Hello , Gigi thanks for being my prayer warrior . I'm doing good I will keep in touch with you and inform you of my condition. As I stated God is shifting the atmosphere around me . Which means he is working on my behalf . Amen

When I read Matthew 24:34, where JESUS says this Generation shall not pass away till all things be fulfilled.Does that mean that from verse one to verse 33 all of what JESUS said has happened while he was on Earth.or am I reading it incorrectly..

Thanks Emery,

I have had some many instances of where there is that little voice that says, "Don't go there." or "Call so and so." or "pray for so and so" or "Take a different route'" when driving. The Holy Spirit truly does help us in this way.

The word of wisdom seems to me to be a "speaking gift" where someone speaks to another person with godly wisdom concerning a matter and the word of knowledge would be receiving from the Holy Spirit a warning or directive for action. These can mean other things, too. I am studying up on these since asking the question and have found many sites that speak well concerning this topic.

I appreciate your contribution to our conversation.

oops, how did it happen that my reply got posted three times? Sorry about that.

My dear LaTanya

I was thinking of you last night and wanted to find your last post to reply to you to see how you are doing. So good how the Lord works, right? I am to hear you are doing good. I am praying for your heart miracle. God bless you today.

Hello Liz and Charles,

There are many on this forum who speak evil against the Catholic Church. While I am not a Catholic, I do know that, though it has many faults and is imperfect, it was the keeper of the faith for many centuries until the Great Schism and later the Reformation. Like most denominations, there are very good things in the Catholic Church and some things that should be rejected and spoken against. But speaking against what is wrong and speaking against the denomination as a whole are two different things. We should be careful about what we say about those who claim Christ as their Savior as the Catholic Church does and has defended the faith for for far longer than any other denomination. Instead we should pray for Catholics and its leaders to be cleansed of false teachings and add-ons to the gospel, as we should pray for the reform of other denominations of which one knows of teaching that does not align with Scripture. We are to love the brethren and appreciate the contribution of each denomination. I remember back in the 70's that the Catholic church was at the forefront of the Pro-life movement and has remained steadfast in its opposition of the slaughter of these innocent babes. The Catholic Church has some of the longest running charity organizations in America. And they also have one of the longest running private education system. So, we should be respecting these actions that they have been at the forefront of for so many years.

I agree that there are errors in Catholic teaching and when we interact with Catholics, we should hold up the pure gospel of Christ again and again to remind them that it is Jesus who is the focus of our love and devotion and the source for all of our needs and answers for our prayers. Not every Catholic adheres to all of the errors in the church's teachings. So it is important not to lump them all together as being "outside of Christ" anymore that we should lump members of other denominations in the same way.

Dear Liz,

Most people can remember a while back the slogan, "What Would Jesus Do?" or WWJD. This was catchy and popular but a bumper sticker of this does not witness well if you cut someone off on the freeway or exceed the speed limit. So, I think it is a good idea to keep this slogan in mind when we encounter others. We should make a practice of pausing a moment and asking oneself this question. Wait for the Spirit to remind you of what our Lord would do in a situation. And then, do it.

For me, especially when someone mistreats me or speaks harshly to me, etc. I take a moment and pray, Lord teach me to love this person. Tell me what the loving thing to do or say is in this moment (or the next time I see this person). If I have regular contact with this person, I pray for him/her and ask God to increases His love in me for this person. In a prayer I resolve to treat such a person with loving words and actions despite how they treat me. I have learned to hold my tongue and not respond back angrily or judgmentally. I continue to try to return respect and for mistreatment.

It is hard to resist the temptation to retaliate or return in kind. But, I think God uses such situations to teach us to act in loving ways in interacting with people who are difficult to be with. Certainly if someone is abusive to me, I will state that their treatment of me is unacceptable and walk away or determine to cease private interactions with someone like this. If a person presents a danger to me, I get away from such a person as safely as I can. But, most of us do not have such a situation.

