    Hey Canderson1611,

    You and Richard may already know this but just to add this little bit to the conversation on the wheat and the tares. A tare is a plant named bearded darnel plant (Lolium temulentum) it is wheat's evil twin, and it is poisonous, and in small amounts, it is intoxicating. It cannot be identified until the head with the grains appears which is purple. Only at the harvest, they can be known when the angels are sent to sort them out.

    God bless,

    Hi Anonymous Anonymous,

    Your prayer request is a beautiful prayer within itself. In the Name of Jesus Christ, I pray in agreement with your prayer request. God's Will be done. Amen.

    AA,

    I noticed your request did not contain petition to God for specific material things, indicating you are seeking His Will and not your own; leaving room for Him. What you leave as vacant, God will fill. And where He is, there must Truth abide! Your faith joyously

    stirs my soul.

    Peace

    GOD IS

    PS

    I read your post once more before I submitted this reply. What a blessing. Tears of joy. Thank you . And thank you Father for Your Perfect Love and blessings we are about to receive.

    Richard, I 99.9% agree with you, with a few nuances While I agree that a true believer won't become an atheist, agnostic, Muslim, etc. the Bible assures us that "If we believe not, yet he abideth faithful: he cannot deny himself." ( 2 Tim. 2:13). Solomon is an example of someone whose heart was turned from the Lord late in in life, to the point where he worshipped the false gods of the pagan women he took to wife. Salvation is a one and done - "Believe on the Lord Jesus and thou shalt be saved" ( Acts 16:13), "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." ( Rom. 10:9). Jesus said "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." ( John 3:3); born again, once. When we are saved, our spirit is sanctified; bearing fruit depends on whether we walk in the spirit or in the flesh.

    I agree 100% that God is the one who preserves us, we are to be confident that "he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ." ( Phil. 1:6), and we are "kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time." ( 1 Pet. 1:5). Our faith saves us (obviously by what Jesus has done for us); the power of God keeps us saved, if we truly believe ( Acts 8:37).

    I also agree - not all the wheat and tares are evident, which is why the Lord said to leave them and let them grow together. However, I can assure you, there are many tares that look like wheat, and some wheat that look like tares. True believers can become backslidden, and in some cases, severely backslidden to the point where their life produces no fruit, being saved, "yet as so by fire" ( 1 Cor. 3:15). But, any "believer" who completely abandons the faith simply demonstrates that they were never saved to begin with ( 1 Jn. 2:19).

    Hi Billanier,

    I'm going from memory here. I anticipate and welcome someone with better understanding will satisfy your inquiry on this interesting topic.

    I believe Melchizedek is mentioned in just one book of the New Testament; Hebrews. He was King of Salem which means King of Peace, and King of righteousness. He is first mentioned in, I think Genesis. He had no known lineage, nor record of His beginning or end. I believe it is accepted in Orthodox Christian thinking , that He was Jesus, the High Priest (not high on drugs). Even Abraham (I think) tithed to Him.

    Peace

    GOD IS

    Needing breakthrough prayer in a few areas:

    1. Please pray God confirm his will and direct my steps as far as my work and living situation and that His hand be with me in these areas. Pray God keep me from all distress. Pray God help me to trust him, keep his living Word and walk in obedience and faith. Pray God open the doors he wants me to walk through and to make good choices. Pray God pour out his Holy Spirit on us all like a flood, but that God also take me by my right hand and lead me, take good care of me and make a good way for me. Pray God surround me with and keep me within his loving kindness.

    2. Please pray God fulfill his purposes for me and my life and for two other friends who are also on my heart and need the same prayer. Pray God move in power to remove any hindrance or mountain in the way of his will in fulfilling his purposes. Pray for complete healing of my womb and that all fear be cast out with God's perfect love. Pray God remove every bitter root, remove all the deceptions of the enemy, teach us not to quench his Spirit, and that the Holy Spirit take over. Pray God be the author of our stories and not the devil. Pray to love God, for prayerful, thankful, worshipful hearts and a thirst for God's Word for us all.

    3. Pray for God's abundant blessing, grace and favor throughout the new year for me and my family/loved ones and that all be saved and not even one be lost. Pray for revelation, miracles and wonders from God.

