You ask: what is the will of our Heavenly Father in your Life?
You don't understand the gospel of the Kingdom of God?
You DIED on the cross of Christ, Christ's BODY arose by the POWER and LIFE of his Father.
We became HEIRS of God, as we also became partakers of Christ BODY at his resurrection: becoming a NEW CREATION, ONE FLESH, ONE BODY, and the LIFE of OUR BODY is the Spirit of our Father.
We are vessels, instruments, in the WORKS of our Father, it's the LIFE of GOD, not our life, we died and became a new creation, the Body of the Spirit of our Father.
What does our Heavenly will for us , his body:
That we walk in the TRUTH of Christ's resurrection.
Ezekiel 36:27 I WILL put my Spirit IN YOU and CAUSE YOU to walk in my statutes,and keep my judgements, and DO THEM.
Do you understand, by God's words, you DO NOTHING without God CAUSING YOU to DO IT.
You have become ONE with Christ and the Father.
Christ always walked in the TRUTH that it was the Father's words he spoke, and the Father's WORKS he preformed, he is the BODY of the POWER of GOD, we have become JOINT HEIRS with Christ, by taking part in HIS resurrection.
The gospel is NOT PREACHED today.
God Bless YOU!!
According to GOD's Word,what needs to happen first?Exactly what is written in Revelation 18:1-5,i.e. the Judgment of the Great Whore.
1 And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven,having great power;and the earth was lightened with his glory.
2 And he cried(will cry)mightily with a strong voice,saying,Babylon the great is fallen,is fallen, ...
Then, just after the fall of Babylon as above quoted, the marriage of the Lamb will be celebrated, yes, the marriage of the Lamb comes and the wife of the Lamb makes herself ready, yeah, the Bride makes herself ready for this wonderful event, Hallelujah! And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Revelation 19:1-10
1 And AFTER these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and Glory, and Honour, and Power, unto the Lord our GOD:
2 For true and righteous are His Judgments: for He hath Judged the Great Whore(AS ABOVE DESCRIBED), which did corrupt the earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of His servants at her hand.
3 And again they said, Alleluia And her smoke rose up for ever and ever.
4 And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped GOD that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia. ( Revelation 11:15-18 also describe this celestial Event)
5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, Praise our GOD, all ye His servants, and ye that fear Him, both small and great.
6 And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord GOD Omnipotent reigneth.
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready.
8And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen,clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
Get ready
Well, now will be established the 3rd heaven in this WORLD, i.e. the 3rd celestial environment where John Apostle was caught up as a guest- Revelation 4:1- and Paul Apostle was caught up in vision, and through revelations of the Lord he heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter. 2 Corinthians 12:2-3
Again Luke 20:35-36: They which shall be accounted worthy to obtain(to reach) that WORLD(i.e. the 3rd HEAVEN to be established here in the Earth- Matthew 5:5 combined with Revelation 5:v.10 among others references), and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage: Neither can they die any more: for they are EQUAL unto the angels; and are the children of GOD(John1:v.12), being the children of the resurrection. And 1Cor. 15:22 reveals: For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Therefore, in this new millennium, there will be another NATURE, i.e. the NATURE of all things will be changed here in this Earth which was CURSED by GOD because of man, so instead of the CURSE, the blessing. This will be LITERALLY fulfilled from now on. Remember: The Word is GOD, the Word is self-executing according was preestablished and revealed by the Word of GOD.
Philippians 3:20-21 - 20 Our conversation is in heaven(current 2nd heaven, understand?); FROM WHENCE also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body( 1 Corinthians 15:51-55.Take a look.)-, according to the working whereby He is able even to subdue all things unto himself. (the nature will be changed)
1 Cor.15:24-27
24 The END cometh when He shall have delivered up the Kingdom to GOD, even the Father; when He shall have PUT DOWN ALL RULE and ALL AUTHORITY and power( Revelation 11:15-18. Take a look)
25 For He must reign, till He hath put all enemies under His feet.
26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.
Get ready
If we pay close attention to John 11:23-26, the resurrection refers to more than just the body in these 3 verses.
Infact there is a lot being said here.
Verse 23, Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. (He/Lazarus will take up residence in his body again.)
Verse 25, (Resurrection is viewed as a category, not an event.) " Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Verse 26, Jesus says "And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?
We know Lazarus died so that doesn't apply to his physical death.
This speaks of the present eternal condition of the believer once he believe!... (Believest thou this?)
He has taken part of the "first resurrection" mentioned in Revelation 20-6. this is viewed as a category, not a sequence.
