My past life should have been over the day I was baptized into my new life with my Lord Jesus Christ!! I know that His love for me shall never perish!! I truly believe that Jesus Christ is God the Father in the flesh as He became man to us on the earth!! Do you really believe that the people in the Lord's day would have believed the He was God, ministering to them!!! Some believed right away, like Nathaniel, others weren't sure! Would I have believed if I was there? Mysteries of the Lord, things that are not written in His word for us to know just yet?? I hope I shall find out one day for I want to be with Him for all eternity!!! Dear Lord, I repent of my sins to you and must give you all of my life and all that I am to You! I was an unprofitable servant and did what I was told!! Someone whom I love reminds me that I am a slave in chains to You!!!! I shall Love You above all things in my life, for it will never mean anything without You!!! Please Lord, help me to be a mate to my man! Put us together, for I feel lost in heart and mind for him!! He's taken care of me for over 12 years and i still have troubles each passing day!!! I don't want our lives to be this way anymore!! Change me Lord, come whisper to me at night, tell me please how to fix this so we can be happy together!!!!! In Jesus Christ name I pray!!! Amen!

This is our humanity today and the times in which we are living in it is all in front of us and everthing written in the bible about the end times is being fulfilled. we must repent and pray without ceasing because the time is short before the return of our lord jesus christ. don't waste another day ask jesus christ our lord and master to come into your heart. amen brothers & sisters!!!!

And thats why we are given a prayer language: to keep ourselves in The Love of God;

intercedes to keep us on the right path; to outwith the enemy, even ourselves-flesh.

Lately i've been realizing how vital this gift is.

I feel at peace mostly when i'm reading the bible and staying home and in my garden.

but when i go to stores, like the grocercy stores etc, the grieving starts because of the music etc.

Jesus Rose from the dead, from the flesh to give us His Spirit (to help us, for comfort, for counseling (only He really knows what

we need) for guidance, and consolation.

Its very very special.

Its my treasure, my secret.

But on the other hand, the enemy wants to try to ruin it, or make fun of it

We are special (this is how i see it- what The Lord Jesus did for us on the cross

The Baptism of The Holy Spirit

The New Covenant with The Law written upon our hearts and minds by The Holy Spirit.

Only by The New Covenant or Baptism can we really keep the commandments.

The old covenant could not save them by flesh sacrifices, they tried and tried to keep the commandments,

but always fell away.

I got saved when i was in elementary school with mabel, we prayed to receive Jesus into my heart of which i really wanted to do, although did not fully understand the full meaning of what we were doing.

So went through junior and high school,etc. living just like everyone else (sinners just like everyone else around me).

Although inside of me, something wasnt right, and others too (either needing to get saved or saved).

and not being apart of a church full time.

but kept searching all the way to my early 20's.

It was when i was staying with my grandparents, Lee told me to got a certain church in az., so i went to the sunday school class

and it was about The Baptism and after the lady prayed over me, she said you are praying and i looked at her and while walking out a Heavenly Prayer language came pouring out.

Although i was saved as a little girl, i never fully obeyed, until I received The Baptism of The Holy Spirit.

When that happened all desire to go to the movies, watch certain programs, alcohol etc, and wordly music all went away.

He took it all away.

I have absolutely no desire to sin, i hate it.

Although there might/have been times where we get tricked or deceived or slip into something, Jesus helps us.

And i find that that is what causes the grieving or depression.

I am 54 years old now, and have had this gift now for over 30 years.

I find that the grieving and depression comes when we disobey, when i use to work in a salon with the music and stuff i was

always depressed, i know why now, it grieves His Spirit. The Holy Spirit was grieving in me.

We are to live differently now, by Faith, By His Spirit, His Ways.

And thats why we are given a

True. Isaiah 47 and Revelation 18 await America.

Just now read your response, thank you brother!

Jesus said we are the light of the world. Does light speak or reveal?

Many Christians here in the US have known financial prosperity, both a blessing and possible peril. Our prosperity can make us less dependent on the fellowship of like minded believers and more dependent on continuing to establish an earthly kingdom. Our pilgrim and stranger status is forgotten while our earthly rights are enhanced by certain leadership choices. Do we not want in due time a peaceful departure into eternity? Do we want to leave behind an imbalanced witness of our profession of Jesus as the Lamb of God who saved our souls and gave us peace or our methods of operational worldly interests? What is the value of our salt? Can we be the quiet of the land? Can we by the grace of God be stewards of worldly goods as though we have them not, this kind of stewardship brings a peaceful way and a quiet and happy life even in tribulation.

Good day,

Here is some extra meat regarding amen, it is the same word as verily. Many times Jesus spoke using this word when teaching, likewise we can speak with him as he speaks to us through His Word. Praise God!

I believe they went to Paradise, as Jesus told the thief on the Cross;

that asked Jesus to remember him, when Jesus came into His Kingdom.

Matthew 6:9-13 and a slightly abridged version in Luke gives us Christ's instructions in HOW we ought to pray. We have the honor and praise to God (fulfilling the First Commandment); and an example of seeking His Kingdom first and His will to be done-then asking for our daily provisions; forgiveness of sins (commission/omission) as well as forgiving others; asking to not be led into temptation; and being delivered from evil; and once again acknowledging God's authority (yours is the Kingdom; power and glory). Our prayers therefore are encapsulated in us verbalizing and meditating on God's authority and Holiness.

