Discuss 1 Samuel 12

Ruth, you picked up a spirit of fear. He has friends named torments. Copy paste the scriptures in your Notes App on your phone or PC. Pray them out loud as often as you need to.

1 John 4:18

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment (an evil spirit) He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

2 Timothy 1:7

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, love and of a sound mind.

1 Samuel 12:24

Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he has done for you.

Proverbs 19:23

The fear of the LORD leads to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied; he shall not be visited with evil.**

Romans 8:15 - For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Hebrews 13:6 - So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

You as a Christian have the authority in Jesus Name to make these things leave you forever. So say this as often as needed:

In the Name of Jesus of Nazareth, I bind up the spirits of fear and torments and loose their bands of oppression in my life. I bind your evil works in my life. In Jesus Name and the Power of His Authority, I command you to go into outer darkness and dry places. GO NOW in Jesus Name.

I release healing, joy in my salvation, and soundness and peace over my mind__in the Name of Jesus I receive it in my born again spirit.

I am free! Hallelujah to my Lord and Savior.

A teaching by Jesus. Matthew 12: 43-44

We are to keep our house garnished with the Bible. They can't ever come back__as we are faithful to read New Testament and fill our soul and spirit with Gods Word. Our reading and prayer time takes precedence over less worthy activities.

May God bless you and carry you to happier times in your life and fellowship on here if you have time.

Love to you,

Hello Imoh Etuk. Nahash was the king over the Ammonites ( 1 Samuel 12:12). Jabeshgilead was a city located in northern Gilead, in a section that was assigned to Manasseh (a son of Joseph, who was the son of Jacob). The Ammonites were a kindred race to the Moabites coming from the same ancestor, Lot. So they believed that a portion of their territory had been robbed from them by Israel & in the days of the Judges, they continually harrassed Israel, so Israel went to war with them. The Judge, Jephthah defeated them with a great slaughter ( Judges 11:4-13, 28-33).

So with this great defeat & disgrace in mind, & the prophet Samuel now ageing, Nahash of the Ammonites, thought to attempt to strike back again ( 1 Samuel 11:1). But this time, the men of Jabeshgilead weakened & desired to make a covenant with the Ammonites. The Ammonites would comply if they would first blind the right eyes of all the people, maybe as retribution for the previous slaughter. This proviso wouldn't do of course, so they sent for help & one Saul was moved with anger & then mustered up a great company of fighters. These men came to battle on the following day & slaughtered the Ammonites & those who escaped were very few ( 1 Samuel 11:11). And it was soon after this, that Saul was crowned king over Israel.

1 Samuel 9:15-17, 1 Samuel 12:18-25, 1 Samuel 13, 1 Samuel 16, 1 Samuel 17,

Hopefully these are helpful too.

Sonny In response to walking by the Spirit how long do you think a person can go with every action, thought, motive, be done out of pure love and you have answered your question, because pure love is the love of God. 1 Corinthians 13 It is known as Charity or the love of God in the renewed mind in manifestation. In His Service

Sonny schepers The whosever in 3:16 literally means everyone that believes jew or gentile i.e. anyone who believes, world is kosmos meaning arrangement or beauty so the world subject to Romans 8:22 All of creation was made subject to vanity will be delivered in the very end. Look at 3:17 For God sent not his son to condemn the world but that the world through him might be saved. It is Gods will to deliver not to condemn. Choice is you either believe or you don't. In His Service

Can a born-again Christian go an hour or day without sinning through the power of the Holy Spirit?

Who are the whosoever in John 3:16. And who is the world in John 3:16?

I appreciate this comment very much. God Bless you David! The more I walk with the Lord, I am aware of the daily deepening of the work of the Holy Spirit in all the hidden places of self in me. I choose the fire now rather than the fire then, he fire of the cleansing Spirit. I am being given to see the secret of the beauty of God's will. The term "God's will" used to be such a heavy hammer to me. I was still filled with love of the world and the love of self. Lately, the Spirit is driving home to me, the "heaviness" IS the world spirit, the heaviness IS sin, and death and deception, and the glorious brightness and freedom is GOD'S WILL, through Christ and him crucified... What a grand reversal is taking place on earth!!! and in each of our souls who turn to Jesus. Praise God, for the unspeakable grace of a simple day today loving and doing His will.

May we desire the holiness, integrity, and truth of God; and not just His daily benefits.

Let our walk in Christ draw others to the saving grace of the Lord Jesus.

Many will not read the Word of God; but let them see it in us, as believers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

God Bless everyone on this forum.

Comment: Sometimes you have to see a word in use (in the Bible) to see what it pertains to.

Vain has multiple uses.

Exodus 5:9

Let there more work be laid upon the men, that they may labour therein; and let them not regard vain words.

Leviticus 26:16

I also will do this unto you; I will even appoint over you terror, consumption, and the burning ague, that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it.

Leviticus 26:20

And your strength shall be spent in vain: for your land shall not yield her increase, neither shall the trees of the land yield their fruits.

Deuteronomy 5:11

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain: for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

Deuteronomy 32:47

For it is not a vain thing for you; because it is your life: and through this thing ye shall prolong your days in the land, whither ye go over Jordan to possess it.

And they gave him threescore and ten pieces of silver out of the house of Baalberith, wherewith Abimelech hired vain and light persons, which followed him.

Judges 11:3

Then Jephthah fled from his brethren, and dwelt in the land of Tob: and there were gathered vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him.

1 Samuel 12:21

And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain.

