Thank you my fellow believer. I have looked them up. My prayers include Israel visit in the near future. I may attend one of his concert.
Enjoy the kingdom of God.
Romans 14:17
For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.
Genesis 1:26; In the Hebrew manuscript's, man here is adam pronounced aw-dawm meaning human race. Adam here has no Hebrew article (eth=the). All other races were created on the sixth day and placed in their chosen lands, except "the man" of Genesis 2:7. God made fisher's, hunters, says nothing about husbandman as of yet, doesn't come until 8th day. Gen. 2:5 is of 1 specific race-a tiller of the ground Gods chosen people. It is not a recount of Gen. 1:26 (human race). It is impossible to get all the races of the world out of 1 ruddy complexion couple. Cain is not in the Genealogy of Adam Genesis 5:1 for he was not of Adam. Cain's genealogy starts in Genesis 4:17 where he knew his wife in the land of Nod East of Eden from peoples of 6th day creation, an already thriving community that had a better than 1k year start on the man Adam (ruddy complected). From umbilical cord to umbilical cord CHRIST-savior of all would come.
Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
If you are, please join me to pray and fast for the safety of Israel and the fullness of the Gentiles.
Romans 11:25
For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.
Colossians 2:9
For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Colossians 2:10
And ye are complete in him, which is the head of all principality and power:
Grace and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew 6:33 tells us:
But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
Are you born again by the Spirit of God? If not - believe the Gospel, believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, Who died for your/our sins! HalleluJAH!
If you are born again - cast this care on the Lord. Get busy seeking a relationship with Jesus in your personal life and fulfill those things that He has for you to do; as God is first in your life...not just to 'get something' from Him, but because you fear Him, love Him, and want to honor Him - He really does supply the needs.
"I am the Lord your God, you shall have NO other gods before Me." He must be number one in our lives. The Lord deserves to be number one in our lives! Amen!!
Grace to you, in Jesus, Mama..
Ephesians 5:9
(For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness and righteousness and truth;)
Ephesians 5:10
Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord.
Romans 1:18
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
Grace and peace from God the Father in Heaven and the Lord Jesus Christ.
I responded to your similar post, just recently.
Proverbs 29:2,
I believe Jesus behaved the way He did, because He understood His authority. Matthew 7:29, Matthew 21:24,27, Mark 1:27, Matthew 28:18, We likewise should recognize, acknowledge & understand our authority.
1st as children of GOD, Gen. 1:28, John 16:23, John 14:14, James 1:5, Hebrews 4:12-16,
2nd as Citizens, if US Citizen we are The People, the Governing authority, as set forth in each State Constitution & US Constitution.
Hebrews 13:6,
Hopefully these are helpful
.....This Romans 8 : 29 is not about man being glorified but about Christ being predestinated and Glorified and man being a joint heir with Christ....Its Christ that is gonna be the 1st born of many brethren...If ya interpret Romans 8 : 29 as man being GLORIFIED and preordained you are in essence saying that satan is gonna be preordained....Thats how Tulip got started that only a few wd be saved and all the rest wd go to hell....In essence saying that Jesus wd only die for a few..In essence saying that God neva did love the whole world just a few which wd make God a respector of persons...This TULIP doctrine was the result of bible schools ( carnal teaching ) ... Zech 12 : 10 tells us that its Christ that is gona be the 1st born of many brethren.
.....Mankind can only be a Joint HEIR with Christ....Its only Christ and his seed that is gona be multiplied as the stars of heaven Gen 22 : 17 kjv...ALL of mankind carried the stain and the spot of adam which is our old adamic nature that HAS to go thru the baptism of fire and the H.G. As Jesus said every sinner has to have his part in the lake of fire...which is God as our God is a consuming fire that wants to consume mans Evil Adamic nature....Its only the babes n sucklings .
Thank you for your nice reply.
I have always wrestle with the area, as I do with " free will" . In my feeble mind these two concepts tend to oppose each other.
If God, all knowledgeable , all knowing, has predestined ones to be His faithful sons and daughters, then he has predestined others to " hell". Based on this, do we truly have " free will", at least in this area.
By the way, I seriously wrestle with this, and have for many years, it is such a cloudy area for me.
Have a blessed day.
Good conscience, Christ suffered giving us example, trusting GOD not man.
Please refer back to why Jesus suffered = Matthew 12:14, John 7:1, Matthew 12:1-13, because he healed on the Sabbath?
John 7:7 "The world cannot hate you; but me it hateth, because I testify of it, that the works thereof are evil" John 8:44, Matthew 22:29,
Jesus corrected & rebuked the leaders in the religious sects & ignored their contradictory "mandates" even washing of hands.
HE disobeyed those in Governmental authority, because they were corrupt. Matthew 27:12,13,14, John 19:11, obeying GOD ALMIGHTY.
