Joanne good question but I think the new heaven and the new earth is just simbolic of our new heart and new spirit...As Isaiah Isaiah 66 :22 Says as the New Heaven and the New Earth shall remain so shall thy seed and and name remain...Which is the seed of the sower that is gonna form Christ in us our New Man...Our new heart and new spirit which is the H.G. that Child of Promise...Our new innerman...That New earth...Scrip. says man is of the earth earthy...Thus our new man is the New Earth.

......Joanne...This earth is too Precious and Beautiful for God to wanna destroy it...Its mans evil and Adamic nature that GOD wants to destroy with his baptism of fire and the H.G...The Gift of God and his love for humanity...As our God is a consuming fire that is gonna destroy Satans kingdom our old adamic nature...He is gonna make his enemy his footstool...Which is our old adamic nature...ok

When you have so called preachers and teachers going around telling people its okay to be in a homosexual relationship, because love is what really matters, and true men of God getting bashed all the time preaching it is a sin. Listen please, when today's popular so called preachers are saying this they are not helping you, they are hurting people that are in these sinful relationships by not being truthful. It is not hating or bashing people when speaking the truth, there is nothing more loving and caring thing than the truth. When you preach or pass laws and put your arms around these people and tell them its okay, your not helping them, your hurting them. Nothing is more loving and caring than the truth!

How does stuff and rod can "comfort" me?) there's wrong translation. In original text "rod" has meaning "clan", "society", "family". "stuff" has meaning "support", and "comfort" has meaning "appeasement", "harmony". I prefer to "my famy and they're support can appeasement me" instead "rod and stuff can comfort me")

Thanks Marke, Romans 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection: It is important to die (with Christ to ourselves) so that the new life of the Holy Spirit can reign and bring forth fruit to perfection. Romans 8 is a chapter on the work of the Spirit and our need to be led of it. Otherwise we get in the way of God working in us and are carnally minded. Good chance those among the rocks and thorns were professing Christians with shallow conversions (building on sand) Mat. 7:26 And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:

Lemme tell ya about the great Promise that God made to Abraham's seed...His heavenly Seed Christ... Gen. 22 : 17...It was the 2 nd time that the angel spoke to Abraham from Heaven..Saying i will MULTIPLY thy seed as the Stars of Heaven... Gal 3 : 16..Now unto Abraham and his SEED were the Promises made but he says NOT unto Seeds plural ( natural Israel ) ..But unto 1 Seed which is Christ..The Israel of God...Its Only Christ that is the Gift of God..THE ELECT...Remember Jesus told that woman at the well that it was HE that was the Gift of God...That living Water...If thou knewest the Gift of God and who it is that speaks to you, You wd have asked of him and he wd given you living water...Which is the H.G. the Gift of God...The multiplication of Christ that Child of Promise..The H.G...Remember God swore by his very self when he made that Promise...Thus its God him self that is gona be MULTIPLIED AS STARS OF HEAVEN...Which is the H.G. As that which is born of the spirit is spirt as God is spirit the H.G...The Gift of God

...Thats y Jesus refers to the H.G as the Promise the H.G. is the multiplication of very God in humanity via the seed of Christ. Jesus...Thats y Jesus is saying to whom the WORD came ( His Seed ) it made them Gods...Its God himself that wants to be multiplied in humanity..Which is the H.G the Children of PROMISE....That are gonna be as the Stars of Heaven when the sower will go forth to sow his precious seed in humanity...Thats y Jesus is saying whosoever receiveth one such Child in MY NAME receiveth ME

....The manchild is the H.G. simply b/c Jesus said that which is born of the spirit is spirit the H.G. the Children of PROMISE...Jesus said behold i send the PROMISE of MY FATHER UPON YOU which was baptism of the H.G..A birth of a baby Christ in them...She brought forth a man Child that is gona rule ALL NATIONS..Thats y Jesus is saying whosoever receiveth one such child in my name receiveth me..Unless you receive the kingdom as a lil Child..New Birth

please remember Kristie and me and families in your prayers

Sins of ignorance are not what sends sinners to hell. Romans 5

Romans 5:13

(For until the law sin was in the world: but sin is not imputed when there is no law.

