If you go back to the original question that I was answering , you will see that it was about wether we should pray to the saints to ask them for their help . It was not about us , alive Christians praying for each other .

Please pray that I grow closer to God and so does my boyfriend:)))

I love king James Bible

thanks so much Earl for your heartwarming reply.

That is not quite right dear Jacqui.

Romans 15:30-31

"Now I beseech you, brethren, for the Lord Jesus Christ's sake, and for the love of the Spirit, that ye strive together with me in your prayers to God for me;

That I may be delivered from them that do not believe in Judaea; and that my service which I have for Jerusalem may be accepted of the saints;"

Ephesians 6:19-20

"Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak."

Colossians 4:2-3

"Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving;

Withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ, for which I am also in bonds"

1 Thessalonians 5:25

"Brethren, pray for us (Paul says)."

Acts 12:5

"Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him."

And many many more. If Perer and Paul needed prayers from others how necessary it is for us to pray for each other?

James 5:16

"Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much."

Hello Curious.

You are right saying that the saints are those that have made a covenant with God by sacrifice. Haven't we, christians, made a covenant with God by the sacrifice not of a lamp or a bull but with the sacrifice of God's Lamp, the Son of the God, Jesus Christ? If those who were not sanctified by the Spirit were called saints, how much more appropriate is for us who are baptised in the Spirit to be called so?

Please read how apostle Paul calls the believers in every church he addesses.

i.e. 1 Corinthians 1:2 "Unto the church of God which is at Corinth, to them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be SAINTS, with all that in every place call upon the name of Jesus Christ our Lord, both theirs and ours:"

Ephesians 1:1 "Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, to the SAINTS which are at Ephesus, and to the faithful in Christ Jesus"

Colossians 1:2 "To the SAINTS and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ."

And he calls saints all the LIVING BELIEVERS in all churches he has written letters to. So the saints are God's people from all over the nations through all the ages, dead and alive. GBU

Brother Ronald:

I also believe that somewhere in the future, after the second resurrection, God's kingdom will be here on earth, and the saints will rule over them and judge them, and give to them the inheritance that was given to them, all this is in the prophets.

I do not believe it will only last 1000 years, but for eternity.

I believe the 1000 year reign, is for the firstfruits of the spirit, and they are reigning with Christ NOW, as they are harvested from the earth into the kingdom of God, men (angels, ministering spirits) in glorified bodies, the royal priesthood, and they will return with Christ and sow and reap the harvest of those in the second resurrection.

We all see dimly through a veil now, but we shall see clearly, when we we are harvested.

We should declare what light has been given to us and share that light, and as we become more mature, more light will be given to each of us.

All will result in:

1 Corinthians 15:28 And when all things SHALL BE subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject to him who put all things under him, that GOD MAY BE ALL IN ALL.

God Bless you! and keep sharing.

Kindly please pray for the healing of Deepak's mental illness. Thank you very much.

To answer your question, we should let the Bible tell us or define "Who" the "Saints" are. For the Bible says to lean NOT unto thine OWN understanding.

"Gather my saints together unto me; those that have made a covenant with me by sacrifice." Psalms 50:5 KJV



- according to scripture, The Israelites of the Bible are the only nation to make a covenant with God by sacrifice - "And Moses took the blood, and sprinkled it on the people, and said, Behold the blood of the COVENANT, which the LORD hath made with you concerning all these words." Exodus 24:8 KJV. Refer to Exodus 24:7 as well as they made a blood in, blood out agreement by the blood of an animal - sacrificed peace offerings of oxen unto the LORD.

"He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the LORD." Psalms 148:14 KJV - The word "even" throughout the Bible means "indeed". Knowing this, this is another verse that tells us the "Saints" of the Bible are the Israelites, which is all twelve tribes. The Bible defines itself for the most part if not all parts. Hope this helps, as the scriptures are the truth.

what about the tribe of Dan

Please pray for Christine who has stage 4 bone cancer and is in pain. The tumors have broken her back twice and now her neck. We are praying that Jesus will heal and strengthen her. Thank you for praying for Christine, our daughter.

Dear brethren, please join me in prayer.

I have been experiencing toil and severe hardship since 2018 where my businesses, job and relationship have failed. I hear strange noise of insects daily like I am in a forest, crawling sensations with periodic attacks on my health.

I want my destiny to open-up, with the hardship and struggle over.

Thank you.

Hey Zapenter,

There are many opinions on this, my understanding is Jesus is coming back to set up the kingdom on earth and I believe scripture supports a literal 1000 years. The events in Revelation skip around in the chapters which if we read straight through seem confusing at times. When Satan is cast down from heaven in Rev. 12 it starts, and in Rev.13 we see the beast rise out of the sea, which the sea can represent the abyss or bottomless pit. The beast was given 42 months not seven years.

