WOW just what I was looking for. Came here by searching for Click here

Waking up every morning between 3-4am could this mean something?

When I was first saved, one day driving in the car I was humming to myself a popular song on the radio.. suddenly I heard within, "ssshhh, be still." This startled me, as I had never heard interior words before like this. The feeling drew me in, it was very attracting. it felt hugely peaceful. I didn't know whether to trust it. Then I heard more . . . . . I began to trust it, for the effects it brought, peace, amazement, wisdom, guidance, solutions ..... I started to write in a notebook all I heard. Over time, he has become my constant companion. When you live with such wisdom, the world holds nothing anymore. My reasoning mind no longer competes with him.

btw, I believe the Holy Spirit "speaks" in many different ways to believers. Not just interior words.... But this happened to me.

In my experience, the Holy Spirit most often speaks a scripture to show me which way to go.

I was never good at wondering what other people are thinking. The Holy Spirit already knows what direction your mind is leaning towards. Might as well talk about it. No question is lame. Start some dialog.

One time He said: the Tree is known by its fruit. I read all of the fruit scriptures I could find.

Develop your TEACHER - STUDENT relationship. We need to fine tune our listening skills. Be willing to be in an position of intense listening. He is a real person who just happens to be invisible; living inside your heart.

He has so many roles towards us. Just look Him up in a Bible Encyclopedia sometime.

prayer for my friends and family and my relationship also i hope i get my tubes untied

The word Christendom encompasses the Medieval and Renaissance idea of the central place of Christianity in the lives of nations, countries, states, and individuals. The definition of Christendom is a group of people or nations under a Christian set of morals and values.

You'll just have to do some googling on that question, and a bit of digging. I think it's similar to a word we use now: Christianity.

1Ti 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; (the word bishop, elder, and deacon were interchangeable for overseer or leaders of the congregation)

1Ti 3:12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.

Tit 1:5 For this cause left I thee in Crete, that thou shouldest set in order the things that are wanting, and ordain elders in every city, as I had appointed thee:

Tit 1:6 If any be blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of riot or unruly.

Tit 1:7 For a bishop must be blameless, as the steward of God; not selfwilled, not soon angry, not given to wine, no striker, not given to filthy lucre;

God bless

I'm just going to comment on the skinny of the wars in the Bible.

There were wars that God ALLOWED, and then the wars that God COMMANDED. The book of Joshua is a good book to follow on "wars". It mentions wars and battles.

"WESLEY'S COMMENTARY for Deuteronomy 20:4

20:2 Speak unto the people - Probably to one regiment of the army after another.

20:5 What man - This and the following exceptions are to be understood only of a war allowed by God, not in a war commanded by God, not in the approaching war with the Canaanites, from which even the bridegroom was not exempted, as the Jewish writers note.

20:6 A vineyard - This and the former dispensation were generally convenient, but more necessary in the beginning of their settlement in Canaan, for the encouragement of those who should build houses or plant vineyards, which was chargeable to them, and beneficial to the common - wealth. Eaten of it - Heb. made it common, namely, for the use of himself and family and friends, which it was not, 'till the fifth year."

In a war that God commanded, normal home building, animal care, vineyard planting would have to be entrusted with other family members.

Life doesn't stop because you are of an age to join. People still get married and become fathers.

There is a kind of harmony in the Books of Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles. Also Joshua.

In 1 Corinthians 12:8 is a group of Ministry gifts that may not be in a position to have home, family, possessions, land. They traveled from place to place. Our times are different with trains, planes etc.

I suggest you use Google to search out Commentaries written by different preachers.

In Google type out: book and verse (you wish to study) and then type COMMENTARY after it.

Sounds like a really good subject to study. Come back this way and let us know what you found.

Mishael

You will have to expound on that question. In Hebrews it says:

Heb 1:1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets,

Heb 1:2 Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son,

As believers we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit and He speaks to us by way of the Bible. He often works in directing our lives if we will let Him. But we no longer hear "audible" voices if that is what you are asking.

God bless

It symbolizes that Christ washes away our sins and if we do not accept His sacrifice, we have not part in salvation. And yes, He is always there for us.

Hi Earl,

Please forgive me to reply to this but I feel to. I understand you don't believe in Hell, or eternal damnation, though I do and to me it seems it was a very important thing Christ taught. To Repent from sins/iniquity and follow Him down the straight and narrow path that leads to life eternal. As He is the way.

The Lord taught not all are going down that path. Matthew 7:13-14. Here He states not everyone is to enter into the Kingdom of Heaven Matthew 7:21. As He stated there shall be some to go away to everlasting punishment but the righteous to life eternal Matthew 25:31-46. Numerous parables of the wicked being separated from the just in the end Matthew 13:37-50.

Though if Luke 16:19-31, is a parable what it states is not hard to see. The man who suffered and begged died and was carried by angels to Abraham's bosom. The rich man who lived lavishly and did not help Lazarus died and was in Hades in torment. Even though he begged for a touch of water He did not receive it. Just being told how Lazarus who suffered was now comforted and he was now in torment. Even when he begged that a message be sent to his family that they repent so they would not end up as he did. He was told that if they hear not Moses and the prophets, they would neither be persuaded by one raising from the dead.

