I would like to share that I believe that this is one of the most misused scriptures in the Bible. We as believers in Jesus Christ are under the New Covenant of Grace and not the Old Covenant according to the Law of Moses.

Malachi was an Old Testament prophet and the Lord used him to speak to the Israelites, not to the Gentiles. The Israelites were not honoring the Covenant of God. The storehouse was the place I believe in the Temple of God, where the people were supposed to bring the tithes and offerings (their produce or food) to support the Levites, who were given the office of the Levitical Priesthood.

I suggest that you study the book of Leviticus, where God commanded the tithe. The tithe was instituted by God to teach the children of Israel to put God first.

It is a principle that we follow as New Testament believers to honor the Lord by our love and devotion to Him, not out of fear of being cursed. Proverbs 3:9

The New Testament tells us that Jesus became a curse for us: "Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one who hangeth on a tree." Galatians 3:13

I encourage you to develop a personal relationship with the Holy Spirit who is our Teacher and the One who has been sent to lead us and guide us into all truth.

Is it possible that you have purchased an unreliable automobile, and not that you are under a curse because of how your car runs? I pray that you will receive deliverance from hearing the truth. Jesus said "you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." John 8:32

Strength and humility

My husband moved out of our home 8 weeks ago. He is now saying he wants a divorce. Please pray that God will move in a mighty way in his heart and mind. Pray that he realizes that he is loved and that our marriage is sacred. Pray that he will remember the good times in our marriage and the vows we made before God. Please pray that anger and bitterness are removed from his heart and mind and are replaced with grace and forgiveness. Pray that he will understand the devastating effects this separation is causing us and our children. Please pray that God gives me strength to stand strong and for my marriage. Pray that satans hands are bound and he is cast away from me, my husband, and our children. Please pray that his fiery darts are deflected and extinguished by the armor of God. Amen and Thank you!

Stay with me God admonished both Eve and Satan in the Garden about what they had done, Then Adam knew his wife I believe that's when God greatly multiply thy sorrow and tho conception

The church are believers not people that gather in a building.

You want your prayers answered. I heard a sermon by William Branham, he qouted Jesus words, it is written. Jesus didn't act outside of God's word for Satan and he won't do it for us either. I saw that clearly today. I heard before to stand on God's word to pray according to God's word. Listen to FF Bosworth Christ the healer, he explains. It is written the just shall live by faith not reasoning or feeling or seeing or touching etc. Faith without works is dead.

What is the storehouse in the book of malachi the bible talks about? And how do I get out of a curse concerning having a good running vehicle??

Hi Lionjudah,

Thank you for the scriptures. I only really go to church because I don't know any other Christians out of church, and I still need to be baptised. I feel like I need to have some time away from church, and just spend more time reading my bible and praying, but then my pastor reminds me about ( Hebrews 10:25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.) I really don't know what to do for the best. I keep asking myself why I keep going back because I know that God hates discord among the brethren, and I feel like I'm causing discord by questioning some of their doctrine. A few weeks ago after the service, I said to one of the women there that I didn't think that it was a good idea for them all to put the pastors on pedestals, and that I thought that the bible study should be in a group when we read passages from the bible and then we discuss them like we did at my old church, but at this church we just listen to one of the pastors preach and then tell us his opinion and expected just to except it without questioning it. As you can imagine, this didn't go down to well and everyone just looked at me. I just turned to them and said look at everyone earwigging and then everyone cleared the room and the younger pastor said that them kind of bible studies cause error and discord and that's why they do it that way. I'm not convinced though. Me and one of the other women that started a few weeks ago have decided we should look for another church once the Covid 19 pandemic settles down and the other churches open again.

This means a spiritual or metaphorical father, not a birth or literal father. What's interesting is in the same verse in John 8:44 if you notice at the end satan is also called the 'father of lies'. So, does that mean he literally gives birth to them and a lie baby comes out? Nope, it's a metaphor. Just like when Jesus said to eat his flesh and blood he didn't mean to literally engage in cannibalism.

Asking for prayers for a friend Jose, in the Dominican Republic. He is forced to get a job in another city due to loss of job because of Covid. He is our right hand person there, we have a non profit organization, and he helps with the distribution of food and medical supplies. We are asking for a miracle so he is able to get a great job and stay in the city of Moca. Thank you

Ephesus and Sardis

I watched my mother die for 5 years and maybe God did that to scare me out of being an undesirable, adulterous, disrespectful, drunken derelectic idiot. I personally don't believe he needed to do that to keep me straight, but I did have the resources then to become a wild and crazy playboy debaucherer. I married a very poor lady with three small boys and helped her raise them they are now very fine men. WE are still married and we love each other very much. So maybe there was a method to GOD's seemingly evil way that he treated my mother. It WORKED !!

what does "poor in spirit" mean? if you are poor why are you blessed.? this beautitide is confusing why would I want to be b poor? and why do poor people want more and we want to give them more. and then they will not be blessed?

