I believe Christians most often worship on Sunday, because that's the example given for what the early Christians did: Acts 20:7
1 Timothy 4:8 ...having promise of the life (Christ in us) that now is, and of that (Christ in us) which is to come.
1 Timothy 4:10 For therefore we do labour and suffer reproach, because we trust in the living God, who is the SAVIOUR OF ALL MEN, especially those that believe.
1 Timothy 4:11 These things COMMAND AND TEACH.
Matthew 5:9 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these LEAST commandments, and shall TEACH MEN SO, he shall be called least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and TEACH THEM shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
I shall not want' means that everything you need, you have. On an higher plane of consciousness everything is available for you. All that remains is just for you to see in faith. It is a proclamation of acknowledging God, the divinity within yourself and the awesome power your mind cannot even comprehend.
The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. The speaker says that the Lord (God) is like a shepherd to him. Instead, he means that with God as his protector, he won't lack anything he needs. The word "want", means "lack." I shall not lack...
When we're afraid of dying, we don't need a shepherd's rod to discipline us or his crook to pull us back on the path. We can pass through that valley without fear because we know our Shepherd is with us, and we're comforted to know that he's fully capable of guiding and sustaining us.
May CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.
Revelation 17:16 And the ten horns (sons of God) which thou saweth upon the beast (mount of Esau) these (sons of God) shall hate the WHORE (those raised back into SINFUL FLESH), and shall make her desolate, and naked, and shall eat her flesh and, and burn her with (spiritual) FIRE.
Revelation 17:17 For God hath put in their (new) hearts to fulfil his will (all men will be save), and to agree (with his will), and to GIVE THEIR KINGDOM (Christ in you) unto the beast (those resurrected back into sinful flesh), until the words of God be fulfilled (ALL WE WORSHIP, OBEY, AND SERVE GOD).
We can ask of God to surround someone with protection, help or blessing. Make your requests known to God...
Our words can be powerful. Words of life, death, peace and safety, comfort and love. Angels serve God only.
Matthew 6
Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.
9. After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11. Give us this day our daily bread.
12. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
13. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
Use that energy to help other people remember this prayer. It's the words of Jesus, and all of heaven pauses to listen to you speak it.
I saw the posts one with a question and one with just my name. If for me, I'm sorry I do not understand the purpose of the question. If you disagree with what I have posted, click reply on that thread with my name at the top. Tell me what you disagree with and why and maybe we both can learn. If someone shows me, I may be wrong, I can go back and study and if I was not correct, I take it as a blessing. If the question was a jab, I will not jab back.
Let's lift up and support each other to learn, grow and walk in the Spirit.

Galatians 5:25 "If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit." Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
1 Corinthians 6:9 "Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,"
May CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.
Romans 8:19 For the earnest expectation of the creature WAITETH (till the second resurrection) for the manifestation of the Sons of God.
Romans 8:21 For the creature (creation) ITSELF shall BE DELIVERED (in the next age) from the bondage of corruption (death an grave) into the glorious LIBERTY OF THE SONS OF GOD.
Obadiah 1:17 And upon mount Zion SHALL BE DELIVERANCE (in the next age), and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob (sons of God) shall possess their possessions.
Obadiah 1:18 And the house of Jacob (sons of God) shall be a FIRE (created in Christ image and likeness; spiritual fire), and the house of Joseph (sons of God) a FLAME (spiritual fire), and the house of Esau (those resurrected back into their flesh) for stubble (to be burned and destroyed by SPIRITUAL FIRE), and they (sons of God) shall kindle IN THEM (Christ in you)(spiritual fire), and devour them (their flesh); and there shall not be any remaining (flesh; worldliness) of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath SPOKEN IT.
Obadiah 1:21 And SAVIOURS (sons of God now exactly created into Christ image) shall come upon mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; AND THE KINGDOM SHALL BE THE LORD'S.
Every one of us battles this every day, being content. ( Hebrews 13:5) Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. It is like the examples in the Bible of sheep fully trusting their master to take care of all their needs.
We must be as sheep, we must accept we are completely dependent on our Shepherd for protection and all our needs regardless of what state we are in. The wolves of this world can easily chase down a sheep and if we rely on ourselves were goners.
Even if we walk through the valley of the shadow of death God is still providing and protecting us. Even if we are struggling, in despair, heartbroken we must remember we are His sheep. This is easy to say and the eyes of desire in our flesh are strong. So when the old if word invades our head; if it went this way, if I had that, if, if, if. We humble ourselves and pray to be led by the Spirit in the faith of Jesus Christ our Savior for strength.
We must remember our promise is not of this world and regardless of what we face in this world, the face we will see when this world is gone will wipe all fears, sorrows, and troubles away. Our faith in Jesus Christ, by the grace of God, and with the gift of the Holy Ghost we may stumble but we will not fall and the joy we will have when we see His Face is unimaginable.

One nice part of the view and practice of a present kingdom of heaven on earth by Jesus Christ is the lack of need of believers to be involved in politics where we can keep our non-resistance alive in our hearts for healing purposes while living by the Spirit in truth.
The nature of the kingdom is peace, while the nature of the world is violence. Both John the Baptist and Jesus preached that the Kingdom of heaven was at hand.
Outside of this present kingdom, the battle for the soul reigns.
Matthew 3:1-2
Matthew 4:17
We may now see what the sting is, the jab?
and --
Knowing then, the ones, becoming spike protein factories, causingCovaids, will have no natural immune system to fight the next wild virus that comes along.
The blood clotting is another issue, strokes and heart problems etc.
The prions issue, is yet another concern.
Could the possibility of contracting dementia, or ALS, or Parkinson's disease, be why the CDC has warned about the zombie apocalypse for years now? Not kidding -look it up!
An agonizing death may come about, whereas people may wish for their death.
Toss DNA and CERNbringing giants back? Is that too bizarre, when Congress just voted, that it's OK to put a human embryo into an animal?