No sinner goes to hell in ignorance. Condemnation is the sentence issued to those who reject the light clearly revealed to them by the Holy Spirit.

John 3:19

And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

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;

19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:

Sorry if i made a confusion with Judas It was unintentional. When i said Judas was saved I meant in the beginning, after the betrayal he lost his salvation since he didn't repent.

The Lord's Word (Bible) does not offer speculation, only TRUTH. Amen

Thank you Mishael for that lovely post , I needed to be reminded of those things today .

Luke 8 - The Parable of the Sower

There are three kinds of hearers who never get saved and only one kind of hearer who gets saved.

Luke 8

11 Now the parable is this: The seed is the word of God.

12 Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.

13 They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.

14 And that which fell among thorns are they, which, when they have heard, go forth, and are choked with cares and riches and pleasures of this life, and bring no fruit to perfection.

15 But that on the good ground are they, which in an honest and good heart, having heard the word, keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience.

Way side hearers don't give God a second thought.

Those whose seed is received on the rock have no root, which is the Lord Jesus ( Revelation 22:16

I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.)

Those who receive the seed among thorns have no fruit ( Jude 1:12

These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots;)

Good ground hearers get saved. They have the root and offspring of David. They have the fruit of the Spirit. And they have the Lord Jesus who will keep them from falling away ( Jude 1:24

Now unto him that is able to keep you from falling, and to present you faultless before the presence of his glory with exceeding joy,)

Judas was never saved so he did not lose his salvation, according to John 6:70.

John 6:70

Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?

Jesus did not say, "One of you disciples may fall back into sin if he is not careful." No, Jesus said, "One of you is a devil," referring to Judas.

She's a lot better , she has just been allowed back home but will have to be on total bedrest for five weeks and won't be back at work untill after she has had a full lung assessment to check for any permanent damage . Thanks so much again to you and everyone else for their prayers , God is so very kind . How is your Mom ?

Mark 2 - the Sabbath

21 No man also seweth a piece of new cloth on an old garment: else the new piece that filled it up taketh away from the old, and the rent is made worse.

22 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles: else the new wine doth burst the bottles, and the wine is spilled, and the bottles will be marred: but new wine must be put into new bottles.

23 And it came to pass, that he went through the corn fields on the sabbath day; and his disciples began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn.

24 And the Pharisees said unto him, Behold, why do they on the sabbath day that which is not lawful?

25 And he said unto them, Have ye never read what David did, when he had need, and was an hungred, he, and they that were with him?

26 How he went into the house of God in the days of Abiathar the high priest, and did eat the shewbread, which is not lawful to eat but for the priests, and gave also to them which were with him?

27 And he said unto them, The sabbath was made for man, and not man for the sabbath:

28 Therefore the Son of man is Lord also of the sabbath.

Strict observance of laws and ordinances are not as important to the Lord as seeking and serving God with all your heart. In fact, many detailed Jewish laws do not even pertain to the Church, which is seen by Jesus' reference to not putting new wine into old bottles.

amen! thank you a lot! May God bless you

Hello Cindy.

Isaiah 11:6: "The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them."

Isaiah 65:25: "The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the bullock: and dust shall be the serpent's meat. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain, saith the LORD."

The Scriptures are clear, identifying the wolf with the lamb, & not a lion & a lamb (though the probability of this too actually happening is very high). I realize that it has been popular for some time to quote it as "the lion & the lamb", & that maybe because it's easier to memorize, or oft quoted by preachers, or to depict a really ferocious beast with a docile one, or even from the Elvis song, "Peace in the Valley", one verse being,

"Well the bear will be gentle

And the wolves will be tame

And the lion shall lay down

By the lamb, oh yes"

You may care to check out other Bible translations, & you won't find 'the lion & the lamb'.

Romans Chapter 11 Really puts it well . Only one root and tree , the branches are Jew and Gentile .

The wisdom of God as Paul says is .....

Please pray for my family, that we would all seek after Christ in our lives, and not just be hearers of the Word but doers. Please pray that we would find a church to go to, one that preaches the Word of God. Pray for three of my brothers, that they would come to know Christ as their Savior. Pray for my fourth brother that He would have a desire read the Word now that he's saved.

