  • Tunney on Acts 11:26 - 1 year ago
    There is absolutely no works to be done for Salvation in CHRIST. Ephesians 2:

    8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

    9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

    Water baptism is not a requirement of salvation. Romans 6:

    3 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

    4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

    5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

    When we are Scripturally born again we have been made justified in CHRIST, no longer bound for hell or the lake of fire. We are then called to do the work of the LORD which is called sanctification. v10 of Ephesians 2.

    Salvation is only by faith alone, in the shed blood alone, of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

    May GOD open the hearts of all unto the sufficiency of the Gospel of the LORD JESUS CHRIST.

    Merry Christmas to all on this forum, and a happy and prosperous New Year.

    Father God, we ask for Your supernatural healing power be on Andrew. From the crown of his head to the soles of his feet.

    Healing for his soul, body and mind. In the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Thank You Jesus. Amen

    Heavenly Father, I agree with RicoUS. We have come to You for years on end with no results.

    Please set free the family member in bondage. Evil spirits we cast you out in the Mighty Name of Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, we ask that you dwell in the member and guide that child in the right path. Father God, give Your child a burning desire to know you intimately.

    Father God, please heal us. As George Muller cried out, now please! We believe in You. Your mercy and Your grace.

    Thank You Father God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Amen

  • RicoUS - 1 year ago
    Please pray for the Lord's intervention concerning spiritual attacks (esp. through one family member in heavy bondage, but it affects all of us to varying degrees). We need deliverance, healing and there are several who need salvation. I'm asking for miracles after decades of praying and constantly facing stubborn resistance. Please ask for strong protection and breakthrough for us and all in need. Asking that the Lord frees us so we are effective in the kingdom.

  • Tunney on Ezekiel 18 - 1 year ago
    My sins, are those that I commit myself. I will only be held responsible for the ones I do. GOD is righteous in all HIS judgements.

    When I repent and confess my sins to HIM, HE is faithful and just to forgive me, and cleanse me from all unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9

    When I walk in the Spirit; it will keep me from sin. Galatians 5:16

    Thank YOU LORD JESUS for the joy of serving YOU.

    Merry Christmas to all, and a prosperous New Year.

    GOD to shine HIS blessed face on all who read, pray, and follow HIS precepts and commandments.

    Commitment to GOD'S way will bring us closer to being the type of person HE desires us to be. 2 Timothy 3:16, 17

    Titus 2:11-14

    14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

    We will be able to conduct ourselves in accordance to the mind of CHRIST, heeding the leadership before us. Romans 13:1-5

    Being crucified in CHRIST, and knowledgeable in HIS word we are able to go forward and carry out HIS word and make disciples, Matthew 28:18-20; being encouraged, we will go out to reach the lost, 2 Peter 3:9.

    May we be faithful in our prayers for the peace in Jerusalem, and for the authority before us,

    Isaiah 55:

    11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

    1 Timothy 2:1-6

    GOD to shine HIS blessed face upon us as we put on the new man in CHRIST name, and put off the old man. For if any man be in CHRIST, he is a new creature. 2 Corinthians 5:17

    Thank YOU FATHER for the faithfulness of the brethren here on this forum. Help us to be prayed up, and be reminded to wear the armor of GOD daily. Ephesians 6:11-18

    Introduction

    (In the coming months I shall be busy with editing the Bible Dictionary in three volumes.-b)

    Is another Bible dictionary really necessary? It would seem judging the dictionaries that are available these provide husks than meat. The name of the author sells and his celebrity status and numbers do count. The word of God is to be treated as Holy Writ and not as a piece of merchandise.

    The Holy Spirit makes it plain: "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:/That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works (2 Ti.3: 16-17)". How many books available now are prepared in strict adherence to the above? The present work is taken up to fill a void, and prepare a child of God to quit him like a man in this age of lawlessness. He sorely needs solid food from the word of God.

