The view of the moon rising and sun setting must have been beautiful. There is nothing like enjoying the handiwork of our Creator! Surely He does all things well!
I never thought of how awful the phrase, 'the cost of living' is...until you addressed it so wonderfully. Oh MY...what an awful effect sin has had on our world! I join you in looking forward to the day when our Lord WILL make ALL things NEW!
God bless you dear sister!
What wonderful progress you're making! The prayers will surely
continue! Thank you for the update, and I look forward to more praise reports! :)
It is a blessing to rejoice with you at the goodness of our Lord!
Blessings!

I can now put weight on my foot and can walk a but without too much pain. Good improvemtn!
Thank you for your kindness and prayers.
I am recovering well from both surgeries. I am beginning to put weight on my foot and can take a few steps. So, will most likely get all stitches out next week.
Do you have your surgery scheduled yet?
Later Apostle John would be incarcerated on the Isle of Patmos; where by Jesus would help him write the Book of Revelation. All words and signs have been provided, so that we can understand TODAY is the day of Salvation; provided from the very foundation of this world we live in now.
We evangelize while it is still "daytime", to give the gospel that will save and change the inner man/woman. Our souls have that sense of timing within us.
Those who are perishing, do not have that sense. The "god" of this world has captured and blinded their minds.
That's why Corporate Prayer, in a church is so powerful. They can set captives (to sin) free; to hear the words of salvation.
It is that sense of time running out, that should spur Jesus's true disciples (on earth now), to speak up. Be the louder voice.
A long time ago, I heard a song that inspired me to evangelize. HAVE YOU BEEN LISTENING by Darrell Mansfield. It should jolt your spirit, to reach out horizontally to those who perish. Our testimonies of how we came to believe in Jesus: are priceless. Don't be afraid to speak up. Even this Sunday as we celebrate the work of the Cross of Christ. He is the sacrifice slain, so the Jews could Spread The Blood over their doors.
Guys, the Easter Bunny is a child's story. Be strong and tell the real story of what Passover means. May God bless those who do it.
Someone had to die, to mark our homes for life, not death. We only have to tell the story of who it was who died for our sins, and eternal life.
Mishael
The Last days began when Jesus came to earth and go all the way until the end. That means that they are a period of time, not just days.
Please read what apostle Peter said to the people gathered at the day of the Pentecost. ( Acts 2:16-21). He refers to a prophesy said by prophet Joel. Peter calls his days as last days (see verse 17) during which God has poured His Spirit to people but he goes on until the end (verse 20) "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come" still refering to these days as last days. But this will happen at the end when God woll destroy this earth and will make a new earth.
Now if you mean that we are very close to the end of this world, well my opinion is yes we are.
GBU
Those scriptures you quoted should be considered explained if they hold the view that a loving God will not allow a lost sinner to go to heaven. They take away his very being and attributes. Judgement, Nahum 1:3.
They also fail to understand that everyone is not baptized into Christ. And if they're not in Christ they die in Adam and face the second death. 1 Corinthians 15:20-23.
This belief that all will be saved by fire contradicts the preaching of the cross and what may not seem obvious at first glance, but they devalue the love of God denying the display of love presented when we read John 3:16 and Romans 5:8-9.
Perhaps Romans 5:8. is a clearer picture of that love when read with 1 Peter 1:20. "Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,"
God didn't make man, find out what he would be like, and then send a savior. God saw all that was in man including Putin, Hitler, Abortionist, Racism, ect.. before the foundation of the world. Yet he sent his son to die in our place.
If there is no judgement or penalty for the sinner, then the cross doesn't display that love.
God bless.
Paul further explains that it was not by our own efforts, in verse 9 when he says "not the results of works, so that no one may boast".
Paul says that salvation has fallen upon them all due to God, because we are like "dead corpses" which cannot do anything unless we are revived by God's grace.
give the answers to why we are saved and who saved us, it was by God through his grace and Christ.
Overall, the Letter to the Ephesians explains what Paul believes is the reason why the people of Ephesus and Asia Minor.
