    I've had the same kind of experience. I lost all my party animal friends; even casual Christians.

    All you have to do is ask Jesus to bring new friends into your circle. Set aside a little budget so you and new friends can go to I-HOP and get Nachos for 6. :D

    Keep your "discernment ears on" in case of Casual/Worldly Christians. Always take your Bible. Don't be shocked if the people in the next booth lean over to hear you all lift up Jesus. Read Malachi 3:16-17 (Click on this link)

    People love the power money and such gives them over others but you can never buy a true love with money and to gain money is stripping the earth of all it and changing the order set for it! The earth is alive just as we are it heals itself, cleanse itself, plants itself, it was meant to be be helpful to give us life meant to be a garden that we could all simply walk and eat no need for even shelter as before the flood there was not even rain or storms! People have tried to change the order so destroying all as prodigal children! All for the power they can gain over others so destroying even themselves and their children! When you are all harmed or suffer you all cry for the order but then otherwise deny it so you all remain as stuck in a bottomless! Symbolic for making the same mistakes over and over the only way out of the pit is wisdom to the order set for all creation by the father of all creation!

    Like faith is simply a name put to something more than just belief it is only the beginning and made whole when you know! Do not stay in belief as the sheep know it and teach it become the shepherd pastor the people!

    You can know though the right judgement of all things to the order set for all creation by the father of all creation! Also known as the order of the father!
  • JLeigh - In Reply on Malachi 3:10 - 4 years ago
    Prayer is simply a name put to something more than as a tool for teaching and learning like talking or thinking to yourself or out loud when you talk to self or others you are also talking to God you just name it as the spirit of God's wisdom that is coming from your mouth and your head
  • Teboho - In Reply on Malachi 3:10 - 4 years ago
    Thank Adam for that, it makes sense.
  • Adam - In Reply on Malachi 3:10 - 4 years ago
    Hi Teboho,

    I believe praying should be genuine and come from the heart. I think it should not be selfish or materialistic. I think ones motives should be pure in the prayer request, because we are not supposed to follow the world or its riches, but follow Jesus and seek our treasures in heaven, not on Earth. Matthew 6:19-20. God says we can ask for anything through faith- it should be through love too. 1 Corinthians 13:2, Matthew 21:21-22.

    Given that info, I think it's ok to privately pray to be able to pay your debts and bills and for job increases and to tithe to help others. I would be careful praying for material possessions, however, because where is the heart? What is the motive? Is the goal to built treasures on Earth or in heaven?

    Hope that perspective is helpful. God bless you!

    someone asked for Luke 21:12 be explained;I think that verse 12 is a carry over from verse 11 where Jesus was describing events immediately preceding the end of the age.Verse 12 begins with,But before all these things.....I believe that verses 12 to 24 describes the period between the time of the discourse and future Tribulation Period.His Disciples would be arrested,persecuted,tried before religious and civil powers,and imprisoned.

    ,It could have felt like failure and tragedy to the Disciples,but GOD overruled it to make it a testimony for His glory.They did not have to prepare their defense in advance.In their hour of crisis they were not to worry about what to say,because GOD said:settle it in your minds not to meditate before hand how to answer,for I give you a mouth and wisdom, which none of your adversaries will be able to withstand or contradict.I believe that when that day if it ever appears in our Christian lives,we will stand fast in our faith and never deny,our belief in GOD,because He will give us what we will say.But as far as the rapture,verse 12 is not speaking of this.Read verses 6 thru 11 you will understand what verse 12 is saying.
  • Mishael on a Happier Home - In Reply on Proverbs 1:1 - 4 years ago
    Born again is as rebirth. It means both again. I prefer how Jesus explains it.

    In John 3, Jesus is telling Nicodemus how to be born again, spiritually. When he speaks about the wind, He is describing the Holy Spirit.

    We can pray for the Holy Spirit to visit our loved ones, convict them of sin and woo them to salvation. Pray and ask; then thank God for the answer. Having done all: to stand in FAITH.... not doubt. You gotta beat the devils off of family so they can respond to offered salvation.

    An angel tells Daniel, that Michael the Archangel had to fight against a demon prince to help this messenger get to Daniel.

    Daniel chapter 10:10-21.

