If he's a Christian this is what he needs to do:

James 5

14Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:

15And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.

16Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

17Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

18And he prayed again, and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit.

Please pray for [J]who is pregnant post Covid and can't breathe well. Lord open her lungs and give her peace and reassurance that You're with her and the gift in her womb. Bind this spirit of depression. Give beauty for ashes Lord.

Pray for [D]. Who is having a medical heart or lung problem, not sure which. Dr. Appt is 2 months out. She desires a supernatural healing the Lord is able.

Let not Covid prosper anymore Lord, in Jesus name. Heal us that we may testify of Your great power!

In Your name Father we take authority over and rebuke every spirit of infirmity from harming all those for whom we call upon Your name! We command you spirits of infirmity to be cast into hell and bound with eternal chains to await your judgement. Powerless to harm. In Jesus name! Blood of Jesus cover all who call upon the name of the Lord Jesus Christ for healing. IN Jesus mighty name Amen.

Hi Rick, Gen7:16 says that the LORD shut him in!

I need prayers for my health. I have been sick for a few days and I am going through an emotional rollercoaster. I have so many things going through my mind, thoughts of fear and anxiety, worriesome about love ones. I want to be closer to GOD and I don't know how to do that. This world we live in causes so much of these feelings I am having and I some times don't know how to handle them. So much hurt and pain we are living in todays world that it scares me and I live most of my days in fear. I need to be closer to God, I need to feel his presence and I just want to pray but I am not sure how to...life is so scary and I worry about my family and friends. I wish that I had a church to go to and connect with people, share with others and understand more about God, the Bible and what is coming. For today, I would appreciate prayers just because but also a good friend of mine lost her Dad overnight from Covid and my heart aches for her as it does for my son who is also positive. Thank you to whoever is out there and may see this. God bless!!

Thanks for your thoughts on Gen 8:14 regarding the "covering" there's nothing to say as to why there was a covering except to say that it appears to be badgers skin where the word is found in other texts!

Prayer for my family's health, protection, financially, and spiritual blessings. Praising God for all and thanking Jesus for dying for our sins! Thank you

Hi Brother Carleton,

It's nice to hear from you again.

I'm sure many of us here have been missing your comments, and all of the pertinent scripture that you would regularly provide. Sorry to hear about your Mother-in-law passing. Will keep you in our thoughts and prayers.

John 16:22

"And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you."

God Bless You!

If some people still want to deny that Jesus Christ has as much power as his Father....

Look at the scripture John 10:30 "I and my Father are one."...

and read the whole chapter...do not deny Jesus and say only the father can make great things happen..becouse so can Jesus...he is the reason we are still here. he died on the cross for our sins, so we may be able to have redemption.

I will continue to worship and go to church...I am Apostolic Pentecostal ..I have been told "This religion is not widely accepted"...well neither was Jesus Christ..for they crucified him on the cross and that "IS" widely accepted..it is known worldwide...

Thank you all for your time and responses and reply's...

i love Jesus Christ and he is the reason I am still here today. on this earth.

Goodbye.

I still will use this site for Bible study, for this site is a very wonderful way to study the King James Bible.

Why is the King James Bible the only true Bible in my opinion and others as well ?

Because it is a English Preservation of the very words of "God"..and it is as accurate as the original Greek and Hebrew manuscripts found in it's underlying texts. adherents to this belief many also believe that the original languages "Hebrew" AND "Greek" can be corrected by the King James Bible..

Thank you for your time.

What is the meaning of one?

Mark12:32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:

John.10:30 I and my Father are one.

John.17:22 And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one:

Rom.12:5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

1Cor.3::8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labour.

1Cor.10:17 For we being many are one bread, and one body: for we are all partakers of that one bread.

1Cor.12:12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also is Christ.

1John.5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Matt.19:5-6 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.

John.17:11 And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are.

John 17:2-23 That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

Are we one, are we of one heart, are we of one accord, are we members in one body, are we of one mind, are we of one faith, if we are in Jesus, are we not all one?