This by no means should be a ritualistic prayer. When we look at it; there really isn't any miraculous manifestation asked for in terms of healing; casting out demons; etc. But it needs to be the foundation of our lives so that our testimonies are genuine and we are living not for ourselves but for God. Clearly; we are NOT to pray as James states to satisfy our lusts ( James 4:3). There are times when we need to say God help! and clearly in a crisis life and death moment that may be enough. Trust in God's provisions despite external circumstances AND that the works that He has for us from before the beginning of the world ( Ephesians 2:10) are two major factors in a good prayer life. Obviously; discipline to listening to His voice; spending quality frequent quiet times in prayer and the Word are helpful as well. It is helpful to understand His will and also to rest in the fact that we have a High priest ever interceding for us ( Hebrews 7:25); and Romans 8:33. We all see through a glass darkly; but should seek to grow in maturity and wisdom.

Between the close of the Old Testament, was 490 years of silence from Heaven.

Then in Matthew and Luke, we see it is time for Jesus to come into the world.

Sorry this should have been with Judges 11 chapter...my comment on Anna.

Luke 2:36-38 does give us one example of a woman at the Temple (Anna) who devoted her life after her husband died to prayer. We could look at Hannah also; at least spending time there imploring God's favor. Just food for thought...

Isaiah 47 awaits America.

Hello Bobby,

I would suggest reading the Psalms to see how David began and ended prayers. In the New Testament, Jesus said that this is how we ought to pray,

Our Father, Who art in heaven; hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts (sins, trespasses) as you forgive our debts. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever. Amen. Matt. 6:9-13.

So, this prayer can be used as a framework for one's time in prayer.

I've mostly been enjoying your posts , however you do know that the things of this world are totally irrelevant don't you ? Christians , from all over this planet are spiritual Israel . Rev Ch 11 V 15 , Rev Ch 21+22 . This world is nothing compared to the Kingdom of God Num Ch 14 V 21 .

Psalm 83:5-8

5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:

6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

7 Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalek; the Philistines with the inhabitants of Tyre;

8 Assur also is joined with them: they have holpen the children of Lot. Selah.

God's enemies have risen up in America with one voice. The barbarian supporters of murder by abortion, sexual perversion by homosexual rights, theft by oppressive taxation, and other ungodly wickedness. There is no fear of God before their eyes. They mock God and persecute His children as if they will never face God to answer for their sins.

Good Afternoon, Grae.

I can see both explanations on this, but I tend to agree with you in that, if the verse states it, then I believe it to be true unless it is obvious allegory, imagery, or symbolic.

Hello. Gianna

This discussion reminds me of Romans 14:5-6 and Colossians 2:16 which speaks of not judging others as to whether they keep one day as holy or not, or celebrate some feasts or not. So to me, each person is free to celebrate unto the Lord as they are led to do. Celebrating Holy Week and Easter (as Resurrection Day) does not focus on pagan traditions but on our Lor's final week of life on earth, His death, and His glorious resurrection from the dead. At our church on Resurrection Day, the pastor loudly proclaims, "The Lord is Risen!" And the congregation lifts up a shout, "He is risen, !" That always captures my heart to praise Jesus as I affirm this great event. To have everyone in the congregation shout in unison is wonderful. So, I find this as bring done for the Lord, as Romans 14:5-6 says. And with Colossians 2:16 in mind, I do not judge others as to whether they celebrate this day or not.

But, I agree with you in that we do need to learn about the pagan aspects of celebrating Christian holidays and weed out those practices that give honor to anyone but our Lord.

Dear Lord Jesus, help me to grow in your spirit!! I have this stumbling block in my mind and heart! I can see past this if the Holy Spirit would come to me and set me straight on all things in life!! I have idols which the Lord Jesus hates!! Help me to see clearly!! Put the eye salve in my eyes, cleanse me with the waters of the heavens!!! I ask this of you my Lord Jesus Christ who is forever!!! Amen!!!

Gianna, many would agree with you, including me.

Yes, Gianna, also see John Chapter 9 where Jesus heals a man born blind and is asked if he was born blind because of the sin of his parents. Jesus replied that neither of his parents had sinned, but that the works of God may be revealed in the man's healing.

how does the bible say we are to begin and end a prayer thank you

In Romans 8;1 Why is the second half of the verse missing which reads as follows? Who walk not after the flesh but after the Spirit/ in new Bible versions?

Who has known the mind of the Lord for he is past finding out!! For he is good and his mercies are new every morning great is thy faithfulness oh Lord unto the Children of Men!! Who do not deserve your favor are the goodness of your benefits!! Blessed be the name of the Lord Yahweh yahshua hamashiach Elohim the Lord of our salvation

Numbers 25:4-5

4 And the Lord said unto Moses, Take all the heads of the people, and hang them up before the Lord against the sun, that the fierce anger of the Lord may be turned away from Israel.

5 And Moses said unto the judges of Israel, Slay ye every one his men that were joined unto Baalpeor.

This is a condemnation of modern churches that support wickedness such as abortion or homosexuality. God did not say "make friends with the ungodly" but, instead, 'totally condemn those that support wickedness promoted by ungodly rebels against God.'
