Hello, Ayen O,

I see your request was "before dawn " I hope you've made it into another evening.

1st I pray you will never be tempted to hurt, harm or destroy yourself ever. You are created by GOD ALMIGHTY in HIS image. Psalms 139, in Psalms 139:14, it says fearfully & wonderfully made, fearfully meaning; apprehension something bad will happen. Amazingly GOD knew & knows with each of us, we have the potential to do & choose bad._.._however HE created with mercy & calles us "wonderful" keep reading & amazingly we see Psalms 139:17 GOD's thoughts are " precious" towards us, they number more than sand, HIS precious thoughts for & towards us. & like David who wrote Psalms 139:18, we are still with thee, if & when we awake. Difficulties can seem impossible, even people of the Bible went through despairing of life itself, yet everyone that chose life over death, had a better end. In this earth & in the End. Revelation 11:18,

Jesus = Matthew 26:38-42, Luke 24:34,

Jacob aka Israel = Genesis 37:35, Genesis 45:27,

Elijah = 1Kings 19:4, 2Kings 2:11,

Not good; Judas= Matthew 27:4-8, 2Samuel 17:23,

Choose life, that you might live Deuteronomy 30:19,

Hopefully these are helpful

Dear Heavenly Father, we come to You now in the name of Jesus and ask that You will release Mary's mom from alcoholism.

Thank you, S. Spencer, Appreciate your response and the Scripture to go along. Much love.

I need prayers for my presidential pardon application. I was convinced in 2009 when I was 20 years old and now im not that person anymore. The criminal record is holding me as soon as I get a job and I disclose my criminal record they reject me. From 2010 when I got out of prison I've been living a crime free life and never been arrested or committed any crime. But the Department of Justice says they only expunge criminal records for people who were not sentenced direct imprisonment . Please i need prayers for my application to be successful.

help lord them my fambam

Lamentations 5:10, malnutrition in humans especially elderly can cause blackening under skin, broken blood vessels also, it can affect all natural colors of people. The scripture seems to clearly point to the unnatural coloration of malnutrition, not the natural vast variations of skin colors He Created.

Please pray for my 85 yr old father. My mother passed away over a year ago .. after 64 yrs marriage and now my father is seeing a much younger woman who we believe does not have the best intention.

Is it better to be cremated or buried?

Interestingly this site has the 1611 version. It doesn't include that book. However I've heard of a version approximately 150+ years later that may have included that book. Is that a book added to scripture as warned about? Deuteronomy & Revelation 22:19,

By simple surface study, it seems not to be in the Bible before or after & debated as not GOD's WORD.

I myself stay away from it because some things I've heard say in it, contradict Bible scripture. If you're in question read Tobit in 1611, Philippians 2, Romans 8:14, Hebrews 1:13,14, Matthew 22:30,

I humbly recommend to you, please read the Word within Genesis to Revelation, study get to know the scriptures well, ask for wisdom James 1:5 & discerment of Truth before looking into the other, if you do at all

Hopefully these are helpful in your searching

To follow up the last response in answer to your final question. "The Unpardonable Sin" is simply Denial of the Holy Spirit/ Jesus The Christ/ God our Heavenly Father above.

Godspeed

Please pray for salvation for my two grown children and 7 grandchildren. Please pray that both my children will get off of drugs and that none of my grandchildren will go down that same path.

Please pray that my copd will be healed and that I will be able to breathe better so I can become active again and have a better quality of life. I need to be able to help out more at my church and keep my home in good shape, but I just don't have the energy. It is so depressing and stressful.

Thank you so much for your offer to pray, even though you don't know us. What a blessing! May God richly bless each and every one of you!

