Lord God, in the name of Jesus Christ, we bind together asking that every stronghold be broken in Jamal's life.

Give him the strength AND the desire to fully repent and walk away from every thing that separates him from You!

Help Jamal find good God fearing Holy Ghost filled fellowship. Put up a hedge of protection around his life and help him work out his salvation with fear and trembling.

Again, I ask these things in The name above every other name, the only name given among men whereby we must be saved, Christ Jesus. Amen.

And we thank You Father that You that we KNOW You hear us! And the answer is on the way.

Delmarie. God is all love that being true why would God judge a child who

Doesn't grasp or who hadn't been instructed. The same idea applies if someone

Is not of a sound mind so that the can understand God's Word and then how Would

They be held accountable. In the gospels many times Jesus Christ ministered to

Huge Crowds then taught God's Word. So they were healed so they could receive. There is a point in a young person of accountability. The scriptures say bring a child

Up in the word (not exact quote) and when he is old he will not depart from it.

There is more to be shared.

Urgent prayer request for a young man who is trying to fix his life. He may be in serious danger, physically and spiritually.

Pray for salvation AND that NO WEAPON Formed against him would prosper.

They already tried to kill him once to keep him quiet, and they almost succeeded but the Lord spared his life.

Now "they" are trying to come back into his life through his phony psychopathic girlfriend who is using him and setting him up. And he cannot see it.

God knows all about it. Please pray. And please pray for his momma, that I will trust the Lord at all times concerning this matter. Jesus give me wisdom. Help me pray.

H. Pokey Nahr. Yes James was saved and he was addressing born

Again Jews still zealous for the law and not after the freedom in Christ.

As it states the law was bondage Galatians ,5:1-18. There were many

Jews born again still walking in the law and condemning gentiles this

Caused great division in the church. Paul addressed this quite often

And there's more to this I just touched on the subject.

Chris. Walking in Christ is always all inspiration heart than persperation

5 senses old man nature, let as in allow the spirit to energize your heart

And renew your mind to do the Will God has for your life.

Hi Don,

Thanks and welcome to the site,

You probably been on for a while now, I've been absent due to work related commitments.

I'm doing some catching up and read a few of your replies.

I and many others believe the bible is all you need to feed on the Lord. You can use computer search engines and dig up the history of other men material but nothing beats your person to God relationship through his word. after all it's the Holyspirit that does the teaching not man or the internet.

You may use these sources as methods to assist you with truth they're helpful. the internet has a 100 answers on every topic.

But Jesus says my sheep hear my voice. His lost sheep will find him.

God bless you.

Good Morning Everyone,

Please pray for strength in my legs to be restored.

Psalms 150:6 - Let every thing that hath breath praise the LORD. Praise ye the LORD.

Richard, Just a few thoughts on Rev. 17,18. The figures of speech in prophecy can be many with various interpretations. We tend to apply it to what we know and are familiar with. A whore or harlot in the scripture is one who has many lovers (sources of affection). Some of the wording in these chapters suggests it is a church that lost their first love "Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird". she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow. The reason she could think she "is a queen" is she is married to the King. "I am no widow" is because he husband is "risen". "and shall see no sorrow" she can't lose her salvation. Notice that she has "become" the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird. At one time she wasn't the habitation of devils etc. When I read Revelation I try to apply only what the Bible says about the different things. It seems to take on spiritual meaning and warning. Example: Rev. 8:10,11 And the third angel sounded, and there fell a great star from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the fountains of waters; And the name of the star is called Wormwood: and the third part of the waters became wormwood; and many men died of the waters, because they were made bitter. Possible meaning: star fell from heaven (minister of the word falls from truth) the 3rd part of the truth is altered (not all of it yet). The water (Word) becomes Wormwood (poisoned) and many men died (spiritually) because they were made bitter.

S.Spencer. Amen brother the gift ministries in operation started in the grace

Administration the body of Christ.

Dear Annette, Jesus feels your pain as He too suffered a loss when Lazurus died, even knowing that He was going to raise His friend from the dead.

Be comforted. Matthew 5:4 Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted.

