  • Chris - In Reply on 2 Chronicles 27:6 - 5 years ago
    Husbandry, as seen in 2 Chronicles 26:10 & 1 Corinthians 3:9, relate to farming, tending to crops or management of those affairs.

    In the 2 Chronicles passage, the people made Uzziah, a young man, a king in the place of his dead father, Amaziah. Uzziah is said to have been a cattleman & had vineyards. Thus stating that "he loved husbandry" = related to farming.

    In the 1 Corinthians passage, the apostle Paul had just been talking about people like himself or Apollos just being ordinary men & not to be revered & get a following. Rather they both, as for all believers, were appointed by God to perform ministry on Earth: he had a church planting ministry & Apollos helped build it up, but God brought the 'increase'. Again, these verses speak of the imagery of evangelism to the way farmers do their work in the field: the farmers were Paul & Apollos & we (those, the Church, built upon Christ the foundation Stone), are Gods 'husbandry' = the plants/crops that showed the work of those others & God bringing it all together.

    We serve a Mighty Good God. All we have to do is trust and obey, and He will fight our battles - everytime.

    Amen!
  • Delores M on Psalms 81:10 - 5 years ago
    Open your mouth wide and praise Me; tell everyone what I have done for you, and I will open the windows of heaven and bless you abundantly - that you will tell others of what I have dine fore you.
  • Chris - In Reply on Habakkuk 2 - 5 years ago
    Yours was indeed a wonderful testimony, Richard, & it truly gladdened our hearts to read of your persistence with reading God's Word and the Holy Spirit's subsequent meeting you at God's appointed time . Stay close to the Lord, read His precious Word often, talk to Him at anytime of the day or night - His Ear is always open to His childrens' voice. The enemy of our souls, the Devil, is also lurking about us to do all manner of evil against us: doubts, fears, discouragement, old sins, etc. Stand against him as Jesus did ( Matthew 4:1-11), using God's Word & the Spirit's Power against him, resist him & he will flee ( James 4:7).

    Welcome to God's family - all of us have been purchased by our Saviour's own precious blood, and not by anything we have done or could do ( Titus 3:5). Seek the Spirit's help in reading & understanding the Bible, but we're always around here to support you in the Word & victorious Christian living. Every blessing brother.
  • Charles Pineda Jr - In Reply on Psalms 94:16 - 5 years ago
    The Lord Almighty and His son Christ Jesus know that we appreciated your biblical supported comments.

    Our family is like Noah's during the great flood. Since February 2020, we have been housebound, but spreading the Good News of Christ Jesus can still be done. The other day while using my credit card to buy a product I had the opportunity to speak to a fellow named Tony or Antonio in Romania. I had an opportunity to share Christ Jesus with him, and as I suggest to the persons, many who are homeless, who attend the evening services at the Sacramento Union Gospel Mission, if they accepted Christ Jesus and are in need of direction to not only read the Proverbs, but to internalize them and make them a part of their decision making processes, Antonio indicated he would look for them when he got home.

    Reading is easy. Many people tell me that they have read the entire bible a few times, but many times their lifestyle and deeds don't support their reading and application of the scriptures to their own lives.

    Therefore, it is necessary,again, to internalized the instructions in the Proverbs that the Lord Almighty gave to King Solomon and a few others to give to us. The Proverbs of the Lord Almighty allow one to address any issue while on planet earth. Again, reading is easy, but internalizing of the instructions of the Proverbs are challenging and difficult, especially in the areas of the flesh. After eight years, I am still learning to INTERNALIZE THEM.

    While growing up no one ever stress the importance of God's Proverbs, but now as a man I fully understand their importance in our lives. If we had them in Grammar, Middle, and High school our society and nation would be much better. And for sure Satan's profanity would be taking a beating, and his movies and Dvd's would be soundly curtailed.

  • Sini Bitrus - In Reply on 2 Timothy 3:12 - 5 years ago
    In the beginning the was a word and the word was with God and the word was God, check the book of first john when God sent Angel Gabriel to Mary he sai.u will have a son ,, you can see hear is word from God to Angel Gabriel to Mary these also can proof u that Jesus is from the beginning of the world however its written its stated that is a sprit of God and you that God is spirit if God is spirit that means its Jesus with God himself
  • Mishael - In Reply on Habakkuk 2 - 5 years ago
    Your testimony was wonderful to read. One of perseverance and trust. People need to know that Jesus loves everybody, no matter what state they're in. Welcome to the comment rooms. There's a prayer room too.

