    Hello everyone, Peace we must remember that the Church preaches wrong too. So the spirit of the times is part of this. Countries that refuse to preach are also involved. Its not only wom/men.

    Then we have the churches that are scared of the spirit. They are afraid of working overtime. And then there are those who have already fallen asleep. But Paul says: Awaken the gift that is in you!

    So where there is fear of man because no one has let in the Holy Spirit. Prayer and intercession are needed there. Let us hope that God enables his people. We can not preach unbelief, But FAITH,we can not even tell that we do not understand. Unfortunately, people have forgotten that in the Spirit we do dear have, a heart that understand everything!

    For the management does not open up. Therefore, all newly saved are simply set aside instead of inviting them to the witness box :) In this way, the congregations everywhere would be encouraged, be awakened to live again. There is all evil where there are those who believe that they are doing a proper and orderly service. Where it is not open: It is closed, unfortunately. We gather but are not united in Christ Body. Where is it?

    Now if it is the case that many do not dare to stand up in meetings and gatherings, that they have the finest prayer times with the Lord at home in their chamber, or? Maybe we should sell these big church houses and go back to house meetings. With song and play in close relationship. Maybe the family would be saved and baptized again as in ancient times :). That is a big responsibility. For a pastor can not reach everything, the pastor must distribute the gifts, he does not, the congregation dies out and he himself is burned out. It does not serve any benefit. Remember it is the pastor who decides this. The teacher is involved in this. And most of all do not say that it is human error. They are quite innocent.

    Stay blessed all of us that want too follow Jesus. John 11 and 12 Chapter. Love u all in Christ.

    Dear "Sunshine", Corintihans 13:1 Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

    2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.

    3 And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing.

    4 Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,

    5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;

    6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;

    7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

    8 Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

    9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part.

    10 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away.

    11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things.

    12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.

    13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

    God bless us all withe everlasting Love in Christ.

    A closer reading of the text showed that the "dung" was to be used to cook v12 the bread not as part of the mix or receipe v9. In v12 the LORD told Ezekiel to use dung "...that cometh out of a man..." Ezekiel protested unto the LORD, that he never ate any food defiled or polluted since his youth. v14 The LORD told Ezekiel to use the cow's dung. v15. The LORD knows HIS own dietary rules for Israel. It was to show the poverty and humiliation brought about by unrepented sin.

    Usually during a prolonged siege, the live stock would have been eaten and there fore no more burning fuel. The picture the LORD was trying to show was the total desolation, poverty and humiliation that their sinful ways had brought about. Restrained and helpless before God and His coming judgment.

    Praying for the saints that we rise up and stand in the GAP for lost, and carnal believers; we make up the hedge for our country and our leaders.

    The LORD whom I serve is the GOD of Scripture.

    "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

    For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts..." Isaiah 55: 8 - 11.

    My GOD is not willing that any one should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 2 Peter 3:9

    Jesus said - I am the way, the truth and the life: no man cometh unto the Father but by me. John 14: 6

    May GOD shine HIS face upon all who have not trusted in the HIS Son, for their salvation.

    Thank YOU LORD for answer to prayers and for the blessings we receive.

    We shouldn't think that Isaiah was nude, completely without clothing. Instead, he only wore the inner garment customary in that day - sort of like wearing only your underwear or a nightshirt. The message wasn't nudity, it was complete poverty and humiliation. Isaiah dressed as the poorest and most destitute would dress.

    i. "One need not imagine that Isaiah walked around stripped for the entire three years or that Ezekiel lay on his side for 390 days without getting up ( Ezekiel 4:9). Perhaps part of each day was used for those designated purposes." (Wolf)

    ii. "Not stark naked, but stripped as a prisoner, his mantle or upper garment cast off." (Trapp)

    Praying for Republicans to take power to save us from ungodly Democrats is folly. Both sides are sowing and reaping violence and lawlessness now and justifying it in service of politicial ambitions. Love is growing cold.

    Factionalizing the church along worldly political power divides that demonize one side in blind service to the other is the last thing it needs. What is needed is repentance.

    Hebrews 10:24-25

    24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.

