Thank you dear "S Spencer", for cleaning up the soup this was :) But we can hope that the Spirit of truth gives us revelations in time.

Here I must repent and ask for mercy. Since it is of course just a gift! But in the spirit we can have more services. According to what the Spirit gives each one. As God wills.

I think i was driven away from the Gift of the Holy Ghost when i shared the Mission Commandment that Jesus says in

Matthew 22:16 18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.

19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:

20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

John 16:5-15

Please forgive me. Love u all in Christ.

Dear "Giannis", Too bad you have not experienced a prayer life. Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.

11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.

12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;

15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.

John 16:5-15

Why was / is the Holy Spirit necessary for God's People?

And much more. How would you explain the text above?

Be blessed dear ones, remember that Jesus loves you and i love u in Christ.

Mathew, Mark and John write synopsis of the bible focused on the teaching of Jesus Christ, the rest of the writers in the New Testament appear to be addressing letters or giving council to specific areas of the Christian community. Am I correct?

Roy

I have been received some great guidance from people since I started using this app to read the bible after very many years of not even thinking about the bible in my life.

I am now intrigued as to how you would classify yourselves in terms of a denomination, as in roman catholic, Protestant, Methodist, Baptist etc,?

Where does my Father abide?

Dear see what I came across today! : D John 16: 5-15

God bless you in the holy name of Jesus Christ, stay happy. Jesus loves you.

Dear "Baruch", John:15-9 As the Father hath loved me, so have I loved you: continue ye in my love.

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.

11 These things have I spoken unto you, that my joy might remain in you, and that your joy might be full.

12 This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you.

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.

15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.

16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.

17 These things I command you, that ye love one another.

Put away from you all that is yours, and you will see the Lord coming. He takes your worries if you ask Him. Jesus loves u, i love u in Christ.

Romans 1 (read the whole chapter)

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to uncleanness through the lusts of their own hearts, to dishonour their own bodies between themselves:

25 Who changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshipped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever.

26 For this cause God gave them up unto vile affections: for even their women did change the natural use into that which is against nature:

27 And likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust one toward another; men with men working that which is unseemly, and receiving in themselves that recompence of their error which was meet.

28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient;

29 Being filled with all unrighteousness, fornication,(Adultery), wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, debate, deceit, malignity; whisperers,

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents,

31 Without understanding, covenantbreakers, without natural affection, implacable, unmerciful:

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them.

Mishael:

We all know God doesn't approve sinful behavior.

It takes Jesus Christ living inside the heart, to begin to change that heart. He's the only one who can.

Eventually your soul is so hardened, you can't feel anything inside. Every time you hear the gospel and Refuse To call upon Jesus; your hearing can't hear it, your heart becomes hard like a stone. God is still calling you, but you can't hear His voice anymore.

Death comes and all your lovers have left you. You face eternity alone.

Because you asked this question, shows you still have awareness of God who is still trying to reach you.

My wife is having an interview today please pray for her! Also pray for our marriage, we've been going through a lot!

Dear Arnold,

I just want to tell you that I know what You are talking about in feeling the hands on your shoulders. I have had this experience several times and both were at a time when God was leading me into a situation that I had to listen closely to the Holy Spirit and not myself and obey God in things that were hard for me to do and a bit scary. But I could not bear to not follow God's direction.

I will pray for you and your wife tonight.

Heavenly Father, Arnold and his wife are not equally yoked, Change this Lord, and bring his wife to faith in You soon. Cause her heart to yearn for You and seek You earnestly. Give Arnold the perfect words to speak to her to encourage her to turn to You and be saved. Lord, help Arnold to grow in faith. Bring to him believing friends to share time with and support him. We ask these things in Your name, Jesus. Amen.

Hi Giannis.

I read your reply to me through my email. I don't understand the issue.

But why didn't you send a reply to the poste?

You said this is a free lesson on Greek,

But then you said there is no need in studying Greek, just leave it as it is.

I barely know English, certainly not Greek!

I posted a friend's material but I'm not sure you and I are on the same page.

And I'm not sure you mean to be peaceful being that you didn't apply your knowledge to the person that poised the question so I pass on this conversation.

God bless.

