it quite frequently. Whatever the response OUR message needs to demonstrate agape love for the unloveable. For us to display through a surrendered life the fear and joy of the Lord in the message our life demonstrates along with a trust in the validity of scriptures when speaking to others means that they are reading our lives along with the delivery of the gospel message. Right now; much of the Body of Christ is asleep and needs to wake up-some individuals have been out of regular fellowship a long time and are living compromised lives. Most people have some familiarity with scripture; but are blinded to the truth that Jesus is indeed God in the flesh (not some avatar or New Age like cosmic force); that what they consider humanitarian and loving behavior is still coming from selfish motives of pride if the Spirit of God isn't at work. Our own sin needs to be exposed; and only the Lord can do that. The Spirit convicts of sin; righteousness and judgment
I do not know whose post you are referring to, and I do not need to know. I just wanted to say that the things you said have truly ministered to me this morning. You said, "No matter how hard I try to achieve perfection, I fail." I think every believer should identify with that statement. We oftentimes are busy trying to do the Lord's work when in reality we are incapable of doing His work. How many times in the gospels do we read of situations and circumstances that Jesus put His disciples through, situations that were impossible for them to handle, and what did they do? They tried hard to do things themselves and failed almost every time. I think that was Jesus' whole point. He was teaching them that they could not do it. They thought they could and they tried very hard but came up short.
I used to be that person. I took many years of failing before I learned to give it all to the Lord and let Him work out every tough circumstance that would come up in my life. I was always trying to fix things and solve those tough situations myself. It took a long time to realize that I could not do it. John Chapter 15 (The Vine and the Branches) is probably my favorite chapter in the whole bible. It teaches us what it means to abide in Christ and Christ in us. It teaches us that apart from Him, we can do nothing. We will fail.
Every time I see a picture of a sailboat, it reminds me of being out on the water with my motor running full throttle and I am getting nowhere. It reminds me that I need to turn the motor off, hoist up the sail, and let the wind take me wherever it may. That is how we should all approach the Lord. Turn the motor off, hoist up the sail, and go wherever Jesus takes us.
We have to stop trying to achieve perfection in our own human effort because we will never get there. Jesus Christ is our perfection. He dwells in us, and apart from Him, we cannot do one thing!
It's the working of Satan over hearts in this world through principalities. All the big sins that people see today were practiced at some point thousands of years ago. Same with homosexuality. The family of Lot was so seduced by this that his daughters hearts were corrupted, his wife died to look back regretting moving forward with God and these were big cities. They had so much power that and corruption that God could not find one righteous to spare even though Abraham pleaded if that would be so.
As Christians, it's our duty to speak up against false doctrine and the multitude of sin. On the same token, to be willing to forgive the sinner. Many women who've had an abortion are regretful and feel hopeless (some even having committed suicide out of guilt). We need to let them know that their is mercy in the Blood of Christ and redemption through Him alone.
God bless!
The Love of the Father toward us, is found in knowing Him.
While gazing past the sins evident in the world, you will see that His glory is not far away and can be yours!
Trusting His word , knowing He is always present, is what you will see!
This is the ultimate love for you and me!
"to know Him is to love Him"
That Jesus Christ is His Son whom He sent for the redemption of all man kind!
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes on Him shall not perish but have everlasting life".
"That God sent not His into the world to condemn the world, but the world through Him might be saved"
Repent and be baptized
Such great deception going on, even those we refer to as elect.
Oh Lord, keep my heart, mind and soul firmly planted in you. Let everything else fade away. Your yoke is easy. And even though I am not a bird of the air you love me even more and will provide and protect me. Praise God. To you be all the glory

I know God speaks to you. I would ask for your prayers. You know the prayers of the saints. You know who you are. I have read you comments. Your confidence in the Lord Jesus Christ is known unto God. Your prayers are my delight. Thank you.
I pray for all of you as we have to pray for each other.
