i think means that we have different gift in our lifs . and we need each other no one can build the church alone.

This is a rich chapter on the magnitude of the love of Christ to us. We are to be strengthened by His spirit in our inner man by this truth which in turn builds boldenss &confidence in our walk of faith.

God has given us everything that a father will give to his children,and that's "Jesus".i will love christ till death.

in every situation we face in life,we must beleive that God is in control ,Apostle Paul said,"i can do all things through CHRIST who gives me strength"

@Marilyn Manocchio: Wow, Same situation here. I have been sustained by the almighty, while being out of work and he has been faithful so much that I am in awe. I'm still standing and he is still providing miraculously!

All round rest spiritually, emotionally and financially. God gives contentment and supplies.

The world is not a fun fair but a war fair; the day you enlist with Christ, you sign war with the devil. But with the instrumentality of faith through Christ Jesus, you will surely overcome and win the crown. Christ never says there will be no trouble as a child of God but he said he has given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions( the evil ones) and to overcome the power of the enemies and nothing will harm you

I am excited about God word scripture 17 No weapon formed agianst me shall prosper .It just gives you peace when you say it or read it

These scripture gives me an outview of who i am in the kingdom of God and that am secure in His presence

Jeremiah's words are as relevant in our lives today as they were then. Those of us far away from home working hard amidst uncertainties it is comforting to know there is a God who knows our end.

we may have sorrow,but joy comes after & makes us forget the past sorrows,joy washes away all the scars and pain forever.

Whenever I read this verses, I am always joyful and comforted, because God so love us that He sent Jesus Christ to reconcile us back to Him through the cross. You can feel the heart beats of God in those loving verses. God wants us save, healthy and full of life. To have sweet fellowship with him. It is His will, that we have life and have it more abundantly John 10:10. Thank you Lord for saving and loving us dearly. It's wonderful.

I've had several encounter with Jesus manifesting himself to me on a personal level through a prayer partner. He reveals his thoughts to me as well as giving me assurance of action i have taken. In one of my encounters he chasten me at the same time He say the most beautiful things which no man could say or think of. I will forever cherish those moments and have recorded has much as I could remember. jOHN 14:21 sums up my experiences

Can't nobody do me like Jesus.In the midst of everything I have been through, God brought me out every time.All I can say, "is thank you Jesus".

How can anyone describe it but with the word wonderful. I review my life and I earned death, but I found grace so much greater than my weakness through the truth that was promised ever since the Garden of Eden was closed off to man and woman, that one would come to bring us, all that will call on his name, back to God. This promise was not understood for thousands of years until Grace and Truth in the human form of Jesus, Eternal God, came to live with fallen man and offered himself a ransom for many. WOW

I agree with Les Browns comment.

Also, I suggest we look back to the event. 9 disciples left behind while Jesus took Peter, James and John up the mountain. On there return they find an argument is in full swing. Theologies rendering the authority of the disciples ineffective?

Jesus rebuke is not to be ignored!

Wicked and perverse generation... The word perverse implies that those involved in the attempt to heal and also the pursuing theological debate were more interested in themselves, their reputations and glory than they were in the plight of the boy and his father.
I can hear them judging the boy and the father... Who sinned.
Jesus did not come to condemn but to set the captives free... When the church gets suckered into a cause hunt, we fail to exercise the authority Christ has given.
Judge not lest ye be judged!
Now... Jesus didn't fast... He often prayed, but not for this boy... He didn't upbraid the father for his lack of faith... And Jesus is our example!
The usefulness of fasting is not an increase in our authority, it is useful in reducing us. Getting our religious and theological biases out of the way and turning us towards the work of God... Set the captives free!

I believe this is the strongest prayer ever done by someone to God, in the whole bible. Jesus knows He and the Father will be glorified soon, by Jesus sacrifice, and yet he is praying for them to the father to protect and keep them united not only for their sake, but for our sake, too. The prayer is sacred and comes deep from Jesus heart, in pain, because he knows his desciples will be scaterred if Father God doesn't do something for them. That,s why He stayed on earth and appeared to them and continued to give them courage and hope that He will not let them alone. An He didn't. On the day of Penticost He gave the Holy Spirit to all believers who were gathered , knowing what Jesus said, would do it too. Yes, He didn't leave them alone, but sent the H.S to every believer. I praise Him and the Father and the HS every day for coming into my life, Amen

God is Faithful in the sense that he keeps to his promises. God told Abraham that: I will make thee a great nation, bless thee and make your name great. I will bless them that blesses you and curse him that curses you.Althought the promises long a long time but at the set time it came to pass. According to the scriptures Father Abraham stager not at the promises of God through unbelief but he was strong in faith giving glory to God. No wonder it was counted to him for righteousness. This tells us that if we are patient enough, in Gods own time he will make all things beautiful in our lives.

