The Holy Spirit

We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame, because God's love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit who has been given to us," Romans 5:3-5.

We find love in our suffering. As we endure trials, God's love is poured out into us through the Spirit and it's this empowerment that carries you and I through the hard seasons. When you are doubting this love in your difficulty, remember that the Holy Spirit pours Jesus's love into your heart.

The gospel is the Virgin birth, the sinless life of Jesus, His death on the Cross for the sins of mankind (past, present, future),

and the triumphant resurrection of Jesus from the grave.

I'm going to just mention that His ascension to heaven (to sit at the right hand of God) was witnessed and recorded in scripture.

The True Church is the Universal Church which consists of all people who have been begotten by God's Holy Spirit throughout the world regardless of race, ethnic origins, nationality, or creed.

With all your concerns, and some fears: keep repeating this scripture by speaking it out, until it takes root in your spirit.

Deuteronomy 31:6

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Isaiah 26:3

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.

Mishael

This is so powerful.We have to remember to put on the Full Armor of God everyday. The day is so much better when i start with this chapter.

The bible says that we are the salt of the earth, but if the salt has lost its savour then its good for nothing. It also states that we are to press toward the mark of a higher calling and leave the former things behind. We cant move forward if we keep looking back then we are bound to destruction we are bound to bump our head. I believe the Lord allowed Lot's wife to turn into a pillar of salt leaving her in past which is where she wanted to remain. Lots wife was disobedient and therefore good for nothing.

Or, simply put, bonds = chains, shackles, cuffs etc.

Bonds is another way of saying one is held in captivity i.e. bound and in jail like Paul is in the passage.

The True Church continues it's commission, without fear, to teach and be a light and example that the Gospel message is true. The gates of hell will not prevail against her. Stay in the Body, be faithful until the end.

Dear God, I am asking for favor financially, which I quickly need. My problems with money are never-ending. If it's not one thing, then it is another problem. Please, assist me and then assist all of us who are struggling financially with too much debt and an abundance of bills to pay. All of us are struggling just to get by, but still, are not making enough. We look to You for our Help.

I pray Lord you will send forth an angel to hasten the checks that are due to me, so I may prove my willingness to glorify You with a reputation for paying bills on time.

I place my faith in You and no other. Help me to be at peace in the mean time. Your Word says, I will keep in perfect peace whose mind has stayed on Me.

Thank you, God, for your blessing on us. Amen.

Pray this till your breakthrough arrives. Pray in Ephesians 6, against invisible enemies that seek to hinder our faith in Gods promises. Your friend, Mishael

Genesis 8:21

"And the LORD smelled a sweet savour; and the LORD said in his heart, I will not again curse the ground any more for man's sake; for the imagination of man's heart is evil from his youth; neither will I again smite any more every thing living, as I have done."

King James Version (KJV)

John 3:3

"Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God."

You can google some commentaries on this. My 2 minute take: whores are unstable; stay a away from people who devalue things that God meant to be good and within the bond of marriage.

Who is the True Church that will be Raptured before the Tribulation?

The West will be attacked by the east; the sign of the times have changed dramatically. Don't know when it will happen, however, it's coming. The end of times as we know it. Let's continue to pray and ask God for guidance. If God would have dealt with us according to our individual sin; no one would be left. Comment on I Isaiah cheaper 40.

For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believes on him shall not perish but have everlasting life. For God sent not his son into the world to condemn the world ,but that the world through him might be saved.

a deep ditch you will will not get out of , a narrow pit you may have yet a chance.

Thank you for your questions, M. Fridy; I hope the answers you get here & other comments elsewhere are helpful to you in your understanding of God's Holy Word.

To answer your next question: it was James, in his epistle chapter 1 verse 22, who wrote "But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves."

As you read the Scriptures, this truth is threaded throughout the teachings of Jesus Christ & His apostles, and of course, today every message given to the people must also have a challenge to believers to not just listen & accept the Word given, but to also perform it in their lives & for others. But there were many in those days, as now, who delighted to listen to sound words & comforted themselves in having heard God's Word preached & their belief in it. But after exiting the 'building', those words they heard earlier did not equate to acting upon them.

