    Thank you S. spencer, for this information. I have never heard of this topic before. Hoping Mara will turn away from such "New Age" beliefs to the truth of Jesus.

    Hi Mara.

    Here's what I found about Angel numbers and its contrast to Christianity.

    Part 1.

    Angel numbers have grown in popularity in recent years due to the resurgence of New Age practices. While angel numbers might sound as if they have something to do with the angels of the Bible, they do not. There is nothing biblical about angel numbers, as nowhere in the Bible are we told about the existence of angel numbers.

    What Are Angel Numbers?

    An example of an angel number is when multiple repetitions of numbers happen, such as 333, 222, or 111. According to those who believe in angel numbers, each angel number has a special and unique meaning. If you see multiple repetitions of the same set of numbers, this is "your angel number."

    While this concept has grown in popularity, there is nothing biblical about this practice. Those who believe in angel numbers believe that once you see your angel number, you have found your angelic or spirit guide.

    With one's spirit guide, the New Age teaches that the spirit or angelic guide will help the individual through any sort of trouble, whether emotional, spiritual, or physical. Spirit guides are also seen within the religion of Hinduism. Spirit guides or angelic guides are not biblical.

    We are never told in the Bible that God gives us a "spirit guide" or an "angelic guide." Rather, we are told that at the moment of salvation, we are given the permanent indwelling of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the one who guides, instructs, and helps us.

    Jesus tells us, "But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you" ( John 14:26). The Holy Spirit and God's Word is our guide - not some kind of spirit or angelic guide.

    See part 2.

    Hi Mara 444,

    Peace to you. Respectful comments within a dialogue, whether they agree or not, shouldn't be considered as harmful, unless one has predetermined they will be. I hadn't heard of angel numbers until I just now looked it up.

    It seems the intention of your purpose is harmless: seeking the positive along with justice, valuing tradition and family, following rules, proving oneself loyal, being intelligent and loving to learn and develop. I'm open to listening to the thought systems and opinions of others, but choosing my guide based on numbers to lead me down my path is not sounding like it's for me. Yet, most Christians share many, if not all these values and goals. I'm sure the world would seem a more peaceful place if everyone chose these goals, whatever their means. So, I say, God bless for your harmlessness towards others.

    I suppose it seems "crazy" to Christians, because they have chosen to put their faith in Jesus Christ, instead of a numbering system. From my experience, the majority are not changing their mind regarding this; they are not leaving their first Love. I suggest what I would for all: ask and continue to ask for truth, peace and understanding. Pursue complete harmlessness and forgiveness. Love your neighbor as yourself, while praying for perceived enemies to become friends.

    Blessings Mara

    Mara,

    You are asking for us to "please explain without being harmful to my belief, in angel numbers," but how are we to do that without knowing what you actually believe?

    Can you tell exactly what you believe about "angel numbers" and perhaps also tell us who God is to you, who Jesus is to you, and who the Holy Spirit is to you?

    I think that might gives us a better idea on how to respond to your question.
  • Richard H Priday on Psalms 72 - 3 years ago
    Psalm 72.

    There is some debate as to whether the authorship should be stated as "of" Solomon or to him.

    The beginning of the Psalm (first four verses) are descriptive of the earth with God's judgments for the people; focusing on the poor and needy; and how it is throughout the earth.

    Verse 5 shows how at least through the Millennium reign the sun and moon endure. Isaiah 60 seems to suggest in verse 20 that it may last forever; whether the need of the sun and moon to see God in heaven is necessary or it doesn't exist in the new earth and heaven is conjecture beyond the scope of this study. ( Rev. 21:23).

    Verse 8 shows His dominion throughout the earth in the Millennium and verse 10 repeats how the wealth of the nations will go to Him when they worship in Jerusalem every year. ( Zech. 14:16; Rev. 21:26; Isaiah 60:3.

    Verse 15 to me is somewhat mysterious that prayer would be made FOR Christ when He returns. Could this mean entreating God for Him to receive greater earthly wealth; or something to that effect?

    Verse 17 once again discusses His name continuing as long as the sun; again it seems that perhaps with a new heaven and earth the sun will last forever too.

    It would seem at the end that David did write this (I should have read that in the beginning).

    At any rate; once again we see future blessings for God's people and the nation of Israel once the fullness of its Covenant promises are realized; and they finally recognize their Messiah.

    Hello Mara

    Where did you get those numbers from?
  • Ronald Whittemore - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Hi Mara444,

    As Sammi has said it is not Biblical. I know what angel numbers are, your sign in, your name and 444 the 444 is an angel number. There is a lot of things on the earth, and many do not believe they exist today because they have never encountered them but, are these things real? Yes. The Bible is where you can find your answer.

    With love, when we search for the truth what are we willing to do if we find it? I hope this answer helps.

    God bless,

    Not sure what angel numbers actually are , sorry . I'm guessing that most Christians don't believe in them / it ,because they / it is not in the Bible . Christians tend to just believe what's in the Bible . Hope you understand that and are not offended .