Please pray for my mom, she's been having pain in her back with her sciatica, and please pray that she would seek the Lords guidance and desire to do what pleases Him. And please pray for my dad, that he would walk in the Spirit and not the flesh.

Lastly, please pray for me that I would stop being so lackadaisical in my walk with the Lord, and serve Him faithfully.

God bless you brother and sisters through Christ, may you all fight the good fight of faith. 1 Timothy 6:12 Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, whereunto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

Gen 7:2-3 Of every clean beast thou shalt take to thee by sevens, the male and his female: and of beasts that are not clean by two, the male and his female.

Of fowls also of the air by sevens, the male and the female; to keep seed alive upon the face of all the earth.

"In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;" Titus 1:2 KJV

Thank you, Chris.

I am good with letting God take her at any moment. I have resolved that many years ago. I just want the medical team to continue to treat her as long as there is hope of a positive turn around and to relieve her pain and keep her comfortable. If there should be an unrecoverable downturn, I hope that God will give the team wisdom to recognize that and cease to administer any extraordinary means (which she has been adamant about for 20 years) and work on keeping her pain free until God takes her.

But with 9 siblings, I cannot speak for each of them. They need to come to a place of peace like I have, I hope.

I appreciate your prayers. She has lived a long life with very little health problems. She accomplished her calling in giving birth to ten babies as God saw fit to bless her and my dad with and raise us all up on meager income. I know she hopes to see my dad in heaven, but we both know that the sight of Jesus will be far more joyous than seeing anyone we loved in this life.

But we shall see how things go, day by day. Every day we have with her is a blessing, as she could have passed before my brother went to check on her. So God is gracious to us.

Help me pray for Faith my girl who's epileptic. She's also a candidate this year.

Beloved Christ Yeshua Jesus, I want to thank you for your blessings and ask you to open the paths that you have destined for me in this new land. Send the Holy Spirit to guide me and give me the Wisdom to understand the Holy Scriptures. Thank you. Amen.

Are there angels assigned to the believer?

Hello Robert, I will pray for you tonight.

Lord Jesus, we ask that You swiftly deliver Robert from this addiction to lust and pornography. Break this hold on him and replace it with a desire for You and Your holiness. Jesus, clear his mind of all the filthy images he has looked upon and imagined. Give him a godly attitude towards women and cause him to look upon women with respect and brotherly concern for their safety and see them as blood bought children of the Father. We ask these things, Jesus, in Your name, today. Amen.

Sister GiGi, I agree, it's very hard to convey all that needs to be said without being in a face to face discussion.

I have a question?

Romans 8:29

1 Corinthians 15:49

Colossians 1:15

The word says Jesus is the image of God, his Father.

Ephesians 4:6 There is one God and FATHER OF ALL ...

If he's is your father, as he is Christ Father, why would you not be the exactness of his first son.

We were predestinated to be the image of Christ. He is the firstborn of many brethren.

Do you believe you are going to continue as you are now, or do you believe you are a new creature (creation) in Christ.

As we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall bear the image of the heavenly.

God's will be done in the sickness of you mother. My prays are with you and your family.

Concerning your three sons; we both know the promises of God; PERFECTION, we just don't know the time frame.

God Bless you!

Dear Rodreck, I will pray for you.

Dear Heavenly Father, Rodrick needs to return to You as his first love once again. Restore him in faith by the power of Your Holy Spirit. Make the gospel come alive to Him again and enliven his soul. Strengthen him in resisting temptation and evil. Cause him to hunger after You and Your Word. We ask all of this for Rodrick, in Your name, Lord, Jesus.

Amen.

Lord God, grant this miracle that Mary needs in her hands and body in Your holy name, Jesus. Amen.

Dear Christina, I will pray for you.

Dear Heavenly Father, I lift up Christina and her Mom. Please bring to each of them healing. Restore them to health. I pray that you will remove the cancer from Christina's Mom and have the chemo be effective. Help in her recovery from these treatments. Also, I ask that You remove from Christina the problems that are affecting her health. Father, we know that our lives are in Your hands and that You know each of us intimately and thoroughly. We know that You are trustworthy, faithful, and true. We are trusting in Your unfailing love and goodness today as we ask these things of You in the name of Your Son, Jesus. Amen.
