    Thank you Gigi for your kind words and for your prayer. God has been so merciful to me, while I haven't been serving him with all my heart.He is still there, and I don't deserve that. Thank you for reminding me of His faithfulness and His love. I'm going to draw near to Him

    Thank you for sharing this. I've been saved for almost two years now, and I've been struggling a lot with my flesh. I've been walking by my sight instead of faith. It doesn't matter what I'm feeling because feelings change, but God remains the same and His Word is always true. May I lean on God instead of my feelings.
  • Joleen - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Thank you for sharing these verses, it was very comforting. There is hope because of God, and we're not forsaken. I have to keep working to overcome my flesh, to rely completely on God.

  • Gods Idea of Sabbath - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Not everyone's life and work shifts are the same (these days in history). If we read what God says in Genesis and Leviticus, we can understand the importance.

    Importance to gather together as a group and worship the God that we love so much. He wants us to be there in a group to love on each other and comfort those who are beat down by life.

    Sometimes a "hi how are you, and a holy hug" will really make someone else feel they can get through another week of trials, they are dealing with.

    Jewish culture is somewhat different than American culture. Israel is a much smaller country. Not spread out like the USA, or Europe or elsewhere. I think we can be a community as a church and teach outward to those who live in it. Everything about God is showing family and community strength.

    I'm reading the Bible "through" the lense of Gods Will for us: community that outreaches families in that community.

    We live in a culture now, that is accustomed to using SOCIAL MEDIA, to touch friends or people who share our particular beliefs. Online life is not the same for everybody.

    Bottom line: as God says, we work 6 days and the 7th Day is Sabbath. We work within the Known Will of God.

    Love one another as I have loved you__what is so difficult that we cannot work that into our routines? It pleases God when we do that.

    When I was working, I would bake awesome chocolate chip cookies 1 day a week. Wrap them in aluminum foil with a mini bow on it. Pray: "come and taste the goodness of the Lord; in Jesus Name". I always got to work early because of traffic. I put them on peoples desks. They knew I did it. :)

    Try to touch people and include them in your joy of being God's child. We are His Church, and I think that Church is everywhere the soles of our feet go. "GO YE" into all of your world. Externalize; Not internalize.

    Please read: Numbers 14:18, Numbers 14:19, Deuteronomy 7:9, 2Peter 3:9,



    Numbers 20:7-12, is a portion of the whole story & reason.

    Let's look at the bigger picture:

    Numbers 20:12, please note it says "Because you believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore._._" , Please read Exodus, Moses' doubts: Exodus 3:11,13, Exodus 4:1,3,10,14, Exodus 4:24-26, Exodus 5:22, Exodus 6:12, Exodus 6:30, Exodus 14:11-15, Exodus 16:2-28, Exodus 17:2-7, Exodus 32:11-19,30,31,32,33, Exodus 33:1-3, Numbers 11:1-15, mercy ( Numbers 11:16-20,) Numbers 11:21-23, * Numbers 13, Numbers 13:30,31,32, * Numbers 14, very significant I believe, when they were supposed to take the promised land please read Numbers chapters 13 & 14, & notice: Numbers 13:30, Numbers 14:24, Numbers 14:22-23,

    Psalms 95:6-11, note Psalms 95:10-11,

    Hebrews 3:5-19, Luke 13:24, Mark 10:15,

  • Lukethebaptist - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other, for there is none other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. Philippians 2:9-11 Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him and given him name which is above every name: that at the name of JESUS every knee should bow of things in heaven, and things on earth, and things under the earth: and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.

    First of all, I believe the trinity. Yahweh or adonai or whatever nonsense that is, is not found in the king james bible. If people do not get the saviours name right, I doubt their salvation. Every person I know that uses the name yeshua does not believe in eternal life. The devil attacks the name of Jesus more so than any name and has put all these other false names out there to confuse people. God is not the author of confusion.
  • Lukethebaptist - In Reply - 3 years ago
    I agree with you that the nations of this world are totally unjust and will get the wrath of God to the uttermost. The reason I made that original comment is because I always admire God's law and esteem all its precepts to be perfect. When I was in school, I thought our country's supreme law of the land, the constitution, was great but then when I got saved and read the Bible, the constitution is foolishness compared to how righteous the law of God is. The wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. I do not trust our wicked and awful government to execute people because 10 or so years ago a federal law was put in place to never execute pedophiles again and with all the coronavirus vaccine passports. Its amazing how many christians who profess to believe in the bible but do not believe in Romans 1 and what the bible says about the sodomites. A church in fort worth, texas just got evicted because they preached to hard on the sodomites. Jesus said the last days would be like the days of Lot.
  • Lukethebaptist - In Reply - 3 years ago
    What about in Leviticus 24 when the son of an Israelitish woman blasphemes God and the congregation of Israel stones him with stones? Are you altogether against the death penalty? Jesus taught the death penalty in Matthew 15:4 which is a direct commandment from Leviticus 20:19. Paul taught the death penalty in Romans 1:32. Yes, For God so loved the world... and Christ died for everyone but that is besides the point. The book of Psalms goes on a tour de force on hating God's enemies and evil reprobates. I am a legalistic because Romans 3 says we establish the law and all of God's laws are altogether perfect. If you are totally against killing people, I would say that is some eastern mysticism, not biblical christianity. There is a time to kill and a time to heal. We could have an AIDS free world by tomorrow.

