Discuss Philippians 4 Page 9

God said in his word ask and it shall be given you knock and the door shall be open seek and you shall find. If a evil man know how to give good gifts to his son well when you ask the Lord Jesus for something he will give it to you all you have to do is to obey the Lord and live by his word and anything you asked of him he will bless you with

Does God Change His Mind?

"God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?" Num 23:19

This was uttered by a pagan prophet who was prevented by God from pronouncing curses against Israel. It is truth.

Exodus 32 & 33 tell a compelling account of Israel rebelling against God and God expressing His anger in order to get across to us the level of anger and disappointment He had with them.

In 32:7-24 He says that He wants to destroy them and replace them with Moses and his descendants. But Moses intercedes for Israel and reminds God of His promises to Abraham Isaac and Jacob (AIJ). And finally, "And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people." Exo 32:14

God knew and planned all along that He would not utterly destroy them but fulfill His promises to AIJ.

Chapter 33 begins with God repeating His promise to AIJ. But He also said, "And I will send AN angel before thee;" Exo 33:2 not His own presence. In Exo 33:12-16 Moses intercedes for Israel and this gem, from the lips of The Lord is right in the middle.

"And He said, My Presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest." Exo 33:14

God gives us these instances where He appears to want to vent His wrath on sinners but then changes His mind, withholds justice and bestows unmerited grace. And as you read and study you will see that this is what God intended to do from the very beginning.

Although this promise was for Israel, wandering in the wilderness, Jesus is still the same.

"Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for He hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me...Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever." Heb 13:5-6,8

When we pray and ask God in Jesus' name, are we to do anything?

"Offending God with your thoughts" is quite possibly not sin, unless you dwell on them, leading to committing sin whether in the mind or body. We all have spurious thoughts come to us, & sometimes downright disturbing. It's how we deal with them that matters: do we determine to terminate those thoughts or choose to fuel them or even act upon them?

We can run to the Lord in prayer & commit our folly to Him; or turn to the Word & allow the Spirit to minister God's Message & Words of healing to our minds; or even do as the Apostle Paul suggests in Philippians 4:8,9, to set our minds (our thoughts) on things that are honest, just, pure, etc. Why do this? We are effectively covering over & ridding nasty, disturbing thoughts with thoughts that bring on peace, stability & purity to one's heart - i.e. getting our minds back onto God's track & dwelling on things that will lift up our hearts towards God rather than weigh them down to our hurt.

Please pray for me I am having breathing problems I just want to be normal and do every day things. Please also pray for my father he is addicted to valium please pray that he will find a herbal anxiety medication that's not bad for him.

Prayers for Justin and Brittany and their 3 daughters, that they know God is walking with them

thank you for your prayers

Please pray for my family and I. Please pray that my mother and brother come unto Christ and be born again and accept him as their savior. Please pray that I have the strength to help them on this journey, and that they have the strength to take it. I want them to go to heaven and accept God's gifts. Please pray.

Alec, neither of those Scriptures you've given apply to your situation. Hebrews 10:2, speaks about the Jews who had to yearly offer sacrifices to obey God's Commands & to avert His Anger upon them. The sacrifices could never remove sin or their guilty consciences & that is why they had to be offered each year. Philippians 4:7, is an encouragement for those given to worry & anxiousness. Paul suggests that they commit their problems to the Lord in prayer with praise to the One Who will deal with their matters.

You've indicated that you're feeling guilty over past sins. And for some reason, unlike the first time, you now can't rid yourself of this dilemma you're in. Usually, in such situations, folk have truly called upon the Lord for salvation or restoration, but haven't let go of their sins, their past life, or the pain they have inflicted upon others. When we come to the Lord for spiritual healing, we do so entirely based on faith in His Word, in His Power to be able to do this, & Promise that it will be "thy faith hath made thee whole". If we're dwelling on past sins, & lets face it, the memory will always be there but should not burden us anymore or bring on guilt, then we really haven't put those sins upon Jesus to bear them & forgive us - rather, inwardly we believe that Jesus has failed to hear our cry, we are not forgiven & we have to continue to live with the mental & spiritual uncertainty & torment.

Take stock of what took place when you came to the Lord. Did you earnestly seek His forgiveness for your many sins? Did you sense in your heart that He had done so according to His Word ( John 3:14-18)? That He will no longer resurrect those forgiven sins & accuse you of them ( Hebrews 10:14-17). Why should we then allow those past sins come back to haunt us? Leave it at the Cross - tell Satan who is taunting you with this, that you're a child of God, covered in Christ's Blood ( James 4:7), that you ARE forgiven. Spend much time in God's Word & pray for healing.

Thank you Glo for your message I Felt so alone until I read about your anxiety and thank you for praying for me and my dad. I will keep you in my prayers :)

Thank you Gennie I really Appreciate it I will keep you in my prayers :)

Our Father God who are in heaven I praise God for forgiveness this day Lord I pray for this person that's going through right now in the mighty name of Jesus Gabe, that she be healed delivered and set free from anxiety father God right now in heaven I pray in Jesus name older guys set a free right now God heal her mind her body her soul father God heal her father made every request that is righteous in Jesus name make her whole right now God make her family whole her father God that he might see in Jesus name we pray amen

Oops! Wasn't quite done! I forgot that Almighty God gave me Blessings of being able to Love so deeply and a person to share that Love with!

I forgot of myself, I am Nothing!

Only God can help me by my prayers & putting the things that give me anxieties into the CARE of my Loving Father - I was anxious because I separated myself from God!

I took back my Will!

I was in such a panic, was so vulnerable, that the dark crept in with it's doubts, tunnel vision that made my heart race & took away my oxygen!

