Ok I need you God to move powerfully and cause massive amounts, supernatural amounts of donations for the residents especially healthy food to be brought to the stepping stone shelter in liberal kansas immediately and abundantly by everyone locally and abroad because the residents of the shelter are in severe need so God please cause by every means available donations to be brought to the shelter these holiday seasons so we have plenty here because we are in desperate need after nearly a year of a pandemic and we desperately need supplies, money and REALLY healthy food plus snacks because we are the most needy so bless people donating from their groceries and grocery money and every kind of giving this year especially monetary/gifts and gift cards to us especially the residents here because we have almost nothing and there is not enough and even just a little bit could change our situation in so I'm praying for A LOT to start coming now until the pandemic is over in Jesus name AMEN

I am asking for help I read more that 40 years Ezekiel lay on a bed of nails I think old version can anyone help me to find it ?

Please pray for me. Please pray for me because I lost my grandfather last month, whom my aunt was very close to because it was her and my moms dad, please pray for me because we had a sleepover with my aunt and her dog for two nights in a row and I miss them both SO much now! My grandma will be going over to be with her again for just seven more nights, and seven more nights seems like 1 year to me right now. Please pray that my grandmas work will make her go back to full time and not part time because she needs the money to do things!!! At this point, she will be working Wednesdays to Sundays right now, and I can't just can't have her working those days!!!! She would be off on days that I would be working! This will be a difficult Christmas this year because of all that is going on. I literally laid in bed last night and just cried over my grandfathers death, missing my aunt and her dog, this being a difficult Christmas, and my grandma going to part time. A good night sleep really helped, but all of this is on my mind and I am feeling it in my heart. Please pray for me today and everyday.

Thank you

Hana

I was thinking about this just before I

Read your response ,

The modern age of science is contrary often to faith , yet has no answers to the big issues unless you believe a theory .

It's says that many will say where is the promise of his coming and turn away from truth .seems all religions will pave the way for Antichrist and not be able to resist his outrageous claims . Also the Antichrist will exalt himself above all that is called God and not find much resistance enough to over throw him , but the Lord will do that himself ! :)

what does it mean to ''suffer with out the gate''? And are there other references to a gate that are the same etymology as in this verse?

A Bible verse to counter the arrogance of man.

please keep me in your prayer's today thank you and GOD bless you

Michael, You err. God, the Creator is not a substance, not sub anything, but rather, all material things are made by him. In the beginning was the Word. God expresses himself in love at every instance, and instances exist only because he does. If you truly believe what you say, your god is too small.

I believe you're correct in saying, "it (falling away) seems to be accelerating". As we move closer to the end of days & of the revelation of the Anti-Christ, what always inflicted the Church in its beginnings will continue & become more evident & rampant towards the end. There is much syncretism going on at present, with religions trying their utmost to find common ground & common faith, even to the disregarding of vital & precious doctrines, & diluting the power of the Cross.

So I believe that 'falling away' is not just an individual matter about a person turning aside from Christ, that it is, rather that the Church (if indeed they ever held onto the Truth), has wilfully lost its focus & beliefs for the cause of being accepted by all & to have peace & unity with all religions & peoples. Jesus said, "Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword." ( Matthew 10:34). If that were to happen within one's household as Jesus said, how much more shall the sword of Truth be wielded upon those who despise the Truth & make the Cross of no effect & a lie. The Gospel will always cut to the heart & expose wickedness. If it were ever to be used to join all men together in harmony, then it would have been given out in error & in the end, both the 'preacher of this nonsense' & the hearer of those 'gracious words', will both be damned.

Revelation 1:18: "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death."

To hold the keys to something indicates one's power & authority over it. As an important person may be given the keys to a city, or one has the keys to the home or car, demonstrates the authority, responsibility & trust that is also goes with it.

Of Jesus Who said that He had the "keys of hell & death", likewise shows that he has the authority to lock away for eternity in hell those who are the enemies of the Almighty, as much as he has also given all those who have come to Him in faith for salvation, victory over the sting of death & the grave ( 1 Corinthians 15:55). As Christ was victor over sin & death, all who have put their trust in Him will also enjoy His Power to live for Him on Earth & be raised in victory over death.

By letting them see the Christ in you

Means he died.

We often think of approaching people based on who they are or how they act and treating them accordingly. What is important to remember is to treat people based on who WE are. We, as Christians, must treat other people with kindness and love always! That doesn't mean we can't be stern when needed. We treat others as we would want to be treated. Sometimes that requires us to give a lot of grace to others. But this is exactly what Jesus does for us!

To respect someone does not mean agreeing with them or their choices but rather to not scorn them or judge them for who they are or the mistakes they make. Show respect through compassion. Many believe they are Christian because they simply believe in Jesus. Others because they follow God's commandments and live for Him. There may be variations in exactly what a Christian is. But what I challenge you to do is to approach these people as the loving and patient Christian that you are. With love, respect and kindness. Never fight fire with fire. Love, conquers all. Never forget to pray for others..

May God guide you and provide His blessings upon you and your family!

I'm asking God to help me lm praying for inspiration,motivation,and determination to guide and direct my path in his direction I'm also pray for my family my wife monique Williams my son reginald Williams Jr my son malik robinson and his wife and three kids my church EWC my pastor Tracy Thomas and her husband to give her direction and confirmation also our nation to trusts in God pray my auntie, uncle, and family in my name of Jesus

No only daughters of man....

Jesus did descend into hades to get His property of the condemned souls that belongs to Him now...Because of His conquering and His defeat over death.

First of all what do you mean by when He gave up the ghost?

I am just so depressed lately and I don't have friends and I just need prayers please. I have children.

The keys to hell and death.

With your explanation it would tend me to believe this falling away happened over a very long period of time , perversion of the truth . I can see that happening . So then there would be virtually no true Christians left , with the exception of a few , as in Noah's time only 8 people and that was just 1 family actually was faithful in Gods eyes . Noah found grace .

Or the falling away could be a dramatic event or series of them in a short time to cause a notable falling away . One thing that seems obvious to me is it seems to be accelerating , but also many are noticing it as well . i personally think the Antichrist and his arrival are not all that soon , but I can see things developing, I read in Daniel that when sin reaches its full then he appears , so the falling away will be very much complete. We have lots to be thankful for still .

God is faithful to all generations.

'Apostolic' means pertaining to or characteristic of an apostle. So, if you're thinking of an 'apostolic succession', that term is generally used by Roman Catholics to show that the papacy is founded on the apostles. I don't support this implication though. Or, you have the 'apostolic Church', which presumably tries to follow all the teaching & traditions set down by the apostles, including the manifestation of all the spiritual Gifts.

Most Christian Bookstores should have several versions, including the Apocryphal Books, within them. If you search online, you can see their range & prices & the closest one to you & maybe call prior to visiting them. Where I am, I use Koorong Bookshops, which is generally well stocked with a variety of Bibles & Bible helps. Be aware of the old English used in the 1611 edition of the KJV as opposed to the Standard KJV Bible, which we use now.

And of course, you have right here on this Site, the KJV Bible plus Apocrypha additions to it, to view online.
