Prayer to each & everyone reading this.! God bless & be w/you.!

Hi Phillip.

Well said, you are right about those.

I looked it up in a Hebrew religious site. The exact translation from the Hebrew Bible was written as:

Isa 45:18

"ki ke amr ieue BURA eshmim eua ealeim ITZR eartz (Hbr)

thus that he-says Yahweh one-creating theheavens he theElohim one-forming theearth (Eng)

uOSHe eua KUNNe la theu brae lshbth itzre ani ieue uain oud (Hbr)

andone-making-ofher he he-establishedher not chaos he-createdher toto-dwell-of he-formedher I Yahweh andthere-is-no further (Eng)"

BURA, ITZR, OSH, KUNN are the words you are reffering to, they show a God's characteristic for the specific action. I noticed that "Yahweh" is written as "ieue" and "he" as "eua"(they seem to be very similar) and "one" ias "u". Also "Elohim" as "Aleim" which is plural in Hbr since the ending "im" always shows the plural form. The singular form is "El", in Hbr "Al".

GBU

another urgent prayer request: please pray for a person that Gianna and her friend knows, they could be suicidal so PLEASE pray for that person brethren and hopefully they are saved too, thank you.

John 4:23-24.

Worshipping in truth and in spirit. Does that mean by the letter/ordinances which refers to man's efforts or is it the effectual working of the Holyspirit that lines one heart to be in agreement with God's law? Not written on tablets of stone but written in our heart.

If that's so, is it just revealing the hidden wisdom of God in the scripture? Or does the Holyspirit also cause us to love God's statutes and causes us to function in the way scripture identifies us as desciples. "One who FOLLOWS Christ teachings"

(I'm singling out mature Christian here.)

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.

Would the spirit move us to not only obey Christ but also "Paul's epistles?

Every man's work shall be tested by fire. We can be caught up so much in proving our worth amongst men we may never realize we are building a two-story hay house.

If there is no spiritual growth, we can become ineffective but yet satisfied because we're proud of the work we put in. And if we're content with that we become Lukewarm or perhaps never was actually converted!

This is why we examine ourselves "Examine the motive in everything you do and the spiritual fruit in our lives NOT the two story hay house.

Many will try to present their works to the Lord " Matthew 7:22-23." The Lord will say he NEVER knew you" and you have no works to confirm because your evidence went up in smoke!

Deny ourselves and do all things in the spirit to glorify God

God bless.

I find myself against the odds of the book of Proverbs.

Is there and army in the bible that will come out of the east of 200,000,000 all on horseback? I need book chapter and verse. Thank you.

This text is EXTREMELY confusing in part because the Nephilim (which means "fallen ones") are mentioned but not really described here. In Numbers 13, however, they're described as some sort of giants. To add to the confusion, this language about the "sons of God" procreating with the "daughters of men? My question is "PROCREATING!" How can Angels and or Fallen Angels (Nephilim) take woman's into themselves and have SEXUAL relationship and these woman bare children? Do heavenly being also have intimate parts? How did the "Sons Of God" came into the daughters of men?

The LORD; Isa. 45:18 = When written in all capital letters as it is here, the title LORD renders GOD's unknown, incommunicable, unpronounceable Proper NAME.

It translated from the Hebrew tetragrammaton YHWH (Eng. transliteration.).

The Hebrews added the vowels from their title "adonay" (Eng. "lord") to the tetragrammaton YHWH to derive the more pronounceable name "JEHOVAH" (or "YAHWEH").

When recorded in this all-capitals manner, the title "LORD" Identifies "The Eternal, SELF-Existing ONE.

created; Isa. 45:18 = Translated from the Hebrew verb root "bara'" (transliterated; pronounced "baw-RAW"), the term "created" applies only to JEHOVAH GOD, for it literally describes HIM bringing something into existence from nothing simply by HIS DIVINE Words or Will (cp. Rev. 4:11). Compare Genesis 1:1:

"In the beginning GOD created the heaven and the earth."

formed; Isa. 45:18 = Translated from the Hebrew verb root "yatsar" (transliterated "yaw-TSAR'"), the term "formed" describes JEHOVAH GOD miraculously, and on a grand scale, shaping and fashioning that which HE previously created out of nothing.

URGENT PRAYER:

if you can, please pray for Gianna's aunt, she was sent to the hospital and has a blood clot on her leg and chest and if it travels to her heart, she can die. please send prayers. thank you brethren.

made; Isa. 45:18 = When translated from the Hebrew verb root "asah" (transliterated' "aw-SAW"), the term "made" describes the sequence of GOD first "creating" something out of nothing, and then shaping and fashioning "formed") that "creation" into its beautiful and useful existence. Finally, HE arranges, places, and securely fixes ("established") HIS Creation for HIS and man's availability and use.