If you're referring to Our GOD Blessed Country USA. This website is global. The USA did not get the religious freedom it has by obedience to oppressive Gov. Please read the US Declaration of Independence & refer back to another scripture, 1Peter 2:14, Our "public servants" have not punished evildoers, but have actually committed Treasonous acts, putting Citizens in danger. We have a Duty given by our GOD to uphold law, order, safety of our people & protecting our freedoms. As Established within that document. Proverbs 31:9,
If you haven't noticed the chaos in the world after the falsified Election of 2020, please look & understand we affect the World for good, when we are strong, stable & blessing & helping other nations.
Let's not forget all of the Old Testament either.
How would Jesus handle these things today? Remember John 2:15 "And when He had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money and overthrew the tables." & Luke 19,
Cali, Gov. Fobid singing in Church Fellowship, GOD says sing, Psalms 98:4, Psalms 33:3,
GOD says Exodus 23:7, Deuteronomy 19:10,13, Deuteronomy 21:9 "So shall thou put away the guilt of innocent blood from among you, when you shall do which is right in the sight of the LORD"
I come boldly to Your throne of grace, and stand in
faith with Q, in Your mighty name. Alleluia.Amen.
If we then look at those aspects of God's Work in Romans 8:29,30, we see firstly, His Foreknowledge (a knowledge of all things past, present & future). Based on that knowledge, He predestined some to become His children (as His Son is & His adopted ones would be - Ephesians 1:5). Then God's Work upon us begins: those predestined are now called to come to Him/drawn to Him - John 6:44. Those whom He has called, God applied to them the outcome of the Cross, i.e. of Justification - the guilty declared not guilty by reason of substitutionary payment made on their behalf. And those so justified, have received glorification - in part now with the indwelling Holy Spirit (the "earnest of our inheritance until the redemption of the purchased possession" - our completed redemption & glorification fitted out for Heaven: Ephesians 1:14).
Then what part "does our faith in Christ Jesus do for us?" Those whom God has predestined, called, & justified, are those who would be blessed with the gift of Faith - Faith that is needed for God's Grace to do its mighty work ( Ephesians 2:8). What then is the Gift of God? It is both His Grace poured out upon us plus the Faith to apprehend it & fully rest in it. One might ask, 'Can such a person drawn of God resist Him?' I would reply with questions: 'Would God even draw one who wouldn't be saved? Would the one being drawn want to resist the Love of God in Christ & the Holy Spirit's Work of Conviction? And, even if barriers were set up by Satan to obstruct the passage of the sinner into eternal life, would not the God Who makes no mistakes, still bear upon the sinner that he might understand the Truth & find that his hope lay in Christ alone?' John 6:37-40 - none of His will be lost.
Sometimes, when we are over-burdened with problems, all that we have to share with another are only our problems & very little else. So your friend might be feeling that all she hears from you are your issues only & sees you in great anxiety or overly depressed because of them. And this might in turn depress her, hence her reaction. In many cases, the person with a huge problem isn't able to think clearly through it (its cause, ways to deal with it, support from others, etc.). That's where 'a friend' needs to be able to really listen & help you work through it & always be there for you. Often, your pastor or Christian counsellor can listen attentively & give good advice & also follow-up. The main thing, is for you to re-gain your peace in heart & mind from the Lord, hang onto Him in both your good & bad times, read His Word, & not give up. He has blessed each one of us with life, life to be lived for Him. So the Author of Life will certainly be with those whose trust rests only in Him. "Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning" ( Psalm 30:5). May the Lord guide you very specially in your concerns & help you live above them, looking for His Arm to work mightily on your behalf.
That is why the Apostle Paul, in his letters, teaches & encourages all to crucify the flesh (to put to death sin that comes from our sinful nature with our "affections & lusts") & to live & walk in the Spirit ( Galatians 5:24,25). Sin is always near our 'door', ready to trip us & entrap us - if we're walking in the Spirit, we will be sensitive to sin & its approach, but being human means that we will also fail at times. Our walk will always be one of warfare - of being ever-conscious of sin's insidious ways to attack us. We have been given the Holy Spirit to make us alert to it & also His Armor to combat the enemy ( Ephesians 6:11-18), but all that is of no use, if we want to give in to sin & partake of its temptations. Yet, in all this, God is ready to forgive us when we slip up & He will restore us when we confess our error & seek to live for Him ( 1 John 1:9).
So even by reading the Bible all day & following the commands of the Lord, we still need to be on the alert because sin is ever ready to rear its ugly head. "Wherefore let him that thinketh he standeth take heed lest he fall" ( 1 Corinthians 10:12), is an ever-present reminder never to think that we've made it to perfection, but to "take heed" - to be careful in every aspect of our lives before God.
Back in 1986, God prevented me from suicide.
I lived another 5 years without knowing Christ as my Savior.
I believe, had I died in 1986, I would been forever lost.
This is a hard question to answer sister, but I believe that God knows who
will come to know Him, through Jesus inviting them, and
this is why I believe what I wrote to you above.
First-century Christians expressed joy when they learned that fellow believers were enduring in their faith. ( 1 Thessalonians 1:2, 3; 3 John 3, 4)
Does it seem reasonable that the Bible would stress faithful endurance if those who did not endure would be saved anyway?
