    Lew Rutkin David was the beginning of the line of kings out of which would come the Messiah and God gave Him

    Revealed knowledge of Jesus Christ, look at the psalms. Its amazing that David committed adultery and murdered

    to cover it up and yet because of Gods understanding we are but flesh and blood still called David a man after His

    own heart, talk about Grace! I heard a saying once that there is no pit we get into that He is not deeper still to

    pull us out of if we believe!

    The people that were close to God talked to God.Giving spiritual sacrifices as Abraham believed God for children and it was counted to him for righteousness.God say's go Abraham went.God say's stay Abraham stayed.Talk to God he loves you ,and want's the best for you.

    Hi Sister Catherine,

    Wow, I am so happy to hear you have found a good Christian church. It is almost like finding the "proverbial needle in the haystack". So many church's today do not preach Jesus Christs Gospel, nor do they follow God's command's.

    Thanks for sharing your testimony regarding the enhanced lifestyle improvements for you and your son. I'm confident your Mother is happy to see the positive changes in your family, and life, and as you continue to pray for her, God will move her as He moved you, and your son!

    The Holy Spirt will continue to bless you and keep you and your family in a good place.

    Please keep coming back here and sharing your walk in Faith with us! Many here will keep you in our prayers.

    God Bless You, and may Jesus always light your path!

    This chapter is so powerful. It pertains to the things people are doing today.
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Jesse You might be familiar with this hymn which ties into the analogy of sinking in the ocean of

    what I called sin. The tune is Love Lifted me, look it up if you don't know it.
  • Bro dan - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Sister GiGi,

    Thank you for your response, and encouraging words!

    I also concur with you that if we are truly following the Gospel of Jesus Christ we are "performing many actions" that are compelled by Jesus and explicitly required by Him. These actions produce good work/good fruit - and we do it in a humble manner as the Holy Spirit moves us to glorify God! These actions are not by us - but by Him!

    God Bless You!

    Thank you for your reply. This is the conclusion that I have come to as well. If one practices a 7day cycle in their daily lives, and rests on the seventh day, then he is keeping the sabbath in accordance with God's commandment.

    Oscar Page 2 Notice that in what Peter spake 34-43 he never mentions forgiveness of sins to them

    and I believe the reason is given In the beginning of the Chapter verses 1-4 he Cornelius and those who

    knew him were devout and tithed faithful already and prepare for whatever God wanted them to do.

    They already were prepared to believe they just needed to hear Gods word like putting ice

    cream in front of a baby the first time for a taste. Perhaps bad analogy, but it reminds me of the first time

    I heard the word and believed all tension broke and I was in Gods quiet peaceful spiritual ocean of Love

    Keep something in mind this was before anything was written down so they were moving

    strictly by what the spirit was showing them to do, fantastic things to keep in mind.
  • Donna - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Brother Dan, please don't be offended by my inability to comprehend why Jesus would say (after his resurrection) in Matthew 2819 to be baptized in the name of the father the son and the Holy Spirit? And why when people bring up scripture on baptism do they leave that one out if they are trying to focus on acts 238?
  • Rick Mentzer - 4 years ago
    Oscar Acts 10:26 brief overview. Acts 10:1 Background of Cornelius Gentile and devout committed and

    giving and reverenced God in all his house, and prayed to God always again devout. Keep in mind a gentile,

    God sends an angel appearing as a man and it frightened cornelius but Cornelius says what is it lord humility.

    Then these tremendous words of comfort thy prayers and alms have come as a memorial before God

    I.E. He heard You then specific instruction revealed knowledge where to go who to see and where he will be.

    Cornelius sends His best and most devout men to carry this out, next God sets up Peter for this

    tremendous event in the History of the Church. Verses 9-19 is God preparing at great lengths to show Peter

    in Great detail revealed knowledge that he could not know by the five senses only by the spirit what nor to call

    unclean and it was shown three times which represents complete biblically [another study numbers in the bible]

    so He'd get the point.

    Look at Gods timing the moment at the end of the vision so it was still fresh in Peters mind the men

    were at the house from Cornelius. Then after the introduction and showing respect to each other they went to

    the house of Cornelius. Verse 25 Peter came in and out of absolutely awe and respect Cornelius bowed down in

    humility and meekness. Then Peter stand up I am a man like you [notice many were there together]Cornelius

    then they share with each other what God did to get them together verses 27 -33 talk about tremendous heart.

