@April we were made to worship God ( Psalms 99:5-Rev 15:4-John 4:24) Don't let anyone upset u be proud being a Bible thumper.They call me a Holy Roller YES!! YES I am n I am proud of it too.
Hello you guys thank you for responding, I do not intend nor mean to disrespect anyone and above all FATHER,I have been lost for many years and finally at the age of 28 decided to read his word on my own,my bf does NOT believe in God or ANY "organized"religion, he has called me a bible thumper and made fun of what I believe in,it has hurt and angered me,I pray for him n myself,as well as his family
April, I didn't see anything wrong with your question.I was not offended. He wants us to come to his sanctuary in "truth" John 14:6. I have been told that my posts do not comply with their rules. I am sorry if I offended anyone. May the Lord give you understanding of ALL of His word. It is a process, search for wisdom everyday. Test every spirit with His word. I was hopeful that I could help U.
Hi April,I contend for the truth of who God is; His works,His faith,His love, His judgments.Typically most "preachers"of our day want to keep their pay check (hirlings) so they do not teach the whole counsel of God. All inspired scripture is given for reproof,correction,instruction. If Knowing all sides of God;wrath,hate,testing,"does not help people"why do you think he had it all written down?
I didn't mean to offend or upset anyone,if i did im sorry and please forgive me,I am just trying to say that alot of us know the holy book side of GOD n his SON,but is there not another side?like humor,or favorite colors,I think alot of people end up veiwing father as a TYRANT,an oppresive ruler,do this and that or you go to hell,it doesn't really help people get to know them,they want friendship
I am speaking of those who say they know what the word is,yet critize things in the bible and say stuff like GOD can't be who wrote these words and there are some people who are believers that make GOD out to be nothing but a dictator,like we have no freedom of choice to choose,I was wondering if people ever ask God and JESUS how are you doing today?,insead of bless me and other things,thats all..
April: What Believers are you talking about? All Believers that are Washed in The Blood of The Lamb have a Wonderful Fellowship with The Lord. Without His Spirit living within there is no Fellowship. Born-again Called: John 6:44 / Forgiving: 1John 1:9 / Washed: Revelation 1:5 / Baptized with The Holy Ghost: Matthew 3:11 / Changed: 2Corinthians 5:17, You will Know. Impossible not to! / Revelation 20:15
April, Job 21:30 "day of destruction" is the day of the Lord. God reserves the wicked for this day. "They are brought forth to the day of wrath." God brings them forth,it is his wrath. I declare his word, his word is truth. God is Love, kind, Wisdom, but I contend; he teaches us about his judgement and anger.
May I suggest you look at def. of "tyrant"in Mirriam Webster dictionary.
Hi April,"make them out to be tyrants"I am so thankful to answer;I hope you have time to read with understanding,wisdom,hope,my post.Job21:28-30:V.30"That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction?they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath"V.31,Who shall declare his way to his face?and who shall repay him what he hath done?"He is ,love,kind,just,He has anger.believe truth.More later.
Shalome,All,I was wondering I see many commentary in these passages but I was curious,has anyone tried to have a relationship with GOD and Jesus?,like ask them how their day is going,try to converse with them like you would a friend?,they want friendship with us,and most make them out to be tyrants,even the believers,they are JUST and FAIR and LOVE us,we were made to have a companionship with them
The allotment of the land in Canaan to the children of Israel has begun. Assignment is according to how God dictated to Moses. We pray to be joint heirs of His great Kingdom when He comes to take His bride home.
Joshua 14: 8, 9, 14; Caleb didn't inherit his mtn. because he was a 'brave' man, nor a good man, nor a man who worshipped God; lots of people are these things, but what they don't do is - "wholly follow the Lord God." There's more to 'wholly' than most people know - or even want to know; and it's ALL found in His word. But most people don't have time to read His word; sports, soaps, etc.
See how Caleb rightfully claimed what was his. He asked for his portion as promised in God's Word through the profet Moses. He asked for something which was in God's divine program. He did not ask amiss even as James says, "ye receive not because ye ask amiss..."If we ask anything which is in God's divine promises, by revelation, we are bound to receive.
Joshua was a man full of faith and courageous. How i wish we could be like him we will be able to claim what belong to us no matter how big as the mountain rather than ask for simple this in life.
Caleb was 85 and he said give me the mountain, he didn t say give me the valley, because at that mountain there were giants that had stop him from going in 40 years ago. So when people serve you, you will give them a second chance to whip the devils that whip them. So let the fire fall right now in all of our life s. Then let the rain come. So giants will have to run for cover.
Our God has always had a good plan for all of us. Jesus had appointed time for us to be blessed coz all of his works are perfect and his gifts and blessings are perfect. Our job is to believe that there is God and Jesus is the only mediator between man and God. We must believe and accept Jesus words and follow and obey his commandments for we shall see life in abundance. Jesus made a plan for us in the land to be fruitful and live with full of milk and honey. Jesus is so faithful to his promises for those who listens and obey his words. Jesus love us so much and he cant stop loving us. Thanks to Jesus for sheding his precious blood to save us. Amen
we need each one of us to embrase the the spirit of Caleb which is the spirit of Christ and of God which will not only enable us to conquor our spiritual batles but also inherit our spiritual and physical blessings
I remember in the 14th chapter of Numbers how that God said Caleb had a different spirit. I believe this was the spirit of faith. For Caleb had said if our God delights in us, we are more than able to take the land. That is the kind of faith we need to day to reach the promise land that Jesus is gone to prepare for us.
Caleb wholly followed the Lord. He never waivered in his faith and trust in God. We don't really understand how much importance God puts on our having confidence in HIM--totally trusting HIM without staggering at HIS faithfulness and power.