God bless,

RLW

A fruit is a fruit, and a gift is a gift. In many other Jesus's parables, is presented the need to look upon Jesus and proceed according with His moral Principles in agreement with God's Character. In virgins's parable, Jesus uplifts the need to search and look for the Holy Spirit, symbolised by the oil in the lamp. The lamp is the mind and all it's needs, cognitive, emotional, social and spiritual, wich must be filled in order to give light by Holy Spirit's presence in the individual chrystian mind, to prepare that person and the others around him for the second coming of Christ.

On this talent's parable, Jesus points to the need for witnissing to others, because if not , they will perish, and God will require their blood from us as negligent servants. In order to do that, we need to have faith in Jesus, as He has Faith and comunion with His Father. The exercise to increse my Chrystian faith, is by witnissing to others about Jesus Faith.

Whosoever, doesn't cherish Jesus's comunion by prayer, asking for His Spirit to forgive and love our neighbor, and be able to witness to him, is in peril of spreading away God's gifts.

Faith in Jesus, is the First and the most important gift, because it's by faith, that we receive the Holy Spirit's Power, to be able to witness to other fellowmen. men!

We have received our present existence without asking, but as we have a mind, with free wil, we are acountable for what use we make of our brain and time gifts. Jesus called his disciples to come and rest on a solitary place, and we are not requested to wor without cessing neither to rest without cessing.

God loved so much the world meaning us, that He sent His Begotten Son to show us the way and it's resonable expecting we do the best on our individual capacity, to follow Jesus's exemple. Jesus gives us a lot and asks just our possible, that is done from all heart, soul and mind, litle by litle every day and every moment until He comes.

Keep comunion's lamp lit and shining.

Please Keep me in prayer that Jesus would lead me to my future wife. I gave my life to Christ on June 23 2011. I've been rejected so many times that it's depressing me but I know Jesus can lead me to the one he has for me.

Hi! Thanks for getting back to me. I know it seems impossible to breed between species, this boggles my mind also, but so does everything GOD does, and I just resign myself to the realization that I will never figure GOD out. What it does say in the Bible is that in the days of Noah, that angels ( obviously of the fallen nature because the 2/3 that stayed on GOD'S side during the war satan started in heaven decided to obey GOD) had relations with human women, which bred a race of giants called "Nephilim". I believe that if it happened in the Bible, that it's true, and it is possible that it could happen again unless GOD said it won't (ex; flooding the entire earth) So as impossible as it seems for a supernatural being to produce children with a human... GOD says it happened,so it did. So if that was not impossible, then I was just thinking, maybe that a hybrid man/lion was possible also? Though I think the thought of man going that far is depraved, scary and yes mind boggling. But as GOD says, " The heart of man is wicked!" " Who can know it?" Thank you for your input.

The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

Isaiah 6:8

Romans 1:20

Colossians 2:9

Acts 17:27-30

1 John 5:7

John 10:30

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"

Genesis 1:1

The Father purposes

The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.

All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel.

Matthew 1:23

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God WITH US. Jesus is all human and all God. Satan is a created being. He has no authority as a result from Jesus dying on the cross for The World.

{Comment} Jesus came to bring to each born again believer; the baptism and the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.

[ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3, John 16: 7-15]

Upon being born again, Jesus gives the Holy Spirit to teach us scripture, comfort us, convict us of sin, enable us to be witnesses. Stay in the New Testament at first.

We're doing fine Brother,

My condolence goes out to you and the family.

God bless you.

Deuteronomy 22

The first verses of this chapter 1-12 are rules on taking care of a neighbor's animal; men and women's regulations for dressing; how to sow seeds; and ploughing.

The focus on verses 12-29 is related to relations between men and women; and the judgments to be rendered on certain behaviors. We see as in Matthew 5:31 the so called "exception clause" which is likely related to betrothal since that is what caused Joseph to contemplate divorcing the woman he was betrothed to in Matthew 1:19.

It is clear from this chapter that a married woman who was correctly assessed not to be a virgin at the inception of a marriage after being accused by her husband was to be put to death (v.21); and this sentence was to be done for a betrothed woman and the man having relations with her (v. 23-24).

When the betrothed woman was innocent because she protested at the actions of rape of the man; he was to be stoned; and she was innocent (v. 25-27).