James gives some examples of this, but to quote two: a. Js 1:26. There will always be a few believers that have 'a loose tongue'. Their words may be harsh, arrogant, backbiting, quarrelsome or foul. He may know his Scriptures & have a Christian demeanour & smile, but his heart is hard & unresponsive to the Holy Spirit. The apostle Paul said, "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt..." ( Col 4:6).

b. Js 1:27. In those days, as now, there were many suffering great hardships & particularly widows & orphans, who were not given care, as they might receive these days. There was no one to help them. Some believers then might have also ignored these vulnerable people preferring to spend more time in discussing biblical doctrines & issues. James says that the Gospel of Love requires them to go out & minister to these needy ones & show them Christ's love in action rather than be smug in their homes & fellowships discussing God's Love & other issues. Both are important, but Action, rather than Words in the ear, are far more important which God requires of us.

I hear you all talking about somethings that we may never see or hear! John the baptist may have never saw the ax that took his head off!U may not see the heart attack that will take you, or even the stroke. We must depend on the mercies of God. Wisdom comes from believing in His word and only His word. The book of revelation is a book of prophecy that applies to all generations. Our mission is to teach and witness his word that others may come to the truth. That Christ kingdom will grow and become strong in the things that pertain too heaven and earth, even the universe. Your witness will Draw all nations unto him!Remember that you are a chosen generation a royal priesthood! It will take more than a mask to disguise his word!

Healing from affliction and sickness in my body, in Jesus name. (My stomach and possible immune system is under attack). Prayer for an increased relationship with the Lord.

''For a whore is a deep ditch; and a strange woman is a narrow pit.''

How do I interpret this?

The Lord has made me a lamb and he will lead me to still waters.

:)

Christ's references in the the new testament states like angels " in heaven". Genesis 6 & Enoch refers to fallen angels on the earth, having left their first estate. Enoch refers to them as watchers that came to earth at Mt. Hermon. The angels in heaven are submissive and follow Gods instruction, unlike those that rebelled by leaving their first estate.

Thank you for standing up & speaking the truth to people!

The Torah and the Bible have recorded Gods dealings with Abraham, Sarah; Hagar; Ishmael and Isaac.

In the King James Version of the Bible: chapters 16-21 are recorded the covenants and the blessings on Abraham's seed: Isaac and Ishmael.

Ishmael: see Genesis 17:18-26, 17:24-26

Genesis 16:11-16, Genesis 21:12-18

The Covenant of the Land of Canaan (Israel)

Genesis 17:7-8

God never meant for history to have experienced all the wars fought in the Middle East. He made Covenants with both of Abraham's sons. Through Ishmael was gained wealth, lands, commerce with powerful princes and kings descended through Abraham.

God had already decided to bless the son born between Abraham and Sarah, even before Ishmael was born. In Gods permissive will, He allowed it; and later gave a covenant inheritance to Ishmael.

Gods Perfect Will was continued through Isaac and his descendants.

He's God. We don't get to tell Him how to bless his people. The Bible says of God: I change NOT.

God chose every human being that was directly involved in producing THE MESSIAH, that would save all mankind that would receive Him.

This is all going to bring everyone on earth, to the Book of Revelation. I know, not everyone accepts it, but it's still there like a gigantic signpost at the end of this road we're all on. It's not going away. Even if we burn all the books and launch all the nukes; it will still be there. That is not me talking; it is the words of the Bible; carried and protected, throughout history. Also known as the Dead Sea scrolls.

Jesus was, and is the Messiah. He wants all sons and daughters of Abraham's seed to trust their mortal and eternal lives with the promised Messiah. All must have their names recorded in his Book of Life. (Read Revelation)

Question

Who urged us to be doers of the word, not only hearers?

and why?

Their soul & spirits are with God now. Of the dead in Christ. Their bodies will be reunited, first; when they are Caught Up to Jesus in the clouds ("rapture").

Then those believers who are alive will be Caught Up, next. It will all happen in the blink of an eye.

You just blinked :) I did too.

Many huge earthquakes on the Pacific coast of Chile today. One near Antarctica too.

Prayers for them hackerd

Thank you for your encouragement. It means so much to have the body of Christ pulling for each other. You never know when someone needs a kind word.

Jesus tells us that we are asleep, when we die. he will come and resurrect us. So , why do people believe that their loved ones are in heaven, when they are asleep? You cant be in Heaven ,if he is coming to resurrect us..

Revelation 13 has your answer.