    :). There's a link to Testimonies; which is a blessing to see how God is touching lives.
  • Heather Ann Lynn on Exodus 3:22 - 5 years ago
    ANSWERING, if the lord wants us to live in reverence to Gods creations, we must give reverence to that. We must take care of our bodies.

    Also, better safe than sorry.
  • Born-Again Christian George on Revelation 13:15 - 5 years ago
    We need God even if we have "mammon" ... Rich people need Jesus Christ too!

    But like Jesus Christ said, it's easier for a camel to pass through the "camel gates of a city" than a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Heaven & Messianic Age). It's easier to drop a camel's material things but it's harder to do in the case of a man.
  • Carleton - In Reply on Matthew 16 - 5 years ago
    Hi Robert, I am glad that you are aware of some of the verses where Jesus speaks. Another way of thinking of keys is as answers. The Church built on the rock of Jesus can by its connection to Jesus in Heaven can prove answers to those seeking Salvation. If one is drawn close to The Lord and His Church an answer may be in more detail, yet if one is critical or insincere an answer may be more vague.

    Jesus is the Truth, the Life and the Way. He is the answer key.

    Psalm 18:2 "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."

    Philippians 4:6-8 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

    I agree together with you as you lift up missionaries and evangelists everywhere. We pray for the Peace of Jerusalem to be blessed with your favor for all their needs; great and small. Please grant them safety against all their enemies. Thank you for warring angels that encompass them.

    In Jesus Name, so be it. Amen
  • Mishael - In Reply on 1 John 3:15 - 5 years ago
    David, Jesus loves you and so do I. May the Lord show you every day how much He loves you.

    13. Philippians 4:6-8 "Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things.
  • Mishael - In Reply on 1 John 3:15 - 5 years ago
    Where 2 or more are gathered together in Jesus name; He is in the midst of that prayer. In Jesus Name I am in agreement for the favor of the Lord to open doors for you in this move. I pray you would have His favor with all people that you encounter. I pray He would direct you to safe neighborhoods and near a church that you and your kids can grow as a Christian in.

    Every morning pray that all hindering and harassing demons be bound up by the Name of Jesus, and cast into outer darkness. Speak: Resist the devil and he must flee now! In Jesus Name.

    ((Take care of your bodies; eat and get enough rest. Ask for help. It helped me to just rent a storage unit to put non-essentials in. Give donations to an orphanage if you can.))

    We agree together, Lord, that we will submit to your guidance and help. Thank you for being my Savior in all things.

    1. Jeremiah 29:11 "'For I know the plans I have for you,' declares the Lord, 'plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.'"

    2. Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."

    3. Deuteronomy 31:8 "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

    4. Proverbs 3: 5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

    5. Psalm 32:8 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you."

    9. Isaiah 43:19 "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."

    11. Psalm 18:2 "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."

    May God bless
  • Carleton - In Reply on 1 John 3:15 - 5 years ago
    Likely their will be lots of Amens to this prayer.

    Amen.
  • Carleton - In Reply on Romans 13:4 - 5 years ago
    Hi, True, but even the stars of God call men to repentance. Josephus the historian, said something similar happened with Abraham.

    On the justification of Abraham, did this happen also outside of the law?
  • T - In Reply on Habakkuk 2 - 5 years ago
    Amen! God Bless You Brother!
  • Mishael - In Reply on 1 John 3:15 - 5 years ago
    Heavenly Father, I pray that you will cover this problem with your loving hand. While my mind is confused and struggles to find the right path, I know that you can heal any situation. Bring your peace and hope to my life. Hold me close to you so that my heart and mind may be kept safe. I pray that you will use the power of your truth to transform any darkness into your love and light. You are my fortress and my place of refuge. In times of difficulties, I turn to you for protection from harm. Thank you for protecting me and giving me all of my blessings in life. Amen.

    Read the Psalms David wrote in his later life. It helps me. They are songs and prayers. Your spirit needs to be fed on Gods Word right now.

    For help with your son, Proverbs helped me get through his teen years. When they're trying "to launch" it can be painful for both of you. Trust God and He'll get you through it.

  • Jake Hoek - In Reply on Romans 13:4 - 5 years ago
    Scripture tells us, nobody ever sought God. The Lord Jesus said, no one can come to me except the Father, which has sent me,draws. Everyone that hath learned of the Father cometh unto me. He that cometh unto me, (in that way) I will in no wise cast out. Other place, therefore I said unto you, ye cannot come unto me, except the Father draws him. From that many walked no more with Him. For a natural man standing next to Him, this is the normal response. Everyone spiritually dead will react the same way, for

    He that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. No works of man,period. Romans 4: 3-4.

