What come first trumalion rapture

"He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength. Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: but they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint."

Isaiah 40:29-31 KJV

I'm glad I won't be forgiven on the basis that I have forgiven others. That is Law not Grace. We are now forgiven because of the shed blood of Jesus Christ on the cross of Calvary. He forgave us all our sins, past, present and future. That is Grace. Now we forgive because we were forgiven not to gain forgiveness. The Law was given by Moses. God raised up Paul to preach Grace to Gentiles who were - "with out Christ, being ALIENS from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world" Ephesians 2:11-12.

When you read the Bible take note of who it is addressing. We were not told to sacrifice animals, build an ark, keep Jewish holidays, etc. that was under the Law of Moses. We are saved by faith alone. Romans 4:4; Colossians 2:14; Galatians 2:20.

Gregory,

I write this from my heart. As I can only imagine the loss of your wife, stay strong and just try to be patient. I truly have the same feelings of just wanting to go Home and be done with all the evil, wrong, and pain in this world. Keep your faith in Jesus Christ because He hears you and knows everything you are going through. Pour your heart out to Him in tears. Just let it all out and tell Him that you need Him. Lay everything at His feet. He is real my brother and He loves you very much.

There is a reason for everything that we may not understand now but one day it will all be shown to us and every question we have shall be answered.

Romans 8:18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

Keep your faith and trust in our Lord Jesus Christ. Keep praying. Try to stay strong and be patient in these tough times.

Many Blessings to you brother. May our Father allow you to be in peace.

Dear brother, don't let go of the Lord - you are still in His sights & He hasn't let go of you. You might feel he has abandoned you, but if there is rejoicing in Heaven when even one sinner repents, how much more will He not let you His child slip by unnoticed & without a care. Talk to Him often - express to Him all you're going through. Read His Word & take Him for His Word. Always reach out to Him in faith - not looking at what you see in yourself but to the One from Whom all blessing flows.

Even David in Psalm 23:4 when surrounded by his enemies & impending death, would say: "though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil". This is a 'hanging onto the Lord in faith'. Fear & loneliness could have been his ruin, but then he lifted up his eyes in faith to the One Who is altogether faithful.

And yes, you can find pleasure in living again: reach out to someone to share with - you might be the one that that person needs in his hour of distress. Enjoy Christian companionship & fellowship. Submerge that empty feeling by engaging with others & have a real hope for the days ahead. My prayers are with you brother Gregory.

Hello Gregory. Thank you for keeping in touch & for sharing the present burden on your heart. You have carried this sadness of losing your wife for quite some time now & it seems since you first mentioned it, your grief has not lightened in spite of your looking to the Lord.

I can't comment properly since I don't know all your circumstances, but I can only relate your grief & sense of emptiness & worthlessness to what I have experienced, & countless others have also. And yes, there are no easy answers since we each have to deal with our circumstances privately.

I had lost both my parents, my Mother when I was 14 yrs old & my Father, a few years later. I felt my life was not worth living as I couldn't bear the loss & I had no one (on Earth) to turn to. I struggled on, in both life & in the faith, just believing that the God Who loves, cares & knows each of us intimately, will somehow carry me through. I couldn't see the end of it, but I knew the One Who was with me now & would be at the 'end' for me. On the night of my Dad's death, the Lord put in my heart Psalm 16:11, when I didn't even know where the Scripture could be found. "Thou wilt show me the path of life: in Thy Presence is fullness of joy; at Thy right Hand there are pleasures forevermore". Was this any comfort in grief, I thought? It certainly was; it was God's assurance of where my Dad was & the assurance where I was on Earth: both in God's Presence!

For Gregory Byrd....You say that your wife was a Christian. Know that she is in heaven with the Lord God. Only He can decide when we will be with Him there. So go on living and seeing the joy in little things in nature, in your day, in a friend, or relative, and in the big things. You can do this with God'd help, because He has been helping you since and before your wife died. He has been there right with you standing by you in good and bad moments. He will be with you always and promised this in His word. Please know these things are true and the Lord will stand with you holding you up from harm. Take care my friend.

MICHAEL.

PG 3

Matthew 7:24-27 (KJV) Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man,"WHICH BUILT HIS HOUSE UPON A ROCK:"

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock.

