Brother, you're in my prayers today. As is Gabby AND her mother! Asking the Holy Spirit to prevail. That no spirit other than the Holy Spirit be at work here. That ALL other spirits be BROKEN and BOUND in JESUS NAME!

Keep the faith! If God told you something, stand on it, even when you can't see it! You don't know how long it will take and the enemy will try to fight. Maybe God is watching to see how you will do in this major test in your life. So do NOT give up, my brother! KNOW that God will take care of you no matter what if you stay faithful to Him above ALL others. Be willing to forsake all others. You may not have to but just let the good Lord KNOW that you would do anything for HIM!

Love and peace to you on this beautiful Sabbath day.

Jesus kept Sabbath

God made Sabbath for man to rest and worship.

Our Spirits talk at each other. I know you are blessed by God. I enjoyed all verses you gave, every word in those chapters spoke clearly to me. All things work together for good for those who truly love God. Thank you my fellow bride in Christ. My prayers have been answered.

Grace to you and peace from our God, The Father in Heaven and The Lord Jesus Christ.

Be very careful dear brother. Those books were rejected by both Jews and Christians ss fake. Jude takes a reference from one of them, but in his time books had not been canonised in the OT, things were a bit 'fluid', so people were reading all sort of different books that later on were not included in the formal OT . May lead you to false teachings.. GBU

Brothers and Sisters in the Lord, please, help :

Apart from the words "your master is eating with the publicans" , is there anywhere in the FOUR (4) Bible gospels (MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN) , Where we have a recorded or documented conversation between the twelve (12) disciples and the people around them? Or Do we have any recorded conversation between the twelve (12) disciples and the people around them just within the four (4) Bible gospels (MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN)?

Erich...Thanks for your response...But John 10 : 29 is not a scripture that can be negotiated or twisted ...Its Absolute...Jesus is saying My Father that gave them me is GREATER then all and No man is able to pluck them from my Fathers hands...Period...And about the parable of the sower that good seed is the living WORDS the very seeds of God...Thats y he is saying to whom the WORD came it made them Gods and the scripture cannot be broken Jesus's breath/words...Which means you donot understand the ENORMITY of the seed of the sower...Remember NO MAN can pluck them out of my fathers hands.

.....Thats y we cannot fallaway even if we wanted to...That good seed is the very seed of God..Spirit and Life,..We are ALL bought with a price, we are NOT our own...He paid for us with his own blood...If i be lifted up i will DRAW ALL men unto me when the time comes...( when the book is opened in Gods right hand ) Thats when the Kingdom comes..That woman in birth pains

.....That good seed is his WORD and his Word cannot return unto him void...It has to accomplish what it was sent to do a Birth a baby Christ which is the H.G that Child of Promise...Ya gotta realize that the sower of this good seed is the bridegoom..Thats y he has to KNOW us thats when the good seed is sown in our hearts...Thats hearing his voice ( his seed ) Hebrew 11 : 1 impling Faith and Real Faith is a spritual pregnancy simply b/c its the substance of things hoped for ( a baby Christ )...The H.G. The evidence of things NOT seen...Simply b/c the Child is spirit..Whosoever receiveth one such child in my name receiveth me..She brough forth a man child a baby that is gona rule all nations and her Child was caught up to God and to his throne..Remember the babes and sucklings...His children that gonna result from his seed...They don't call him the bridegroom for nothin..ok leme go Gbu Erich

I'm thankful to have the bible at the palm of my hand day and night.

please pray for Kristie and me

why are we here?

Your words are true...and if someone is feeling hurt, that's as good of a condition as someone who is in agreement with the truth of our heart's trouble. Love to you and yours and all who thirst after righteousness.

I think that's it's also worth remembering that Melchizedek wasn't just the High Priest of Salem , he was also the King of Salem , I'm sure that you already know that Salem means peace . Salem to you smiley face . Genesis Ch 14 V 18 .

See also Galatians 5:22-23

"22 - But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

23 - Meekness, TEMPERANCE, against such there is no law."

Dear Bobby

We don't know that but it is obvious they had some writings or oral instructions by God(?) about that. Definitely not used astrology, that is fake science. Not astronomy either which is real science. The star had to be down near the ground to show the house where Jesus was. If it was up the sky like normal stars it couldn't show a specific point on earth. It was not a usual star.