Psalms 25:14,

Secret - consultation, intimacy, Hebrew word translation into "cowd" company of persons (in close deliberation)

Virginia G. Cantu, Actually you've got it right, important part "GOD hates evil". Proverbs 3:32, Ecclesiastes 12:14. He also will direct us, & sometimes even give us insight into His plans. Psalms 73:24, Matthew 6:6, Deuteronomy 29:29, Psalms 91:1, Daniel 2, Daniel was given the secret dream the ruler had & the interpretation meaning. Amos 3:7,

Even the secret of Christ Jesus the promised Messiah= Romans 16:24-27,

Hopefully these are helpful

Hi Ayen, I am grateful to hear from you. Please hang in there. You got a lot of great responses from Christian brothers and sisters wanting to help. Praying these lift you up.

"And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do." Luke 12:4 KJV

I think it means we don't have to be afraid of others. They don't control us.

Philippians 4:10-13 - Paul was in prison, beaten, had all kinds of hardship, people wanted to kill him, was hungry, he probably dealt with guilt from his past, he walked long distances and stayed in random places regularly. But (verse 11) he said he found the secret of being content. This means our external circumstances don't affect our emotional state of joy in the Lord or contentment as much as people commonly assume.

"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV

This means to me that God is aware of our circumstance and won't let us be trapped in a situation of sin. We always have a way out.

One way to love and be fair to yourself is by challenging any negative ideas to see if they are based on truth or not. Not all thoughts are true and its ok to gently challenge them.

For example I used to think bad things about myself and the belief crippled me for some years, but I later discovered weren't true. It was liberating and felt free realizing this.

If you were to start this challenge I would start by re-examining statements you said like "I cannot get anywhere in life" or "GOD will not stop Satan's bchildren from stopping me" and ask for each: is that really true? Is there any evidence for this or what is this idea based on? Is it true for others? What if it isn't true? What is the evidence of it not being true?"

I need prayers for my mom. She's battling alcoholism and it's not good.. it's getting worse. Please be in prayer with me!

God's Word says all throughout that when women are Ruling Over and/or Leading Men/ Males. Period. It is an reprehensible and an abomination thing in the sight of God our Heavenly Father above. However, from a "Wag The Dog" perspective God Himself in His Word gave us a few examples of Women in Leadership: in OT- Gen (Eve), Ruth, 1 Kings (Jezebel), Esther; NT- Mary(s), Martha and re-mentions of those Women, along with others, in the OT.

Godspeed

Dear Lord, Liberate my family from dark forces and help me to be a blessing to my family. Bless me financially and connect me with a helper that will move me to a better part of the world. Amen!

Please pray for a husband for me. Thank you

Please pray for a simple fix for my foot problem no surgery and complete healing.

I really appreciate your prayers!

There are no passages where women were said to be preaching a sermon. Paul makes it clear as to their role in church not having "authority" over a man ( 1 Timothy 2:12). 1 Corinthians 14:34 shows where women were told to be silent in churches and ask questions at home. The fact that women are mentioned prophesying and praying in corporate worship certainly doesn't mean that nothing can be said ( 1 Cor. 11:5). The qualifier here should be noted that women were asking questions and likely causing other disturbances during a worship service. It fits in with the idea of orderly worship in what was the most disorderly church mentioned in scripture in Corinth.

There is certainly agreement anywhere that I know of in traditional and Reformed circles that women have a role in teaching children and also guiding other women in knowledge of the scriptures. This is clear from the women that Paul Himself commends such as Lydia ( Acts 16:11-15 and elsewhere). There was teaching of Godly men who were children of women as well that are mentioned. There are also rules for Christian women as well as men whose spouses were not believers in regard to staying with them if they were agreeable and in some sense; "winning them over" ( 1 Peter 3:2). The concept of submission is clear in scripture as to women; as well as husbands loving in a sacrificial manner as Christ loved the church ( Eph. 5:25). Many men would like to bypass their responsibilities in this regard.

As to any sort of public forum outside a large congregational formal worship service obviously there are gray areas. I would challenge you to find ANY female preachers that are not in some serious doctrinal error (although men are getting harder to find today as well). I have certainly read brilliant writings such as Amy Van Gerpen's book on Revelation (which may finally be complete after years of work). I don't think she does self promoting; but in my opinion it has the most detailed cross references anywhere.

