Amen to that Gigi , may God bless you .

Ronnie, the answer is in:

Hebrews 11:39 And all these (Old Testament saints), having a good report through faith, received not the PROMISE:

The Promise is eternal life (CHRIST IN YOU) and that was not available to man until Pentecost.

The Old saints were waiting in the grave for the resurrection.

Christ is the resurrection.

Hebrews 11:40 God having provided something better for us (DEATH passes over us, and ETERNAL LIFE LIVES IN US), that they without us should not be made perfect (the image of Christ).

The Old saints as well as any that have left this body of flesh, are now in the Holy City, new Jerusalem, made without hands; because they are spirits of just men made perfect.

Hebrew 1:14 Are they not ministering spirits (the image of Christ) sent forth to minister for them who shall be HEIRS OF SALVATION.

God Bless You!

In my mind you are very appreciated for your life and work to spread the Gospel to people through hard times, althought I don't agree to some of your beliefs. Reading all you have done for God makes me feel so small and inferior in front of you.

God Bless you.

Dear Terri.

Let me tell you of a vision that God showed to a sister in Crist some years ago. It may help.

She was in front of God's throne during the Judgement. Before her there was another person that was judged by God. Both of them had in their hands a sheet of paper that had written on them their debts, that is things they have done to be judged. The sister knew the other person that was judged. When she was thinking of one of the other person's fault and judged him/her in her mind, the same debt/fault appeared in her sheet too. So she thought it is better not to think and judge the other person's fault so that it wouldn't appear in her sheet too and not be judged for it as well.

Conclusion? If you are strict to people then God will be strict to you as well.

GBU

Very well said and all true.Jesus took out place.The one thief on cross beside Jesus that day believed and Jesus said today you will be in paradise.what could we possibly do to save ourselves.what a precious Saviour.

Hello Rose, Like Suze, I do not think the Scriptures support "generational curses". We suffer from the decisions made by our predecessors or there can be genetic predispositions or familial tendencies passed down. These are not curses, but results of our fallenness.

When we come to Christ and are converted, the Holy Spirit makes us a new creation in Christ. So, we are no longer enslaved by any off these things that are inherited or passed on by family example. We can have victory over them through the work of the Holy Spirit in us. For some people, they have instant deliverance. For others, one needs to persevere in prayer, faith, and walking by the Spirit.

Some things that are genetically inherited that are medical in nature may be with us all of our life. But we have the hope of the next life where these things will be totally eradicated from our beings.

Suze, I agree with you. I do not believe in generational curses either.

We do suffer from the decisions made from our predecessors and there can be hereditary tendencies or illnesses passed on through families genetically or by upbringing and example. But these are not curses. This is fallenness.

Hello Elise,

Abraham had eight sons altogether.

Ishmael from Hagar

Isaac from Sarah

and 6 sons from Keturah, whom he married after Sarah died. These six sons settled Midian and Arabia.

Matthew Chapter 27:52 And the graves were opened, and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, Chapter 27:53 And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared to many. My question is did these saints remain on the earth and lived more years and died again. Or did they receive glorified bodies and went to Heaven when Jesus did? I know it say's they appeared to many people.

I don't Believe that God sends our dead loved ones to speak to us. I believe that it's one of satans tricks. Or witchcraft. I don't know of any scripture that support listening to dead loved ones who come to us in a dream. And I don't believe that God wants us to speak to our dead loved ones or lift them up with holidays and the like. I think That is called necromancy I'm not sure. But some dreams or apparitions are so convincing BECAUSE they are "appear" to be our loved ones. But we all know the devil is a liar. If there's any scripture that I am missing please feel free to share it with me.

May God bless you too ELB . God called you out of this world , I believe He called me out of it too . We cannot be friends of the world and be commited Christians , before anyone criticizes me for that statement they should read their Bible . God is not willing that any should perish but perish they will if they don't repent and put themselves in His hands one hundred per cent . He is our loving Heavenly Father and He wants us with Him for ever . I'm desperate for the return of Christ , please pray for the peace of Jerusalem . I hope to see you and everyone on here , there , in the New Jerusalem , ever so soon . When it is Your will Dear Heavenly Father .

