as if being a pendulum

Hallo friend in Jesus Christ. Have you read some word from the Proverbs? Proverbs is a good Learning. Pray and sing in your heart a song for Him that have done all things posible.

Some years ago il pray that the Lord take me out from my situation, who was at that time werry boring. Ill wantet more salvation and that ill get a work for Him.

Suddenly one day it knock on my door, and il promise you everything get no more boring! For that noise and activity have i never experienced in life. this was holding on for almost two years, after it felt like a lifetime. I was exhausted without my song in the heart. My tears was gone too.

But il get what il praid for.

Then after two years, alone and boring again. I'll remebered what I'll pray that boring day two years earlier. And I'll get ashamed becose i then understand that it was my selfish thoughts who had sent me in that direction. And worst of all. Ill lost so much!

In this morning July 12 2021 He let me remember that He Knows Everything From The begining of all things! He evan know all my hair, and yours mm. And in my heart I'll sing and pray all day again. And never ever I'll will ask for more than I'll already have. Ill pray for you my friend in Jesus, that you put on some patience shoe, and it is a good work to pray and give comfort. And remember:

2 Corinthians 10. 4. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;

5. Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

6. And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled. Amen Go in Peace in Jesus name.

Hallo dear brother. I pray and got a word from the Holy Bible. So never forget that Jesus Christ have taken control over death. Give Him the Attention. Belive in the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved.

Acts. 16

30. And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

31. And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. Amen

Sissy,

When we die, the spirit goes back to God and our soul sits in Hades, awaiting resurrection.

Look up Lazarus and the rich man and father Abraham.

Satan's still a sinner too! Just like you unbelievers!

1 Thessalonian 4 purports a seventh trumpet resurrection of both dead and surviving sealed saints, coming out of the great tribulation. Since this occurs 42 months AFTER the abomination of desolation, it nullifies such beliefs; it proves the notion and timing of a "rapture" is unsound. The saints were not taken up BEFORE the abomination of desolation, but only at the seventh trumpet, 42 months later. You would want to be "taken" before the great tribulation, not after.

Since 1 Thessalonian 4:17 occurs at the last trumpet, equivalent to Revelation 11:15, it is the first resurrection of the sealed saints only. The dead rise first before the living, therefore this is a small, treasured group of people, and not the whole group. Revelation 14 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Zion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand...These sealed saints overcame the beast and his mark, they are virgins who will rule with Christ for 1K years. Who among us can be described like that, and who will make it to the end alive?

IT IS NOT Ezekiel 37:1-14 either (2nd resurrection), because here BOTH houses of Israel (Israel & Judah) are being resurrected and stand up as the WHOLE HOUSE of Israel. AND THEY'RE ALL DEAD!!!

This "lifting up" event is misinterpreted so badly, seeing that billions and billions of Christian sinners will require a new earth and new heaven to accommodate them all. Everyone involved should humble their place in line. Counting yourselves among the Revelation 14:4 saints is rather precarious, indeed. Does man immediately deserve to stand alongside the elect saints, and Jesus Christ?

Revelation 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. The second resurrection is for the rest, other than the elect, of which the majority are not. When the fast bullets fly, we will get a new perspective on Hebrews 9:27.

I really need prayer for God to lead me in the right path, reveal my enemies, watch over and protect my family, give back what the devil took from us, heal all the sick people, and give me back what the devil stoled from me. Thank you God for never leaving my side.

Hi Mishael,

I must have missed your posting on this over a year ago. I also posted the 7 Steps of a Jewish wedding a long while back, probably over a year ago, maybe two? You may not have read what I had posted on the 7 steps. If you could see what I posted and what you just posted, you would be "blown away" that we both said the exact same thing. I just think that it's sort of eerie that we would both post the exact same thing word for word. I mean literally word for word in all seven steps. What are the odds of that?

If you don't mind me asking, where did you get those 7 steps of a Jewish wedding from? What I shared came from a pastor whose ministry I sat under for several years. I took it from an audio transcript from one of his bible studies I attended. This was about 10 years ago. I also have the written transcript of his audio. I just read it and it matches perfectly word for word the same thing you and I both posted.

