Please pray for me and my family, my divorced me after 30y marriage after I lost my job. I am being tormented and accused being taken to court on false accusation and on the court date she withdraws the cases, slander ia all she does everywhere I am known she goes and slanders my name. I am suffering tremendous abuse from her my two kid's don't want to talk to her

BE WITH ME WHERE I AM

1 Peter 1:23 Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible (seed), BY THE WORD OF GOD, which liveth and abideth forever.

By reading and speaking God's word, these words began to overcome you, and you began to become ONE with these words, UNTIL:

John 17:21 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.

John 17:22 And the glory thou hast given me, I HAVE GIVEN THEM, that they may be ONE, even as we are ONE:

John 17:23 I in them, and thou in me, that they maybe made PERFECT IN ONE; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.

John 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou has given me, BE WITH ME WHERE I AM; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast give me: for thou lovest me before the foundation of the world.

Christ is IN HIS CREATION ( Colossians 1:27) bring them to the Father, when you depart this flesh YOU are going to be with Christ in HIS CREATION, bringing HIS CREATION to TRUTH ( Revelation 10:11).

Prayers and love to the faint at heart ! may your heart and souls be protected by a mighty king !

Brother Doug,

The referenced scripture regards the piercing of the ear of a Hebrew slave that has decided to remain with their master after serving 6 years of service.

Additional scripture:

Exodus 21:1-6

1Now these are the judgments which thou shalt set before them. 2If thou buy an Hebrew servant, six years he shall serve: and in the seventh he shall go out free for nothing. 3If he came in by himself, he shall go out by himself: if he were married, then his wife shall go out with him. 4If his master have given him a wife, and she have born him sons or daughters; the wife and her children shall be her master's, and he shall go out by himself. 5And if the servant shall plainly say, I love my master, my wife, and my children; I will not go out free: 6Then his master shall bring him unto the judges; he shall also bring him to the door, or unto the door post; and his master shall bore his ear through with an aul; and he shall serve him for ever.

They lived a very different lifestyle than we do today - thank God!

God Bless

Hiya Bro. Dan GBU lemme give ya my slant on the 2 thieves, They are ALL of US as Paul said i am Crusified with Christ yet its not i that live but Christ that lives with in me and the life i now live is by the faith of Christ Jesus etc. Bro. Dan we must all be Crusified with Christ. And as far as him NEVA knowing us that what he wants is for US humanity to know HIM thats when that good seed is sown in our hearts initiating a birth of A BABY CHRIST IN US, OUTTA OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES AND SUCKLING THOU HAS PERFECTED PRAISE,Our old man is made white at repentence but he answers to the sow that returns to her mud and the dog that returns to his vomit. That is what happens when we bring forth no fruit unto God meaning a heavenly birth of Christ in us the H.G the Child of Promise, its the H.G. the CHILD OF Promise that pleases God. our old nature returns to his vomit etc That y he has to KNOW US that when the good seed is sown in our hearts resulting in a heavenly Birth of Christ in us. THAT PLEASES GOD 100 % (((( BRO DAN )))) GBU

Sister Sacha:

Philippians 2:13 For it is God (Spirit, truth, life) that WORKETH in you both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

He will make each of PERFECT in his appointed time.

Be still and behold the salvation of God.

There is never a reason to be ashamed, we are his creation and he knows how to make each of COMPLETE.

Any TRUE brother or sister understands this.

God uses you, but it's him not you.

God's grace covers ALL.

You have a gift let God express it through you.

Part 1

If I may give my understanding, did Jesus speak in parables, if so, why? Luke 8:10. In this chapter Jesus was condemning putting faith in wealth and not God, using parables. The Sadducees especially were covetous, they flaunted their wealth and the seat of authority they had and were living in adultery. The Pharisees held many spiritual beliefs not found in the Law of Moses and started in on Jesus. So, according to the rest of the context, Lazarus and the rich man was most likely a parable on the same subject.

One thing I have found that bears consideration on Luke 16 parable. When Jesus first came, many of the Jews were highly Hellenized and many interpretations of the Law had changed. Greek had become for many the major language and Greek philosophy was deep.

We see when Stephen and others were chosen to tend to the Hellenized (Grecian) Christian Jewish widows Acts 6:1-5. This parable would have been understood by the heavy Greek influence about death that still influences today. Jesus explains many of the parables to the disciples but this explanation is not recorded. But, is just being poor worthy of the gift of eternal life?

If our soul or spirit is immortal why would scripture say we are mortal and must put on immortality and this happens at the resurrection. 1 Corinthians 15:53-57. Does it not say we are sown in corruption, 1 Corinthians 15:42-44? Is not resurrection rising from the dead not descending from the living?

