  • Live For Heaven Now - In Reply on 1 Thessalonians 4 - 4 years ago
    2 Corinthians 5:8

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

    2 Corinthians 5:6

    Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body (flesh), we are absent from the Lord:

    Comment: If a Christian is deceased, their body is buried, or remains where the body died. [some bodies are never recovered]

    Their born again spirit is taken to heaven, to await the moment of the Rapture, when they will receive their RESURRECTION body (body soul and spirit) Because of the soul, everyone will be unique. There will be no evil or sinfulness in us.

    When I view this world, I look for simple beauty. I'm fairly sure we aren't going to be staring at cell phones for social media.

    All those that accepted the Invitation to the marriage supper of the Lamb, will do what we do at weddings: feasting, great conversation, dancing and singing. Heaven is full of FAITH, so there will not be any fear, doubting or bashfulness. We don't have to be afraid people will not like us, it doesn't exist. The they're going to Love Us!

    Can we imagine this earth before man polluted it, decimated forests, dammed up rivers and lakes; kept notebooks of animal and bird photos because they all died for some reason??

    And not KNOW that heaven will surpass all of our hopes. Faith is the substance of things HOPED FOR.

    God knows our hearts right now. I'm sure He has plans that we will love!

  • Chris - In Reply on Acts 16 - 4 years ago
    Hi Are. Yes, the jailor was asking about a spiritual salvation. He was the head keeper of the prison, any escape would mean that he would pay the price for it - whether being jailed himself or executed for his ineptness. When Paul & Silas appeared before him, they found him about to commit suicide, for he believed that that would be the better option for him. So this jailor was so relieved that these two men didn't escape & that their honesty & fear of God and probably the Gospel message that the jailor heard from them, prompted him to realize his own sin & his need for such a wonderful Saviour.

    This again shows us how God can use His children in so many ways to bring the Gospel to the unsaved. And especially when the unsaved are in great need, their ears & hearts are more open. Trouble is, so many believers lead careless lives making the Lord & the Gospel a laughing stock & a derision to so many. Though Paul & Silas were prisoners, the jailor soon realized that these prisoners were men of God, that God was with them, & they had a life-giving message for him (& his household).

    Hallo All, sorry to intervention here but The thread is exiting. And will all day to the werry End stand up for speculation and big wonder.

    The Lord tock me ones into the explamantion of the word, black and white. Thank You Dear Jesus. And thanks for this web who have give me the revelations back. I hade almost forgot it.

    Revelation 1. 4. It said "John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, from him which is and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;"

    from him which is.

    from him which is. And not "are". That i have learned.

    which is to come.

    When He open my eyes it explode in my heart. After that ill read all Different. The word in the Holy Bible was like in a sea, always in motion. Mayby like the wind. And after that i belive in what my heart tell me, who il get from the Holy Scripture. I belive it is the Holy Spirit who is my supervisor. And He give me word for the day who i need or who i need too deliver to someone who need the word.

    ps. English is not my mother tongue, please be patient. God Bless you all to understand, in Jesus name.

    And today il searched after a word and find it, at once here in the web site. In this thread, Which is " I Am". John 8:12; 9:5.

    This is the biggest word that Jesus speak ever. He embraces Everything! When we look up to the sky and see no End in the space. Thats Him too. We look down in the darkest of darkness, and He is King even there. All thing is made for Him. Becose He have added everything under His foot. He Fulfilled the work when He died on the cross. It was the strongest offer someone has made ever! That where when God the Father Him self, have to sacrifice His Only son. I live today becose of that.

    Can you imagine what the disiple think when they heard this word. Some of they did not belive it. And il gess they created confusion. Ty they had the Master to look up on. And we have that too, in our heart. God Bless you all

    I ran out of room in my last message, but I wish everyone could just follow God and Jesus, and not be tempted.by such a weakling like Satan. I don't understand how he is able to get into people's minds the way he does even though he is chained, and why he would ever think that he could be stronger than God. I can't fathom ever leaving the benefits God provides, he created everything, and a lot of times when I pray I always tell him how wonderful he did with creating this world. Jesus I have no idea how to thank enough because he died for us, and there are so many out there who ignore such a major thing that he did for us.
  • Nicole - In Reply on Revelation 1 - 4 years ago
    Thank you Jesse. No it definitely wouldn't be, especially in Milwaukee, this city isn't the safest anymore. We would love to rent a house, but since I am disabled I have 0 credit, and my husband's credit got messed up because of his mom, it's building back up but slowly. My husband is a chef at a restaurant, and his friend there happens to be an investor, I asked if the three of us would be able to get a place together because it is something his friend has brought up just recently, so my husband is going to talk with him more about it next time he sees him. I wish I had relatives that would takenus in for now, but most of my relatives are greedy and only think about themselves, and his family are the same way.

