Excellent

I thank the Lord for reminding me who I was before I trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ as my Saviour. I praise His love for the lost and His desire for all to be saved.

My prayer is for our nation and our leaders, may they find the wisdom of the Lord through His salvation. Lord bless our nation as we go through this pandemic and shortage of goods and supplies. Teach us to love and give you thanks for answered prayers. February 5, 2022

I've been struggling to love someone in my life. Tonight I forgave them and told God I forgave them. Please pray that God would give me the strength to love this person, through Him. Pray that His love would be shown through me.

Please pray that my thoughts, all our thoughts would be focused on Christ. I pray that anyone who's harboring hatred in the hearts would surrender it to God immediately. I pray that we would all have a desire to please The Lord, our Savior.

I'm asking that God would give me guidance and wisdom in my life.

May the grace and mercy of Our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Thank you for your prayers

The Lord commands us to forgive those who have wronged us, and to love our enemies and bless them. But we have discernment to tell an enemy which will persist until our extinction, and for these, our forgiveness or blessing will never be enough. Sometimes we must call upon God for protection and redress when the matter is a threat to survival. For such a time as this, praying psalm 35 is immediately appropriate.

Mark 16:1 "And when the Sabbath was past" (the 7th day) 2. "And very early in the morning the first day of the week..." (Sunday) How can this be misinterpreted? Luke 23:54 And that day was the preparation, and the Sabbath drew on. 56. ....they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the Sabbath day according to the commandment. Luke24:1 Now on the first day of the week... (Sunday) early in the morning, they came to the sepulcher...

Luke 4:16 ....and as his custom was He (Jesus) went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day.... Luke 13:10 ...and He (Jesus) was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. Genesis 1:5....He called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. Genesis 2:2...and on the seventh day God ended his work which He had made. 3 And God blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. (to set apart, to declare Holy)

Exodus 20:8-11 (4th commandment) Remember the Sabbath day to keep it Holy. Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy work, but the 7th day is the Sabbath. So we have established that the preparation day and the Sabbath drew on....was Friday. The Sabbath was the 7th day.... Saturday. He rose very early the first day of the week...Sunday. The Sabbath was established in the first week of creation to commemorate his work. A reminder that he is Creator God. The sabbath commandment starts with...remember. God knew that someday the world was going to forget the true Sabbath and worship a man made Sabbath. This happened under Constantine in the 3rd century when he declared Sunday to be a National day of rest. But he could not change the true Sabbath. He could only counterfeit a new day of rest. Then the Roman Catholic Church established it as a "Holy Day" but it was not Gods holy day. The Catholic Church claims the change and declares it as a "Mark" of their authority! There's that word "mark." Could it be the "Mark" of the Beast is making the false Sabbath (Sun day) law?

Karen,

According to the Bible, the only gift that is given to a believer is the gift of the Holy Spirit. There is scripture that talks about the "gifts of the Spirit," but the word gift is not the word that means a gift that is given.

If the Lord leads you to do so, I would encourage you to do a study in the New Testament on the word gift or gifts and you will see that the word gift or gifts is either in italics, meaning it is not found in the original Greek text, or it is the word CHARIS which means grace. It has nothing to do with a gift that is given to us.

This is where we get the word CHARISMA from which means an expression of God's grace.

The word DIDOMI in the Greek language is another word used for gift and it literally means a gift that is given. Again, if you do an honest study on every place in the NT where the word gift or gifts is used, you are only going to find one place where the word is used and it actually means a gift that is given. It is the gift of the Holy Spirit. That is the only gift that we are given. Every other place you find the word gift or gifts it is going to be the word CHARIS or CHARISMA which is an expression of God's grace, not a gift that's given to us.

We are only given one gift and it is the gift of the Holy Spirit.

Verse1, do verse1 describe the obedience of God and/ or God expectations of us?I do understand that we have a responsibility to serve God. When one do their best, and don't succeed are we failures?

(BEGIN QUOTE) From got questions. orgs website:

This question is usually framed something like this: "Does the Bible say that in the last days, you will not be able to know the seasons except by the changing of the leaves?"

We had been asked this question many times and had done extensive research into its origin, but had never been able to find the source of the idea.

Recently, someone helped us find the origin of the concept. Evidently, it comes from the "3 Days of Darkness" prophecy of Padre Pio, a Roman Catholic priest. The exact quote appears to be, "You will know when that time is approaching because the seasons will change so the only way you will know the seasons is by the leaves on the trees." (END QUOTE)

I used to Believe that also until recently when I looked for it and could not find it in the Bible. I did find Genesis 8:22.

Please pray that there will be more hired police men and women in California and that all bad would be exposed and justice served and that bad cops would turn good. In Jesus's name Amen

Agree there is wealth and riches in your house in Jesus name

where did the children come from?

Can we all join together and lift "momma" up tonight? Please? She's a young momma who just needs the Lord to hold her tonight and tell her it's gonna be ok. The pain is gonna get better. When Jesus enters the room the He calms the storm. I pray that for so many tonight. Jesus step into the room calm every storm. Only your presence will heal momma tonight Jesus. Be near to the broken heart tonight IJN AMEN

Amen and thank you Donna. I was hoping that this would reach someone that had their prayers answered. This situation was so dire and hopeless in the flesh, that to many it would be viewed as denial or worst but the awesome power of God Almighty is evidently greatest when all else is hopeless. Amen and amen be blessed in Gods grace sister.