    Hello Donald,

    Unfortunately, The Catholic Church teaches that Mary is a mediator and co-redemptrix with Jesus. Many Catholics pray to her and expect answers to their prayers as well as having her intercede on their behalf. This teaching goes against the Bible that says that there is one mediator between God and man, the Lord Jesus Christ. ( 1Timothy 2:5). I pray for Catholics to give up their devotion to Mary and instead become totally devoted to God in Christ Jesus.

    i feel like rebutalling my own comment's lol, weird to see such a statement, gots to be a first, somehow..

    anyway's, uhmm, i would like to impart the book of James, which talks about work's alot..

    i agree with James, and God, because, if God sees fit, for everyone to have a fair chance at Life

    and in the mind of God, clearly, day by day, plentious opportunities, to get to know Him, somehow, someway

    and a person still stubborns their own heart and will, and refuses, for whatever reason, (pride being #1)

    most likely, not wanting too look stupid in front of people, or whatever, a person refuses to humble themself

    than i don't know, you know, maybe what is written is written, and child-like Faith, is that precious to God

    where God in His wisdom, sees the simplicity of Faith, and the avenue of receiving it's pardon, not being too

    hard in reality, just simply to humble yourself, before God and man, somehow and in someway, maybe such

    a person deserves damnation, i guess, i don't really know, you know, maybe the Mission of the Gospel, afterall

    if such be the reality, is a Grand Mission, to be pursued afterall than, that is, too say, IMPORTANT, and has unique

    inner working's of intricate measures of varying degrees of importunity to WAKEN a person out of the slumber of sin

    and the death course it's on, and it's many avenues of death course, that is, love of money, self, and pleasure and

    the vast many other categories, (These are just CATEGORIES, mind you..) that exist, such as lust of eyes, flesh and pride..

    maybe the MISSION is a mission afterall, too "PREACH" in such a Way, that awaken's people out of the deadness of self,

    into the NEWNESS of LIVING FREE, and GIVING FREE, and REJOICING FREE, in the knowledge of HEAVEN, and the Disturbance

    of the dead soul in the hopes of the awakened Spirit of God upon them, to Hearken unto the Call too be Reborn, such be a

    reality, unto Eternal Life and out of Eternal Damnation, aiy, it just seems too Harsh and Strict...

    Zephaniah 1:14-18

    14 The great day of the Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord: the mighty man shall cry there bitterly.

    15 That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick darkness,

    16 A day of the trumpet and alarm against the fenced cities, and against the high towers.

    17 And I will bring distress upon men, that they shall walk like blind men, because they have sinned against the Lord: and their blood shall be poured out as dust, and their flesh as the dung.

    18 Neither their silver nor their gold shall be able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's wrath; but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of his jealousy: for he shall make even a speedy riddance of all them that dwell in the land.

    There is trouble coming and it will not go well for those who have not lived their lives in faith and obedience to God. America the Great will be destroyed and all the wealth it currently has, along with all nations on earth.
  • Marke - In Reply on Proverbs 17 - 3 years ago
    Good post Kay. The biggest problem with the modern church is that, like the church of Laodicea, Jesus stands on the outside and not inside of so many hearts of those who participate in its ongoing work in the world. In other words, many if not most Christians in today's church are not even saved.
  • Slavik - In Reply - 3 years ago
    i don't know, just something random thought's i've had over time...

    as the Old Testament say's, if there is a prophet among you, i will reveal myself to him in a dream or vision..

    and i've sorta had one... it was kinda like a dream and a vision.. to be honest, as far as i remember..

    it was year's back..

    it was the NAME JESUS, in vivid white letter's, and it was powerful, and it was conveying that He would save everyone, somehow someday, in what way i am not too sure, but it's not exactly in connection with Revelation, so maybe it's something to shy away from, but just kind of going out on a limb here obviously, and sharing my thought's, as i've have been a Bible thumper of the original 66 books for a long time now, and am interested to find out what the Catholic Bible and other Texts have to say, such as LDS scriptures and so forth..

    i don't know, just thought i'd share some random stuff, while at the same time, not trying to disobey, add or take away from these word's, God will take away his share from the Tree of Life, not trying to do that either, so go figure the crucifying thought's of my mind as to how to share why i wrote what i wrote about John 3:37,

    there's alot more to share...might as well, since it's simply Bible talk, and relative i guess, but in no-wise, trying to make anyone lose their salvation or my own, but sharing beyond what is written, simultaneously, confused about the inculcation's of dictation's of men that would enclose themselves to strict rigid religion, but simultaneously, call themselves Free in Christ, just the paradox is crucifying to my mind as to how to understand or dichotamize what is Ok and what's not as a Christian..

    so here is the rest of the Vision, that i had..