We see the bottomless pit in Rev. 9, Rev. 11, Rev. 17, and Rev. 20. This place is the deepest darkest place where God has put the angels who left their first estate, 2 Pet.2:4 and Jude 1:6. This is where the beast will ascend from that is told us in Rev. 11 and 17 and where Satan will be for the 1000 years, Rev. 20.

If we see in Rev. 13 the beast has 42 months and we see in Rev. 11 that the two witnesses are given the same amount of time, 42 months so they are here at the same time. When the beast kills the two witnesses and that gets us to Rev. 19 the second coming of Jesus when heaven was opened, and we see Jesus on the white horse coming and the angel calls and gathers the fowls for the supper of the great God.

After the battle of Armageddon, the beast and the false prophet will be cast into the lake of fire and Satan will be cast into the bottomless pit and the 1000 years will begin, the first and only time Satan is put in the bottomless pit. After the 1000 years in Rev. 20:10, Satan is gone forever.

There is a lot more, and much I have left out this is just a very short kind of outline that I hope helps and does not confuse your study.

God bless,

RLW

I feel there's a spirit of witchcraft with a person i do not know but come across sometimes. she's 10 years younger than me and it seems everytime i come across her she has something i think it about it's unusually unexpected or unlikely. it's awkward because there's no way she can get something i'm thinking about and gets it "with a snap of a finger" and i don't think it's a coincidence either it's like she is reading my mind or something. i find it creepy. her behavior is disrespectful and she make videos with toys to make a living. nothing wrong with that but her viewers are children and with her behavior that's not good. i block her months ago and i don't know she use witchcraft on me because when i first discover her i knew something was off about her. she swears too. she also a part of the homosexual community and say she has pronouns which in reality i know she a young lady. God i ask to heal this young lady. she 16 and she is using witchcraft and in the homosexual community i pray that God heal her. i think she lives with her parents or guardian. the fact she 16 and i'm 26 isn't normal. she so young and to use witchcraft on people who you don't know and try to get their attention isn't good. whatever going on with her i hope God heal her. she also autistic. pray for this young lady. she lost and needs to be heal. amen.

Blessed be God,blessed be Infant Jesus,blessed be Our Lady in all her different forms,blessed be all the spirits,saints,apostles,martyrs,all the guardian angels of my life and family members,all the guiding and governing angels and spirits at my work place,all the governing forces in the Universe,all the God's in the entire Universe and beyond. Thunderously praise and glorify Infant Jesus in the entire Universe and beyond

"Great falling away": Revelations 9:15 talks of a third of mankind died. What could have happened? I think that the covid mRNA vaccines are just that. The chapter talks about demons having a King over them ( Appollo) and scorpions giving poison and being the cause of the deaths in revelations 9:15 or thereabouts. These are vaccines and the king over them is the Hippocratic oath that doctors take.

This , I believe is the mark of the beast of revelations 13 and 14. Why? The most crucial reason for this belief is that the vaccines change the human DNA by a process called reverse transcriptase. Thay add something to God's creation of human DNA and it is forever passed on through the lineage of anyone who takes the vaccines.

Christ said in Matthew 24 that as it was in the time of Noah so shall it be in the time of the coming of the Son of man. In Noah's time the "sons of God" (demons cast out of Heaven) liaised with women and the human DNA was corrupted. In Genesis chapter 6 only Noah was perfect. The word "perfect" is the same word of the Exodus where an unblemished lamb was sacrificed. It refers to physical perfection... God's creation.

This is what the great falling away refers to. Over 5,000,000,000 people have taken the vaccines that change the DNA. Equally doctors have said that ANYONE who has taken the vaccines WILL die soon. This refers to the "four winds ( Moderna, Pfizer, AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson)" that are kept for a particular hour, day , and year in Revelations 6 , I think. They are told not to hurt trees or grass but ONLY those men who don't have the seal of God in their foreheads. In other words , those who reject Christ. Revelations chapter 9 says a third of mankind died. That's 2,500,000,000 people. That , I believe , is the great falling away.

Sitting in the temple of Christ... are our bodies not the temple of God. He has already done the deed

Dear Brother/Sister.

Praise the Lord.

I have a 9yrs old son by name Joel Joshua Martin. He is studying in 4th std. He is very naughty and mischievous boy. He was good at studies all these days but all of a sudden, I don't know what happened to him in recent days he is not studying well. He has scored very very less marks in his exams. He has not at all attended the questions. I was shocked to see answer sheets and marks which is below average. I was totally in tears and I don't know how to handle this.

He has become so disobedient and he is not ready to listen anything from my end. I am really worried and scared about his future. I want him to be a god fearing, obedient and brilliant student as well.

I kindly request you pray for his transformation and studies so that he can come out with a flying colour. Please keep him in your prayers.

With prayers

Shuba

my son-Brett-is on life support-he had been set free from drinking-

he really thought a few friendly drinks would not harm him

please pray for him and all others/pills and alcohol does not mix well

God Bless

I meant to say that we are sinful. oops

Way to go, Earl. Such a good post!

