Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Romans 6:3.
Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
At that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you. John 14:19-20.
When Christ rose we came alive!!
We're in Christ and Christ dies no more.
God bless.
There are so many glorious attributes of the Lord! Sometimes I think that He is a great and glorious and precious Jewel, with many facets, and as we gaze at His beauty through the lens of Scripture, we are dazzled with the luster and beauty of every one of those facets!
Praise the Lord! He really is altogether lovely! Let us rejoice in Him always!
Prayers and blessings for a successful surgery tomorrow, and very speedy recovery!
Will you be home tomorrow when it's all done?
Thanks Brother, I love you too.
God bless.
Or...how many times, as I've read through the Bible, I find verses that I completely forgot were in the Bible..though I've read them many times!!
I agree with many who have said that there are NO 'stupid questions'. Asking is how we grow in wisdom and knowledge...so..it's all good! :)
Be blessed in your pursuit of growing in God's Word, Joe.
Again; somehow in all these arguments Elihu continues the incessant blaming of Job for some supposed wickedness in Him; the only difference being that he can't find any righteousness in his friends. Because of this; all of their former arguments aren't said to stick and make an impact. Ultimately; the enemy is trying every conceivable way to pin blame on Job. After this discourse; God Himself finally addresses Job with two stunning arguments which finally convinces Job of his unworthiness. Sometimes only seeing the glory of God convinces us; although it would be nice to think that the first response of sharing in silent grief for a week in his condition would have meant some compassion would have been extended during their discourses. Apparently not.
In the end; Job has to pray for his friends although mysteriously the last one here isn't part of the list; only the first 3 friends. In this prayer; he is forced to forgive them in his heart. This may not be mentioned; but it had to occur as a last step before the Lord restored his former blessings according to the character of God. His prayers couldn't have been genuine otherwise. We do well to remember in this era of prosperity; heath and wellness preaching to read this book and respect it as part of scripture. We also should expect to go through the fire; and not think it is strange going through it ( 1 Peter 4:12).
A person who has been born of God's Spirit has (Present Tense) eternal life. And that person will not suffer the second death. Thank you for sharing this!!!
Adding to previous great answers.
Faith is also a gift given by God's Spirit like the gifts mentioned by Paul in 1 Corinthians 12: 4-11. (pay attention to verse 9). So you can also ask the Holly Spirit to give you the gift of Faith.
GBU
Those are the letters of the ancient Jewish alphabet. Aleph is the respective of the Greek letter Alpha (English A), Beth of Betta (English B) and so on. They were used instead of numbers. So Aleph is 1, Beth 2 and so on
GBU
If you have been born of God's Spirit, you have all the faith you need. There is no such thing as a born-again believer not having enough faith. I say this because faith (spiritual faith) is not something we can produce. Faith is a fruit of God's Spirit ( Galatians 5:22).
It is God's Spirit in a believer's life that produces spiritual faith. We cannot produce spiritual faith no matter how hard we try. We sometimes try, and then we get frustrated, when in reality, all we can produce is flesh.
Something else to keep in mind is that there are two types of faith, human faith (Which everybody has), and the faith that the bible speaks of, which is spiritual faith. In our human effort, we can do things to increase our human faith, but we cannot increase spiritual faith. It takes God's Spirit to do that. Not everyone has spiritual faith because not everyone has God's Spirit. Again, we cannot produce spiritual faith, only God's Spirit can. When God gives us His Spirit, He gives us 100% of His Spirit. His Spirit in us produces faith, so we are never lacking in that type of faith because His Spirit is never lacking.
One other thing we need to know is that the word faith (PEITHO) literally means persuasion. That's what faith is. It isn't something we have to muster up ourselves because we can't do it. It is when God's Spirit in us persuades us to do His will. But it's His Spirit producing the faith (persuasion), because without the presence of His Spirit in our lives, we would have no spiritual faith at all.
So to answer the question "How do I gain faith?" The best answer I can give is to receive Christ, be born of His Spirit, and submit yourself to the persuasion of His Spirit in your life. What is He persuading you to do? Whatever it is, that is the answer. But there's no such thing as a believer (In Christ Jesus) not having enough faith. If you have Christ, you have all the faith you need. You have His faith. That's why the bible calls it the faith (of) Christ.
Colossians 4:2, Ephesians 3:20-21, Romans 8:26-28,
Psalm 57 kjv.
God, it is usual for something written down is meant to share with another person.
Often times, as I "free" write, (such as on here) I really do not know all of the direction of what I will write, nor sense it will make in the re-read. I think these are instances where the Holy Spirit is guiding my words to be cohesive, understandable, and honoring of our wonderful God. What a blessing to be used this way!
The last week I have wanted to initiate a post, but prior to today, I did not know what topic to write on. I am glad I was patient and waited on the Lord, seeing as you have been uplifted. God knew all about this ahead of time! We can know today that God orders our steps when we walk in obedience and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit.
Be blessed today, in Jesus' name, our great and glorious Savior, God, and King.
Please forgive everything "Donald Milledge", God bless us with all the spiritual blessing in the Heavenly world in Christ.
2 Timothy 1:7
It is a reminder of the Lord Jesus and what He did for us at Calvary. And we need and remember in unison in this. (If i could have decided when and where i would have taken it every time there had been a meeting). But I do not get it: p
For then all who came had been united in one spirit. Be blessed dear friend in Jesus Name, 2 Timothy 1:7
And - act on your faith. Faith grows in our obedience to God's Word. James tells us that 'faith without works is dead'. We SHOW our faith by walking in the good works that God has ordained for us to walk in, Eph. 2:10.
Blessings!
From what I understand, the answer is verse 17 b and 18 a, read together:
..."out of their mouths issued fire and smoke and brimstone.
18 By these three was the third part of men killed,"
The 'three', then, are the fire, smoke, and brimstone, which did so much destruction.
Blessings!
It's so good to have a Hope. When we hope for something we do not see, that is faith. On this page adress below you will find everything you need to get faith. Hope to see u again soon. :)

In these your thoughts on Psalm 139, I am reminded of Psalm 45:1, sensing that you and the writer there are activated by the same Spirit, Gigi...
"My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer." Surely your heart and pen have indicted a good matter, and you are a ready writer, and through it all, the Lord Whom you love has been glorified and honored, and we, His saints, edified!
You have been in my thoughts and prayers continually, dear sister; I hope you are recovering well, and that you fly through tomorrow's procedures like a bird on the wing! :)
Love in Jesus,
