Part 3

As promised here is my explanation. Our minds are developing through our 20s when we finally become "adults". We can thankfully be freed from ingrained sin; but there are lasting scars and weaknesses that we are vulnerable to. The enemy always falls short in his promises. There are few who gain great strides in wealth and status in this world from Satan's aid; but at best they are never totally fulfilled; and in the end there is always a price to pay. Once we begin to understand the control that Satan has over this whole world system and how we are; apart from Christ totally helpless and hellbound then we are prepared for the victory we can have through Christ when He calls and chooses us out of the world for His Name's sake. We can then give a "Word of testimony" ( Revelation 12:11). This comes to its ultimate fulfillment for the countless multitude massacred during the Great Tribulation. But it starts now; as one cannot help but share how they are set free from the bondage of sin; into the glorious kingdom of God. ( Romans 8:2).

With this background then; I will state that more specifically there are some who are able to more readily discern what is going on in the spiritual realm if they are gifted in discernment. They are called to minister in the Body as well as others with different giftings are to do the same thing. Being given this gift myself; I really don't have much of an idea HOW this can be done or where it is being practiced. The true Word of God isn't usually something people in this age want to hear; and that of course fits into any spiritual truths. There are truly those who you can see are under demonic influence or else are particularly blessed. As with anyone ministering to others we need to make sure that it is God speaking to us; and we need to repent quickly of sins so the enemy doesn't have legal grounds to affect our minds and deceive us. Our soul and spiritual entities interact together so we must view both

Spiritual dimension: Part 2

With this basic scriptural foundation for discernment in the spiritual realm covered in part 1; we can begin to look at things as believers that He would show us in order to increase our trust in God; our faith and worship particularly in our personal and individual lives.

There is a childlike faith in recognition of Christ ( Psalm 8:2). The enemy; constantly reaching out to younger children is of course as always appearing as an "angel of light". ( 2 Cor. 11:14). We really need to be cautious here; I cannot overemphasize this. Kids need to be protected and there is a correct way to do this. Nonetheless; I believe in this culture especially we should build the foundation for being warriors in Christ. If we insulate for the wrong reasons; the kids will find out anyway life's realities. Starting with the real battle; the unseen by teaching the true Gospel then kids can understand how to be armed with the Ephesians 6 truth. To teach a false; New Age sort of mentality is dangerous and it is concerning to me sometimes how the approach is taken with children's Bible studies. This is sadly largely due to parents allowing kids to view all sorts of entertainment with superheroes; that shall we say have even more associated "baggage" with their personas than say 20 years ago. I don't have all the answers here; but unless we can break out of this mindset; and that of the psychology of child development dictating all of our actions; then we are oftentimes putting confidence in things that are not going to stand the test of time. Parents that pretend to have lives free of stresses in order to not upset their kids aren't necessarily doing any favors either. I say all this because these things of our youth tend to affect us on the long term; such as comforts in possessions once the childhood toys are gone; and the same bad behaviors are passed on to the next generation. I will explain why I sidetracked into this part 2 subject.

Holy Spirit, I pray that You would decide for Richard regarding his requests, for Your decisions are reflections of what God knows about him; and in this Light error of any kind becomes impossible. Your Will be done. Trusting in the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen.

Be still and know God is God.

The Spiritual Dimension

...The life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God..." That is part of Galatians 2:20. His Spirit also testifies with our spirit that we "are children of God" according to Romans 8:16. Scripture cannot be read alone with mental faculties and understood as God's truth unless these realities exist; namely being Born of the Spirit ( John 3:6-8) makes the Word living and active in our hearts ( Hebrews 4:12).

Scriptural truth also is what separates the God of truth and His angels from the fallen angels and demons that are the ruling principalities and powers of this world in this age ( Ephesians 6:12). Thus; we can experience God whether "in or out of the body" ( 2 Corinthians 12:2) as Paul did and by extension a demonic spiritual "trip" can occur much in the same way.

Anyone realistically wanting to understand 2 Corinthians 5:8 on being absent from the body; present with the Lord will understand that being in His presence as a believer is overwhelming to the extent that John fell at His feet as though dead ( Revelation 1:17). This is all the more telling since he was the disciple who always was closest to Jesus and even in his own testimony most loved ( John 13:23 and apparently in 4 other verses).

If we are NOT truly in Christ then there is only the terror of the Lord and of course immediate judgment and condemnation for those who are goats rather than sheep. Thus; those who promote a false gospel even if they were brain dead and came back to life God allows them to continue here for a while for His purposes. It would seem that it is possible as long as a body can be resuscitated for a few minutes that this can occur; that is a far cry from Lazarus being raised from the dead or the Lord Himself.

In any case, anyone preaching a gospel other than the truth let him be "anathema" ( Galatians 1:8); and that includes angels as well. To know we are hearing from God being saved is a minimum requirement.

