Ah Men!

Who are we to question everything in "the after life"..in Gods Glory or in Hell. God Is God..or Even God changing His Mi on something...etc., .... Jesus came to walk this earth for a reason...To teach us about ..THe 'I AM' !

I believe that there will be a 'spiritual reunion' in Gods Glory between those domestic animal companions whom Gods LOve existed between them and man while here on earth before their physical death. I believe that there exists 'evil and Godly Spirit also in those companion animals... Their Soul ( their thinking, emotions, and choices), is similar to man....whether something is good or bad etc, when something hurts them or makes them happy etc, and they can choose to proceed in doing, or run away from it..avoid someone or thing, or love them and demonstrate it, etc.

And yes, I believe that "nothing is impossible with God"...specifically that He will also make 'a way for spiritual connection between 'mans spirit and their beloved animal companion in Heaven.. possibly being able to communicate their thoughts to each other 'in Spirit'...

I'm hoping The Holy Spirit to move in His Truth as you choose to respond to my views.. Glory To God!!

What a powerful witness, both you and your son! This moves me greatly. Holding you in prayer.....

Please pray for Kristie and myself. Pray the Lord give her the strength and courage to do all that is before her and strength and courage to face the challenges, pray as as she can finally give me the answers I seek

Thank you brethren for your prayers and notes of encouragement which are virtue added to our faith! One more day forward in the Love of Christ.



My son's name is Matthew, he just turned 19 and has been to Calvary and carries the Lord's presence as a witness.

God bless our walk in Him together.

I do not subscribe to the idea that a person cannot fall away, the reason being is that there are so many warnings in the bible about that. However I do not claim to know everything and have been feeling distant from God. It is a scary feeling and I do not want to be an apostate. Alot of confusion and sadness

Lex,

In James 1:8 we see the phrase "double minded man." It says he is unstable in all his ways.

But what is that talking about? If you look at verse 5, it says "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him."

Now, this word wisdom does not mean that God is going to give a person knowledge and understanding. Many believe that is what wisdom means.

But taking it in context from verse 1, you can see that wisdom is gained by going through the various trials that God puts us through.

We are put through trials in order to learn how to trust God. We have to be careful about telling others that if they are lacking in wisdom to ask God and He will give it to them.

So a double minded person is the person who asks for wisdom, and then when God starts putting trials and hardships before them to teach them how to trust Him, they start to stress out. Instead of remaining under their circumstances (HUPOMENO) and trusting God to work it out, they try to handle the situation themselves which leads them to stress and anxiety.

As far as falling away, a true believer can never fall away to the point of being lost. God's Spirit sealed your spirit and you are being kept by His mighty power. He has you in His grip. He will never let go.

So if someone is having a hard time trusting in the Lord, let them ask for God's wisdom. But when the trials enter in, they must trust Him to work it out. If they still have not learned to trust him, that is a double minded person.

Dear Kenneth Tipton , please do not despair , you have not done one thing that some one else hasnt done before you did , you have not done any thing that God didnt see you do , he was with you the whole time , you cannot ever hide from him and thats a good thing , repent of you sins , open your heart to Him in prayer , dont attempt to hide anything from Him because you know you cant and dont attempt to hide anything from yourself , be honest , the truth is often awful but it must be faced , God loves the truth , talk to Him ,read the Bible ,this isnt about beating yourself up its about recognising your sinfull self and asking God to forgive your sins and help you to move on , surround yourself with other Christians ,keep away from the things and people that tempt you , God loves you ,always ,He will not EVER leave you ,reach out to Him and He will take your hand .

Jesus said 'Fear not, for they can only kill your flesh and not your Soul.

But Fear the One who can kill both'...

He is saying,God,the creator of the soul is the One n only,who can Extinguish it...

This is 'The Fear of the Lord', Knowing/understanding,God can do Whatever he wants with Any person at Anytime.

He does this,because he owns us n everything.

