Dear Jernej

I will pray for you and your father.

Dear Lord Jesus, enliven Your word read at every service Jernej' Dad attends to work grace in His life. I ask that Your Spirit speak to his spirit and recall and repeat to him every pure truth he learned growing up and not recall the error. May he hear again and again the truth of who you are and what your work and sacrifice avails to us who believe. Grant him have a deep, life-changing, abiding encounter with You, the Living God that will burn away all that stands in the way of the saving work of grace through faith in his life today. Open his heart to be willing to hear and consider what Jernej shares with him about You. Bend his will to be obedient to the holy Word given to him. I ask all of this in Your name, Jesus, for only You can save. Amen.

M,

Using human logic, a person cannot prove the existence of God. I mean, how can I prove to anyone that God exists when human reasoning and logic tells a person that we need to see something in order to know it exists? You are a believer and so am I. Why do we believe God exists? We believe by faith (PEITHO/Persuasion). It is God's Spirit that persuades us to believe He exists. Without His faith persuading us to believe, because that's what faith is (Persuasion), everything we read about God would not make logical sense using our own human reasoning. It's not when we believe the truth with our mind about the existence of God, and that He is real. It's when His Spirit persuades us, gives us the faith (His faith) to believe He exists!

M The term logic or reason is something that can be validated. There is a place called Jerusalem which

means city of peace whats known as the holy lands because of events that are ACTUAL HISTORY I.E. birth

of Jesus Christ the Israel of Judean people, sea of Galilee, etc. The events are actual occurrences of the

miraculous that made up the way the land was marked and developed. Take the time to look honestly at

some statistics in nature not just in shapes but mathematically and get your mind blown. Humming birds

what they do aerodynamically is impossible, the wooly mammoth caterpillar in Alaska literally when it goes

into hibernation in the winter literally freezes almost solid then thaws out, mankind has no clue how it does

it! Explain to me how a nursing mothers milk not only changes daily nutrient wise according to growth stage.

Explain to me how when animals or birds migrate how they know where there going how there getting there

and when to leave and when to come back, so logically there has got to be an Intelligence behind all this

or illogically it was just all thrown together in perfect order? Just food for thought.

Nana, How are you doing today. I am thinking of you and you family today. I pray that you will be welcomed into your grandson's life again very soon. Amen

Absolutely agree, Donna. I taught Kindergarten for many years and these kiddos were just beginning to write the sounds they heard in words. My husband and I would sit down and try to decipher what the student was trying to say. Pretty funny! One was fofuvjli (fourth of July). So cute. But even as we type our posts, we often make mistakes, transposing letters, omitting, repeated letter and just missing the correct spelling. My "h" key is sticky, so is omitted often in my posts. But, if we are patient and re-read something we can get the idea within the context. Too bad there are not pictures on these posts like the kinders had with their writing. It really helped my husband and I! Thanks for the reminder. God is good and understands our weaknesses. So should we understand others as well. Blessings.

I'll check out your site. I fully support your ministry to bless others in song. I'll hit that LIKE symbol too.

Thank the Lord for all the songs (Psalms) in the Bible. How many times they've carried us through rough patches in our lives?

Keep coming back here. We need to know how to release our spirits in song and melodies to bless our hearts in Praise.

Praise and worship defined King David's life.

May the Lord anoint your work to bless the people!

Precious TSR says about "angels":

"We can only ask for angelic assistance when we need it. When going through intense spiritual warfare at home or even work: you can ask for protection."?

1) I cannot find Scripture for "asking for angelic assistance" - please advise, and:

2) What happened to Ephesians 6:10-15 and Ephesians 6:15-20 for "spiritual warfare"?

Please Be Richly Encouraged, Enlightened, Exhorted, and Edified! ( 2 Timothy 2:15 Romans 16:25 Ephesians 3:9 = Grace/Mystery fellowship {Romans - Philemon}, For ALL "to SEE, today?)

even as i study I know it selfish but i ask for belive, faith and power to be able to tell them that i belive in ture god not what catholih teches you. And I dont know what gona happened specely now. but as you pray for me pray for other that are in the same or similar posison.

Romans 1

if we cannot see him through his creation. all around us,

we are without excuse.

Evidence of God I see is what exists before our eyes- our amazingly advanced human bodies and this world with beauty and amazing animals and plants that have complex interdependencies. We have never seen life come into existence from nothing on accident, so to believe in that isn't science but a religion. And no one has ever witnessed an animal changing to a different kind. So, the theory of evolution isn't scientific and can be refuted with logic.

Can you please share your proof?

Yvonne,

It is in Ecclesiasticus 43:11, on the site, click on more, then click on Standard King James Bible Apocrypha. Click on Ecclesiasticus go to chapter 43 and there you go verse 11.

God bless,

Eljer I read what you ask and the question is answered in the response.