    I agree, well it was mostly my friend's mom who said okay to us being here, she is a wonderful lady, and I love being around her she is definitely not a dark soul, it's just her son Andii who is. For the most part we Ignore him, there are genuine times where he wants to believe in God and Jesus, because I tell him about a lot of things from the Bible, and he will get very curious and I sometimes feel like I've helped him see the light, but then he gets drunk and goes back to where he was. Sometimes my husband when he gets home from work will walk in, go up to Andii and yell "JESUS LOVES YOU" and Andii will just stay silent or he'll get freaked out lol!

    That is a very super valid point you've made, and it's true. Ir's like the blues Brothers "The Lord works in mysterious ways". I mean after all we are supposed to openly talk about God and Jesus to all and spread the love,

    I really like talking with you Jesse, you are a great man. I will absolutely pray for him, and keep trying to make a breakthrough. Miracles happen, and I've even had the pleasure of God taking my spirit out of my earthly body once to show me heaven. I was a little overwhelmed when I came back but now when I look back on that experience I smile.
  • Cindy - In Reply - 4 years ago
    What a generous prayer list to ask for just a universal job for yourself! Ask and you shall receive--if it's God's will.

    Now, about your request for the baptism of the Holy Spirit. The second you are saved, you are baptized by the Holy Spirit, who never leaves you for he is a part of your walk for Christ. He shows you Gods ways and teaches you His paths. The Bible says, "For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body" ( 1 Corinthians 12:13). The original Greek of this passage makes it clear that this baptism of the Spirit--just as is water baptism--is a completed past action. Peace.

  • Sacha - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Dear Chad , I am so sorry for you in your situation ,please know that I may be the only person who replies to you but I'm sure that everyone who has read your post is thinking of you and praying for a good outcome for you , there are some ,but not me , who would say that you are artificially keeping yourself alive with human science , I've done that myself and I believe that God had given us the knowledge to ease our sufferings but others will disagree I'm sure , you didn't mention your age or how long you have been like this or if you have a family , all I can say is that it's not our place to tell you what to do or to judge your choices , I know that God loves you very much and He is with you , all the time , He understands your pain. You must do what you believe is right for you and your loved ones , me ? I would take the treatment ,ask my doctor to be very honest with me ,talk to my loved ones and pray to God through Jesus Christ our sinless high priest in heaven , wait a while . Don't make a rash decision and please know we are all thinking of you and God will not leave you , listen for that small still voice .May God grant you wisdom and peace and may He bless you and yours in all the ways He knows you need His blessings most .

    Revelation 3:14. We see this expression ("the beginning of the creation of God") only here. I would include Colossians 1:15-18 which speaks of Christ being "the firstborn of all creation - for by Him were all things created - through Him & for Him". Even though the Greek for 'beginning' & 'firstborn' are very different, I think the same application is implied: that Christ is the Creator (the beginning) of all creation: both of the original creation & then being the forerunner of those IN Christ (the firstborn (& by implication, the Creator) of the new creation) - also Romans 8:29; Hebrews 12:23. Blessings.

    Greetings to you brother Leon. Sending this response in two pages.

    The Scriptures you cited on Christ the Light & His involvement in creation were excellent: none can oppose such Truth. The question remains, could a God, who is Light & dwells in Light, cannot also create something that has no light or is unformed? Your answer to this is noted - my answer compels me to look at the whole of creation, which does not always attest to a God of Light creating what we would like to think or believe as perfect. We would have to ask about the creation of the other planets & stars: were they created perfect? If yes, then is their present perfection by our standards actually an imperfection? Or, if Earth's formless, empty condition in Genesis 1:2 was as a result of being evil affected, how could an evil entity be able to create such a cataclysmic condition to God's creation? Why hasn't that happened now to the Earth under our present abounding evil? All rhetorical questions no doubt, & for that reason I could never formulate a belief on a single verse & make an assumption that God has to work in a certain manner just because He is a God of Light.

    Revelation 13:8. In the normal reading of that verse, it speaks of the Christ, the Lamb of God, Who was in the Plan of God even before the Earth's creation, to one day become God's sacrificial Lamb. So clear was His destiny, it could be said that His coming as God's Word, His preparation, & His ministry labelled Him as One already sacrificed (ahead of time).

    Yet, when reading this verse from the Lexicon, it's interesting that it's given as 'those whose names have not been written from the foundation of the world, in the book of life of the Lamb who has been slain'. However, I doubt whether the verse should be understood in this way, though there is Truth in this also.
  • Lauren - In Reply - 4 years ago
    S. Spencer, That is tremendous. Praise God..... to have absolutely no faith in our own righteousness, but to say,

    "I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus" in the face of every confusion or weakness. This prayer has helped me many, many times. God Bless!

