Mishael

Jim In the context I believe concerning sin and its consequences think about this, if adam and eve would not have sinned

would they have died or gotten old and decayed no. Because no effects from the serpent I.E. satan. That being said all

sickness disease illness due to sin in the blood and the life in the flesh is in the blood leviticus 17:11. We are born

Ephesians 2:1 dead in trespasses and sin due to Adam and Eve's transgression or sin. So were all including believers

in the old testament dealing with the challenge of walking true to Gods Word. When David and your right committing

adultery and murder are actions worthy of death in the old testament but God loving David sends a prophet to Him

nathan and Nathan Lovingly shows David His grievous error I mean David was out there spiritually His Self Pride got to

Him and we all pay for sin because the justice of God demands justice so he lifted his hand of protection and the enemy

was allowed to steal and kill. Now David via experience knew Gods Love definitely His grace and mercy because David

had Gods spirit upon him, put sackcloth and ashes on and basically begged to not loose the child. This is not saying

that all children die because a parent committed a sin personally. Every situation is different and there are things that

are occurring now that are a result of the sins of the world which we all battle. You can read when the children got into

serious forms of idolatry that when God walked way the destroyer came wiped out crops land taken over by the pagan

tribes that constantly God gave the warning to not do and the consequences. In Deuteronomy 31:16 the lord told Moses

your gonna die and after that the people are going to go whoring after other gods in strange lands and break my covenant. verse 17 and 18 he will hide His face it doesn't say he is going to do the evils! Everything works when God is in it when he's not. It's open season.

Prayers! I am so sorry for your loss! Seasons like this are very difficult, when emotions seem to rule. Our feelings will lie to us and make us feel forsaken, left alone. Do you believe God's Word is true? If so, His word says God CANNOT lie. "That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:" - Hebrews 6:18

1. He will not leave us or forsake us:

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee. - Deuteronomy 31:6

2. He is with us to the end of the age:

".. and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:20

3. God's peace will guard our hearts and minds:

Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:6-7

*He comforts us in our grief and sorrow*

Psalm 73:26 "My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever."

Revelation 21:4 "And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away."

Psalm 34:18 "The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit."

Psalm 73:26 "My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion forever."

I pray that God's Spirit of peace and comfort surround you, encourage you that you are not alone and put people in your path to help you through this tough trial you are going through. Our ladies group will hold you up in prayer. God bless and keep you in Jesus' name!

Amen and Amen Brother Jesse: God's Works!

Revelation 2:26 .....and keepeth MY WORKS until the end: to him will I give power over the nations ......

Psalms 92:4 For thou, LORD, hast made me glad through THY WORK: I will triumph in the WORKS of thy HANDS.

Psalms 92:5 O LORD, how great are THY WORKS! and thy thoughts are very deep.

Psalms 92:6 A brutish man knoweth not; neither doeth a fool understand this.

God Bless You.

Rick,

Very well said. It is literally translated "Be continually working out your own salvation with fear and trembling."



So this tells me that it's a process and I am involved in the process of continually working it out. And then the very next verse ( Philippians 2:13) tells me who's actually doing the work.

It says "For it is God which works in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure."



The word "works in you" is the word energizing and I see you used that word. For it is God who is continually energizing in you both to will, and to energize of His good pleasure whatever He thinks best!



It's His energy, so it's whenever He wants to energize my spirit for His Spirit to work in me. It's all according to His good pleasure.



So we're to be continually involved in the process of having our salvation worked out because it's God who is working it out. We're just the vessel. But it is God in us doing the work.

Nice talking with you brother!

Hi Natashya When your born again his relationship with you is solid by His will he God through Jesus Christ has

passed tens forgiven us all trespassesor sins, when this thing hits you you will have no problem forgiving someone

else. Also Psalm 103:12 as far as the east is from the west so far has he removed our transgressions sins from us.

Here's the cool part east and west are directions they never meet, there not like the poles, if you go north eventually you'll go south and vise versa but when you go west you will never catch up and go east. Look at

the point that's being made God through Jesus Christ forgave our sin past present and future because he knows as the Psalmist says in verse 14 for he knoweth our frame and we are dust, but to us who believe His mercy and love

and forgiveness endureth forever.