Compare GOD's subsequent actions immediately after HE "created the heaven and the earth" ( Gen. 1:1). Note that "the earth was without form and void" ( Gen. 1:2). GOD's creative finishing touches of "forming" and "establishing" that which HE previously "created" occurs throughout the following verses (vv. 1:2b - 2:3).

Understand, the act of GOD's "forming" and "establishing" HIS Creation required DIVINE miraculous Words and Will that only JEHOVAH GOD possesses, and that JEHOVAH GOD solely could accomplish.

established; Isa. 45:18 = When translated from the Hebrew root verb "kuwn" (transliterated "koon"), the term "established" describes GOD setting HIS Creation and HIS fashioning of it into its permanent place and operation.

Consider GOD's "establishment" of the sun which HE created in the heavens ( Ps. 19:4):

"In them hath HE set a tabernacle for the sun."

In addition, consider GOD's "establishment" of the earth ( Job 26:7):

"HE stretcheth out the north {the vast expanse of the northern heavens} over the empty place {nothing exists for support}, and hangeth the earth upon nothing."

Hello Todd.

Well said. Jesus has become a curse for us all on the cross ( Galatians 3:13), so now every believer that is covered with His Blood is protected. In fact there are no curses at all (from God) in the world even for unbelievers since we live in the age of Grace, not Law.

Now about tenths, Paul in 1 Cor 16:2 says "Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, that there be no gatherings when I come". So there isn't a fixed amount of money that we should give to the church, ie tenths, but a much as we wish to give, if we have anything to give.

GBU

Hello Doc

In Ephesians 1:8 it says:

"Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men"

The expression "he led captivity captive" is a Hebraism, it means that one "captures somebody or something" or "takes somebody/something as a captive". In this case it is Jesus who captured gifts for believers, a figurative expression that means that Jesus took the authority to give gifts to believers.

The above verse in Ephessians was a prophesy written in Psalms 68:18.

There are also two other mentions of that verse in the Bible:

1. Judges 5:12. Here it literally means that one captures people as captives, ie Barak.

2. Amos 1:6. Here it also literally means that one took God's people as captives, ie Edom.

I am blessed and closer to GOD

It is interesting but unimportant who the scribe was that penned Phillippians. God Himself is the author of Phillippians. And every word in the original autograph is the Word of God. As is every word in the entire Bible. This is why we are commanded to compare scripture with scripture in order to come to truth. The Bible is its own dictionary and its own interpreter. And we must approach the Bible recognizing that the Bible is ONE BOOK with ONE AUTHOR. Holy men of old wrote as they were moved by God The Holy Spirit. The Bible is not the word of Paul or Peter or Mark or Luke or Jeremiah. It is indeed THE WORD OF GOD.

Lord Jesus please help in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

Lord Jesus help us to love you first and foremost.

Praise be to The King of Kings! Hosanna in the highest! We serve an awesome and mighty GOD! Word's cannot not express the joy that awaits us in Heaven. Let us rejoice and praise and bask in the glory of GOD! Soften our hearts lord. Let us not be vain or puffed up against one another. We love you, We love your word. We are filthy and vile lord. You are our only hope, The author and finisher of our faith. Thou are art the only one found holy, oh lord. I will praise thee in the gates. I will sing of your holiness, your beauty and your righteousness. Filly my cup with the overflow of your abundant love. Cleanse my mind of impurity and evil. Lord I pray for all of the people on this forum lord. May your love overshadow them today in a mighty way. Bring tears of love and of joy to our eyes lord as we think of the beauty of your holiness and glory. Oh GOD, How great thou art! I love you King Jesus! I love you father! We love your spirit, Your holy spirit! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN! Alleluia! Praise be to the King of Kings!

Lord Jesus please grant us all thankful hearts

Lord Jesus please help in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.

Asking for strong protection and breakthrough for us and all in need. And Lord please intervene in A's life and let her not be pregnant again to tie her boyfriend to herself. Its been so hurtful for the little one already because of A's condition. Thank you.

I have read and have a thought. The jews were under the law and were in bondage or captive to the laws. Christ game by grace to bring a new covenant to replace the old. Galatians 4 vs 9 explains this thought process. It also says Christ lead captivity captive and left man gifts. The gifts that Christ had, healing, etc.

