    the word "salvation" concerns an eternal, spiritual deliverance. When Paul told the Philippian jailer what he must do to be saved, he was referring to the jailer's eternal destiny ( Acts 16:30-31). Jesus equated being saved with entering the kingdom of God ( Matthew 19:24-25).

    What are we saved from? In the Christian doctrine of salvation, we are saved from "wrath," that is, from God's judgment of sin ( Romans 5:9; 1 Thessalonians 5:9). Our sin has separated us from God, and the consequence of sin is death ( Romans 6:23). Biblical salvation refers to our deliverance from the consequence of sin and therefore involves the removal of sin.

    Who does the saving? Only God can remove sin and deliver us from sin's penalty ( 2 Timothy 1:9; Titus 3:5).

    How does God save? In the Christian doctrine of salvation, God has rescued us through Christ ( John 3:17). Specifically, it was Jesus' death on the cross and subsequent resurrection that achieved our salvation ( Romans 5:10; Ephesians 1:7). Scripture is clear that salvation is the gracious, undeserved gift of God ( Ephesians 2:5, 8) and is only available through faith in Jesus Christ ( Acts 4:12).

  • WOMEN PREACHERS and THE ANOINTING__JOEL 2 - In Reply on Genesis 2 - 2 years ago
    Fuchsia Pickett teaching on THE LORD OF THE DOUBLE PORTION.

    Tiny gray-haired old lady, but I've never heard such a powerful word as this teaching.

    If God calls you to preach; nothing is going to silence the voice of the Holy Spirit, except you. Ezekiel 3. The Lord makes the vessel, not us.

    I don't have a lot of patience with people (saved and unsaved) who are lacerating those people who are doing what God showed them to be doing, anointed them and the message by the Holy Spirit. If God said to do something it will turn out productive. Someone will be saved, delivered from spiritual bondages, and filled with the Holy Spirit.

    The ANOINTING OF THE HOLY SPIRIT is powerful. Jesus had performed no miracles until right after Luke 4:18. He turned water into wine at his mothers request. See Isaiah 61 also.

    We are called to follow Jesus. If Jesus has chosen a woman to deliver a message to His Body, it will produce righteous fruit. I know what the anointing does. It took a frightened Gideon and made him a mighty leader of the Army of Israel.

    The Anointing is not subject to the Schoolmaster in the book of Galatians. The Schoolmaster shows us what is/was the Law of God, which is the Teacher. The law of the Spirit is freedom in Jesus Christ.

    The Lord crafts each vessel. Some are honorable and beautiful; others are understated but strong and useful for daily use. We're not all perfected yet. In 1 Corinthians 13, looking through a glass darkly: looking for perfection. We are being perfected by the Lord. Desire the freedom the Holy Spirit shows us.

    If you personally would desire a DOUBLE PORTION ANOINTING from the Holy Spirit; I'd listen to FUCHIA PICKETT, and IVERNA TOMPKINS; on youtube.

    I want anything and everything that God has for me. I only said "whoa, slow down once". Then I'd a few years yes, YEARS, when the Lord was quiet. Then I started begging, on my face, for Hom to pour the Holy Spirit into my life again! Don't go there.

  • LABAN D. NEEDHAM - In Reply on Ezekiel 33 - 2 years ago
    First of all, the HOLT SPIRST will not save a person; his job is to bring you to Christl, to provide comfort, and teach. Only Christ can save you because Christ died on the Cross as our perfect sacrifice for my sins and your sins. John 3: 16 sums it up in a nutshell. Not only did Christ die on the cross, but He arose from the grave or tomb three days later to prove that He was GOD in the flesh. Do you have Christ in you and are you in Christ? Not is the HOLY SPIRT in you and are you in the HOLY SPIRT.

    May God bless you with a good job that you can be content in .
  • Suze - In Reply on Ecclesiastes 9 - 2 years ago
    Always thank God for every good thing in your life , in doing this you are acknowledging Him as the source of all good things and thanking Him for His generosity and mercy and loving kindness to you , even asking something from Him is praising Him because in doing so you are acknowledging His power to intervene and do anything He wants to with His creation . Helping others is also praising Him , if you do some thing nice for some one and they thank you , you could say to them ; don't thank me thank God , they may think that you are crazy but that's their problem . I'm often nice to people I don't like very much because I know that God wants me to be kind to everyone , this is also praising Him , when you do His will even if you don't really want to ! Submission to God's will is definately praising Him . In submission you are showing your faith in Him and His righteousness . I sometimes thank God for the same things every day , if it's truly from the heart it doesn't matter if it's a bit repetitive .