In the case of a woman not betrothed; after relations occur a payment was to be made to the father of the woman and he was to marry her. He also could not "put her away all of his days". (v. 29). This same rule was to be for the woman innocent of the accusations of the new husband at the consummation of the marriage (v. 17-19). He could not divorce her. This would surely seem to indicate that when a marriage wasn't tangled with these accusations the same rule would apply; in other words; a marriage was for life. It is interesting that even with David and Solomon among others having hundreds of wives (and concubines); divorce is never mentioned even with multiple wives in many cases. These scriptures don't indicate a woman initiating fornication or being the accusers here; but both parties are involved in ramifications when vows are made.

The last verse relates to not having relations with a father's wife; clearly demonstrated as a death penalty in other scriptures. (v. 30).

Thank you Brother Spencer! I am well enough. I would like to write more soon. This morning is my faithful mom-in-law's funeral. I expect to hear the Gospel preached this day which is peace for us. I hope you are well too!

Principles of Witnessing

Its a joy and privilege never out of bondage. When witnessing and right on with word it Glorifies

God always. The word of God living in you will be the burning drive in you. Its the love of Christ that drives us to

do the work of Christ. People will read you before they read the word we are the witness. Don't be like a bull in

a china closet have focus. Every person and situation is different this is not a canned walk ask God all the time

about what to do. Its the highest privilege we have as ambassadors for Christ 2 Corinthians 5:20so believe in His

ability in you that's what people in darkness see His light in you shining Mathew 5: 14-16. This is done by

inspiration not perspiration so spiritually let er rip tatter chip for God!

How are you doing Brother Carleton?

I hope all is well. It's always wonderful to hear from you.

One more comment on soul winning: Your intercessory prayer life has to have deep roots.

With Intercessory Prayer within a group at your Church. If there isn't one, then with those interested at someone's home.

Pray for God to send angelic protection to accompany you. Give thanks.

It's best to do it like Jesus taught. You need a partner to go with you. Get your Bibles equipped with a LIST of scriptures easily accessed. I buy and take an assortment of Bible Tracts with me. Chick Tracts DOTcom. Read some and pick what will be attractive. Write your church name on the back.

PRAY for the Holy Spirit to bring people to your route who are ready to hear the Gospel. Carry your Bibles openly and folks will be curious.

No matter being heckled, repay with kindness. One on one is best. Sometimes offer a cup of coffee in McDonald's for privacy if need be.

Stay off private property and on public right of way.

Just hang out and look friendly. Listen to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Sometimes Jesus just disappeared in crowd gatherings. :) everyone would be saying where is he?

I write down everyone's name I lead to Christ in my Bible so I can pray for them later. Pray for their faith to run hot and not get cold. (Revelation)

Don't get into shout outs with "Christian" scientists, JW's, etc. it makes crowds gather.

Jesus will be there with you and the Holy Spirit. He was for me. I'd go to places where there was foot traffic. Right now there's a lot of curiosity because of all the disasters going on around the world. Do memorize Matthew 24 and Luke 21.

I tell stories like Jesus did. Most people will listen to a story; they'll take comic book tracts with them. I leave one on bus benches.

Be wise as a serpent and Mild as a Dove.

Mishael

I really want to get closser to god and know more about him

Happy New Year Christian travelers!

Love to you all.

An effective soul-winner has a servant's heart. In 1 Corinthians 9:19, PAUL STATED that he had made himself "a slave to everyone, in order to win more people." The word Paul used for slave means "a bond-slave," someone who was the property of another. Above all else, Paul considered himself to be Christ's bond-slave. Yet, he understood that serving Christ involved humbly serving others in Christ's name. In Christ, Paul saw himself as no more deserving of God's love and salvation than the most pagan Gentile. Therefore, he made it a lifestyle practice to show honor and respect to any person-Jew or Gentile-in order to win them over to faith in Christ.

An effective soul-winner has an athlete's discipline. Most Jews of Paul's day were not sports enthusiasts. They disdained the famous Greek athletic games, in large part because of the Greek tendency to glorify the naked human body. Whether Paul ever attended an athletic competition is unclear, but he was familiar with the rigorous discipline required of an athlete who wanted to compete at the highest level. In 1 Corinthians 9:27, Paul stated that he kept his body under strict discipline so as not to disqualify himself as an advocate of the life-transforming gospel. Soul-winners must take care to practice what they preach.

PART 2 of 2

An effective soul-winner has a selfless attitude.

