People say, you need to get out more and shop, shop, shop. You look at faces walking through a parking lot, and the emptiness is so visible.
The Holy Spirit captured me :) the first time I knew He had spoken to me. Just to know Im not alone, heals me.
Let's spread this around. May the Lord multiply you with everything you need, to bless His children. And hide you under His Wing when the enemy is near. Surround you with angelic assistance. Give you favor from above, with all endeavors. May we be wise as a serpent, and mild ... as Doves. In Jesus Name. Amen.
As you can see not only was he in the garden of Eden, verse 15 he was perfect (good) until iniquity (sin) was found in him.
The tree of the knowledge of good and evil in the garden.
May the Lord restore peace and life back into me in Jesus name
I agree with Dianne that Christ never leaves us. Guilt and shame can be one of two things: God's Spirit in you bringing conviction to your heart about the sin you are/were involved in, or God's Spirit is bringing conviction to draw you closer to Him, and to cause you to surrender your life to Him. I don't know if you've received Christ. Only you and the Lord know that.
The bible teaches that a person who's been born of God's Spirit can no longer sin (Habitually) because the Spirit in them prevents that from happening. 1 John Chapter 3 Verse 9 says, and I'll give it to you literally from the Greek text. It says "Whosoever has been born of God does not (practice) sin; for God's seed remains, or abides (Permanently) in him: and he cannot sin, that is, he does not have the capacity to sin because he has been born of God.
A person's considered a sinner because the spirit of the devil energizes them to fulfil the desires of their flesh. But once that person is born of the Spirit of God, they no longer have the capacity to continue to satisfy a lifestyle of sin. It's impossible for them to continue in sin. Paul explains it partly in Galatians 5:17 where he says, "For the flesh lusts against God's Spirit, and the Spirit is against the flesh."
That tells me is that I have this conflict going on. In my spirit, I'm saved. But my flesh is not redeemed and still has the same desires it had before I was saved. For believers, there's constant conflict between the flesh and the Spirit of Christ in them. If God's Spirit did not live inside of me, I'd be gone! And that's why God puts His Spirit in a believer's life.
It's more than just in our mind that we believe the truth about Jesus. When we are born of the Spirit of God, His Spirit comes into our life and makes sure that we remain His until He comes for us because our propensity is to go out and do whatever we want. That's why people don't surrender to Christ. It's because they can't do what they want to do anymore!
misunderstand and misinterpret things and it is all because of our
point of view. We must be careful, I see nothing wrong with gambling.
The only thing about gambling that is uncomfortable is when you must
suffer the consequences of loosing your money. And that is something
that you must suffer yourself. That happened to me a couple of times,
but it most certainly did not effect my faith and trust in the Lord at
all. And it did not change the way I feel about God. In fact, my faith
and trust in the Lord became even stronger. A christian that don't
gamble is no better than a gambler. This is something that the Lord
wants mankind to understand.
Let me explain this to you. Many people believe that smoking is a sin,
and they are right, because it is a sin. But why is smoking a sin? It
is a sin because when you smoke, then you cause yourself harm and you
also harm those around you. Does the fumes of a motor vehicle not do
exactly the same? In fact it is far more dangerous than that of a
cigarette. And whosoever gets into any form of transport, is guilty of
the same. So how can we ever escape sin? it is impossible. And don't
forget about the electrical power plants how much pollution they
cause, and even the sweet things we eat and the chemicals we spray on
our bodies. The list is endless. We do all these ungodly things and
are too blind to see it. And can sometimes so easily tell others what
christian s should and should not be doing. The Lord knows that we
cannot escape sin. And that is the reason why he gave his life as a
price for our sins. We must believe in the Love of God if we want to
make a change for the better in our lives. And only he can deliver us
from sin and from evil. This is a process. And it will take time.
May GOD bless!
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
Listening to gospel music also helps a lot. You just present yourself to the Lord and praise and worship him.
Christ opened the spiritual matrix and became the firstfruits and prototype of all who inherit the kingdom of heaven. Similarly, God positioned the adversary as the one who opened the matrix, and created hell for him and the angels which are suggested in the plural pronoun "they" in mentioned in Ezekiel 28:16 and are mentioned in Jude 6 ( Matt. 25:41).
The eternal fate of all humankind is either heaven or hell. Water represents people ( Rev. 17:15). Therefore, for the duration of man's chronological week upon the earth following the fall of Adam and Eve, God is using Christ to draw up the Jordan River, which represents those who will inherit the kingdom, into His mouth ( Job 40:23). Conversely, he uses the adversary as the serpent who eats dust ( Gen. 3:14; 1 Pet. 5:8), from which man is made ( Gen. 2:7), and carry them along with him into hell.
These conditions surrounding the fall of the adversary were effective throughout the Old Testament. However, the final casting did not occur until the days of John the Baptist ( Matt. 11:12). See the following post.
May the Lord grace you with knowledge and wisdom.
I recently read that in Biblical days "dogs" were male prostitutes. Let he who is with Kibble cast the first Bits. Floyd refers to them as avaricious corporations in Animals, 1977.
I have a Christian joke to share on the subject of perversion. It provides an equal and opposite reactions to war. Good for campfire chatter, almost worth a quick grin.
"A sinner goes to confession and tells the priest: sir, I've never ____ a 10, but one night, I ____ 5 twos."
I'm highlight my humor windows, using laughter as a healing tool. A few weeks ago a friend said something so funny, we howled for a few minutes, the perfect storm hit, I fell over on the ground. At one point, I was dying listening to the echo of my buddy trying to breathe. I'm convinced laughter is an antidote for pain/stress. The euphoric chemical reaction is heavenly. My sleep includes vivid, remembered dreams. However temporary, it's amazing.
We live in this world, the world is all around us, it effects us. But where ARE WE, are we part of the world, or ARE WE apart from the world.
Do you spend all you time listening to the radio or television about this world and current events trying to figure out physical and literal prophesies or studying God's Word about who we are and what we will be doing for eternity.
Jesus said there would be wars and rumors of wars, famine, pestilence and death going on around us while we are being drawn into the Kingdom of God.
Most don't understand the kingdom of God because they spend all their time on the literal, see, hear, touch. This is going to DISAPPEAR.
Revelation is as REAL as it gets, but the REAL meaning is HIDDEN. It's Spiritual it can't be seen.
Which is more important to know, the devil was cast out of a literal heaven or that heaven represent you and the devil was cast out of you. Big difference. That the Harlot of Babylon is some word power or we are the harlot that left our FIRST LOVE and became unfaithful to our husband, Jesus. Big difference.
That the beast and false prophet are OUT THERE SOMEWHERE waiting to be revealed or that we individually or the beast and false prophet and have to be destroyed by the TRUTH of God's word. Big difference.
It becomes very personal to understand and BELIEVE that WE and the FATHER and SON are ONE.
Jesus HAS ALREADY RETURNED if the above statement in true in you.
Colossians 1:27 ...this mystery...CHRIST IN YOU....
--Lynn Cooper
"Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
"When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand."- Ezekiel 3:17,18.
What a powerful reminder for all of us!
Your comment: All that Jesus received was from the Father. That makes him the Son of God.
MORE TRUTH: Everything You receive is from the Father. That makes you a son of God.
1 Corinthians 4:7 For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what has thou that thou didst not receive? and if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hast not received it?
TRUTH will set you free!
Amos 9:2 Though they dig into hell, thence shall mine hand take them; though they climb up to heaven, thence will I bring them down:
Thanks
Thank you so much for praying for us!
God bless.
