Be born again (John ch 3).

Forgive everyone who has wronged you, or that you wronged.

We're supposed to examine ourselves before we take communion. Participating in communion while living in unforgiveness heaps damnation on us.

Gotta give all that stuff to Jesus and walk blameless before our Lord.

when did the church decide that the term HOLY GHOST is unacceptable and should be replaced by the term the holy spirit.

I've been told that there are books of the Bible that aren't actually in the Bible and I just would like to know exactly why. Like, I get that there's the whole 'works' and 'Christ' deal. But why aren't all of the books put into one big book anyways? I would really appreciate it if someone could answer this. If so, could you give references as to how I could obtain these other books? Please and thank you.

" This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD." Amen and Amen.

What qualifies one to take communion?

And what if you're wrong what if the mark represent a different word John saw that back in his time

Noah was faithful like few others . There are rewards

Hello and good afternoon! The LORD is your employer. Do all things as unto the LORD and not for man. Colossians 3:23. We wrestle not against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world and against spiritual wickedness in high places. Ephesians 6:12. Continue to pray for yourself before you walk into your work place. Put on the whole armor of GOD. Ephesians 6:11. Proclaim that no weapon formed against you will prosper. Isaiah 54:17. Ask the LORD to have mercy on you and to move you to another place quickly and in the meantime give you patience and endurance. I know how terrible it is to have a job where the environment is awful but the LORD is with you. Don't let your enemy steal your joy. Continue to praise the LORD for this job and thank HIM for the job HE will give you next. Psalm 34. Be encouraged! I will be praying for you!

Glenn, may the Spirit grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

Death is a judgement of God.

Romans 6:23 The wages of sin is death.......

in Genesis 1:7 can you explain what is meant by the firmament and what or rather where did the water come from? I am having difficulty understanding where the firmament is and why did the waters have to be divided?

Good question. It seems that after the earth became filled with evil people and God decided the flood would be 120 years from that point. So, it doesn't seem to be a lifespan age limit. Noah and the 7 others were on the ark and exempted from that.

So does God have powers?

Hello. I (used to) know how you feel. it's a terrible feeling to feel alone BUT that is a lie from your enemy. YOU are not alone, the LORD is with you! The WORD reads, "where can you go from HIS presence?" IF you ascend into heaven HE is there. if you make your bed in hell, HE is there. PSALM 139:7. JOHN 16:33 HE is with you!! Be encouraged my friend!!! Read the WORD out loud, faith cometh by hearing and hearing the WORD of GOD. Romans 10:17. Talk to GOD like you would talk to someone face to face. HE loves you and wants you to fulfill the plan HE has for your life!!! HE has a wonderful and beautiful plan for your life! Jeremiah 29:11!!!

You are correct my brother Chris. As we really can't make to much of it. We'll just have to stay vigilant.

Most definitely let us fervently pray day and night.

1 Timothy 6:15-16 Which in His times He shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;

Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

God Bless

Hello Stephanie,

Although fasting is seen as a good thing, as far as I know, there is no commandment given to Christians to do so. Matthew 6:16-18 gives us the correct understanding of fasting. The Jews were required to fast only once a year at the Day of Atonement. On the Day of Atonement they fast. But the Pharisees fasted twice a week, every Monday and Thursday. That's 104 times a year! But the requirement was to only fast once a year. The Pharisees wanted to show themselves as being "Super Spiritual."



Now, you touched on something that should be the goal of every believer, which is about the next step in one's spiritual walk. After salvation, the next step is to have our minds transformed. We are to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and we are to submit ourselves to His humbling process. You call it "rocks and weeds," and I like that. Here is something you should know. If you have received Jesus Christ (Been born of His Spirit), there is no "hard soil" to break up. That's already been far penetrated and broken up since you've received Him. (See Parable of the Sower).

However, once we are saved, the effects of sin in our past remain stuck in the cortex of our minds. We can't get away from that. So we have to submit ourselves to the Lord so He can mend us from our past and so that He can transform us and renew our minds.

Sorry if I'm getting off-topic. If you choose to fast, that is between you and the Lord. It should be done in secret. It doesn't necessarily mean to give up food for the day, even though food can be a distraction. But if you decide to fast, just put aside a time where it's just you and the Lord, clear your mind of all worldly distractions, and just focus on Christ and His word. It should be a one on one time with Him without distraction. But just so you know, there is no commandment given to believers to fast.

Why does this KJV call Noah "Noe" in verses 24:37 and 24:38. Can it be that 2 Timothy 3:16 is correct on correcting the scriptures of inspiration. My NKJV says his name is Noah, we all know the prophet Noah. What's up with Noe?

I need prayer for the following prayer requests: 1. need a new job working from home doing clerical work now with higher pay and better benefits, off on holidays & weekends/2. need a large money blessing to come to me now to pay off debts/3. need healing in my eyes from cataracts & lasik

God did not make death, proof by Jesus stated "before the world was", Saint John 17:3-5, proof by His resurrection-ascension into heaven, Saint Luke 24:51-53, eye witnessed, 1 Corinthians 15:6, is clear proof of the Holy source of life & everyone's salvation forevermore.

If God said that man will only live up to 120 years, why did Noah die at age 950?

Stephanie, may the Spirit grace you with HIS wisdom and His understanding.

Your question is, what must I do?

You answered your on question in the sentence preceding you question.

I HAVE LEARNED God wants to clear out the "rocks and weeds" in my life breaking up the hard soil.

GOD IS FAITHFUL IN ALL HIS WANTS. HE will do the work. Sit still and behold the salvation (WORKS) of God.

Psalms 57:2 I will cry into God most high; unto God THAT PERFORMETH ALL THINGS FOR ME.

As to fasting in God's eyes the answer is in Isaiah 58

I know that god is merciful but i didn't know that he was that merciful

Genesis 3:13

"And the LORD God said unto the woman, What is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and I did eat."

1 Peter 2:22

My favorite book to read

Good morning. And thank you for sharing God words. blessed you all. But, my comment is that. why is this reading in english only? Thank you for your understanding.

I see a lot of people twist the verse, and say we are on the same level of God? We are on the same level and can do the same things as He? Were is that part of verse? Dear brother and sister it is a ability we dont have. Only God can call things into existence. If we say its ability we have we take scripture out of context. Who wanted to be like God and what happened to him? Be blessed.

me and my family. evryones salvation. addiction free.

1 Corinthians 1:17: "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect."

The Apostle Paul was writing to the believers in Corinth, Greece, a country whose citizens thrived on & promoted eloquent flowery speech in their discourses. What Paul was reminding the believers here, was that he doesn't use such words to convey the Gospel as that would unnecessarily detract from the true worth & simplicity of it. The message of the Cross was both simple yet profound. That it's beauty lay in making a true & full declaration of its basic message and then allow the Holy Spirit to apply it in His Own way to the hearts of the hearers. So if Paul took the path of other speakers with flowery language & convincing arguments, he says that the message of the Cross would be rendered vain or ineffectual, being lost in the midst of such a delivery & of no spiritual use to his audience.

Hello,

I have been studying on the subject of fasting. It is something I have never personally participated in nor fully comprehend. In reading Matthew 13:1-23 I have learned God wants to clear out the "rocks and weeds" in my life breaking up the hard soil. So my question is how? What must I do to take this next step in my spiritual walk? Is it structured or done during a certain month? I would appreciate any feedback, guidance, or further reading to be considered before moving forward.

Sincerely,

Stephanie

Jesus is the Christ , you need to start there !

God Bless

Please keep myself and my Daughters Deanna and Jessica and there family's in your prayers