GBU

I picked that verse because We're getting so many questions about: "can people in heaven see us on earth?"

Maybe you can figure a better way to answer that question. There's more inquiries in the rooms now.

I don't believe in that. Im at a loss of why people want to think that anyway?

Dear brother/sister

I disagree with your comment about baptism as a condition for salvation

Please read Mark 16:15-16 .(there are other verses too)

" 15 - And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.

16 - He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned."

Does baptism saves one if not born iagain? The answer is No.

Does new birth saves one if not baptised in water afterwards? The answer is still No.

One has to go through both of them to be saved (my opinion ...)

There is a difference between baprism in water and baptism in Spirit. The former you do it yourself, the later God does it.

Also there are different opinions between christians about baptism in Spirit, that are:

a. One is baptised in Spirit when one believes in Christ, that is when one is born again.

b. when one is baptised in water

c. baptism in Spirit has nothing to do with either new birth or baptism in water. It is independent of those, but has to be either at the same time or after new birth.

Anyway I think baptism in water is essential for salvation. There are exceptions to this only when one is impossible to be baptized, like the other thief on the cross next to Jesus, or when one has no time left to live, etc

GBU

Thank you for your help. Blessings

We thank you God Father in heaven for Your great mercy with us humans. Therefore, we now lift up Buck up in love with You Lord. That all prayers are heard aloud concerning Buck and his loved ones.

Only You Lord can know what He is struggling with. Thank You for strengthening our brothers and sisters in the Lord with all the Spiritual wisdom in Christ. All powers and authorities are subject to Your Holy Name, You are King forever.

Thank you for the prayer answer that does not wait. In Your Holy Name Jesus, love you in Christ.

Revelation 20

Hi Sarah. The Jewish Sabbath starts from the evening of the Friday according to our Gregorian calendar. They keep to the same dates as we have them, except that their year is different (their current year is 5782). So whether your calendar shows Sunday as the first day of the week or Monday as the first, it won't matter, as the Sabbath will always start from Friday evening. And all their other holidays & observances are based on the calendar we have.

As the Jew remains under the Law, it is imperative that they abide to the given Law, for by it they will be judged ( Romans 2:12). But for the one In Christ, our judgement was at the Cross & the Law has no hold or gives any penalty to us ( Romans 8:1-4).

Thank you Mishael.

You can Google the star of Bethlehem and get the astronomy on that; approximate time in history, etc.

I believe the Wise Men were astrologers, mathematicians. Observers of the Times. Quite possibly Chaldean in nature. They had a purpose to fulfill in Gods plan. Each gift had a meaning. Mary and Joseph could use the gold to live on, in Egypt until King Herod died, in Israel.

It's very interesting to study the ways God provides for His purposes. For us too.

This is an ongoing subject that gets wrangled routinely.

When you come to Jesus for salvation, BEING BORN AGAIN ( John 3), Jesus will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

Water Baptism is a wonderful ceremony, to be shared with your Church and family. But it does not save you. You have to give your life to Christ and take His Life into your heart, mind, and soul__by asking to be baptized by the Holy Spirit.

Anyone can walk into a church and be baptized. Call and make an appointment first. It'll be private if that is your aim.

Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, because it was a prophesy. A lot of people got baptized that day.

The best Baptism is the day you realize that the Holy Spirit is seated on the throne of your heart, and speaks to your heart with the still, small voice. He's teaching, comforting, warning when you're about to sin some way. He tells you about Jesus__if you will get into the Bible and read it every day. Start in Proverbs. Lots of practical information in there. Isaiah is prophetic scriptures about Jesus. Matthew to 1-2-3 John are Jesus's life on earth. Revelation gives you a special blessing for reading it. Every time you do.

By every means, grow up in Christ.

Refuse to be a ( Revelation 3:14-22) kind of Christian. Be hot.

I love you in Jesus, Mishael

Reply to Corey Banning.

What does Psalm 91 have to do with baptism?

I do not believe Christ saves a sinner but then makes that salvation dependent on that sinner keeping himself pure enough from sin not to warrant being rejected by Jesus in the end.

Reply to Doug

I believe foolish virgins with no oil in their lamps, professing Christians with no fruit of the Holy Spirit and no works to evidence genuine faith, and foolish hearers who build their houses on the sand are all pictures of sinners who never get saved because God saw they valued other things more than God, like the eager young man in Matthew 19 who valued his money more than salvation.

