Discuss John 16 Page 7

Dear "Abigail Watts" i see that you have not received a reply for several days. It is correct to understand that only adultery can justify remarriage. If it is important to a person. Now this applies to the husband.

Join me on a little journey in God's word. Jesus says several times that He is one with the Father, example John 17. Actually, you get your answer there. We are also one with Jesus through the Holy Spirit.

We have a Father God, (and a husband Jesus). So when we are unmarried, for example, when we meet Jesus we become one with Him as a spouse would become. And we become one with Him if we are married too.

Now it is the case that Jesus knows all our thoughts and needs of various kinds. Because He Himself has experienced things by being here on earth as a human, right? But the gifts we get by believing in Jesus, i.e. the Holy Spirit, will guide us to the whole truth. John 16:13 and mm. The Holy Spirit should be able to make us strong to stand against all evil, including carnal desire.

But to cut a long story short. Shall we say that the day we made the choice to follow Jesus we were married to Him. On that day we put away all sin, for sin shall have no more dominion over us. Romans 6:1-11

Because we have been born again into a sinless human being. Became a lover with Divine love and got to meet the Truth Himself, and receive all the good gifts Lord Jesus gives.

Now the question is? Are you standing in this first love. Yes, you will be because nothing should be able to separate us from God's love. Romans 8:35-39

We will always long for Him, have fellowship with Him whom we love, right? Revelation 2:1-7

I read the word that you refer to as adultery on all sides. The only one who can do right is the one who has become a simpleton. Or the person who has never married, he does not get carnal desire either. And that is good. In marriages of true love, there are never questions or accusations. Jesus will also be there He loves us, i loves u in Christ. John 19

Revelation-introduction

The theme of "was; is and is to come" is seen in both Revelation 1:8 and 4:8. With the book of Revelation talking about the "Alpha and Omega" and describing the glorified Christ where John fell at His feet as though dead (1:17); not to mention the theme of His opening the seal judgments; being the sole victor at Armageddon; and ruling on earth it is inconceivable that some have actually suggested that Christ ISN'T the main theme of the whole book of Revelation.

The fate of every individual; whether taking the mark of the Beast or not; and of all who are saved or lost; what their judgments will be; and the absolute determination of the time and manner of judgments is determined by the Godhead alone; specifically the Father and Son. Only those who have the Spirit are those "wise who will understand". ( Daniel 12:10; to be read in context with the rest of the verse). God will indeed use the Tribulation to sanctify some; to do a quick work on the earth. But the unregenerate despite whatever facts that they have at their disposal curse God; and rebel against Him whether during the worst trial the world has ever seen ( Mark 13:19); as well as after the descendants of the survivors of the Tribulation into the Millennium who have the BEST world imaginable who follow Satan in the last rebellion.

The wicked truly will think they are doing God a favor in killing true believers ( John 16:2). We have seen these things before in history with martyrdom; but never at the scale and madness of the Tribulation. We need to see the intensity of that time as part of the great final harvest; a purification to finally wake up the nation of Israel (the one third who come to faith in Zech. 13:9) as well as bring in those of an uncountable number who hear the message of the 144,000 ( Rev. 7:9-17). The consummation of the ages brings His church back to rule and reign with Christ and then final judgment of the wicked. Then comes a sinless new heaven & earth.

Exodus Ch. 26

In this chapter, the tabernacle is described in detail, from the curtains, to the pillars, to the hooks and fasteners, to the wood overlayed in gold or brass, to the brazen altar for sacrifice, to the roof of skins, to the veil before the Holy of Holies. There were a lot of specific measurements concerning the tabernacle. God was exacting in his requirements since the tabernacle was a representation of what was true in heaven.

For me, what stood out was the care that was taken about making the tabernacle enclosure somewhat impenetrable except when one went through the front entrance. There is only one way to the presence of God, that is through the body and blood of Jesus Christ, the door. No other way is possible to come into the presence of the Godhead.

