Why I cannot remember to quote his scriptures when I pray?
In the Old Testament ( Numbers 22-24) when the Israelites were about to enter Hanan the king of Moab Balaam asked the prophet Balam to curce them for him. Balam told him that he will pray to God and what God tells him that he will do.
This is what God said to Balam: (amongst other)
Numbers 23:23 " Surely there is no enchantment against Jacob, neither is there any divination against Israel..."
Numbers 24:9 " ... Blessed is he that blesseth thee, and cursed is he that curseth thee."
If that was true for Israel at that time, then how much more that is true now in NT that we have Jesus Christ's Blood as a shield against evil things? Didn't Jesus said that we have authority on satan? Luke 10:19 "Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you"

It's like a tree with branches. One verse leads to another. I think it teaches patience and persistence.
Every new discovery is a gem or a jewel. Not meant to be hidden in a locked box.
It's humbling to consider the people of Hebrews 11. Long gone, but not forgotten by the Lord. It inspires me. How can I, with my little life, please my Lord?
Jesus said it to Peter, if you love me, feed my sheep; (carry my lambs). Agape love: the God-kind of love.
Love turned inward, dies with me.
is there anywhere in the four (4) Bible gospels (MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN) where it is written that someone or some people wanted to or were trying or planning or intending to or were threatening to Kill the twelve (12) disciples of Jesus Christ? is there such a verse just within the four (4) Bible gospels (MATTHEW, MARK, LUKE, JOHN)? Please, please, help. Thank you.

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 ?

And if a man have committed a sin worthy of death, and he be to be put to death, and thou hang him on a tree:
Deuteronomy 22:26
But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter:
What sins are worthy of eternal death in the lake of fire? Only one that I am aware of and that is rejecting the truth God has revealed to the sinner's heart by the Holy Spirit.
Hebrews 10:29
Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?
What was it that saved David? His repentance, His suffering, is that enough to reconcile us back to God? Would writing books be enough to sanctify oneself, somehow, someway? How did David know He was forgiven and reconciled!
This question, of knowing the forgiveness of sin without works is indeed daunting!
This I do know, there is nothing in me that is good, that even compares too a man such as Christ.
How can I receive the confidence, with the knowledge that I have been forgiven for Christ sake?
Is it possible to KNOW? Even as David knew? Or perhaps He was living in a dream world suffering dementia for all He had been through! What evidence is there? That I am a knew creature? What does it mean too be forgiven of sin? This is truly a mystery!
What is even more mysterious is how it effects you and me!
His promises are all I have! His promise is, that I am now His Son! If you knew me, you would say, how can these things be? You see, now that I am come from the same seed, I am as He is. These things I have nothing to do with!
Only by His mercy, His death on the cross do we receive these things.
Godliness can only be found in Christ, with the forgiveness of sin.
We are no more servants, but now we are as He is , Kings in the household of God!