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ , what is the thing that all the world wonders after ? What is the world enthralled by on a daily basis ? Is it not technology ? What is the most obvious and prevalent piece of technology in the world ? You are looking at it , the internet . Doesn't the internet remind you of something else in the Bible ? Maybe the tower of Babel ? Or perhaps the tree of the knowledge of good and evil ? Please , limit your time on the internet and be so very discerning as to which sites you visit , the serpent is so very subtle . Don't let it wrap itself around you and squeeze the life out of you . So many of our young people are being funneled into a hive mentality , unable or unwilling to think for themselves , even some older people too . Be very discerning when it comes to the web . It's very apt that it's called the web , don't get trapped in it !

Brother Wayne, Amen!!!

Sometimes we don't even have to say a word for God's Spirit in us to testify and minister to someone!

Of course they were. Is there anything that suggests they weren't.

Well, dear Rose, some go to an imaginatory trial.

The Judge is Father God. The person accused is me, you, every human being You are accused that you broke the law, God's Law, that is you sinned and kept sinning in all of your life. The verdict is that you are guilty. The Judge Father God announcers the penalty. The penalty is Death, since the wage of sin is death, that is everybody who sins suffers a physical and a spiritual death as well. The spiritual death is the eternal sepatation from God (hell). At that very moment somebody in the audience that is attending the trial shouts to the Judge " Dear Sir, my name is Jesus Christ, if you and the accused person accept my offer, I would like to pay the penalty me myself and the accused person to be freed. The Judge Father God accepts that. It is now a decision for the accused person to accept that offer or not. If he accepts it he is freed and Jesus takes his place, if he doesn't then he must be sentenced himself. This is what Jesus did on the cross. As a representative of all mankind of all ages paid the penalty for the sins done by all people, once for all. Everybody who believes in Jesus work and accepts the offer/the freedom/the salvation that is offered becomes free and acceptable by God in his eternal kingdom. If smd doesn't then the prison awaits for him.

I tried to make it as simple as possible, hope you understand it .

Now there isn't a stop jere. You must walk with Jesus from now on. A walk of pure life, and if you din, because we are humans and we will eventually sin sometime, then you ask for forgiveness and raise op and keep walking.

There are no generational curses for christians. Jesus's blood is a shield against them.

As far as your dreams are concerned you are the person who knows the answer. Do you have setbacks? If yes then repent and start going forward (do not feel much guilty, everybody has setbacks). If not maybe those dreams are either from a guilty consious or maybe from satan?

GBU

When we admit to ourselves and to others that we are not in control of our lives or the lives of others. We must turn every aspect of our life over to him. To trust only in him. This is hard because our Ego and Ego of others will want to stand in the way of him. Our Ego says there is no God. Our Ego says God does not love or care for us. Our Ego is like the serpent that temps us to do bad things to ourselves and others. Be of good cheer and know God wants you to trust in Him because he truly does love you and wants a loving personal relationship with you.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35

1 Timothy 2:11-12

God is Sovereign : Deuteronomy Ch 28.

Serpent is created by God : Gen Ch 2 V 1 . God says , Gen Ch 2 V 17 : in the day that thou eatest ( 2nd Peter Ch 3 V 8 , how old was the oldest person in the Bible ? ) , thou shalt surely die .

John Ch 8 V 44 , the serpent tells the lie in Gen Ch 3 V 4 : ye shall not surely die , and this lie is the death of Adam and Eve , she believes the lie and not God so she eats and Adam follows her lead .

Gen Ch 3 V 5 : ye shall be as god's knowing good and evil , Gen Ch 3 V 22 . How should we b ? Matthew Ch 18 V 1- 4 , Luke Ch 18 V 15-17 .Do little children know good and evil ? Or r they innocent , open hearted , totally dependant on and trusting of their parents love for them ? Our parents r God and Jesus and we must b as their little children , obedient and trusting of their love and righteousness .