Romans 1:11-12
Grace and peace from our God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
.....The kingdom of God is not in meat or drink but in Righteousness and Joy and Pease in the H.G.... Romans 17 : 14
When we speak of the manchild that is gonna rule all nations...we have to remember what Jesus said outta of the mouths of babes and suckling thou has PERFECTED PRAISE...The manchild which is the H.G. is that which is Perfect and is soon to come the woman giving birth to the manchild answers to that which is perfect and is to come when we birth Christ in our hearts from the contents of the book that NEW covenant....The early Church was ordained of God but it was not Perfect...Perfection does not come till the book is opened then the woman goes into birth pains and delivers the manchild the babes the H.G. ...outta of the mouths of babes and suckling thou has PERFECTED PRAISE...Thats y Elijah has to come and turn the hearts of the fathers to the Children...The babes n sucklings that are gonna result from his seed the words of the book....Paul plainly tells us when that which is PERFECT IS COME...That which is done in part will be done away with.
Learn what each piece of the Armor of God, does. We have to ingest into our born again spirit, scriptures that defeat their plans to discourage you. That's what Jesus did to Satan, when He was on the 40 day fast. He countered Satan's attack with the Word; with scriptures.
When He cast evil spirits out of people, we need to re-read all of those incidents. What did Jesus say? That's what we say too. We must know that we have authority to do it. Jesus imparted it to all of His disciples; His followers.
I find it easier to study scriptures in the Bible when it's quiet. We need to re-read the Gospels, Book of Acts__and see how it's done.
Isaiah 14:16-17 says that when we'll see Satan that we will see him as he really is.is this the man?! that made the earth to tremble. I'm not saying he's not hateful. He is. But Jesus defeated him. Stripped the authority from him__and gave it to BELIEVERS. Hallelujah!!
You have the authority; ask the Holy Spirit to give you the names of those evil spirits; you have the power to send them into outer darkness. IN THE NAME of Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus did not leave us to be troubled by those invisible evil spirits. Our Sword in the armor of God, is made bigger by filling ourselves on scripture.
Television and video games are not useful when your house gets invaded by evil spirits. I get attacked too. Anyone doing anything with Jesus, is a target. Fight back. Take authority over your home.
Ok I've had attacks by real gnarly ones. But they gotta leave when you fire some scriptures at them.
As Gods children, we can ask for angelic assist for a time. You will experience the peace return to you. I'm happy for you because truly God has his hand on your life.
Matthew 9:38; John 17:20,21; Acts 26:18; Romans 10:1; 1 Timothy 2:1-4.
No matter how hard i try to achieve perfection, I fail. I have to go to the Cross to get straight. I need Jesus, all the time. If I get silent, He waits. I adore John who wrote 1-2-3 John and Rev.
I will crave His voice and presence forever. Years ago, I asked Jesus if I could stand behind a drape at the marriage supper. I had led a life of aimlessness in sin, 30 years. He helped me remember my life on the farm. I was rescued from death many times, 4-5 yrs old miraculously. He taught me wisdom of nature and natures. I got a washtub and made a habitat perfect for critters I put in it: frogs, horny toads, all kinds of bugs and ants for food; water, leaves for caterpillars and the turtle. I just sat all day watching what they would all do. Somehow I knew Someone was there with me. Interested, comforting, loving. Things started eating other things and disasters ruined my project. I let all the creatures escape or I helped them run away. The day was not a loss. The Lord put something in me that helped me understand this is what the Lord does with us.
He sees everything we do. He truly loves us and is interested in what we do. He is always near to us. We're not alone. I aged and walked away from God for 20 years. He came back to me, Yom Kippur 1985. I saw the Lord. He is beautiful. My life has never been the same as before. 6 months later I was street preaching. I was doing badly. People laughed. I went home, laid my Bible on the table with my head on it, soaked in failure. Then I hear His voice. "Are you through doing it your way?"
I said YES! He anointed me. I worked with other street preachers downtown. In a year I had worn out my Bible. It was all marked up and unreadable. When we work, with the Holy Spirit, in the Harvest_it's miraculous. He gives us the right scriptures for each person. I had 36 years of mostly good memories. I still pray for all the people I led to Jesus. I want to see them in heaven.
