So Jesus tells his disciples: "Pray the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into his harvest."
Notice this: his first solution to this problem of an urgent, abundant harvest is not "go into the field and get to work"; it's "ask the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers."
Jesus isn't implying that his disciples won't be sent-that God is going to send someone else, so all they have to do is stay comfortable at home and remember to pray. On the contrary. The very next passage will have Jesus sending his disciples out.
But there is an ORDER to things, and a necessary equipping.
The harvest, after all, belongs to God. So it's God who must take the initiative and commission workers, thereby giving them the right to work in his fields in the first place. They need AUTHORITY for this work.
They also need to be EQUIPPED To bring in a physical harvest requires tools: (scythes, threshers, barns) To bring in a spiritual harvest requires tools also, Bible, Chick Tracts. We cannot do this kind of prayer on our own.
So Jesus commands us to pray the Lord of the harvest to do something. There is a general principle here: as someone wiser than me has quipped, "Don't just do something, stand there." And while you stand there-pray.
PRAYER is how we partner with God. It's how we bring heaven to earth. It's how we access his will and his power to get it done.
Prayer should always be our first response when we see a need-not because we aren't willing to roll up our sleeves and help, but because we recognize that we need authority and gifting from God in order to do it.
THANK YOU for your willingness. Streetpreacher
This is what the Bible says about being born again.
"As it is written, 'There is none righteous, no, not one.'" ( Romans 3:10)
"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." ( Romans 3:23)
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." ( Romans 6:23)
"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." ( Romans 5:8)
"For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." ( Romans 10:13)
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.- Romans 10:9-13
God bless you!
Your theory about the protection of the swan, for royalty sake, is a possibility, yet it remains how could the same Hebrew word be used for two different types of animals. I'm sure the translators would have spent much time struggling with what to do/how to translate in such circumstances. Maybe if there was uncertainty at the original manuscript level, then it remains open as to how one chooses to translate the same word for an animal which flies and another that can only creep.
Even a look at Chabad dot org, applying these same Scriptures there, I find different animals used for the three verses (magpie, bat, mole). That being the case & the Jew who is strictly subject to the ruling & finding no problem, I think we should not stress over this one and leave it as an uncertainty. Thanks for your research.
Belive in Jesus Christ and He will deliver you, Amen in Jesus Holy name, i will love u in Christ.
Between slopes and rocks between the sea. Where the sea and the sun merge every night in the summer. In the land of the Midnight Sun. With a short summer where it can still be long. It depends on whether you go out into the fields and have warm clothes on. : D

Jesus loves u, i in Christ
You've been given great answers.
I also believe the oil represents anointing. 1 John 2:27. But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.
We are ready because the Holyspirit seals us. Ephesians 1:13. 2 Corinthians 1:21-22.
In Revelation 1:12-13. the candlesticks mentioned here are oil burning lamp stands. A believer is to be a light to the world and that light should always shine on the one in the midst of the lamp stand. Our lord. Matthew 5:14-16.
Also used symbolically here.
Leviticus 24:2-4.
God bless.
I believe atleast those passages gives us a principle. As Brother Chris said, the age may depend on the maturity and ability to comprehend what is at stake.
Deuteronomy 1:39. Moreover your little ones, which ye said should be a prey, and your children, WHICH IN THAT DAY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I give it, and they shall possess it.
God bless.
Thanks for that great answer.
Blessings.
sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
I John 5:13 -14 kjv: These things have I written unto you that believe on the name
of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life, and
that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God. And this is the
confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according
to his will, he heareth us.
Ephesians 6:24 kjv: Grace be with all them that love our Lord Jesus Christ in
sincerity. Amen.
You quoted 1 Corinthians 13:8-13 and explained it as this implies that there is going to be a second church doctrine not like the early churche's one which, the latter, is not quite the truth. But look at verse 12 "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known." What does the expression "face to face" mean? It means we will see God face to face. So these verses about the perfect to come are meant for the time we will eventually enter Heaven and see God face to face and get to know Him, know about Heavenly things etc, not partly as we know those now. Prophesies, tongues etc will cease, no reason for these to exist any more, but love will remain, it is the only thing from this world which will accompany us in Heaven.
In addition to the above please read how apostle Paul describes the church to Timothy, the church in his time. 1 Timothy 3:14-15 "These things write I unto thee, hoping to come unto thee shortly:But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the PILLAR AND GROUND THE TRUTH." That early church!
Now lets go to that statue in Daniel's book. Please read verses Daniel 2:36-45. It is obvious that talks about the kingdoms/countries that will rule the world untill the Kingdom of God finally comes. Daniel tells the king what is going to happen after him, see verse 29. The statue starts with Nebuchadnezzar's rule and ends with the last kingdom on earth. It goes from Babylon to ... Rome to the country of antichrist omitting the ones in between because those 2000 years are the times of the gentiles.
I still do not get where it states about a second church true doctrine. Paul says that christians in the future will believe what is nice to their ears ( 2 Timothy 4:3-4), which means that false beliefs amongst us in the future are to come/came.
End for now...

