Please Lord help Pamela and her dad that are dealing with heath issues and anxiety. I pray in the name of Jesus Christ that Pamela has peace through the Holy Spirit guidance through prayer and the bible, her dad doesn't suffer as a personal relationship with You Lord Jesus.
Please consider reflecting on this Bible scriptures: Isaiah 41:10-13, Psalm 46:1, Psalm 139: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, John 16:33, Philippians 4:12-13, 2 Timothy 2:1.
Hi Ayen, I am grateful to hear from you. Please hang in there. You got a lot of great responses from Christian brothers and sisters wanting to help. Praying these lift you up.
"And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do." Luke 12:4 KJV
I think it means we don't have to be afraid of others. They don't control us.
Philippians 4:10-13 - Paul was in prison, beaten, had all kinds of hardship, people wanted to kill him, was hungry, he probably dealt with guilt from his past, he walked long distances and stayed in random places regularly. But (verse 11) he said he found the secret of being content. This means our external circumstances don't affect our emotional state of joy in the Lord or contentment as much as people commonly assume.
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV
This means to me that God is aware of our circumstance and won't let us be trapped in a situation of sin. We always have a way out.
One way to love and be fair to yourself is by challenging any negative ideas to see if they are based on truth or not. Not all thoughts are true and its ok to gently challenge them.
For example I used to think bad things about myself and the belief crippled me for some years, but I later discovered weren't true. It was liberating and felt free realizing this.
If you were to start this challenge I would start by re-examining statements you said like "I cannot get anywhere in life" or "GOD will not stop Satan's bchildren from stopping me" and ask for each: is that really true? Is there any evidence for this or what is this idea based on? Is it true for others? What if it isn't true? What is the evidence of it not being true?"
Please Lord bring peace, spiritual encouragement and direction as her family suffering in family conflict. Please Holy Spirit enrich her with Your spirit gifts to be a light of Jesus Christ in these family adversities I pray in the name of Jesus Christ!
Please reflect on John 16:33 and Philippians 4:12-13.
This portion of the chapter speaks to the Meat (meal) offering that the priests are to offer with the daily morning and evening burnt offering and peace offering. The priest is to take a handful of the fine flour and combine it with the oil and the frankincense to burn it with the sacrificial animal, with its fat. This will be a sweet and pleasing aroma to the LORD. It is said to be a memorial to the LORD. A memorial is something to be remembered. Perhaps the LORD wanted to the people to remember how He had delivered them from the bondage of slavery and also to realize that He has delivered them from the bondage of sin also through the forgiveness He gives through these offerings (which are a shadow of the sacrifice of Jesus). Perhaps the LORD wants His people to not be forgetful about being truly thankful to Him from their hearts for all He has done for them. We too, should be ever grateful to God for Jesus. We are to offer up holy hands with thanksgiving to God when we pray ( Philippians 4:6) We are told to not forget His benefits to us. This is the effect of having a sort of memorial. Partaking of Communion is such a memorial where we remember His body and blood that was shed for us for the forgiveness of sins. This memorial harkens back to this grain offering in this chapter of Leviticus.
Aaron and his sons are to use the remainder of the grain to make unleavened bread or wafers or cakes for their consumption. It is only to be consumed in the holy place, in the court of the tabernacle of meeting. Even this bread that the priests eat together is considered holy, not common. So the communal eating of it is an act of worship. Our taking of communion is to be eaten with other believers in a holy place as an act of worship. We should beware of partaking of communion in a flippant or insincere way. We are to discern the body and blood of Jesus, we should examine ourselves beforehand, confessing our sins, and honoring God as we partake.
If you would please pray for The LORD to help me through the trials and tribulations that I am going through (Psalm34:19-20, Psalm 3, Psalm 5, Psalm 18, Psalm 144) If you would pray that The LORD would protect and deliver me from The Devil and my enemies ( Psalm 35, Psalm 59, 2 Thess 3:2). Also that The LORD would fight them, and expose their schemes against me and bring them to nought ( Exodus 14:14, Psalm 24:8, Psalm 33:10). Please pray that The LORD provides for all of my spiritual and material needs ( Philippians 4:19). Also, please pray for healing for my backsliding, body, mind, soul and spirit ( Exodus 15:26, Hosea 14:1-4, Jeremiah 3:22) . Please pray that The LORD turns my life situation around like he did for Job ( Job 42:10, James 5:11). Thank you and God bless you ( Revelation 22:21).
i would advise you to go and pray ask God for you needs and trust in him
(AMP Philippians 4:6)
Do not be anxious or worried about anything, but in everything [every circumstance and situation] by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, continue to make your [specific] requests known to God.
