So here I am reading Psalms 91 holding onto verse 1 because i know my God is so so so real I know where and what he brought me our of. I'm so grateful I could never deny his love and mercy because greater love than his no man has. I pray all would speak to him because he longs for a personal relationship with us as his children.
While wait, my sister, delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart. Seek his face, ask him to direct you in your choosing
In " 1 Thessalonians 5:23, "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." Paul is expanding on this idea that our whole being in all aspects is right before God. In fact the first part of the verse he explains this by saying "sanctify you wholly". So in a long way yes Paul understood the nature of man as a collective being with separate attributes, living, thinking, and doing.
The resurrection spoken of in the Bible is physical not spiritual. As Christ had a physical resurrection Luke 24:39 so will we be resurrected physically with a new body as stated in 1 John 3:2. The soul as I previously stated is the whole person body and breath ( Genesis 2:7) that will be raised to eternal life, Or raised to eternal destruction.
The doctrine of an immortal soul states that our spirit lives on immediately after death and either acsends to heaven or descend to hell. This is all spiritualistic and not Bible based as I previously stated.
"Boast not thyself of to morrow; for thou knowest not what a day may bring forth."
The Lord could just drop the right man before your eyes, or more likely draw you to one as you continue to wait on Him & meet with other believers. Do you attend a Church fellowship? Do they have special get-togethers for older folk, whether around the Word or going on outings? This would be the best way to meet & know those in the group & they too would get to know you & your situation. They may even know of a good Christian man also in such a situation that you could be introduced to. Or, the Pastor may be made aware of your need so that he too can keep this a matter before the eldership & diaconate for prayer & watchfulness.
Otherwise, there maybe special times for older folk run by aged homes, welfare organizations, etc. where folk can meet up & share in wholesome activities together, even if they are not necessarily 'Christian'. Any of these aren't wrong to join, but in everything we must submit to the Lord's leading & providing & not go ahead of Him. In any situation we find ourselves in, it is always, "My Grace is sufficient for thee". Walk closely with your Lord & He will satisfy you with His goodness & love.
"But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets: and have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust."Acts24:14&15 Paul has an expectation/hope, as he understood the law and prophets, to teach also. An eternal state for all souls IS biblical.
Now what about death. The Bible talks about death as sleep. Psalm 13:3 "Consider and hear me, O Lord my God: lighten mine eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death". Jesus said in Luke 11:11 "--Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep."
The idea of an eternal soul is not Biblical. If we have within us an eternal soul that lives on after death then what need is there of a resurrection or the second coming of Christ. Paul explains this in 1 Corinthians 15:12-58.
Men do not simply lose their carnal mind, as you suggest, but their souls as well, and for eternity.
You fit the description given in 2Peter 2, false teacher, which description God has given his people, for a time such as this.
Hello, there's 2 common theories I've heard:
1. Noah had 7 others with him. Some believe people from the races came from these 8 people. But this theory doesn't leave much information about culture or how they found wives within the same race.
2. Tower of Babel. (after the flood). Genesis 11:1-9. It says 2 things: (1) languages were created, and (2) people were scattered across the earth. It's likely Chinese when to China, Africans went to Africa, Europeans went to Europe, Indians to India, etc. And with the languages were cultures. And even though the Bible doesn't specifically say it, races could have been created at this time. I believe this is the most likely answer, because I don't think all races came from 8 people who were already included family. And race, culture, language, and location are all unique and interconnected.
God bless...
Even now, one person can stand up to Dead Apathy; and prophesy in the Name and The Power of the Blood of Jesus____to the dead bones in Sweden.
Your FAITH in God starts the shaking. The Holy Spirit makes the Bones stand up.
If revival is in your heart, it's there for a reason. God is looking for one person to take His WORD seriously. Don't let the nay-sayers grouch that it's "Old Testament".
Ezekial 37: It's written down for us to see it. Habakkuk 2:1-4, "that he may run that reads it"...
If the Lord places revival in your heart, that is your work. It's lonely but if that fire burns hot within your heart, run with it. You speak to the dry dead bones of revival.
Jesus sits at the right hand of God, right now, interceding for ALL SAINTS.
Write the vision down...in the Bible. The Bible is alive, written on the flesh of our hearts. If others with the same burden want to join you to pray for revival, let it be.
Commit your works to the Lord.
Psalm 69:9, 69:13
You're the 1st person I've heard say they want to see a revival in their nation. May the Lord bless you. I agree with you for revival in Sweden.
Pray: " Come Holy Spirit. Help Me."
I pray against sickness in my coming and going. I pray against any form of sickness coming near me, my family, or near my vicinity. I claim my healing against: (speak your disease out now) in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. I declare by the power and authority of the Holy Ghost, that no illness, spirit of infirmity or sickness attack from the enemy shall prevail against me in Jesus's mighty name. I am covered by the Blood of Jesus.
I confess Jesus Christ as my infinite Healer, and by His holy stripes and mighty authority, I declare that I am totally healed from the top of my head to the soles of my feet. I render every satanic attack against me bound up and cast out by the Name of Jesus! every spiritual foundation of sickness, and I command every infirmities spirit to bow down right now to the authority that is in the name of Jesus Christ. Go into outer darkness. Do not return in Jesus of Nazareth name!
I pray against sickness in any form or shape. I say with confidence that I am the healed of the LORD Jesus Christ. I cover myself and family with Christ's precious holy blood of Jesus and I declare by His holy might and righteousness, dominion and authority that it shall continue to be well with me and my family in all dominion, and dimensional realms.
I forbid by the authority of the Holy Ghost any reoccurrence of sickness in my life. I claim immunity for me and for my family against every form of sicknesses with the atonement blood of Jesus Christ. I declare that we carry the mark of Christ Jesus; therefore, let no infirmities spirits ever trouble us!
In Jesus of Nazareth holy name and by His righteous authority I have decreed and declared! I stand in faith. Amen.
Copy this down and use it till your Faith stands up like King David did, to Goliath.
Mishael