In learning to love a person who is difficult, we can remember that love covers a multitude of sins. So, it is important to remember that a big part of loving others is being forgiving towards them. Unforgiveness in us hinders love for the unforgiven person. Also, having an attitude to bless others despite the way they treat us is a way for us to grow in love.

And in verse 54 of judges CH 9 Abimelech sounds like a complete fool and idiot. If he did not want to be killed by a woman than why did he try to burn her alive in a tower with everyone else? It also shows that he really was like Lucifer, wanting to murder that woman along with other people in the tower but did not want her to defend herself from him, because Abimelech was a cowardly dog.

Let me also add this, Paul said we were delivered form this present-day world, back then they didn't live like Christians do today they obeyed the church, and they were a BODY all of one mind (thought) and had all things in common (shared everything with each other equally) there were no have and have nots so this may have been what other were teaching. You have to remember it was Illegal to be a Christian then It'd be like us preaching and setting up churches in North Korea today. Here we are free and yet mostly silent..................

I don't believe it was the Galatians Christians, but Paul wrote that they who went out from among us are not of us and at that time false teachers had already begun teaching circumcision and stick obedience to the law among other things so it was false teachings why Paul wrote to them, and you see Paul say here: 6I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Paul reiterates the gospel to them: 4Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

Most don't recognize as Paul was traveling on his mission and preaching and establishing new churches satan was right on his heels sowing discord and lies, I believe this was the thorn in the flesh Paul prayed about 3 times and God answered him. my grace is sufficient, that's just my opinion tho.

That would appear to be the case and I never notice this before and I've read God's word for over 45 years. I always took as he was transforming or changing from flesh to spirit but after Thomas touched him he said can a man touch spirit.

1 Corinthians 15:52

"In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed."

King James Version (KJV) this is the verse that came to my mind maybe Jesus was I also found this verse

Revelation 12:5

"And she brought forth a man child, who was to rule all nations with a rod of iron: and her child was caught up unto God, and to his throne."

King James Version (KJV) You have some studying to do on this question

A righteous man falleth 7 times and gets up

The River of water that flows into us from the new Jerusalem. Some, say this is metaphorical. Drinking only a little at first then no longer just a drink, but an unending fountain. How wonderful are His ways. Opening the eyes, and ears to see and hear! Many think John has gone off the deep end! Into the depths of metaphors!

This water John speaks of ,We cannot live without it, this water that not only feeds the body, but saturates the soul. The trees the flowers the unending meadows that hold the calves. The oceans that are full and moved at only by the moon over the horizon. This the water of life, some will never taste, some will never see! This water that comes from heaven, for the sake of you and I!

If you have tasted these things that flow so freely, than you have experienced a life that flows from the new Jerusalem!

Remember the number of gates, remember the number, so you are not deceived. Repent and be Baptized

What is it that is said ????

It wasn't a wound, 2 Corinthians 12:7

"And lest I should be exalted above measure through the abundance of the revelations, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, the messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be exalted above measure."

King James Version (KJV)

There is only one way, knowing God's word. When you hear preaching some of them boys can make sins sound good (I'm exaggerating, some) but if you don't know God's word you really have no idea do you. 2Coronthians 13:12 Study to show theyself approved unto God a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

2Timothy3:12Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

13But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived.

14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them;

15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.

16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:

17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

John 14:26

"But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you."

1 John 2:27

"But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him."

And the word was made flesh, Low, I come in a volume of a book it is written of me. You have Jesus right there, The KJV Holy Bible, it's food that will make you grow.

King James Version (KJV)

Hi Liz.

Good Question. I believe love is a fruit of the spirit. When the spirit works in the life of a believer it's God expressing himself through the believer. It is not anything you manifest, It's an reaction. However sometimes we grieve the spirit by obeying the flesh.

Now God doesn't compromise his other attributes when displaying love. such as chastening, Judging or his Holiness. For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. Hebrews 12:6.

And I believe that also his passed on to a mature Christian.

For instance do you express the truth when another believer is in a fault to restore them or do you compromise the truth and bypass them altogether.

Example: Galatians 6:1.