There is evidence of Child Sacrifice in the Bible. Using the SEARCH ENGINE on this website: type in Molech or Moloch. Ancient Demon gods, that promoted the sacrificing of newborn babies. Why? For good weather, good crops, or higher payment in sales. It was presided over by "priests."
The bone jars have been discovered and examined by scientists and archaeologists. Carbon dated. Many churches had bone jar gardens still in existence.
The tiny newborns or even toddlers were thrown into a large idol with a burning hot oven in its middle.
Pictures and stories on YouTube; from the people who unearthed the truth about those unusual gardens around the temple churches. I saw a video recently of a fetus screaming in pain as it was being aborted. How was that done??
Then we have to endure the stories of gay couples who have to adopt because their wombs were damaged by multiple abortions,
I have to pray for God to keep me together. I'm banned for life because I commented on YouTube: "Abortion is NOT birth control."
This is the whole of the matter. It's personal. It's a national sin and it's a disgrace.
Jeremiah 1:5 - Before I FORMED THEE in the belly, I KNEW THEE; and before thou came forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.
Psalms 139:13 For thou (GOD) hast possessed my reins: thou (GOD) has covered me in my mother's womb.
Psalms Chapter 127
3 Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.
May we continue to pray for everyone to change their mind (repent) and fight against it and stop being pacifists.
An adherent to pacifism: "someone who opposes war or violence as a means of settling disputes i.e. the attack inflamed the American public and turned isolationists and pacifists into gung-ho patriots."
May we all vote to be patriots for unborn people.
Let's hang on Daniel. Jesus will be here soon.
The Most High Almighty is not a God of confusion. On the other hand man in his carnal state can confuse simple logic and commonsense. There has been reference that Charles Darwin is involved in the evolution theory of lizards evoluting into birds in the early 1860s.
So why was tanshamath injected in verse 18 as being swan then verse 30 as mole when there are two separate categories, flying fowl and creeping things. also, why didnt it say in verse 18 ... swan and after its kind which would then include the duck and geese as they are from the anatidae family. Interesting too is that "owl" is used in verse 17 running into verse 18...In my opinion the barn-owl fits the description of tanshamath in verse 18 as a greater possibility.
Barn owl is the most likely and the Ibis bird is the second other likely bird but definitively not the swan.
Why would swan be chosen? One theory is that the royal family made laws to protect the swan for their own banquet comsumption. I found this on the Royal Family site.
The Crown has held the right to claim ownership of all unmarked mute swans swimming in open waters throughout the country from as far back as the twelfth century. Historically, valuable rights of ownership were subsequently granted by the monarch to many people and organisations as swans were a prized food, served at banquets and feasts.
We know they're stalking us, by their FRUITS. Fear, hath torments (which are evil spirits). Knowledge of the Word of God sets us free. You must be born again as in John 3. If you are born again, you have LEGAL RIGHTS as a child of God.
I'm saying this for the benefit of others who have, or are going through it. Jesus cleans and clears out our physical and spiritual house. The Holy Spirit is inside of us. He teaches the Bible to us; as we read the Bible. We are GARNISHING our spiritual house. If we fail to read the Bible, the armor of God, is UNUSED. Ephesians 6.
MATTHEW 12:43-45 and Matthew 13:3-12
We cannot be invaded again, IF we garnish our spiritual house with scripture.
Matthew 4:
1 Then was Jesus led up of the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted of the DEVIL,
2 And when JESUS had fasted 40 days & 40nights, he was afterward hungry.
3 And when the TEMPTER came to him, he said, If thou be the Son of God, command that these stones be made bread.
We must form a strong resolve to follow Jesus as a disciple. We are fighting off INVISIBLE enemies. Ephesians 6.
I've been praying over this some days. SATAN was an archangel.He was CREATED as like an angel; just bigger and more powerful; in charge of praise and worship of God. He coveted the praise all of the angels gave to God.
Coveting is a sin. He led a rebellion against God. Satan and 1/3 of the angels who followed Satans rebellion, were hurled into the earth.
Most or questions about sin, can be answered by the Ten Commandments, Book of Leviticus and Deuteronomy.
Do the do's, and refuse the dont's. Receive Jesus as Savior, Be baptized. Attend Church. Ask Holy Spirit to teach you.
GARNISH your "house"
See Acts 19:19, you may need to rid your home of "idols".
Please know that I have prayed for both you & Gabby to be reconciled. Maybe this is a time the Lord wants you to go through so that you maybe able to comfort those hurting at a later time. I want to share something with you from Dr. Charles Stanley that I happen to read today. He writes, "Sometimes God allows us to fall into deep valleys and dark pits in order to show us that we are never really in control, but that He always is and that He knows how to rescue us from impossible situations. When trials hit, we can always be sure God will come to our aid. Why? (1) It is His nature - He is the Father of mercies and the God of all comfort. (2) He's training us to comfort others from 2 Corinthians 1:4. Please don't give up on your faith and become discouraged. I know this has been an emotionally trying time for you, but praise God and proclaim His love for yourself. From Isaiah 61:3 "The Lord promises to give you beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness". Hold fast to God's word and promises. He loves you. God bless you Gabriel.
Your sister in Christ.