  • Jesse - In Reply on Revelation 1 - 4 years ago
    Nicole,

    First of all, I am sorry to hear about the passing of your mom and grandmother. You and your husband are in a tough position and my heart goes out to you both. I am not sure what your options are but living out on the street would not be good. If you and your husband are financially able to afford an apartment, have you looked into renting a small house instead, or perhaps a trailer? In many places, the cost of renting a house is comparable to being in an apartment. I don't want to pry into your personal business but perhaps a relative could take you in temporarily until you find a place?

    I am trying to make sense out of why this person would offer up their home to a couple of Christians. I understand the friend thing, but I don't understand a Satanist sharing his home with a couple of believers. That part doesn't make sense to me.

    The Lord works in ways we oftentimes cannot understand. Maybe by you and your husband being where you're at now, this could be His way of bringing conviction into this person's heart. I'm not saying that's the case because I don't know the answer to that.

    Either way, you belong to the Lord. Trust in Him always. Go wherever He leads you.

    Please pray hard for your friend. Pray that the Lord might use you and your husband as a witness of what Christ has done for you and that His will might be done in your circumstances.
  • Arthur Koestler - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Sacha,

    I'm glad you enjoyed the book. Koestler and his wife both paid a price with their lives, after being hounded by Jew's for spilling the beans on who the Ashkenazim were; Khazars of Japheth. They were both found dead in their home, and those in the know, say they were poisoned.

    OSEAS

    What Bible are you reading? You give me the biggest headache trying to follow along. It's both rambling and vague, and your use of scripture is wanting. How is anyone supposed to read that rap and understand who these two kings are? What thinker could possibly settle on two anti christ's where each one will rule his kingdom for 3 years and a day? Even I know anti christ receives 42 months of power, then defeated by Jesus.

    The beast & Babylon are hidden in plain sight, and those who know can rationalize who they are with logic. I'm better off reading the Bible myself, then figure this out.

    Can someone with knowledge please look at what OSEAS is saying, and evaluate it accordingly to scripture?
  • Tina - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Hi Chad, My dad was also on dialysis for about 10 years and chose to stop when it was not helping with his quality of life. I do not believe that stopping dialysis is a form of suicide. I believe that Gods word permits us to decline life-sustaining medical treatment that is either ineffective or excessively burdensome. In Ecclesiastes 3 it says there is a time to die, this can also include a time to stop resisting death by means of measures that are minimally effective or have frequent, serious side effects. I believe with all of my heart that my dad went to Heaven!!!
  • Are Wakowako on Acts 16 - 4 years ago
    When the jailor asked; Sirs, what must I do to be saved? Was he referring to salvation (spiritual saving) or physical saving - from the wrath of his superiors after Paul and Silas were miraculously released?
  • Nicole - In Reply on Revelation 1 - 4 years ago
    I am seriously considering living in a motel for a while, we do pay the guy's mom $300 a month to stay here, we have been in touch with various landlords since March of this year, but no one ever gets back to us, or they rent to someone else. My husband and I don't have any relatives to stay with as my family stopped talking to me after my grandma's passing, and my husband's cousins at first agreed to us living with them until we found our own place, but then they backed out at the last minute. I can't leave this state since I am on disability, and all of my doctors are here. I definitely would not rather live with a Satanist over a Christian, we definitely don't plan on living here for very much longer.
  • Adam - In Reply on Revelation 1 - 4 years ago
    Hi Nicole, just so you know, I would rather stay outside in a tent anyday than stay under the same roof as a satanist. That's great that you've sought advice, but even though I think you have some concern, to me, I don't think you're taking this very seriously. I don't think you've tried very hard or have exhausted all your possible options. If it were me, I'd move out immediately THEN I'd decide where to go. I'd stay at a motel for the first day, then travel to the nearest relevatives if I had no money. I'd then call a church- have you tried that? To me it sounds like maybe you'd rather stay with a satanist than with a Christian. I just don't understand it and it sounds like your faith might be in jeopardy.

    If it were truly important then you would follow Matthew 5:30 and do absolutely everything possible immediately, even cut off your own arm, to get away. To me it would be an absolute emergency, but I can see you're taking your time and a little frustrated with only one landlord? (aren't there many more, can't you leave town?), but otherwise enjoying free rent. What is more important to you, free rent or your faith? This should be a very easy decision. You have to choose your priorities and what is most important to you. I'm concerned for your soul.

    Joshua 24:15

    God bless...

    Amen Lauren.

    There's a lesson to us all,

    The Power and virtue is in Christ distributed by the Spirit.

    We can't manifest it with our intellect or delivering anything what we " Think" is powerful by our delivery or shout something into motion whether it's bringing someone to Christ or running off demons, we're in the flesh when we think more of ourselves than what we ought.

    The only weapon we have is a sword

    Ephesians 6:17. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:

    And we use that sword to point to Christ and the cross in the manner Paul did with the Corinthians!

    John 12:32. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.