1 Corinthians 12 is a chapter that gives examples of Spiritual gifts. Since they are spiritual and God given we didn't have them before we became believers. God seems to reveal our gifts to others more than to ourselves to keep us from being lifted up in pride. When we need encouragement he will have others tell us and sometimes it surprises us the people he uses to do it. A hinderance to us not using gifts, talents etc. is our perception of how they compare to other believers abilities. My dad had a quote "It is not your ability, but your availability". When Jesus delivered the ten pounds he simply said "occupy till I come". Take time for God and others and you will have a fruitful life.

Bring him to faith and a new life in You. We pray these things in Your name, Jesus. Amen.

what does the Lord say about comitting adultry. People are saying it is ok to commit adultry or it is ok to be gay , what does the bible say.

Hi Kay.

Mathew 24 is centered around Israel, and Israel is called Gods elect throughout scripture. also the early church did believe in the rapture. here's just a few.

Oregin.

"Those whom we spoke of as dead have special need of the resurrection, since not even those who are alive can be taken up in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air before the dead in Christ first rise. (Commentary on John, 20.233)

Rufinus of Aquileia.

"And do not marvel that the flesh of the saints is to be changed into such a glorious condition at the resurrection as to be caught up to meet God, suspended in the clouds and borne in the air. (Commentary on the Apostles' Creed, 46)"

Augustine.

"And why should it seem to us incredible that that multitude of bodies should be, as it were, sown in the air, and should in the air forthwith revive immortal and incorruptible, when we believe, on the testimony of the same apostle, that the resurrection shall take place in the twinkling of an eye, and that the dust of bodies long dead shall return with incomprehensible facility and swiftness to those members that are now to live endlessly? (City of God, 20.20)"

They had several different views as we do today, Some post-trib, some pre-trib.

Will share more on this later.

Goodnight and

God bless

Dear Marvin, I will pray for you tonight.

Dear Heavenly Father, we thank you for bringing Marvin out of the idolatry of Wicca. We ask that you preserve him from the evil that this false religion stirs up. Surround Marvin with Your protection from evil. We ask that you guide Marvin in his learning from the Bible and cause him to grow strong in his faith in You and in Jesus, our Lord and Savior. Give Marvin discernment as to which church congregation will be best for him. Lead him to a congregation that teaches rightly through the Scriptures and expresses sound. true doctrine of our faith. Bring him into fellowship with other Christian believers, especially bring him a strong, mature believer for a friend and mentor. Teach Marvin to worship You in Spirit and in truth by filling him with Your Holy Spirit that he may be led by the Spirit in all things and walk daily in obedience to You through the grace that the Holy Spirit brings to all believers. Father, we thank you for this opportunity to minister to Marvin through prayer. We ask these things of You, Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus. Amen.

Hi Ted. In 1 Corinthians 1:16, we read of Paul baptizing the household of Stephanas. Some use this verse to support infant or child baptism. Yet, we understand the core meaning of water baptism is that of identification with the act & merits of Christ's Sacrifice in the person's life.

If a child is at the age of having no consciousness of error, sin or right & wrong, then Believer's Baptism has no value. Consecrating a child to the Lord would have more significance (as Hannah of old did with the child Samuel). This act would imply both a giving back to the Lord for His Will to be done in the child's life & also an affirmation by the parents before God to give all due care & godly training to this precious gift.

Dear Smangele, I will pray for You tonight.

Heavenly Father, Smangele is seeking You for help in his career and day to day needs. We ask You tonight to cause Smangele to be successful in this career and prosper. We ask that You make a way for Smangele to move up financially out of poverty and into prosperity to meet his daily needs and those of his family. Keep Smangele well and able bodied to be able to continue to work for a long time to provide for what he needs. Give favor in his job and help him advance his skills so he can be promoted to a position with higher pay. We ask these things of You, Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus our Savior. Amen.

Dear Kathy, I will pray for you tonight.

Dear Lord Jesus, Kathy is seeking You and desires to walk in Your paths and Your will. We ask that You lead Kathy to the home and community that will be best for her and her family to live in. Protect her and her family from harm. We ask that You settle the legal matters in Kathy's favor. Lord, we ask that You bring an end to the trouble they are currently experiencing. Give Kathy discernment in all matters she is facing right now. Fill her with Your wisdom and assurance of Your will for her and her family. WE ask these things in Your name, Jesus. Amen.
