please keep myself and my daughters and there families in your prayers remember my co workers most are so lost and so bitter

O Lord, it is possible for You to do (healing) to Your servants - the wards of funds and their families, named: "Annunciation"; "Thank you"; "Thank you"; "Thanks"; "Grace"; "A good cause"; "Blessing"; "Charity. Functionality. Performance"; "Assistance to convicts and their families"; do this to them, visit Your fallen servants with Your ineffable love for humanity, so that the work of Your hand may not perish to the end. In the name of Jesus. Amen.

Brother David, I believe that we've all enjoyed your posts & through them, the encouragement you've given us to live the Christ-centred life. I personally would welcome your input here as you have much to offer for our mutual benefit; and together we help each other in growing in the knowledge of our Lord & His precious Word. In this world, with so much to tear away at our minds & lives, it's wonderful to come away & fellowship with those of like precious faith & who have a yearning to see our Lord & enjoy His Presence with continual worship & praise. A precious old hymn that reflects the longing of my heart & I'm sure, yours as well:

1. Some day the silver cord will break,

And I no more as now shall sing;

But oh, the joy when I shall wake

Within the palace of the King!

Refrain:

And I shall see him face to face,

And tell the story - saved by grace;

And I shall see him face to face,

And tell the story - saved by grace.

2. Some day my earthly house will fall,

I cannot tell how soon 'twill be;

But this I know - my All in All

Has now a place in heav'n for me.

3. Some day, when fades the golden sun

Beneath the rosy tinted west,

My blessed Lord will say, "Well done!"

And I shall enter into rest.

4. Some day: till then I'll watch and wait,

My lamp all trimmed and burning bright,

That when my Saviour ope's the gates,

My soul to him may take its flight.

Every blessing brother.

Thank you very very much for our collective prayer for the Sbunu-Mpani case.The case was finalized and dismissed as per my prayer request.Mpani was humiliated and floored by our legal representative. Please pray for our safety individually for he vows to fix us one by one.This is a threat against our lives. Thank you so so so much .

Amen brother Carleton. Isaiah 53:6b: "and the LORD hath laid on him (Jesus) the iniquity of us all". And by faith in the crucified One, our "iniquities" are presented to the Father in His Son, Who mercifully forgives us & fully justifies us ('just if I'd' never sinned). The wonder of His Salvation - that all the praise must only go to Him. Romans 3:24; Romans 5:1.

I saw a really good teaching by: ROCK ISLAND BOOKS; on YouTube; TITLED: END TIMES - DANIEL UNSEALED. Its a lot of math and Scripture.

As in the days of Daniels lifetime. The math begins in book of Numbers & Exodus. Included is all the times Israel sinned as a nation; God reset the clock. Clock resetting happened when Israel sinned.

Now in the past when anyone tries to set a date, it doesn't fly. In Jewish Weddings when the couples house is ready to be lived in, the Father tells the Groom to go get his Bride.

More often I favor the Ten Virgins Parable. Matthew 25. Not everyone is a math+prophesy genius. Jesus didn't set a date, and neither do I. He said to be ready to meet the Bridegroom As in a Jewish Wedding. I keep that in mind.

Some of the virgins were not ready and were Left Behind.

I'm more of a sign watcher. I don't have anyone distracting me except a bossy cat and 2 birds. :/

I read tons of stuff. The Holy Spirit leads me to incredible facts. Like, Covid originated in China, Africa and the eastern Mideast. The National colors of China are mentioned in the Bible. History shows origins of every past pandemic/pestilence. Africa is over-run with locust swarms that eat the crops they desperately need. And it's spreading into the Mideast. Most countries don't help with $$ to spray the pests.

Our Government is not helping Israel as in the past. God blesses the nations that bless Israel. They've requested help to keep the Iron Dome armed. Looks like Congress is acting dazed and confused. As a result, our nation is experiencing the curses in Leviticus. Such as, OUR ENEMIES WILL BREACH OUR BORDERS. We got that: China, all of South America, Mexico, Haiti and Palestinians.

The New Madrid fault zone (USA) is having tremors.

Jesus could return this year.