When this body dies what is left? Scripture tells us without spirit our body dies, James 2:26. Spirit, Latin spiritus, Greek pneuma, is breath, life, and consciousness, being awake, aware of your surrounding and how we respond to it either with vigor or idleness 1 Corinthians 2:11.

Brother Chris,

You stated: "to learn the Truth by reading God's Word for themselves"

Well said! I will also take up your offer to pray, that I, along with you, and others, may endeavor to read and understand the scriptures with the help of God's Holy Spirit. Amen.

Luke 24:45

"Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,"

Good Bless.

Part 2

When we die it is the same as when we sleep, we are not conscious, we are asleep in Jesus, Psalm 146:4 Ecclesiastes 9:5,10 we have no knowledge of our surroundings or time. This is the spirit that goes back to God who gave it. Ecclesiastes 12:7.

1 Thessalonians 4:14, when Jesus returns, this earth is round and those that are Christs will come from all over, and we see different places describing the gathering, Matthew 24:31, Mark 13:27, 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17 along with Jesus, God brings those that are Christs with Him, the second coming back to earth to set up the kingdom on earth. I understand those who believe in the rapture being carried to heaven will disagree.

Soul; Hebrew, nephesh, meaning a soul, living being animal or human, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion. Greek psuch meaning, life, as the seat of affections and will, the self, the conscience, the individual. In our conscience that is in our soul is where the battle of the desires of the flesh and the Spirit. This is what remains asleep in the grave where ever the grave may be, awaiting resurrection when we put on immortality. Psalms 49:15 John 5:28-29

When are we absent from this body? 2 Corinthians 2:6-10 When do we appear at the judgment seat? 1 Thessalonians 2:19 1 Corinthians 15:22-23. When is a corn plant absent from its seed is it not when it springs forth from its grave of the earth? We are sown and until we are resurrected, being changed like the corn seed from corruption to incorruption, and this mortal puts on immortality being freed from this body of corruption, then we will be present with the Lord.

Sorry I got wordy I am sure not all will agree but that is ok this is just what I see.

God bless us all in the love of Jesus.

RLW

Thank you Lord for walking with me through my afflictions. Thank you for not forsaking me. Your Word comforts me, and brings me peace that I cannot explain. Thank you Lord for how you are ever present with me. Bless those who are against me, shine your face on all of us. Thank you Lord as I eagerly await your coming as you promised. Praise you Lord for your Love and Comfort.

October 23, 2021

I praise You Heavenly Father! D did NOT go out last night. Thank you brethren for praying. Please keep praying for his deliverance. Your reward will be in Heaven.

Please continue to pray for the family needing salvation and deliverance and Angelic intervention and binding of demonic assaults , physical assaults, and that God would raise up an invisible shield around the souls, spirits, and minds of those on the receiving end of verbal assaults and emotional trauma.

That The Sweet Holy Ghost would speak into their spirits all of Gods promises and love for these domestic abuse victims (especially the children who's Angels always behold the face of The Father) and divinely protect them.

And that God would bring the perpetrators to their knees with conviction, with fear, and trembling, and repentance,

That they would be willing to receive Gods Forgiveness, mercy, deliverance, and salvation. That they would fully repent. And serve The Living God Almighty with their whole hearts.

No more hiding but healing instead. Let go.and let God

In Jesus name Amen!

Dear Brother Earl , thankyou so much for being brave and for doing what was the right thing to do . I respect you so much for that . You have put me back on the straight and narrow and I really appreciate what you did . Much love in Christ .

So, where does the spirit reside, we do not know the physical location. On this side of heaven, we will never know. Paul says that we will know as we are known in 1 Corinthians 13:12.

Even if the answer as to the physical location of the spirits of the dead, could we comprehend with our lowly human brain? Surely not. However, one day we will know everything about everything.

I love your words "I can understand & appreciate the "twofold purpose" of the 'parable'; for indeed tis true, but the third purpose I see that leaps out to the reader, is of the awful torment that awaits those who have given little regard to God's Laws & practice of 'true religion". This point is either missed or ignored by so many professing Christians. Well said.

Paul's writings, in addition to being very complicated and sometimes confusing, reflect a belief that he would still be alive at the second coming of Christ. This is also true for John the Revelator. Given this view of the quickness of the return, some passages must be looked upon as reflecting this belief.

2 Corinthians 5:8 must be read within the context of the first 7 verses for understanding. I do not read verse 8 as being an immediate transferring of the spirit from the body to heaven but as a comparison of the bodily tabernacle and its earthly existence to the tabernacle that awaits us in heaven. To me, Paul is expressing his, and perhaps our, desire to pass from the earthly existence into an existence with Christ and God, but without a timetable of it being immediate.

I thank you for our conversations and find them extremely enlightening.