  • Chris - In Reply on Esther 1 - 3 years ago
    Hi Pam. As you know, those Jews that were carried away into Babylon by King Nebuchadnezzar remained there until the Persian army, under Cyrus, conquered Babylon. Cyrus was very lenient with the Jews & he gave them permission to return to their homeland. However, only a few did, and others did so over time, under Persian rule. People, like Mordecai & his cousin Hadassah (Esther), were born in captivity & only knew this Babylonian/Persian culture & the Jewish practises that were brought over by their forefathers. So, under Xerxes (Ahasuerus), the story of Mordecai & Esther is given to us. Having mentioned all that, I would think that the Jews living in Persia, who didn't want to return for various reasons (old age, loss of lifestyle/privileges, etc.), continued to perform many of the Jewish practises, as far as they were remembered. Many things would have been forgotten, abandoned, or even inter-mixed with heathen practises, but Israel still maintained their Jewish ancestry and their position before God & sought to follow His regulations.

    So, when we read of Esther's call to the Jews of Shushan the palace & her handmaidens to fast ( Esther 4:15-17), I would think that both fasting & prayer were intended (if her helpers were Jews of course). The idea of fasting for the Jew at that time, was linked to deep sense of need & dependence and/or an utter helplessness in the face of calamity (present or anticipated). Also times of mourning, repentance, or a deep spiritual need could prompt fasting & prayer. Of King David we read that he prayed & fasted over his sick child ( 2 Samuel 12:16) coupled with weeping (vv 21,22). And Daniel in Daniel 9:1-19, went a similar way before the Lord with prayer, petition, fasting, in sackcloth & ashes, over the coming destruction of Jerusalem.

    Fasting then was a particularly important act of one's seriousness & being cast before the Lord for help. Throughout the fast, this attitude of laying up the matters before God would have occurred.

    When we sleep, someone else are awake somewhere else. In this way there will always be someone who praises the Lord for He allows us to rest even between work, struggle and crying. Between work, eat and other necessary things. Jesus fully understands what we can struggle with here on Earth. So in the name of Jesus Christ we get boldness to come to God the Father. And now we can ask the Holy Spirit. For the antichrist was already active in 1 John 2:18-23. Stay close to Gods word, Amen. Take care Jesus loves u i to.
  • Pam on Esther 1 - 3 years ago
    When it says that Esther told her servant maids and others to fast, did they also pray? What was the custom of the Persian Jews about fasting and prayer?

  • Chris - In Reply - 3 years ago
    Hello Mblancett. I don't believe there is any verse that gives the phrase you're looking for. I suspect this desire or prayer came about when reading about God's Intervention in the lives of the Israelites when they were prisoners in Egypt. If you read Exodus 12:1-13, you may recall this account when the LORD would pass by every house in Egypt and all the firstborn (humans & animals) dwelling in those houses & property would be killed unless they had the blood of the lamb applied to the doorposts & lintel. Of course, the Israelites obeyed the LORD in this & were spared, but the firstborn of the Egyptians were killed.

    Just as the blood of the lamb was required for Israel to be spared from death, so those 'in Christ' now are spared eternal death in hell, as the Blood of God's Lamb has been shed & applied for us - ever before our Heavenly Father as a memorial of His pardoning & securing our lives through Jesus His Son. Rather than 'covering our property with the Blood of Jesus', it may be better stated that we could, by prayer, consecrate our homes & all in it or all who visit it, for the Lord's keeping, protection, & blessing. That not only our homes, but our lives as well, may always exude the fragrance of Christ Jesus & be a blessing & witness to all who come near.

    I agree with Giannis. John wouldn't have wrote letters to heavenly beings. Angels (messengers).
  • Chris - In Reply on Matthew 19:17 - 3 years ago
    Hi James. The command to give honor to our parents is to show the respect, love & readiness to be there for them when they find themselves in need. Yet, in some homes sadly, sexual abuse, drunkenness & disorderly behavior can make the child's desire to love or obey the commandment so much more difficult. Fortunately, there are laws for their protection & removal.

    Then, as you quoted Matthew 19:29, and I would also submit Luke 14:26, we read of what seems a departure from giving all due love & respect to parents. However, I don't believe Jesus wants those who wholeheartedly follow Him, in maybe some service that takes them far from home, to stop loving or respecting their parents. It's a matter of priority that the Lord gives: He must always be first in our lives - even before family & self. Those who have the call of the Lord upon their lives, can certainly trust Him to care & provide for his or her family; and the family (parents) should certainly understand the burden upon their 'child' to serve & that the Lord will see to all of their needs.

    Dear Heavenly Father, we lift up Johanna and ask that You will bring healing to her back by taking away the pain and repairing the damage to her muscles, tendons, nerves, and vertebrae. We ask that You will bring swift healing and recovery for Johanna. We come to You with this prayer in the name of Jesus, Amen.

  • Duncan - In Reply on 1 Kings 2 - 3 years ago
    -Every word stated at the top is important and i will add my summation to this. walking with God is a decision and that one has to make by knowing it's a commitment to followship with God.

    But to start you need to repent of your sins then God will teach you his words and when He does don't Just listen but be a doer of the word.

    -God the Holy Sprite Has said who is the man that fears the lord, came i will teach you the fear of the Lord. ( Psalm 25:12)

    Acts 2:14-38

    Peter replied, "Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

    Remember to

    Read your bible

    Pray without ceasing

    Day and night search with all your heart mind and soul

    Then you will find Him.