Hi Wayne. Do you mean, "why was Titus not required to be circumcised"?

If that's what you're enquiring about, then that was, in part, because Titus was a Gentile (a Greek) & not a Jew. Every Jewish male at eight days of age, was required to be circumcised ( Genesis 17:10-12 ff) as part of the Covenant God made with Israel, separating them as a special people from the surrounding heathen.

When the Apostle Paul & Barnabas went up to Jerusalem to meet with the Jerusalem Council of Apostles & Elders (see Acts 15:2), he took Titus with them as well. But the Council agreed that Titus, a gentile, should not be circumcised; some were believing & requiring (chiefly by the Judaizers: Galatians 2:4), that gentiles must first be circumcised (i.e. become 'Jews') before they could be accepted as (Christian) believers. So with the agreement & blessing of the Council, the apostles & the early Church were unified that neither circumcision nor the workings of the Law ( Galatians 2:16; Galatians 3:2-13) should ever be imposed on gentiles, even as the Law no longer had strength on anyone (Jew or Gentile) when only God's Grace through faith brought salvation & liberty to those now in Christ. This was a major aspect of the early Church as they battled with not only Gentiles being brought into the body of believers, but that all the Laws that served to show the Jews their inability to keep them, were also now cast aside, because of "Christ is (now brought) the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believeth" ( Romans 10:4).

@Brice- I will pray for you! :-)

Genesis 1:2?

What kind of special gifts does God give us?

Test every spirit to see whether it be of the Lord. When you have a true gift and when you are truly saved you WILL be targeted by demonic forces sending people to bring harm and destruction to you and yours.

Prayer and supplication. Pray always. Know Gods voice. Know His Word. He speaks through His Word. Pray about everything and everyone.

True story, once I prayed and asked God to show me who my enemies were and to remove them from my life , and all of my "friends" went away

Hi Mishuna.

There's no such thing as healing scripture.

We go to the Lord in prayer and have faith in him to do what is best.

And there is no super prayer you have to come up with, Just pray to God as your father who loves you.

God bless.

in Galations2, why was Titus not required to be Baptised? What about being Greek exempted

him?

Here are some, hope they help

S Spencer,

Thank you for your words, you have no idea how helpful that was. My eyes instantly filled with tears because I realize that if I keep trying, I have a chance. I will go read the verses you suggested.

Thanks you again.

Praise the Lord! Hug and kiss your hubby for all of who prayed for him as we send our love to both of you

Psalms 24:1,

Dear Charles,

Thanks for your contribution to this discussion. Really, you do not know if God heard our prayers on the first or not. We pray through the lens of faith that God said He answers prayers where two or more agree in prayer.

If this prayer time wasn't something you felt led to do, then don't, but please do not criticize not judge those who do. What isn't of faith is sin. I know my prayers on the first were of faith. It is for God only to judge the motivations and content of our prayers. No believer should discourage people from praying because the prayer situation does not fit one's view of "proper" prayer.

Good afternoon Charles

Your post touched on a few different things. So I will respond to just a couple.

First, I do think that the Angels, including Lucifer were created before Genesis as angels and the spiritual hosts are not mortal or corporeal (having bodies made of

Earthly elements like

Humans). Genesis is the account of God creating the material things in the universe. There is no reason to

believe that God was unable to

create the spiritual realm prior to the physical. But the Genesis account does not say that the spiritual being were created in the six day creation narrative, so I cannot place their creation into those verses.

I do not believe that humans were created as spiritual beings first and then given physical bodies in Genesis as that is contrary to what Genesis says.

Lucifer did not exist alongside God before anything was created. Only God existed then. Lucifer was created.

From the passage in Job it seems to me to imply that these created spiritual being witnessed God creating the physical heavens and earth and rejoiced over what God has done.

The second response I'd like to say to clarify. It is common to say that Jesus existed before He was born into this world. It is true that God the Son existed before He took on human flesh and was conceived and born, but Jesus, being fully God and fully man was conceived and born as a new human Person, unique in that He had an eternal divine nature also. The two natures were united in the one Person if Jesus. Prior to His conception, the Human aspect of Jesus did not pre-exist His conception; the human aspect of Jesus had a beginning at His conception whereas the divine aspect of Jesus existed eternally prior to Jesus' conception. Not meaning to split hairs, but to me it is really important to speak accurately about Jesus. God bless you.

Yes Suze

We are all equal, so we actually are all common folks.

The Hews of the time of Jesus thought themselves to be a superior race and all Gentile inferior or common, even less

human than Jews. How this thought pattern has been repeated in many people groups and societies over the centuries. But it is wrong in every account.

I was just expessing what was the thought concerning Gentiles at that time from the Jewish perspective.

I think the scripture you're referring to is: (but it's not written that way). Matthew 24:32, in context: Matthew 24:3-51, Luke 21:29-30, in context: Luke 21:1-36, Mark 13:28, in context Mark 13, chapter.

Hopefully this is helpful.