There are those who are "the living" and have eternal life who will be reunited with their glorified resurrected bodies.
There are also those who are "the dead" who will be reunited with their corrupted bodies and will be cast into Hell where there will be WEEPING AND NASHING OF TEETH.
There are no steps of absent of the body, waiting on a resurrection to have eternal life. If you have it, it is eternal.
The thing is, have you been made conformable unto his death?
God bless.
There are terms in the Bible such as twice dead and Second death. " Jude 1:12, Revelation 2:11, Revelation 20:14 and Revelation 21:8.
Paul says in Romans 7:9 For I was alive without the law once: but when the commandment came, sin revived, and I died.
Which death did he die? The 1st or the 2nd?
An unbeliever is ALREADY dead! Yet he is still continuous.
( 1 Timothy 5:6.) This is a very common NT idiom. The word (noun) for "dead" is "nekros" and is used of physical death (obviously) but also spiritual death to describe an unsaved person who is physically alive but spiritually dead. Here are some examples:
Matt 8:22 - But Jesus told him, "Follow me, and let the dead bury their own dead."
Eph 2:1 - As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
Eph 2:5 - made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been saved.
Eph 5:14 - This is why it is said: "Wake up, sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you.
Col 2:13 - When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins.
Eternal Salvation is life! It is separation from this Body/Tabernacle of death.
In Romans 6:3 we see the sacrificial Lamb at work.
In Romans 6:4-5 we see the NEW BIRTH and the first fruit of the Resurrection. This is the 1st Resurrection.
You are either dead right now or you have life right now!
Those who have life has already died once and has been born again, never to die again.
"Eternal life speaks of "spiritual life and death".
That's the only death a believer has. "He's already been born again"
Those who are dead is already spiritual dead and their bodies will soon die, and they will remain spiritual dead throughout eternity.
The bible doesn't say anything about being unconscious after the body dies. It has lots of scripture describing conscious.
If the grave is Hell, the Bible never says anything about the saved going there.
See Pt 2
"Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."
Blessedness of seeking righteousness we have in 5:6 "Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."
In v.31 Jesus addresses the crowd,'O ye of little faith" Provident God shows His glory in lifeforms lowly as they are but most efficient in their working how much more He would have invested in Man? He who did not spare him for our blessedness shall He not gives such prosaic things needful for each day? The birds of the air know it was as wild beasts do. "if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you."
The Gentiles spend their time with questions with regards to their creature comforts. "What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?" (v.31). Daily they would like in the myth of Sisyphus, rolling all their energy to the single peak of their desires, their belly. Once satisfied come next day they are at it again? Tyranny of the trifle robbing man of the most blessed Fellowship and it is what Satan does:all these toil and moil is for the flesh which the Bible says profits nothing. "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life."( John 6:63).
"That whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught?"(15:17)
God made all provision for our eternal salvation. Righteousness of God has sent his word, (Is.55:11) set up the House with seven pillars (Pr.9:1-5) and allso prepared the table. "She(Wisdom) hath mingled her wine; she hath also furnished her table. ". She has set out a call, "Come, eat of my bread, and drink of the wine which I have mingled."
Faith is the key for any given day. "Give us this day our daily bread" we pray and if we are of little faith what does the Lord's Prayer amount to?
Just wanted to ask everyone a question.
What is the will of our Heavenly Father in your life?
And are you submitting yourselves to him as his humble obedient servant?
I ask this in Hope's to stir you up, as well as to take some time and reflect on it.
I love you all !! May Gods peace and love be upon you.
Daniel 12:1 - And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
and JESUS CONFIRMED: Matthew 24:15 & 21-23
15 When ye therefore shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, stand in the holy place, (whoso readeth, let him understand:)
21 For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be.
22 And EXCEPT those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the ELECT's sake those days shall be shortened.
Revelation 12:7-12
7 And there was WAR in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon(the red Dragon); and the dragon fought and his angels(his messengers),
8 And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven.
9 And the great Dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.
10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, NOW is come salvation, and strength, and the KINGDOM OF OUR GOD, and the power of His Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our GOD day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the BLOOD of the Lamb, and by the Word of their testimony(Word of GOD); and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them( Ephesians 1:3). Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the Devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.
Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth? Luke 18:8 combined with 1Timothy 4:1-2.
You quoted Luke 20:36-Neither can they DIE ANYMORE:for they are equal unto the angels,and are the children of God,being the CHILDREN of the RESURRECTION.(Didn't you understand what JESUS is revealing by His Word here?The RESURRECTION still did not happen,it will be happen now,even now,in this current seventh and last Day,the LORD's Day,or the current seventh and last millennium.The Word is GOD,self-executable.It is important to remember what was revealed by Peter Apostle in 2Peter 3:8 and 7 and...).