Your big sister will rise from the grave when Jesus comes for His church during the rapture. 1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first...

I don't believe these caves are the same, Gregory. We do know the location of the Qumran caves where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found as there is an established site & national park there, but of the exact location of the cave where Lot & his daughters dwelt none can be sure, but the best theory around, I've given below.

The Qumran caves are located approximately NW of the Dead Sea, whereas Sodom & Gomorrah were presumed to be located to the South of the Dead Sea on the eastern flank (Sodom, in the area of ancient Zoar, was located some miles above Gomorrah). So when Lot fled Sodom, he & his daughters would have headed further east to find the cave, and from there he would have looked across to Sodom & south to Gomorrah, seeing the cities and the plain going "up as the smoke of a furnace" ( Genesis 19:28). I'm sorry that this information is the best I could find & certainly not meant to be definitive.

Jesus spoke in parables.

Believing His words requires time and meditation, discovering the truths found in the Holy Spirit.

Time and again, He uses the things in nature to illustrate what we need to know for the journey, a journey here and now, even unto eternal life!

It can be only explained in a way that introduces us to His words, Gods words and not mans! The word that will sanctify us, even purifying us creating the person He wants us to become.

Time spent pondering, He reveals Himself in the third person of what we define as the trinity.

The Holy Spirit is the light of the world, is the light of men, it moved upon the face of the deep. It came upon Mary, it finds its way even with the Angels. Most of all, we cannot do His will without Him! We cannot know the will of the Father and the Son without the Holy Spirit! You must know the Holy Spirit!

Are you waiting for His coming? He may come at any time.

Is the lamp in your hand the light that you need to meet Him? This light, held with the pure oil of the Holy Spirit?

Remember, take the time, make sure your vessel is trimmed and ready. He comes at a time you least expect!

Repent and be Baptized

please remember Kristie and me and our families in your prayers

I have carpal tunnel in Both of my hands and I have alot of faith in my God and I need prayer because surgery is not going to help only God can help me

I don't think that you need to remind anyone on here that none of us are Jesus . We are all Christians here , not dogs barking at each other .

You are correct in what you say , the early Jews didn't have any commentaries and I wish I had a dollar for how many times I've heard people on this site say that the Holy Spirit teaches them all things . If we all have the Spirit of Christ then why do we need commentaries , how many times does it say in the New Testament , even Jesus says , that the Spirit of Truth will teach us etc ? I need to be convinced in myself , no one , no human , can convince me of anything , only God's Word is pure and true and righteous and infallible . I trust Him .

What a lovely post , thankyou Don . More please !

S.Spencer. Amen Brother the church of Grace started pentecost and the

Gift ministries.

Thank You Lord dear God Father in heaven. Thank You for providing for us all so we will come home to You in the end. You God will never knock anyone down, but will always choose and believe that we will prevail in the holy name of Jesus Krisus. You know about all things!

Confess the sins to one another as Jesus has told us to do. We run to do so. Work on our salvation night and day if necessary. Love one another and praise God for all His gifts that He has given us. Both the humnelian gifts and earthly gifts.

Always remember that the kingdom of God is inside us all. Forever we will praise his name Amen.

Acts 20

Hi Gregory. If I have your question correct, 'now that I am a believer trusting in Jesus only to save me from sin's penalty, when did the promise of eternal life with the Father in Heaven commence?'

If correct, it is my belief that the promise of eternal life began immediately upon your new birth by God's Spirit. When we look at the Scriptures referring to eternal life, we see that it is synonymous to believing/placing one's trust in the Lord. John 3:36: "He that believeth on the Son HATH everlasting life." John 5:24: "He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, HATH everlasting life." John 6:47: "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me HATH everlasting life."

1 John 5:11-13: "And this is the record, that God HATH GIVEN to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that HATH the Son HATH life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that YE MAY KNOW THAT YE HAVE ETERNAL LIFE, and that ye may believe on the name of the Son of God."

