Sure will Gigi.

I pray all goes well.

God bless.

Dear John , may God bless you and your wife in all the ways that He knows you need His blessings most . May God keep you both safe and well and sane and cheerful and very close to each other and to Him . Through Jesus Christ I pray these things may be so for you two . Amen .

Fascinating post Alex . The living Word comes to life in us when we truly know our Saviour , when our hearts and minds become attuned to his and we allow him to dominate us , we sacrifice ourselves , our own lusts and desires to do what he wants us to do . We allow him to show us how to please him and do what is right in his sight all day every day . Thanks again Alex .

St. John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him. St. John 15:10 If ye keep my commandments ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments and abide in his love. I am not aware the Bible uses unconditional love unless it uses a different word. It does say God commendeth(introduce or exhibit) his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:8

Opinions' will not work. With the sacrifice of Jesus the physical kingdom ended. With the resurrection of Jesus the spiritual kingdom began. Which is what there is today a spiritual kingdom.

Beings how Moses and Elijah appeared with Jesus during the transfiguration where are they now? Also, where is this elaborated at in the bible.

There are 2 kinds of faith 1 comes by hearing the written word and the 1 comes by hearing his voice the living word...Faith by the written word just produces another Church member...The New Birth can only come by hearing the living word his voice...which is spirit and life not paper and ink...The written word answers to the lesser light but the living word answers to the greater light...As Jesus said SEARCH the scriptures in them you think you have eternal life but it is them that testifies of me which is the living word the H.G...But the living word is the seed of Christ Jesus that produces a spritual Child IN US...which is the H.G. that Child of PROMISE...When Jesus said i have a greater witness then John thats the H.G. the Child of Promise, the multiplication of Christ in US...Thus real Faith is like a spritual pregnancy that results in a birth of Christ in us...Thats y its the substance of things hoped for the Evidence of things not seen...which is our new innerman the H.G...Even in the natural when a woman is pregnant she has the substance of things hoped, the evidence of things not seen the fetus.

....But the woman cannot get pregnant unless she knows her husband thats when the seed is sown...Thats us we cannot get spritually pregnant unless he knows us...and his seed is the living word a living seed that wants to be sown in mans hearts intiating a birth of Christ in us...The Son of Man, Mankinds fruit unto God...that Child of Promise...Jesus said b/c i have spoken these words ( his words are SPIRIT AND LIFE MUCH GREATER THEN PAPER AND INK THE WRITTEN WORD ) SORROWS HAVE FILLED YOUR HEARTS..Then he said when a woman in in travail she has sorrows but after the Child comes her sorrows are turned into joy...and the joy of the Lord is the H.G that Child of Promise....Whosoever receives one such child in MY NAME receives ME...( in my name implies he is the Father of the Child )...But there is no ETERNAL LIFE in the scriptures per se only in the Living Words. gbu

Hi SimonPeter Masya. The apostle deals with a number of subjects in this chapter, beginning with how the Christian is to live in this world, i.e. not giving in to fleshly desires but living in the power of the Holy Spirit.

Then in verse 17, Paul moves from our special position as the "heirs of God & joint-heirs of Christ", into the area of Suffering. As Jesus said in John 16:33, we will have tribulation (sufferings) & persecutions ( John 15:20) in the world, the apostle now gives another dimension of these truths. He says that as Christ suffered & was glorified, so the promise is to us also ( Romans 8:17). In fact, our sufferings are temporal compared to the (eternal) glory which will be revealed in us. So, this matter of suffering doesn't come to Christians only, but all of creation is affected. All of God's creation of living things & the inanimate (of weather, earth's natural materiel, rocks & mountains, oceans, etc.), also suffer because of the corrupting effects of sin & the presence of Satan & his works that go on ceaselessly.

Therefore, all creation waits for the "deliverance from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God; groaning in pain" ( Romans 8:21,22). And not only those, but also believers are waiting for "the adoption, that is, the redemption of the body" ( Romans 8:23). As humans, we have never known what this world & life itself would be, a world without sin & its corrupting work - we only know that there are good times & bad times, of pain & sorrow & also joy, of life & of death - & we think this as a normal existence. But when we're taken away (our completed redemption), all the limitations & sufferings of life will be gone & our existence will be in a perfect state. We have a taste of that now with the Holy Spirit in the believer helping us to live beyond the tragedies in the world, but the day will come when all will be perfect, sin no longer having its grip. This was Paul's message of hope for every child of God.

none at this time

please pray for Kristie and me

What or who is El Elyon.