Also, once inside the tabernacle, there was an outer court and an inner court which was curtained off. Inside this Holy of Holies was the ark where the presence of God was manifested to the high priest only, once a year. This reminds us that it is Jesus only who can stand before the Father, who dwells in impenetrable light. Jesus is worthy to stand before the Father and live, not us. He is the Mediator between God and man, He alone. No other being can reconcile us to God nor bring needs and prayers. Jesus is our intercessor before the Father. All of our prayers and requests go through Jesus to the Father. That is why Jesus told us that our requests will be answered by the Father in the name of Jesus. ( John 16:23) In Hebrews it says that because the curtain was torn in two between the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies, giving us entrance to the Presence of the Father, however the curtain is Jesus body, sacrificed on the cross for us. So, if we are ever to stand before the Father, it will always be with Jesus, not on our own, and it is because we are "in" Him that we can be brought into the Father's presence.

We shall see how this goes when we get to heaven and possess all of our inheritance.

Nelson:

Your not understanding the truth of God's word.

The blood of Christ COVERS ALL SIN.



John 16:8 And when he (the Holy Spirit) is COME (he came at Pentecost) he will reprove the world of sin ....

John 16:9 Of SIN; because they BELIEVE NOT ON ME (truth);

No knowledge of God's word.

Zechariah 3:1 And he shewed me Joshua (Christ in you) the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD; and SATAN (unbelief, deception) standing at his (Christ's) right hand TO RESIST HIM (TRUTH).

Christ is now THE LIFE in you.

You; Nelson (sinful flesh), died on the cross of Christ.

The LIFE now IN YOU is the LIFE OF CHRIST.

Christ cannot sin: your his body, the body ONLY DOES what the LIFE causes it TO DO.

Philippians 2:13 For it is God (Christ in you) that worketh IN YOU both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

1 John 3:9 Whosoever is BORN of GOD doth not commit sin (because the new birth in you is CHRIST); for HIS SEED (the Holy Spirit) remaineth in HIM (the new creation in Christ Jesus): he CANNOT SIN, because he is born of God.

Ezekiel 36:27 And I will put MY SPIRIT (GOD) within you, and CAUSE you to walk in my statutes, and you shall keep my JUDGEMENTS, and DO THEM.

Few find the WAY:

Matthew 7:14 ...narrow is the WAY, which leadeth unto LIFE, and Few there be that find it.

Nelson; walk in the TRUTH and FREEDOM of Christ's words.

God Bless YOU, his (Christ's) BODY.

Dear God Father in heaven in the sacred name of Jesus Christ. The one who triumphed over the world. We ask the Lord Jesus that Sunil Kumar, and all that we all pray to get the Holy Spirit to go out into the world and save ppl who are lost in Jesus holy name. And the depression never come back. And will always thank You Master Jesus forever. Amen.

John 16:5-15 stay strong in the word,, and Jesus loves u, i in Christ.

The comforter is the Holy Spirit...there are three different functions of the Godhead :The Father God, The Son Jesus Christ & the Holy Spirit that lives in us through Christ

Hi Robert.

I concur with Street preacher.

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.

The Holyspirit always has been in the world, and his ministry requires much study to get a good understanding and it can be very fruitful.

I hope this helps.

God bless.

Hi Robert ....Its like Child birth...But the Child of PROMISE is the H.G. which is Spirit thats y he is saying that which is born of the Spirit is Spirit....And whosoever recevieth one such Child in my name recieveth me....It is expedient for you that i go away....Had he gone away the book cd not have been opened....Which contains the good seeds... his words of that New Covenant...that gives birth to the H.G...Emanuel....When he breathe on them they receiveth the GOOD SEEDS ONLY....There had to be a time of gestation as the H.G. is a spritual Child that has to be born in us....That new Born babe desiring the sincere milk of the word is the H.G. as that which is born of the spiirt is spirit a living being that has to come in his name as he is the FATHER OF IT....Glorification is Child birth...But Jesus was not Glorified till he breathe on them....As his breath was his words his Seeds etc....But the actual child the H.G...was not born till Pentacost...That mighty rushing wind was the H.G....As the H.G. was not yet given simply b/c Jesus was not yet Glorified....But on the day of Pentacost he was Glorified....The name of the H.G IS EMANUEL...To whom the word came his seeds it made them Gods....Read John 16 you see a picture of gestation via his words his seeds etc....B/C i have spoken these Words sorrows have filled you hearts....When a woman is in travail she has sorrows...Childbirth

......Thats y Peter was saying this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel....When God will pour out of his spirit on all flesh and Jesus refers to this as the Promise of his Father.....Which was glorification meaning multipliciation by his seed the words of that book that he wrote with his own blood....As the H.G. cannot be born in us without his seed....Thats y he has to know us....Even in the natural there has to be an intimacy so the seed can be sown in her....But God spoke of 2 glorifications....Meaning there has to be another one soon....When the book is opened....ok lemme go

John 16: 7 Christ is speaking and is leaving so who is the comforter that he will send?