    What you pray for, give thanks daily. Keep loved ones covered in prayers forbidding demonic influence.

    And nope, we don't get to order Michael around. We can ask God to give us angelic assistance. You already have a ministering angel.

    Here is a tip: when someone speaks forth the scriptures in the home; sings praises to God or talks what Jesus did today... angels hear it and record It in the Book of Remembrance . Malachi 3:16

    It's inspiring!

    "Then they that feared (respect & honor) the Lord spoke often one to another, and the Lord HEARKENED, and HEARD it, and a book of Remembrance was written BEFORE HIM, for them that feared the Lord, and thought upon His Name!

    So see, we can change the whole atmosphere in our homes! No swearing, no yelling insults and retorts; no gossip about others. Converse reverently about Jesus and you will have angels over at your place every day! How hard is that?

    If they hear you thanking the Lord for healing... the oil of joy for the spirit of heaviness, salvation of loved ones etc...

    Your prayer and worship songs are being fast tracked right up front of Gods throne!!!

    Because Jesus sits at the right hand of God Almighty God of all there is! Jesus hears.

    Turn off Metallica and turn on Dion's Kingdom in the Streets cd. What's better than a happier home?

  • Chris - In Reply on Malachi 3 - 4 years ago
    Bradley, Malachi, as you suggest, speaks of Israel's sins & coming judgement (vv 1-7). Then the question is asked in the latter part of v 7: "But ye said, Wherein shall we return?" That is, the people ask, "How (or, in what manner) shall we return?", "How have we robbed You?" In tithes & offerings.

    They were clearly robbing God by living careless, wicked lives, & in so doing this had a cumulative effect by not paying the right wages, lack of support to the widows & orphans & showing no care to the visitor. So the issue of robbery, God declares, is that you people have added to your wicked deeds, by even robbing me by not doing what has been commanded, viz in tithes & offerings. And verse 10 clarifies this even further to their giving, despite any hardship in doing so, as they would experience God's abundant blessings as a result.

    You state that this passage actually speaks about giving God praise, acknowledging His Glory & Mercy. And this would be the expected response if the people turned away from doing wickedly, but to read this chapter in its context, one can't help but observe that they were not able to give the sacrifice of praise to God, simply because of their many sins, of which their robbery to God was evident. What I would question of the present day interpretation of this passage is the necessity of the giving of tithes, which is an Old Testament mandate, but I could not see in the passage what you are seeing there. You could give your further explanation on your view, if you care to.
  • Bradley Mason on Malachi 3 - 4 years ago
    Clearly this chapter is often misinterpreted. He is not upset that they were not bringing their tithes of money, He was upset that they were not giving him his PRAISE. Clearl;y its stated that they have turned away from God, this was not about money, it was about acknowledgement of the Glory and Mercy of God. Yet, we continue to preach it all wrong.

    Larry B Jesus was, is and always shall be God, who came in the flesh to redeem mankind from sin and death.

    1 Timothy 3:16

    "And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory." King James Version (KJV)

    God never changes. Malachi 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.

    Jesus never changes. Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

    God is the only Saviour. "I, even I, am the LORD; and beside me there is no saviour." Isaiah 43:11

    To the only wise God our Saviour... Jude 1:12

    God our Saviour. Titus 2:10

    ...we trust in the living God, who is the Saviour. I Timothy 4:10

    God my Saviour. Luke 1:47

    Jesus is the only Saviour. ...the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 1 John 4:14

    ...our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. II Peter 3:18

    ...God and our Saviour Jesus Christ. II Peter 1:1

    ...the Christ, the Saviour of the world. John 4:42

    ...the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. Titus 1:4

    a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11

    Neither is there salvation in any other (than Jesus): for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

    ...salvation... is in Christ Jesus with eternal glory.