Eljer This is a challenging subject biblically angels true God, devils not demons opposite power,

agents that either work for the True God Angels or Satan devils. Examples of operation are by what they either

do positively or negatively affect mankind. Messengers of God Genesis 18:2 they appeared in front of Him then he

made food for them and they ate then they told Sarah about the son she would have GOOD NEWS then they

headed toward sodom and rescued lot and wife and daughters literally dragging them out. They can disappear

and reappear and operate Gods power when and if necessary always for the benefit of believers and Gods Will.

Now the other side they are invisible but what they cause is visible Mathew 9:32+33

and the man spake. The spiritual problem was eliminated and Gods Deliverance was manifested, Mathew 12:22+

23 the blind and dumb spake and saw. They are invisible but there work is visible to the senses. They knew who

Jesus Christ was Mathew 8:29 what have we to do with thee Son of the Most high God. You do not deal with this

unless God specifically tells you too, it is not a guessing game. God will make you aware of what to do or what not

to do. Notice Mathew 8:16 the Power of the spoken word when believed. The enemy and his messengers know who

Jesus Christ is and the authority he was Given and were terrified of Him. Our guard is being born again and renewed

mind walk in deliverance in Christ jesus by the spirit. Ephesians 6:12

Hi Khalif,

I don't have a good answer for your question, but can talk generally about living as a Christian.

As Christians we aren't promised a problem-free life. The Bible says will actually be harder for us due to persecution, etc.

Some Christians assume Romans 8:28 means they deserve or are entitled to a privileged life. Some like Osteen preach this on TV which is a false teaching in my opinion. Some people are told if they're not living in sin they will get free goodies/rewards from God, like money, possessions, health, good relationships, etc. It's really a self centered immature and distorted perspective. God isn't a genie in a lamp here to serve us. If anything its the opposite- we exist at the pleasure of God and to serve Him.

Paul was shipwrecked, beaten, chased, in prison, you name it, but was one the most prominent Christian evangelists. He was persecuted and had a rough life, not a prosperity-gospel type life full of 'abundance' in this world. But Paul said he found the secret of contentment. Have you read that before? Here's a guy you would assume would be very depressed and discouraged, but he wasn't. He cracked the code. We don't need to fill ourselves with outside things to make us feel whole, but can be content as we are. God is the strength in our weakness and can make up the difference. So, in terms of managing frustration, maybe reading more about Paul may help: Philippians 4:10-13.

As far as relationships, some I know seemed to find partners when young like a God-arranged divine event. But others I know have been single their whole lives. Each pray and are serious about their walk with God.

God bless...

Is there anyone who is able to prove using logic that God exists and that it is the God of the Bible that is the Highest?

I'm not asking for my sake. I do believe. I want to see if anyone knows the answer to this challenge.

Precious Rick asks a Great question "If the dead are already risen and are in heaven then why is the church the body of Christ going to be Raised and meet him in the air in new incorruptible bodies like His In Thessalonians who are the just and unjust that will be raised in the book of revelation?"

Thanks So Much! What Saith The Scripture?

Part I Asleep Awaiting resurrection

1) A 'General' (not 'specific') prophecy:

Dan 12:2 "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt."

'Some' believe: "BOTH At The SAME time." But, 'Impossible' According To Scripture:

2) 'Specifics' of the general prophecy of resurrection:

Rev 20:5 But the rest of the dead (unjust) lived not again ( Rev 20:11-15) until the thousand years were finished...

...This is the first resurrection ("...they lived..." v. 4) . Blessed and holy is he (the just) that hath part in the first 'prophetic' resurrection: on such The Second Death ( Rev 20:15) hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with Him a thousand years. Rev 20:6

These 'prophecies' Must Not 'Be Confused (Wrongly COMBINED)' with, But Must Be Rightly Divided 2 Timothy 2:15 FROM:

God's "Revelation Of The MYSTERY!"

To be continued

Our prayers are voice activated. Pray Psalm 91 aloud and believe that God is faithful to perform His word. This is the cry of my heart for every Christ follower.

Part II Asleep Awaiting resurrection

God's 'Prophetic' Program For ISRAEL (see Part I)

Rightly Divided 2 Timothy 2:15 FROM

God's "Revelation Of The MYSTERY (Secret)," for The Body Of CHRIST

3)...Which Has The Following "Specific" 'resurrection/rapture' of ONLY (the just) 'GRACE believers' "who 'SLEEP In Jesus'" AND, at the same time, "we who ARE ALIVE and remain" 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 And 1 Corinthians 15:51-57

Thus, 'these ASLEEP' are NOT 'risen and in heaven,' (Rick, I apologize IF I 'implied' this somewhere), but, are Only the "Conscious Departed souls/spirits" RESTING In Jesus, in Heaven WITH Him, awaiting resurrection (to "Be Brought" and Be Reunited 'with their BODIES' from the graves, and "Changed Into Incorruptible"), According to Plain and Clear Scripture:

"...them also which sleep in JESUS Will 'God Bring With' Him." 1 Thessalonians 4:14 and 1 Corinthians 15:51-57 (Rightly Divided, NOT 'Confused' with Revelation to John, For ISRAEL)

Thus, the answer to the question "the deceased are already with Jesus"? Still stands, According to 2 Corinthians 5:6,8 and Philippians 1:21,23 = God's 'Answer Is YES!'

