Im seeking God on a situation. He knows the situation. I would just like prayers for me an my family during this time. An prayers that God will reveal to me the answer to what im seeking. Prayer for protection an togetherness an healing.
For my wife, who is suffering from headache and half part of her right side of body pain and numb. Continue medications from renown doctors did not help. She read Bible every morning and prayed half an hour everyday. She is more devout than myself. Though we have our own iniquities. Please pray. God heals...
I ask to keep my parents in prayers. May God grant them health and peace. May he bless my family and give me the courage to take the test I need in order to become a teacher. I ask for my younger brother, for his health and happiness, as well as for my whole family, my husband and my child. I also ask for my uncle who suffers from epilepsy. Thank you for all you do.
Please pray that I find a home to purchase and then I have God's direction and means to do so. Also if you could pray that my daughter comes back home soon.
2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
GOD bless all on this forum. Happy New Year! The LORD to shine HIS face on all and to gloriously bless all who love and wait for HIS coming.
It was not the Catholic church that established Sunday instead of Sabbath. Untill 1054 AD when the scism/split between the Western Catholic Church and the Eastern Ortodox Church occured, the church was a united universal church. That church came as continuation of the first church and kept many of the traditions and ordinances of that early church. Apart from the Bible there are many other writtings of early christians who wrote about Sunday. Some of them are: Justin the Martyr (100-165 AD), Ignatius of Antioch (50-120/140 AD), The Epistle of Barnabas (70-130 AD), The Teachings of the 12 Apostles (Didascalia Apostolorum) 70-200 AD
Galatians 4:9-11, "But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years. I am afraid of you, lest I have bestowed upon you labour in vain."
1 Corinthians 16:2 "Upon the first day of the week let every one of you lay by him in store, as God hath prospered him, t
Romans 14:5 "And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight."(Question? Does your church only meet on Sunday to fellowship and hear preaching and teaching? Is Sunday the only day of the week you might hear preaching from the minister? This verse just tells of believers gathering on Sunday to fellowship and listen to Paul preach because he had to leave the next day. It doesn't interpret as abolishing their regular worshiping on the Sabbath.)
Collisians 2:14 & 16 "Blotting out the handwriting of ORDINANCES (my caps) that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross; Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holyday, or the new moon or of the sabbath days." (This judgment is speaking of situations on the sabbath as when David fed his men shewbread that was only to be eaten by the Jewish Priests on the Sabbath. 1 Samuel 21:1-6, Christ feeding His disciples from the cornfield on a Sabbath. Matthew 1:21 and pulling an ox out of a ditch on the Sabbath. Luke 14:5; if there are things that needed to be done out of necessity on the Sabbath, you should not let men judge you for doing that.)
I don't know how any of the verses I noted can be interpreted as showing that the early church willingly changed it's weekly worship and fellowship from the sabbath to the first day of the week. As I presented, there is historical proof that they didn't. As the "ravening wolves in sheep clothing" ( Matthew 7:15) began to creep into the church, a change was eventually made to abolish the sabbath and worship and refrain form labor on Sunday. Constantine and the Catholic Church mainly changed it and the world followed.
I ask for prayers for my daughter. She is suffering from non stop pain . I know our almighty God is a healer. I ask that you take her pain away and give her rest. Her body is worn out from weeks and weeks of pain. I ask these things in Jesus name.
Please pray for my niece. She suffered a stroke Friday, 2 weeks after having her baby and is in critical condition. Our family is having a mass prayer tonight at 8. Please stop what you are doing then and pray. Her daughter is still in NICU and needs her momma.
Dear Father I Pray for healing this Year. I pray for a good report from the Doctors. I Pray you place Your healing hands upon Me & give me that breakthrough in my Health. In Jesus Almighty Name, Amen!!
I need prayers to never get tired of praying, to spend more time in the work of God, to adhere to the promises that have made with regard to the work of God, and for peace and harmony in my family.
