Wesley's Notes for Joel 2:28

2:28 Afterward - After the return out of Babylon, after the various troubles and salvations by which these may know that I am the Lord. I will pour - In extraordinary gifts on the first preachers of the gospel, and in various graces to all believers. Upon all flesh - Before these gifts were confined to one particular nation; but now they shall be enlarged to all nations, and all that believe. Shall prophesy - This was in part fulfilled according to the letter in the first days of the gospel; but the promise MEANS FARTHER, by pouring out of the spirit on your sons and your daughters, they shall have as full a knowledge of the mysteries of God's law, as prophets before time had. Shalt dream dreams - This also was literally fulfilled in the apostles days. But it may MEAN FARTHER

, the knowledge of God and his will, shall abound among all ranks, SEXES and ages in the Messiah's days, and not only equal, but surpass all that formerly was by prophesy, dreams, or visions.

In my experience, we all submit ourselves to learn under Church Leadership. You grow up. You involve yourself in Ministry of some kind; and demonstrate faithfulness to growing others up.

You do not think highly of your abilities until you put in some time, learning and doing. You can practice on people in these comment rooms. There are scholars here, and babes in Christ. Perhaps become involved in evangelism...where the rubber meets the road. Certainly, be part of intercession prayer groups.

One teacher that I met in a week Conference at my Church (open to men and women) is an excellent equipping teacher. Go on YouTube and look up, Iverna Tompkins.

If you read that Commentary on Joel, you'll see it speaks of a future generation. If God has a call on your life, it will grow only as you're willing to grow it. Sometimes our presumptions die grizzly deaths; but in the end we will shine like gold, in the Masters Hand.

Be of good courage.

Reply is over on the 'discussion room' posts: the Godhead Scriptures.

2 Corinthians Chapter 5

6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, while we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:

7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)

8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.

9 Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.

Let us Read from Mark 7: about the Centurions request to Jesus. Also, Jesus's reply to the Centurion. Let us not disregard Job 1. Satan has no authority of his own; to take our life from us. Not anymore. Jesus took the Keys of death and the grave, away from Satan at the finished work of the Cross.

Have you called your Church to come and pray for you? The Pastor and his devoted prayer warriors?

The Body of Christ are the Hands of Jesus; His mouth, His Will working, through them. Don't shun them because you think you're contemplating suicide. This is not that.

Apostle Paul had been stoned, beat up, in prison, starved, cursed, ship wrecked, bit by a deadly viper, called a heretic by the Jews: he wanted to go be with Jesus! But he stuck it out a while longer, so he could plant churches WITHIN Jesus's followers. He died horribly at the hands of the Romans. You're going to meet Paul :)

If your work is finished here; and you've "set your house in order", it is no sin to decline the machines. That's not a suicide. If after you've read all these scriptures and you called in your Church to pray for you: it is between you and your Lord. He is touched by your infirmities and suffering. God is not going to suffer you to be kept alive by a machine. Be at peace. Psalm 23.

May God's angels stand around your beside and protect you.

Free, what wonderful writing! And very alive in the Spirit, you can just hear the Spirit of life there...

I hope you will share more, the Lord shines right through your English perfectly and uniquely......

God Bless!

The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

Isaiah 6:8

Romans 1:20

Colossians 2:9

Acts 17:27-30

1 John 5:7

John 10:30

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"

Genesis 1:1

The Father purposes

The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.

All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel

Matthew 1:23

"Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."

Jesus came to bring to each born again believer; the baptism and the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.

[ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3,

John 16: 7-15]

To REFUSE this knowledge, is to reject the Son of God, and his provision. Read all those scriptures before you decide. Jesus doesn't brainwash anybody. Ask His followers.

Mishael

You should just ask us to pray that you'll be enabled to believe, that if you opened the doors of your heart, you would be able to receive what Jesus did for you. That's the first hurdle. It gets lots better after that. Jesus is knocking...

Matthew 18:19-20

That if two of you shall AGREE on earth as touching any thing (or person) that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in my name, THERE AM I, in the midst of them.

John 1:12

Yet to all who receive him, to those who BELiEVED in his name, he gave the right to become children of God.

1 Timothy 2:8

I will, therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.

Matthew 7:7

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be OPENED to you.

No one helped me to be saved. No one invited me to go to their Church with them. They just regarded me as "too far gone" in sinful ways, to be reached.

Only my Grandmother sent me love letters about Jesus. Which I scorned at first and put in a drawer. After her death, I read them. That kind of love destroys the walls of hardness.

