It s difficult to minister to others, when you are not spiritually feeding nor standing firmly on the foundation of God s Word . Message: The Holy Bible is truly the Word of God, sealed and delivered with the entirety of His existence. The Holy Bible is a an effective resource that allows us to gain knowledge by firmly grounding ourselves in the Word of God, by reading and comprehending God s law. Therefore, continue to grow in knowledge, love, faith, and harmony, trusting and believing that the Lord is your foundation, that will never blemish or crumble. Because He lives, His Word feeds me. Because He lives, His Love surrounds me. Because He lives, His Blood covers me. Because He lives, His Grace reaches me. Because He lives, His Mercy saved me. Because He lives, His Strength protects me. Because He lives, I Live. Go in peace my brothers and sisters in Christ and know that He is near. Amen Elaine Maxine Howell Teacher Author God Bless :-

Which Church is he talking about?

April; Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD of hosts! Man was expelled from the Garden and the Presence of the LORD because of sin. God hides Himself from men because we are unfit for His Presence; and we would not be able to bear the glory and the conviction. Remember how Mt. Sinai was all on a smoke and if anything came near to gaze, it would be instantly killed? And Isaiah, when he saw the LORD?

As we read these things we tremble. We know that the Judgment of God against those kind of people and their abominations applies to EVERYONE who does the same things. The kind of times themselves are a witness against them; but they do not take it to heart! The Word of God is a witness against them; but they despise and reject the Bible, and make war with everyone who lives by it! How long O LORD?

If we are raptured at the begining of the 7 yrs, as most think, then why after being cast out of heaven at the middle of the 7 yrs, and he knows that he has a short time,3 1/2 yrs, chapter 12:12 of book of Revelation, why is he going after the Christians that are living at that time? There are so MANY scriptures that prove we are going thru the 7 yr trib. To be continued later.

"Knowing this, that the trying of your faith worketh patience." James 1:3 In the context of all that is here being said by James what were the "temptations" in which they were exhorted to rejoice in? Because of the persecution that arose over the matter of Stephen, all but the Apostles were driven out and scattered, to look for new homes as strangers in foreign Countries. The relentless and merciless pursuit by their own countrymen even into far away lands, was terribly cruel. Now adding the temptations that are more common to us all which have to do with our character and sanctification and the chastisements necessary for growth and coming to maturity this is a very excellent and serious instruction! Jesus spent 3 4 of His time in Ministry healing the sick and delivering people from the hold of the devil all in things for their comfort and well being in this present evil world, and in our present condition of humiliations and temptations! Whatever our troubles, and however we are put to the test walking in truth trusting in the Lord over all we see and feel and experience is the walk of victory and overcoming! Let us consider the things that will be for one another's well being and comfort, and regard our own trials and torments as those things sent by our Father for our healing and freedom, and the end everlasting life.

I am studying with the Jehova's witnesses and they say that chapter 8 reveals that Jesus became king in 1914. That is when war broke out in heaven and Jesus cast down satan to the earth. Can someone reveal this to?

"Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:" Luke 6:37 This is a fundamental truth of the Spirit influencing the Saints' whole demeanor and course in life. We do not take our fellow servants by the throat and demand payment of his 50 cents while the Lord has frankly forgiven us 50,000's! But there is also a Satanic influence that misuses this great Word against anyone who obeys the Lord and rebukes sin in the brother or in the Congregation. How many times when I was speaking to a so-called brother in the Lord about the Cross, and walking in holiness, and the purpose of our being here in the last times that all of a sudden they would burst out with, "Judge not!" or, "Call the Cops: You get out of here!" The effects of Jesus' Glad Tidings upon men in the real world, as opposed to the sheltered fantasy world of many church people, are quite remarkable and noteworthy. Why is it MOST OFTEN the response of a church-person when seeing and hearing the true grace of God in someone they explode in anger and accusation, and pouring out hatred and hostility? It wasn't only the Jews that became the Synagogue of Satan when they turned away and rejected the faith!

Rev. 12 (cont. 2) Isn't it a shame that Countries and Peoples who do not know the Lord, nor follow the Bible, have to rebuke with disdain the immorality and pride of America; the land of the Bible and Churches on every corner? The ones with the greatest privilege and HAVING the knowledge of Jesus and the Bible, are become the disgust and laughing stock to the Nations. Read Revelation 17:16-18!

Exactly what is the line between trying to show someone a grievious sin they continue to commit and judging them?

God is good, and his mercy endures forever. God is good he gives power and strength when we pray. And we all will declare with one voice, as others pray and rejoice. With hearts and our mouth we now say GOD is good. We simply serve a wonderful savior. What more can he do? He is worthy to be praise, he is beautiful beyond description, he gives and shows us his mercy, and love everyday. Praise GOD

Lou; are you saying then, that we should just dismiss everything the LORD said about being wise and doing what He says? And what about ALL the writings of the Apostles and Prophets, who spoke in the Name of the LORD, condemning the wicked for NOT keeping God's commandments? Do you think God is afraid that we might think we can save ourselves if we obey Him? "IF YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS."