May God grant you a blessed day my brother in Christ.

Bill

can someone explain Deu 15:17?

Hi Brother Glenn,

I agree, it's a disaster. Everyone wants to create their own interpretation of scripture, rather than read and accept the GOD'S WORD at face value. God made the main message simple for everyone to understand, yet many want to make it so complicated.

It really brings home this scripture:

Matthew 7:14-15

14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.

FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT! Jesus knew that few will preserver with HIS WORD!

Next here you go:

15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Many church's/congregations today seem to be more concerned with growing the congregation, and increasing their income, than preaching the WORD.

This scripture is so true:

2 Timothy 4:3

"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears;"

Something said here by Jesus that is so simple and easy to understand, but many will still turn their backs on Jesus:

John 14:15

"If ye love me, keep my commandments."

Happy Sabbath Day, and God Bless.

Dear Brother Mishael , thankyou so much for your kind words towards me . You have cheered me up so much with your golden heart . Hubby thanks you too as I am hard to live with if I'm sad so he is very gratefull for your generosity towards me as it makes me nicer to live with . Don't let this cold dark world affect your golden heart , Christ sees you and loves you very much as do we . If any one on here is offended by women preaching/teaching they will just have to get over themselves and ignore my posts . I'm not going any where . May God show you His awesome loving kindnesses every day .

Good morning brother Chris!

Oh, the power of this discussion! So much to share together and expand our minds in the Spirit.

Your last post opens a wealth of information contained in both the Old and New Testaments as we know them.

We must agree that we have, and will keep, very separate views of the story of the beggar, Lazarus. I have no problem with our differing views as it is my firm conviction, that with few verese excluded, God reveals truth on an individual basis. This is where we two are on this scripture.

My personal belief is that ALL souls do, and always have, leave the body and go to a "holding place" until the gathering of the church by Christ. Further, I do not believe there is a "chasm" between the good and bad souls across which the two sides can see and talk with each other; prior to the resurrection or afterward.

Revelation 20:14 says that death and hades, Greek, (Sheol Hebrew), are thrown into the lake of fire. Why? Because they are no longer part of God's realm - death will be absent in eternity and the residence of the souls is unnecessary because of the judgment of the non-believer in verse 20:11.

I believe Revelation 20:14 explains the place all souls reside after death until the gathering of the church and the following judgment of the lost. If the place is named, its location is not. However, it does exist and verses indicate Christ visited Sheol during the three days prior to the resurrection - 1 Peter 3:18-20; Ephesians 4:9-10, (see Psalms 68:18, Isaiah 61:1-2, and Luke 4:18).

Why would Christ visit the souls in Sheol? All covenants before that of Christ did not include salvation, only atonement for sin by animal blood. The spirits of all that died prior to the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ were given the chance to acknowledge Christ and His salvation to allow them to be participants in the salvation provided by the resurrection.

God would have none perish in the eternal fire as He is love.

See 2

Division in the body of Christ or denominational influence started in the first century its what the Apostle Paul fought against because people were no longer walking by the spirit but judging others and each other by the senses 1 Corinthians 3:3 which got to the point where in 2 Timothy 1:15 Paul Writes This thou knowest that all which are in Asia be turned away from me and this man witness to all of asia in 2 years and 3 months so thats how far back the function of the one body in Christ in practice was lost.

Shalom!

I love old Israel and they were Sola Scriptura they knew the TORAH by HEART But Israel stoned all the Prophets and rejected the Christ . Jesus said which of the Prophets have not your fathers stoned . Thats y Jesus said search the scriptures in them you think you have eternal life But it is them that testify of me which are the Living WORDS the BOOK in the right hand of the father,That BOOK of Life. The bible is precious and holy but there is no eternal life in the bible per se. If Eternal Life were in the written word then Christ shed his blood in vain and the cross was just foolishness thus its the book in in th right hand of the father that Jesus wrote with his own blood that is the book of life that new covenant in his Blood . The bible the written word answers to the lesser light but the living word is the BOOK IN THE RIGHTHAND OF THE Father answers to the greater LIGHT. Which is Christ Jesus the light of the world. But the nite comes when no man can work ( the last 2000 yrs ) That great falling away. Who testifies of Christ its his living Words that are spirits the Israel of God that are gonna be born in US SINNERS JEW AND GENTILE ALIKE. In the volume of the book it is written of me i delight to do thy will Oh God which is the book of LIFE in the father's right hand that new Covenant. The Living words which are baby Christ the H.G. PLURAL, The offspring of the woman are Baby Christ that are gona be born in US via his seed etc. And they testify of him . Whosoever receiveth one such child in my NAME RECEIVETH ME . When the book is opened the woman goes into travail and Child birth Simply b/c the New Covenant is a birthing Covenant . Unless you are bornagain . The Book is the New Covenant after it was opened they all sang a new song .