    God would die for the most Wicked one day..

    Jesus died for the Church, the Zealous and in Love with Him, Jesus freak's you can say..

    and the Holy Spirit would die for the angel's spirits that fell from Heaven

    and thus as written in Colossians 1, all would be
  • Adam - In Reply - 3 years ago
    I agree that we are seeing more and more signs of end times. Bible gave us warning signs for a reason. Yes, we should evangelize while we can with those who seem open to it. It's not everyone's gift, some feel ignored and don't feel listened to. If I yelled fire in a building I'm not sure many people would care or respond. Somehow it depends on WHO is shouting it to have credibility and whether the recipients are OPEN to it.

    So, while we should be prepared and do all we can I believe we are supposed to put all our trust in God that He is in control. It's very hard seeing society unravel before our eyes and turn to lies and evil. Very difficult to see things appear to go backwards, but I trust that God is watching and that someday justice will be served for all the evil. It's unfair to have so many innocents trampled on by self entitled people who think they're on high moral ground and woke. This false religion will someday crumble fast. I'm probably not the best person to offer help to anyone on this subject because I'm quite disturbed by what I see every day. I've never seen so many lies told and people no longer seem ashamed of blatant lies told in the media and by the white house.

    I like Ray Comfort's evangelism videos on YouTube and think if everyone tried to learn his techniques it could drastically help evangelize the lost.
  • Adam - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Hello, I did a search and found you are probably referring to John 14:6.

    The KJV translates it "life." If you check the Other translations you can see that its always been translated that way since 1611AD so over 400 years. So, if you want it to say something else it cannot be KJV.

    Why do you want it to say something else?
  • Johnathan DiGangi - 3 years ago
    We should not fret for what is past, nor should we be anxious about the future, men of discernment deal only with the present moment. The moment all discipline seems painful rather than pleasant, but later it yields othe peaceful fruit of righteousness to those who have been trained by it. Train up a child in the way he should go. A good name is better than riches train.Which things we speak, not in the words, which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth, comparing spiritual things. Discernment is God's call to intercession, never to faultfinding. We need discernment in what we see and what we hear and what we believe. On the lips of him who has understanding, wisdom is found, but a rod is for the back of him who lacks sense.

    Though I go unto thee & proceed the mouth of my natural tongue through Jesus Christ. At the time of Apostle Paul, there were false prophets deluding people. I believe in making action is apart of believing in your TrueSelf.

    Now that he was ascended down in this place, you are recused, redeemed, restored and forgiven. We are unto thee, the body of Christ. For God said he will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed. It shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. Redemption through his blood is the forgiveness of our sins. In thy accordance with the riches of God's grace, Jesus is called our Redeemer. The fulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ, designed to bring about man's immortality and eternal life.Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy.

    When Adam transgressed in the garden, he sold mankind into slavery lock, stock and barrel. Since that time, humanity was held hostage by the kingdom of darkness. It was a hopeless situation because the only way to undo what had been done was for mankind to redeem or ransom what was lost. God commanded the Israelites to reject all the canaanite practices of divination. So lets be one in it.