Perchance there is a 'Different' interpretation that I Cannot see, for "...them also which sleep in JESUS Will 'God Bring With' Him." 1 Thessalonians 4:14 ???



Precious Rick, and all Precious friends, Please Be Encouraged In CHRIST, And HIS Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided!

More "study" of 'Distinctions' between Prophecy and MYSTERY: Link

Thank you David! God answers prayer! If we have not it's because we ask not or it wasn't Gods will.

I pray for you too . Thank you so much!

Yvonne,

You will not find it in Ecclesiastes. It is found in Ecclesiasticus 43:11.

Bro David the verse was Luke 22:36-38 not Roman's 10:9 or Luke 1-24.

I apologize I put my comment under Song of Solomon

I cannot find in Ecclesiastes the verse "Look upon the rainbow and praise him."

I cannot find in Ecclesiastes the verse about a rainbow

"Look upon the rainbow and praise him."

Susan,

Matthew 14:13-21 speaks about the provision of food for the five thousand. You are correct in stating the approximate number of people being 20,000. It tells us that there were also women and children, so it would have been somewhere between 15 to 20 thousand people that were fed.

Here is what I would like to share with you on this section as I am taking it from reading the Greek text. In Matthew 14:13, it says that Jesus departed by ship into a (desert place) apart. We see the word desert in our English bibles, and we think of a desert as some dried-up place full of cactus (No grass). So why did Jesus tell them to sit on the grass? There's no grass in the desert!

This is why I love the Greek. In the Greek text, where it says, "a desert place," it is EREMON TOPON which literally means a secluded place. It is not a desert as we know a desert to be in English. This was a secluded place that would have had grass. So that would explain why Jesus had them sit on the grass.

Wherever this secluded place was, we know that Jesus went by boat. As for the masses that followed, Verse 13 says they walked.

Does this help any?

Agreed Rick, We should be careful about seeking info on occult matters. I think the third eye may be referring to the "Eye of Horus" which you see in pictures with this eye above the brow in the middle of the forehead. It is an ancient pagan symbol, but we have it on the top of the pyramid on our monetary bills (along with many other masonry symbols).

Eljer777,

There are writings outside the Bible, these two are mentioned in the Bible, the book of Enoch, Jude 1:14, the book of Jasher, Joshua 10:11 2 Samuel 1:18 but are they the original books, and there are the writings of Josephus.

Scripture does tell us Satan entered Judas, John 13:27, we see in Matthew 12:26 Jesus said, if Satan cast out Satan, suggests he could possess someone, but Mark writes the same conversation, he writes Jesus is speaking in parables, Mark 3:23.

In Daniel 8 not covering Media and Persia, Alexander the Great, and the four it is Antiochus went plundering to place himself above all including God, Isaiah 14:13 is a good description of his intent. He almost destroyed Jerusalem and the worship of God by Israel and placed the abomination in the temple, but he failed. Host of heaven in Paganism are the sun, moon, stars, and planets that is worshiped, but this is not about angels.

Demons and angels are not the same but if you are looking for scripture it is not in the Bible we have. Fallen angels are not in scripture just a definition that has been given the bad ones. Some angels left their first estate and are locked in chains of darkness (bottomless pit), 2 Peter 2:4 Jude 1:6. They have a king, his name in Hebrew Abaddon, Greek Apollyon Revelation 9:1, the hell you speak of, in my understanding comes from Platonism and not scripture.

Revelation 12 that many places in the past but it is yet in the future, the battle is in heaven, so these angels still have access to heaven. When Satan and these angels are cast down to earth will be permanent because it says no more place is found in heaven, Revelation 12:8-12, my understanding this starts the 3.5 years of tribulation when Satan gives his seat, power, and authority to the beast.

There are evil beings on this earth 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 Ephesians 6:12, but how they got here is not in scripture.

Just a little information, may it not add to your questions.

God bless,

RLW

Prayer for my husband to come home to us very soon!

I haven't listened to J.M. Talbott for years. Good listening to calm one's heart to enter into praise and adoration. Thanks for the reminder. It is funny that so many people do not think that Catholics can be close to God, saved, spiritually minded. I have known many that are so. God is not respecter of persons. He calls people from every nook of life. Those who are born and raised in a Catholic home (or other denomination), God choose that for them, and He is able to save them through the reading of the word read at every service. So, let's be open to what God can and does do in groups thhat we may not normally associate with. He is truly amazing!

I want to have enough power to tell my parents. That I am christian amd not chatolic. And that I will not celebrate pagan hollydays like new year that coming up. I eye where opened and i need faith and will to go agents what pagan today.

Thank you Donna, I appreciate your agreement in prayer for this. God Bless You today and in all your ways.
