There much truth in what you counsel, my thoughts were in the work of regeneration unto perfection, I would say yes to the thief situation, but to the jailer situation, he would have to work out his salvation, now that he 'first believed" Lydia was already a godly person, mayber just needed to hear more perfectly the gospel. I notice in my own journey, that the brighter the path becomes, the more light I received in understanding the darkness of our old Adamic nature. the little foxes spoil the vine. Song of Solomon 2:15
I'm trying to be a light to a person who is suicidal and often voices these ideal actions. Please pray for deliverance and salvation for this person. This is bondage, Jesus break it! Fight for her! Help me to win her family to You.
Pray for me too. I might be the only thing standing between this person and Hell.
I have been meaning to ask prayer for Turkey. I only saw brief news clips on YouTube. I haven't had time to research.
Please please pray for me, my children, and grandchildren. The devils not playing. The church needs to WAKE UP!!!
THE LORD JESUS IS COMING SOON!!!
The earth is in labor and the pangs can't get much closer together than they are right now! WAKE UP CHRISTIAN! Judgement will begin IN THE HOUSE OF GOD!
1Peter 4:17
Catch us the little foxes that spoil the vine, Lord. Help us to examine ourselves and work with what little time we have left.
Song of Solomon 2:5
God, save the lost!!!! Please send out laborers into the fields for the harvest is ready but the laborers are so few!
Matthew 9:35-38
Lord please use me. Use US.
This is an altar call!
REPENT! For the kingdom of Heaven is AT HAND!
Jesus help ME/US to weep and wail between the porch and the altar.
Psalms 126:5
IN JESUS NAME. ALWAYS. AMEN.
I don't have time to respond to prayers right now, but I'm praying for all who post their requests here.
If you have a globe please place it where you pray. In your secret place. Put your Hands on it and plead the blood of Jesus Christ over certain areas. Over America for sure. Ask God, in Jesus name, to bind up powers and principalities over America, China, Russia, etc. Pray for mercy and salvation and for the gospel to go freely into the earth. Or whatever prayer God lays on your heart.
Concerning the enemy;
Though the weapon be formed, let it not prosper, let it be bound and broken.
Send Holy Angels to war for souls that are bound to be SET FREE today and for the gospel to flood the Earth!
Hello Natasha. The verse is from Song of Solomon 2:2, "As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters." This is, I believe, Solomon's bride speaking, as the following verses suggest (others, refer it to it as Solomon's words).
So, the Shulamite bride, in this verse, sees herself as a lily peering through the surrounding thorny bushes, and she compares that to the intense love she has for Solomon, far exceeding the love from the maidens. Now why this verse was inscribed onto a headstone, I cannot be sure. The only thought that comes to mind, is the wife's/husband's (or, family's) strong sentiments of endless love for their dear departed. The other option would be, that the character of the departed one was truly extraordinary & exemplary, far above others they have known. But I would prefer the first option.
And as a side-note: many of the passages in the Songs, give us a picture of Christ Jesus & His Love for His Church.
My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.
Song of Solomon 6:3
I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine: he feedeth among the lilies.
Song of Solomon 7:10
I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.
Mishael comment: I could not make bad relationships work, until I met Jesus; who is our Beloved. He loves you.
One day I was having a serious emotional storm. I opened the Bible and it landed in Song of Solomon. For me, just hearing 3 times, that Jesus was MINE.
I belonged to Someone who would never leave me. It was like an echo in my soul. He's Mine and I am HIS! He's not going to ever leave me. No matter what people do to hurt me, I have my Beloved to wrap me in acceptance and never ending love. It's been 36 years, and he has never yelled at me or hurt me; abandoned me.
Only Jesus can love you like that.
We sneak away from him maybe, but He never rejects us. He is God. He is Faithful.
I don't know your age. I'm 70. Find a practicing Christian. He may be in a church near you. Trust the Lord to find you a man.
Ask him. Allow the Lord to heal your torn heart first. Ask him to.
Let go of the past. It's not easy but you can do it.
Up above on this page is a box: Become a Believer. It's helpful to get back on the right track. Loneliness makes us long for what worked once; but we can't fix it. If he's not born again( John 3), open your hand and let it go.
In Jewish culture the couple are betrothed for a year. (Engaged). The grooms father, builds a room into the family home for the couple, after the marriage. They do not sleep together, period. We need that commitment during the betrothal.
I guess I'm saying, it always works better when we follow God and not our instincts or impatience.
I am C. Nettles who just recently posted concerning Song Of Solomon chapters 1 and 2. In my excitement, my post was full of grammatical mistakes; please excuse. I felt the need to post and send it immediately without a re-read; sorry.
And I thought my heart-felt thinking on Christ was glorious and pure and good and lovely, but now I understand that nothing I could have thought meets the loveliness of these verses. It takes me to a completely new place, a new birth, a new love and binds me at the feet of the Almighty where I land... only to look up and see all that He is and much, much more. His eyes and His Spirit, His softness and His desires, so full of love and compassion, they pours out like warm oil to my soul. I, filled unlike any description of fulness and realness and passion, am unable to articulable to utter or to think. All to my self I see Him, He's more than I ever imagined; He's all I ever need.