This is one of the hardest things for man to grasp.
Christ is the body of his Father and his God. Christ said of myself I can do nothing, It is his Father, the life of Christ, that CAUSES Christ to do the Father's WILL.
When Christ was crucified he commended his LIFE back to his Father, and Christ's body died because the Life of the Father departed from it.
His BODY was all mankind, sinful flesh, it died, sinful flesh died on that cross, CHRIST'S body arose because the Father put his life back into Christ, all mankind arose, as a new creation, we are the body of Christ, Christ is the LIFE IN US, we do what the life of Christ CAUSES us to do.
Philippians 2:13 For it God (Christ in us) that worketh IN YOU both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.
Ezekiel 36:27 I will put my spirit within you, and CAUSE you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgements, and do them.
Jeremiah 51:20 Thou (my body) art my battle axe and weapons of war, for with thee (my body) will I break in pieces the nations, and with thee (my body) will I destroy the kingdoms.
Revelation 2:26 He that overcometh (deception) and keepeth MY WORKS unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations.
If you understand this, then Philippians 4:13-19 will make more sense to you.
In philippians 4:13 i have strength in jesus!!!! my questions is verses 19 god will supply all my needs do to his riches !!!!!!! is it okay to ask for good friendships and company an a loving helpful companionship in my sometimes overwhelming struggles !!!!! or maybe i need to leave as overall overwhelming powers as this is difficult so to distracted me from god's plan ?????? how am i to knowing ????? please please pray so that i may find the answer !!!! and possibly i had an didn't realize it !!!-????
All people are sinners, our righteousness is like filthy rags compared to God's. That is why we have been given the Blood of Jesus. And since our sins are erased by God (when we repent when we fail) we now look in His eyes as righteous. We are considered as righteous by Him now. So we don't please God with our own righteousness but with that which is given to us by Him (the Blood of Jesus Christ). One has to have this clear in their mind otherwise we will all end up with a guilty conscience, which is wrong So keep your way towards Heaven with joy, Jesus paid the penalty for our dins on the cross so that we have joy here and eternally in Heaven.
Philippians 4:4 "Rejoice in the Lord alway: and again I say, Rejoice"
See no matter what seasons I go through in life my natural emotions in the flesh must be reminded of my inherited Power in GOD. He is our my stabilizer. He is our my constant. GOD never changes and he provides hope and direction. Therefore, whatever I might face in life (the ups and the downs) I can endure all things because GOD is with me. And whenever you are with GOD the end of a thing is Victorious. So remember, we can go through life's challenging moments while passing through what GOD allows because it is safe passage to victory.

I am one of those newly born again Christian (just a baby Christian idiomatically speaking) and God has blessed me greatly. Today I want to help you also to the best that I can. I think your concern correlates to a very wonderful scripture in the Bible where it is obvious that Jesus really wants us to be specific in our prayers: see this verse:
Matthew 20:30-34 (KJV)
30 And behold , two blind mem sitting by the way side when they heard that Jesus passed by, cried out saying, Have mercy on us O, Lord, thou son of David.
31 And the multitude rebuked them
because they should hold their peace; but they cried the more, saying, Have mercy on us, O, Lord, thou son of David.
32 And Jesus stood still. and called them, and said, What will ye that I shall do unto you?
33 They say unto Him, Lord, that our eyes may be open
34 So Jesus had compassion on them, and touched their eyes: and immediately their eyes received sight, and they followed him.
I'll tell you: this week I have been desperately reaching out to Jesus in spirit, literally talking to him like a child to a father in my secret place , telling him everything ( what I feel, what I am worried about, what am anxious about, what I hate.. who I hate and then I repented... and so on.. I hide nothing because he knows my heart better than I. and I ask Him in detail all about this request.. to solve this problem that I thought almost insurmountable. HE JUST ANSWERED MY PRAYER LAST NIGHT. now I am so grateful and so free .. )
And also this verse I think will help : Philippians 4: 6-7
Please God enriched Cindy with comfort, peace and prosperity that she will be a testimony in and through this adversity. Please Holy Spirit guide her in biblical scriptures of encouragement, peace and to keep her eye's focus on You, The Divine God head I pray in the name of Jesus Christ!!