Please read these scriptures & pray for understanding, if you have any trouble seeing this mystery = James 1:5

Romans 8:3

Isaiah 53

John 3:16

1 Peter 2:22

Hebrews 4 the chapter

Hebrews 4:15

Hopefully these are helpful :)

There is no exact date in the Bible for the birth of Jesus. But we can figure approximately when he was born. Jesus began his ministry at the age of 30 and his ministry lasted for 3.5 years. He died on Nisan 14th. Count back six months you get Sept.-Oct. Luke 3:23 says Jesus was about 30 years old when he began is ministry.

Hello, A few meditations by thinking in part on 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 .

Man lacks Righteousness and yet seems to know that it is a quality that is desired. A quality that if found would be purchased if possible. Man seems to also know that Righteousness is peace and peace is rest. Man wants this rest. Man's works are works that cannot be satisfied no matter how much man tries to be good. This unrestful state is a burden, a weight that cannot be justified. This absence of justification for this burden is sin. God in His mercy knew this condition of man would be unbearable and gave us His son as a treasure that would be paid for by God himself.

Because all things are of God, God reconciled us to himself by his son Jesus Christ. To lift the burden from man by not imputing the trespasses of man on man but on His son Jesus Christ. He made Jesus to be sin for us, who had no sin nor burden of works before the space of time of the Cross at Calvary. This mercy offering by God of His son was granted by God's Righteousness and Holiness in the Work of the son who knew no sin except our sin and our works at Calvary that we (might) be made the righteousness of God in him. God justified all sin in His son by the death of sin in the Righteousness and Holiness of God. Man looking up to Christ by faith leaves that burden of unrighteous works which is sin upon Jesus and is healed in the Righteousness of God and gains peace which is rest from his own works. The born again believer is made the righteousness of God and is Holy in Him. The born again believer as a new creature in Christ Jesus knew once the sin in Christ, but now forgiveness. Because of God's righteousness the child of God, now also knows no man after the flesh but knows the ministry of reconciliation by the word, in their new life in the flesh as a living testimony.

could we have a link that goes directly to the Commentary Box?

Wesley's Notes for 2 Corinthians 5:21

He made him a sin offering, who knew no sin - A commendation peculiar to Christ. For us - Who knew no righteousness, who were inwardly and outwardly nothing but sin; who must have been consumed by the divine justice, had not this atonement been made for our sins. That we might be made the righteousness of God through him - Might through him be invested with that righteousness, first imputed to us, then implanted in us, which is in every sense the righteousness of God.

People's Bible Notes for 2 Corinthians 5:21

Hath made him [to be] sin for us, who knew no sin. As a sinless substitute he suffered for our sins, that we might be made the righteousness of God in him. That our sins might thus be atoned for, the law satisfied, and we be forgiven and accounted righteous. Since we die with Christ, in him we pay the penalty, and are justified.

No, it's round

Isaiah 40:22

Walk outside and look at the moon. Is is flat or round?

Blessings :D

I praise the Lord for the open forum that is presented here. I'm not an expert in the Bible, but in the Love of Christ I will attempt to help some of the discussions of the Brethren. I believe the study of the Scripture is mainly to make me more like Christ. Then I can fulfill my responsibly as a child of God, to go and make disciples.

How my brother or sister lives in Christ is not for me to question, unless I have a pact with them to help in our mutual growth in Christ (accountability).

If a pastor, preacher or for that matter if any one does something I do not agree with, I should go straight to that person and talk to them. First I

should pray. Again in the love of God, Scripture tells me, I am to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

I've advised friends, family, and other folk regarding these types of issues; that there is really only one of three things you can choose from to do. First, you can go and speak to the other party in the Spirit of Love. Secondly, you can quietly and in prayer give it to the Lord and let the Lord God Jesus Christ handle it and without any more thought, serve and worship the Lord there. Lastly, leave in the grace of God and seek another body of believers to worship with.

Just remember, our whole task is to become more like Christ, and worship Him with all of our soul, mind, and heart.

May the Lord continue to shine His face on you and your family. May we all be like Barnabas, the son of consolation, and bring comfort to the brethren, but most of all Glorify and Praise the Lord. I pray this will help us to further the Kingdom of God as we await His soon coming in the clouds.

