Question: Does God say that he would take away our pain?

It means that each day, we have enough to handle without taking on the problems of tomorrow or some other day. Therefore, we should live in the day we are in, because we cannot live in tomorrow until it gets here.

I like this proverb, it seems to apply to all parts of life: Proverbs 11:1

A false balance is an abomination to the LORD: but a just weight is his delight.

I like the discussion!

While we are called to be followers of Christ, We will find that the world does not except this value of faith toward God.Is it possible to have joy and happiness and be a christian in the strictest sense?I believe that God wants all people to experience the joy found in life and the love we share with one another.It has been my experience that when we live outside the faith, time of temptation and sorrow manifest itself, and will dominate and move us further away from His love!Are we looking somewhere else for happiness or do we worry about things we have no control over!When we examine Christs life, we will see a love that passes understanding!His love for his Father, and the joy he experienced when He did the will of His Father, even the power to heal Gods children!We to can experience this same love when we worship the savior!I personally would find no greater joy than to heal someone or give someone hope.Mans nature is contrary to God, and is evil from the beginning. This is why we need to abide in Christ, being led by His Holy Spirit. For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD, and he pondereth all his goings.

Supported.

Brenda,

Matthew 6:34 says to take no thought about tomorrow. There is a word used throughout the New Testament that has to do with our minds being distracted. It is the word MERIMNAO, and it has to do with the occupation of the attention of our minds. It can be anything, our jobs, our family, hobbies, or anything in our daily lives that keep our minds occupied and away from the things of the Lord.

Jesus says don't even worry about it. Don't worry about tomorrow. Let tomorrow take care of itself. Where is our focus right now? And then He says "Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof."

What this is basically telling us is that we have enough to be concerned with today, the normal ordinary stresses of life. We're not to be concerned about tomorrow. Only the Lord knows what will come tomorrow, so why should we be worried about it. Besides, worrying about tomorrow does us no good at all. We are to place our complete trust in Christ, and trust that He will work out those future things that we are incapable of knowing. So, sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof simple means to just focus on the hardships of the present day and trust that Christ will not only work those things out but also the things of tomorrow.

What does it mean sufficient unto the day is the evil there of?

Matthew 6:20

But LAY UP for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:

2 Corinthians 12:14

Behold, the third time I am ready to come to you; and I will not be burdensome to you: for I seek not yours, but you: for the children ought not to LAY UP for the parents, but the parents for the children.

Comment:

I think this is clearly showing us that material possessions and financial is not really going to bless your kids.

It's the spiritual blessings we impart to them, from early childhood to adulthood that make for an eternal impartation.

I read short Psalms or Proverbs to my 7yr old grandson now; and I did it when he was much younger too. He received Jesus as his Savior over a year ago. I will never stop praying for him or his parents. That's the gold and silver that you leave for your kids.

Once they connect to peers and the world, they need our prayers more than ever. All through The Moses and Joshua years, it's commanded that they teach the history and the blessings To the children. Parents :) teaching their kids. They are your treasure.

Mishael

God will give you peace that passes human understanding. Ask for it.

Matthew 6:25

Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?

1 Corinthians 13:11

When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a (woman)man, I put away childish things.

Malachi 3:16 Let God hear you speak Faith.

Then they that feared the LORD spake 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 that thought upon his name.

*******

You need to turn from the dark thoughts and get some Faith in God inside of you.

A testimony of mine: I worked in a huge office of mostly women and women bosses.

I was sitting in my car at lunch, depressed, reading my Bible. I saw this verse that Jesus said: bless those that curse you. Went back into work. The boss was gossiping with other bosses.

I thought, I'm just going to give this scripture a try. I start blessing the bosses, in Jesus name and asked Him to promote them into better positions. Couple of weeks go by and they announce the big boss was taking a promotion in another building! Yay

Also, that a boss from outside was taking her place. We wait patiently. We got a new boss that was Much fairer and made our work lives fairer and revised work loads evenly. I was thanking God at lunch every day after.

If you'll bless and not curse; what you pray in honest faith will be done. It makes your faith get big. So if Satan thumps you, just activate your faith on a scripture that describes your situation. Let faith keep your hope solid while you're waiting.

Don't give the demons a legal right to make you despair. Give Praise to God all the while. Let Trust become a tree that gives you shade at lunch.

These suggestions a nice, but may I suggest a different one?

Matthew 6:5-15

"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.

But when ye pray, use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: for they think that they shall be heard for their much speaking. Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask him.

After this manner therefore pray ye:

Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.

Recognize the majesty and authority of God . . .

Rely upon God for your day to day needs.

A part of conversion is a gift from the Holy Ghost, this should be a change in attitude that allows you to say, "I once was, but now I am"

Express your needs and desires. These may be areas that require attention

Thank him for the Teachings of Jesus.

I found it necessary to explain my use of the King James Version:

The language used is modern enough to be easily understood but old enough to remind me of the Majesty of God. We must focus on those things that are important.

I loss my only son Ellis who was my best friend. I don't like to use the word murdered but that's exactly what happened to him by a gun shot wound to his chest. I never thought that I would join a group of mothers who have lost their children to gun violence. As Job said the one thing I feared the most has come upon me. Last night I was led to pray according to Matthew 6:6, and he rewarded me with Isaiah 61 where he promised to heal my broken heart. Oh how I love Jesus because he first loves me. This is one of many of his promises that he has led me to read only to be reminded of how much Jesus loves me and that Ellis has eternal life.

Matthew 6:19-34 kjv

Greetings,

To me "They have their reward" means they'll have their moment of "vain glory."

Only to Fade Away Quickly and has no Benefits Whatsoever.

In All Things, May We Strive to Do for Solely for Gods Glory & His Purposes.

Then shall we Reap His Blessings beyond & above all we can imagine.