  • Earl Bowman - In Reply on Revelation 22 - 5 years ago
    Marilyn, most, if not all, of revelation are symbols that represents teachings of the spirit that are hidden from our carnal eyes. Trees are symbolic of man, Jesus being symbolic as the tree of life, when we have our minds renewed, by becoming one with Christ, ( the coming of the Lord or the day of the Lord, which began at Pentecost) we also become one with the tree of life. Therefore, the tree (singular) on either side of the river is the first fruit of Christ (us). 1 Corinthians 15:20 but now is Christ risen from the dead, and is become the first fruits of them that slept. 21 for since by man came death, by man also the resurrection of the dead. 23 but every man in his (Gods) on order: Christ the first fruits; after ward they that are Christ at his coming. Isaiah 6:13 but yet in it (the land) shall be a tenth (first fruit), and it (first fruit) shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree (us), and as an oak (us), whose (Christs) substance (holy seed) is in them (first fruit), when they (first fruit) cast their (first fruit) leaves; so the holy seed (Christ) shall be the substance thereof. Romans 11:16 for if the first fruit be holy, the lump is also holy;and if the root be holy so are the branches. Ezekiel 47:12 and by the river (living water) upon the banks thereof, on this side and that side, shall grow all trees (of life;us) for meat (spiritual food; word of God), whose (tree of life,us) leaf shall not fade, neither shall the (first) fruit thereof be consumed (12 baskets left): it (tree of life) shall bring forth new fruit according to his (Gods) months; and the (first) fruit thereof shall be for meat (spiritual food;word of God), and the leaf thereof for medicine (healing of the nations). Matthew 12:33 the kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven (spirit of God) which a woman (new Jerusalem; the mother of us all) took, and hid in three measures of meal (the meal offering to God, us), till the whole (lump) (all mankind) was leavened (by the spirit of God).
  • Jake Hoek on Romans 13 - 5 years ago
    The people wanted a king, but God sends leanness in their souls. God gave David being a king after His own heart and Israel was blessed. Rulers who ignore God, are rulers of darkness.
  • DianaH - In Reply on 1 Peter 5:2 - 5 years ago
    In regards to wealthy ministers, preachers, churches, etc., my heart tells me that as long as there is hungar/starvation, malnutrition, unclean water, no shelter, bad education, or anything causing sickness and death inflicted upon anyone on this earth, they shouldn't have anything extra to buy such lavish and unnecessary things. It doesn't sound like something our Creator would be okay with especially after telling us that the love of money is the root of all evil. I don't believe He likes money at all. He gives us all that we needed to begin with. We are suppose to help our brothers and sisters who have need when we are blessed with more.
  • Richard on Habakkuk 2 - 5 years ago
    Hello my brothers and sisters! Really just felt to leave a comment here for the good of everyone. So as only being with the Lord for just over a year, my life has changed drastically for the best. By a power not of my own. Last year I just wanted truth and was led to the Bible. As the OT is where my reading started. There were many things of wisdom and things that just felt a bit off. Reading about God with his mercy and goodness was great. Eventually I thought "what's in the NT"? So beginning to read there it was obvious it was all/mostly about Jesus Christ. I think it was when reading John and Jesus telling his disciples His new commandment of "love one another". Knowing in my heart this was the truth and what we all need. Right then I began pouring my heart out to Jesus Christ and our Eternal Father in prayer. Well, it was only one week later that the Lord came to me with a marvelous experience. As I'm sure all of you have wonderful accounts of when the Lord came to you in your lives. Again, since then, after receiving the Holy Spirit, my life changed in many ways toward the Will of God. It is very true, as I have found, that the KJV Bible is the best. As reading through the Bible in my possession, NAV, and checking with KJV, it is clear that many things have been removed or changed. Not just different translation. As the Holy Bible is a very important book I find it just a stepping stone on the way to the Lord. As the Word of the Lord is still there it may very easily confuse some people. As why we truly need the Holy Spirit to guide us to the truth. Also as we need to stick together and just converse about things as this site, a Blessing, is great for. God Bless you all my brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!
  • ROBERT L MUNSON - In Reply on Matthew 16 - 5 years ago
    My post was to draw attention to the odd inclusion of verse 19. My reveal that I'm not a Christian was offered for honesty.

    During my life I've seen many contracts with odd clauses - pay legal bills if a suit fails. No doubt NDA's and Pre-nups contain odd clauses. What is the effect of verse 19? It raises a red flag for me.
