"People are given freewill." Really? Free of what? Anyone claiming we have a free will is saying we are free of sin and not dead in trespasses and sin, before being saved, so who needs Christ?

I am single living alone in my own house. I am facing bad situations with neighbouring people

and they are jealous of my property, trying to harm me each time and have to expect something

bad for the day. I have decided to sell my house and property last year. I need your prayers for

the sale of my house without any disturbance from my neighbours for the desired price, so that I can buy new premises, with peaceful environment. Thank you for your prayers in Jesus name. Amen.

Please Pray for me

Answers in the Bible

In this chapter we see Amos bringing the Word of God but the people had no appetite for it because of their apathy. In making application we see that we have the Word of God in our hands today,the Bible, yet we look for answers everywhere else except in its pages which contain all the answers to our lives. How about you? Do you see the Word of God for the answers in your life. Let us learn from our text today and the direction of Amos to see that the Bible holds all the answers to the questions we have in how to live our lives.

Obey Your Calling

In this chapter we see the visions of judgement the Lord gave Amos. What catches my eye is how Amos obeyed God's call to prophesy unto the people of Israel even though he did not have the education or training to accomplish the task, he simply obeyed the Lord. In making application we see a call to obedience. By Faith we are do what the Lord instructs us in His Power through the Holy Spirit. How about you? Do you allow your feeling of inadequacy keep you from obeying the Lord? Let us learn from our text today and life of Amos who followed the Lord even when he felt inadequate simply because he followed his calling by simple obedience.

MATE!! - I specifically ask you to be patient, and I would try to answer all your questions - You need to re read MY first email and see what I said

I to have things to attend to in life, Just like you - I don't sit in front of my PC 24/7

Also if you make your questions shorter and clearer I can understand you better

Small Ape people in Australia? Never heard of them - But if there were, they go back to the days of the Nephelim. I suggest you research the cover up of history - Giants and the fallen angels and the sons of God having their way with the daughters of men Genetic manipulation and hybrid beings (Not human) and hybrid animals part human part animal Gen 6 is a good place to start.That is why God destroyed all living things with the flood - except those on the ark

A big subject - Too long for emails.

I suggest you check out research by Steve Quale, Timothy Alberino and Tom Horne Bless you Mate

Reading it and believing it is exactly what I am doing!!

Thank you so much - And blessings to you.

You are one of the few clear thinkers - And willing to think about what is being said in scripture - And don't get all upset when faced alternate points of view - I am definitely all for truth, and blindly follow the religions of men

God bless to you and your family

The whore that sits on many WATERS

Revelation 17:15 And he saith unto me, The WATERS waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. ( are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.)

...... Revelation 18:24 - And in her (Babylon) was found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all that were slain upon the earth.

babylon was responsible for the BLOOD of PROPHETS, keep this in mind.

Revelation 16:6 - For they have shed the blood of saints and prophets, and thou hast given them blood to drink; for they are worthy.

Revelation 17:6 - And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

Mystery Babylon killed the prophets

Jesus speaking Luke 13:33 - Nevertheless I must walk to day, and to morrow, and the day following: for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem.

for it cannot be that a prophet perish out of Jerusalem. I do not see Rome here since when did the Lord send prophets to Rome?

Jesus - Matthew 23:37 - O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.

the two witnesses of God who confront the false prophet are mentioned here:

Revelation 11:8 - And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.

Jesus, MY LORD was crucified in JERUSALEM, which is spiritually called Sodom and Egypt.

NOT in Rome nor in Mecca nor in the USA

Greetings Chris, I never meant to imply you suggested David was a mere boy. However the numerous pictures allegedly depicting David facing Goliath imply this all the time in what I have seen. I was not trying to "correct" you in any way. It was just a general comment to everyone when they see that type of image in their Bible. Thanks

Greetings and God bless - For the past forty years Christ has been my ROCK!

I have read in the bible that God will bless them that bless Israel and curse them who curse Israel.

What is a great dearth. Acts 11

What is a great dearest

The Bible says to ask that you may receive.

Call 1 800 700 7000 to see if they can help with what you need.