I love the lord jesus and live under GOD DESIER plan of life on this earth to the everlasting life through jesus the savelir

Thank you ,and i plan to

Glenn I'll give you two examples that I know of denominational thought. When younger I attended a Methodist Church and one day I ask the pastor what was the beginning of methodists and he told me that John wesley had a method of preaching the bible in England hence methodists, the other was of course lutherans follow after Martin luther but if we are all part of body of christ then why not call yourself Christian, but I guess that's to easy.

I am believe in my heart that Christ Jesus died for my sins and that he arose again after his death on the cross the 3rd day. He is coming again to set up his mighty kingdom on this earth!@

. In the gospel of Mathew starting at verse 23 to 32 the context of the conversation is at the time of the resurrection all these things he's teaching apply including verse 32 Jesus says I am the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob, God is not the God of the dead but of the living when context at the resurrection. This applies to all who had died.

That woman in Rev. 12 : 5 is the very best example of the new birth and faith as real faith brings on a Spritual Pregnancy from hearing the living Word the seed of the sower ,Thats y real Faith is the substance of things hoped for the evidence of things not seen which is a Spritual Pregnancy that precedes the new birth as that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit thats the H.G. the Child of Promise . Unless ya receive the Kingdom of heaven as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in . Faith comes by hearing the living Word but the living Word is that good seed that produces a heavenly Birth. Being bornagain of an incorruptible seed even by the Words ( the living Word ) of God not the written word search the scriptures in them you think you have eternal life but it is them that testify of ME Which is the living WORDS HIS SEED ETC . Even in the natural a mans seed testifies of him . The Woman's Child testfies of Christ Jesus Simply b/c she heard his Words/seeds etc. Thats y i continue to say that Real Faith is Spritual Pregnancy unless ya receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child, a new born that new born babe desiring the sincere milk of the word is the H.G. My lil children of whom i travail in birth till Christ is formed in you. The woman had the substance of things hoped the evidence of things not seen her Child spritually speaking the H.G. 27 Times in the O.T. THE PROPHETS saw the world in travail and birth pains. I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven that was the great Promise.

Chris To answer your question yes because anything the true God does the adversary counterfeits it and gives a com bination of truth and lies. What was conjured up by the witch of endor was a devil spirit known as a familiar spirit [necromancer]which means it knew what saul looked like and how he spoke and what he knew when he was living. Everything that the Counterfeit Samuel said was accurate including the part where Saul was going to die because the adversary knew Saul was dead. The dead are dead and will not resurrect until either the gathering together of the church return of Christ if born again or the resurrection of the just and unjust in the book of revelation. I know christians don't believe this stuff is real but that's what makes the adversary the father of lies. Remember in Genesis thou shalt not die you'll be as smart as God when God said thou shalt surely die and they lost there spiritual connection and eventually took last breath and returned to dust of the ground. Not one place in the bible are they called demons they are devils or messengers of Satan they are spirit beings only working for the enemy. Saul not only sought her advice but broke bread with her that's how checked out saul was mentally. Look at Deuteronomy 18:9-12, the Witch of Endor knew this! There's more to this field of understanding it is a significant part of our spiritual battle. Also seances where they say they talk to the deceased same trip different method, these were held at the white house by several presidents wives!

For you God are kind to the unthankful and evil. praise thee!oh wretched man that i am. Praise the for ever and ever and ever! amen!

I pray LORD, that we may all be men (& women) after thy own heart. that all our ways will be pleasing unto thee alway. for it is your good pleasure to give us (ur creation after your image and likeness) the kingdom of heaven which is righteousness, and peace, and joy in the HolyGhost. thank you so much for saving me and others. you are the kindest, nicest most precious, above all to my heart. you make the sun to shine and warm me, the moon to bless my heart too, water and food. Peace that passes understanding when hope wanteth to fee away. i am safe, thy gentle mighty holy hand surrounds me in protection, and like wise all your saints, specially those that are faithful in trusting you who cast their care upon you our heavenly father. thank you so much. may praises of the joy of my heart fill the heavens and the whole earth alway. Praise you, Praise you, Praise you forever more who art worthy of all Glory, and honour and power, for thou hast created all things to praise thy holy name for ever more. Blessed are those who's iniquity's are covered, who's transgressions are put as far as the east is from the west. Bless all your holy household, from the least first unto the greatest. and may we all obtain those like precious crowns that please thy heart to reward us thy unprofitable servants.. may all come to a knowledge of the and be saved. all! amen amen amen amen amen amen! forevermore, amen!

praise the Lord in all he has done for us praise the Lord for the promises he makes to us