Read whole Psalm its dynamite. Last thought If you look at yourself you'll become

doubtful if you look at the world you'll get depressed if you look at others you can become miserable but when you

look at Christ you will see all Gods possibilities made available to you. We are the Righteousness of God in christ!

What you look at and believe you become! Food for Thought

GOD BLESS

Jesse In Philippians 2:12 second half work out your own salvation or wholeness with fear and trembling,

Work or energize out with Gods help via the spirit your own salvation or soundness with fear[awe] and

trembling [reverent respect to the one making you whole].

Thanks Rick,

That's how I see it. Any labor on my part which is not under the persuasion (PEITHO/faith) of God's Spirit, that labor is in vain. I was just reading through Galatians Chapter 3, and Galatians 3:3 stood out to me which says "Are ye so foolish? having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh?

So Paul is addressing these people (Celtics/Gauls), and he's basically reminding them that they received Christ by faith, but after being saved by faith, are you now made perfect by the flesh (Human works)? They were being told that they could receive the Messiah but they still needed to keep the law in order to be saved. But in Galatians, we are told grace/faith are not to be mixed with fleshly works.

Today, people are being told that you are saved by faith alone, but once you're saved, then your salvation becomes works based. There's only one thing a person must do and that is to surrender their life to Christ.

If we began in the Spirit by faith, are we now made complete, or mature, by the works of the flesh? I can't speak for anyone else, but personally for myself, there isn't anything that I can do in the human. In fact, the more I do in the human when it comes to the things of Christ, the more I take away from His finished work. I can't add to it. I can only receive and believe!

Thanks again for your encouragement. God Bless!!!

Jesse Good stuff When WE work so hard without spiritual help we accomplish so little, and our labor is

in vain. Ecclesiastes 12:13 the whole duty of man.

Natashya,

The Lord will forgive you every time you come to Him and ask. If you have received Jesus Christ into your life, been born of His Spirit, you have already been justified (Declared not guilty) as far as your salvation goes. If you belong to Christ, you will never see Hell. Surrendering your life to Christ does not mean that you need to keep "trying to get yourself together." Surrender means just that. You are surrendering to Christ and relying on His Spirit in you to transform your life.

Now, it doesn't mean that you will never slip up. None of us can go through life completely free from sin. That's why we are always dependent upon our Savior. The issue might be that you are trying in your own effort to get things right, when in reality, you should be approaching the Lord on a daily basis and confessing to Him "Lord, I can't do this without you. I need you to transform me into the person you would have me to be." It has to be that way. Personally for myself, if it wasn't for the Lord working in me, I would be a complete failure in life.

Natashya, I would say to you to stop putting so much burden on yourself trying to get things right, and cast it upon the Lord and ask Him to change you because you can't do it. None of us can. I like to think of it this way, and this is the reason why I love sailboats. Whenever I see a sailboat, it ministers to my heart. What I see is that I'm like a motor boat with the motor always running. I'm non-stop in how I might please the Lord. But the Lord tells me that it's time for me to turn the motor off, hoist up the sail, and go wherever the wind (His Spirit) takes me.

So again, stop trying so hard. Whatever it is, give it to the Lord and let Him work out in you His perfectness. It has to be Him doing the work, not you!!!

Hello Natashya,

You might consider reading this: Matthew 18:21-22 Also the parable of the talents after that is also about forgiveness. The summary of this is: Matthew 6:14.

As a Christian following in the footsteps of Jesus our sins are covered by grace as long as we are choosing to follow Jesus. 70x7 basically means a LOT and nearly unlimited. If we're genuinely following Jesus we can have assurance of salvation. But messing up is one thing, but deliberately sinning is another. Hebrews 10:26.

Jesus throughout the Bible challenges everyone including believers to avoid sin. Over and over He said that. The problem is some assume that when they become a Christian you can stop what you're doing, because they believe they're already 'saved' and can commit unlimited sin and evil pleasure they desire and not worry about any consequences. Some even say its bad to do good, because you're putting in 'human effort'. Beware of lies aimed and distorting God's truth. I believe scriptures say the opposite: I believe when you become a Christian you START your journey towards Jesus and work towards developing your character to be more and more like Jesus and a key part of this is NOT SINNING! So, some believe they can and should put zero effort into this 0 of 10. But I believe we should put max effort into this: 10 of 10.

