I am glad that you are continuing this series on attributes of God. Obviously you have more knowledge of scriptures and better teacing abilities than I do; and I have been preoccupied with work and concerns at home lately. I never do well when I have to rehearse something or come up with a lecture to correspond with a set agenda; but I will attempt to add some thoughts in this alphabetical list Lord willing by this weekend...
As to your prayer request I will pray for your relative. I assume she is in a hospital; as UrgiCare to my knowledge wouldn't hook a person up to IV. I had 2 hospital stays getting over appendicitus and was on nutrition PIC line both times (IV fluids mainly with first stay). Obviously for different reasons; but it gives me an idea what it is like in that perdicament. (I could be wrong BTW I suppose a person could go home with such a device; it is always a challenge to get around especially to the bathroom hooked up to such machinery i called it the "IV dance".
Anyway; I think I get it with the criticism; we are eventually going to be sinless but we are being sanctified now while on earth. Glad you handle criticism well...
"Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates(condemned, disapproved)?"
Paul suggests to believers to examine themselves. If we stand in the faith, if we are still walking on the narrow path of the faith. If we retain our faith and trust in God. If we find ourselves lacking then repentance and return is needed.
"9...most gladly therefore will I rather glory(boast) in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."
Boast in his infirmities? Take pleasure in his necessities and persecutions? Why? Because in that way the power of God was shown to/in him. Certainly Paul had reached a high spiritual level.
"17But he that glorieth(boast), let him glory in the Lord. 18For not he that commendeth(recommends) himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth."
"Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed SUBJECTION UNTO THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;"
Helping our brothers and sisterd is subjection to the Gospel. The theory is good but the time of the practical subjection to the Gospel is better.
Lord Jesus you know the cries of our hearts and the petitions we have made even here. I continue to ask. Please grant soon breakthrough. I ask for strong protection, deliverance, healing, salvation (those not saved), guidance and all the specific situations and circumstances previously mentioned. Please grant help to all in need on here and everywhere, esp. salvation. Please confront A about her behavior and please stop this relationship and also the New Age practices and comfort K and help her not to obsess about grades. Please also heal M and uncle K. and please help me with job and emotions and also the conflict with KM and S. Thank you. In your holy name I pray. Amen.
Lord Jesus please help. Please touch Pnovello's daughter with your healing hands. Grant a miracle. Comfort Pnovello and the entire family. We keep knocking for breakthrough asking you to glorify yourself in those situations and circumstances we have been lifting up to you. Thank you Father. In Jesus name. Amen.

This is the first day of the rest of our lives. Having come before our Lord this morning in prayer, and according to his faithfulness to cleanse and forgive; having received forgiveness and cleansing; let us begin at the place where we are at this moment, forgetting those things which are behind and reach forward to those things which are before us.
We can do nothing about what has passed except to ask God to forgive us for our sins and short coming, but by God's grace and enabling power, we can if we will, take that which we have now and "Press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." Philippians 3: 14.
What is the prize of the high calling of God? The prize of the high calling of God is: "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death; if by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead." Philippians 3 10.
The prize of the high calling of God is our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ: "Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able to subdue all things unto himself." Philippians 3:-21.

I'm doing great I have a doctor's appointment today. God is good and he has given me grace which I'm truly grateful for. The job is going well the kids I complained about are in the CPS . They had documentation of the kids behavior. So know I can rest easy and enjoy my job.
You said "We can depend on what he has revealed of Himself and what He has caused to be recorded of His Words in Scripture. He is the same yesterday, today, and always".
I agree with that 100%!
( Titus 1:2) Tells us "In hope of eternal life, which ((God, that cannot lie)), promised before the world began".
God cannot lie.
The KJB tells us that Jesus said in ( Jn 7:8) .."I go ((not up yet)) unto this feast" Then v10 Jesus goes to the feast.
All modern version bibles change what Jesus said in v8 to "I am ((not going)) to this festival" Then v10 Jesus went to the festival in all of the modern versions.
Modern versions all changed the words to make Jesus a liar. Would you say that's acceptable?
It seems that could be blasphemy, changing the words so it sounds like Jesus is a liar. God surely didn't cause those words to be recorded in Scripture to make Jesus a liar. This one thing is Biblical proof that modern versions are all corrupt, and they are not inspired by God.
It only needs to be seen and accepted as the Truth that it is.
The 10 Commandments remain paramount for all Christians today.
They were given to all present at Mt. Sinai, including the strangers who were present, as well as all who were not present that day.
Jesus came teaching and obeying all of them and His followers who walked along side Him on this earth also followed all of them immediately after His death and for 300 years thereafter until the Catholic church was instituted and changed everything.
John teaches that sin is the breaking of the 10 Commandments and that we are to obey all of them just as Jesus Christ did.
Christian MEANS follower of Christ.
Christ obeyed the 10 Commandments,
Christ taught the 10 Commandments
and Christ's followers obeyed them all
AND ...
all Christ's true followers today CONTINUE to obey the 10 Commandments of God Almighty.

"... Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you..."
Have we really understood that we don't belong ourselves any more? Have we really realized that Christ is in us and we belong to Him?
1 Cor 6:19-20,
"19. What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?
20. For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's."
Amen
"Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates(condemned, disapproved)?"
Paul suggests to believers to examine themselves. If we stand in the faith, if we are still walking on the narrow path of the faith. If we retain our faith and trust in God. If we find ourselves lacking then repentance and return is needed.
Have a nice day or night.
"... for the children ought not to lay up for the parents, but the parents for the children."
"Truly the signs of an apostle were wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and wonders, and mighty deeds."
The above is for all those who claim that miracles are not necessary. God recommends his ministers, not in words only.
"I am become a fool in glorying(boasting); ..."
What does the one who boasts become?
"9...most gladly therefore will I rather glory(boast) in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
10. Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I strong."
Boast in his infirmities? Take pleasure in his necessities and persecutions? Why? Because in that way the power of God was shown to/in him. Certainly Paul had reached a high spiritual level.
"17But he that glorieth(boast), let him glory in the Lord. 18For not he that commendeth(recommends) himself is approved, but whom the Lord commendeth."
"4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)
5 Casting down imaginations(the grk says "thoughts, considerations"), and every high thing that exalteth itself against the
knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;"
"Whiles by the experiment of this ministration they glorify God for your professed SUBJECTION UNTO THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST, and for your liberal distribution unto them, and unto all men;"
Helping our brothers and sisterd is subjection to the Gospel. The theory is good but the time of the practical subjection to the Gospel is better.
"And God is able to make all grace abound toward you; that ye, always having all sufficiency in all things, MAY ABOUND TO EVERY GOOD WORK"
"Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver."
Tiths? No, not.
"But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully."
Do we like to get a lot from God? Then we must be ready to give a lot (to our brothers and sisters).