And every one that "HEAR" these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which "BUILT HIS HOUSE ON SAND:"

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. ( ONE MAN BUILT HIS HOUS UPON JESUS FINISH WORK ON THE CROSS.) Parallels to Hebrews 10:26-29.

( You can know the way, that doesn't mean you believe in it. you trying to climb up some other kind of way.)

2 Peter 1:8-11. Parallels with 2 Corinthians 13-5. Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, "except ye be reprobates?" (FRUITLESS)

2 Peter 1:8-9"For if these things be in you," and abound, they make you that ye shall neither be barren nor unfruitful in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

But he that lacketh these things is blind, and cannot see afar off, and hath forgotten that he was purged from his old sins. IF WHAT THINGS BE IN YOU? ANSWER IN VERSES 5-7. "FRUIT" IF YOU LACK IT YOUR NOT SAVED. YOU KNOW THEM BY THER FRUIT. MATHEWS 7:16.

Romans 11:20-21 (KJV) Well; because of unbelief they were broken off, and thou standest by faith. Be not highminded, but fear:

For if God spared not the natural branches, take heed lest he also spare not thee. Why were they broken off ? "Because of unbelief?

( Well if you're broken off because of unbelief and it takes belief to be saved then you're not saved, because you didn't believe whom he sent. John 5:38. And ye have not his word abiding in you: for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. ( So how can you loose what you didn't have?)

Can someone please explain romans 3:23 I want to understand the Bible thank you

Lord we come before you for this great grief that this gentleman has. Lord you said where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them. In agreement we pray for your comfort, strength, grace and peace upon him. Help him Lord through this darkest time of his life, help him to be able to see you in His life and comfort in Jesus name we pray amen.

Hi Gregory Byrd,

My sincere condolences on your loss as well & sorry to hear you are facing some difficulties. You are NOT alone.. we each have gone through difficulties & at times it may seem that the Lord is distant ..or even just not around, but let me assure you He IS! One of my most favorite Bible verses is Zephaniah 3:17 "The LORD thy God in the midst of thee is mighty; he will save, he will rejoice over thee with joy; he will rest in his love, he will joy over thee with singing." Even while you're reading this, He is singing over YOU!!

To Gregory, I feel like that all the time, and even feel that the church let me down. Hardly anybody showed support or compassion for me, but my strength came from God himself. I had my children taken away from me, I was homeless twice, after I came off the street to heal, I got really sick and was about to die, O but God. Even as I write this I am getting a personal inventory. I was about to die in the presence of the proud and no good female physician who saw me in the shell of my body. All I can see was her degrading me as a black human being. With all my life I got the hell up with the strength I had as a mother and vomited one last time and told her. 'Don't you ever mishandel me lime that again! She grabbed my tiny wrist and told me to 'Get Up! All I can think about was his I was treated when I was married and know what to expect from the public. The spirit of suicide was there too! It was not me at all. Look God wants you in a place where he can minister to you. It would not be his glory for you to allow the devil to push you to that point. What would your wife want? Yeah people give you scriptures but I give you life through my story. I am here by the grace of God and still get attacked! Thus day my only boys my joys do not even speak to me so God knows your pain. He bird all of your griefs and sorrows and was a man full of them. Jesus is still the answer in your frustration. And you, have to do a ridiculous thing by thanking him in your frustration which is humility of flesh. Have you read the book of job? At the end God rewarded him family and the whole nine! He got new daughters home and everything and he didn't give up! Your heaviness is so hard to carry, but Jesus is a heavy load barer. You can give the enemy a black eye. I am still in this thing almost 14 years! The whore took my kids, I made destitute and unrecognizable, thrown in the street by judges. It was not fair....I still hurt. Doors close in my face all the time, people play with income! When

Revelation 1 - 14 - 15

'' his head and hair as white like wool , as white as snow '' .

don't look at the colour , look at the texture . WOOL ! , wooly hair , curly hair , nappy hair , Afro hair .

if you look today , most people with that hair are ? , so called black people & islanders right ?

'' And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace '' .

Brass is the colour of a gold coin & the furnace is like a chimney .

if you put a pizza in the furnace and bring it out half time what colour is it ? golden-ish Brown-ish right & if you leave the pizza in the furnace overtime and bring it out afterwards , what colour is it then ? Black !