    The Peter being inspired by the spirit verses 33-43 gives the first teaching to gentiles concerning

    and immediately because they already had commitment and respect for God walking the best they knew how

    while Peter was speaking Gods Words by inspired utterance they received power from on high and manifested

    by speaking in tongues which was the evidence. This only touches this tremendous event.

    what is tearfun and the meaning of tearfun please
  • Alex N - 4 years ago
    I love everyone of you....But once ya understand the ENORMITY OF CALVARY....THE Lamb of God, Gods new BLOOD COVENANT.....You will neva again mention water baptism for the REMISSION of sins....Even in the O.T. they had to apply Blood to the DOORPOST not water..But Now under this new Blood Covenant we have to apply his BLOOD TO THE doorpost of our hearts....It was John the bap. that gave us water baptism But John preached BEHOLD THE LAMB OF God that taketh away the sins of the world.....Ya gotta realize Christ Jesus was THE LAMB OF GODS, GODS NEW COVENANT IN HIS BLOOD.

    And his blood is applied by hearing his voice the LIVING WORD...the H.G....Thats y he is saying you are made CLEAN by the Word i have spoken unto you....The thief on the Cross was baptised when he heard Jesus's voice his WORDS etc...NOT WATER BAPTISM which was good b/f the CROSS,...But after the Cross its the BLOOD OF THE LAMB...AND WE DARE NOT TOUCH IT..Its NOT our personal hygiene that defiles US ,ITS OUR HEARTS...Jesus said its the things that come from the heart that defiles a man...We cannot add anything to his NEW BLOOD COVENANT....Lest we make the blood of no effect as Says our Bro, Paul.....There is a baby Christ involved in this NEW covenant...Which is the H.G. the Child of PROMISE....A NEW INNERMAN....A KINGDOM CHILD....unless ya receive the Kingdom of God as a lil Child you will in no wise enter there in....No such Child under water baptism the old covenant.....Simply b/c H.G. baptism was the GREAT PROMISE BAPTISM that new covenant....A multiplication Covenant when God swore by his very self that Christ wd be multiplied as the stars of heaven...Thus the need for the sower and his precious seed to be sown in our hearts that initiates a birth of Christ in US..Thus the King is gonna be born with N US....His multiplication via his seed etc...Smite the Sheppard and the sheep will be scattered then i will turn my hand to the little ones,...The BABES AND SUCKLINGS...The H.G. THE STARS OF HEAVEN.

    Please forgive me i dont find the thread. But it is not one esters day The Holy Spirit came on the first day of Pentecost.

    Thank you for all your patience and understanding. I love you all in Christ
  • Rick Mentzer - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Jesse Its interesting your analogy of falling out of a boat reminded me in the gospels of the storm and the

    disciples woke up Jesus christ and he calmed the sea. He is the Captain of our Salvation and the lighthouse

    of our lives.
  • Child of Yahowa - In Reply on Psalms 23 - 4 years ago
    Thank-you for responding to me I so greatly appreciate it.. All Praises To The Most High..
  • Alex N - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Bro. Dan you do not realize what you are saying....If water cd have washed away our sins then our lord shed his blood in vain and the CROSS was just foolishness...Do you not see this...All the water in the whole world cd not atone for the sins of the world... Luke 16 : 16 Jesus said the law and the Prophets were UNTIL JOHN .since that time the KiNGDOM OF God is Preached and all men press into it.....The Kingdom of God can only come via his WORDS which is baptism of the H.G...The kingdom of God is not in meat or drink but in joy and peace in THE H.G....which was the new covenant in his blood NOT WATER ....Unless ya drink my Blood and eat my Flesh you have no life in you....Its his WORDS that contain the seeds of the KiNGDOM....Sure there were still few water baptising....They didn't realize the enormity of his blood that new Covenant, Thats y the Lord was so upset with Peter commanding water baptism....After he just shed his blood for this new covenant and was baptising folks with the H.G. the ULTIMATE BAPTISM ....What i have made Clean ( by his own Blood the Lamb of God ) Absolutely nothin can be added to it and thats what Peter was trying to do add water baptism to God Almighty New Blood covenant...smh....

    Remember he told that woman at the well whosoever drinks of this water shall thirst again...Thats Water baptism...The Old covenant. Jacobs well But the water that i shall give him shall be a well of water springing up unto everlasting life which is the Gift of God, H.G. BAPTISM .That New COVENANT in his Blood ...The KiNGDOM...Our thirst for Salvation cannot be quenched with h20 water baptism, It can only be quenched by what he did at Calvary that living water that springs up unto everlasting life....All the water in this whole world cannot ATONE FOR THE SIN OF THE WORLD.....If water cd Atone for the sins of the world then our lord shed his blood in vain and the cross was just foolishness....Dan GBU..hope this wakes you ppl up that don't realize its his Blood.