Paul reminded the believers of Corinth that they were to "do everything for the glory of God" ( 1 Cor. 10:31). Evidently, the Corinthians liked to boast about themselves. They considered their favorite preacher to be better than all the rest (1:12-13). They wanted to be known as the most tolerant of sexual freedom (5:1-2). They desired to have the flashiest or most mysterious spiritual gifts (12:4-11).

Paul sought to correct the Corinthians' arrogance by reminding them that the gospel's essence was to love God with all one's heart and love one's neighbor as oneself. In other words, "God first; others second; and me last."

An effective soul-winner presents a Christlike example. This fourth quality really is a combination and summary of the other three qualities. In 1 Corinthians 11:1, Paul exhorted Christians to imitate him as he in turn imitated Christ. In other words, the best way to win over a lost person to faith in Christ is TO LET THEM SEE Christ in you. Christ said that He came into the world not to be served but to serve and give His life as a ransom for many.

He called people to FOLLOW HIM as disciples-people who committed themselves body and soul to Him as Lord. He challenged them to deny self, take up the cross, and FOLLOW HIM.

Whether we prefer to call ourselves soul-winners or disciple-makers, the Lord Jesus Christ expects us to be about the business of living out the gospel consistently and doing everything we can to introduce others to Him.

4 ESSENTIAL QUALITIES OF A SOUL-WINNER

1 COR. 9:19-27; 10:31-33; 11:1

Matthew 9:37-38

Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few;

Pray ye therefore the LORD OF THE HARVEST that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.

Jeremiah 8:20

The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.

Ask the Holy Spirit to bring the Harvest to you.

Mishael

If this were me,I would have pleaded with God to take me for a sacrifice instead of my son ,and said who will bring all the sands of the future people if my son is not here? It was a test of his faithfulness,and when Sodom and Gomorah were destroyed it showed that you can question God ,and plead with him for others that are righteous.Thank God an angel was sent to offer a sacrifice before anything happened.

Matthew Henry Commentary from this Website

MARK 12:28-34

28-34 Those who sincerely desire to be taught their duty, Christ will guide in judgment, and teach his way. He tells the scribe that the great commandment, which indeed includes all, is, that of loving God with all our hearts. Wherever this is the ruling principle in the soul, there is a disposition to every other duty. Loving God with all our heart, will engage us to every thing by which he will be pleased. The sacrifices only represented the atonements for men's transgressions of the moral law; they were of no power except as they expressed repentance and faith in the promised Saviour, and as they led to moral obedience. And because we have not thus loved God and man, but the very reverse, therefore we are condemned sinners; we need repentance, and we need mercy. Christ approved what the scribe said, and encouraged him. He stood fair for further advance; for this knowledge of the law leads to conviction of sin, to repentance, to discovery of our need of mercy, and understanding the way of justification by Christ.

Mark 12:28-34, Bible Commentaries

Jocelynne Bell Understand up front that this is a different condition of a burnt sacrifice being explained

the record is in Judges chapter 11 starting in verse 23 Jephthah who's heart was for Gods People God put his

spirit upon Jephthah and he vowed a vow that whoever comes out of his home when he defeats the children

of Ammon shall surely be the lord's and I will offer it up for a burn't sacrifice. Verse 32+33 God delivers them

and verse 34 jephthah goes to his house and His daughter is first one to come out and she was his only daughter.

A burn't sacrifice can also mean that a person has been committed to serving God in the temple or in our day and

time single in the service of God the rest of there lives! In this case a man gave His word to God and if you make

that level of commitment don't break it, i.e. say it and mean it. Verse 35 through 40 explain the heart of the

daughter and how she prepared to commit herself in the temple the rest of her life! The context of this starts

In verse 1 of chapter 11. In our culture words don't mean a lot that's why we have attorneys but in eastern culture

what you vowed you did if you were a just man.

Thanks Chris! God bless you.

Gigi A little off subject matter I'll be quick severe pain ice is your friend for 20 minutes then switch to

heating pad. Heating pad will become your friend because our problem slows down blood flow and heat

stimulates circulating and eases pain. Last except for sleeping try not to sit down or be still too long

because that's detrimental. Now the fun part we need healed because there is no cure for arthritis, that

being shared God Bless.
