I'm feeling better now.
I just have more time to pray, which is great! There's much to intercede for. God has his eye on the sparrows.
I get strength from Gideon and Joshua. Don't be afraid. Meet life head-on. God is with us by the grace and love of our Savior, Jesus.
Take care. See y'all soon. I love our Bible Comment Room.
The mind's mental processes provide the ability to make decisions based on comprehension and differentiation. The mind formulates one's discernment, opinions, viewpoints, morals, convictions, and beliefs. (cp. Eph. 2:3).
Contextually, depravity and rejection of all things Holy and GODly motivates this mind into the state of "reprobation" leaving GOD to "give them over" to their own sinful will to multiply sin upon sin. Sexual sins are commonly the lowest type of sins of which the sinner sinks into a state of "reprobate".
The adjective "reprobate" means they fail GOD's spiritual test thoroughly in every point and in every way. Thus, GOD rejects them as unfit, spurious, and unusable and "gives them up" ( Rom. 1:24, 26, & 28) to their own carnal devices which they often blend into their religious beliefs and practices (cp. Tit. 1:16). Such become a "castaway", a word which translates from the same Greek adjective, and a condition of which Paul greatly feared ( 1Cor. 9:27).
Sadly, these reprobates do not lightly come to this condition, for many put great efforts into achieving this reprobation as Paul declared in Romans Chapter One.
Of note, the same Greek adjective root translated here into "reprobate" and into "castaway" ( 1Cor. 9:27) also translates into "rejected" in Hebrews 6:8.
Thanks. I did think of that after I posted my summary.
I believe to be an evil angel of Satin's horde
Is told by God through the mouth of Ezekiel;
Chaper 38: "Son of man, set thy face against Gog the land of Magog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal and prophesy against him. And say, thus saith the Lord God; behold I am against thee O Gog, the chief prince of Meshech and Tubal.."
.chief prince? Does that not sound like Scripture using the same term for an angelic creature? Michael, prince of Persia. I believe Satan has more than one prince, quite possibly hundreds.
"And I will turn thee back, and put hooks into thy jaws, and I will bring thee forth, and all thine army..all of them clothed with all sorts of armour, even a great company Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya...Gomer and all his bands; the house f Togarmah of the north quarters, and all his bands: and many peoples with thee."
"After many days thou shall be visited: in the later years thou shalt come into the land that is brought back from the sword, and is gathered out of many people, against the mountains of Israel which have been always waste: but is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell safely all of them."
"Thou shall ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou and all thy bands and many people with thee." This word, band, bands has the meaning of "wings of an army". What does that say to you? Like a 'cloud' to cover the land. Aircaft?
If we break this down to what we might think is a thought and word to how we talk today, God is putting thought and deed into the mind of the great leader of a nation straight north of Israel. Who is directly north of Israel? First of the larger, Turkey, then north of the Black Sea is Ukraine, further northward is Russia. Consider this fact, there are over 25 million Muslims in Russia. The largest Muslim population in Europe reside in Russia according to Wikipedia. How many in the Russian military? More than
..As Jeremiah said i will make the Words in your mouth as fire and this ppl the wood....But Jesus said i come not to destroy mens lives but to save means lives...Thus the lake of fire is a spritual fire of the H.G....
Whosoevers name was not written in the book of life..( that new covenant ) was cast into the lake of fire...The lake of God...Baptism of the H.G. and fire That great judgement day fire of God....That river of life.
Malachi 3 : 2 ....Who shall abide the day of his coming , Who shall stand when he appears for he shall be as a refiners fire and fullers soap....Which is baptism of the H.G. and fire...
As our God is a consuming fire to consume mans ADAMIC NATURE...The Fire is by his word...which was his breath...But his words are also his seeds that is gonna result in new innerman....that new creature which is the H.G...Jesus said i come to bring fire on the earth..Simply b/c that is what mankind needs...There is nothin wrong with this beautiful earth...Its mankind that needs to be destroyed....By that lake of FIRE....our old heart and old spirit needs to be replaced with a new heart and a new spirit...We need to birth a baby Christ which is the H.G. that Child of Promise.
Jesus said Behold i send the PROMISE of my Father upon you...Which was baptism of the H.G.. and FIRE....Which was the multiplication of Christ in humanity...I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven...And thats when God swore by himself.
I believe the sin that sends sinners to hell is the sin of rejecting the Word of God clearly delivered to that sinner by the Holy Ghost so that the sinner who rejects that clear understanding will be without excuse if he rejects it.
Romans 1
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
Christians have been persecuted anywhere in which the Gospel is preached. Now, there are two things to take into consideration:
1. Is Social Media a healthy environment/platform for Christians?
Answer (which is an opinion): Social media is one of the most toxic environments Christians can immerse themselves in. In times past, other generations warned of some of the secular programming on TV. The same came when internet became more widely available. The same should be said of social media. Not everyone who claim to be saved on social media is and by disclosing your private life to the public; it allows the wicked on social media to use your own person against you without knowing you. The best platform for evangelizing or exercising any form of the great commission would be to meet with a physical local group of Christians to reach the lost.
2. If used (Social Media) , have you tried creating a private group and filtering those who join & limiting posts to be previewed before posting? These are options to take into consideration. You can create a group but you'd need to become a page monitor to filter out people/posts which would cause conflict or lack of fellowship.
3. Censorship in Social Media?
Christ says we're not of the world and the world hates us (paraphrased). That said, social media was designed to glamorize the flesh and seek virtue signaling for favor and self indulgence ("likes" for praise). Now, Facebook operates by what the secular world also deems as politically correct. Therefore, any multitude of Bible verses or entire chapters would offend unbelievers or lukewarm "christians." For example, can you imagine what a secular Facebook moderator would do if they read Romans chapter 1? Social media belongs to the world and they'll censor anything that goes against the new corrupt views of the world. If you're banned...maybe it's time to reconsider where you outreach to Christians.