Havent you read the verse 35? 35But they which shall be accounted WORTHY to obtain that world(the next world-the KINGDOM of GOD- Revelation 11:15-18.TAKE A LOOK),and the RESURRECTION from the dead,neither marry,nor are given in marriage:
Again:The RESURRECTION did not happen yet,it was previously determined for this seventh and last Day,understand?And the RESURRECTION will happen before JESUS coming,understand? 1Thessalonians 4:13-18:
13But I would not have you to be ignorant,brethren,concerning them which are asleep,that ye sorrow not,even as others which have no hope.
14For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again,even so THEM ALSO WHICH SLEEP IN JESUS will GODd bring with him.
15For this we say unto you by the Word of the Lord-the Word is GOD-,that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord SHAL NOT PREVENT THEM WHICH ARE ASLEEP.
16For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout,with the VOICE OF THE ARCHANGEL-MICHAEL-,and with the trump of GOD:and the DEAD in Christ shall RISE first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them...to meet the Lord...and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
It's written:At that time Michael stand up,and there shall be a time of trouble,such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time,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-Dan.12:1-2and JESUS confirmed
"The Holy Spirit certainly uses any number of ways to draw us to His Truth!
That is an amazing truth.
God bless.
"Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?/ And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:/And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these."(vv.27-29)
Wisdom of Solomon and lilies of the field have one common thread. These have arisen from the Wisdom principle of divine Will.God blessed man and his world alike so their growth follow a cycle from seed to its death. so does man. His breath however made man a living soul and consequently freedom of choice undid much of glory that God had shed on him. "Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is."(Ep.5:17). Proof of it is in the ships that he assembled at Ezion Geber. and it was a waste of effort in the end and Jehoshaphat .(1 Ki.22:48;1 Ki.9:26-28)Solomon further elevated Jeroboam who proved an enemy to his own son and caused split in the kingdom of Israel. (1 Ki.12:19) "unto this day" sets the split in direct frame of reference to Jesus Christ who of God has become wisdom to us. Eye of faith in He.12:1-2 instructs us why the glory of Solomon did not excel. His heart departed from God.
Lilies in the field shall not be guilty of such a failure.
Instead they instruct man perennial objective lesson as to the glory of God, as the discourse of Jesus teaches us.
In the Epistle to the Hebrews the writer exhorts us how we should run the race,"Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,/Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;"(He.12:1-2)
Law of sin derives muscle from the spirit of times. For instance human migrations have always occurred on the heels of climate crisis drought pestilence which owe to the fall of man. Flesh for that reason for instant gratification. "Let us eat and drink; for to morrow we die./Be not deceived: evil communications corrupt good manners." Such ideals are from law of sin that puts a gloss over faith and evil conduct, to justify human condition. "Make hay while the sun shines for instance tells of opportunities do not come by wishing. It is what tripped Gehazi, "But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, Behold, my master hath spared Naaman this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought: but, as the Lord liveth, I will run after him, and take somewhat of him." Here was a messenger and a servant of long standing. Once he ran after Naaman he proved the truth of v.24. "No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon."
"Behold my master spared Naaman" his judgement could have only occurred after comparing the divine healing and reducing it into dollars and cents. It is thus these shrewd TV preachers would have sat with their accountants before they let the cameras roll on their spiel. The eye of faith is no longer on their calling but their natural eye has already drawn up their profits. Be not deceived law of sin works with curse of disobedience while the Law of the Spirit works with grace. "Therefore I say unto you,"(v.25
Very little of the fear of the LORD is seen in the lives of people. Very little fear of the LORD is being witnessed among those who claim they have faith in GOD. How do I know this? Because the bible says "The fear of the LORD is the beginning of WISDOM" Proverbs 9:10 It is evident among us, that there's not too many operating under the wisdom, and guise of the LORD. What do we need? Do we need a bright light to shine out the heavens causing us to go blind before we acknowledge the only ONE true GOD? People are either too distracted, or their bored out of their GORD. Have we invited too much of the world into our lives? Jesus said in John 17:16 "They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." With that we should be less inclined from going from the things of GOD, to being godly, or holy. Is that boring to some? Probably. Thanks to so many in our pulpits, who feel the need for worldly invention rather than good old fashioned prayer, many have sloped. Some people don't even know how to pray. Prayer should be instinctive for any child of GOD. Godliness, or holiness is looked at as Old fashioned. Who told you those lies? Let me guess. If a genuine fear of GOD doesn't start to make it's way back into the hearts of believers, there won't be a single person among you operating in God's love. On the contrary we will witness a forgery, and there won't be anything solid to grasp onto. Toss me a raft, and you get a twig instead, if we even get that! No more fear of GOD can be seen in our world. It has vanished like the wind. When was the last time you bowed your face to the ground? Not in front of people, because if your doing that you have something wrong with you. Is putting on a show in front of people showing me, and everyone else how holy you are? No, you have your reward. I sigh in disgust over these facts, and they are facts. We can either get it right, and change the way we do things, or you can be like clouds without rain. Offering nothing.