We are in the end times be cautious

Timothy sims up the given times

Sounds yummy!!!

Born again, "Surely he cannot enter a second time into his mother's womb to be born!" This is what Nicodemus said to Jesus, proving he knew as much about being "born again" as we do today. Further highlighting that we in the 21st century don't understand scripture, and haplessly apply our own definitions.

Only one person has been "born again" being resurrected from death. That person was Jesus.

"Born again Christian's" and "rapturists" drink from the same well.

When misguided faith merges with religious dogma, God's word suffers, and the people are lead astray.

Hello Lex. Those are good questions that we all probably have to deal with at some time in our Christian walk. You asked a couple of questions: I'll look at the second one, first.

"Sin that doesn't bother you as before". Usually, the reason for this dilemma, is because we have been entertaining that sin in our lives for too long, making it acceptable & justifiable in our minds. And when that one sin becomes acceptable, usually there are other sins that are lining up for your approval. Sin has to be seen for what it is. To the person without Christ, he has a list of commandments in the Bible, even his own conscience, that will alert him to what is sin & what displeases God. To those in Christ, the Holy Spirit within immediately checks our spirit & thoughts when sin is at the door or has even been allowed inside.

Suggestions? Go back into the Word, read & digest what God sees as sin & bring up that sin(s) before Him. Is there anything other than that specific sin that is holding back the Spirit of God from speaking to you? Even things such as wilfulness, obstinacy, anger, pride can be easily overlooked, that prevents the Spirit from breaking through to speak to your heart.

"Experiencing godly sorrow". Godly sorrow is a wonderful thing. The counterpart is a heart full of praise. In both experiences, the heart is deeply affected: one, where there is a wrenching of spirit, being overcome by the depth & volume of sin, & the other, a heart full of uncontainable joy as we get lost in the wonder of the greatness & graciousness of our God.

When a heart is filled with godly sorrow (as for sin), all it can do is cry out in anguish & for mercy. Take hold of God's Word & its Promises. I think of Mark 2:17: "(Jesus) saith unto them, They that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." It is Jesus' Call to all sinners (those sick in soul): that there is full healing when there is repentance.

What is the difference between "kingdom of god" and "kingdom of heaven" ? i have found a lot of differences

s spencer.... Are you the same "third Adam" author.?

Hello Faith. Your desire & yearning to learn more of our Heavenly Father & the riches we have In Christ, are commendable indeed. And all those treasures are found in God's Word, as we study & meditate on it, asking His Spirit for illumination & application in our lives. There is probably some discussion on the matters you raised in the comments made by various folk here, but you can click on "Discussion by Book/Chapter or by Topic" which may narrow down your search.

To your specific question now: it is true, because of Adam & Eve's disobedience & the sin nature taking root in their lives, that they lost that special intimacy that they had with their Creator. And as Isaiah wrote in Isaiah 59:2: "But your iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his (God's) face from you, that he will not hear." Whenever man entertains sin in his life, he can't expect God to speak & direct him. Israel was the chosen people of God & God poured out His Love upon them. Even though they, like us, inherited the sin nature from our first parents, God still loved them & made them His special possession. Yet, they still abused that Love & sinned & served the gods of the nations around them. But God did not stop speaking & continued to persevere with them, giving them warnings; & this He did by the prophets.

But those of the gentile nations to whom God had not revealed Himself & were wholly given to all manner of wickedness, God was silent. Though His Word did not come to them, His punishment did, when Israel was tasked to conquer their lands & wipe them out. Even in this, Israel disobeyed God, & so suffered because of them, both physically & spiritually. God has always spoken to His people through the prophets & now, through His Son ( Hebrews 1:1,2). And yet, as the Gospel goes out, people refuse to heed the cry of God for all men everywhere to repent & turn to Him ( 2 Peter 3:9).

God still speaks - but man still refuses to listen & call upon Him.

Earl,

You do not believe in a rapture of the church but believe we are gathered one by one? Those who are gathered, where do they go?