    imo we need this lake of fire its simply a lake of Sprits as our God is a consuming fire but God is also spirit.The writter describes it as a cleasing soap thats God as Jesus said your are made CLEAN by the word ( the living word which is God ) We know that the living word is God its not a literal fire had it been a literal fire Jesus wd have rebuked james and john when they wanted to call fire down from heaven and destroy the samaritans its simply a H.G. FIRE WHICH IS SPIRIT AS THE H.G. IS SPIRIT BUT IT'S ALSO A JUDGEMENTAL FIRE.Whom the lord loveth he chastises aka as judgement. This H.G. fire is gonna judge us simply b/c he is the living WORD Jesus says the words that i have spoken shall judge you in that last day ya remember the h.g fell on them that heard his Words his breath etc. no matter how ya slice it.The manchild is gonna rule all the world for only 1 purpose to destroy Gods enemy which is our carnal minds in rank with satan thus his baptism of fire and the H.G. We cannot enter his kingdom with all our lust and our sinful nature. We lust after everything we go a whoring etc We need that lake of fire (BAPTISM of the H.G. ) as malachi is saying. Thats y jesus said i come to bring fire ( h.g fire ) on the earth meaning our hearts and minds in exchange we get a new heart and a new spirit.gbu
  • Travis - In Reply on Ephesians 3 - 4 years ago
    Rod,

    Tithing was more strict under Jewish ceremonial law but it started before the law with Abram and Melchizedek. Tithing is very much for today, Chris is right. However, its dependent on our trust in God. Besides the promise of Malachi 3:10, we read in gospels how even though Jesus rebuked the Pharisees for leaving out judgment and mercy, he commended them for the tithe. But that is a secondary issue and not to take precedent above the former. Besides in Hebrews 7:8 the Bible says "And here men that die receive tithes; but there he receiveth them, of whom it is witnessed that he liveth"

    In other words Jesus still receives our tithes in Heaven as a pattern of how it worked under the law. Giving of our tithe or our firstfruits of our increase shows God our faith in Him that he will provide for us, plus giving of our tithes also shows that we are faithful in the "least of things", bible says money is the least of things and that if we can trust Him in that arena he can entrust us more

    I say nothing because I believe God will see to me getting everything I need. And also should we charge the church for everything we do? I understand some thing have to be paid for ex. paper, ink, etc. But my labor is free. Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, Malachi 3:10

    Re the Sabbath discussion.In the 4th Commandment,God gives us His Seal Authority. Name-The Lord Your God Position-Creator Territory-Heaven and Earth.Without C4 and a 6 day creation, the day of rest, the Sabbath,has no meaning, the commandments no authority.The Bible has never changed the 6 day Sabbath-"I am the Lord, I change not"- Malachi 3:6. Coloss 2:16 refers to ceremonial sabbaths.
  • Gary Wayne Smith on Malachi 3 - 5 years ago
    Doth not Malachi portray what will happen to any house that forsakes Keeping the Commandments Exodus 20 and Walking in the Statutes Leviticus 20 . Did not the chosen ZION perform idolatry Which breaks the first four commandments and is also unto covetness. Nay means Nay to spiritual death...albeit dead is spiritual death...dead bury the dead means none wilt naught affiliate with the dead.

  • Lucy on Malachi 3 - 6 years ago
    I understand now why a lot of people are poor, including myself, when God bless us because we are doing his will, the spirit comes that we are doing it, and not the spirit of God. Regardless of how we feel about the churches we need to pay our tithes and let God be the judge between you and them. Read Proverbs 10, and keep believing.
  • Alex on Malachi 3 - 6 years ago
    What a beautiful chapter this is The messenger of the covenant is the H.G. his spritual fire and judgement we need. ANSWERS TO I WILL BAPTISE YOU WITH THE H.G. AND FIRE AS OUR GOD IS A CONSUMING FIRE THAT IS GONNA CONSUME OUR EVIL ADAMIC NATURE HE IS GONNA BE AS A REFINERS FIRE AND FULLERS SOAP THAT WE MIGHT PRAISE HIM IN SPIRIT N TRUTH OUTTA OF THE MOUTHS OF BABES AND SUCKLINGS perfected PRAISE.
  • Jackie Tettleton on Romans 1 - 6 years ago
    The people knew God was the Creator but they would not acknowledge Him as such. They relegated Him to a list of pagan gods. When they did this they chose to walk away from Him. He had to let them go because He will not force anyone to worship Him. He also knew what was in their hearts and so He had to turn them over to the lusts of their hearts. God is God. Malachi 3:6 I am the Lord, I change not.