In reference to Romans 8:22-23

Christians are given a new spirit and nature when they are saved and that nature is a union of our spirit with the Spirit of God. But we also remain in earthly bodies that struggle with sin and sorrows, causing us to yearn for the day we will be delivered from our earthly bodies and given new sinless bodies to dwell in sinless heaven with God.

The very best way is to buy a Bible and read it . From Genesis to Revelation . Enjoy .

Will do Gigi .

What does the scriptures in Romans 8:22-23 mean?

Hello Taufusi. This passage takes us back to the actual time when Jesus & His disciples celebrated the Passover. You can read it in Matthew 26:17-30. In this passage, Jesus had prepared the heart of a particular man to give his home to Jesus & the disciples to eat the Passover. At this time of dining, Judas is identified as the one who would betray Jesus to the Jewish leaders; and they were eating this meal in memory of the time when the Angel of Death 'passed over' the Israelite homes that displayed the blood on the doorposts & lintels ( Exodus 12:1-14), so that they wouldn't suffer death as the Egyptians did with their firstborn.

During their meal, Jesus then took a portion of bread (flat bread as eaten in the Middle East & Asia), blessed it & broke it & gave to His disciples. Jesus was showing them that soon He would have to die & His Body broken (put to death) on the Cross. They would now eat it, looking ahead to that time when "Christ must needs have suffered" in death for man's sins & there was no other way for man to be saved & acceptable to God, except by the Cross.

Jesus then offered them the cup, saying "this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins" & to "drink all of it". Jesus' shed Blood on the Cross looks back to the blood the Israelites placed on the doorposts & lintel of their homes when they were in Egypt. For them, it meant avoiding death in their families - for us who have put our trust in Jesus, it means that we have passed from death & punishment for sins, to new life in Christ. The Blood also showed that it was special - not animal's blood to just shield them from God's Anger, but the Blood of God's Son that guarantees us a complete forgiveness, healing, & acceptance by the Father to all who come to God through Jesus.

The disciples ate this meal looking forward to the Cross - we eat it now looking back with thanksgiving for what God accomplished for us through His Son, until He returns for us.

I became a Christian in 1970.Shortly thereafter a minister encouraged me saying; "The most important thing for you to do is to get alone with God,read your Bible and know what it says."Best advice I have ever received in my life,I'm still not done praying or with reading my Bible yet,and plan to keep at it until I see Christ our Lord,I'd like to pass on the same encouragement to my fellow brothers and sisters in Christ.

Hello Doug. The Bible doesn't specifically deal with the subject of suicide though there are many verses to explore which can certainly help those who have reached the lowest ebb in their lives. I will share a few biblical examples of those who did suicide & also verses to encourage & give hope to those who have lost all hope.

Examples to read about: Judges 9:50-54; 2 Samuel 17:21-23; 1 Kings 16:15-19; Matthew 27:3-5.

Verses of encouragement: Psalm 6:6-9; Psalm 31:9-16; Psalm 33:18-22; Psalm 94:17-19; 1 Corinthians 10:13; 1 Peter 5:7.

Please pray for me & my job search - I found out today I might have an opportunity coming up in the next couple weeks - just a contract needs to be signed so please pray that happens. But still haven't interviewed & dont know yet if I have the correct experience for the job. Father, I pray its Your Will that this job will be a good opportunity for me & that the managers give me a chance. If I need training, please open the managers heart so they'll be willing to do that. Please help my trainer be patient & that we work together in a way that allows me to be successful. The job is very far so I will need a financial miracle so I can pay for gas. My mattress is very old & I don't get restful sleep. God, You need to send the Holy Spirit in the morning so I have the energy to get up. In Jesus name, Amen.

Hello, not sure what specifically you're looking for, but if you're a visual person you can browse verses like these: Link - I'm sure you can find verses by topic as well.