Its the same thing as a person builds a custom car.the owner of the car can do whatever he wants with it,paint it any color,wheels engine etc.he can park it,sell it or scrap it

Because the title is in his name

Dear Kenneth,

It's a common trick by the enemy to persuade you into assuming your sin is too big for grace. That's false. The only unforgivable sin is blasphemy of the holy spirit- all others are absolutely forgivable. Paul used to murder Christians before being the biggest evangelist for Christ in world history and writing most books in the Bible. Moses killed someone. David had a twisted affair where he killed her husband. God can forgive you if you repent.

Is Jesus's death on the cross not good enough for you? God already loved you so much He died for you- what else can He do? If you're a lost sheep all you need to do is call out to Jesus- give your heart to Him and He will find and rescue you. Don't believe the devil's lies. Fight back by reading God's word and staying in the truth- keeping your metaphorical armor of God on to fight against satan's lies. Then once you find your way back to Jesus, 'go and sin no more'. God bless you!

Your Comment...Haran the son of Terah has how many children?

Brother Jesse Tacker, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding. Hebrews 1:3 Who (Christ) being the brightness of his (the Father's) glory, and the express image of His (the Father's) person, and upholding all things by the word of his (the Father's) power, when he (Christ) by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the majesty on High. Revelation 3:14 ....The beginning of creation.... Christ was the FIRST MAN and he is GOD. The beginning (the first man) and the ending (the last man). Psalms 82:6 I (God) have said, Ye are gods, the children of the most high. John 10:34 Jesus answered them, is it not WRITTEN in your law, I said, Ye are gods? John 10:35 If he called them gods, unto whom (CHRIST IN YOU) the word of God came unto; and the scripture cannot be broken; Christ is CREATING Sons of God; exactly like him, when he is finished we will be gods just as he is. Romans 8:29 ....To be conformed to the IMAGE of his Son .... Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be IN YOU which was ALSO IN Christ Jesus, who being in the form of God thought it not robbery to be EQUAL WITH GOD. The saints cannot rule and judge the world without being EXACTLY like God. Isaiah 32:1 Behold a king shall reign in righteousness, and princes shall rule in judgement." View & Reply

Love The Comment............

It's said that God closes doors no man can open and opens doors no man can close.

The question I propose is this. When you are given an open door and you go through, after you cross the threshold is it your responsibility to close that door behind you?

I have gone so deep in sin that I am ashamed to ask the Lord Jesus to help me. I am so alone and afraid. The "Prodigal Son" would be ashamed to be seen with me and that only the least of my shame.

In my marriage, we both walk with the Lord. But after the Lord gave me a miracle to my husband by helping to stop alcohol drinking thank you, Lord. I give all the glory to my God for hearing our prayers and released my husband from no more drinking and now he walks and reads the bible Amen. But we both live in the house one in one room and I in the other now for almost 2 years, trying to give him time to give me LOVE. No hardly kissing, hugging, talking, or doing anything together. I love my husband we both love the Lord but I want to be as one as the bible says. AMEN

Please pray for me as my finances are very low. My pension isn't much and the cost of living is very high where I live. It is very hard to save money on a low pension. I pray every day about my money situation.

Very much interested

Does double mindedness mean that a person is a believer but acting carnally or does it mean that a person is struggling between faith and unbelief? I have submitted a similar question before and have been concerned about this matter for a while. Does anyone have scripture and insights on this?

In my concerns about falling away and having thoughts of doubt and unbelief I have been thinking about the seal of the Holy Spirit and what is written in Romans 14:5. If anyone would please provide insight I would seriously appreciate it.

OSEAS,

You said "the week 70th of Daniel 9:v.27 (7 years) is within of this current decade"

Listen to this:

-Jesus had the first 1/2 of the week, 42 months, and was cut off.

-antichrist gets the second half of the week, 42 months, and is cut off by Jesus Messiah.

It is a multi-thousand year old prophesy. There is no 7 year end-time run when he is revealed, only 42 months.

We must be ready when Jesus comes.