I also don't understand how you think the "fire" of God that tries/chastens us and our works it the same as "eternal fire, torment and punishment".

Could you please explain some of these things? As I see it very dangerous to say a place of eternal damnation does not exist.

Have you ever looked into people who have died, came back to life, and actually experienced a place that is worse than we could imagine? Usually calling it hell and has converted many people to believing in Christ. What would you say to them?

I would never think to tell anyone hell is not real. What if it is and you were wrong? Making people think it doesn't matter what they do?

Thanks God Bless.

God told the officers of the army of Israel to send home all the soldiers who had unfinished business at home: a home he has not used, a vineyard he has not harvested, or an engaged woman he has not married - let them go home.

Yes, this is referring to the miraculous crossing of the Red Sea.

What is the difference between Christendom and Christianity? How can I find more info about Christendom?

Act 16:25 And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.

Act 16:26 And suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken: and immediately all the doors were opened, and every one's bands were loosed.

Act 16:27 And the keeper of the prison awaking out of his sleep, and seeing the prison doors open, he drew out his sword, and would have killed himself, supposing that the prisoners had been fled.

Act 16:28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, saying, Do thyself no harm: for we are all here.

Proverbs 18:22 - Whoso findeth a wife finds a good thing, and obtaineth favour of the LORD.

Not every person is going to get married. It's not a law. Apostle Paul was never married...

I don't know of any passage where Jesus says a man should or should not be married. Paul was a single man and he provided this advise.

Co 7:6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

1Co 7:7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that.

1Co 7:8 I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I.

1Co 7:9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.

Sinners are the greatest of all fools, fools of their own making. I to was that fool, until I found out about Jesus Christ the King of KINGS and the lord of LORDS! We would do well to know this by never forget this Psalm. O LORD WRITE THIS ON MY HEART TODAY AND EVERY DAY. Count it all JOY! Bless the Name of Jesus all you SAINTS!

Proverbs 11:30

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life; and he that winneth souls is wise.

Need prayer:

1. Large money blessing to pay off all debts

2. New job working at home as a customer support representative for the Sykes Company

3. Healing in my eyes from cataracts and lasik in my right eye

Matthew 16:17-20

And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven.

And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.

And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

Then charged he his disciples that they should tell no man that he was Jesus the Christ.

Joe, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

If Lazarus and and the rich man is not a parable; it makes Christ's words a lie:

Matthew 13:34 ALL these things spake Jesus unto the multitude in PARABLES;and without a PARABLE SPAKE HE NOT UNTO THEM.

Luke 12:41 Then Peter said unto him, Lord, speakest this parable unto us, or even to all?

The disciples walked with Jesus three and one half years and never understood a word he said; UNTIL he took them aside and explained the PARABLES to them. Today you can't understand the PARABLES; unless CHRIST IN YOU explains them to you. Ask and you shall receive.

Ezekiel 20:47 And say to the forest of the south, Hear the word of the LORD, Thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will kindle a FIRE in thee, and it shall devour every green tree in thee, and every dry tree: the flaming FIRE shall not be quenched, and all faces from the south to the north shall be burned therein.

Ezekiel 20:42 Then said I, Ah Lord God, Doeth he not speak in PARABLES?

Luke 12:49 I am come to send FIRE on the earth; and what will I, if it be ALREADY KINDLED?

Luke 12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptised with; and how am I straightened till it be accomplished!

Matthew 3:11 ......he shall baptise you with the Holy Ghost; and with FIRE.

John 10:6 Jesus spake this parable unto them: but they UNDERSTOOD NOT what things they were which he spoke to them.

Hebrews 12:29 For our God is a consuming FIRE.

My daughter Kriestie has chronic pain whenever she walks, in her back, in her knees, and sinus problems. I have been praying for her. I am an involed and she helps me with my daily life.

Prayer is needed for Tracy who is in 7th grade and fighting for her life in Oregon.

Johnny ,hi ,strictly speaking any one who considers themselves a Christian should never ever use violence to any one else ,Jesus is our example and we are supposed to follow him and do as we know he would do in every situation . Also ,i live in england but first and foremost i am a Christian ,God is my King ,im only english because i was born here of english parents ,i actually belong to God . I am also imperfect and dont know what i would do if faced with a violent person who wanted to hurt me or some one i love . Thankfully there is forgiveness with God . I hope i never am put to the test in that way ,also you too Johnny ,keep yourself out of potentially dangerous situations and away from people who seek to provoke confrontation ,stay safe and be cool ,Jesus doesnt want you getting hurt or into trouble !

Acts 16:28, Paul shouted, saying do not hurt yourself we are all here. Because the jailer assumed he was going to be killed by the prisoners he was about to commit suicide but Paul intervened and yelled "do not hurt yourself" as the earthquake rumbled the prison releasing the prisoners free.

The term "Shepherds" Does not mean every one who was in charge of sheep. If you conceder that when Jesus said, "The sheep know my voice" We are the sheep the Shepard's are our Minister's and Pastors in Christ. Amen

Did Jesus say a man should married , in his teaching?.

Praise the Lord! I wanted to first give honor to my Lord and savior Jesus Christ because all the honor and glory belong to the Lord.

Be encouraged and let us press toward the mark Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