    The adage 'child is the father of man' is very much true also in the making of a man of God. It is reasonable that a pedagogue relies as much on truth he knows by experience, and the trusting nature of the child does the rest. This is evident in the preceding verse of St Paul's epistle: 'And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus (v.15)'. Hearing the word of God is not simply a matter for the ear. The sound one hears is processed elsewhere so it makes sense to him. "Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." This time St Paul writing to the believers in Rome says this sound has been heard. Instead of being led astray from present topic we may believe that the ability of man to process what he hears is as natural as the night follows day.

    Gospel of God when broken down to sounds makes sense and as St Paul puts it, "Yes verily, their sound went into all the earth, and their words unto the ends of the world (Ro.10: 18,17)".
  • Tunney on Luke 20 - 1 year ago
    I thank my Savior for showing great restraint, patience, and love for me, as I rejected HIS claims and title to my life as this chapter shows of the elders, officers, and people did. But of HIS love of HIS FATHER in heaven; and HIS desire for all to be saved - HE endured the ridicule, rejection, and humiliation and went obediently to complete the plan of SALVATION by dying on the cross, being buried, and raised on third day as written. I and any one who believes and trust in the gospel will be saved. Romans 10:9-12; Acts 4:12

    Thank YOU LORD JESUS for YOUR gift to the world. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to every one on this forum.

    Numbers 6:26 The LORD lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

    correction; further thoughts on Christ's return

    I should have said utilizing the power of the Godhead wasn't exacted in Christ's earthly ministry as to Christ giving Himself any added benefits; wealth or comfort (any self seeking reason). He did many miracles but of course would pray giving God all the glory. In His first 30 years no miracles were indicated before His public ministry; and the first one turning water into wine perhaps was something He allowed before the other miracles. Reliance on the Spirit; of course is necessary for all of us; thus in His sinless earthly existance He was tempted but without sin; and had total dependance on God the Father and to be strengthened by angels; ministering through the power of the Spirit.

    It perhaps is a novel thing just as much for us as for His disciples of old once resurrected; seeing Him ruling as King which is something no doubt they greatly desired when He first came. Maybe at that time we will understand the distinctions better between His role and that of the Father; which will probably be even clearer once He "hands over the Kingdom to the Father" ( 1 Cor. 15:24). To add another layer; we will rule and reign with Him; and David himself will once again be king along with Him as several scriptures indicate.

    The advent season

    When considering the return of Christ from our perspective we look forward to the conquering King at His second coming (which in reality is at least His third appearance since He ascended from the grave as a sort of part b to His first appearing in the form of the Son of Man; and the Second Coming is split into the Rapture when He appears in the air and when He physically returns at Armaggedon being a sort of "fourth" coming).

    Of course this term doesn't appear in scripture; nor does the Word "trinity". Rapture is what Harpazo means after translation to the term "rapturo" so it isn't in our English texts. In a broader context; Christ appeared in the Old Testament many times (known as a Christophene if it is spelled right). It would seem that the Preincarnate Christ would be there all times; in fact when the Lord communed with man; as no man can see God and live ( Exodus 33:20). The same could be said for Christ in all His glory; John fell at His feet as though dead in his encounter in Revelation ( Rev. 1:17-18).

    It is truly profound to consider how Christ was reduced to the microscopic size of a human fetus; just as much as a virgin birth. Surely in that state the angels were protecting him; being part of the Godhead wasn't part of His earthly ministry ( Philippians 2:7) as He had to live as a substitute for us; but without sin as well as dying as our atonement as the perfect sacrifice. The fact that Christ died for His enemies is remarkable. How He took on our sins is incomprehensible as well; but this was God's plan from before the foundation of the earth.

    May us all remember the verse Matthew 21:44 in regard to falling on Christ. When He returns He will fall on His enemies and crush all the empires of this world as foretold in Daniel 2:45. Let us fall down in worship and adoration today.

  • Tunney on 1 Timothy 2 - 1 year ago
    The joy of the LORD is my strength! Many times I have to remind myself of the persecutions I will go through and have gone through because of my faith in CHRIST JESUS.