The serpent encourages worldly wisdom , Christ calls him the prince of this world , Luke Ch 4 V 5-8 , John Ch 12 V 31 , Ch 14 V 30 , Ch 16 V 11 . The serpent , or satan if u like , rules this world but he absolutely does not have a free reign , Job Ch 1+2 .We must not b of this world ,Matthew Ch 13 V 22 . John tells us a lot about this world , John Ch 8 V 23 , Ch 12 V 31, Ch 14 V 17 , Ch 14 V 30 , Ch 15 V 19 , Ch 16 V 8 , Ch 16 V 11 , Ch 17 V 9 , Ch 18 V 36 . Also Romans Ch 3 V 6 and Ch 12 V 2 .

Fear of man

Be I've been a street preacher 35 yrs.

If you read your Bible relentlessly, you're ready

If you've been baptized by the Holy Spirit

I love how Peter did it when he met a blind begger: " silver and gold have I none, but such as I have, give I to you! The man was healed.

Come hang around in here and answer questions with the rest of us. If you know enough to be saved yourself, you are able to help save someone else.

Minister one on one. Crowds attract hecklers.

Kirk Cameron has street witnessing videos on YouTube. On Google there are many websites to help you feel informed about street ministry.

Easy way to start is to get some "Chick Tracts" online. They aren't expensive. You view the ones you like. I put them on bus stop benches, on a sidewalk away from foot traffic, park benches on weekends. When that feels comfortable, you can try saying hello with eye contact.

Most important: first Pray to the Lord of the Harvest and ask Him to bless your efforts.

Women preachers/pastors-yes or no

Good morning,

I will add to Mishael's list:

Almighty

God Most High

I AM

YHWH/Yahweh

El/Elohim

Yahweh Yireh

Yahweh Rapha

Yahweh Nissi

Yahweh Shalom

Yahweh Rohi

Yahweh Tsidknenu

this is all I can think of right now

Yes. I think Mary Magdalene, Jesus's mother, Mary and Martha maybe.

There's a new movie out now on the End Times. It's one hour, goes real fast from Genesis to the Millennium. On YouTube, search BLESSON END OF DAYS.

It shows everyone in the Upper Room on The First Pentecost. There are women in the scene.

Also, the Bible says the people in the Upper Room spilled out in the street.

Christians today are told, in essence, to "come out of her"; that is, to separate themselves from the wickedness of the world: "Do not be yoked together with unbelievers. For what do righteousness and wickedness have in common? Or what fellowship can light have with darkness? What harmony is there between Christ and Belial? Or what does a believer have in common with an unbeliever? What agreement is there between the temple of God and idols? For we are the temple of the living God. . . . Therefore, 'Come out from them and be separate,' says the Lord. 'Touch no unclean thing, and I will receive you'" ( 2 Corinthians 6:14-17).

During the tribulation, when the people of the world see the destruction of Babylon the Great, they will mourn the loss of their source of riches and pleasure ( Revelation 18:9, 15, 19).

I'm not going to disparage on the Catholic Church at large. Not all are the same as the Vatican. I was kind of shocked when the Pope visited Jerusalem and said (on TV), Israel should give over control of the ? Golan Heights to the Palestinians who are occupying it. But the Israelis police it. Lots of Israelis are being shot or injured.

God CUT A COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM and his wife Sarah. Period. Ishmael has no rights to any part of Jerusalem or the land deeded to Abraham, recorded in the Bible. The Israelis want to build Temple #3. Good news is this: once the Temple is built and animal sacrifices for sin, begin again; Jesus will return and get His Church (Christians) off this planet. Watch the Israel news with Erick Stakelbeck and subscribe (on YouTube) so you can keep an eye on the progress.

American news media barely reports on Israel news.

FYI. You might look at all the Palestinian preaching on YouTube about the MAHDI they are looking for. I can't believe I'm banned off youtube and then they allow militant preaching about the Mahdi ?!?

Mishael

Eve was made out of one of Adams ribs. No other women were around.

1 Corinthians 12:1-11, thru chapter 15

The gifts are given as the Holy Spirit wills it. But we are told elsewhere to desire the best gifts.