One of the verses you used is Matthew 24:40 which says, "Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. There are different views about two in the field, one is taken, one is left. Where does the one go that is taken? We know where the one that is left is, but what about the one that is taken?

Some say they are taken into judgment (Which I myself believe). Some say it's for salvation, a person is taken saved. Some say it's one of these gatherings, the Lord gathering His people from the four corners of the earth.

But in Luke's account, Luke 17:37, it tells us that they are taken into judgment. They are not taken to be with the Lord. They are drawn into the Valley of Megiddo for the battle of Armageddon. The book of Revelation tells us that God is the one that draws the people and the armies into the valley of Megiddo to fight against Him when He comes. So Luke 17:37 tells us that they are taken for judgment.

In Luke 17:37, they ask Jesus where the one that is taken goes. Jesus says "Wheresoever the body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together." These are actually vultures. He's talking about that day when people are going to gather together in the Valley outside of Jerusalem to fight against Christ at His coming. And the birds are going to be called in to feed on their carcasses? These people have been drawn out into the battle. So He is talking about His day. So these people who are taken are not taken to be with the Lord.

As far as a rapture, you make no mention of the phrase "caught up" used in 1 Thess. chapter 4, nor do you mention that chapter at all, the chapter those who believe in a rapture use. The Greek word is HARPADZO which means to be snatched up by force. What are your thoughts on those who are forcefully snatched up?

Hi Neumon. I believe you're referring to Isaiah 45:7 and Amos 3:6. Please correct me if you're thinking of other similar verses.

If we read those passages as given & understood, then we're liable to believe that the "evil" being spoken of in both verses is a moral or sadistic evil constructed by God. However, we must turn to the Hebrew to interpret that word. In both cases, the word for "evil" is from the same root word: Rah; and in both instances 'evil' is meant to imply 'calamity or adversity'.

So reading Isaiah 45:7: God both forms the light & creates darkness; if God chooses to remove the light, whether a physical light from the sun, we will have darkness. Or, He chooses to not give or prevent spiritual light coming to someone, then that mind lies in darkness (e.g. Ephesians 5:8, 1 Thessalonians 5:5).

Similarly, with "I make peace & create evil": God can choose to bring peace into a situation or within a person, or He can withhold that peace, & calamity or adversity prevails. So, when it says that God creates 'evil', it's impossible for an Holy God to bring out some evil from within Himself, when no such evil can even exist in such holiness. But God can remove light & peace for His Own purposes, thereby leaving distress & calamity.

Amos 3:6: in like manner, when a trumpet (of warning) is sounded, the people ought to be alerted & afraid of what's to come. If there is a calamity being struck in a city, shouldn't the inhabitants likewise be warned that maybe the Lord is trying to tell them something? Sometimes, not always, when we face an adversity or calamity in our lives, we need to seek the Lord's Face & examine our lives, lest there may be a word of warning from God for us. The Lord told Israel (through Amos) in verse 2: "You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will punish you for all your iniquities." Israel was greatly blessed, but they likewise also faced much warning & punishment for their sins & departure from God.

I posted over a year ago because of a Song of Solomon and Ten Virgins study; that was tying into a rapture explanation. It was very exciting to see it coincide with how the Father of a Jewish groom controls timing.

Although I think the 10 virgins is more compelling.

Dear "Timing of a Jewish wedding,"

Is this something you came up with? It looks like a copy word for word of what I posted a while back on the 7 Steps of a Jewish wedding. I'm just curious because it looks like an exact copy of my post?

Either way, I've shared this before and it is very fascinating. Thanks for reposting!

How do you know you are experiencing godly sorrow 2 Corinthians 7:10-11 that leads to repentance? Is there a way to be sure that you are properly repented toward GOD and not causing yourself a guilt trip which does not lead to change or glorify GOD? Also another serious question, what do you suggest if you feel like sin doesn't bother you like it used to? Just pray about it?

My heart is very troubled because my father is sick with Covid 19 and at this moment I'm not sure if my feelings are valid but I feel alone without LOVE from any of my immediate family and I'm afraid of loosing my father at this time also. I'm in need of guidance and strength and understanding.