Thanks Gigi.

I'd like to say something about the oil filled lamp stand. It was beautiful and it gave light to the holy place, the place of worship. It was a shaft with 6 branches, three on each side. The shaft and the 3 sides held the lights and the stand represents our Lord Jesus Christ. He's in the midst of the candlesticks/branches. The light is the Holyspirit and shows the beauty of the lampstand our Lord.

"He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. John 16:14."

God bless.

This chapter gets into the trials and tribulations of the saints (v. 4); and the subsequent judgment of God in verse 6. One can't help but wonder how great the accumulated sins from the dawn of the church age until now is; and how it factors into wrath once it finally transpires.

(see Rev. 18:5).

Verses 7 through 10 make it clear that indeed the return of Christ; destruction of enemies (in Armageddon and judgment in hell); as well as our promotion ruling and reigning on earth in the Millennial period (verse 10) factors in. There are 3 passages that state every knee shall bow and every tongue confess ( Isaiah 45:23; Philippians 2:10 and Romans 14:11).

We are not to seek vengeance ( Romans 12:19). However; we are doing God no favors by attempting to dampen down a character attribute that He has; in this case rewarding His saints and punishing the wicked. Perhaps those who being persecuted are the best examples of those who understand the need for Divine justice. The saints under the throne in Revelation certainly aren't scolded for asking "how long" ( Rev. 6:9); with response in verses 10-11. With Paul and the churches under heavy persecution at this time this was a necessary statement; and the frequent reminder to endure until the end. In order to warn others of the wrath to come; we certainly must believe in eternal judgment and a literal hell.

If we think people simply cease to exist (or are annihilated) it dumbs down the message and doesn't help anyone to have full conviction of sin ( John 16:8-11).

Please Lord God heal William of this affliction. Please open the doctor's eyes on his case to find the cause. Please Holy Spirit enrich William with guidance in biblical scriptures that will comfort him and bring in to closer relationship with You The Divine God Head I pray in the name of Jesus Christ!

Please consider reflecting on these scriptures: 2 Corinthians 12: 7-10, Psalms 46:1-2, John 16:33, Matthew 6:33-34, Psalms 121, Psalms 91.

John 16 Predestination

This continuation of the discourse to the 12 Apostles was on the way to Gethsemene. This attitude of caring for His own is much reminiscent of Paul when he had an idea that his death was coming (although much delayed in comparison). Jesus from the end of this discourse clearly could see He had overcome and that He would have victory over death. This would allow for His death to atone for the sins of all His chosen; then He would be resurrected as verse 16 and on defines. The Holy Spirit coming as He did at Pentecost would be the benefit for all God's children based on the departure back to heaven.

Of course they still didn't get what was being said; the plain talk seemed to convince them that He had come from God in verse 30. It seems puzzling why they didn't get it from what they said were proverbs in verse 29. Surely He had explained numerous times the situation including in this chapter but the Lord didn't let them understand in the flesh. Such things prove once again the Godhead is revealed by God's sovereignty; and that holds for each member of it. Therefore; it is an all or nothing thing; we either comprehend the Father; Son and Holy Spirit or we don't know any of them.

This is why understanding the spirit that is controlling man or whether it is indeed the Spirit of God takes discernment. One could read the Word; attempt to be peacemakers; do all sorts of good things but it is in the flesh or in the spirit of humanism that is hypnotized to believe that there is something inherently good in man. This is why physical beauty; mental acuity; accomplishments; emotional empathy and so many other things can seem to be from God but it is from a fallen nature. To love those who love us compared to those who despitefully use us is no better illustrated than here where Christ died for those who were enemies to God. ( Eph 2:3).