Livegiving....HOPE..... in all the situations that seems to you as hopless....a foundation of truth which gives you the strengh to keep on standing in faith that everything is possible in the Lord!

VERSE 8,9 I MADE YOU JUST THE WAY YOU ARE I KNEW WHO YOU WAS AND WHAT YOU WAS BEFORE YOU WAS BORN AND DON,T BE AFRAID I AM PARTLY DEAF HAVE BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT AM I OR WHAT MORE CAN I DO,I FIND MY SELF TALKING LIKE A PROPHET AND SPEAKING THE WORD OF THE LORD TO HIS PEOPLE AND THEY RECIEVE IT WITH JOY,I WAS AFRAID CAN'T HEAR AND WHAT PEOPLE THINK OF ME AS A DEAF PERSON, THANK GOD FOR LEADING ME BECASUE HE KNOWS WHO I AM AND WAS BEFORE I WAS BORN ,I MAY CONTINUE TO LET THE HOLYGHOST LEAD ME UNTIL GOD SAY TO ME THIS OR THAT'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO I KNOW HE NEVER LEFT ME NOR FORSAKEN ME.

I get nothing but comfort from Gods promise
Their is so much love and trust.

God is so faithful to us. You can never out give God. When know better you should do better. I was paying 10% off my net pay and when I learned that I should pay off my gross I did just that and God has not only meet the needs of my family He has given me an increase every year. I tested Him and found God to be faithful.

I don't think the number of stones is as important as the choosing. Being smooth and round, they were the most perfect projectile, and in David’s practiced hand the most deadly. My question to myself is "what spiritual weaponry am I choosing to practice with daily, with the help of the Lord, that I might be better prepared to defeat my enemy, Satan?

Just want to say how wonderful our lord Jesus is.He turned me from my ungodly
N sinful ways and I'm thankful that we have a loving and merciful god. I was on a destructive path leading me to death.And Jesus always has me running full force right back to him.I love him with all my mind body and soul. He is still working on me.He has been so good to me.

i belive jesus died 4 me

New twist to consider. For all you who are weak and sometimes brokenhearted. Jesus said " ...I have come to heal the brokenhearted..." When I read this today it occurred to me. We can not only trust IN HIM with our whole heart. But also trust our whole heart TO HIM. as a faithful creator. Trust in Him, with your WHOLE heart. This one won't EVER let you down. He's a keeper:)

Am testfying the Love, Grace, Favour, Consideration,Kindness and my Father big heart which no mind can comprehend. He has been a God of possible, I see his grace every day. He is able to above all that we can't imagine. He work is ways we cannot understand. I call Him "my life". My family was meant to mount into nothing according to forces of this world. But God turned things around, he blessed us with all spiritual blessings. We protected us from every distruction. He turned ourlives around for his glory and honour. I love you Jesus Christ my life, am nothing without you. He even changed marks by the power of the Holy Spirit where I could not make. There absolutely nothing he cannot do.

My husband recently had two hemorragic (sp)strokes and two crainiotomies to drain the blood out. He was in a coma for over a week. I am not religious though my grandmother raised me in the Presbyterian church.
On the way to the hospital each day for over a month I recited the Lord's Prayer and the Valley of death part of Psalms 23.
The doctors did not think my husband would make it but he is home with me now and doing exercises to strengthen himself and also back on the computer working on his family history books. He is 83 and has multiple medical problems. The nurses and doctors called him the "miracle man".
I don't call it a miracle exactly but something gave him the strength to survive.

Don't be discouraged when the wicked prosper. Concentrate on the promises of God in the word of God and, the leading of the Holy Ghost. Remember that we are dust and all will return to it, we take nothing with us. We have been promised to rise again in translated glory. The wicked will become dust under our feet. Remember the humility of Abraham, he pitched tents on rented foreign land , a pilgrim but his progeny was promised ownership. We also must be subject to the principality and powers of the land we live in but, without surrender to disobedience of the Word of God and, the Holy Ghost. Like Daniel, the Lord will pull us from the fire and the lions den if necessary. We are tested but, not defeated. We have a race to run so, keep your eyes on the prize, even life forever more. Without life nothing matters..the dead own nothing, they can't protect their own graves! We have life in Christ and He rules His Kingdom, He will give every man his inheritance according to His good pleasure. God is good..Praise the Lord!

Meek means an awareness of the presence of God. That is awesome !!! God is the God of peace. Therefore we shall delight ourselves in the abundance of peace when we are aware of the presence of God in our lives !!!