Thank you

What should I read to have a strong prayer life and walk with God through triles and tribulation even when I stand alone.

Sister Kimberly, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

Romans 14:8 For whether we LIVE, we LIVE unto the Lord; and whether we DIE, we DIE unto the Lord: whether we LIVE therefore, or DIE, we are the Lord's.

John 6:20 This is the bread that cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and NOT DIE.

John 11:26 And whosoever LIVETH and BELIEVETH in me shall never die. BELIEVEST THOU THIS?

Luke 20:36 Neither can they DIE any more (because they DIED with Christ on the cross): for they are EQUAL to the angels; and are the children of God, being the CHILDREN OF THE RESURRECTION.

Revelation 14:13 ....Blessed are the dead which DIE IN THE LORD from henceforth....

1 Corinthians 15:26 The last enemy to be destroyed is DEATH.

Christ resurrection DESTROYED DEATH. (For those that BELIEVE)

John 8:51 Verily, Verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my sayings, he shall NEVER SEE DEATH.

Matthew 16:28 Verily I say unto to you, There be some STANDING HERE (this was 2000 years age), which SHALL NOT TASTE OF DEATH, till they see the Son of man coming into his kingdom.

Colossians 1:27 ...THIS MYSTERY....CHRIST IN YOU....(The First SON OF GOD)

1 John 5:12 He that hath the Son hath LIFE; and he that hath not the Son HATH NOT LIFE.

Do these scriptures imply that we sleep and await and appointed time; or has our APPOINTED time ARRIVED upon the death of this earthly body.

You don't go to heaven; you BECOME a SON OF GOD. OMNIPRESENT not confined to one location or place.

As there seems to be numerous "ideas" about where your soul goes when you die. Which is normal.

I will give you my perception. First off going by actual Testimonies of people who have experienced death and came back to life. As you can do research on this. There have been many people who have testified to have been in the presence of the Lord and experienced Heaven.

Now to the Scriptures. Just a couple. 2 Corinthians 5:8, Philippians 1:21-23. Christ stating that He is the resurrection, John 11:25-26, and that whoever believes in Him will never die.

As to reply to , 1 Thessalonians 4:16. I see it as "the dead in Christ shall rise first" means those who have died, in Christ, have already risen and are with Christ where He is. Then in verse 17 as "we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds" to me means after we come to our physical death, as we all have to, will be with them and Christ as well.

I also believe there is a place of eternal torment that is separate from God. As Christ and Paul note a place of eternal punishment. Along with people who have died, and come back, have experiences/testimonies with this as well.

I'm not here to argue with anyone as this will be my only post. I hope my answer gives you direction Sissy.

May the Lord Bless you.

[Adam gave his mandate over to Satan when he and Eve ate of the fruit of the Tree of Life.]

God spoke of the Word to become flesh in the future: Genesis 3:15

"And I will put enmity between thee (Satan), and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it (Jesus Christ) shall bruise thy head (Satans legal power), and thou shalt bruise his heel. (the nail through Jesus's feet)."

When Jesus died for the sins of all mankind on the Cross, he fulfilled the Old Covenant, and ratified the New Covenant, with his blood sacrifice as the Lamb of God. Satan didn't know that, or he would have prevented it.

Jesus was resurrected on the 3rd Day. Satan was stripped of the power he had stolen from First Adam. Second Adam is Jesus. Satan has no authority over Gods born again children. Only what we give him by sinning and not asking to be forgiven. 1 John.

Jesus descended into hell's prisons, took the KEYS of Death, Hell and the Grave; out of Satans hand. Then Jesus emptied the prison.

The Godhead (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) live outside of Time; and they Live inside of Time.

"In Beginning," ( Gen. 1:1) is when God began the ticking of Time.

We might crab at God, "Why did YOU let this disaster happen?! God has a will, He gave free will to mankind to use for good or evil. As a Created being, Satan has an evil will. He does all the things we blame God for. Isaiah 14:12-16

We all need to remember that. Be wary and pray daily to God: Thy Will Be Done.