In Jesus Mighty Name

Amen

Ken well said. I might add the Pharisee Jews also were condemned of Jesus for their hypocrisy.

Luke 12:1 In the mean time, when there were gathered together an innumerable multitude of people, insomuch that they trode one upon another, he began to say unto his disciples first of all, Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy. Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.

Matthew Chapter 16:11 How is it that ye do not understand that I spake [it] not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees?

12 Then understood they how that he bade [them] not beware of the LEAVEN leaven of bread, but of the DOCTRINE doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.

Matthew 6:2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the HYPOCRITES hypocrites do in the SYNAGOGUES synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Matthew 23:14 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye devour widows' houses, and for a pretence make long prayer: therefore ye shall receive the greater damnation.

Matthew 23:15 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves. ...ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves.

The Pharisee Jews would talk the talk and not walk the walk.

Matthew 23:4 For they (Pharisees) bind heavy burdens and grievous to be borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they themselves will not move them with one of their fingers.

Matthew 6:12|View whole chapter|See verse in context

And forgive us our debts, as we forgive ourdebtors.

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!

Nina: my brother-in-law, an associate Pastor, was so ANGRY at me doing astrology charts on his kids (my sister wouldn't let him kill me); He stood up in his church and asked everyone (over 100 people) to pray and fast for me ONE day.

My life was taken apart, like a peeled onion. Layer, by layer; till I had NOTHING to rely on. All gone. My job moved to another state and I didn't. I was in terror of the future. God drops in and the rest is

His-Story about me. It was years before my sister confessed.

Point is: prayer and fasting works! Going to your church and asking the congregation to pray and fast (food, media, phones) will work. If you're family agrees, then do that. God sees your heart. Ask and then receive it! Stand on it every day.

Collect all the healing scriptures you can find; or google healing verses. Write them down; highlight them in your Bible.

Then speak out: IT IS WRITTEN: and out loud...say the scriptures. Better yet, get the children to say them with you.

Demons of infirmity (sickness) will leave you , the family and the house! Keep doing it because I know it works. Angels listen and record your spoken prayers in the Book Of Remembrance. Remember praise: hallelujahs, Praise the Lord my God, so be it, amen!

Lastly, tithe happily (give the children a dollar to put in), just what you can.

2 Corinthians 9:7

Giving money establishes Trust.

After Lastly, let your family all understand that your family is sheltering till July 4th. If they come over anyway; have a box of face masks by the front door. I have a big family too; be strong; no kissing. I babysit when the parents work (for free! Lol) so I have to be super outspoken to family sometimes. :D

Psalm 27

Matthew 6:25-30

Victor, what this means is that a person cannot server both God and mammon. It is not wrong to make money but when you wan to serve money, and it becomes your master then you cannot serve God also.

so they have their reward from men, not Father in heaven.

in another words, Matthew 6:22 "No man can serve two masters", if we have reward from human, there will be no reward from Father?

Victor,

Jesus says in Matthew 6:2, Verily I say unto you, "They have their reward." Matthew 6:1-4 talks about doing righteousness before men to be seen of men. Jesus said in Verse 1, "Take heed," which literally means pay attention. Pay attention that you do not your alms, and the Greek word for alms is acts of mercy. And then it says "before men." You see, it is external to be seen of them. It goes on to say "Otherwise you have no reward of your Father which is in heaven."

So Jesus says to pay attention and don't do your righteousness so that people can see you. It is not for external show! This is for your God who lives inside of you. He is inside, and you don't need to show anybody out here if you are worshiping the Lord or you are doing something under the inspiration of His Spirit. You don't need to have people see you, because it is for Him, and it is from Him. He says if you do, there is no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

When we are led by God's Spirit to do something good, we should not seek for recognition from men. If we do, and we are rewarded here on this earth, we will not receive a reward for it later. This does not mean that if someone thanks you for doing something good for them that you will lose your reward later. It's the motive behind it. Did you do something good to be seen of men and seek for recognition from men? If that is your motive, Jesus says your Father in heaven will not reward you later.

Greetings Victor, there are two types of rewards. one for the righteous and another for the unrighteous.

2 Peter 2:13 And shall receive the REWARD reward of unrighteousness, as they that count it pleasure to riot in the day time. Spots they are and blemishes, sporting themselves with their own deceivings while they feast with you;

Writing of Judas Acts 1:18 Now this man purchased a field with the reward of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst asunder in the midst, and all his bowels gushed out. (his pieces of silver for betraying Christ)

2 Timothy 4:14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works:

This is not a good reward.

Then there are the rewards for the just in faith.

Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Revelation 11:18 And the nations were angry, and thy wrath is come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that thou shouldest give reward unto thy servants the prophets, and to the saints, and them that fear thy name, small and great; and shouldest destroy them which destroy the earth.

Jesus speaks in Revelation 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

what does it mean: "They have their reward."

it repeats three times.

thank you for your reply and your answer is correct, but it took me a little less time to remember and read it again. I am getting old so it take longer to remember. But thank you very much for being so kind as to help me. I like your question and answer so I might do this again if it is alright with you. GOD Bless and keep you (LOOK UP) HE could come today.

I would say that Paul pretty much sums it all up in 1 Corinthians Chapter 15 Verses 3 and 4.

John 3:16 might be what you have in mind.

Mark 12:30-31 - Are the greatest 2 commandments in case you mean that.

what passage gives the complete gospel in two verses

I 17 (11-7)

Par quarante ans l'iris n'apparoistra.

Par quarante ans tous les iours fera veu La terre aride en siccite croistra

Et grands deluges quand sera apperceu.

For forty years the rainbow will not be seen. (1958-1998) For forty years it will be seen every day. The dry earth will grow more parched, and there will be great floods when it is seen.