    U have right. We have no need too do nothing. Such preachers are from the master of the dark. God bless u in Jesus Name.
  • Free - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Ohh ill posteded before i was finich. Please forgive me.

    I do understand that not all have the same gift. And that is a big blessing if we think in Jesus body.

    Some time in a meeting i heard a praise song. And it was wonderful.

    All tongues in the congregation is right. And everyone who will hear it will understand. That is right.

    But iv heard some other stuff as well and it was not too me, for at say it so.

    Baptism of the Spirit is when the Gods Word was open for me. And ill song all day for the Lord moustly and still do.

    After that i got only one word. And am not allowed to say it here. Somtimes in spirit when i pray, then i have some secret word.

    And special if it about powers of the spirit iv got a lot.

    Conclusion. Its th Holy Spirit who drive on in the pray. And sometime i dont understand what i pray for.

    And this my friends is a lot of secret. Becouse in that u know that it come from the Lord.

    Ppl cant lie in this stage becouse if some have the Spirit of God in them. All other who have the same will understand it.

    Ill hope for all of us to be gifted with more Heavenly song and pray. Remember all that the Spirit of God is a gift from He that understand everything. And everyone have the spirit who have said it straight out that u belive in Jesus Christ. In one way or another. Look for it!
  • Chris - In Reply on Job 14 - 4 years ago
    Thank you brother T. Levis. I think we all have something to offer, from how we understand the Word to how the Spirit leads us to learn & share. You too, have blessed many with your many Scriptures you share as an answer to other peoples' enquiries - for God's Word speaks more correctly & directly than what we might offer. Blessings.

  • Free - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Oh I did not see that you had already received a good answer Oskar. Apologize for that. God bless
  • Free - In Reply - 4 years ago
    Dear Oskar in peace. Have you read the Law of Moses? If not, you can do it. As you probably know, many of the Jews still have and live under the law of Moses. Peter is here preaching the good gift he has experienced and received from Jesus, namely the Holy Spirit. And in that kingdom there is no need for regulations other than to abstain from things that are for idols, from blood and that which is suffocated, and stay away from fornication. Acts 21:25

    This was revolutionary learning! No one had heard this before. Acts 10:28 and 36-37. Peter and the rest of the apostles had that task and preach this precisely not only to the Jews, but also to those who did not have God's law and 10 commandments, that is, preach to the Gentiles. Can we believe they had Resistance? oh Yes.

    But thank God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. No one can resist it for as long as they want! All who hear will come to the realization of Truth, sooner or later.

    You understand that the Law no longer applies, be it circumcision or sacrifice. Everything we do now is because the Holy Spirit works in us to do what we must do. For example, pray, go preach, guide also further. The Holy Spirit can also specifically ask us to do something we do not want to do.

    These days I have something very special and uncertain for me. So you can pray for me if you are led to it. I have to get an alternative in a way. We need to get certainty, put things to the test. So we not do headless things.

    The Holy Spirit now lives in our hearts we who believe in Jesus Christ - Has the same meaning as the repeal of the law.

    Hope this was an explanation for what you were thinking. God bless you with all the spiritual blessing in the Heavenly world in Christ.

  • Palingal1 on Mark 15 - 4 years ago
    I love, verse 39. Even, when, I started to read the KJV, I knew, this Centurian became a Christian, because, God is in capital letters. And what makes this verse great, is the fact, that this Centurian could have been the one who reviled Jesus the most, and Jesus, thought upon him, while he was on the cross! I believe, we will see that Centurian in Heaven
  • Becki - 4 years ago
    I recently spoke with a Christian man that has theologian friends that dig through scripture intensely and he told me that the tribe of Naphtali when they fought in battle on King David's side ,was made up of a Nephilim hybrid, half man and half lion. I looked up the word "Nephilim" in an encyclopedic version of the King James Bible that I inherited from my mother when she passed away, and the word Nephilim says next to it, to refer to " Naphtali". I know GOD destroyed the world by the flood the first time, because everyone except Noah and his family was genetically altered in that fallen angels had sex with human women and produced a race of giants but it saddens me that mankind is so depraved in the mind that even after that they just kept interbreeding with animals. Can such a creature be redeemed if they have the capability to choose to fight in a war on GOD'S side with David? Would a creature like this have a soul? I'm just asking because I believe that is what a "Bigfoot" is. (a Nephilim hybrid)