    My dear beloved Rachel needs a breakthrough. She is very anxiety-ridden over the post results of surgery. She is overwhelmed and troubled by many things. Her health, her children, the settling of the previous chapter of her life, the trauma that she endured from her previous marriage. All have caused great distress that has caused her to close up in many ways. Even towards us, our love, our passion and attraction for one another. She needs a breakthrough! We need a breakthrough!
  • Adam - In Reply on John 3 - 3 years ago
    In original texts there weren't numbers, so as a convenience they were numbered by verses to make it easy to reference and study. I believe some translations group some verses differently than others. I don't believe it's a matter of anything "missing" but a matter of organization. Sometimes when you see something "missing" it may appear in the previous verse. That is my opinion. God bless.
  • Adam - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Hi Marie,

    I can offer my opinion. Jehovah is God's name. Psalms 83:18. So, that's unfortunate that you have negative connotations with His name. His name was first by a wide margin and only recently the cult JW used His name. But just because a cult uses His name doesn't mean His name is bad. That would be sad. Lots of deceptive false teachers like to use manipulative names to make what their doing sound less bad and I don't think we should give into it. I like God's name and I wont let some small group of false teachers to prevent me using God's proper name. That is my opinion. God bless.

    The End of Days,

    It took you longer to see the tidings, but you are coming around. Before, and for the past year, you denied what you now are saying to be truth. That goes to say that only God can show you the way, when your time comes.

    God says the day of the Lord attack is "UPON MY PEOPLE". Ezekiel 21:12 God calls the northern tribes "Israel", the lower 3 tribes, "Judah" America, from its origin, is a co-birthright tribe, son of Joseph, Genesis 48 The same attack is also portrayed against Mystery Babylon, so if you are weighing the end-time narrative out, you'll see that Mystery Babylon (and it's allies) = Israel = America. Judah is invaded, Joel 3:1, at the same time America falls.

    America was envisioned as a shining star for the nations, but its star has fallen. The woman, America, became a whore, unrighteous, fomenting modern day Sodom and Gomorrah, the antithesis of what God intended. Therefore, God brings forth Russia to destroy them, Isaiah 47 This coming attack is similar to when Assyria took "Israel" captives in 721 BC, or "Judah" being taken by Nebuchadnezzar in 604 BC.

    Noah escaped the flood in a boat, Lott was rescued from Sodom and Gomorrah, the Israelites in Egypt covered their doorways from death. It is America that the beast Russia destroys within 1 hour, and the only cure is to leave. You have been warned to not partake in her plagues, Revelation 18:4, you have choice. The next big event is Revelation 6:14, the "scroll". If you know what's coming afterwards, it's up to you to prepare an exit.

    Denise,

    Genuinely I am so sorry to hear about this loss of life and the pain, grief and separation that your families are experiencing.

    I pray that our Father through His Holy Spirit come unto your family to provide strength, love, healing and closeness. I pray in the name of Jesus for Him to flood the hearts of each family member with His presence. To become the foundation of each from this day forward. May the grief of your family be placed into His hands.

    May His hands support and carry you through these troubled waters.

    May God Bless and Keep your family.

    We are all here for you.

  • Kay - In Reply on Proverbs 17 - 3 years ago
    Quite a few years ago now, I had the blessing of hearing a sermon by a 97-year old preacher from the UK named Arthur Burt. In it, he explained that the problem isn't the world. Sinners behave the way they do because they aren't saved. The issue God has is with those who profess His Holy Name.

    The condition of the visible church (generally speaking), is very sad; there is such greed, flattery, self-love, such competition, idolatry, worldliness, secret sin and even open sin; there is compromise; there is adding to the Word of God and there is taking away from it.

    There is, in manifold cases, an adulterous union between the church and the state. We say, "God and country" ...but that is false. God has declared that He alone is God, and BESIDE HIM there is NO other. Sometimes I'm tempted to believe that people put the Bill of Rights on par with, if not above, the Bible!

    The salt has lost its savor. The church has not been the preserving influence in our society it should be.

    It is written, "If MY people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, THEN will I hear from heaven, and forgive their sin, and heal their land."

    But where are the prayer meetings in which people are weeping between the porch and the altar, in travail, in intercession, in fervency and in earnestness?

    Where are the prayer meetings where we cry out for God's will to come and be done, for His Spirit to be poured out, instead of just praying for our wants?

    Where is biblical separation in the visible church? So many are so much like the world, they are almost hard to be distinguished from each other! I've have been saved almost 40 years, and have seen so much not only in our country, but in many other places in the world, and the case of the visible church is desperate.

    The church, not the world, is the real problem; this is why we are under the rod of God. The problem is a spiritual one, not a natural one.
