Please check back in an hour or more. Thank you for your patience!
Thank You Jesus.
I see him moving in my family. Doing what only He can do.
I have a friend who needs prayer. He committed some serious crimes and is very broken over it. He wants to know if he can be forgiven. Please pray for him that The Holy Spirit would move in his life and that he would be truly changed and transformed.
Thank you. God bless all that read this. May the Lord move in each of your lives in a special and miraculous way. And transform each of us into the likeness of His holiness. I plead the blood of Jesus over you. In Jesus name....that is my prayer for us all.
Amen.
Jesus you are worthy! Of all of the honor, the praise,and the glory!
I have noticed about the same request, several times thus far. You have the prayers requested, but if possible narrow the area of this request. Not to meddle but to speak directly to the request in Jesus name.
When our Lord had those in need, He asked simply " what do you want me to do for you"? Jesus knew what the need is, why did He ask. My thoughts speaking directly to the need.
FATHER in heaven you are Holy, Righteous, full of mercy. Your Word does say, you FATHER in heaven know our needs before we speak, while speaking, and after we have spoken, we thank you for such love toward us. Our brother has requested we agree as touching anything that it will be done of You. Therefore we agree as one that conditions and concerns are taken care of and guarded, covered, and met according to you Word.
In Jesus name amen.
Prayer request for my wife...
She's getting disturbed by unclean spirits while in prayers. Please pray for deliverance and family protection.
God bless!
May You fill them with the Holy Spirit who brings the wisdom needed. Fill it with power and strength to face the day and the challenges Lord Jesus. Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you and your house will be saved. Hallelujah Amen. Thank you that the Lord allows you to now see opportunities in all areas. We ask for miracles and signs Lord so that "Taris daniel" understand that You are with us/them every day, You are there for a reason that may be difficult to understand/see now. The Lord is with you every day, not just among sometime. All days. What did He say to Joshua 1:5 Johua was given a big task. And he completed it. Stand on God's word and what He has given you. Amen.
hint: Look around and think a bit like this: Stay a while and see if there is any place that might not be quite normal or put one question mark outside the "box". He will help in a wonderful way. Jesus is with you. The Lord is with you, you shall lack nothing. You are not forgotten. Hallelujah Amen, God will reward one who goes out on the Word. Genesis 15:6-7. We pray in Jesus Christ's Holy Name, Amen. May God Himself bless you in Spirit, Soul and body. Love u in Christ. James 1:21-27
Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You in the name of Jesus asking that you will help Ms. Y and I be delivered from insomnia. Help us to fall asleep quickly and stay asleep longer through the night. Give us restful sleep and pleasant dreams. Refresh us through the night and give us good days that follow a good night's sleep. Amen
I will share my view.
In Luke 1:16-17 an Angel tells Johns father, "Zacharias". That he would have a son And many of the children of Israel shall he turn to the Lord their God.
And he shall go before him in the spirit and power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just; to make ready a people prepared for the Lord.
John the baptist had a great crowd and devout followers and he preached the coming of their expected Messiah and King.
The pressing multitudes that had followed John continued to follow Jesus' ( Luke 5:15, Luke 12:1).
In the context of this chapter we have Jesus authenticating John's ministry.
SO THAT BRINGS US TO THE TEXT.
Mathew 11:12.
And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force.
Let's look at the word violence in this text.
Greek:
Transliteration: biaz
Pronunciation: bee-ad'-zo
Definition: From G970; to force that is (reflexively) to crowd oneself (into) or (passively) TO BE SEIZED: - PRESS SUFFER VIOLENCE
The pressing multitudes that had followed John continued to follow Jesus' ( Luke 5:15, Luke 12:1).
This is what Jesus is saying "The kingdom of God suffers violence." Pointing to the huge crowds that followed John and that were now following Him, Jesus likens them to an invading army surrounding a city to capture it.
Look at Luke's account.
Luke 16:16.
The law and the prophets were until John: since that time the kingdom of God is preached, and every man presseth into it.
( From the days of John the Baptist until now," there has been an extraordinary rush of people pressing in from all sides eager to hear the gospel that they resembled an army trying to besiege a city.)
Matthew 11:14 he says;
"And if ye will receive it, this is Elias, which was for to come."
I hope this helps.
God bless.
I'm sorry but I didn't read the original post. And only the first sentence of this reply. "Hello S Spencer Do you see how all the scriptures in this post are connected together?"
That's the honest truth!! That's all I'm reading.
The only lengthy topic I'm willing to engage in is SALVATION.
I will engage with one asking questions on eschatology but not stay there when there is a far more important issue at hand.
Jesus commissioned us to take the Gospel to the world!!
Eschatology tells us who and when he's gathering those he purchased.
If I refuse to preach the Gospel and prefer to discuss eschatology that's like trying to aboard a plane with out a purchased ticket.
One can take your view or mine but yet refuse the one who shed his blood on the cross, all our teaching eschatology is in vain.
But if one accepts the Gospel through our preaching the cross it doesn't matter what eschatology view he holds.
He's on the plane with ticket in hand waiting on takeoff.
God bless.
Genesis 27:8-10
"And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a calf tender and good, and gave it unto a young man; and he hasted to dress it. And he took butter, and milk, and the calf which he had dressed, and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat."
Genesis 18:7-8
These are just two examples. If you think God didn't intend for us to do this, then were Abraham and Rachel doing something wrong?!