Jesus was anointed with all gifts of the Holy Spirit. Specifically, in this incident He knew by the Word of Knowledge __ WHO the sinners and hypocrites were, in that mob.

They were trying to trick Jesus into rendering a death sentence on the woman. Jesus just said, "HE WHO IS WITHOUT SIN, throw the first stone."

We have to cultivate the Mind of Christ within ourselves. We need Jesus to do that. If it feels like judging, it probably is. We need to drop all of our rocks and go get our minds renewed in the Bible.

The Bible speaks on RIGHTEOUS judgment. If it's illegal, the police and courts are appointed by God; to settle these issues. There are soul sins, and those that are settled in courts. On THAT DAY, no one was on that jury. All were conscious of their sins.

I always got in trouble because of judging. It was very very painful to UNLEARN IT. We can, by prayer, be released for judging others sins, but not our own sins.

When we get cured of that__The Lord will use us to set others free too. You will love the rewards!!

If your friend is going through this, Teach them to run TO THE CROSS, to be declared Not Guilty. Jesus paid in Blood for all of our sins.

EXCEPTION: the sins we retain, REMAIN. Think on that.

I'm not going to condemn anyone. It's too painful and prolonged, to get ourselves free.

I do not believe we are running a race with the end goal of obtaining salvation in the end for scoring well on the run. Christians are immediately saved as soon as the Holy Spirit fills them in response to their whole-hearted search for forgiveness and salvation on the basis of Jesus' death on the cross.

VERSES ON MODERATION. Jesus practiced moderation.

Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 - To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

1 Corinthians 6:12 - All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of [excesses of anything]

Ephesians 5:18 - And be not drunk with wine, wherein is EXCESS; but be filled with the Spirit;

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 - What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?

1 Peter 5:8 - Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: [over consumption=poor health]

1 Timothy 4:2-5 - Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

Philippians 4:5 - Let your MODERATION be known unto all men. The Lord is at hand.

Proverbs 20:1 - Wine is a mocker, strong drink is raging: and whosoever is deceived thereby is not wise.

1 Timothy 5:23 - Drink no longer water, but use a little wine for thy stomach's sake and thine often infirmities. (This was a stomach remedy; not a reason to party.)

1 Timothy 3:8 - Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre;

Comment: anger creates cortisol in the blood, and it kills people.

Almost everyone knows these things. The only way I've found to fight back, is to not even bring stuff into the house. God created everything to give us life and health.

I drink water until my brain sends the signal I am "full". It turns off that screaming. Try it.

Thank you for your prayers for the healing of susan so that the diverticula is gone and she can continue her work in helping those in need. Amen

Ephesians 2:8-9 Ephesians 2:8-9 (KJV)

For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: 9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Response- Yes, by grace we've been saved (past tense). We're told in the next verse that we're made for the purpose of good works. This gives evidence to genuine change in heart & we need to guard our heart (ref. Heb. 3: 12) That's why we can look to Rom 2:6-7 " Who will render to every man according to his deeds:To them who by patient CONTINUANCE in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, ETERNAL LIFE:" You can see from this text that salvation starts at the moment we believe on Christ, but, is not a 1x event. It is a lifelong walk. (Reference Rom. 6: 16 & Gal. 6: 7-9)

John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.

Response- John 10:27 "My sheep hear my voice, I know them and they FOLLOW me (present continuous tense). Those who actively follow Jesus will inherit eternal life. John 10:28 is such a blessing to know that no one can take me out of the love of Christ, but, even as Jude warns we are to keep ourselves in the love of Christ.

Hebrews 12:8 But if ye be without chastisement, whereof all are par takers, then are ye bastards, and not sons.

Response- Heb. 12:8 teaches how God corrects His children with the objective of bringing the backsliding back on the strait & narrow. However, we still have a free will and need to come back on our own. Ref. James 5:19-20; 2 Chron. 15: 2)

1 Corinthians 5:5 To deliver such an one unto satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

Response- 1 Cor. 5:5 is talking about casting a sinner out of the church, as they could bring grave sin, hence a little leaven leaven the lump. Not a OSAS verse. See 1 Cor. 10: 7-12; 1 Cor. 15: 1-2

We are saved, are being saved, and will be saved it we endure to the end in Christ

Dear Gigi,

Joan will be prayed for. May God grant you both lots of strength.
