Dear Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus we pray for Amber again. thank you for bringing her through to this day.

Father, we know that You delight in answering prayers of Your children. We know that You love us. we know that You are able to heal and preserve life. Because of these truths, we pray to You tonight for Amber. Amen.
Good questions.
The emphasis was on the motive in which we do things. " Examine ourselves to see if we are doing it by command. glory or Agape.
I believe what is important is the Heart behind every action.
The work and the heart behind the things we do that pleases God can only be achieved by the Holyspirit.
Romans 8:7-9.
In my post I was asking WHAT IS OUR MOTIVE when we do the things we are asked NOT to do.
That's why a stated; "If we are supposed to be moved by the Spirit "by the instrument of faith" unto good works but yet we don't display good works, then our faith is vain/dead, Then is it fair to say that if we provide works THAT IS NOT BY THE INFLUENCE of the spirit that causes obedience to God's word, "then our work is vain."
Here's an Scriptural example
Matthew 6:1-8.
If our works confirms our faith and that work is tried by fire, it will stand. But if we perform a work we are asked NOT to do, What is the motive? Pride? And should we care?
If pride I believe we are building with wood hay and stubble. It will go up in smoke!
So the context in these posts isn't focused on the people in rebellion to God's instructions. It's focus is on those who seem content in their salvation when we should be concerned about the order mentioned in scripture that helps us grow so we don't become lukewarm.
Our attitude and trust in God's structure and instructions being profound or not to Grow "or perfect" the Church is on trial
Ephesians 4:11-16. seems to say he gave particular offices to particular people to Prosper the Church.
Thanks and Goodnight.
You are right, this is hard to understand so we need not be dogmatic but humble. The sons of God are in the OT only 5 times Gen. 6:2, 5 Job 1:6 Job 2:6 Job 38:7, and Daniel 3:25. The times in Job and Daniel are clearly angelic beings, so how do we take the meaning in Gen. 6. It says, "when the sons of God saw daughters of men", The Hebrew word for men here is h-'-m/adam meaning mankind. So, is this distinguishing a difference in the sons of adam/men?
There are words that we may overlook, "and also after that". We see giants/Nephilim after the flood. 2 Sam. 21:16 Joshua 12:4 Num. 13:33 Deut. 2:19-21 Deut. 20:17 Amos 2:9 and more. Are there any NT scriptures that speak to this?
2 Peter 2:4-6 and Jude 1:6-7 both are talking about angels who sinned and "which kept not their first estate but left their own habitation", the Greek word is used only two times translated habitation is oiktrion, the other place was in 2 Cor 5:2 the word house. Peter and Jude both compare what these angels did the same as in Sodom and Gomorrah, strange flesh.
There are fallen angels along with Satan who are active on the earth today and still have access to heaven, but these angels did something even worse because God made an example of them and locked them in chains of darkness in the bottomless pit, until judgment. I do not know of any man in the OT who was ever called or referred to as son of God, I may have overlooked it, but my understanding is Nephilim came from these angels that God locked up.
God bless,

Dear Heavenly Father, Mary is need of receiving her just inheritance. We ask You to bring this about quickly and smoothly. We ask that You remove the obstacles that is keeping this inheritance from her and that any sinful actions that are interfering with its distribution be checked by You. We ask that Mary will receive all that is legally hers to claim and that the resolution of the estate is settled without any legal objections, hold-ups, or shenanigans by others who have access and power to distribute the inheritance. We ask this of You Father, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Dear Heavenly Father, today we come to You on behalf of jean and her husband. Together we ask that You bring financial blessing to them to meet their needs for bills, groceries, and all of what is essential for their day to day, month to month lives. We know that You are more than able to provide for our needs when we ask of You and can do so overabundantly. So, we ask You today for this outpouring in the lives of Jean and her husband, in the name of Jesus. Amen.
I read recently that scientist have found large amounts of water are located across the universe. But outer space is not all water. There is "air" space between planets, solar systems, etc. These spaces do not contain air like in our immediate atmosphere, but they contain photons of light waves.
There is movement due to gravity and also collisions such as asteroids bumping together, there is magnetism and gravity, solar winds. there is "space dust and "star nurseries". I also read that the universe is stretching out (expanding in dimensional space) so this means that objects and collections of objects are moving farther apart.
There are exploding stars (novas and super novas) black holes that transmit an immense amount of energy, quasars, comets, and so much more in space.
And there are billions of stars, planets, and galaxies.
God has a purpose for all of these things. In eternity we will know so much more and be awestruck even more than we are at this time.