    " There's our strength."

    1 Corinthians 2:4. And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, BUT IN DEMONSTRATION OF THE SPIRIT AND OF POWER!:

    Here's another point to take notice in these verses. We know wisdom is made over unto us by way of the cross.

    And we know our redemption is by way of the cross.

    But we sometimes forget that our

    " Imputed Righteousness " and sanctification is by way of the cross.

    1 Corinthians 1:30. But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, WHO OF GOD IS MADE UNTO US wisdom, and RIGHTEOUSNESS, and SANCTIFICATION, and redemption:

    1 Corinthians 1:31. That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.

    God bless.

    There will be two Beasts as soon the last week of Daniel 9:v.27 starts. Both Beasts will work together: (1)The Beast of sea-a Gentile Beast; and (2)"ANOTHER Beast will come up out of the earth(Israel);and he has two horns like a lamb, and he speaks as Dragon

    (1)BEAST OF SEA

    Rev.13:v.1-And I stood upon the sand of the sea (sea means waters. Waters mean peoples, and nations, and multitudes of all tongues-Gentile peoples), and saw a Beast rise up out of the sea,having seven heads (7 heads are 7 mountains, and 7 kings),and ten horns (10 horns are 10 kings), and upon his(10)horns ten crowns (because are 10 kings), and upon his heads the name of blasphemy. What's name of blaspheme? Well, this Man Beast, is a religious and satanic MONSTER who has 7 heads in this current time,the 10 kings are not linked to him yet, and this powerful religious and satanic MONSTER manifests himself as a Christian, even as Vicarius Filii Dei, actually a false Christian.

    The 7 heads of the Beast are 7 hills or 7 mountains that Christians imagine Scriptures refer to the 7 hills of Rome. In anyway, the woman which rides upon the Beast of sea-the RCC- is materially sat upon many peoples, and multitudes, and nations and tongues, and all them are spread by 7 regions of the Earth, i.e.in Europe,and Asia, Africa,Oceania(Australia),and North America,Central America, and South America, but spiritually they are guided and ruled by the Beast of sea, whose headquarter is Vatican City built on the 7 hills of Rome.

    About 10 kings they will be linked to that Beast of sea when the MAN Beast of earth(2) gives to him his Throne in Jerusalem, and Power, and great Authority to him.

    (2) The Beast of earth(Israel) like a lamb, a false lamb, an ESOTERIC and KABBALISTIC, and SPIRITIST Beast, the future guide and ruler of Judaism and the nation of ISRAEL,he will manifest himself as messiah,a man understood in Torah,a false prophet of the Jews-2Thes.2

    Each one will rule Antichrist's kingdom by 3 years a
  • Nicole - In Reply on Revelation 1 - 4 years ago
    Hello Jesse. Yes, I have read all of those scriptures before, I actually did stop being friends on social media with that Satanist, and even though we live under the same roof my husband and I stay in our room with the door closed. My husband is Christian, but he never seems to get plagued by Satan. We both want to leave and have our own home, but landlords keep ignoring our applications for apartments, and if we weren't here we would be out on the street. I lived with my grandma for many years, and was her caregiver all the way until she passed in 2020. I met my husband in 2017, and he moved in with me in 2018, and married in 2019. My grandma's kids sold the house in April 2021 while we were still living there which left my husband and I to almost be homeless.
  • Nicole - In Reply on Revelation 1 - 4 years ago
    Hello Adam. My husband and I are living here temporarily with the Satanist, because I lived with my grandma and mom all my life, my mom passed in 2013, and my grandma passed in 2020. Her kids sold the house while we were still living there, and we had no where else to go. We are always putting in applications for apartments, but the land lords keep giving the apartments to other people. My Satanist friend offered us a place to live because he didn't want to see us on the street, but we very seldom converse with him. Most of the time my husband and I stay in our bedroom with the door closed.

    Genesis 3:v.1-4

    Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

    2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:

    3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.

    4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall not surely die:

    Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:v.21

    When the Devil speaks, his speech is accompanied by the death, or death comes together his speech simultaneously. Why? Because the Devil's speech changes the course of the nature, as is written in James 3:v.6-8:

    6 The tongue is a FIRE, a world of iniquity: so is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the whole body, and setteth on fire the course of nature; and it is set on FIRE of HELL.

    7 For every kind of beasts, and of birds, and of serpents, and of things in the sea, is tamed, and hath been tamed of mankind:

    8 But the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison.

    Romans 3:v.13-14

    13 Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips:

    14 Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness:

    2 Corinthians 11:v.13-15

    13 For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ.

    14 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

    15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers (MINISTERS of Satan) also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

    NOTE:

    There will be two powerful Beasts in near future: The ancient Beast of sea-the Papacy-, and the Beast of earth(Israel) with two horns like a lamb(false lamb/false messiah), and he spake as Dragon.