Speaking truth to one another is a way of expressing Gods love, But is sometimes not received very well.

God bless.

God judges the secretes of the heart of man, it's not what you do or don't do it why you do it that matters. But Jesus said if we break man's law we will do every day of our sentence, wasn't it unlawful for David to eat the show bread. Wasn't Jesus and the disciples ordered by the leaders not to speak. How about Daniel? We are now under the perfect law of liberty and yes we are to obey every authority we are under, but nobody is obeying God's word our ultimate and final authority now are we? Do you know what counts? trying your best and the desire to. but remember Abraham's belief was counted as righteousness and when you believe in Jesus yours is to. A righteous man falleth 7 times BUTT GETS UP. God knows we can't perfectly obey his law nor man's law that's why God he sent his son to be the perpetration for our sins. hypocrites remove the log out of one's own eye before removing the tiny splinter out of your bothers eye.

1 Peter 4:8

And above all things have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.

1 Corinthians 13:13

And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity.

1 Corinthians 16:14

Let all your things be done with charity.

Love isn't charity, charity is the manifestation of love, love at work.

Righteousness is simple doing right and love fulfills all the law

We know from Job 1 that he was a righteous man who feared God (reverence, honor).

We see that Jobs kids liked to party. Job would go to church and offer burnt offerings for all of them (verse 5) continually; meaning every time they partied, Job went the next day to cover any sin.

Meanwhile, Satan had obtained permission to test Jobs trust in God and his faith. God had confidence in Job. He allowed it.

Between Eden and the Cross of Jesus's Crucifixion; Satan still had Adams Dominion, Power and Authority to use it. Jesus took it away from Satan later. Satan IS not human. Earth was created for man.

So Satan is like a spy. He sees what we do and figures out our weak areas. He saw Job making sacrifices for his kids and suspected some doubt, fear, over-protection. He purposed to strip Job of everything he loved. He stirred up an F5 tornado and killed the kids, homes, meat animals, crops. All Job had left was a wife with a razor sharp tongue. Satan afflicted Job with skin disease and painful sores that weeped pus.

satan does that stuff whenever he sees an opening in our faith. He sneaks around, uses familiar spirits to dig up dirt on us and our ancestors. He's evil. Family=familiar

Jobs wife tells him to curse God and die. His "friends" drag his character and habits through the dirt he sits in.

At the end, God tells of His majesty, works, power and might. He has storehouses of snow, hail & rain. Do we ever pray for rain in drought? pray for the snow to spread out over great distance so it's less dangerous? Ask for storms to get away from your town? Pray for the hail to be tiny. I do because I love people and animals.

Jesus GAVE US Authority over satan, evil spirits, weather, temptation. We have all that Adam lost. Jesus suffered greatly to give us the authority and the Power in the NAME of Jesus. We pray to Bind (arrest) the evil; we pray for blessings, healing, the finances, a better job, tell the weather to be still.

1 Corinthians 12:28

And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.

1 Corinthians 12:30

Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret?

1 Corinthians 13:1

Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.

1 Corinthians 13:8

Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

1 Corinthians 14:5

I would that ye all spake with tongues, but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

1 Corinthians 14:6

Now, brethren, if I come unto you speaking with tongues, what shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by prophesying, or by doctrine?

1 Corinthians 14:18

I thank my God, I speak with tongues more than ye all:

The end times started when Jesus ascended into heaven and the Catholic Church and the pope well let's just look at their fruits they have committed, Jesus warned of harming children shame on them dude read God's word God says Matthew 18:6

"But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea."

Matt24:35 Heaven and earth shall pass away but my words shall not pass away

If you go to kngjamesbibleonline at the top you will see an icon for MORE click on it click then click on introduction to KJV bible it is the 1769 KJV the 1st page is the decree by King James then the translators to the readers it's about 17 pages and explains what text were used and how many plus the process they used and how many people. I believe they used 27trans scrips of various types and languages. This very inciteful and amazing to see how an entire government at the time ruled under God and how the elites tried to keep the Bible to themselves.
