    You encourage me. We've both found the blessing of living in Gods presence. Things that used to trip me up, I just step over it.

    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.

    Why is it that whenever the Jews are counted it incurs the wrath of God? Don't the present day Jews partake in a census as do most nations? What if any repercussions do they suffer?

    Ezekiel 28:12-15 (the king of Tyrus being another name for Satan.

    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.
  • Jackie Latham - 4 years ago
    Satan started of good before becoming evil. One of satan's many names was the king/prince of Tyrus, Ezekiel, Ezekiel 28:13-15 let's us know he was in the garden of Eden, he was elevated to the anointed cherub that covereth perfect until sin was found in him ( started off good and turned evil).

    Alec,

    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!

    David , I recognise your attitude , it's the attitude of some one trying to justify their actions , I know because I've done it myself many times , when you recognise it yourself you will stop gambling , may God strengthen you and bless you and bring you closer to him .

    John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave (his only (begotten) Son), that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
  • Minister Shields on 1 Timothy 3 - 4 years ago
    Having a license of a minister with credentials of being licensed. Why is it that a Pastor that you are under for nine yrs. will not teach the licensed minister what her role of that title should be about?
  • David - In Reply - 4 years ago
    We all have our own views and we look at things differently, we

    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.

    Brother Earl, thank you for you kind comment. I commend you on diligence in rightly dividing the word of God and encourage you in your quest of Biblical scholasticism. Keep up the wonderful work of Christ!
  • LEON DAVIS on Genesis 1 - 4 years ago
    The final casting out did not occur until after the birth of Christ ( Rev. 12:1-5) and during the days of John the Baptist ( Matt. 11:12). It was then that the adversary began a civil war in heaven, and following his defeat there was a final casting out along with his followers ( Luke 10:18; Rev. 12:7-9); and he is in a state of rage because he knows he will be shortly bound in the bottomless pit ( Rev. 20:1). The restraints upon him during the Old Testament are no longer in place. However, the elect are protected because of the specific prayer request of Christ in John 17:18.

    May GOD bless!

    Philippians 4:6-7

    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.
  • LEON DAVIS on Genesis 1 - 4 years ago
    My brother Chris, thank you the astute observations. There is a difference between the fall of the adversary and the final casting out of heaven. The fall, which occurred following Genesis 1:1 and the aftermath of God's judgment, which is found in Genesis 1:2; included the following consequences. Although still allowed access to heaven, the adversary was stripped of all authority and glory; he had been the adorned, anointed cherub that covereth. However, the beauty of his form was transformed into that of a serpent and a dragon; also, he was demoted to the lowly position of tempter ( Gen. 3:1; Matt. 4:3). All movement was restricted by God's "hook in his hose" ( Job 41:2); and any use of power required permission because God put a "double bridle" on him ( Job 41:13-14). Also, he had to regularly report with the regular angels ( Job 1:6; 2:1). This leads to the reason why he was not immediately destroyed.

    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.
  • Dianne - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 4 years ago
    Brian something to consider the gap that you speak could have occurred between Gen. 1:1 and 1:2 Gen 1:1 states in the beginning when was that nobody knows but God got it correct whether it was 50 million, 5 million or 50,000 years it was still in the beginning also the time frame between Gen 1:1 and 1:2 could have been a lot so man can carbon date all he wants between those two verses you can put dinosaurs cave man all kinds of stuff or whatever it was became a mess, all thats left are fossils. No one really knows the life that was in what remains, but they try to push evolution, I'll stick with Gods Word.

    Hello Fellow Believers.

    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.

  • Earl Bowman - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Jamie, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    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....
  • Dianne - In Reply on Philippians 1 - 4 years ago
    Something to consider sir Christ never leaves us we stop walking in him. you can always ask for forgiveness from the Heart I.E. mean it and get back in fellowship, and by the way God always knows if your honest about it or not. actions always are louder than words. Also He is more willing to foregive us than we are to forgive ourselves, 1 John 3:20 something to consider.
  • Heidi - 4 years ago
    We do not truly love someone if we see destruction coming and neglect to warn them of the dangers of God's eternal judgment. We are the watchmen for our day called upon by God to warn those who are in danger of eternal damnation.

    --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!
  • Dianne - In Reply on Genesis 1 - 4 years ago
    Another point to consider in one of Johns Epistles it states that God is light and in Him is no darkness at all, since that is Gods word than that which God created originally was all order and there can be no darkness in it. Notice Gen. 1:3 first move by God next Let there be light that word is phos spiritual light than later God turns on sun moon stars etc. Also notice carefully how many times God created in Genesis its very interesting. To me I'm after what is God saying not what I'm trying to decipher. Also I endeavor to read Gods word with all related scripture to subject matter considered because I don't believe the Bible has any error at all or contradictions as originally given because of 2 Peter 1:20&21. Just things to consider.
  • Earl Bowman - In Reply on Colossians 1:15 - 4 years ago
    Brother Bob, my CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

    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!

    How can the Bible scriptures comfort a mother who's son at age 26 was murdered. Her son with child she says was the love of his life, and he just won a custody battle, planning a trip with his daughter, was murdered the weekend planned to leave on the trip. She is lost and she ask me to guide her to the gospels and bible scriptures that may help her. Can you help me with my situation ?

    Thanks