Despite how everyone treated me, I answered that knock on the day of my salvation. I gave Him all of my pain, and He gave me joy and peace.

Don't give up.

Brother Chris, this is a continuation of the first post. Concerning Christ being Alpha, the first, the beginning, and firstborn of the creation, I would like you to consider to following postulate: Christ is the transformational means by which God's creative will becomes atomic matter. God is completely Spirit; therefore, His Spirit is an intrinsic element inside of every spiritual entity he creates (e.g. cherubim, angels). However, matter is a different realm, existing outside of God. Therefore, God united both realms by creating the physical body of Christ as the perfect hybrid which was 100% God and 100% matter. Christ became God's archetypical conversion chamber through which all created atomic matter proceeded. Therefore, the DNA of Christ is inside of all atomic matter. Rather, all created matter is inside of Christ, which is why Paul says, "For in Him we live, and move, and have our being." The creation works so harmoniously because Christ, or to be exact, His physical body, was the first created entity, and all the rest of creation contains His DNA. He, then, is the Masterful Conductor who causes all things to blend into a beautiful creative symphony.

God's dictates all salvation-related events connected to His elect which occur throughout man's chronological journey on earth. His pre-ordained will is signified in the book which Christ comes to take out of the Father's hand in Revelation 5:1-7. It was written in God's created universe that Christ would be crucified should man fall before the first seal was opened and the story of man began. Therefore, Christ was the only one who open the book and begin the story of man for only His life could end the story with man living forever with God. Therefore, Christ had already been crucified in the spiritual realm and the elect were chosen before the foundation of the world ( Eph. 1:4,5, 11).

Continue to pray for my friend Marie!! She has a very important head surgery tomorrow. Pray that God will lead her to accept Jesus as her savior if she hasn't already; and that He will use this surgery to heal her head completely and spare her life!!!! I'd be super grateful for ALL the prayers I can get for Marie!!

widower living alone Thank You

In response to 1 Peter 4:18; If you refer to the original Greek interpretation of the word "saved" it means "delivered". There are "few" of God's elect that will be delivered from their ignorance of God's righteousness by the Holy Spirit within them revealing the correct understanding of God's righteousness by his Son's death on the cross imputing his righteousness unto them.

Most of God's elect have "a zeal" of God, but not according to knowledge, for they being ignorant of God's righteousness, are going about to establish their own righteousness, having not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.



Matt 7:13-14, Gives us the division of the few that have been revealed the knowledge of God's righteousness who enter into the straight gate and the narrow way that leads them to enjoy an abundant life as they sojourn here on earth. Those that enter the wide gate and the broad way are the vast majority of God's elect who are teaching and preaching eternal deliverance by their good works, which leads to destruction. All of God's elect have had their sins paid for by Jesus on the cross and will all enjoy eternal deliverance into heaven, without the lose of even one.

I believe the scriptures teach that there will be more to enter heaven, than hell, as many as the stars in heaven and the sand in the seashore, too numerous to count.

Jeremiah 21:8, I do not believe that this passage is referring to "life in heaven", and "death in hell". "Death" according to Greek translation means "separation". God is telling his elect to choose that abundant life that we can enjoy by entering into the strait gate referred to in Matt 7. The "death" would be a separation from enjoying that good and abundant life.

God granted mankind the ability to choose out the way he wants to live his life here on earth, and mankind choose not to seek God. Psalms 53:2-3. God, by his foreknowledge of this, choose an elect people from within those that did not seek him.

Look up eastern culture it is forbidden or considered evil to go into tent and see father and or mothers with nothing on thats why the two sons of noah walked backwards. Keeps out corrupt thinking anything you subject mind to not biblical effects thoughts.

Thought this website was focused on sharing Gods Word not giving personal judgement on individuals or government. Biblically there is no world government that operates according To Gods Word, even the body of Christ doesn't operate according to whats written look at Ephesians. One God one lord one body one faith basically also to walk in Gods love a lot easier said than done. Just giving a perspective

Peaceful salutations in His name! I thank God for you, Brother Chris! Your passion for God's word and the grace of Christ displayed in your replies are commendable! "Iron sharpens Iron" ( Prov. 27:17), which is why conversations such the ones we are having are very beneficial. In response to your initial question, God does not create anything that does not glorify Him, nor serve a purpose to fulfill His Divine will (Is. 45:7; Rev. 4:11). God is the Master Artist, and the created universe is His canvas. All strokes of the paint brush, and the colors and textures of all paints used are intentional.