Hi Lat, my perspective is that what God created is good, but we have a choice in how we use God's gifts for good or for evil. Emotions aren't inherantly bad. Jesus expressed anger for example and that wasn't bad. If someone hurt one of my family members I would be ok with being angry for a period of time, but what actions people may take as a result of their feeling can be good or evil. Anger is not the same as hurting someone, for example. Those are 2 separate things.

People always have a moral decision to make and we always have a way to escape sin. Also people have more control of their emotions than what most people admit. People even have totally opposite emotions for the exact same circumstances. For example, someone may get a flat tire and be furious, but someone else may not care and be happy and content. For example if you were just married you would probably let it slide. If you just got a promotion or just won the lottery right before getting a flat tire I doubt you'd choose to have too negative of emotions over it. I don't know if this is common knowlege or not, but I'm surprised how many people I observe who assume they have no control over it as if they are a victim of their emotions that they themselves choose to have. God bless.

I haven't been on here in a while but use the mobile version to look up as I have been studying the Book of Revelation online with Senior Pastor Gary Hamrick (Cornerstone Chapel) all 22 chapters he teaches online on Youtube. It is not an easy subject to learn without a senior Bible Scholar assisting and interpreting each paragraph at a time. I'm starting it again for a 4th round (with my daughter) then will be able to understand many questions here with more confidence. My takeaway is this...we are in the end days and Jesus is coming soon. I believe we can stall that by turning our sins around, especially those elected officials, but it takes a nation of people to speak up, speak truth and don't be passive or silent. Get out and VOTE in overwhelming numbers. It's hard to cheat when everyone votes! I could read Revelation over and over again and never get bored! God Bless, Lisanne

Chuck:

This is one of the hardest things for man to grasp.

Christ is the body of his Father and his God. Christ said of myself I can do nothing, It is his Father, the life of Christ, that CAUSES Christ to do the Father's WILL.

When Christ was crucified he commended his LIFE back to his Father, and Christ's body died because the Life of the Father departed from it.

His BODY was all mankind, sinful flesh, it died, sinful flesh died on that cross, CHRIST'S body arose because the Father put his life back into Christ, all mankind arose, as a new creation, we are the body of Christ, Christ is the LIFE IN US, we do what the life of Christ CAUSES us to do.

Philippians 2:13 For it God (Christ in us) that worketh IN YOU both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

Ezekiel 36:27 I will put my spirit within you, and CAUSE you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgements, and do them.

Jeremiah 51:20 Thou (my body) art my battle axe and weapons of war, for with thee (my body) will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee (my body) will I destroy the kingdoms.

Revelation 2:26 He that overcometh (deception) and keepeth MY WORKS unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations.

If you understand this, then Philippians 4:13-19 will make more sense to you.

God Bless You!

Why does God give us emotions and then not want us to use them?? I'm having angry issues and trouble with jealousy! Not as bad as I use to but still there!

In philippians 4:13 i have strength in jesus!!!! my questions is verses 19 god will supply all my needs do to his riches !!!!!!! is it okay to ask for good friendships and company an a loving helpful companionship in my sometimes overwhelming struggles !!!!! or maybe i need to leave as overall overwhelming powers as this is difficult so to distracted me from god's plan ?????? how am i to knowing ????? please please pray so that i may find the answer !!!! and possibly i had an didn't realize it !!!-????

Zapenter:

What is the bottomless pit?

It is the grave.

Who has the keys to death and the grave?

Christ has the keys to the bottomless pit.

Who arose out of the bottomless pit?

Christ arose out of death and the grave.

Who is Satan that is cast into the bottomless (the grave)?

The princes of this world, that die still in deception of the gospel of the kingdom of God

Who is the beast?

The beast is the forth kingdom on earth, the kingdom of God. ( Daniel 7:23)

What is the 1000 years?

It's the day of the Lord, one day is as a thousand years, so far it has been 2000 years, and those that have departed during that time have been reigning with Christ, study the parable of the workers in the vineyard ( Matthew 20:1-16).

Revelation 11:7 And when they (the two witnesses, the law and prophets, foretelling of Christ) shall have finished their testimony) the beast (the forth kingdom on earth, the kingdom of God, Luke 16:16) that asscened out of the bottomless pit shall make war with them and shall overcome them and, kill them (they prophesied of Christ's death on the cross).

Revelation is the revealing of Jesus Christ, there is not a seven year tribulation, God's children are caught up to him one at a time.

Revelation is all symbolic of the fulfillment of the kingdom of God.

All the answers are in Mosses and the prophets.

Amos 3:7 Surely the Lord GOD will do nothing, but he revealth his secret unto his servants the prophets.

I was raised in a Baptist church, they are as deceived as are all the other churches.

You learn God's word by going into the wilderness ( Mark 1:12)

God Bless You!