Also, if I may share this. Philippians was written around 63 A.D. while Paul was under house arrest in Rome for two years, as recorded in Acts 28:16-31.



This is his first imprisonment. His second imprisonment was of course in the dungeon and he was killed right after that time.



Philippians is one of four prison epistles or letters: Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon were written by Paul during this time that he was under house arrest in Rome.

After Paul wrote the letter, it was carried to Philippi by Epaphroditus on his return trip.

I have looked and have this thought. When the jews were under the law they were in bondage to the law or in captivity to the law. Christ replaced the law with grace and broke the bondage or cpativity of the old covenant with the new. It also says he left men with gifts.

Jazzy james,

I'm not sure if that's a question or a statement but if it's a question, I would say that Philippians was written by Paul mainly. But he also signs Timothy on.

He has Timothy with him. He also has Luke with him. But he says Paul and Timothy are the authors of the letter. Paul's inscription is on all thirteen of his letters.

Paul wrote to the church in Philippi. Philippi became the first European city to receive the gospel. The church at Philippi was founded during Paul's second missionary journey, recorded in Acts 16:8-12.

Epaphroditus was a messenger. He was also believed to be a pastor of the church in Philippi. Paul seems to have visited the church in Philippi twice. That is found in II Corinthians 1:16; Acts 19:21; Acts 20:1-3.

The church in Philippi sent Paul two love offerings for his missionary endeavors in Thessalonica, found in Philippians 4:15-16.



In fact, Paul said nobody else sent for support except for the Christians in Philippi, not once he said, but twice to support the missionary effort.



In 62 AD Paul finds himself as a prisoner in Rome. That is in Acts 28:30-31.



When the church heard of Paul's imprisonment in Rome, they again sent a love offering to him by way of Epaphroditus. Paul describes him as the pastor or messenger, the one that gives the messages in Philippi.

So Epaphroditus is sent 700 miles with this love offering to help Paul while he was imprisoned in Rome, and to minister to Paul there.

While in Rome, Epaphroditus became very sick and nearly died. At this time, some 10 years after his original visit to Philippi, Paul wrote the epistle of Philippians.



Paul writes to the Philippians both to thank them for their gift and also to report the good news of Epaphroditus' recovery.

Please, pray for me, that God may cause backfire on my enemies, who are poisoning me with class A drugs, witchcraft and all wickedness, in Jesus Name. He may convict Tatiana, Barry & accomplices of their sins by the power of the Holy Spirit and Jesus Name and they may flee from me, immediately as is written in Psalm 7:16 "The trouble they make for others backfires on them. The violence they plan falls on their own heads," as they are making my life a misery for over 8 years, poisoning me for over 4 years and the police & housing are colluding with them, bullying me and lying to their teeth. God may bring justice to me as in Luke 18, in Jesus Mighty Name.

Hi as it is written

No one knows the day nor the hour.

but be sober minded watching always in Prayer reading your bible and fasting seeking God daily in your life for even tomorrow you don't know about it.

Romans 1:1

Paul a bondservant of Christ -Here Paul is captive to Jesus Christ but before his redemption from sins he was in captivity in sins.

Thanks to God i just learned this when you asked this question

Give thanks to God always in all things.

God took Him to heaven, translated him for one day he will do the same to the church in the last day he will take us as well those that walk with Jesus and do according to his will.

Genesis 5:21

21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he fathered Methuselah. 22 Enoch walked with God2 after he fathered Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Thus all the days of Enoch were 365 years. 24 Enoch walked with God, and he was not,3 for God took him.

Give freely as you purpose in your heart, you are forced if you give knowing that you will not receive a curse then you're not a cheerful giver because you're giving under pressure.

Concerning giving i know God cares more about worshiping him with all our hearts with all our mind and soul in his house more than Tith.

Infact God said to the People of Israel he did not speak to them about burnt offering by They ware to obey his words which they failed and got carried away by Burnt offering

Jeremiah 7:22

For in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, I did not speak to your fathers or command them q concerning burnt offerings and sacrifices. 23 But this command I gave them: r 'Obey my voice, and sI will be your God, and you shall be my people. t And walk in all the way that I command you, u that it may be well with you.'

I pray this gives you understanding.

So Please Pray and ask God to help you understand.

Please Lord intervene in L.A. life and help them through this health issue that they will be a testimony for You. Please Holy Spirit give L.A. an new outlook on their health and financial issues that the Light Of Jesus will shine on and through L.A. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ!!

Please consider reflecting on 2 Timothy 1:7, Matthew 6:34, Psalm 46:1 and James 1:2-4.