    My interpretation of the rich young ruler passage of course convicts me of my own hypocrisy and need to repent. Christ is making it ever clearer to me I can't trust in wealth and continue loading up a camel with goods that won't fit through the eye of a needle. Even though Christ says all things are possible with God, I take that as hope that there is still time to repent rather than encouragement to continue loading up the camel. Also, Christ promises that the things we lose for His sake will be restored in greater measure in this life and the next; however, all of it comes only by trust in Christ and His Father. I must always remember in this life that I am not an owner, I am only a steward who will only be trusted with my own wealth if I am faithful with the little portion of God's wealth I have been entrusted with here.

    I also need to be increasingly more responsive and trusting like the little child Christ called to himself. Getting into the kingdom of heaven by conversion as a little child is not all there is to gain by becoming more and more like a little child in humility each day God's mercies are made new for us. The riches of Christ's wisdom and the fruits of the Spirit must increase and are only available to little children that wait on their Father.

    I am also beginning a journey of volunteering and learning how to love the poor in the communities where I live and work and not disregard, despite or neglect them or think of them as somebody else's problem and not part of my calling. If I can truly see them as my neighbors and learn ways to show His love to them and share His gospel with them, He says He will see me responding to His needs in response to His voice as His sheep. I never would have even thought to do that if hadn't learned to humbled myself like a child homeless on the streets to receive the love Christ showed me when I was a beggar.

  • Donna - In Reply - 3 years ago
    I am praying for you again today. I'm praying that God will make a way for you and the kids. I hear exactly what you're saying I've been where you are. I know all the elements that are involved. I pray that God will speak to your heart and whatever God tells you to do, just do it. Step out in blind faith and believe God. And He will take care of you. He will. Thank you for letting us pray with/for you.

  • MUKIIBI MUSA - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Thank you for information guided to me, I thank all those who have reacted praying for me. I appreciate a lot. No doubt God understands and reacts accordingly. Once you abide by his command, he will comply on what you ask him.

    I use this opportunity to ask him, may he forgive us our sins we committed since our dates of birth to date. May he forgive us our parents sins, patternal and maternal anchestral mistakes, clan and traditional acts that were performed on our interest, those which were done knowingly or unknowingly. Intentionally or unintentionally. Those we met by the way, even the evils that were sent to us, some by our relatives wives n girl/boy friends, even workmates, unwell wishers, the jealousy. Fire. We forgive them and forgive ourselves. Forgive our family members and give them Deliverance. Solve our problems and ease our leaving in Jesus's name.

    Throu The Blood of Jesus Christ Holy Spirit, heal us earliest with your love. Deliver us from evil to ashame the devil I pray.

    Good night, good time.

    Joleen please I'm begging you just hold on to the Lord with all your might and don't let go!

    You're being sifted! Satan desires to have you. I can testify to you that he will destroy you and your family if you give up. Jesus will be there to refresh and restore you at the end of this trial. Just PLEASE, don't let go! Do your best to read your Bible. Stay in church. Stay on your knees. I will put you on my prayer wall at home. I'm praying for your family. For your dad. He's discouraged. Try to encourage him and don't take it personal when he lashes out. Just pray!

    31And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat: 32But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.

    Mark 10:13-16 and Matthew 18:1-14 are two different occasions on which Jesus used actual little children to teach his disciples that they must become like children if they want to enter the kingdom of heaven and the importance of actual little children to Jesus and His Father.

    In Mark's case the disciples rebuked parents to hinder them from bring their little children to be blessed by Jesus, and Jesus rebuked His disciples. In Matthew's case the disciple wanted to know who was the greatest in the kingdom of heaven and Jesus called a little child to Himself to teach them.

    From Matthew 18:4 we learn the greatest in the kingdom of heaven humbles himself as that little child did when he that came to Jesus' call. The child's response was unquestioning, trusting and innocent. In Mark 10:17-31 we get the account of the rich young ruler that wanted to be justified. He claims to have kept the commandments since his youth, but knew he still lacked something. Jesus loved him, but when Jesus gave him the call to sell all he had to become rich in heaven and to pick up the cross and follow Him, he walked away disappointed. He was not a child of God, since little children don't possess anything under their own authority, they must get everything from their father. The rich young ruler chose the visible wealth he gained from his earthly father and his own initiative over the unseen, but far more valuable, wealth offered by being a born again follower of Christ and His Father. The disciples were astounded by this requirement, even though they had pretty much done what he asked when He called them. They must have still been holding on to some hope that earthly wealth and power like the rich man had would be part of the future Christ would bring them. It wasn't until they finished carrying the cross and received their riches in heaven as Christ did. The health and wealth gospel is not taught by Christ. The crucified and poor gospel is the narrow way to eternal life.