Isaiah 14:12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations!
John 15:2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit. -- notice it says branch in me.
3 Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.
4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.
5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.
6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. --- This is Jesus its not my opinion (fire)
Luke 22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art (converted), strengthen thy brethren.--- Peter you must not cut off people ear --
John 18:36 if my kingdom were of this world my servants would fight
Revelation 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.
We make mistakes, but a Christian stops lying, steeling, killing, adultery, + the other commandments
Psalm 51:5 Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
This is part of David's confession of his sin with Uriah's wife and his murder of Uriah. It is a confession I make.
This corruption of nature did not originate with me, and it did not originate from man's original created state. That corruption originated in Adam's deed of eating the tree of the knowledge of good and evil against the commandment of God that carried the penalty of death. Was the penalty of death in that commandment only what occurred to Adam's during his 930th year when he physically died? No.
Genesis 2:17
But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
Adam was under the penalty of death the day he ate of the fruit, and it's guilt was sufficient to deny him the ability to live one more day. The penalty of death and judgement of all mankind could have taken place on the very day Adam's ate. Satan was counting on that, since he was judged that way. None of us would even exist had God chosen to carry out the penalty of death that way, and He was within His rights to do that, as he later showed under the Law when the penalties of those commandments were carried out the day it was confirmed by two witnesses.
The 930 years and the birth of every human being since was all of grace. The animal(s) that died that day clothed them to give us all physical life. But not spiritual life
Our mere existence is a gift of grace. And the origin of righteousness and justification in me now is not my righteous deeds or my righteous disposition it is of faith in Christ's righteousness, both in his deeds and in His nature.
John 15
22 If I had not come and spoken unto them, they had not had sin: but now they have no cloak for their sin.
23 He that hateth me hateth my Father also.
24 If I had not done among them the works which none other man did, they had not had sin: but now have they both seen and hated both me and my Father.
25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might be fulfilled that is written in their law, They hated me without a cause.
I mentioned earlier the sin of rejecting Jesus when enlightened by other Holy Spirit to come to Jesus for salvation. Some people call that the unpardonable sin. Jesus said in Mark 3 there is one sin that shall never be forgiven. John 3 says condemnation is rejecting the light. All of these verses say the same thing. Sinners are not condemned to hell because they were born sinners or did some bad things in their life. Sinners are condemned to hell for rejecting the witness of the Holy Spirit which has been made clear to them.
Romans 1
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness;
19 Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them.
20 For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:
21 Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.
22 Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools,
And then in verses 21-23, "Yet these may ye eat of every flying creeping thing that goeth upon all four, which have legs above their feet, to leap withal upon the earth...", we get a further explanation of these multiple legged flying creatures that could be eaten: the grasshopper & beetle; and what were unclean: everything else).
The others who do not want to hear / see will walk restlessly for eternity in the dark and shallow for nothing. Because they're used to it. Pray that the Light will reach you today, friend. Repent from dark deeds and see Jesus. He who came to save us all. Once and for all, He died at Calvary. Receive the light while it is still bright. Soon an eternal darkness will come for some, let it not be you who reads this. Confess that you believe in Jesus Christ. May God's patience live in our hearts and that He be patient with us all. So that we can be sure of salvation. Love u all in Christ, love to see u glad faces : D.
Many things have been fulfilled by what is written in Revelation. But it is not given to everyone and understand, then the rest can hear? Now many people probably think that this is still a long way to go!
No, you're wrong. The animal's mark is already in use in many countries, and several authorities are beginning to see that it will be a flexible case. To introduce a chip that everyone can have for identification, and to see what each one has of funds. It is clear that we must not take this mark. For then we belong to the beast that John once saw on Patmos. The believers in the world will not take possession of this mark.
Then the time of trouble is a reality, friends. That is, we Christians come to and lack all things. Who can we trust then? Absolutely true to the Lord Jesus Christ He who we have believed in for 2022 years!
When that time comes, we will not be able to buy petrol, diesel or electricity for the new fancy cars we have. We can no longer buy food, medicine or water for those who live in cities. It may be a bank idea can last a long time but everything else is in vain and get hold of. That time shall not be longer than 3.1 / 2 years. So it will not be long. But many of the Christians will then be long gone from this world. When there is no longer a righteous one left on this created earth. Who prays for all people. Will Jesus Come Back. Can you stand up for Him? Can you become a martyr for Jesus Christ? Or do you just want to lull yourself into a theme that scratches your back well. And you can go on and on about your wealth? to be continued
Well many people know that is not true. But now with a crisis knocking on the door. Will more take that position. It will now be more difficult to get to work. More expensive for commuters and so on. The sick may not get their medication.
Norway has been on its knees before. Many times when war threatens. We gather and are in agreement with what threatens.
But are we really there now that there has been a sharp divide between rich and poor. Are you one of those who believe that God only listens to kings and queens? Yes He listens to them too. But most of all, he listens to those who come to Him in honesty and truth. He does not care about your clothes or your wealth, gold or silver. Now is the time to trust God through everything. Remember we're all going through fire, are you standing?
Now this is similar to a doomsday sermon. No, it is not. But should this be the last war, Jesus will come soon. That may be the truth of reality.
In recent years, we have seen borders closed. Why close borders due to a contagious deadly cold. It seems a little over its dimensions. At the same time, the authorities take care and store data. Who buys, who owns what, who needs and so on. We have to ask ourselves here.