I supposed It would be hard to tell some people who are giving their lives today for the Lord Jesus that these things aren't going to happen until after the rapture. Many in other countries are dying for their faith in Jesus.

how was age determine in the days of noah

Reg. Previous comment. I do not see clearly the correlation between question and answer.

Hello Pastor Grant. If you are reading this, what is a good passage for someone who only see the enemy at work and thinks that is God's work. I told him that I hope before his days are over he can be a witness and confess God's work in his life. He was shocked I said that. I told him he is right where the enemy wants him. Fernanda

The book of Romans deals with this. Look at Gods victory at the end of Romans 8

Genesis Ch1 ,V1 might make us think that the heavens and earth were created first , V9 and 10 . God SAID ,SPOKE USED WORDS : let there be light , V3 . Christ is the light John Ch17 V5 . The WORD is : let there be LIGHT .God is the Word ,Christ is the Light ,the Light illuminates the Word . John Ch1 V4 and John Ch8 V12 . If you own a concordance look up the references to light ,there is a wonderful conection .

oSEAS,

I can't believe your behavior. You are a bully. I read through the thread, who are you to say what's right when you don't know yourself. Shameful.

Dear Brother Vincent,

You seem very sure of what the trumpets represent to you.



I will concede that I am not smart enough to attribute the trumpets in revelation to past and present worldly events.

I am familiar with the following scripture:

Matthew 24:6

"And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet."

There have been wars and rumors of wars for many centuries. And as I said previously, many past generations believed that their generation would see the end of time, and it didn't happen.

We may be close, and we may not be close to the end times.

If I concentrate on living my life as the bible states, I hope to be ready to meet Jesus Christ.

God Bless

Brothers and Sisters,

If just believing in Jesus Christ will get you to heaven please reconcile these bible scriptures:

Luke 18:19-25

19And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? none is good, save one, that is, God. 20Thou knowest the commandments, Do not commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not steal, Do not bear false witness, Honour thy father and thy mother. 21And he said, All these have I kept from my youth up. 22Now when Jesus heard these things, he said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing: sell all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, follow me. 23And when he heard this, he was very sorrowful: for he was very rich. 24And when Jesus saw that he was very sorrowful, he said, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! 25For it is easier for a camel to go through a needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Why did Jesus tell the man to take further action if he wanted to reach the kingdom of God? We must not only believe in Jesus Christ. but we must live our lives accordingly. Not easy to do.but no free ticket. We must also take action - according to Jesus.

More scripture below confirming that attaining heaven will not be an easy task:

Matthew 7:13

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat:"

Many people will take the path to destruction.

Today, there are way to many pastors and multitudes of people believing that they can just believe in Jesus Christ and continue to live their worldly lives

Something to think about.

God Bless

Alex comments about believing, Just believing in HIM is not enough read John 2 : 24 Many believed in his name when they saw the miracles that he did but Jesus wd not commit himself unto them b/c he knew WHAT was in MAN and needed not that any should testify of MAN, There has to be conversion by hearing his words ( the living word that GOOD SEED ) Being bornagain by an incorruptible seed etc. Unless ya be converted and become as a lil Child impling a heavenly birth which is our new heart and new spirit. which is that new innerman that has to BORN IN US . My lil Children of whom i travail in birth till Christ ii formed in you. The living word is the Blood simply b/c Jesus was the living word made flesh and blood . Jesus told Nic. a Jew he had to be BORN AGAIN . Jesus said outta of the hearts of man proceeds all manner of evil thus we need a new heart and a new spirit which is bapt. of the H.G. AND FIRE. She brought forth a MANCHILD simply b/c she heard the living WORD that good seed and kept it. And that is when the Kingdom will come. Unless ya receive the Kingdom as a lil child etc impling a heavenly birth .

please continue to pray for myself and my daughters Deanna and Jessica and there families

Thank God your family has the means to respond to a tragedy like this. He's in good care. I can only imagine the horror of Fallujah. Best of luck.