    Jesus suffered and died on the cross for our salvation, if I may suggest that you read Hebrews chapter 10 and it explains the necessity of Jesus dying on the cross.

    John 19:19, Matthew 27:40-42, Mark 15:30-32, 1 Corinthians 1:18, Hebrews 12:2
  • Rod - In Reply - 3 years ago
    I believe that this would be the passages your thinking of.

    Numbers 20:7-12, 10"And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?" 12 "And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them."

    Somebody made a comment about there not being any corn in the east. I came across a factoid on the Internet that said Back in Jesus day they called their wheat corn. So it would have been wheat that they were talking about in the Bible not corn as we know it now in this day and age. Don't take my word for this but Study it out on your own. I recommend going and searching the word "corn" in the Hebrew. And searching ancient Israeli history.

    I feel like I must add that I am not a Seventh-day Adventist.

    I am a nondenominational Bible believing Christian who has always attended a Sunday service. We had Saturday services too but did not honor God on the Sabbath by resting and refraining from doing our own will. I do lean heavily on the Pentecostal side Because I believe in the gifts of the spirit as the Bible teaches them. I believe in being lead of the spirit and worshiping God in spirit and truth.

    I don't know everything about the Seventh-day Adventist church I don't know anything really except for they believe in worshiping on the Sabbath. And keeping the Sabbath holy, I assume.

    Respectfully,

    I am a little nervous personally about putting any stock into Ellen White's prophecies because I don't know if she was a true prophetess. But even if she was I would not build my doctrine on her prophecies.

    The Bible is my doctrine. My only doctrine. The Old Testament and the New Testament that's my doctrine. Anything outside of that is not my doctrine. I just wanted to clarify that. I am not putting anybody down I'm just clarifying.

    Sunday worship has always felt a little weird to me for some reason I don't know why because like I said nobody has ever taught about the Sabbath in any church that I have attended. I would like to find a Bible only church that believes in worshipping on the Sabbath. Because that's what Jesus did. He always set an example for us. He was in the temple on the Sabbath teaching and worshiping. I don't know everything but I am studying it. And trying to work out my own salvation with fear and trembling.

    It's also a commandment. And I believe we should honor all of the Ten Commandments. And try to keep them.

    Dear D.

    I stand with Donna in prayer and with Adam in his advice. I pray that the Lord will show you how and when to leave this situation safely. I pray for the Lord to do a miracle in your husband's life. But because he has broken your marriage covenant by covering his family with violence, you are no longer bound to remain with him. He and God will work out the change needed in him. But for you and your children, it is probably best for you and the children to get away from this man and trust God to establish you in a different way of being a family without this man as a husband. There is a lot at stake, especially for your children. The effects of abuse (even viewing it) can be long lasting in children, affecting them emotionally, mentally, relationally, and spiritually as well as physically. So, as a mom who loves her children dearly, take advantage of all of the doors that God opens for you to leave this situation. I pray that God's directions to you will be so clear and compelling that you will know exactly what to do.

    Keep us posted, please.
  • GiGi - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Dear Joleen, I am so sorry that you are feeling this way. It must feel awful to be in this spiritual doldrums day in and day out. Please remember that Jesus said He will never leave us nor forsake us. So, believe that He is with You now. Also He said that God is faithful even when we are faithless. So, remember to trust in His faithfulness. He also said that He came to bid up the brokenhearted. So, give your heart over to Him for repair. He also said that God chooses those who are His. So, rest in the knowledge that God has chosen you for Himself. He also said, draw near to God and He will draw near to you. So carve out time to meet with Him without distractions (even if it is five minutes) and enjoy His Presence near.

    I will pray for you today. Dear Lord Jesus, we lift up Joleen to you today. She is You is feeling distant from You and her interest in growing in You is low at this time. Spark Your fire in her through the Holy Spirit to empower her to seek You and call on You for help and comfort. Fill her with the oil of Your joy. Draw her to call on You in prayer. Satisfy her with truth from Your Word. Strengthen her faith and lead her in her walk of faith. Lord Jesus, we affirm that Joleen belongs to You and that Your love has set her free from sin and unbelief. Help her to walk by the Holy spirit who lives within her. Lift up her spirit to praise You and have a thankful heart for all You have done for her. We are so glad she is Your child and a sister in You. Bless her richly today. We ask all these things in Jesus' name. Amen.