Undoubtedly, the conditions in Genesis 1:2 were the result of God's judgment in the form of a Noahic-type flood in which He extracted all light and structure from the earth, leaving it in a "voided" state, the Biblical definition of which is associated with emptiness, desolation, and chaos. Scripture suggests the reason for God's judgment in Ezekiel 28:11-19. It speaks of the adversary, the old serpent ( Rev. 12:9), having been in the Garden of Eden, and subsequently being stripped of all his glory after iniquity was found in him and he became filled with violence because of his merchandise. If, indeed, the earth was the setting for this activity, and had become the product of such violence and corruption, it would definitely have prompted God's judgment. Keep in mind that violence and corruption impelled God to pass judgment in the form of the Noahic flood ( Gen. 6:10-13).

Following God's judgment, the evidence of which is found in Genesis 1:2, He presents Christ, His Son, in Genesis 1:3, who reintroduces light into the creation, reestablishes order, and proceeds to create. Today Christ continues to be the spiritual glue which holds the creation together and causes its harmonious functioning. Paul says, "by Him all things consist" ( Col. 1:17b).

Dave,

america & israel = mene, mene, tekel, upharsin ( daniel 5:25)

John the Baptist was a martyr but he stirred up Herod's hate, and Salome got her wish to have him served up on a plate,

I said yeah.

Could you stand the torture? And could you stand the pain? Could you put your faith in Jesus when you're burning in the flames? I said yeah.

You'll never make a saint of me, oh yeah.

God I pray you lead our government to pray for forgiveness. Praying on bended knee to you Lord Almighty to humbly and honestly ask for your guidance & mercy. I know it is their will to do so Lord maybe they need a bigger push.

Brother Dan Yes its something to think about when the sower will go forth to sow his seed which is the Living Word its gonna result in Faith and living faith is like a Pregnancy ( sorrows ) B/C i have spoken these Words ( seeds ) unto you Sorrows have filled your hearts. Then he gave them a lil parable of a woman in travail and birth Pains saying her sorrows are gonna be turned to joy when the Child comes the Child being the H.G. That Child of PROMISE . In the natural when a woman is pregnant she has the substance of things hoped the evidence of things not seen . Thats us he is gonna impregnate us with his seed his WORDS are his seed we are gonna be bornagain of his incorruptible seed ,His words etc are his seeds they were impregnated when they heard his Words. My lil Children of whom i travail in birth till Christ is FORMED IN YOU. ( OUR NEW BIRTH ) Thats what he was trying to tell them there was a child in their future which was the H.G. that Child of Promise ,Behold i send the promise of my my FATHER upon you which was baptism of the H.G. Unless ya receive the Kingdom of God as a lil child you will in no wise enter there in . Thats y he always refered to himself as the SON OF MAN, MANKIND IS GONNA BRING FORTH FRUIT UNTO GOD When the book is opened ,Thats y the woman is giving birth ,27 times in the O.T. the Prophets saw the world in travail and birth pains . His words are his seeds WHEN HE BREATHE ON EM THEY RECEIVED THE H.G. His words are his seeds ,Thats y he said that which is born of the spirit is spirit thats the H.G. the child of Promise . He multiplies after the God kind as all of his Children are spirits the H.G. THAT Child of Promise. That Great Promise was the multiplication of very Christ in humanity the world as he said the field was the world where that good seed will be sown resulting in a heavenly birth of A BABY CHRIST IN US. Whosoever receiveth one such child in my name receiveth me . They don't call him the bridegoom for nothin he has a seed.

In a previous stream, someone made this comment:Revelations is not talking about the 10 commandments when Jesus said keep my laws. Jesus law is the law of Grace not of works. The law of Moses has been fulfiled By Jesus. That means he completed and finished all the works of the law for us. When you depend on the law for salvation you spit on the cross and trample the blood of Christ under foot. No flesh was ever justified by the law. Ever.