Judges 1:19 And the LORD was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. Could also read: And the LORD was with Judah; and Judah drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron. It was Judah who could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley because they lacked faith.

My comments about was Jesus truly God the son,There are many scriptures that MENTION that Jesus was truly God the son as Hebrews 1 Unto the SON he says thy THRONE O GOD IS FOREVER and Ever. It was God Almighty that made this law that everything has to multiply after its Kind . But we see that Jesus ii able to reproduce after the God kind ( Spirits ). Thats y he is saying that which is born of the spirit is spirit which is the H.G. that is gonna be born in humanity the very multiplication of God, To whom the word came his Seed the living word it made them Gods thus he is able to reproduce God in humanity, He is able to propagate very GOD IN HUMANITY THE WORLD 27 TIMES the prophets saw the world in travail and birth pains all b/c of his seed the word the contents of the book in the fathers right hand. Jesus does not reproduce after flesh & blood , his seed is the living word thus he reproduces after the GOD KIND, THE H.G THE GRANSON THE BEGINNING OF AN ISREAL OF GOD, Christ was just his 1st born of many brethren, Thats y the sower will go forth to sow his precious seed in humanity that a baby Christ wd be born in US sinners The H.G. thats y the new birth is so important, its the beginning of an Israel of God. John baptised you with water but i will baptise you with the H.G and fire a heavenly birth by his seed the WORD. His seed results in a birth, a Child which is the H.G.THAT WHICH IS BORN OF THE SPIRIT IS SPIRIT THATS THE H.G. B/C I HAVE SPOKEN THESE WORDS/SEEDS SORROWS HAVE FILLED YOUR HEARTS A SPRITUAL PREGNANCY, THEN HE TELLS THEM OF A WOMAN IN TRAVAIL N BIRTH PAINS,Which answers to the woman in Rev. 12, her CHILD IS A KINGDOM CHILD,Her Child fulfills the prophecy that Christ wd be multiplied as the stars of heaven, Thats y Isaiah is saying when he saw the Kingdom coming unto US a child is born unto US a son is given, AS Jesus said unless you receive the Kingdom as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in,Her Child is the Granson th H.G. TH PROMISE CHILD.

1- Are these the same people from Revelation 7:15-17

2- And, are these people only Jews? Or both Jews and gentiles?

In the Bible there are lots of things that show that abortion is wrong and shouldn't be done for one the Bible teaches that all life is valuable and shouldn't be taken from someone. It also shows that all life is precious all you have to do is look anywhere in the Bible and see these principles taught.

On Angels not being able to father children what about the fallen angels that followed satan,they left Heaven and found the daughters fair and took them that they wanted that is why there were geber "gaints" that is what the Noah flood was about

By suggesting God can be multiplied you violate the holiness of God.Scripture always affirms he is unique, whereas, the pride of Satan to declare himself as god, has defiled the creation, and not supplanted God. I know where you learned your erroneous lie.

In reply to Satan not being cains father it is possible for a women to have twins by two different fathers. Where it says she continued in labor let's you know that they were twins

Its very true that God choses his on,and he knows the hearts of men

please keep me in your prayers

Beautiful just peaceful the only chapter we need to lead the lost souls.

Hi Lionjudah,

Thank you so much for your testimony and your words of encouragement.

God bless you and your family

why is eunoch now eunuch, are you aware of all the changes to words and scriptures that are taking place almost daily now?

That's a huge, open-ended question - you will get as many different answers, I would think.

I think that pastors/elders generally refrain from preaching on topics that are controversial (i.e. where there may be a divided opinion amongst the congregation over an issue). These matters may pop up during the course of a sermon, but I've not heard any clear, focused message on matters such as consumption of alcohol, homosexuality, divorce & re-marriage, God's requirements of governments, Law & Grace, Capital Punishment, dress standards, etc.

I know in more 'closed' congregations, these subjects are well understood, as the 'leader' over the congregations will have given directions for the people's understanding & acceptance of the Church's position on the matters, but in 'open' congregations, such subjects may be seen as divisive or even unworthy to bring up as a sermon, presuming that they would be of little spiritual exhortation.

Yes. Rom 11:12-14: "Now if the fall of them (Israel) be the riches of the world, and the diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles; how much more their fulness? For I speak to you Gentiles, inasmuch as I am the apostle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office: If by any means I may provoke to emulation them which are my flesh (Israel), and might save some of them."

His primary ministry was to the Gentiles, but that didn't stop Paul for taking opportunities to minister to his own people, the Jews. Also read Acts chapter 13 for an example of his ministry to the Jews also.
