Hi

when Adam fell at the garden, he lost the dominion to Satan who ruled over instead of Adams Place.

Then at the cross Jesus took back the dominion from Satan at the cross and gave it back to us, by us i mean Christians who believe in the lord Jesus Christ.

Genesis 1:27-29

27 So God created man in his own image,

in the image of God, he created him.

male and female, he created them.

28 And God blessed them. And God said to them, "Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth." 29 And God said, "Behold, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food." And it was so.

Matthew 28:16 (All authority)

16 Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. 17 And when they saw him, they worshiped him, but some doubted. 18 And Jesus came and said to them, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them min2 the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age."

Repent before God and believe int he lord Jesus Christ amen and Pray to God to give you understanding.

A warning.

Hebrews 12:15 serves as a warning about any "seed of bitterness" that arises within us.

There are two ways in which the enemy will work. As believers; the Spirit makes the truth of scripture clear to us so that we know clearly what certain sins are and how to conduct ourselves rightly; in contrast. The lie that so often is effective is to convince ourselves that since we are indeed saved by grace that we are free from being entangled once again with our sin nature; or perhaps better put we think because we know INTELLECTUALLY what to do and we are "covered" by the blood that there are no more dangers lurking inside. Satain is well aware of our weaknesses; and that if we are looking for outside threats from the enemy we may not be paying attention to our hearts where sin gives him the only access to affect us.

It is always good to remember that Satan is not a foe to trifle with. God's purposes were even used with Christ and the temptation in the desert for His total reliance on the Spirit as an example of how to live sinlessly and victoriously in our lives.

Jesus knew better than to try to get into a physical confrontation at that time with Satan; and didn't argue about the authority that was claimed over the earth when the devil tempted Him to worship him in return for all the glory of the earth. ( Matt. 4:1-11).

All of us; and I repeat ALL are to remain steadfast in prayer for one another as all go through like temptations as the Body of Christ while on this earth. Keeping this in mind helps us not to focus too much on our own issues. Satan loves to "divide and conquer" and one of his favorite tactics is to make us feel that there is nothing anyone can do to help us. Contrast that with the overdependent type; either immature in faith or not believing at all. Those individuals are only there for themselves. Part of our TRUST in God is that He will provide brothers or sisters in our time of need wherever we are. We are not alone.

The word of the Lord is perfect

Please pray for the restoration of my marriage to my wife Charlene. We've been separated for just over 3 months and it's been tearing apart our family. Our oldest daughter is angry and barely speaks to her now . My son who is still home with me just doesn't understand & upset. Honestly I don't understand. I know she's staying with people who are into drugs and against everything I thought we both believed in .

She's the one who brought me to Christ , so I'm lost as to what to think . Still I love my wife and just want her to come home. I know the woman I fell in love with and married. Is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside.

I don't care what has happened we can get through it together, if she'd just try too.

I'm starting to lose hope and I'm struggling. I feel like all I do is pray .

If you would pray for us , I would be grateful.

Good evening all!

Our moving day is less then 3 weeks away!!

We give You oh Lord Jesus thanks and praise for leading us on our new path!!!

Only by Your graciousness are we leaving NYC,

a new start, a quieter life, a precious new start for my

family and I!!!

There is nothing we can say, only our hearts are over

joyed with the blessing that You alone have given to us!!

You will be with us, on the road, by our side guiding us

to our new home!!!!

May we be worthy of all You have given to us!!!!

In Jesus's name I pray, Amen!!

Pray for us!!!!!!

Thanks for that Gerald - I hear what you're saying. We can be so engrossed & nit-picky on the wording & grammar of the Scriptural texts but in the end miss out on what the Holy Spirit is trying to get through to us. But for the believer who has both the grasp of the original language & able to correctly interpret & "divide" the Scriptures, to me, is a wonderful asset. And our two brothers who regularly share their knowledge in such a manner, have been vital to my greater appreciation & understanding of the Word. Unfortunately, for both Hebrew & Greek, I can only depend on the published lexicons for these languages, which sometimes can even fall short of what a word or thought is actually perceived by their respective speakers. Thanks for your input - much appreciated.

Yes brother Spencer,

Thanks for sharing Romans 7:18. It is a great example. In fact, that verse is part of a chapter outline in Chapter 7 that begins at Verse 24 and goes to Verse 25, and it has to do with the performance in Sanctification.

In Verse 18, where Paul says in my flesh dwells no good thing, the word "good" in the text is the Greek word Agathos that has to do with Spiritual good. Not human good, but Spiritual good. So Paul says there is no Spiritual good at all in my flesh. Nothing! Zero!