The words Jew and Gentile can be confusing and when studying we must closely examine the context to make sure their meaning is clear. Due to centuries of mass indoctrination, in the minds of most people, the world is now divided into two groups of people - the Jews and everyone else, as if the Jews constitute the entirety of the kingdoms of Judah and Israel.
Gentile, the original words goy and ethnos refer to "peoples" or "nations" and are applied to both Israelites and non-Israelites in the Bible. It is derived from the Latin word gentilis, which means one who is not a Roman citizen. What's unique, by its meaning a single person can not be called a gentile.
Jew, the term "Jew" did not even appear until the southern kingdom of Judah was taken captive of Babylon. Jew is an abbreviated slang term for Judahite, a resident of the southern kingdom of Judah.
If you refer to those in the Judaism Abrahamic ethnic religion they do not accept Jesus as the Messiah who came 2000 years ago. The New Testament is not relevant to them.
But the Jew pronounced in Romans 2: 28-29 For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. Those Jews do cherish the New Testament.

I just finished Solomon's books. He served both the Lord, and strange gods 20 years each. He is portrayed as great statesman, vast in wisdom, wealth and power. Solomon sinned greatly against the Lord, the betrayal was blinding. Turning away from God to seek wisdom makes for a tragedy. From idolatry to marrying 700 forbidden women, his foul behavior ultimately lead to the kingdom being torn in two.
1 Kings 11 is a bitter pill that reveals how Solomon very poorly finished up his life. His actions, not even God could pardon.
The Freemasons hold Solomon in high regard because of his rebellion against the Almighty. My grand dad had a Masonic Bible, and the forward was written about Solomon.
13 Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the OSTRICH?
14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.
16 She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;
17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.
18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
The ostrich has fluffy heavy wings, cannot fly well. Tries to outrun enemies.
She lays her eggs on the ground in the dust. No protection from being crushed by feet. Exposed eggs to be food to others. Wanders off.
No mother instinct to protect the egg till it hatches. Thinks they'll be just fine without her. Does not have reverence for the gift of life.
May be unaware that she is devoid of wisdom and needs understanding on how to reproduce with success. Doesn't ask for help. Thinks shes a diva and can outrun the horse and riders life throws at her.
Doesn't ask for help. Feeds on self-importance and doesn't know she has nothing others want.
This is really a stunning reveal on ostrich-like behavior.
Sometimes when I read JOB, I see mind-blowing truth about God
The world already is a battlefield, is it not? I looked at a part in your post that said you know Christians who support abortions. No you Don't! A Christian does not support sin; 1st John 3:8 (He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.) There is no excuse for sin, but there is a remedy( Jesus ).
There is a big difference in claiming something and being something; 2nd Timothy 3:5 (Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.) You will know them by their fruits, if the fruit is rotten so is the tree.
The number is given:
Revelation 5:8-11
8 And when he had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of odours, which are the prayers of saints.
9 And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and ;thousands of thousands
Do the math: ten thousand x ten thousand = one hundred thousand, plus thousands of thousands = one hundred forty four thousand. Anyone that claims that they are worthy, or measure up to be selected for the firstfruits resurrection should also count themselves as the elect. Otherwise, know your place and wait till the 2nd resurrection.
Revelation 20:5
5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection.
Read Jeremiah 50 & 51 and ask yourself if God fashioned America after the whore of Babylon.
This Babylon is not the Vatican, it has a king, and a big army that's taken down to hell by surprise.
Jeremiah 50:43 seals Babylon's fate.
That particular message was for Norman to perhaps relay back to the guy was feeding him that information.
I do believe there's. material in some of those books that can be used in a historical study and be helpful.
But not needed.
You can tare John 3:16 out the bible and still come to the conclusion after reading the Bible that: 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.
"This attack on the Bible saying it has been tampered with and that it can't be trusted, Says God can't preserve his word.
That is an insult to The Almighty God described in the Bible.
God bless.
John 3:3-5 Jesus told Nicodemus, we must be born again.
When I asked Jesus into my life, I didn't hear harps playing or see any vision of wonder; I only felt the hot tears from a heart, broken over a life of sin.
I still sin. We all do. But we have an advocate with the Father. 1 John 2:1. How long does it take to bend a knee to confess and be restored?
Jesus wasn't offering cheap fire insurance when He hung on the cross. It cost him everything.
He is Gods son, but he was fully human on this earth.
When I cut myself shaving, I think of the 40+1 lashes that Jesus took for me; from a vile Roman scourge whip. I say ouch and then thank you Jesus. It's all good. :)
A Christian is God conscious; not sin conscious. Our sins are forgiven. Hallelujah.

Wesley's Notes for Revelation 20:4
20:4 And I saw thrones - Such as are promised the apostles, # Matt 19:28|; Luke 22:30. And they - Namely, the saints, whom St. John saw at the same time, # Dan 7:22|, sat upon them; and Judgment was given to them. # 1Cor 6:2|. Who, and how many, these are, is not said. But they are distinguished from the souls, or persons, mentioned immediately after; and from the saints already raised. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded - With the axe: so the original word signifies. One kind of death, which was particularly inflicted at Rome, is mentioned for all. For the testimony of Jesus, and for the word of God - The martyrs were sometimes killed for the word of God in general; sometimes particularly for the testimony of Jesus: the one, while they refused to worship idols; the other, while they confessed the name of Christ. And those who had not worshipped the wild beast, nor his image