John 14:15,

2 Peter 1:5 says to be diligent. One translation says 'make every effort'

Luke 13:24 says to 'strive to enter through the narrow door'

2 Timothy 2:15 'do your best'

Luke 6:46 - don't call Jesus Lord and fail to do what He says

There are verses about entering God's rest, but I believe it means a spiritual rest and not physical where we're just sitting on the couch all day binge drinking and eating. The Bible says we'll be persecuted for our beliefs, that this is not our world, and we're to run the race as to receive the prize. All this suggests great effort in my opinion, but we're not saved from that effort, but by grace.

God bless...

How many times will I be forgiving while trying to get myself together ? And what will happen if I'm trying and still don't get it right will I go to hell

I take it to believe "yea", may not be him rejoicing but even that, has scripture backing Philippians 4:4-9, James 1:2-4, 1 John 4:18,

even if we walk in/near death we should not fear because GOD promises to be with us (that trust in HIM) Deuteronomy 31:8, Hebrews 13:5-6, John 14:16-21, Psalm 139:1-24, Psalms 37:40,

The rod; Proverbs 13:24, Job 21:9, Proverbs 29:15, Lamentations 3:1, many times references discipline, correction: Proverbs 22:15, Proverbs 23:14, Proverbs 3:12, Hebrews 12:4-8-11, Staff: Hebrews 11:21, Zechariah 8:4, Exodus 21:19, Numbers 22:27, 2 Samuel 3:29, Judges 6:21

Hopefully these scriptures help you with the HOLY Spirit to understand deeper. John 14:26, James 1:5

I love the Almighty God and also Jesus jehovah thank you for raise isal children for ever greatful

You are replying to a comment by "Pst. Onyi Egbu"

Hello Onyi,

If the verse doesn't say we don't know.

however, what we do know is in Exodus 6 Moses

told Jehovah God ( psalm 83:18) that he was circumcised in lips.

Moses felt that his speech was cut off. you can think of someone with a stuttering

defect. sometimes in old age people voice is choppy or weak. especially some more then others at the age of 100 years old or more.

What the bible does tells us is that Moses was 120 years

old when he died. Deuteronomy 31:2,14; Joshua 1:2

Verse 6-we need to rely on Jehovah God and trust that he will never forsake us or abandon us.

This song of Moses is given in the next chapter, Deuteronomy 32:1-43. Sometimes, to help God's Word to be held in memory in a better way & also to be passed onto succeeding generations, songs were employed.

What was the song God told Moses to write and teach to the Children of Israel? Verse 19

So question to get people thinking. "My God, My God why have you forsaken me"? Did God actually forsake Jesus? If so, does that make God a liar? Because He says in Deuteronomy 31:6 "...the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." He even repeats it in Hebrews 13:5. So does that mean that God loves us more than Jesus? His perfect son? The son who delighted in him? Well Psalm 147:11 disagrees with that. "the LORD delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love." So why did he forsake him? Is God a liar? Did he change his mind? no and no! "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine..." 2 Tim 3:16 and Hebrews 13:8, "Same yesterday, today, and forever."

So we have a problem, either the bible is wrong or we're wrong. The common argument to this is that, "God's wrath was so much, because sin was so bad." To which I reply, is God a god of wrath? or of Mercy? "The LORD is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in love," Psalm 103:8. They say, well it was a long time, but time is nothing to God, "With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." 2 Pet 3:8. No, God wasn't so angry. There's something else here. When Jews memorized the bible, they didn't have verses, they memorized the first sentence in a chapter as it's name. And guess where that first sentence appears? Psalm 22, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" Read the Psalm, whether Jesus said the whole psalm and it was recorded as just the title or not, doesn't matter, that is what he meant, and his disciples new it. This isn't a psalm of poor me, but of love, mercy and restitution! Jesus's last words were, "They will proclaim His righteousness, declaring to a people yet unborn: He has done it!" HE IS PRAISING GOD! Not crying out! He just recited the prophesy of his death, bones out of joint, pierced hands, flogging to show bones! God didn't forsake Jesus, Jesus praised God!

This is a starting point for Nat'l Day of Prayer.