Everything went well with the Doctor. My biopsy showed the tumor is benign and also a very rare type and in a space tat is even more rare for these to occur. Just kind of weird. The first one of these in the nostril that was recorded was in 1965 and since then only about 50 cases have been reported. So, 50 cases in 50 odd years is really rare and also hard to study (as far as from a medical standpoint.)
I am thankful it is removed and non-cancerous. It has a low recurrence rate. So, I hope that this chapter in my life story is closed.
It is very likely that the climate did change after the flood. The surface of the earth was most likely very different. Mountain ranges may have been pushed up on land and sea, which would affect climate. The waters that were above the earth held in the firmament had burst open. So, these waters were no longer intact, which would allow much more sunlight and ultraviolet light. May have affected the oxygen levels in the air and also the air pressure. Also, the changes in the atmosphere would produce storms, hurricanes, etc. that did not occur pre-flood. These would have an affect on humanity after the flood.
I was just approved for disability this month after almost two years of "process". I received retroactive payment to cover from the time I became disabled. So, I believe it will happen for you, too. But the government is very slow about processing claims. Shouldn't really be that way, but we have to work with that with patience. I am glad you can stay with your Mom. That is a blessing. I hope your appt. went well. Let me know how it turned out.
But God had his reasons, and somewhere in the word it says that God does not fail to leave a witness. So, there must have been others, and in the last days, Noah, who gave witness to God like Enoch. But we just don't really know.
I wish we did know more about the pre-flood times, but God chose to eliminate traces of this time, unless some artifacts are excavated by archeological teams from that time. Don't know if God wants us to know about that time. Perhaps the level of corruption was exceedingly greater than our world now and knowing about it would feed the sinful nature of those who learn of it.
So, in taking captivity captive, Jesus released us from the power of sin that kept us captive to sinful nature. He broke the hold that sin had on us like breaking the bonds from the hands and feet of a slave or prisoner. He then, bound up Satan by His authority so that Satan would no longer have power over those who are redeemed.
In regards to giving gifts to men, Jesus' victory for us brings all the riches of salvation to us. Also, the Holy Spirit's indwelling and the power of grace for us. In Jesus, we are sealed for eternity to receive the crown of life and incorruption and immortality. By His blood shed for us, He has given us the gift of His righteousness and the freedom of our set free will to serve God instead of sin. These are very precious gifts. But Jesus needed to take captivity captive in order for us to be able to possess these and many other spiritual gifts kept for us in heaven.
I would like to bring some thoughts into consideration.
If I don't feel like doing a good work that is infront of me but still know that this is God's Will, should or should I not do it? What is Lord expecting from me and how is He going to judge my specific action(or lack of it)?
If I don't feel like obeying God's commandements in the New Testament, should I still or not obey them? Is is how I feel (or driven/moved by the Spirit) or is it how it should be and what is God expecting from me?
What do we actually mean when we say that we are driven by the Spirit or that we are under the influence of the Spirit? Do we expect a feeling or a motivation getting somehow inside us? Isn't it enough that the written Word of God istructs us to do certain things? Isn't the Word of God written by the influence of the Spirit? Isn't it what the Spirit of God wants us to do(or not to do)? Do we really need an extra motivation/inspiration? And if there isn't such an extra motivation are we justified for not doing the obvious? How is God going to judge our works or the lack of them?
Well, it is 1 o'clock after midnight here, so I'll get back here tomorrow. Till then GBU. I would also like to see what others believe about that.
Dear Heavenly Father, we need Your help with Gianna's mother. You know what is going on in her. We ask that You break up the clots in her blood vessels and restore her to health. We ask that all of the medications being given to her will help resolve this serious situation. We ask that You comfort and calm her. We pray that she will turn to You for help and hope today. We ask these things of You Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus, Amen.
This account in Genesis 6 is puzzling. And since the anti-diluvian world was demolished by the flood, then we may never know what really occurred. Also, since we do know some things about angels, yet we do not know all. And, on top of that, we do not know all of the creatures God created in the spiritual realm. So the sons of god may have been angels a different type of spiritual being, or the sons of the line off Seth. We really cannot say that we know.
the longest held viewpoint in both Christianity and Judaism is that the women were impregnated by non-human beings, with angels being the common thinking. But the view that they were descendants of the godly line of Seth is another view that has merit.
We do not know all that God has created even on earth let alone in space or in the spiritual realm.
I think that it is a good idea to cross-reference the term "sons of god" in the Scripture and see to whom God was speaking bout in other passages.