Any idea why my posts are limited to only 74 characters? On any device....

Lou; Shouldn't your faith be seen in a real conversion and new course in life; and the effect of His saving grace be reflected in your new manner of life? Jesus said many, many times; that if we didn't DO whatsoever He says, and we don't bear fruit; that we would be cut off and die, and NOT be permitted to enter into His kingdom. We keep His commandments and do what He says because we love Him!

Disciple...I certainly respect your belief and opinion concerning the rapture of the church...but I do differ. Revelation 4-22.5 tells us of the things that shall be hereafter...after what? After the saints are caught up as stated in 1 thes.4:14-17. 2 thes 2:7 tells us the church will continue to hinder lawlessness until the rapture, and then antichrist will be revealed. I find comfort in pretrib

"Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God." John 3:5 Why is it most often the case, that as soon as someone starts going to Church and listening to the popular "teachers and preachers" of the day that they all seem to lose their ability to think intelligently anymore? Nicodemus was the Teacher of Israel: how did he NOT know these things that the Lord was talking about? Was he a good and devoutly religious man? Yes! Undoubtedly! But while he was all busy and tangled up in the "traditions and norms" of Judaism, he had no room left to be open to the Spirit's inspiration for giving him even the fundamental understanding of the WHOLE CONTEXT OF THE SCRIPTURES. Consequently he was at a total loss and unable to grasp when the Lord spoke of even the most basic of spiritual truths.

mild Bill; Why do you always look for something to strain out of its intended meaning, and attack me? Every time I try to be friendly, you can't answer peaceably; and whatever I write you wrench out another meaning!

"Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O Tyre, and Zidon, and all the coasts of Palestine?" Jesus Himself answered the everlasting contempt of Israel's evil neighbors: "It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs." If they would repent and believe the Gospel and love God's people He would heal them; but they continue to make themselves enemies for their false prophet's sake.

disciple:No One,No One, until The Father Calls:No Man can come to Me, except The Father which hath sent Me draw him:---. John 6:44 /---Whom He Called,them He also Justified:and whom He Justified, them He also Glorified. Romans 8:30. / Are all Glorified, are all Justified:have all been Called?

Alex, what/who replaces the church?

There is one God(Yahweh) and one Lord and saviour Jesus, who was given the power by the father, why? Col 1:19 because it pleased the Father so, when all things shall be subdued unto him, then the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be in all. 1Cor 15:28 Christ is the first begotten of the dead Rev 1:5 the first of a new creation resurrected to eternity.

26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness ( if god only created Adam and Eve first who did cane marry when he left??? Man was already created before them....?

Concerning his Mother Mary a woman greatly blessed,but she was just a metaphor for the Church that is gonna birth Christ when that woman was praising Mary saying blessed is the womb that bare thee and the paps you have sucked Jesus said MORE blessed are them that hear the word and keeps it His word is the good seed that is gonna form Christ in US. Who is my MOTHER?THEM THAT HEAR TH WORD N KEEPS IT

"Do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate thee? and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies." God commanded the Israelites to show no pity but to utterly destroy everything that breathes of the Canaanites because they were utterly perverted and doing every abomination that God hates. So must our minds be about sin and unclean!

Who gets transformed? Those who hear the word from the fertile ground of faith. What is faith? The turning away from the pleasures of this world for they are not blessings from God but devices of the Devil. Look how many devils entered into Legion: enoigh to drown a herd of swine! Who has faith to be healed? Those who humble themselves, not boasters, those self congradulators who lead us.

Call no man father yet we all our parents mother and father. Is this wrong? Also in the Catholic church, a priest is called father.

"Is it nothing to you, all ye that pass by? behold, and see if there be any sorrow like unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the LORD hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger." Like the women along the way out to the crucifixion weeping and bewailing Jesus, many only see the outrageous disaster of evil that came upon the Lord; but we must see its meaning to us and our children!

God, through Peter on the day of Pentecost, gives us the instruction to salvation. In Acts 2:37, the people asked, "What must we do?" to be saved Then Peter answers in verse 38, Repent "and" be baptized "everyone" of you in the Name of Jesus Christ not father, son, holy ghost for the remission of sins and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. Have you obeyed Acts2:37,38?

Thinking of he forbidden tree was this tree a apple or fig tree ?

Replacement Theology is NO THEOLOGY! Alex, and everyone else who thinks that they are now the Israel of God WITHOUT the real Israel; read the story of Joseph! What was the dream he had? and what was his answer to his brothers afterwards? You meant it for evil; but God meant it for good, to bring about this great salvation...God sent me into Egypt, be not grieved with yourselves! FORGIVENESS!