Praying for my heart to heal as my entire family betrayed me. My heart is completely shattered. Also recently finding out I was physically abused since birth from bm since obvious product of affair. And recently rejected by birth father, birth nephew and half sisters all dead. It just made me realize I was honestly never loved or wanted my entire life. And that's a hard lesson to learn. I've always struggled feeling like an "accessory " with my adopted parents. But this last year taught me I honestly never meant anything to both sides of adoptive families. Thankfully my biological father family is phenomenal and welcomed me. My two cousins and I are really close..
Amen RicoUS Amen. Heavenly Father, bless us with salvations, healings, miraclesthis new year. Millions of Your children are in dire need of Your mercy.
Father God, bless RicoUS for he always includes us along with him. He is not selfish.
I would like so some people of good will to pray for me, specifically my health, my health was good up until few days ago then everything hit me. Im "good" for now, but its not so enjoyable to live like this... Thanks to all in advance, like Paul said when you stand watch that you dont fall
Please pray for our dog who is 16 & having cluster seizures. Also for my sister who is an addict & hasn't been heard from in a month. Thank you. God Bless
There have been a number of posts where I have brought up the fact that God chastises all those He loves ( Heb. 12:6; Proverbs 3:12). The alternative to that is eventually the judgment of our works; which of course without Christ leads to damnation as no one does good; not even one ( Rom. 3:11-12; Psalm 53:3).
What hasn't been discussed is the fact that those living through the same event could personally be experiencing chastisement or judgment depending on the state of the individuals in question. This can be illustrated in 1 Cor. 10:1-5 where everyone went through the sea but God's displeasure caused many to die. In fact; only Joshua and Caleb were to survive from that generation to enter the Promised Land. Moses himself could only see it from afar. This is not to say that all were lost who came out of Egypt who peerished in an eternal sense (as we see with Moses); but the pattern is there. God performed what He promised in deliverance; despite the complaints in the wilderness He provided for their needs.
This pattern can be seen in the judgments of Revelation. God uses the Tribulation to purify His people and bring a countless multitude to the Lord through martyrdom ( Rev. 7:9-11 etc). There are also those with the mark of God who may be so spiritually pure that chastisement is not really needed ( Rev. 7:1-8).
Clearly even today the attitude of someone in this life in a similar situation is vastly different depending if they are walking in the Spirit or in the flesh. Luke 12:48 shows the principle of more responsibility to those who are given much; that is we have the Spirit of God who has overcome the world living in us as saints. We have overcome the world but are still living in the world ( John 17:16-26).
We must always remember that Christ has won the war; we are in battles leading to the inevitable victory against a vanquished foe. Let your light shine therefore before men ( Matt. 5:16).
Well my opinion is that healing IS actually a matter of faith. I don't know you and the circumstances you are living under so I am talking in general. When Jesus was ministering in this world nobody who came to Him and requested their heailing was left uncured, unless there was unbelief. Mark 6:5-6, "And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. And he marvelled because of their unbelief...". So it seems it was not possible even for Jesus to heal some people. Not because He did not have the power to do so but because the power of God has to meet our faith to be energized. Faith is the most essential thing in the christian belief. Through faith Abraham was considered righteous by God, through his faith he almost sacrificed Isaac and through his faith he received him back. Through our faith in Jesus' sacrifice we receive eternal life. God has chosen faith to be the condition of receiving things by Him, material things or spiritual. Without faith nobody receives anything from God. James 1:6-7, " But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. "
Jesus gave his life for us not only for our righteousness but for our illnesses as well. Isaiah 53:5, "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." But as we need faith to be saved, similarly we need faith for the healing of our body and soul. Without faith non of those comes to us. We are not any different from other people, we get ill like everybody else. But we were given the right from God to ask Him to cure us and receive it. So lets energize our faith. Being close to God uplifts our faith. So lets move closer to Him. GBU
Lord Jesus thank you for your grace and mercy. Forgive our many sins. Please Lord we need encouragement and strength. Please fight our battles for us, strongly protect us and grant full deliverance, healing and most importantly salvation (for those not saved). Touch us with your Holy Spirit. The enemy is attacking constantly but I stand on Proverbs 30:5. Lord what I pray for us do also for all others in need. Bring many into the fold and use us to spread the fragrance of the knowledge of you. Thank you Lord Jesus. I pray in your holy name. Amen
Lord Jesus please richly bless, protect and guide them. Please help them in accordance with your perfect will Father. Thank you and praise you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.