Heavenly Father:

In Jesus' Holy Name, forgive me for not bringing up my children in the Way, the Truth and the Life. Forgive me for not confessing my sins and for not bearing fruit worthy of repentance. Forgive us as a nation for our failure to properly parent 96% of our children and our children's children. Forgive us for our worldliness, for our pride and for our false idols. We ask that, through our children, you complete your Sovereign Will and command to Go and make disciples of all nations. Help us now to repent, personally and as a nation. We pray this prayer in the Name of Jesus Christ, the Name above all names, the King of kings and the Lord of lords, under which every knee shall bow and every tongue confess that He is Lord. Amen

Dear Christian Warriors:

Sadly, some parents seem to teach this mantra: "Do what I say, not what I do." Unfortunately, this doesn't work. Even our Perfect Father God sent Jesus Christ as an example so that we would have a role model to follow.

The cure for our failing national morality is for parents to REPENT FIRST and THEN the children will follow.

Scripture tells us to bring our children early to the House of God ( 1 Samuel 1:24) and to train them in the ways of God ( Deuteronomy 31:12,13; Proverbs 22:6; Ephesians 6:4). Even at a young age children can seek and "speak" God's strength.

We have now largely robbed children of that Promised experience. Recent statistics by George Barna show that only 4% of "millennials" have a Biblical worldview, 96% are open to the changing morays of a humanistic culture. Sin has almost disappeared as a concept. They don't know what they don't know.

Join me in repenting in ways that we have failed as parents and as a culture to train our children to walk in God's Way, Truth and Life. Parents are the most influential role models for our children and we must not allow them to be passively taken over by today's media and declining culture.

Where 2 or more are gathered together in Jesus name; He is in the midst of that prayer. In Jesus Name I am in agreement for the favor of the Lord to open doors for you in this move. I pray you would have His favor with all people that you encounter. I pray He would direct you to safe neighborhoods and near a church that you and your kids can grow as a Christian in.

Every morning pray that all hindering and harassing demons be bound up by the Name of Jesus, and cast into outer darkness. Speak: Resist the devil and he must flee now! In Jesus Name.

((Take care of your bodies; eat and get enough rest. Ask for help. It helped me to just rent a storage unit to put non-essentials in. Give donations to an orphanage if you can.))

We agree together, Lord, that we will submit to your guidance and help. Thank you for being my Savior in all things.

3. Deuteronomy 31:8 "The Lord himself goes before you and will be with you; He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."

4. Proverbs 3: 5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."

5. Psalm 32:8 "I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my loving eye on you."

9. Isaiah 43:19 "See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland."

11. Psalm 18:2 "The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold."

May God bless

With all your concerns, and some fears: keep repeating this scripture by speaking it out, until it takes root in your spirit.

Deuteronomy 31:6

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Isaiah 26:3

You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.

Mishael

"Be strong and of a good courage"- If you look throughout the bible, it always comes up!

Like in Deuteronomy 31:6=Be strong and of good courage and in Daniel 10:19= And he said...be strong and of good courage." And you can find it in other places throughout the bible.

so if it isnt already obvious !BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE (especially with the corona virus going around) Who needs hand sanitizer when I have Christ?

Deuteronomy 20:3

And shall say unto them, Hear, O Israel, ye approach this day unto battle against your enemies: let not your hearts faint, fear not, and do not tremble, neither be ye terrified because of them;

Deuteronomy 31:6

Be strong and of a good courage, fear not, nor be afraid of them: for the LORD thy God, he it is that doth go with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee.

Deuteronomy 31:8

And the LORD, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.

Wow, in every nation there lies an oppressed people, the remnant seed of the Ancient Israelites on whom Genesis 31:29 speaks of now occurring in the 'latter days'. For those of us who are of the ancient seed, and have become the true worshipers of God in spirit and in truth in Jesus Christ our hiding place, these curses have no impact on our lives.

"And Moses spake in the ears of all the congregation of Israel the words of this song, until they were ended".
Moses gave many ways to the Israel. the Commandments and the Songs. these indicates that the Israels were of similar character like us. As Moses labored for them, connecting God, every single day speaking of GOOD behavior, yet when they landed in Canaan, they lost sight of ways of God. we