Adam GBU....But i see Jesus being more God then man....He neva did sire any flesh or blood Children.....But he did sire spirits when he breathe on some I believe he was reproducing very Gods as God is Spirit....They were impregnated by his seeds, His Word as his breath was his words and his words are his seeds.....And in John 16:6... He says b/c i have spoken these Words ( his seeds ) sorrows have filled your hearts....Then he describes a woman with sorrows as being with Child.....But after the Child comes her sorrows are turned into Joy....Then he said ye therefore have sorrows but i will see you again then your sorrows will be turned into joy...At Pentacost that mighty rushing wind was the H.G. and it was a spritual birth....He saw them again in the spirit of the H.G. the Children of Promise....Whosoever receiveth one such Child in my name receiveth me...He cd not have refered to the H.G. as the Promise of my Father if the H.G. was not the very multiplication of God....the Original Promise was multiplication of Christ seed.. WHEN GOD SWORE BY HIMSELF....And that is y the woman in Rev 12:5 is giving birth to the Children of Promise the H.G. SPIRITS.....Thus i believe that Jesus is the Father of the H.G...As the H.G. Emanuel cannot be born in humanity without the seed of Christ sown in mans hearts.....Remember what Peter said being bornagain of an incorruptible Seed by the words of our lord....Jesus said that which is BORN of the spirit is spirit...My words are spirit n life....The good seeds of our Lord are able to Reproduce very God....Thats y he is saying To whom the word ( his seed ) came it made them Gods and the scripture cannot be broken....Thus the H.G. IS TRULY THE GRANSON A HEAVENLY JACOB THAT 3 RD PERSON ....That is gonna result in an Israel of God that is gonna be as the Stars of Heaven....Our new heart and new spirit...the new heaven and new earth...But the Book has to be opened 1st as God told Daniel in 12...About the words of wonder th New Covenant.

John 12 and Predestination

This section goes from they did not believe (as seen in John 6:64; 8:46 and others) to verse 39 of this chapter which states that they COULD not believe as prophesied in Isaiah 53:1.

Verse 42 serves as a harsh reminder that we can have belief in Christ but we also must CONFESS with our mouths ( Romans 10:9-10) in order to have saving faith. We are reminded here of Luke 16:15 which states that which is honorable among men is an abomination to God.

Here; it was praise of men that was the cause; and being thrown out of the synagogue; not even direct physical persecution.

Verse 48 reminds us of the conviction of the Spirit as mentioned in John 16:8; a few chapters later. Clearly; the whole Godhead works as a unit in tandem in ways mysterious to man.

Verse 40 goes on further to state from Isaiah about God Himself blinding men. Some other verses on that include 2 Thessalonians 2:11 where God Himself sends strong delusion so that they will believe the lie because of the previous verse where they did not LOVE the truth. Also we have Isaiah 66:4 where it says that God will choose their delusions.

All sin stems from self justification; and self love that cannot accept the true state of our souls as fallen man because of Adam and his progeny that makes up natural man. Naked we come into this world and naked we shall go ( Job 1:21); also see Ecclesiastes 5:15. We cannot love anything above God; Jesus uses the word HATE for anything else ( Luke 14:25-26). We see the general sentiment in verse 25 of this chapter. Clearly; Christ Himself showed love in the previous chapter for Lazarus; Mary and Martha as well as John when He said "Behold your mother" to John at the cross so that he could take care of her. ( John 19:26-27).

There were times when they sought Him out when He stated the more important principle that those who followed Him were brothers; sisters; etc. ( Luke 8:21).

The blueprint for being a child of God or not is in John 12.

Dear Nats:

Even if I say Giannis has explained it very well, if you not "Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost." 2 Peter 1:20-1. I can only perceived by reading "Nats if Jesus is God" you are still searching if Jesus Christ is God. I would be happy to show you how to be saved and obtain the Holy Spirit. Only then the verses you have inquired about will make sense to you because the Holy Spirit will guide you to the truth.