The love of God is unconditional.no matter how much we sin He is always at the door waiting for you to open it voluntarily.saying yes to God with all of our heart,mind and our soul.

Richard, Job was a righteous man. He loved God and he was humble in many ways. He suffered great losses and stood fast in his faith through it all. Even so, He needed a BIG dose of GOD to come to a better understanding of the God who made him, the heavens and the earth.

It is not a sin to need to have our thinking about God enlarged. We are but dust. But how wonderful for God to condescend to appear to Job and "school" him. God loved Job, but still needed some straightening out in order to go on into the blessing of God's restoration. Job story is inspiring and sobering at the same time.

God is very great, higher than we can ever imagine, too wonderful for words, beyond our ability to comprehend or describe. What He reveals about Himself in history and the Word is what we are given. He has revealed enough of Himself to mankind to for this life. The life to come will reveal so much more! We just cannot handle what He has not revealed yet in our flesh and blood state.

Good evening, tomorrow is my second surgery this week. My foot. Please pray for me. Appreciated

Christians need to grow in the Lord and for their faith to increase as mentioned in 2 Cor. 10:15. I mentioned humility as important for growth in the Lord. Humility and total submission and servitude to the Lord. I love the words of this hymn and agree completely with the intended message:

1

You have longed for sweet peace, and for faith to increase,

And have earnestly, fervently prayed;

But you cannot have rest, or be perfectly blest,

Until all on the altar is laid.

Is your all on the altar of sacrifice laid?

Your heart, does the Spirit control?

You can only be blest and have peace and sweet rest,

As you yield Him your body and soul.

2

Would you walk with the Lord in the light of His Word,

And have peace and contentment alway;

You must do His sweet will to be free from all ill;

On the altar your all you must lay.

3

Oh, we never can know what the Lord will bestow

Of the blessings for which we have prayed,

Till our body and soul He doth fully control,

And our all on the altar is laid.

4

Who can tell all the love He will send from above!

Oh, how happy our heart will be made!

Oh, what fellowship sweet we shall share at His feet,

When our all on the altar is laid!

Two main factors in growing in the Lord are prayer and Bible study. Romans 10:17 tells us that faith cometh by reading, hearing, and believing the word of God. Never stop studying the word of God as you seek your faith to increase.

Another important point in growing in faith is the need for humility. When the disciples asked the Lord in Luke 17 to increase their faith, He gave them instructions about humility.

5 And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.

6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.

7 But which of you, having a servant plowing or feeding cattle, will say unto him by and by, when he is come from the field, Go and sit down to meat?

8 And will not rather say unto him, Make ready wherewith I may sup, and gird thyself, and serve me, till I have eaten and drunken; and afterward thou shalt eat and drink?

9 Doth he thank that servant because he did the things that were commanded him? I trow not.

10 So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

There are 22 letters in the Hebrew alphabet. Psalm 119 is divided into 22 segments of 8 verses each, with a different letter of the alphabet titling each segment. Aleph is the first letter in the Hebrew alphabet.

We find the Lord in Luke 6 makes it clear that God is not interested in human claims of obedience to the letter of the law so much as He is interested in humans demonstrating a heart to love God and fellow sinners in fulfillment of the spirit of the law.

Elihu did not falsely or unkindly accuse Job of anything and God did not rebuke Elihu when He rebuked Job and his 3 friends.

666 is the number of the name of the beast, which is written in Revelation chapter 13 verses 17 to 18, and which is the number of a man, because we were made in the 6th day, and were made in 3 parts, the spirit, soul and body. We are dust, which is written in Genesis chapter 2 verse 7. Fasting is not eating or drinking, and if you fast after the order of Luke chapter 5 verses 33 to 39, no eating or drinking, you will increase your own dust and become how the Most High (Psalms chapter 91 verse 1) made you. We were lied to that fasting is not eating, but drinking, by the satanic elites (mostly Jewish, Jew ish because the Jew ish are not Israelites, which is written in Revelation chapter 2 verse 9, and Revelation chapter 3 verse 9), who lowered the dust of the Earth for thousands of years, and more than that, because the world is in an abominable being and the sun and moon rising and falling is altered by the dust of the Earth (sun rising is agitation/rapid dust production and sun falling is digestion/rest, in which dust is produced moderately).