I think Paul summarizes this whole section pretty well in Verse 25 by saying, "So with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with my flesh I serve the law of sin."



Wow, what a statement! The flesh will never serve the law of God.



In his (Paul's) flesh is no good thing. We see in Chapter 8 that he says that the flesh has no ability to serve the law of God. It's just all sin in the flesh. There is no spiritual good in it at all.



So Paul sees these two laws, that with his mind he serves the law of God, but with his flesh is the law of sin.

God bless!!!

You may be right Gerald about predestination, I may have understood that word wrongly or express my thoughts wrongly and a wrong conclusion came out, but let's leave it for tomorrow, I haven't got any time for a detailed answer now.

But as far as grk or hebr are concerned nobody I think claimed that if one knows them then they know the Bible better than others but it is often useful for clarifying some verses, nothing more than that GBU

Love it!

Welcome James, glad you found us here.

Chris has given you a good explanation to you two queries.

I just want to add that I have been pretty much a homebody since covid began in 2020 since I have 5 of the risk factors for having a covid infection become a very serious illness for me. But, with being home, I have been blessed to also keep up with the news and world happenings and along the way I came to this site also, as I was seeking to read the KJV for the first time. This site has truly blessed me in so many ways. I hope you find yourself "at home" here. I will pray for your health.

Dear Heavenly Father, today we come to You in the name of Jesus and ask that You will bring improved health to James. We ask that You supply to James the health care that will most benefit him. We are thankful that James is seeking You more during this time. Bless James in his seeking after You and Your truth with wisdom and understanding. Amen.

Hi Guy.

In John 1:29 John sees Jesus and says "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

And then in John 1:33 John says Jesus "is he which shall baptize with the Holy Ghost.

BAPTISM MEANS TO IDENTIFY WITH or IDENTIFICATION.

John's baptism was to Identify the Jews with the coming covenant which would be brought in by Christ death. see Hebrews 9:15-17.

Jesus baptism was Identifying with us. see Romans 6:3-6.

Jesus was baptized because He was taking our place. This reveals His perfect identification with us; He took the place of the sinners.

The account in Matthew 3:15 Jesus says it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness"

He was made "sin for us, who knew no sin" ( 2 Corinthians 5:21). I think the explanation is found in that. He's identifying Himself with the human family in the baptism.

I hope this helps.

God bless.

Is it in the Bible where you should give the church 5% offering, I know you give a 10% tithe?

Please Lord intervene within this family and fill them with Your Grace, Love and Mercy as they endure through daily life and the attacks by the devil. I know what is ever above our head us under the feet of Jesus Christ. Please uplift this family Holy Spirit with Your gifts and guidance that through this valley of life, they will see the light of Jesus Christ that will bring them to peak of blessings, prosperity and patience I pray in the name of Jesus Christ.

Please consider reflecting on: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, Psalm 23, Psalm 37. Ephesians 6:10-15, 2 Timothy 1:7 and 2 Timothy 2:1.

alex1939...Hiya Guy Gbu very good question...Jesus had no sin but according to the law he cd not offend in any place till all was fulfilled...Moses law cd not be offened in any place till all was fulfilled..I come not to do away with the law but to fulfill the law...Moses law said that 2 turtle doves had to be washed by running water and the Jordan was running water and 1 of the doves had to be a sacrficial Dove...He had to be killed and his blood sprinkled on the living bird...Thats what the dove the H.G. was trying to tell us when he descended on Jesus...And John said he that has the bride is the bridegroom...Husbands love your wives as Christ LOVED THE church and gave his life for it..One dove had to give his life for the living bird...Thats y that dove descened on Jesus....Jesus had no sin but he had to be washed by running water b/c of Moses law...In Song of Solomon the 2 lovers are Christ and the Church and they refer to each other as having doves eyes...Jesus was our sacrificial Dove that had to be washed by running water the Jordan and killed and his blood sprinkled on the living bird the Church...Then the living bird was set free in an open field..Whom the son sets free is free indeed..As the king sets at his table my spicknard sends forth a sweet smell..thats when Mary broke the alabaster box sending a sweet smell all thru the house...Moses law said that if the leperous house was made clean a sweet smell had to be OFFERED UP all thru the house...Jesus was in the house of Simon the leper when Mary broke her alabaster box...We are all in the house of Simon b/c of sin..But Jesus said you are made clean by the word i have spoken unto you..Jesus answers to that sacrificial dove whos blood was sprinkled on the living bird the Church...As Jesus was the living word made flesh and blood..But it was only b/c of the law of Moses that Jesus was water baptised..Not for sin...Jesus cd not offend, thus he became our sacrificial dove..Thats y the dove descended on Jesus.