The way to financial peace is to Tithe what you can, to your church. If you CAN trust God with your money, He will help you. Its a way to build mutual trust. He says to give it cheerfully and not with tears.

I know it sounds crazy, but it works. Build your trust on Gods Bible. If you don't have one: Goodwill has them, cheap.

I know you are scared; just lean on Jesus to save you. This may not work if you haven't yet made Him the Savior and Lord of your whole life? Be straight with Him. He knows everything about us already.

Greetings in the name of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

My spouse and I got married while I was not saved. I gave my heart to Jesus very early in the marriage. My spouse remained unsaved for the 14 years of our marriage. He has abused me in every way, except physically. As a result, I suffered a Major Depressive Disorder. I felt defeated and couldn't understand why God allowed him to get away with this. How come I was serving God and the satan's servant was deceiving me.

My narcissistic spouse decided that he should lie to law enforcement and the court of law, that I was abusing him. He brought two detectives into our home and had me arrested. I received an order of protection. I was more afraid for our children that was left in the home with him. I have now come to accept that God rescued me from the marriage. It is confusing that I will not be allowed to remarry while he is alive. I am content to live my life for the Lord for the rest of my life. I do find it unfair.

A year and a half after the incident, he filed for a divorce. This did not make me sad. God kept my hands clean. I honored my marriage vows. I am still struggling. We are still in divorce court and my husband still tries to hurt me. He wants us out of the marital home. No mercy to our children to allow them to live there.

God is awesome! This trial taught me how to pray with the Word. It introduced me to the power of Psalms. Opened my awareness of dreams. I have been getting dreams maybe as warnings what my spouse was doing behind my back. All Glory to God.

I learned (as a new Christian) in the college of full bore head on crashes. It didn't get better till I turned off the tv (all noise) and read some chapters all the way through.

It's like a checking account with $2.00 in it. Can't do anything with it :/

Start in Proverbs. Lot of wisdom there. Move into Ecclesiastes; Romans, 1+2+3 John in the back of the Bible (where you learn how to be forgiven for daily mess ups.

The Bible is a guide for daily living. It's sorta like the tv remote control: it takes you to where you want to go. Skin deep or ocean deep.

When you understand who God really is,

You'll want to find out more about him. As a Christian, you have the Holy Spirit as your Teacher. Ask Him to teach you about Jesus. His favorite subject. Always build time in your day to spend an hour with Him.

Our minds are carnally geared (flesh pleasing). Your only defense is knowledge and a rock hard WILL to go forward with Jesus!

Don't wait for someone else to build your faith like LEGOs. You do it: scripture by scripture.

I would say "I forgive you" and leave. Don't call. Don't go back.

Talk this over with God, every day, until you feel His peace.

A person that says something like that usually wants space, time, no contact. We sometimes feel desperate to get back what we had.

If God allows a door to close; accept it.

You are being given time to set your house in order. Do some googling on relationship problems. It never hurts to hit the books.

Be sure to dig through the Bible too. Read the Book of Ruth; book of Job; Proverbs has MUCH wisdom for relationship snags.

My Grandmother was my go to person for relationship problems. She had a lot of wisdom I could relate too. She knew me, wall to wall. I knew she prayed for me and I loved her for that. She's the first person I'd like to visit in heaven. :)

You may be experiencing spiritual warfare.

Take a walk through your home with the Holy Spirit and ask Him to help you get rid of anything that could be an idol. Why?

Demons hang around and inhabit the objects.

Read Acts 19:19

It might help to watch some Spiritual Warfare videos on YouTube. You'll be much better informed when you sense trouble nearby. It helps you pray for your kids and family.

Forgiveness is taking your hands off the necks of those who hurt you.

Wholesale forgive. It will release you: and release them, so God will work on their lives.

I know it's NOT pleasant; but being obedient has huge advantages.

Not many churches teach on this. Take notes on the teachings and find them in your Bible. In time you'll be able to help others get free too.

Re-dedicate your life to Jesus. Go to 1 John chapter 1 verse 9, as often as you need to. In fact read the whole book. I do because I need to hear it often.