Just returned from an hour long drive to take possession of my tax returns. Thankfully, both ways, were full of flowers, yellow, white and orange mostly. Poppies are high up against the green hills. The dark clouds further into the mountains. The fires here have brought on all kinds of new abundant life while there was rain. The drought remains and will make the news again soon. Not far away are fields of figs and olives.
Song of Solomon 2:10-13
My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.
For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;
The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;
The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell.
Let Go Of The Past to Enter The Promised Land - In Reply on 1 Peter 5 - 3 years ago
Dear Lord, I give you my entire heart, soul and being. All of the training, studying and skills are yours. Each work that I do and the money I earn is done in your honor. I lay all of my hopes and aspirations at your feet. I pray that you will bless my work and find favor in all that I do. When I meet new challenges in my work, I pray that you will help me to overcome them and excel in my job. Please guide me throughout the day so that I may walk in your path in all that I do.
May all my joys be multiplied through the hope and love of Jesus Christ. Because I believe in you, Lord, I know that nothing is impossible for me. Through you, I can do all things. I pray that you will Give Favor in what I do. When I make a mistake or stumble, give me the wisdom and guidance I need to do the right thing. May your love reign supreme in my life and may I always work toward a better knowledge of you. Amen.
Jesus I agree with this your child that you will strengthen and enable her to refuse the traps of the devil. Keep her and her child safe while You bring her to a man of God, according to 1 Corinthians 7; to shelter, protect and guide in partnership. Help her to depend on You until that time. Song of Solomon 2:16. You depend on Jesus to help you with those things you need help with. Put your precious faith in Him.
LYNN: when I trusted Jesus it was the worst and the best day of my life. I didn't learn much in church when I was young. I heard about God and Jesus, but they didn't speak about the Holy Spirit. After a years of pain and loneliness the day of Salvation came. I received Jesus. The next morning everything looked the same but different. I did things without knowing why. Later I would find out it was the Holy Spirit. He comforted me while showing me how to be free of all the emotional pain I had lived. I started reading the Bible and haven't laid it down since. I have never known a love so deep and wide as God's love. Song of Solomon 2:16, 6:3, 7:10, I was smitten with the deepest feeling of belonging and being loved no matter what! If I made mistakes I was so afraid He'd stop loving me. It was day by day, and learning how to depend on someone to love me no matter what. Receive Jesus and his gift, Holy Spirit. You'll never walk alone again. Open the door of your heart. God cares.
Tina, here are some scriptures to help, there are many in Proverbs. Proverbs 3:1-5 - 5:18-19 - 12:4 - 18:22 - 19:14 - 20:6-7 - 31-10 - Ephesians 5:32-33 - Song of Solomon 2:10-13 - Matthew 19:4-6 - Luke 10:27 - John 15:9-12 - 1 Corinthians 7:1-5 - Colossians 3:18-19 - Hebrews 13:4-7. I pray these scriptures will help the young married couple.

reflections:God: special: Son: Jesus:
Like light in darkness so is the one(chosen) by God is among the worldly children of this age. Brethren let us be careful. Jesus encouraged us that our light should shine before them so they can turn to the father for repentance, please let your life style encourage others to come to Christ than you are a rose among thorns very precious before God.
This is a response to "Rob, Isaiah 35 ". "The excellency of Carmel and Sharon ". Carmel and Sharon were a location. Sharon was a very fertile land between Joppa and Mt. Carmel. The coastal plain of Sharon was known for its fertile soil and absolutely breath taking beauty of flowers. Look at Song of Solomon 2:1, the mention of "I am the rose of Sharon. ". We look at Isaiah 35:2, when we as man see open rolling mountainous Carmel valleys covered in millions of flowers of every single color, it is breath taking. It is absolutely a beauty that brings a sense of peace within. The splendor of Carmel and Sharon is just that, a creation of God that brings all of man too "awe struck ".
how can I get this King James Version of the complete bible with the Wisdom of Solomon in it along with the rest of the Old Testament books and the New Testament Books
The gazelle is a graceful animal, just like the deer, when you excite it and it begins to ran, you cannot tame it. So is love, one should be ready and well prepared before going into love.
There are two things i see in this chapter,first the beautifull relationship between a husband and his wife,then God and man.But within both relationships,there is acaution which is !the litle foxes!.These are so called small problems and should be taken out of relationships so fast or we face the damage.May God help us to identfy these little foxes in our relations with each other and God himself.
The concept behind this, means. those who believe in the word of god is the same as those non believers that still need to believe,and that I your god will continue to love them like a lost sheep!
God gave us the gift of sex within marriage along with the physical act.. There is an emotional aspect of love language as well.. so, there must be a balance between the two.