    What is Salvation?
  • GiGi - In Reply on Proverbs 8 - 2 years ago
    Hello Rhonda. Yes, God is all wise. Wisdom is who He is just like Righteous is who He is, and

    Eternal is who He is. It was never acquired by Him from anything outside of Himself. All that we know of Him is Who He is inherently. He never can add to Himself nor detract from Himself. He never changes and is completely independent about everything He has, therefore He aquires nor requires nothing from outside of Himself, He is complete, perfect, infinite, self-existent,, in need of nothing. Pretty amazing!

  • GiGi - In Reply - 2 years ago
    He is doing well caring for me. Maneuvering corners is tricky. I army crawl up the stairs and sit to go from stair to stair down. I

    practiced this before my foot surgery to see what my bum hand would be able to do for this challenge.

    He kind of "hovers" which I don't lie too much. But he is able to work in his office and come when I call for him. I won't be able

    to drive for a while as it is my right foot that had surgery

    My son just arrived in Singapore and is home with his wife and her parents. I am sure they are so happy to see each other after

    three months apart.
  • LABAN D. NEEDHAM on Ezekiel 33 - 2 years ago
    Our great nation is in deep trouble and GOD will judge it in the not to distant future. We have accepted good for evil and evil for good. Our leaders seem to be corrupt, and that includes both political parties . The people believe a lie such as "Climate Change" is caused by man. This denies GOD as the controller of all things, but sets a few elect men as god. What can we do? We MUST do what GOD told Ezekeial to do in chapter 33 of Ezekial. Get the WORD of GOD out to the people of this land. Yes, they will sit and listen to what you say, but will they really believe. They will say, "He is singing the same old song!"
  • Alex N - In Reply on Ecclesiastes 9 - 2 years ago
    Hiya Robert GBU....Lemme give ya my take on Praising God....Our old adamic nature is too tainted with sin to praise God Perfectly...We need to birth a new innerman, a new heart and a new spirit which is the H.G. the Child of Promise....Remember Jesus said outta of the mouths of babes and sucklings thou has PERFECTED PRAISE....Which is the H.G. our new innerman, That Child of Promise....That results from his seed the word that is planted in our hearts etc...Being bornagain of an incorruptible seed etc...Even by the word of God that liveth and abideth for ever..the living WORD that good seed

    ....Thats y the new birth is so important...We get a new heart and a new spirit...That Child of Promise that can Praise God Perfectly...And a Kingdom...Unless you receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in...Its that lil Child which is the H.G that can Praise God Perfectly...As we have borne the image of the earthly ( Our adamic nature ) we must also bear ( birth ) the image of the heavenly....the H.G. that Child of Promise.

    ....Thats y Elijah has to come and turn the hearts of the Fathers to the CHILDREN ...Which are the babes and sucklings that can Praise God PERFECTLY...OK
  • Marke - In Reply on Proverbs 29 - 2 years ago
    The wages of sin is death but there is no Biblical reference that suggests eternal life is payment of a wage, or payment for something earned by the sinner.

    Romans 6:23

    For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
  • GiGi - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Thank you Suze. Last night was a little rough as far as pain goes, needed more pain medications, since the surgery anesthesia

    wore off. But I am thankful I have meds to relieve pain. So many people do not have such relief. I pray for them when I feel pain.

    The intercession of the saints is such a good thing.
  • GiGi again - In Reply - 2 years ago
    So true, Suze. We learn and grow through intake of His Word and applying it in situations as the Holy Spirit reminds us and

    helps us recall in these times.

    Last night I was thinking about all the people throughout time who did not have God's word to read for themselves. It must

    have been difficult for them to really know God well unless he appeared to them like He did to Adam, Noah, Job, Abraham,

    Isaac, Jacob, Moses, Daniel, Ezekiel, Jeremiah, Isaiah, the apostles. Yet we read about their perseverance in faith in God, often

    to the point of martyrdom.

    I am so thankful God provided the influence, imagination, creativity, and skill for the printing press to come about. What an

    astounding blessing. Ye so many do neglect reading or applying Scripture to their lives. That is sad.