    I thank the brethren on this forum for their faithfulness and love for the word and the fellow saints. Stand and be encouraged for as GOD reminds us, this too will pass. These verses have helped me... Hebrews 10:25; 1 Corinthians 10:13; probably one of the hardest for me - Romans 8:28. And many more- I'm sure veteran saints on this forum can add others too.

    It is difficult, but we are called to be a blessing to as many as possible without expecting any type of return - horizontally. Our blessing will come vertically, from above,

    James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

    Sorry Brethren! didn't mean to be preachy.

    GOD to shine HIS blessed face on you and your family during this wonderful time of praising of our SAVIOR.

    Merry Christmas and have a prosperous New Year!

  • Tunney on Acts 10 - 1 year ago
    May we be able to discern the mind of the LORD JESUS CHRIST as we go about our daily lives. Doors to be opened for us as it was for Peter and Cornelius. So much to do before I go into eternity or others to pass on without knowing the peace of GOD through the salvation of the LORD.

    Let us increase our prayer time, our reading of the Bible, and witnessing to the lost.

    Thank you brethren for your faithfulness on this forum. GOD to shine HIS wonderful face on all the saints. Let us pray faithfully and diligently for the "apple of GOD'S eye", the peace in Jerusalem as well as in other war torn areas. The saints in Armenia and the LORD'S mission fields.

    Merry Christmas and have a blessed New Year every one. May the peace of GOD be upon you and your family.

    Isaiah 9:

    6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.

    7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this.
  • Tunney on Ezekiel 17:22 - 1 year ago
    Our LORD JESUS CHRIST is always in charge, so we need not fret or worry for the the things we are facing in our country now. All true saints are blessed; however, we pray for the lost and harden hearts to find CHRIST before they go into eternity.

    We are encouraged to trust in HIS word and lift up our leadership in prayer. Our duty is to stand in the gap and make a hedge for all as we take the battle to the spiritual wicked in high places. Armour up saints, "...taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked." Ephesians 6:16

    Let us all be prayed up as we go before the LORD'S throne of grace on the behalf of the peace in Jerusalem, the saints in Armenia, the need for spiritual wisdom in DC, courage in our pulpits to preach the whole counsel of the LORD GOD. Thank YOU FATHER for CHRIST'S salvation and our place in heaven.

    Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year unto all on this platform. December 20, 2023

    Matt.13:33 "Three measures of meal"

    " The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened."

    What do three measures of meal signify. The Spirit has given us a clue. Each measure of it signifies body spirit and soul respectively as you find Abraham does. One measure as adequate for each of the three. " And Abraham hastened into the tent unto Sarah, and said, Make ready quickly three measures of fine meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the hearth."(Ge.18:6) He sets it before Trinity and they did eat. "and set it before them; and he stood by them under the tree, and they did eat.

    The leaven in the Parable refers to the doctrine of Christ. our lives are hid in Christ 'till the whole was leavened'. It points our abiding life in Christ till 'that mortality might be swallowed up of life'.(2 Co.5:4)
  • Bennymkje - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Hi Gigi,

    Everlasting is implied by the Spirit when God renews covenant,"And I will establish my covenant with you," and the Spirit calls it ' God remembered Noah, "And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth."(Ge.9:16)

    By the same token the Spirit refers God tempted as in "that God did tempt Abraham,"(Ge.22:1). God wanted to bring to fore what was foremost hidden in Abraham. Bring to light his faith that remained untested do far. At the end God says, "for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not withheld thy son, thine only son from me." (22:12) 'Thine only son' is used as the heir of promise as in the case of his 'only begotten Son' referring to the Word become flesh. David as man after my heart has its own significance. David as a double for his Son, heart as double for soul in Trinity. We have such a wonderful document from God inexhaustible riches of his wisdom and power and it is a comfort to be able chew over it at all times.

    Hello again Bennymkje,

    I love the words "Everlasting Covenant". These words from God tell me that He is sovereign and will bring about what has already been determined before creation. How comforting this is to know.
