Hello, hope everyone is having a great holiday season so far and will continue to. I am asking your prayers for a financial blessing we have been waiting for. Would now be the time? And if so, that it would be delivered God's way, the right money, and without foolish and demonic additions/subtractions and loopholes, and only for those of us in the family to get it. I have signed the drawn-up papers twice but have yet to see or hear anything about the inheritance. If not, that we will continue to wait and be patient; I am asking the Lord to show us what we need to do to get ready to receive.

Prayers to Christ our Lord and God the Father for the sake of the anointed across the world to receive endowments of God's mercy, renewal of their for family covenant between Him, Power to step over world problems, brotherhood, and youth to leap over walls and outlive the enemy, being in the army of God

How was Church everyone (if you went). Mine talked about Revelation 19 & 20 featuring the defeat of Satan and the mocking trinity. They will one day be thrown into the lake of fire, and all evil will be finished! Amen! God has promised us a victory over all sin! Judgement will be completed and evil will be vanquished. I just can't stop thanking God for all that he has done and will do for me and all believers. Thank you God for everything, for this wonderful promise and victory.

Amen.

The End of The Chuech Age

For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 1 Peter 4:17

I believe the Bible teaches that 1 Peter 4:17 applies particularly to the day in which we are living. And that God has commanded all true believers to leave the local churches and congregations. If you go into virtually any church today and drill down to what they believe, the Bible is NOT the ultimate authority. And that they are teaching a works / grace gospel which is not the gospel of the Bible. The Bible teaches, I believe, that we are in the period of The Great Tribulation, Read Matt 24, where Christ has abandoned the local churches and congregations, God the Holy Spirit is no longer saving there, and Satan is actually rulling there.

Wonderfully though God, in His incomprehensible Mercy, is still saving OUTSIDE of the churches "a great multitude which no man can number" Rev 7:9 during this period of the Latter Rain.

I'm sure many will take issue with this. But I would encourage anyone to check out searchinghisword for messages and literature that are faithfully declaring what the Bible is teaching about our day.

May God lead us into truth as we search out His Word, the Bible.

thank you

Ever since the Bible was completed, God is no longer speaking to mankind through dreams or visions or tongues. Pay no attention to your dream as it is likely merely a reflection of your subconcious mind. God only speaks to us through His Word, the Bible. Your question is a very serious one. Read... Rev 22 and Matt 24.

Rev 22:18,19

For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:

And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

Matt 24:24

For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Please pray for the healing and reconciliation of my relationship with my ex Fiancee Bekah so we can be together.

Please , all you need to do is ask God for His forgiveness with an honest heart and you can be sure you will be forgiven . Once you know that you are forgiven you can move on , on to a better life in Christ and forget about your sinful past . Trust in God's love and mercy towards you .

Pray to the Lord your God . If you don't go to church , make the effort now , I'm sure you will be welcome and many churches have activities for senior citizens . Reach out to your family , make them aware of your vulnerability , they may not have realised that you need some help . But first and last and every day , talk to your Heavenly Father , He will hear you through Christ your Redeemer . May God bless you with all the help that you need .

This passage speaks to the very Nature of Salvation. By nature all of mankind in our unsaved condition are DEAD in trespasses and sins. As a result we are all under the judgement of God and the penalty of the wrath of God required by the Law of God. We CAN'T & WON'T love God with ALL our heart, with ALL our soul, with ALL our mind. So what are we to do? The answer is...we can do nothing. GOD MUST DO ALL THE WORK TO SAVE US, TO GIVE US A NEW HEART, A RESURRECTED SOUL.

Eze 36:24-31For I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into your own land.Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.And ye shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be my people, and I will be your God.I will also save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and will increase it, and lay no famine upon you.And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the increase of the field, that ye shall receive no more reproach of famine among the heathen.Then shall ye remember your own evil ways, and your doings that were not good, and shall lothe yourselves in your own sight for your iniquities and for your abominations.

The action here is ALL of God. WE CAN DO NOTHING TO ACCOMPLISH OR CONTRIBUTE TO OUR SALVATION IN ANY WAY.

Gal 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith OF Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith OF Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified. Read Jonah 3 & Matt 12:41

If a Husband divorces his wife and wife agrees . If she marries again , she and her new husband will be committing adultery , and should remain unmarried? #2 Question When someone dies , they are asleep but there spirit is with the Lord if they believe in Him . Does the spirit see there love ones that are here still on earth and will God allow there familiar spirit to guild you for his glory ?

I pray that my family can move back down to where we moved from. We are living in a not so safe town right now and I am afraid for my family. All we want is to get back down to safety.

May God grant me my prayers of justice for my mother, auntie, and me against our evil oppressors.

Please pray for me and my family that their eyes will be opened.

There are spelling errors music not musick.

Dear Davita, I will pray for you, but only you can ask God to forgive you of your sins. 1 John 1:9 "If we confess our sins he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Ask for forgiveness, confess each sin you remember, and ask God to help you never to commit them again. Also, ask God to forgive the sins you don't remember doing and the ones you are not even aware of committing, ask Him to reveal them to you, and ask Him to reveal those He reveals and help you to repent.