All these verses indicate that eternal life is our present possession, i.e. 'you have it NOW'. As soon as our hearts were renewed & the Holy Spirit came to indwell us, our sin was dealt with, we became God's children, and our earthly walk was no longer uncertain, overcome with sin & living without hope in God's Love. And that is why the Apostle Paul stated in Philippians 3:20, "For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ". Paul understood that our conversation (Gk. politeuma: citizenship) had already begun in the heavenlies; that our earthly life now, is just an earthly sojourn - "our affections are set on things above, not on Earth" and "for here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come."

When once this earthly life was probably our only joy & hope, now IN CHRIST, we are but pilgrims here, gazing upward, confident & secure towards eternity.

Thank you brother. Every blessing.

Don I hope your family prayers gets you through this snake pit too .

Agreed, Chris. We all need to be teachable and receptive to how God does bring His Truth to us. This is what I think is being meek. It is an attitude of being submitted to God's ways for me and a willingness to go His way.

Was James Saved or still under the Law?

Where in the scriptures does it explain accountability of both children and handicapped people? Someone has posed a challenge hat a 5 year old Downs Syndrome man can not enter heaven. I know this is not of God. I want to present scripture to prove this false idea.

THE STORY OF ME AND MY KJV.---In one month I will have my 89th birthday. When my dad was this old I asked him to tell me about his mother and dad. He said his dad was an atheist, and used to whip his little sons with a blacksnake whip to make them work the cotton fields. The harvest was in Wichita Falls Texas, and they would travel all the way from Commerce Texas in a covered wagon to get there. His dad was always in a hurry to make camp before nightfall, so he would open the mules to a trot. He made the kids walk, but they had to also trot to keep up. Naturally, they became exhausted, but he would crack their knuckles if they tried to hang on to the wagon.

When I asked Dad about his mother, he said when he was about seven and his brother was about six, they were playing in the woods one day when they heard a woman loudly praying, her voice echoing through the trees. They sneaked up close to her, and discovered that it was their mother. She dared not pray at home. They never told her they heard her praying. My daughter searched grandmother's ancestry and found that she was a Quaker.

The last time I saw my grandmother was when I was only 16 years old. She was sitting in a rocking chair, smiling at me. On the table beside her lay her Bible. I know now that it was a KJV. My dad and uncle went through a hail of bullets in two world wars, both wounded; my oldest brother barely survived a Japanese suicide plane, and I survived the cutting edge of defense in the U. S. Air Force's Strategic Air Command. I believe we all survived because of my Grandmothers prayers, all of them hatched from the perfection she found in the words of her old faithful King James Bible, the KJV. I can't be sure, but I'll just bet you my Grandfather went to Heaven because he found it impossible to get through Grandma's KJV iron-clad prayers to go to Hell.

The birth of the Apostles.

UPON THIS ROCK I SHALL BUILD MY CHURCH.

He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?

And Simon Peter answered and said, THOU ART THE CHRIST, THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD. Matthew 16:15-16

Ephesians 2:19-20 Now therefore ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellowcitizens with the saints, and of the household of God;

And are built upon the FOUNDATION OF THE APOSTLES AND PROPHETS, Jesus Christ himself being the chief CORNER STONE;

In Luke 6:13 we see that Jesus chose who he would name Apostles.

"And when it was day, he called unto him his disciples: and of them he chose twelve, whom also he named apostles;

The question is when did the disciples start operating in the office of Apostles?

When was the foundation laid?

1 Corinthians 3:12 Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble;

Are we capable of building with gold, silver and precious stone without the dwelling of the Holyspirit?

We do know in Matthew 28:16-17 even after Jesus resurrected the disciples still doubted.

"Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.

And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted."

In Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus commissioned them to go out to all the world but not to depart from Jerusalem until they were filled with the Holyspirit.

Acts 1:4-5. Luke 24:49.

I believe not until they were filled with the Spirit that rock the church was built on begun. The disciples began to function in the office as Apostles.

Ephesians 4:10-12. He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)

AND HE GAVE SOME, APOSTLES; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;

For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:

He didn't do this until he ascended.

God bless.

Are the caves that Lot and his daughters dwelt in, the caves where they found the Dead Sea scrolls ?