I didn't let go...so I got dragged, shut off from the "Sunshine of the Spirit"!

Uncalm times are the ONLY times when evil can find an entrance; I am more afraid of Spirit unrest, Soul Disturbances ANY Ruffling of my mind, than of any earthquakes or fire!

Of course I wanted to die, than have my Unguarded Soul remain in The Darkness!

So I took a deep breath & prayed to God to forgive my sinful thought, that He was my refuge & my fortress! I want to live to Serve you, Lord, I just want my life as it is NOW to end!

That was my truth, Gabe!

How selfish to want to die before we have done our Utmost Good to serve God, Mankind, the Earth.

Even the smallest change for the Good as We Love & Serve one another creates ripples of Positive God energy all around, Lights up Souls & The Darkness cannot survive the Light & The Word!

Ask Christ to guide you along a new path for He is with you ALL THE TIME!

The Holy Spirit entered my body & I live & will have Eternal life, as will you; CHOOSE LIFE!

Every moment may not be filled with Joy, but they will only be MOMENTS - and you'll forget what even bothered you because you will seek The Light & The Word. Lose your self-centered fear by Serving other Children of God to seek Forgiveness, Love & Service & LIVE in Peace surrounded by light helping a Soul out of The Darkness, to be Saved; just like I just did as a "Channel of His Peace"!

Your Sister in Christ,

Glo

Dear Gabe,

I will pray for your father & for you; to keep strong in Faith!

I, too suffer on occasion from anxieties. They are so bad at time I felt I WAS dying!

I started to ask myself what is bothering me?

What things, one by one is disturbing me so much that I want to die?

One thing at a time I said it out loud & after each I prayed & I KNEW it was going to be OK; God had Blessed me by opening my heart to love another so much, that when they were ill, I feared losing that love!

I FORGOT that the Lov

I loved reading your prayers with my prayer circle and I am praying for you. What state are you in, if you don't mind my asking?

Please pray for my dad he's going blind pray that he's surgery will help him to see longer and please pray that I will stop having anxiety attacks and bad anxiety I've really had enough nothing is helping me I just want to not exist.

Pray for Josephine in Kuwait, having a problem with shifting of house as the owner of the building is demanding 30 days notice and I have given 20 days notice.

Please pray for my family members, relatives and all people salvation, protection and my father's healing from parkinsons disease suffering more than 20 years.

Please pray that the LORD GOD will give me wisdom in the matter of where to go to live. He knows the souls of ALL men, but I am blind. I just want to be free of Satan's children in my next living environment, that I be ALLOWED to THRIVE and be ALLOWED to make choices and be ALLOWED to be a "workman..." "worthy of his meat," and that I be allowed to do the work not just of earning my bread but that I be allowed to do the work needed to make me strong and comely in GOD's Son's Spirit, manner, and way.

My life is vanity in Satan's children's households, and has been for far too long.

But GOD KNOWS where there is a GOODLY place that I may afford to go! He KNOWS where He would hire me next, and the perfect location--that getting to and from that job or those jobs will not be a problem!

Please lastly pray for all of our brothers and sisters in Christ's Father's kingdom (our heavenly Father-- Matthew 7:11-->GOD is our Father!) and for all who aren't yet in the family, but who are abused and poor (in spirit or/and in necessities) and discouraged. Please pray for anyone who may be thinking of comitting suicide. It MAY BE that the LORD GOD will hear our united prayers for these strangers, and that He will send the Holy Ghost to them and save them from that grave, and Hell-bound fate (murdering oneself, cannot repent after you've comitted that sin, neither ask GOD to forgive you, you see?)

I'm praying for you all and the brethren whose prayers haven't been listed on this page as well!

Thank you brothers and sisters, I love you and GOD still answers prayer! AMEN!

Please pray that GOD will encourage me and lift my spirit. I have been abused by those who have Satan's mindset in them for so long, even today I couldn't bare to look outside at the bright sunshine. I had to close the curtains back. I LOVE the sunshine, and we haven't had it in so long with the rain, clouds, and dreary skies. Typically ANY light from the LORD's sky gives me a boost in the room that I live in, but today, I just closed the curtains back and cried.

GOD has hope available to me, and He seems to have tried to keep my spirit from crying at times, so that I'd keep trying to get out of this bad situation. And HE DID help me in that for a LONG time! The crying was temporary--for a few minutes and even that only, came after our LORD and Father (GOD) had His Holy Spirit or/and heavenly angel(s) tell my soul not to go there (start crying) but to instead, keep going.

Typing this actually made me feel better.

Thank you to all who have prayed for me before (not that anyone knows who I am, but I KNOW that I think it was last year maybe, that I KNEW SOMEONE on this site or elsewhere had prayed for me--there was a CHANGE!!!! I can't say that I recall ever having experiened that before--but someone had prayed FOR ME. I could only pray to GOD to bless whomever that was. I hope that that helped them, because they helped me!

PLEASE be encouraged, and remember, that your Father is GOD! Your family--the men who are your fathers and brothers that GOD created--they consist of at least TWO kings (King David and King Solomon are two of our earthly fathers--you can see our family lineage in Matthew 1:1-21). We are descendants of Abraham (we are the promise GOD made unto him: "...I will multiply thy seed as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea shore...."), his son Issac, and Jacob, who later became Israel after a blessed wrestling match ( Genesis 32:27-28)!

GOD witnesses ALL done2&4us! Thank u all who pray, and thank u 2 this site

For my relationship with Jesus Christ of Nazareth to be fully restored and that I do His Will and His Will only. Amen