To have faith means to agree with God/Will of "I AM". How can we agree with God/Will of "I AM" if we have not heard His will?

Highlight these scriptures. Use every day.

Psalm 41:3

The LORD will strengthen him on his bed of illness; You will sustain him on his sickbed.

Proverbs 3:7-8

Do not be wise in your own eyes; Fear the LORD and depart from evil. It will be health to your flesh, And strength to your bones.

Exodus 23:25

So you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you.

Psalm 91:15-16

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him and honor him. With long life I will satisfy him, And show him My salvation.

Psalm 30:2

O LORD my God, I cried out to You, And You healed me.

Psalm 107:19-20

Then they cried out to the LORD in their trouble, And He saved them out of their distresses. He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.

Psalm 73:4-5

They have no struggles; their bodies are healthy and strong. They are free from the burdens common to man; they are not plagued by human ills.

Psalm 107:20

He sent forth his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave.

Psalm 147:3

He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

Isaiah 38:16

O Lord, by these things men live; And in all these things is the life of my spirit; So You will restore me and make me live.

Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security.

Psalm 34:19

Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.

Psalm 55:18

He hath delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many with me.

Psalm 42:11

Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

I believe that, yes! God does hear even the prayers of sinners. He knows when someone is seeking His help. He knows when we ask wisdom, direction, strength, when we cry, etc. I believe God hears and is aware of every idle or wrong word also. God knows our hearts, minds, intents, and situations. There is nowhere God does not see and understand. However, I also believe that He wants a special relationship with His created beings - one that brings us into a close and intimate fellowship with Him where He not only hears us, but actually communicates with us through His Spirit. This is only a result of us being "born again" or born into the Spirit through His Holy Son Jesus. Jesus died for you and for all of us in order to bring us in to that kind of relationship with the Father. By this we are adopted as sons as Jesus is God's Son. John 17: 13-24. I pray that the Heavenly Father attends to your prayers, dear one. As you place your life and trust in His all knowing loving and healing hands may He make you one of His own dear children by Christ Jesus.

Please pray for me. I struggle a lot with being single. Please pray that Jesus Christ will help me find a wife. I need God's mercy and help with finding the lady who the Lord wants to be my wife and helpmeet. Please pray that Jesus Christ will show me mercy and let me get married. I truly desire a marriage blessed by God. Proverbs 18:22 says that he who finds a wife finds a good time. Thank you so much for your time and prayers. May God bless you all.

I think I like Australians very much :)

That information didn't come from me, I had a question about that at sent it in to Charles Stanley and that was his reply. Just didn't want to take credit for something that I didn't write. God bless you.

Thank you so much for your insight on this verse.

For me, it depends upon your intent. If you go there to preach and deliver the words of God, maybe its just okay but you may put yourself to risk to temptations but if you are just there to drink and enjoy the things that had been there, it is not good because it is not a house of God. A true follower of the Lord will not suffer himself to enjoy such worldly things.

Leslie, the Ordinance of the Lord's Supper is essentially a memorial occasion where the body of believers who meet together for worship & ministry from the Word, also physically remember the Lord's Sacrifice for them. It is a very practical, visible way to help focus our thoughts upon the Lord, when many people had many other distractions during the week. As also in the other ordinance given to the Church, Water Baptism, this was an act of signify the change in one's life, identification with Christ, & performed before witnesses who marked that one as 'now belonging to Christ'.

So, I see that both these Ordinances given to us, are meant for public performance: the Lord's Supper with believers, & Baptism before the unbelievers. One could in a sense perform them in private & be happy within oneself that the Lord is being remembered in the breaking of bread, but Scripturally speaking, this is would not be the right way to do it because of its meaning & significance.

Bob, it wasn't my intention to suggest that David was a little boy when he confronted Goliath. Clearly he was a youth. The mention of 'shepherd boy' is just a colloquial term that can be used for a child right up to a much older person who shepherds sheep. The emphasis is on the word 'shepherd'. When walking down a city street some time ago, someone called out to a guy pushing a trolley full of goods, "Hey, delivery boy". When I looked, the delivery person was in his 40s, so I understood what was meant. Anyway, thank you for pointing that out.