    For me , love is when someone else's health , happiness and wellbeing mean more to you than your own . When I look at the people that I truly love , I know I would give anything to ensure their health, happiness and wellbeing , even down to my own life if necessary . In all honesty there aren't a lot of people that I feel that way about . We can thank God for His love towards us in that He gave His only begotten precious Son to be the perfect sacrifice for our sins , and we can thank Jesus that he put ALL of our health , happiness and wellbeing , before his own . He did that for millions of people , I only feel that way about a handful . Thanks be to God for his awesome love and thanks be to God for Jesus love .
  • Sammi - In Reply - 3 years ago
    I wouldn't let that sort of thing worry you too much. God knows your heart and your journey to His Kingdom can be a bumpy one but you can be sure , if you are His , then He has you in the palm of His hand and you are His forever . He is One Lord and He will keep you , nothing can stop His love for you , stay strong in Him and don't allow any doubts to creep in and cause you to fear or feel insecure in His redemption of you . You are His and He is yours , be assured ! And be happy .

    That's great news , very pleased for him . Sometimes , I type my prayer out and post it , other times I don't . When I do , I do so because i get the feeling that the person I'm praying for will appreciate to know what prayer is being said on their behalf and that it mmight bring them some comfort . Other times I don't get the feeling so I don't post them , I just say them . Either way , know for sure that your posts are read and people do say prayers with or without posting them . May God continue to show you all His wonderful lovingkindness es .

  • T Levis - In Reply on Ecclesiasticus 32 - 3 years ago
    I understand this as do what you will do,

    Then notice it says Ecclesiasticus 32:7-18, is in context, also saying " do not sin by proud speech"

    Doesn't that point to another scripture Ecclesiastes 9:10, Deuteronomy 8:18,

    it's GOD that gives us abilities

    Interesting. Thanks for the study.

    I also found it's used with the HOLY Spirit in Old Testament in Isaiah 63:10, Holy: translation as ( qodesh )

    with searching site word search & then referenced Strongs Exhaustive Concordance on site.

    & Isaiah 11:12 as And the Spirit, of the LORD (Yhovah) transliteration (Yhvh)

    Spirit (ruwach) used 3 times in same verse, prophetic of Jesus CHRIST, awesome

  • Donna Grace - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Lawhana, Praying for healing. The Lord is able.

    Get her to the church where she can be prayed over. As instructed in James 5:14-15. I'm believing that God will do a mighty work in her life and ask you to encourage her to stand upon His word.

    Isaiah 4:10

  • Richard H Priday on Psalms 68 - 3 years ago
    Psalm 68.

    Messianic and prophetic in nature; Psalm 68 is full of references to the destruction of the armies of the earth and the restoration of Israel and God's Covenant people along with the world at large eventually coming to worship the true and living God.

    2 Thessalonians 1:8 discuss the Lord returning in vengeance with flaming fire; and this verse is hardly isolated in the scriptures; as we see finally occurring in Revelation 19. That pretty much sums up the first 2 verses of this Psalm.

    The rest of the first half of the Psalm through verse 17 focuses on the deliverance of God; with the personal view of families (widows and fatherless) being represented in verse 5 and 6; where captives are also said to be released. These verses and their themes are repeated in Isaiah 42 as well as Isaiah 49. Taken literally; it would seem that there will be a final Exodus in volving children especially; which occurs during the Tribulation for slave purposes which will end abruptly at the return of the Lord. There will clearly be many widows of those who survive until the Millennium which will have children returned in some cases by royalty; who will basically bow down in the dust and act as foster parents. Verse 18 seems to bolser this idea with worship of the Lord in the Temple which finally fulfills its role to be "a place of prayer for all nations" ( Isaiah 56:7 also quoted by Jesus in the N.T. Gospels). Even MORE support is given in verses 29-32 for this concept.

    These verses and many others sadly are often taken as symbolic language which takes much of the impact out of the passages. There needs; of course to be some latitude when we observe symbolism within a text of literal descriptions as to interpretation but hopefully the joy and awe of God's Providence won't be unnecessarily watered down because it seems to go against some sort of specific doctrinal stance. Let us be as Bereans searching the Scriptures daily and dividing rightly.