    The more of God's word we have in us. The more people we can help with the appropriate Scripture recalled to us by the Holy

    Spirit. Jesus said, "My words are Spirit and Life." (sorry can't find the verse on that, can't lift up my Strong's Concordance yet

    because my hand is sore, but healing.) But right here is an example of what the Holy Spirit does with the Words hidden inside of

    us after we partake of it.
  • GiGi - In Reply on Ecclesiastes 9 - 2 years ago
    Dear Robert.

    If You read accounts of Isaiah's or John's vision of heaven, You will notice that the angels repeatedly cry "Holy, holy, holy is the

    Lord God Almighty."

    I don't think that Scripture is talking about repeating words of praise to God, rather speaking to Him with empty words coming

    from our mouths but not from our heart and mind.

    You could take a little time to write down a variety of praise phrases and continue to add to these along the way. Then you can

    read through some of these before you give them up to God. When you do come to God, use what the Holy Spirit brings to

    mind.

    One thing that helped me many years ago was to write words describing God under each letter A-Z and find Scripture references

    for these. This helped me expand my praise vocabulary AND deepen my understanding of God's character.
  • GiGi - In Reply - 2 years ago
    No problem Giannis, It is good to consider these things together.

    I just don't think this is a real cut and dry topic. I was reading up on this more last night after reading the replies here. Your mention of the souls under the altar in Revelation came to mind, which, if they do not have a resurrection body then, that gives credence to some of those who say our souls are separated from our bodies and are in heaven until the resurrection of the dead upon Christ's return. But then again we don't really know how much of Revelation events are actual or symbolic. Whether there will be "time" in heaven after all is said and done or not is uncertain. But, we shall see when we get there.

  • Brenda - In Reply on Ecclesiastes 9 - 2 years ago
    Singing songs of praise is one way of praising God. Also seek out things in your life and give thanks to God for them. The more you do these things the more comfortable you will become and your heart will open up to Him. Also confess to the Lord you need help in praising Him and He will help you.

  • Giannis - In Reply - 2 years ago
    I didn't intend to make a detailed sequence of events about our ressurection or grabing by Jesus Christ or which team of people ressurects first or second and when, as there are different opinions between Christians about those events. I just tried to give an answer to where souls go after the death of the physical body.
  • Candy - 2 years ago
    I am praying for a miracle to be done with my ex-husband. We are both still living in same house with four children. God is truly working in my heart to give everything to Him. We both are deeply hurt and in pain. My heart is heavy and I want God's best in our lives and to show others God's glory. I want very much to talk with him to tell him that with God all is possible and for my children to believe . We had so many attacks and caused confusion.

    All I can say is that leave everything to God.
  • Grae - In Reply - 2 years ago
    Hello Jernej . I don't believe that Christians r obligated to follow the laws of Moses . Please read the book of Galatians and also these verses might help u ; 2nd Kings Ch 5 especially V 18+19 , 1st Samuel Ch 21 V 1-6 . I believe that the true Sabbath is yet to come and it is the one thousand year reign of Christ on Earth , when we Christians that have been transformed and r like Christ , will live with Christ on earth as kings and priests and we will no longer do our own works but we will b working for God , Psalm 90 V 1-4 , 2nd Peter Ch 3 V 8 and Revelation Ch 20 V 1-7 . Also Hebrews Ch 4 . Finally Matthew Ch 12 V 1-12 . If u wish to follow those laws then that's up to u , try to remember what Christ did for us , he offered himself willingly as the perfect sacrifice for our sins because we cannot fullfil the law because we r all sinful , trust in the work that Jesus did for us , have faith in God's plan for Salvation and forgiveness through Jesus Christ His sinless Son . We r under grace . That doesn't mean that we can live our lives as knowing sinners , it means that when we do fail we r forgiven , and we all fail . Our Heavenly Father understands the struggles and dilemmas that we have to face in this world and He is full of love and mercy towards us . May God bless u with a good job that is good for u and your family and your faith .
  • John doe on Revelation 12 - 2 years ago
    so when we witness about Gods healing Power in how

    we are no longer wounded in our soul and spirit because of the

    Holy Ghost and Fire (FIRE) who has healed us of whatever rape hound did

    to us

    We have to hear and we have to listen to the man of sin or women of sin

    who has raped other victims in life and ask God to forgive them (YES WE DO )

    but we can tell them who they are and where they are going and if we can

    we can order the demons to speak and to tell their own soul what they really are inside of them (is this right)