Hello Elizabeth. There have been several opinions/theories proffered about the significance of this number 153. I'm unconvinced that any of them have any value at all, rather I read that verse as given.

In John 21:8, we see those disciples "dragging the net with fish(es)". These verses don't give us all the words & acts performed at that time. There could have been a discussion amongst them, why their nets didn't break with such a haul of fish, when normally they could only lift up a smaller amount of fish. Maybe, there was a discussion among them while on their boat that they should count their haul when they got to land, to see what they could actually lift in a net when Jesus gave them His Word. And they could even publicize it amongst other fisherfolk that they may marvel at this & begin to believe in the power of Christ. All this is only my guess, as none of it is given in the Bible (maybe others have other thoughts), but I feel that there is nothing more in that number '153', other than revealing a great quantity of fish caught in a net; in a net which was only capable of holding much less.

Isaiah 57:1-2

"The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart: and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from the evil to come.

He shall enter into peace: they shall rest in their beds, each one walking in his uprightness."

God that you for pouring favor on Stephanie Marks and John Bates relationship. Opening their eye to true love between two people. 2 shining lights becoming one. I love Stephanie would do anything for her to be happy and feel loved

Asking that you would please lift me up in prayer and ask that God would abundantly bless and increase me in the areas of finances, wisdom, and knowledge. Asking for God to open doors of opportunity that only HE could open and that He would also keep doors shut that need to be shut. Thank you and God bless you!

In John 21:11

Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.

What does the 153 signify? Why doesn't it say a lot or a little? Why is it this specific number? I've never found an answer for this.

Yes Texsis, I've heard of several arguments against the moon landing occurring, including the 'fluttering' of the flag, no evidence of stars, the sunlight in the wrong place, etc. Dealing with those matters will only take us to a dead end, as one is subject to what material he wants to read & what he wants to believe. In any case, the moon landing shouldn't affect our faith in Christ & what He has sacrificially done for us.

In regards to the 'firmament', the Hebrew word is 'rakia', meaning 'an extended surface or an expanse'. One could put the word 'dome' in that, and of course, that idea could then be carried through with this 'dome' sitting on a flat Earth, etc., etc. But when we continue to read in Genesis chapter 1, & see the word 'firmament' being used, we get a better picture of what this actually is.

Verse 6: waters were on the Earth (v2), & God separated those waters, having an expanse (firmament) to separate the waters below & above it (vv6,7). That 'firmament' God called heaven (v8) and then He put 'lights' in this firmament to give a separation of day & night, for signs, seasons, & years (v14). So, if this was a 'dome', then it was one that appears to be what we call the 'universe' and not something placed on the Earth. Rather, this expanse is the sky we see & the universe beyond that contains the heavenly bodies, with the separated water on the Earth & above this expanse. What happened to this water above the firmament, we're not told. And where 'firmament' appears in the other books, e.g. Psalms, Ezekiel, & Daniel), the same Hebrew word is used to suggest such an expanse as described in the Genesis account.

Heavenly Father, Your Word says, what God has joined together, let no man separate. You have joined us together and so I give You glory and praise. Lord the enemy has seeped into my family and has cause my spouse to abandon his family. May all the lies and deception be uncovered. For all unfruitful works of darkness be exposed. We ask in Jesus' name to break all spirits of control, domination, lust, seduction, oppression, anger, hatred, pride, arrogance, isolated and addiction to be broken and destroyed. We pray for protection against witchcraft, spells, curses and hexes operating against my family. In Jesus name they will be cancelled. May everyone involved repent, heal, turn from their sin and operate in the spirit of God. Amen

In Christ you are always where you should be , at home with God through Christ . We are all living together in the same mansion . May God continue to bless and support you in every way you need .

Thank you Dear Heavenly Father , through the name of Jesus Christ , thank you for your wonderful lovingkindness towards us , all every day in million different ways , thankyou for showing us all , your tender mercies . Please continue to do so if it is your will . Amen .

Scripture about an Angels carrying ._. Not "spirit" Luke 16:22, 'your question spirit seeing loved ones on earth', more importantly GOD ALMIGHTY sees us Psalms 139, Psalms 27:10, & Jesus intercedes for us Romans 8,

It's important to understand the Biblical laws of marriage were given to Moses for Israel & "the Children of GOD" John 1:12, also Romans 8, relevant.

These laws are for GOD fearing, believers, a guideline for what's best.

I don't believe GOD ever advocated for slavery, Please read 1Samuel 8:7-22,

Jeremiah 34:8-22, = Jeremiah 39:10,

Malachi 3:5,

Matthew 25:31-46,

There are many more scriptures I believe that also will show, GOD's love to humanity & advocated against slavery

he says the moon landing was not real or flag wouldn't have waved in no wind and in Genesis it says "firmament" which when he looked up is a dome or something, I forget but I will try
