Bring him back to her in repentance. Restore oh heavenly father restore I do ask this in Jesus name
There were those of Jesus' other disciples (other than the 12), who turned their backs to the Lord, but the 12, bar Judas, remained faithful even though their love & faith in the Lord were often severely tested. As Peter exclaimed, 'to whom can we turn to, to receive the words of eternal life, You the promised Messiah of God?' Maybe, our expectations of the disciples are oddly higher than for the rest of us, given their personal encounter with Jesus & witness of His Glory & Power. But we fail to remember that they were like us in every way, with their doubts, fears, & questions, & they could hardly envisage how their lives would change when the Holy Spirit would one day empower them to live for the Lord, to teach the Truths of God & one day to die for Him. These traits should be characteristic of each one of us who have been touched & changed by God's Spirit, or else we would be mere followers, ever hungering, walking unsteadily, living with doubts & fears. "Blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed."
Thank you
Jesus taught and preached some hard stuff. Today, most of the church world wouldn't tolerate what Jesus himself taught and preached
2 timothy 4:3
Say that to someone today and them come undone. It's tough, because no one's preaching it except maybe some old school holiness preachers and the Mennonites etc.I was reading and imagining the reaction Jesus would get today. I get that reaction from my people a lot too.
We gotta lay down our sinful habits thoughts and deeds. Jesus is coming back soon I believe we are in the last days!
I will pray for you and your family.
Lord Jesus
Nicole is asking today for You to restore her marriage. Answer all of her petitions. She is contending for her matti age and the welfare of her family. I am thankful that You hear her prayers and know all about this situation. So, in agreement with Nicole, we ask Your help in Your name,
Amen
Therefore, each one has to be convinced, having examined it as much as possible, & do according to the dictates of their consciences. The other problem that arises is, should those who've not been vaccinated then protest against employer or govt. rulings that put restrictions or penalties upon them? Sure there'll be many protestations, as there are even now, but the bottom line is, if a law is in place, we either obey or disobey it, & if we're true to our convictions, then the ramifications of our decision, whether of good or ill, must be accepted.
Jesus was quoting Psalm 110
I lost my dad suddenly, too. It was 33 years ago. I knew when it happened that God chose it to be his time to die and enter eternal life. That has always comforted me. It is a blessing to have believing parents. It is sad to let go of them in death, but we let go of them to God, and that is better for our loved one.
May you be comforted and also hold your mom to you in memories. My dad loved to garden, so every spring when plants bud and begin to bloom or bear fruit, I think of him. I remember seeing him out among the fruit trees just checking them out and enjoying them.
I have a pressure canner he bought for me in my early adult years. I hadn't asked for it and my parents did not have much money, so it was a special gift. He bought it at a second hand store and I still have it. Just can't give it up.
I've used it for canning over the years.
My adult son now wants to learn to can, so I'll be teaching him with this special canner!
I hope you are have many ways to be reminded of your mom. God bless you today.
God comforts us in our loss as well as fills us up with His presence as we walk by His Spirit.
Our focus in worship should be on the Lord, not on what is showing in the way women dress. We are our brother's keepers and should be concerned about our effects on others in how we dress and how we serve in church fellowship.
Probably at the point where people as a whole won't go back to these practices, but I think these are better practices considering the culture we live in today.
Hi
My understanding from reading the last chapters of each Godpel after the resurrection, all of the apostles (except Judas) returns to Jesus, though they had deserted Him during His trial, suffering and death.
Jesusmet and ate with them multiple times after the resurrection and their faith in Him was restored.
It is untrue that the apostles did not believe the gospel until Pentecost. They were empowered for the mission of evangelism at Pentecost, but the last chapters of the gospels and Acts 1 shows us that they believed and were taught by Jesus.
It baffles me that many people seem to believe what you stated despite the evidenc of Scripture. Perhaps some people judge the apostles by their own mindset and not by what Scripture actually says.
The Scripture gives us no reason whatsoever to think that these apostles were not believers before Pentecost.
I encourage you and others to read these passages in the Gospels and Acts 1 to find out more about the apostles Jesus selected to take the Gospel of Him to the world. He did not make a mistake in choosing them nor did He not teach them and ensure they had received faith to believe in Hom before He ascended. To think otherwise is an insult to our Lord and unbelief in what He is able to do and desired to do in His apostles. Read the Last Supper Discourse in John and see how Jesus speaks to and about the apostles.
Jcbu, I am not trying to be critical of your post. I just felt urged to speak to this one item in your post. I appreciate your thoughts.
Luke 22:69, Psalms 110:1, Psalms 110:4, later referenced to clarify Jesus' priesthood Genesis 14:18, Hebrews 7,
Psalms 110:5-6
Hopefully these scripture references are helpful.
John 5:22 says, "For the Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son.
Everyone will answer to Jesus Christ. And the Father has transferred all judgment to the Son. So we will all stand before Christ and answer to how we responded to Christ.
:-).
Genesis 9:22-27, Genesis 13:13, Genesis 18:20,21,22, Genesis 19, Revelations 11:8,
2 Peter 2:1-15, Jude 1:7-25, Isaiah 3:9, Jeremiah 23:14, Romans 1:18-32,
Galatians 5:16,
Hopefully these are helpful in your study.
I had a book put across my path called "The Yeast Connection" written by Dr.Crook, who now has a website online. It is very informative. One of the problems he highlights in his book is that yeast can cause a yeast infection to occur anywhere in the body including the gut. A person with yeast infection often craves sugar and alcohol (which is high in sugar). The yeast turns sugars, even sugars in fruit, into alcohol in the gut. I think we all know the woes too much alcohol can do to a body over time.
Chapter Revelation 4:1 is the verse that's used by those who believe that the believers will be raptured prior to the Tribulation Period, because number 1, the door had been opened, and number two, a trumpet was talking to him.
It's the same as Paul said in 1 Thessalonians 4:13, I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that you sorrow not, as others which have no hope. He had just said in this chapter that the trump of God would sound. It would be a great shout, and the trump of God would sound. And so here is the trumpet talking to John saying come up here.
And those who hold the Pre-Trib. position see that as equivalent to the rapture of the church that is happening. And from now on, John will see everything from heaven, and the church will no longer be on the earth, but the multitudes will be in heaven.
And many believe that's an indication, among other scriptures, especially 1 Thessalonians Chapter 5 where it gives us the Tribulation Period, and he says this is for the wrath of God, and we (have not) been chosen for the wrath of God.
I would just like to offer you a short simple answer to your question. What is the Lord telling you to do? What is He putting on your heart? That would be your answer!
Genesis 3:15 is the oldest prophecy in scripture, that Satan would be crushed under His (Christ's) feet. This is going to happen at the second coming of Christ. Also, if you look at Romans 16:20, it says "And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly." Again, this will be the fulfilment of Genesis 3:15. It will be Satan's final ultimate defeat when Christ comes at His second coming and Satan is cast away forever.