Again the word dead 'nekros' is used to suggest that we cannot save "state of spiritual deadness because of our trespasses
but because God makes us alive (spiritually) through Jesus Christ. Because man does not normally seek
God, said in Romans 3:10-11, it is God who must act first to save us from our sins and trespasses
ourselves because we are like dead corpses who can only be revived by God. Paul says it is God who made
us 'alive' again.
Paul explains to us how we are raised up with Christ, just like how Jesus rose form the
dead, we are now raised up from our state of spiritual deadness. Paul writes that Christ has "seated us with
him in the heavenly places", meaning although we may be physically alive here on earth, Jesus Christ has
assigned a place spiritually at the right hand of God. Paul explains that being saved is not only a physical
thing but more importantly, we are saved spiritually
with Christ, because this spiritual state we are now in is irreversible, unless_
Paul sums up or completes his teaching of Salvation and how God saves through GRACE.
Paul says that it is by grace we have received faith.
Paul explains how and why we are saved, that is because of grace and our faith.
We need to understand that it is not by our own efforts that we have left that state of spiritual deadness but by the life in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Mishael: it is by Faith in Jesus's work, that you are saved.
....The written WORD ANSWERS to the lesser light but the living Word which is the H.G. is the greater light...Jesus said are there not 12 hours in a day and 12 hours in a night..But if a man walk in the night he is gona stumble...The nite was always the lesser light...But the greater light is Christ the light of the world...That day star that has to rise in our hearts via the living word his voice.
....Jesus asked 1 day which of the Prophets has not your fathers stoned...Israel stoned almost all of the prophets with the law that written word under their arms....Thus that written word that you so much worship is a killer...But the living WORD IS A LIFE GIVER
....Man wd neva seek God as the scriptures say Romans 8 : 7 mans carnal mind is not subject to the laws of God and neither indeed CAN BE...God knew this and loved the world in spite of his evil carnal mind...When we were yet sinners Christ died for us..All of us...If in this life only we have hope in Christ we are of All men most miserable.. 1 Cor. 15 : 19...In Adam we ALL DIE but in Christ that 2 nd ADAM we will ALL live...Not 1 single person will be able to escape the blessing and the Blood of that 2 nd ADAM....THE WRATH of the lamb ETC...Go ye into ALL the world and preach the gospel to every creature...Thats everybody
Please consider reflecting on 2 Timothy 2:1, 2 Timothy 1:7, Joshua 1:9, and 1 Peter 5:7.
Demon spirits cannot enter you when Jesus Christ resides in your heart. If you are truly a born-again believer, what you are experiencing is demon influence. Resist them! James 4:7 "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." Seek help from someone who is a dedicated Christian who can help you through this. Draw as close to God via prayer, reading the Word, and singing.
I love Jesus the Son of the Living God for all that He has done, is doing and will be doing for Everything Comes from Him!!!!
Well stated! I also pray anyone visiting the site to do as the Bereans. Fellowship but test everything scripture. But the trouble and what's blasphemous about these teachings is they claim you can't learn the scripture by the letter, "EVERYTHING" is spiritualized and hidden from their eyes.
But what they fail to mention is salvation is a clear message, it's only hidden from those who sought salvation through Judaism.
And the preaching of the cross is only foolish to those who are lost.
This is Jewish terminology. Shepherds carried a rod and staff. The shepherd would use the rod to protect his sheep from an attacking predator. If I'm not mistaken, the staff was like a cane with a hooked end on it, and the shepherd would use the hooked end to pull one of his sheep back to the flock when the sheep was going astray.
The Lord is our shepherd. We are His sheep. We find comfort in knowing that His rod will protect us, and His staff will pull us back to Himself when we begin to wander, as sheep tend to do. Jesus Christ, our good shepherd, He is our comfort!
I'm not sure that I can add anything to what brother Chris has said.
Ephesians Chapter 2 is a great chapter. When I read it, I find it interesting that verses 1-10 gives us the process of salvation, and Verses 11 through 22 is the purpose of salvation. I break it down into two sections. Something I see in this chapter is that God raises us up and saves us to demonstrate for the world about how rich in grace He is.