Have you been born again?

"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16

Paul and Silas's jailer asked them in ACTS 16:30 ..."Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Their answer was as simple as this in ACTS 16:31 ..."Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved..." Simple as that.

That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.- Romans 10:9-13.

please remember me and my family in your prayers today remember my son in law

Meditating on Matthew 22:37

"You shall love the LORD your God with all of your heart, with all of your soul, with all of your mind."

This verse has come to me repeatedly over the past week or so. It is so lovely. I so want to live it out.

I would like to hear from others what they think loving God with all of one's heart means.

or

What loving God with all of one's soul means

or

What loving God with all of one's mind means.

Being the greatest commandments, as Jesus said, I would like to understand it better and learn to live it out better. I appreciate anyone responding. Thanks

That do mean to give all you are away to God. Every second you have any consciousness of life, and since you have given it all away, you will not demand rulers rights over what is experienced. This makes it possible for God to terminate all anger from your expression, and all anger present will alert you that you are keeping something for yourself you now can give to God. This process happens within you and begins to purify all your acts.

Therefore Christ tolerated and drank His passion with love, for everything He had given in the hands of His allmighty Father.

I have been having seizures over the past month or so and the doctors can't figure out why. It's been very traumatic.The anxiety and depression associated with the seizures is becoming more than I can bear. Please pray that the Lord will give me victory over these challenges. It's also been stressful for my family, so they need prayers for peace as well.

Who ARE YOU? 2 Corinthians 5:17!

You cannot approach God in your natural birth! You are still in Adam and all ethnic groups have to come to God by the blood of the cross. John 14:6.

Salvation didn't come by genealogy religion or ethnic group Salvation didn't come by anything Adam had to offer. Salvation came by the seed of the woman that's Christ.

There's your new birth.

If you belong to any ethnic group, religion, church or political party, without Christ you will be told I never knew you.

Matthew 7:21-23.

Abraham was asked to leave his father's pagan land and was promise a land flowing with milk and honey. In Hebrews it says this is the new Jerusalem. Hebrews 11:8-10.

God said he will make a nation out of Abraham. (There is no value in the pagan land in which he came and there was no value in him when he came) He had to come to God by instrument of faith to receive grace, "as do we".

We are the seed of Abraham and sons of God through faith.

Salvation didn't come by the nation of Israel. The nation of Israel demonstrated there is no good thing in the flesh.

God will put his spirit in Israel and Israel as a nation will be saved as we. Acts 15:8-11.

There will be a new fold and One shepherd. John 10:16.

God bless and good night.

Please pray for healing , safety , blessing for Mona , Magdy, Manal Noshy in Jesus Name . Amen Thank you

Amen Good night, Gigi.

God bless.

Revelation 2:12-29.

Part 3.

Letters to Pergamos and Thyatira.

And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

19) I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

20) Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

21) And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not.

22) Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.

23) And I will kill her children with death; and all the churches shall know that I am he which searcheth the reins and hearts: and I will give unto every one of you according to your works.

24) But unto you I say, and unto the rest in Thyatira, as many as have not this doctrine, and which have not known the depths of Satan, as they speak; I will put upon you none other burden.

25) But that which ye have already hold fast till I come.

26) And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations:

27) And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.

28) And I will give him the morning star.

29) He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches.

Again, we have the commendation in verse 19.

Verse 20 we have the condemnation for suffering or allowing that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

Verses 24-29 we see he is not accusing all of them for committing fornication.

The rebuke is to those who suffer it.

Revelation 2:12-29.

Part 2.

Letters to Pergamos and Thyatira.

The mention of Balaam referred to being spiritually unchaste, married to the world (sound like the translation of the city's name?), selling their spiritual gifts for profit and sacrificing eternal riches for temporal gain. Sounds a lot like our world today.

Look at Revelation 2:14-16. and notice what the complaint is! obviously spiritual fornication is the indictment but look at what else is often overlooked.

First notice the commendation he gives them in verse 13.

"I know thy works, and where thou dwellest, even where Satan's seat is: and thou holdest fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, even in those days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who was slain among you, where Satan dwelleth".

Now notice the rebuke.

But I have a few things against thee, (BECAUSE THOUHAST THERE "THEM" THAT HOLD THE DOCTRINE OF BALAAM,) who taught Balac to cast a stumblingblock before the children of Israel, to eat things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit fornication.

(SO HAST THOU ALSO "THEM" THAT HOLD THE DOCTRINE OF THE NICOLAITANS,) which thing I hate.

Repent; or else I will come unto thee quickly and will fight against them with the sword of my mouth.

The Lord is not accusing all of them for fornication, but he is condemning them for suffering it or allowing it.

You see the same thing in the Letter to Thyatira. It come across clearer.

Revelation 2:18-29.

And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass;

I know thy works, and charity, and service, and faith, and thy patience, and thy works; and the last to be more than the first.

Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee,.. (BECAUSE THOU SUFFEREST THAT WOMAN JEZEBEL).., which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.

See Part 3.

Leviticus 21:13 makes it clear about the penalties for such behaviors in O.T. times. Deuteronomy 23:17 and other verses such as 1 Kings 14:24 show the cult practices involved either prostitutes or sodomites involved in worshipping of demonic gods and the associated rituals.

It has been said that such practices were also done with children and/or slaves in ancient Rome. It has also been stated that the verses about "like the time of Lot" may have referred to same sex marriages at the time.

The intentions of the heart are addressed in scriptures with sins such as adultery and violence (or thoughts of murder) against a brother. It is the mind where all sins begin. God's design is not just a physical one but spiritual as well; making two come together as one is only possible with a man and a woman; and is only approved by God by the covenant made in a marriage vow. Without such things; one becomes one flesh with someone but without the Lord having established the union; basically Satan has become the one in charge.

The whole cultural and lifestyle part of living in relationships not heterosexual is something apparently that was missing with such deviancy in ancient times. It was a sick cultural caste system sort of mentality where someone was the perpetrator and another a victim (that is the best I can put it here).

One of the most encouraging things to go is to see (especially on You Tube) the MANY testimonies of those who used to live that kind of lifestyle who have come to Christ. Becket Cook is one such example; who has interviewed others; including Rosanna Butterfield who was patiently discipled by a former Pastor of mine (Ken Smith) over 2 years time who is now married with 4 kids. There is much more to her story besides her past lifestyle-I highly recommend that you read her book "an unlikely convert" (can't recall the full title). God can and will give a close bond of friendship that is Agape love that is in no way sensual like others.

Texsis,

It is most likely a very good thing to go without T.V. for 18 years! There definitely is plenty of evil junk on T.V. and in movies, on internet sites, and just all around us. May you be blessed for your refusal to engage in this aspect of our "culture"

We like to watch football and news and cooking shows. We are sort of homebodies since covid hit. We get out often, but not like we used to. I need to do what I can to avoid getting respiratory viruses, as my airways get very reactive to the viruses. So, I am thankful I could finally get back to gardening this past season since my back pain is so improved. Thank you Jesus!

Texsis, I hope that you and your children grow in love and grace with one another. May your children grow to love Jesus above all else and that as a family, you will always be able to celebrate the Lord together.

Good evening S. Spencer,

I HATE racism and prejudice of any kind. So, it saddens me to read it on this site. But Jesus died for this person, too. We all have our faults and faulty thinking. This person has faulty thinking that is not grounded in historical facts. But we can pray for him.

As to reaching lukewarm Christians, certainly our example of commitment to the Lord and our sincere love for Him may draw some into a deeper walk with Him. Engaging such in bible study can be fruitful with any believer, but with lukewarm ones, being in a very focused group in the Word may give opportunity for the Holy Spirit to move them past their middle of the road-don't upset the apple cart approach to their faith.

As far as leadership in churches, we should certainly pray regularly for them.

But in the end, it is the Lord who will set them straight because He loves them and will finish the work begun in each believer.

Have a good night, Steven. We'll meet again on here tomorrow.

Pls.pray for my health that I may have always in good condition because I had scoliosis and my body (specially my back) always hurts. I already undergone a heart surgery 3o+ years ago. Pls.pray that I'm in good health always because nowadays really very hard because of our situation. Pls. Pray that our Almighty God father bless me and protect me and my family.

Thank you and God bless

Revelation 2:12-29.

Part 1.

We know spirit of the world is prideful and causes partiality obviously racially and also economically. "That is the world" A carnal or false Christian will hide this in their heart also. When we see a Christian slip into this, we should talk to him in a way scripture tells us to.

When we see the world do what it has been doing since the world began and will continue until Christ return, we shouldn't act surprised and use the opportunity to open scripture.

"Pergamos". Pergamum ("married") - from the Greek word pergamos, which is a combination of two Greek words: pergos and gamos. These words combine to mean either "citadel" or "united by marriage.

You will find the world has influenced Church because they joined it.

I have visited 3 different types of churches. A predominantly white church. A predominantly black church and a mixed church. I have seen the same level of partiality in all 3 Churches from a leadership position. This obviously can stunt the spiritual growth of a church.

What is sad is that don't necessarily define the lukewarm group.

That represents the Cold members, probably the false Christian. However, this group can probably be reached easier than the next group.

This is the group that don't say anything because they like the numbers, position, praise or just don't have that fight in them or don't care. these numbers, praises, and comfort cause them to say I'm in need of nothing. Therefore, this group love their Lukewarm comfortable position.

How do we witness to a world that doesn't fill they need to change, Afterall what can we tell them if we look and sound the way they do? They look for a president, ruler or Government to change the world.

We're looking for Revelation 21:1-4.

Some hold the view the millennium kingdom has already started and it up the church to prepare the way before Christ returns.

That is not a view I hold but we are not getting into that here.

any help or comments welcomed