In John 10:36 Jesus Christ himself said He is the Son of God. If you read the entire conversation between the unbelieving Jews and Jesus Christ they will not believe no matter how anybody explained it to them. It is already prophesied in Isaiah 6:9-10, Isaiah 42:20; Jeremiah 5:21; Acts 28:27; Roman's 11.8

In John 14:28 the situation was that Jesus was about to fulfill another prophesy and that was to die on the cross for the sins of the world 1 John 2:2. 1 Corinthians 15:1-4; Colossians 2:2-3. When Jesus was buried and rose again the third day according to the scriptures, Jesus fulfilled what God the Father sent Jesus to do on earth. The mystery is that God the Father is greater than Jesus the Son of God. Remember Jesus came to Virgin Mary from God the Father. Then Jesus has to go unto the Father after Jesus rose the third day so the Comforter (i.e. Holy Spirit) will be fulfilled. John 14:16; John 14:26; John 15:26; John 16:7. There is only one God. Romans 3:30; 1 Corinthians 8:6; Ephesians 4:6; 1 Timothy 2:5; James 2:19. Hope this helps and that you be saved soon. Good question.

John 3 Predestination

In the discourse to Nicodemus; the Godhead is once again refered to as "we" in v. 11. The famous John 3:16 has been used to raise an apparent contradiction. The "whosoever" has been considered the elect according to some. We should also keep in mind that we ALL were a part of the world before we were saved. Therefore; that shows our limit to the scope of time and space to the specifics of when we went from death to life. We should also bear in mind that there is a process involved where the Spirit convicts of sin; righteousness and judgment to come ( John 16:8). Repentance is also said to be something granted by God ( Acts 5:31; etal). Our own consciousness even in a darkened state can recognize consequences for sin and fear judgment

but until we see the light and undergo a heart change we won't want to be reproved (v. 20). (also see Ezekiel 11:19). After we are saved; there must be good works and continuing sanctification as v. 21 alludes to. Therefore; there is transformation occurring before we understand and make a verbal confession; and it continues throughout our lives.

The last part of the passage from verse 22 on show Johns discoursse; once again highlighting election. Verse 27 states that a man cannot recieve anything unless it be "given him from heaven". This theme is repeated in v. 31 and 32 that with earthly uderstanding no man receiveth his testimony (v. 32). Verse 33 seems to show to some extent how a believer is sealed as is shown in Ephesians 1:13-14 (I could use further clarification of that). Nonetheless; v. 36 again shows that someone who believes "on the Son" has everlasting life; and the contrary for those who don't including God's wrath.

The end of this passage is given more detail in other scriptures; including John. We must not only believe; but do as He says; for those who love Him will keep His commandments ( John 14:15). This makes love for one another paramount ( John 13:34)

Thanks. I am going to study John; then be out of town at the end of next week for4 or 5 days. I have had time to put a lot of material on this site; which will be somewhat reduced this fall Lord willing when I am scheduled to go back to my part time job.

There are things in my own life that need work; as we all do. As you stated; most people are aware of the 2 points of view. I can't see any other view than God's predetermined plan in John. Since John is the first gospel and often the main thing new believers re expected to read; I thought it was particularly relevant. Also; there is a focus on much of what Jesus Himself said; which certainly reflects later in the epistles of Paul; as well as even the book of Revelation.

The best we can do is trust God; read all things with integrity (i.e. in regard to verses mentioning the "whole world" and man's responsibility) and focus on what we do know. That requires us to test ourselves to see if we are in the faith. ( 2 Cor. 13:5-6).

It also involves our resolution and desire to heed His voice; at least in determining our spiritual maturity; and hence REWARDS we recieve or are withheld from because of the quality of our service. A primary issue is whether God can break trough beyond what all humans can perceive; that is the invisible creation and Godhead as Romans 1 indicates. There are muddy issues involved; for instance if God hears prayers of the wicked (Job would seem to deny it but we must keep in mind not all the advice given to him was appropriate). There are other prayers of the wicked at their death calling to God which scripture indicates at some point He will ignore. ( Jeremiah 11:14 for one).

Nonetheless; IF a person genuinely asks God to show them the truth; and they are willing to find out no matter how bad; I have to believe He will reveal sin righteousness and judgment to come ( John 16:8). God's Holiness must be revealed as beyond any so called virtue of human love to be saved as i see it.