....But the righteousness of the law is fulfilled by the H.G. Which is he that is born of God in US and cannot sin...As Jesus said That which is born of God is spirit thats our new innerman the H.G...that cannot sin..thus the new birth is gonna fulfill the law.
.... Romans 3 : 31 KJV ...do we then make void the law by faith God forbid we establish the law....Simply b/c he that is born of God cannot sin..which is the H.G. THAT child of PROMISE.
Once again; a hidden place in God's "pavilion" (v. 20) are offered to those saints which fear God (v. 19). The reward in v. 23 for the evil doer once again shows that we reap what we sow. These verses referring to a "strong city" (v. 21) are indicative of the heavenly Jerusalem most likely; and could refer to the Rapture and or Resurrection of the saints.
Verse 5 shows what Christ stated when He died "into thine hands I commit my spirit". ( Luke 23:46). The part of being redeemed is for the rest of the saints; as Christ overcame through His own Divinity. It is finished was stated in John 19:30. This shows that after death He was victorious; and by no means was "suffering in hell" but was proclaiming victory; and setting free the captives ( Eph. 4:8). Also this fits in with the penitent thief being with Him "today" in paradise ( Luke 23:43). Three days later; at the Resurrection many were brought forth from their graves and appeared to many. As to whether they went to heaven as the first of the firstfruits is of some controversy; but no other explanation seems likely. Satan was defeated and the stage was set for the verse "death where is thy sting?" ( 1 Cor. 15:55-57).
Several other verses; particularly verse 13 seem to show the sufferings of Christ. Verse 11 is very similar to those used by Job during his trial.
2 Timothy fits perfectly, Certain teachings derail the Gospel.
And this particular message renders the crucifixion as NOT an act of Love. No one is perfect in their Doctrine because of our ignorance, that's why we continue to grow until we come to a full knowledge of the truth. Ephesians 4:13.
But when one say he already have that full knowledge in these earthy bodies but yet their Doctrine don't line up with none of Gods word, so they spiritualize ALL of scripture.
I don't believe that's innocent ignorance. I believe that's demonic.
Because the result of their Doctrine makes clear scripture looks as if it was lies.
God bless.
I don't believe that I'm 'qualifying ourselves for salvation'. I wrote of the need of Faith in Christ's Sacrifice & that Faith is given by God - and all that is from the Word as written. If you don't believe Ephesians 2:8,9 then please state it.
Yes, Jesus fed the multitudes (to take up your illustration), just as His Sacrifice avails for all men. But did Jesus force-feed them? His offer of Salvation is given to all but none are forced into accepting it. The people who readily accepted the food were hungry & were fed. What if some said, "Not today Jesus, I'll come back in a couple of days to eat the food You offer." Would it still be there for them? Their chance to be fed was on that day - tomorrow would be too late. You're implying that in the end He will save all mankind, even if they have shown no interest in the Gospel & come by the way of the Cross, while they were alive. Yes, the Blood avails for all - but not all want to have anything to do with that Blood. He is indeed not willing that any should perish, but man still prefers to face eternity without Christ believing that eternity is either non-existent or secured by some other means.
And I am still awaiting your answers to my questions, because they're important. Thank you.
...Chris God applied the curse of Adam to every man no exceptions, not 1 single person cd escape that Curse of 1 st Adam...Thus not 1 single soul will escape the wrath of the lamb that 2 nd Adam ...He is gonna stain ALL his raiment...The Blood of the lamb is gonna be applied to every person not 1 single person will escape the blessing/Blood of the Lamb...Thats what the wrath of the lamb is all about he wants to apply his blood/his Word to every man no exceptions mind you...Thus every single person will be stained with his blood in the end when that book is opened that NEW COVENANT...Which is an ALL INCLUSIVE COVENANT...I will know them ALL from least to the greatest...This know them ALL is an intimacy with God that is gona result in a birth of Christ in us...Thats y he always refers to himself as the SON OF MAN...Mankind is gonna bring forth fruit uno God...