These 24 elders are memorial unto God and they are witnesses to the body that has been prepared for the Son. By the same token the four beasts are memorial to God who appointed the Man as His steward over all creation. The beast with the face of man is the last Adam. " and the third beast had a face as a man"(Re.4:7) Each animal that represents His glory has specific characteristics associated with his Son. His faith as a lion, humility as calf, and eagle about to fly, is his prayer life. The third beast is that of a lamb since in Re.22:1 we are shown the composite throne of God and of the Lamb, signifying New Jerusalem and Zion.
"And round about the throne were four and twenty seats: and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment; and they had on their heads crowns of gold."(Re.4:4) Reuben cannot be among the eternal memorial wearing gold of an overcome. Neither Judas Iscariot for his betrayal. "Lo I overcame the world" Jesus testified. God rested from his labors knowing the 24 elders testified his faith. Fulness of the Son fills heaven earth and the lower parts. He went in Spirit and preached to souls in prison. So the Spirit sets them 8x3 =24. Three is the command number for the Son, He represents Trinity by the number; 4 for the Word become flesh. and he visited souls in prison and preached and it to which 'Cast thy bread upon waters' indicates "Give a portion to seven, and also to eight;"(Ec.11:1-2). Compare with Isaiah 55:11
These 24 elders praise God continually because faith of God rested having framed the worlds by faith.(He.11:3)
Colossians 3:1-3
"And has raised us up together, and made us sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus." Ephesians 2:26
So then, in part, this day is spoken of while the work of Christ continues in earthen vessels.
"To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, am am set down with my Father in his throne." Revelation 3:21
All the Old testament saints and the New testament saints were RAISED with Christ.
Ephesians 2:5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ,
Ephesians 2:6 and hath raised us up together .....
Luke 20:36 Neither can they DIE ANYMORE: for they are equal unto the angels, and are the children of God, being the children of the RESURRECTION.
John 8:51 .... if a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.
Luke 9:27 ... there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death.
God Bless You

Just thought I'd share this with you, God bless!!!
Who would be the 12 elders from the Old Testament mentioned in your post???, which already are clothed in white raiment; and have on their heads crowns of gold.
By the way, from the New Testament, you should know that all the saints, but all, including the Apostles, they all still are waiting their resurrection of this last Day( John 11:24), i.e. the SEVENTH and last Day or the current SEVENTH and last millennium.
As far as I know at this time, of all the New Testament saints there is none in heaven who was clothed in white raiment; and have on their heads crowns of gold. You should restudy your interpretation.

Hi Momsage. About your concern on "no matching KJB text": if a contributor writes out a Scripture reference that this KJBO Site engine doesn't recognize, then you will get that warning. Quite some time ago, KJBO put out information on what were the acceptable ways of writing Scripture (sorry, I can't find that information now). But in the case of " 2nd Cor 6:[14]", this wouldn't be acceptable because of the brackets used. I always spell the verse/passage out in full (even though it takes up more character spaces), e.g. 2 Corinthians 6:14
, as I know the reader can just hover the pointer over the reference to see it rather than go to the Bible verse. Hope that helps sort this out for you.
Blessings to you all
I'm old, and I remember decades ago struggling at your age. Here's the thing, when I was young, depression was not treated with drugs. The state of being sad and discouraged is not a medical condition. It's a spiritual condition. Sadness cannot be cured by medicine. If you are on SSRI types of medication, read the warning labels. No medical drug should cause thoughts of self harm. Please get off any of those drugs with ssri .
Ask yourself, what is really bothering you. Try to find the root cause of the sadness. If you find the root, it'll be easier to work through. And, know that Jesus said in this world we will have tribulation. It's just a fact that cannot be escaped. For me, knowing that life will be difficult, braces me. Helps me. I'm ready for it.
Here is God's promise to YOU:
"For the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong on behalf of those whose heart is perfect toward him." 2 Chron 16:9.
I hope this comment is somewhat helpful to you. I have children your age, so I feel especially concerned. May you feel the presence of the LORD. Peace to you.