I really loved your comment. God can be found outside of the church with nothing but a king james bible and a sincere heart. I find that God talks to me when I read it. Nuggets is what I call them....I get nuggets of information, as if God were talking to me. It truly is the living word. Praise God for He is alive and well.And thank you for sharing , God Bless you, Sincerely, Chris Payne

Dear heavenly father, who is in heaven, I ask that you bless Arturo Velasco with the Holy Spirit. He is in need of wisdom and understanding. This I pray and ask in the name of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

Hello Julia

Don't believe your pastor when he says this, Quite simple if it's written in the bible it's God's word, and we should believe scripture before man. Jesus tells us that we are to believe as a child, and as in 2 Peter and 2 Timothy, the bible is written by holy men through the inspiration of God,

I hope this helps

Matthew 18:3 "And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven."

2 Timothy 3:16-17 "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" "That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works."

2 Peter 1:20-21 "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation." "For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost."

Where do I find the prayer " Hail Mary" that the Catholics repeat continuously like it was an actual prayer everyone should pray. I know the lords prayer but not the other. I was told that people pray this because they believe her to be an intercessor between man and GOD. I don't believe this to be true so I need to find answers.

God bless you..........

Whao! thank you for your deep knowledge & teaching. Specifically i was referring to open street preaching & one on one meeting.

Thank you,am grateful.

As ChrisE has stated, that God, by His Spirit, wins souls, i.e. enlightens the lost to their severity of their sins, makes the Gospel which they receive from us their healing balm, & brings about contrition of their sins & appealing to the Lord Jesus Who died for them.

Romans 10:13 -15: "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach, except they be sent? as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things!"

For the bearing & sharing of this Good, soul-saving News, God has given His children this responsibility. All we have to do is to share with conviction & love for the lost - the Spirit does the rest of the work. But when you ask of the "most effective way", then the matter of contextualizing comes in, i.e. when the Gospel is shared, it is done in terms of who is being reached, his culture, the situation he is in, & his understanding of biblical Truth. My ministry in the past was mainly to Muslims in Pakistan & some in the U.K. I wouldn't use the same approaches or Scriptures I use for them as I would to someone in a Western culture, who is probably not religiously-inclined & has a different world-view or different issues in life. So, we need to know about the people group, or the person (if you're referring to witnessing on a one-on-one basis in your country/neighbourhood).

So, are you thinking of open-air street preaching, a personal one-on-one meeting, or even going over to a foreign land (on God's call)? Depending on your direction, you will need to adapt to the situation & the people. Most Christian workers going to a foreign land usually spend a number of years learning the language & culture & developing a rapport with the people. Only then will hearts begin to open.

We are waiting for the discussion to open up for sharing . I know that God does hear my prayers and I also pray for

others. I pray for the whole World and God's people everywhere.

Please bring back the Comment Section. That was great to hear how others Are overcomes and blessed by God.

Thanks!

Please explain 2 Corinthians 5:21. Thanks

Dgjot,

We do have the Comforter, the Holy Spirit but miracles still happen today and the gifts of the Spirit are still given. In the world, today deception is so widespread as in ( 2 Peter 2:1-3) it has created such a farce it is hard to see the truth. The truth of these gifts and the sons and daughters who have the gifts are not of this world, money, gratitude, and fame. It is like giving, "let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth".

May some on this site give you their understanding on this that may answer your question better than me but I will give you mine.

Satan is still walking this earth and there are demons on this earth. ( 2 Corinthians 11:13-15). I can personally testify they are real and without Jesus, we cannot survive their attack.

We do not have the power, only with the name of Jesus and the power of the Holy Spirit through us. We must be solid in our faith and baptized in the Holy Spirit or we will find ourselves as in ( Acts 19:13-16).

Tongues are languages as we see in ( Acts 2:5-12), the disciples were speaking to them in their language and they could tell them the gospel of Jesus Christ even though they did not speak their language. The gift of tongues is still today, sadly many use it falsely and it is babel used on people's emotions and for self-gain.

We as disciples of Jesus are to plant the seed of the gospel of Jesus Christ and to water by the example of our walk, and love for Jesus and them and with the word of God. We cannot win souls, we cannot add to the Church, God does the choosing but through the Holy Spirit, He guides our steps to those He may choose.

Regardless if someone has heard the name of Jesus, the words we have been given through the Holy Spirit may be what they have never heard. ( 1 Corinthians 3:6-8) "For many are called, but few are chosen".

My understandings, may others have more for you.

God bless,

RLW