Psalm 41. This passage of scripture; without much question refers to David's late stage illness as shown in 1 Kings 1:1-4. There are statements about God preserving those physically in their illnesses who consider the poor (verse 1). This may not be something that we consider today; but it is worth noting in places such as the USA that have up until now been affluent compared with much of the world.

Once again as I have established a couple times with previous Psalms it would appear that David's state was due to sinful actions earlier (v. 4). As to any specific sexually transmitted disease I won't speculate. The passage following in verses 5 through 8 do show how his enemies sought out his death; and certainly that could have been due to the many wives and or concubines that David maintained; and those relations from other nations that by default would have been intertwined in these personal affairs. Secondary to this but also related is the rivalry from Absolom and other enemies that God Himself promised due to David's sin as seen in 2 Samuel 12. He was forgiven but there were consequences to his actions.

Verse 9 certainly is a Messianic prophecy; albeit fits in with David's situation (although it is hard to tell WHO exactly it would have referred to in his case).

The rest of the Psalm once again could have application to David and at least in a general sense to Christ in regard to victory over His enemies; and favor with God as well as His place as established in heaven at the right hand of God. (verses 10-12). It finally ends with the eternal nature of God and His blessedness.

It probably doesn't need repeating at this point how the same themes here continue repeatedly; namely prophecies applicable to David and Christ; David's sufferings; trust in God's grace and trust in all His promises. The Hebrew phoenetic and poetic structure has to be delved into to be discovered; and the sound of the original songs sadly have not been preserved.

(Part 2)

So what gives us that authority? It's because it is something that has already been established in heaven.



Thou shalt bind that which has been bound already in heaven. It is a condition. And thou shall loose on earth things that shall have been loosed in heaven already.



So the church is here to declare that which has already been determined in heaven. We are only proclaimers!



What right do we have to tell anybody that they need to receive Christ and His death for them on the cross to be saved?



We have the authority to tell people that we've got the key. We have got the key that unlocks the door. His name is Jesus!



If you receive Him, I have the authority to tell you that you have been loosed from your sins. If you refuse Him, I have the authority to tell you that if you continue to reject Him throughout your whole life, you'll be bound to your sins and you will die in your sins.



That is pretty authoritative! But I didn't make that up. That is the authority God has given to the church, you and I.

I hope what I along with T Levis has share helps you out in your study on binding and loosing.

Blessings in Christ Jesus!

Betty,

If I might piggyback off what T Levis has shared, in Matthew Chapter 16 it says, "and I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven:" Here it is singular. But in Chapter 18 it is plural. So it is not just Peter, it is all of them!



Now, "keys" is a Hebrew symbol of authority. A person that had the keys was in charge.



You can go back to some of the earlier documents in the Old Testament and see that the person that had the keys was in charge.



And some of the kings would get a little frustrated because whoever had the keys was in charge, and if you can't find him, of course you make the king mad, and they would have a new key bearer pretty soon!



He says I'll give you the keys. I'll give you the authority. We know that keys unlock things for entrance.



It says, and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.



Let me share with you what it is literally saying from the Greek:



"Whatsoever thou shall bind on earth, shall have been bound in heaven."



Please know that this is very important to understand, and I'll give it to you again. It reads "And whatsoever thou shall bind on earth shall (have been) bound in heaven, and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth, shall (have been) loosed in heaven."



Here's the importance of those Perfect Tense verbs in the Greek text:



Jesus is not giving them and the church the authority to go around binding and loosing. We see this in Chapter 18, and Matthew tells us that it has do with sin.



In 1 John 3:8, the word "loosed" is used for how Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil. It is the word loosed.



When a person gets saved, they are loosed from Satan. So the church has authority to either bind someone to their sins or loose them from their sins.

I'm running out of space, so I will send a part 2