Read in the NT Bible, about the gifts.

Word search in this website search box: discern

I noticed that on YouTube Charles Stanley has sermons of

Spiritual Discernment

Walking in the Holy Spirit

(I highly recommend his teachings)

That was the first gift the Holy Spirit gave me.

He teaches you to discern if you are dealing with a human, evil spirit, or the Holy Spirit or angels

If we submit ourselves, the Holy Spirit will guide you in all things as you fill yourself up on Bible scriptures. Many times it is through scripture when He chooses to speak to your born again spirit. We view things through a glass darkly. 1 Corinthians 13:12

With the Holy Spirits gifts, we can "see the mirror" better.

He's our Teacher, Helper, Comforter and much more. It is our hunger and thirst for the truths in Gods Word that causes the gifts to operate. In my experience, He very much enjoys praise and worship of Jesus. Sometimes I sit in my "closet" under the clothes_just listening intently, or I sing. I was singing I WALK THE LINE by Johnny Cash and the Holy Spirit sang too! I never knew it was a spiritual song. He said, you walk the line, because you're Mine. I walk the line every day now. I know why Jesus is protective of the Holy Spirit__as in Don't grieve, quench or blaspheme Holy Spirit.

Our relationship with the Holy Spirit should be sweeter and tighter as time goes by. He will give you the gifts as you educate yourself on what each one is, and what they are for. One: some gifts operate for other people, Through you. It requires obedience and availability.

If you hear a voice that disturbs you, makes you fear; that was the devil. Send him into outer darkness in Jesus Name.

Keep coming back here. You'll love the ease of the Search Engine to look up things.

Mishael

Actually in every day Greek MAKARIOS means " You are very happy". Why? Because one who becomes like that goes to Heaven, but I would like to know how Jesus said it in Hebrew/Aramaic, what is the actual neaning of that Jewish word?

PS: In ancient Greece MAKARES were only the Gods.

God cut a Covenant with Abraham (and his wife Sarah),

concerning the Land of Israel. The boundaries are in the Bible

Sarah gave Hagar her maid to get children from. Hagar had a son; Ishmael. He was born through the permissive Will of God. God blessed Ishmael mightily, but he was not heir to the Covenant of the Land.

Later Sarah had Isaac. She could see how much Abraham loved the boy, and feared for Isaac. Angels told her she would have a son. ISSAC was the perfect will of God.

The struggle in Israel today is directly due to the COVENANT OF THE LAND, GOD made with Abraham and wife Sarah. The Palestinians do not recognize Sarah at all.

If you word search names: Ishmael, Isaac, Covenant, Blessing, in the Old Testament only, you'll the the short passages that often get missed. In history Hagar moved away for a long time but moved back in the region.

Sarah had died and Abraham re-married; but not to Hagar.

It is something we all need to know because the final wars will be about the covenant of the Land; and Jerusalem. God never said that Israel can trade land for peace. It's going to result in Armageddon.

That's why Jesus told us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They have to build the 3rd Temple and begin daily animal sacrifices again. That's our BIG SIGN of THE END. So read the YouTube news on Temple progress.

Try Erik Stakelbeck Israel news site. He's a Jewish Christian.

Jesus said, "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." ( John 15:7) "whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." ( Mark 11:23-24)

After my salvation, the Holy Spirit had me clear out my house of any item I had that had anything to do with occult. I had to burn them. Acts 19:19. I cannot express the change in my house the next day. Peace.

Ask the Holy Spirit to go through your house with you.

Confront the past, and just let it all go. Ask God for an angel to guard your house for a while. Your life now is hidden within Christ. He is yours; you are his. Song of Solomon. "I am My Beloveds__My Beloved is Mine".

As a Christian of many years , I don't believe in curses . You can curse me all you like it won't work ! It's all psychological bunkum designed to freak you out . If you had read and understood the Bible you would know that if you belong to God you need not fear anything or anyone other than God Himself . Please , read your Bible and listen to it and not to people who are of no consequence .