In Job, we see that Satan attacked Job's family first. He stirred up an F-5 tornado against them. Let's be informed "who" is responsible for what.

God is Love, God is Good. He has made all Provision for us. He even gave His only begotten Son, so that we may live eternally, IF we accept Jesus as Savior and Lord? Take your SELF off the throne of your heart; and ask Jesus to be the Lord of your Life. Be conscious of WHO has your best interests at heart.

Mishael

Please pray that I get a new home.

What secular Book did you read?

Let's read Matthew 25 (ten virgins) till we "get it."

Helen,

The Rapture (caught up) precedes this wedding.

1. First, the Jewish groom barters with the father of the bride. They get together and they go back-and-forth, and barter as to what the deal is going to be.

2. Once they reach an agreement, the future bride is brought in. And if she approves of it, all three of them drink out of the covenant cup, which means from that time forward they are betrothed.

3. The groom goes back to his father's house to build their living quarters. It is built right off of the family home. And once the wedding takes place, and they are now married, they will go back to his family's home, and there will be living quarters that will be for them.

4. The father of the groom decides when the living quarters are done, and WHEN he can go get his bride. What does that tell us? We don't know the time or the hour. It has to be a minimum of one year because it is a time of purity for her. The groom can go get his bride when his father decides it's time.

5. When the marriage announcement is made, catch this: the people who have already been invited to the wedding feast, they take their positions along the parade route, because the groom is going to get his bride. And there are people stationed in position all the way along the route. They join the parade as it passes by. It is called a parade.

6. When the groom reaches the bride's house, he stands at a distance and blows the shofar, the trumpet, for the bride to come out and meet him. And the wedding takes place at that time. Do you see anything in there about prophecy? The groom comes to get his bride, and he stands a ways off and blows the trumpet, and she comes out to meet him.

7. The parade goes back to the groom's house and the wedding feast begins. All of the guests in the parade gather in the Fellowship Hall, and the door is shut. This is not an open public thing. It occurs in heaven.

Get saved NOW!!

ALEX

What prevails is the Word of GOD. The Word is GOD, understand?

JESUS left very clear: Matt.11:v.28 - ... No MAN knoweth the Son -JESUS-, but the Father - GOD the FATHER-; neither knoweth any MAN the FATHER -GOD the FATHER-, save the Son -JESUS-, and he TO WHOMSOEVER the Son will reveal Him.

...The witness of GOD is greater ..., 1John 5:v.9. Yeah, the witness of GOD is greater; the Word is GOD, understand?

Sissy,

This is something you must decide, there are different views. Study the words soul and spirit, and breath, how they are used through the Bible. One thing, there is no time or knowledge in death ( Psalm 6:5) so whatever you decide, it's like when we go to sleep the next thing we know, we wake up.

When the gospel of Christ was given to the Gentiles, the countries around, even the Jews were influenced by Hellenistic Greek Philosophy, beliefs like what happens when we die, mythical stories of death, paradise, hades, and the underworlds crossed over.

The word "soul" means "life," either physical or eternal. Hebrew word nephesh meaning a soul, ( Genesis 2:7) living being, life, self, person, desire, passion, appetite, emotion. The Greek word psuche meaning the soul, life, self, a person's distinct identity. If you study them, it is also used for all living beings' fish, animals, birds, and man. The soul is a living being but it is also our identity, we are all different in looks and personality, all our feelings, our thoughts, emotions, all that makes us, us.

The word spirit, the Bible writers used the Hebrew word ruach meaning breath, wind, spirit, or the Greek word pneuma also meaning wind, breath, spirit, when writing about the spirit.

What I have been shown in my studies, spirit is our breath, also what we communicate and worship God through the Holy Spirit. When we die our breath goes back to God ( Ecclesiastes 12:7) and our communication stops. ( Psalm 115:17) ( Psalms 146:4) ( Job 14:12-14)

We are asleep, body and soul until we are resurrected, that's when this mortal puts on immortality. ( 1 Corinthians 15:42, 51-56).

Sleep is used many times in the Bible for death and it is a very good example, may this give you another view and something you can study.

May we be led by the Spirit of truth.