Tongues

I have never spoken in tongues; although felt on the verge of it on occasion. I had been told by Pentacostals that I had to speak in tongues to be saved; which clearly is errant as God gives gifts severally as He chooses. Nonetheless; I am not going to discount that it is still occurring today; as I have known examples of those in my life with that gifting. However; it is clear with the Kundalini type spirit as one false manifestation that a demonic tongue certainly exists as do many imitations by Satan of God's good gifts from above. Again the lack of discernment is appalling when we see obvious possession taking away any possibility of things being "decent and in order" ( 1 Cor. 14:40). Tongues also rarely are interpreted although I have met individuals who claim they have heard it done properly on occasion.

It seems to me that there are prayer languages for personal edification; as well as ones to be interpreted in a church congregational setting. Again; to see the forest through the trees it should always be the GIVER of the gifts not the gifts themselves that is sought when we ask for more of the Holy Spirit. That is a prayer Christ Himself is said to fulfill ( Luke 11:13). The fear of God; and impending doom for the unbeliever fits in with the general ministry of the Spirit found in John 16:8-11 where sin; righteousness and judgment to come pierce men's hearts. There are verses where both a sign for nonbelievers and believers is what tongues is said to be meant for. ( 1 Cor. 14:22; 25). This could be the two types of tongues I mentioned or the purpose of ministry emphasizing one gift over the other; in this case prophecy. I'll let someone else tackle that. Again; there should be a surrendered; victorious; fruit bearing life as evidence of tongues or any other gift. Immature believers in the Corinthian church had gifts; but had to be severely rebuked for Paul to set them straight. The transformation shows that they were saved.

This is a mystery at least while Christ was here in the flesh before the Resurrection ( Matt. 24:36). According to 2 Thess. 2:6 the restrainer is removed; then the man of sin can be revealed; hence all the events of the Tribulation commences at that point. This would signify as I can see the Holy Spirit in the way it manifests during the Church Age; also showing how the Holy Ghost is in some ways dependent in its actions to the Father. The Spirit is said to indicate; as John 16:8-11 sin; righteousness and judgment to come; and seals every believer until the Day of Redemption ( Eph. 4:30).

The offices of the Godhead somehow operate in this manner; despite each member being God. The best way I can see this is that God the Father is not able ever to be in the presence of sin without judgment coming from Him directly. There had to be some separation therefore or when Christ died at the cross the whole universe would have ceased to exist the moment He was estranged for that instant from the Father. It would seem the Holy Spirit; since it came from Christ directly at Pentecost has always been the way the Omnipresent Godhead can be within His chosen vessels. Truly; there was always that presence in Old Testament times; as it will be in some ways in the future Tribulation and beyond but the ministry changes. The results of that can be seen contrasting the promises of Matthew 16:18 and the statements of the saints being overcome in Daniel 7:15 etal.

I am stating all this so that verse about the Son of Man not knowing the Day and hour of His return can be better understood.

Christ learning obedience in a self depreciating manner ( Heb. 5:8) while He took on the form of man with all the limitations so He could be our substitute in life and death in every way; being tempted as we are but without sin ( Heb. 4:15) is also unfathomable in our minds. Nonetheless; Christ alerted to us that He comes a day we don't expect. We should be aware of signs; not overcome by fear

Ronnette The scripture you gave answers the question, the one came to fulfill all the law to Israel under John the Baptist,

in the gospel of john 16:13 Jesus christ was instructing them on the future about the gift of holy spirit which would guide them

to the all truth that was given to the Apostle paul of the church of the body of christ jew and gentile baptized by one spirit.

Scripturally water baptism isnt necessary for salvation in the grace administration of pentecost, that being said water won't

hurt anybody.

The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.

Genesis 1:26, 3:22, 11:7

Isaiah 6:8

Romans 1:20*

Colossians 2:9

Acts 17:27-30

1 John 5:7

John 10:30

"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and GODHEAD so that they are without excuse:"

Genesis 1:1

The Father purposes

The Word (Jesus) speaks. ( John 1:1)

The Spirit (Holy Spirit) executes the spoken word. Action.

All working together. Jesus came to show us the Father, as Emmanuel.

Matthew 1:23

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God WITH US. [Jesus]

{Comment} Jesus came to bring to each born again believer; the baptism and the in-dwelling of the Holy Spirit.