Lord Jesus I want to join in asking for your help in this situation and for Gigi's husband for peace and encouragement for him. Thank you for the provision through the inheritance. May you go before them and may they follow your will as you order their steps.
I am glad to have you back once again. No need to explain to me about your circumstances. I am just happy to hear from you!
God has blessed us with yet another day and the beginning of another year. May we all be fruitful unto the Lord in our daily lives.
Thank you for your prayers for my family members. I know that God hears all or our prayers and is more than able to answer to our requests, especially for the salvation of ones we pray to be saved.
There is a reason for God tarrying in answering some of our requests, and I trust Him in all things. There also is a reason we have been instructed to persevere in prayer for answers to come and to bring every concern to the Lord in prayer. I am keeping these things in mind and practice as much as I can.
Have a good day, Giannis. Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
May we learn to love and praise the LORD. May we forget not of HIS forgiveness of our sin and the power of HIS presence in our lives. It is most unfortunate for us to only really want and desire what we had after we have lost it. Colossians 3:1
Let us stay close to the "ROCK" of our salvation, and the wisdom of our GOD through our diligent study and application of HIS word. Let us walk in the LORD and not fall to the lust of this world. Galatians 5:16
GOD bless everyone as we enter into this new year 2024!
January 1, 2024
The Lord to shine HIS face on all who love HIM; and bless us gloriously.
We have all come another day closer to the return of Christ. Isaiah 51:6 and other verses in Psalms refer to the earth waxing old like a garment; but as Job said there will be a resurrection and we shall see Him in our own flesh ( Job 19:26 and surrounding verses). The suffering of the saints which is part of God's purging process in our own lives will come to an end; certainly if Paul with the immense suffering promised him in Acts 9:16 could state that sufferings now are no comparison to what is to come ( Romans 8:18) heaven is too wonderful for words.
Whatever is left will be restored during the Millennium so that people can live fulfilled long lives in a peaceful existence. The earth will produce its fruit in abundance and Satan will be restrained. Only this will bring about the end of war ( Isaiah 2:4).
I will be the first to admit; and I doubt that I'm the only one that it seems almost a cruel joke to hold on to such hope; especially in regard to the Rapture which was rather obsessed over in the 1970s and 1980s and today hardly discussed in traditional church settings. We have come to a point where it is not discussed in church; but there are numerous online sites which are pretty much obsessed with the topic and endless dreams and visions that individuals are supposed to have had on the issue. It is hard to imagine just how great it will be not to have Satan and his emissaries like a spider with tentacles removed from what is now a chokehold on almost everything in the world today. Nonetheless we have a cloud of witnesses ( Heb. 12:1) which are of every saint who has died since the time of Christ and in fact some are the "first of the firstfruits" as it were of the O.T. saints resurrected in Matthew 27:52 and 53.
To imagine society without the violence and lawlessness of today is a stretch. When Christ comes to rule with a rod of iron He will also be just (see Isaiah 11:3 and other verses). Today may He reign in our hearts.
For this new year of 2024 Please pray for my health, my finances, my family, seen and unseen danger. Pray against anything that wants to cripple my life, against the spirit of rejection, indebtness, to pay all my credit cards and other bills, to revoke all spells, curses, spirit of harassment, hostility, jealousy against my life and home, pray to overturn any death wish made against me, pray against termination of weapons of lies, false accusations, slander, malicious rumor and satanic roadblocks and for a long healthy and prosperous life and all that i failed to ask for God to grant me according to his riches in glory. Thank you and God Bless you.
2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multiplied.
3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.