Amen Brother Jesse!

Acts 3:16 is one I missed and a great example.

I'm also traveling and trying voice command that Isn't going well!

You have to have perfect pronunciations. I'm originally from Louisiana

I didn't realize my speech has so many issues.

I generally don't like to respond until I'm at home on the desktop.

Amen Brother Jesse.

Even when we act in the flesh as ww often do, we grieve the Holyspirit and the urge we get on the inside to correct ourselves comes from the Holyspirit. Paul says it best in Romans 7:18, "For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not."

Hello Guy,

I can speak a little on Jesus' baptism. I do agree with the things GiGi has shared in that the triune nature of God was revealed during His baptism.

But as far as Jesus being baptized to be cleansed of sin, you are correct in saying He has no sin. So we can rule out that as being the purpose for His baptism.

If we look at Matthew Chapter 3, we see Jesus coming to John to be baptized by him. But John didn't want to do it.

In Matthew 3:15, Jesus answers and says to John, allow it to be for now, for thus it becometh us to fulfill all righteousness. Then he suffered, (or allowed) Him.



Notice it says becomes "us" to fulfill all righteousness.



It is the fulfillment of Exodus 29:4. to fulfill all righteousness! And there are some things that are very interesting about Jesus' coming.



At 30 years of age, that is the age of the priesthood. According to Numbers 4:30, it was 30 years of age.



The priest had to go through a MIKVEH, (a baptism). They had to be baptized from head to toe. The washing, or the MIKVEH of the priesthood is in Exodus Chapter 29 Verse 4.



But, Moses was supposed to do the baptizing! That is interesting because here is John the baptizer standing there and Jesus says this is for "us" to fulfill all righteousness.



And so John is stepping in the place of Moses and baptizing Jesus for the priesthood. The anointing of the priesthood is in Exodus 29:7. They were anointed with oil.



Now all of this information is to bring us back to our text. Jesus was 30 years of age, and in order for Him to officially, according to the law, enter into His priesthood according to the Jews, He would have to be baptized.

So that is why He was baptized, not to be cleansed from sin, as you rightfully said, but to fulfill a requirement for Him to enter into His ministry.

Please pray for daniel. salvation. jesus save daniel and tanya.

Lifting you up in prayer this morning. Jesus is the light..forever!

Please pray for the Holy Spirit to help me and mine today.

The Lord is able to meet every need.

God is good ALL THE TIME.

Please pray for the (6 men) people on the bus yesterday. They all needed Jesus. So lost and broken.

:-(

Praying for you right now. Keep your mind on the Lord. Play praise music out loud and read the Word of God out loud. Leave it playing on your smart tv if you have one.

I'm praying every weapon formed against you is broken today. IN JESUS NAME and that you be covered in blood of JESUS CHRIST today.

The Lord is able. To keep you.

The devil is a liar.

I'm praying with you for these requests.

Praying for you

Why did Jesus get baptized? Matthew 3:15...And Jesus answering said unto him, Suffer it to be so now: for thus it becometh us to FULFIL ALL RIGHTEOUSNESS. Then he suffered (baptized) him.

Jesus was our example. He did no sin, but he went through the process he expects us to go through. As for the Holy Ghost, it appeared in the bodily shape of a dove. And remember God spoke saying, "this is my son in whom I am well pleased." What this shows you is God the Father, God the Son, and the Holy Ghost (or as some say, The Trinity). God is not Jesus and Jesus is not God. They are two seperate beings.

John 1:1...In the beginning was the Word (notice the capitalization), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

I submit to you God as in God the Son. Not God the Father. I have the same last name as my father, but I'm NOT my father. Hopefully that makes sense.

Genesis 1:26...And God said, Let us (us means more than one, so who else was he talking to? Jesus! Remember, he was from the beginning) make man in OUR (there's another word that means more than one) image, after OUR likeness: and let them have ominion...

Praying over your request.

Praying for you both. That the Lord will help you with your studies. And give you a love for learning. In Jesus name.

Blessings.

Praying over your request. His arm has not been shortened. The Lord is able. He knows what's best. Praying His will be done.

God bless.

Prayers over your family today.

Ruben I'm praying for you right now. You can make it! Our God is a jealous God. He loves you and he wants you.

Thank you for coming here for prayer. Jesus loves you so much. He will help you.



You're in my prayers right now.