[ Genesis 1:2, John 3:6, Acts 2:1-3, John 16: 7-15]

Upon being born again, Jesus gives the Holy Spirit to teach us scripture, comfort us, convict us of sin, enable us to be witnesses. Stay in the New Testament at first.

Mishael

Please God help Renee with her family foundation that all come to have deeper relationship in You and for You. Please I ask Holy Spirit enrich them with peace and guidance through the Bible that perseverance and prosperity flow on the family I pray in Jesus name!

Please consider reflecting on some of these scriptures: Psalms 91, Psalms 34, James 1:2-4, John 16:33, Proverbs 16:2-3.

Hopefully these are even more helpful, straight from GOD's book,

John 17,

No Martha, the Holy Spirit and the Spirit of Christ are one & self-same Spirit. We understand this because of the Deity of the Spirit (i.e. the Holy Spirit is a vital Person within the Godhead, or Trinity), & by the procession of the Spirit (i.e. the Spirit proceeding from both the Father & the Son, without any change or division in God's Nature).

a. the Spirit's Deity.

Proven by His Names (Equality: 1 Corinthians 6:11; Doing the Work of God: Romans 8:15; John 14:16).

Proven by His Characteristics (All-knowing: 1 Corinthians 2:10,11; Everywhere: Psalm 139:7; All-powerful: Genesis 1:2; Truth: 1 John 5:6; Holiness: Luke 11:13; Life: Romans 8:2; Wisdom: Isaiah 40:13).

Proven by His Works (In creation: Genesis 1:2; Inspiration: 2 Peter 1:21; Begetting Christ: Luke 1:35; Convincing men: John 16:8; Regenerating: John 3:5,6; Comforting: John 14:16; Interceding: Romans 8:26,27; Sanctifying: 2 Thessalonians 2:13).

Proven by His equality with the Father & Son ( Acts 5:3,4; Matthew 28:19; 2 Corinthians 13:14).

b. the Spirit's Procession.

Proceeded from the Father ( John 15:26).

Proceeded from the Son ( Galatians 4:6; Romans 8:9; John 16:7).

So, I hope you can see that the Holy Spirit, whether spoken of God or of Jesus, is the same Spirit, for He is one with the Father & the Son. Then when we come to 1 Corinthians 12:13, "For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit", again the one & same Holy Spirit is seen here, but we now see His special work where His coming into our lives, affects our spirits and baptizes us (brings us into union) with the whole family of God (into one Body, i.e. of Christ).

Hello LaDawna. There are a couple of references where Jesus speaks of Satan as the "prince of the world" ( John 12:31, John 14:30 and John 16:11). And the Apostle Paul speaks of him as "the god of this world" ( 2 Corinthians 4:4).

Honestly, I've had answered prayer in very immediate dangerous situations, just crying "GOD, help me" possibly even just "GOD" it's possibly because GOD knows if we love Jesus. Romans 8:27,

There are several reasons someone asks this question. I'd like to address the core of your question. If you're having situations in your life that seem impossible, please remember GOD can do impossible! He "said" & the entire Galaxy came into existence, Genesis 1, the Bible is full of GOD's miraculous compassion, 2Kings 7, notice there was a horrible time with horrible actions, 4 leperous men, (usually cast out away from other's because of it) they were in a seemingly hopeless situation. Yet GOD had already made provision for all the City.

GOD cares for us even more than He does the sparrow. 1Peter 4:12-14, 1Peter 1:7-13, hope to the end. 1Peter 2:19-25,

Psalms 139, Matthew 10:22, endure to the end. Exodus 20:13 "Thou shalt not kill."

With that said, instead seek The Savior,John3:15-16, Jesus Christ understands Luke 22:40-48, Matthew 26:36-39, Hebrews 4:15

John 17, Jesus overcame so we can endure through by His example, Revelation 3:21, Romans 12:21 to live is good. 1John 4:4, John 16:33, Hebrews 2:17,18,

We all have to live our own lives & will give account. Matthew 25:31-46, Romans 14:12,

I hope, if you've suffered such a tragic, sad loss, that GOD gives you comfort.

I pray in either situation. GOD gives you direction, hope, encouragement, faith & comfort. Stay in HIS Word.

Hopefully this is helpful. Please let us know if you need prayer.