I would submit that a careful search of the scriptures will show that there are two Covenants; Paul refers to both. The one being the Covenant written in stone and hand delivered by God himself at Mount Horeb. This is the Covenant for which the Ark was built. God said; "If you will obey my voice indeed and keep my covenant, then ye shall be a Kingdom of priests and a Holy Nation. This covenant was rejected by the children of Israel when they fled and demanded that Moses act as Mediator for them. God responded to this by creating the Aaronic priesthood and having Moses give them a different set of Laws (The Law of Moses)which was written by Moses and placed in the side of the ark as a witness against them. This law was given to them in Moab, in addition to the first Covenant which they rejected. This is why Jesus says; you have one that accuses you even Moses in whom you trust. He is constantly chiding them for ignoring the commandments of God to keep their own traditions, going so far as to point out that "Moses gave you circumcision, because it is of the fathers, and that Moses suffered you to divorce your wives. Jesus went out Preaching The Kingdom of God is at hand, because he was there to finish his fathers work. If you will obey my voice and keep my covenant: Then you shall be a Kingdom of priests and a Holy Nation. Jesus came to make sure that this time there were those who accepted the offer. Remember that Jesus is the "Stone the Builders rejected" Israel never became that kingdom. till Jesus came. A remnant

Question

Why in Isaiah would they say plainly "I am the Lord and besides me there is no Saviour?" And in Colossians "In him (Jesus) dwells all of the FULLNESS of the GODHEAD bodily"? Why does James say "Even the devils believe there is ONE God (not three!) And shudder" And another verse in Isaiah plainly says "Is there any God besides me? I know not of any!." Jesus says to John in Revelation "I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and End, the First and the Last!" And in Exodus when Moses asks Gods name, he says "I am that I am". When Jesus said that same statement in John, the pharisees took up stones to throw at him, because they knew he was plainly saying "I am God almighty". Also in John, when Philip said "Lord, show us the father, and it sufficed us" Jesus said to him "Have I been with you so long, Philip, that you do not realize who I AM? He who has seen me has seen the father." So, how can you believe in Three Gods when the bible clearly states that there is One God ( Deuteronomy 6:4)?

Hi Chad.

While you left a comment very tough to respond to!! The Lord may decide to speak through someone on this matter or perhaps he already did, Or perhaps to communicate with you directly.

I believe you have to take this straight to the Lord.

NOT Asking to leave here, but to stay here peacefully if it be his will.

We will be praying for you.

God bless you.

US & Russia constantly riding, threatening each other, tit for tat:

"President Biden warned President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia on Friday that time was running out for him to rein in the ransomware groups striking the United States, telegraphing that this could be Mr. Putin's final chance to take action on Russia's harboring of cybercriminals before the United States moved to dismantle the threat."

"Mr. Biden's challenge to Mr. Putin could pose a major credibility test in coming weeks - and further escalate a Cold War-like series of confrontations between the United States and Russia" NYT 7/9/21

Revelation 17 is playing out right under our noses. Preconceived notions are deeply tattooed on the DNA. Not knowing the times we live in will push the apocalypse right through you, as if you were a child.

Explain meaning of exodus 20:26 about uncovering thy nakedness thereon

Can a women become a minister

Brother Michael,

This life is short, and will end in the blink of an eye. The next life will be forever.

Jesus explains why we should fear God in the scripture below:

Matthew 10:28

"And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell."

Happy Sabbath and God Bless!

Dear brother's and sister's,

It would be interesting to hear how others here are striving to become like children.

Jesus said in scripture below, that in order to enter into the kingdom of heaven we need to be converted and humble ourselves as a little child.

Matthew 18:1-4

1At the same time came the disciples unto Jesus, saying, Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven? 2And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, 3And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. 4Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Jesus says: If we don't become as children - we WILL NOT enter the kingdom of heaven!

Something to think about on this Holy Sabbath Day!

God Bless

God Bless You also Lauren

Thankyou very much.

Jesus was talking to people who were Jews.

After he died, and God raised Him from the dead, and He now sits at the right hand of the father- do these rules not apply to "Christians"?

It seems to me that all these rules were for the 12 disciples only, at that point in time.

Not for every "believer" since then, for all time.

Example:

19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

20 For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.

Is this why "Christians" who are being persecuted keep their mouths shut??

Is this why those "christians" that were beheaded by Islamics kept their mouths shut? Were they waiting for God to speak through them??

Dear Jesus will you please restore my family and turn them from the worldly ways and give us wisdom and guidance drugs, stealing, lieing, Fighting, in court to get a child back with there mother and father, none of them have a job, none of them are happy some have bad tempers can't keep a girlfriend or boyfriend Dear lord in heaven in the father son and the holy Spirit in Jesus name please help them thank you Jesus for all you do thank you Lord.

Sir if your born again remember all sins forgiven its been paid for. also end of life decisions are not necessarily wrong, all of us will fall asleep or die but then we have the Hope of our resurrection. That is our peace.

Depending on the context most times its respect or be in amazement for the believer for the unbeliever its terrifying.