So what does this tell you ? because from reading , researching and connecting the dots it told me he is a dark skin man with very wooly hair & not a white man with straight hair and brown eyes , like they say today .

Hello Gregory, I literally feel your pain, and have asked these same questions after my husband of 26 years passed away 5 months ago. The reality of the fact that life is going on without them is starting to set in. If we (you) have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ's payment for our sins ( John 3:16) and have been born again into the family of God, then we can claim and stand upon the precious promises of God given in His Word. He will never leave us nor forsake us, and promised to send us a "Comforter" which is the Holy Spirit. He strengthens our faith and reminds us of the Blessed Hope we have through Christ. The Blessed Hope is that this world is not our home, and that the Lord will come back, just as He said He would. This Blessed Hope and His truly AMAZING Grace is what has helped me hold myself and my family together. This verse has helped me tremendously :

II Corinthians 12:9

And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

It is when we are weak that we can feel His perfect strength to help us. Just like his grace, we receive it when we need it. Not a moment too soon, and NEVER late, but right on time. He doesn't give us tomorrows grace today. I have learned more about the faithfulness of God in the last 6 months than in the 40 years that I have been a child of God. Draw closer (nigh) to God and he will draw closer to you. Talk to Him, bear your soul to Him. Read your Bible and look for His answers to you. Cling to every promise, count every blessing, continue your walk with the Lord. If you attend a good KJV Bible preaching church, go everytime you can. The Lord has amazed me with messages that our Pastor gives that are exactly what I needed when I needed it. Much love and prayers as you work though your loss...

Brother adam, may christ in us grace us with his wisdom and his understanding.

we don't have to wait for judgement day to be born again (saved).

ephesians 1:4 according as he hath chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

romans 5:8 but god commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were sinners he died for us.

psalms 106:8 nonetheless he saved them for his name sake, that he might make his mighty power to be known.

isaiah 43:25 i, even i, am he that blotteth out thy transgressions for mine own sake....

jeremiah 14:7 o lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do thou it for thy name ....

ezekiel 20:44 and ye shall know that i am the lord, when i have wrought with you for my name .....

there is dozens of scriptures that say, god does everything for his name; we are the beneficiaries of his works; for his name.

we are graced!

When God told Noah to build an ark and it rained for 40 days and nights to flood the world, God made a rainbow to show Noah his promise not to flood the world again. My question is was that rainbow truly the first rainbow to ever be seen? If so, how is that possible when science can explain why there are rainbows? Did that science not exists at that time until God invented it?

how can modern day women better understand there place in gods sight without them feeling that they have been left out , Some in my opinion act as if the term man does include women and humans just because some places in the Bible it may just say man, and should men just have women bring the way the world is changing into the church worship ie. breaking through the good old boys jobs of corp. America.

Please someone pray for me I have been dealing with addiction lately and it has kept me away from my family and friends and I've struggled with this for 2 years and I think I need to follow the way of God but I always end up doing it again and I feel like giving up so please someone please pray for me to overcome this trauma thank you it will mean very much for me.

Dear brother in Christ, I am so sorry to hear of your grief. I pray you can find comfort in the Lord and His word. My prayers for comfort are with you.

Praying for you

Ecclesiastes 3 (KJV)

To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:

A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;

1 Thessalonians 4 (KJV)

But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.

For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him.

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.

For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.

Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

It means the bridal church generation. The bridal church generation is the Grace Generation. Grace will not pass until we see things happen and the Son of man will appear in the sky in the clouds shining brightly.

My husband never lets me right...which don't matter to me it's that he wants to be over me...he curses me daily..says horrible things but the weirdest is anything I say "anything"........he was raped by his father so I feel bad for him .....anything I can do

Hi Richard. When I need a good washing on the Word: I actually read Proverbs to look for my weak ie Being wise and avoiding snares.

Jobs friends sounded reasonable, but at the end they were corrected by God.

To know to do something and then not do it. I don't think Jesus cared for that.

Like Paul, I got knocked off my high horse, and saw Truth standing in front of me. Let us all remember our beginnings, when we didn't know much at all.

If we forget practical, we are standing close to political. Just a weird thought...