1 Samuel 25:21

Now David had said, Surely in vain have I kept all that this fellow hath in the

Read 1 Samuel 8 as they rejected the Lord as King and wanted a man.

See Deot 8, so asking for King to lead them is against God's will.

They was to obey God but they wanted a king like other nations. God gave them a king and all hell broke out.

If you go back to 1 Sam chapter 8, you will see that since prophet Samuel was getting old & his sons were a useless, evil pair, the people cried out to have a king rule over them, just the heathen nations had over them. Samuel warned them about this after consulting with God but the people wouldn't listen. And this displeased God as it showed that His people no longer wanted to put their trust in Him for their blessings & battles, but to have a human king to reign over them. And you've read about this in chapter 12 when Samuel rehearsed with them how God blessed His people when they followed Him but when they turned away, they suffered badly.

So, to prove to them that God was angry at them in asking for a king, Samuel asked God to show His Anger by sending thunder & rain during their wheat harvest, at a time when that type of weather would destroy their crops. After the rain came, they feared God & realized their foolish request for a king. Sometimes, God has to do this to us too, when we're too stubborn to do what He wants us to do, we feel the pain from His Hand. So Israel quickly changed their prayer for a king to a prayer that they themselves wouldn't be destroyed. But they did get Saul as king, but he was not God's chosen - you can read about that in the following chapters.

what do it mean

... years later, in 2019, most people of earth have the same mind-set and hard-heart identical to the people of this chapter ...thereby GOD wrath is upon many... never-the-less PRAISE GOD for another day of HIS Mercy which allowed someone time to be SAVED by applying John 3:16, and others is allowed time to repent of sinfulness, thereby we shall be at The Marriage Supper Of The LAMB Rev: 19:9 .

Israel wanted an earthly king like their neighbours.They did not realize they were God’s chosen “people”. That He modded them; He set them apart; He love them with an “everlasting” love. We are like them, today. We want to be like the world; God said, come out from among them and be ye separate, and touch not the unclean thing. We want to be in the world:to be contaminated: (serve God and mammon).

... years later, in 2018, we the people of earth have the same mind-set and hard-heart identical to the people of this chapter... thereby HIS wrath is long overdue... so Praise HIM for another day of HIS Mercy which allowed someone the time to have there name entered in the LAMB's BOOK Of LIFE (Rev: 21:27)... WOW! WOW! WOW!.

The Lord our God is the Lord and Shepherd of His flock. He that has lost his life for the Lord shall reap everlasting life. The sacrifice in this time is a broken heart and contrite spirit that the Lord so desires. A meek and quiet spirit are given to His people. The Lord knows those who are His. We must stay faithful, continue in the first works, and endure unto the end in all obedience.
Amen

You know its so easy to read these scriptures and say what THEY did wrong or should do and what WE should do,but do we remeber these things when we ourselves have went back and forth back and forth,do WE always stay on point and NEVER fall?,so who are we to judge,we are NOONE,we ALL have done what these people did on some level,question is how long will it take us to STAY w/ father I pray 4u n me.

The key message from Samuel to the Israelites in this chapter is "Only fear the LORD, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you." This message is true for us today and for all times. We must fear the Lord and serve Him in truth.

These verses highlight how much we should be giving Jehovah. We have to serve him with all of our heart. If we do so, then we won;t get distracted by empty things that can cause us to be separated from God's love. To nurture our love for God we need to study his word the Bible, and then apply what we learn in everyday life. Associating with those who share our same values can help.

What stood out to me was, Israel demand for a king was a sin, in that request they were replacing God who had been their TRUE KING. They were being reminded of Gods faithfulness to them and their forefathers and even though they got the king they asked for.. the king was not to take the place of God and they were being reminded to obey Gods voice and if they failed to do that the same things that happened to their forefathers would also happen to them and their new king if they turned away from God. The point of the message was to stay obedient and faithful to God.

Be truthful. faithful to all around you! If you decide to be a mean machine then time catches up with you and things sometimes happen to help you get back on the right track. You need to be a good person in order to really get help with water, lights, gas and more!

If we continue to obey God 's commandments, He will not abandon us. We may stumble , but if we try our best to serve him he will help us. He has set aside a people for his name, and for the sake of his name, and what his name means, become what he shall become, he will not leave us.

The Lord wants us to be men and women of integrity. We must speak the truth in Love, and make restitution to anyone we may have harmed. Our yay must be yay and our nay must be nay. Then we will hear well done good and faithful servant enter thou into the joy of the Lord.

1 Samuel 12 14,15 If ye will fear the LORD, and serve him, and obey his voice, and not rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall both ye and also the king that reigneth over you continue following the LORD your God But if ye will not obey the voice of the LORD, but rebel against the commandment of the LORD, then shall the hand of the LORD be against you, as it was against your fathers.

Good reminder! Sometimes we mess up horribly, however do not turn away from Jehovah. We actually need to draw closer to him. '

God expects from His people an unconditional, uncompetitive and unwavering trust, love and belief. Blessed is him whose trust is in the Lord not men.

ETHEL WARE COMMENTS 1samuel 12 16 God, show us all the time that he loves us ,in so many, many, ways and yet we still wants more, we gets so ahead of ourselves, and impatient, when we pray that we start to murmur , to complain. when we should be patient and wait on the Lord He know what is best for us, and when we need it. MY SISTERS AND BROTHERS IN THE LORD,DO NOT VEX THE SPIRIT OF GRACE.