Please consider reflecting on: Psalms 91, Matthew 6:33-34, Philippians 4:12-13, 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, Psalms 55:22, Psalms 34 and Isaiah 41:10-13.
These are some great responses and I agree that Jesus is our peace. For me, peace is not a feeling but a person. And that person is Jesus Christ. I experience peace because I experience Christ in me. It's His peace. If I had to describe the peace I have in Christ, I would look at Romans 5:1-21, which talks about the privileges of justification.
Romans 5:1 starts out by saying, "Therefore being justified by faith." Even though the word "being" is in there which shows a condition or a state, literally in the Greek text it shows past tense. It is literally "After (having been) placed in a position of justification."
So now I've been justified. It's put in the past. It's a one-time thing, never to be taken back. So now after I have been justified by faith, there are seven things that are mine as an inheritance according to the next verses in Romans Chapter 5. The first thing listed is that I have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. The language indicates peace with Him because once I was at enmity with Him. I was once His enemy, but I now have peace with God.
That's is not a performance statement. It has nothing to do with my performance. It is a positional statement! My position with God is that I have peace with God. Now that does not mean that I always experience the peace of God. That's on an individual circumstance basis.
In Philippians 4:7, Paul says that once you surrender everything over to Christ, and you pray and give it all to Him, that the peace of God which passes all understanding shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. It is the peace "of" God.
So, I always have peace with God. I am never His enemy and He is never my enemy. That's positional! But to experience the peace of God comes when I trust Christ, like Abraham did by faith, I experience the peace of God.
I thank you for sharing your hardship & trusting us here with it.
I myself have suffered much as many of us have. I share scriptures in hopes to give you strength, help in endurance, encouragement.
Paul while suffering from being beaten, Colossians 2:11, Acts 22:25, stoned, 2Corinthians 11:25-27, in prisoned, 2Timothy 2:9-15, accused of sedition Acts 24:2,5,27, in context Acts 24, is this Paul who said I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me._. Philippians 4:12,13
Please Lord provide a home for Carolyn that she will protected and safe. Please open opportunities for her have assistance financially, emotionally and spiritually. Please Holy Spirit guide her in scripture to have peace and comfort knowing God will provide for her needs I pray in the name of Jesus Christ!!!
Please consider if you have a Bible to reflect on I Chronicles 4:9-10, Psalms 91, Psalms 46:1-2, Philippians 4:12-13, Psalms 34.
Keep your eyes on GOD our LORD & Savior! : Philippians 4:4, Philippians 4:6-8, Deuteronomy 11:18, (not anything else) Proverbs 3:13-26,

Lake Mead has dried maybe to expose the evils & cleanse it. Many have prayed for years for truth exposure & crimes solved. Didn't you know there are springs of water all around that area, even going into Death Valley? & a natural underground water Basin, that flows into parts of California. Trust GOD as we see HIM work out HIS mighty will. Stop looking to anything else as your sources. Also there are several methods of cleaning sea water into drinking water, even used in Space for Astronaut survival. Huntington Beach California wanted to implement during 2016-2018, but illegal immigrant votes in the area stopped the process with petition. Many also continued to waste water, disregarding most laws, opened my eyes to what "lawlessness" is. And lawless men & women in high positions, protecting their lawlessness. GOD is Faithful 1Thessalonians 5:15-24, pray & let GOD have HIS way, trust GOD for righteous discipline, HIS Justice, HIS righteous judgement & HIS faithful provisions. Romans 12:17-21, Psalms 78:20, Psalms 147:9, Matthew 6:8,9,10,11,12,13, for they know not what they do & that they trouble their own souls: Proverbs 11:17-19,
Please consider reflecting on this Bible scriptures: Isaiah 41:10-13, Psalm 46:1, Psalm 139: 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, John 16:33, Philippians 4:12-13, 2 Timothy 2:1.
"And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do." Luke 12:4 KJV
I think it means we don't have to be afraid of others. They don't control us.
Philippians 4:10-13 - Paul was in prison, beaten, had all kinds of hardship, people wanted to kill him, was hungry, he probably dealt with guilt from his past, he walked long distances and stayed in random places regularly. But (verse 11) he said he found the secret of being content. This means our external circumstances don't affect our emotional state of joy in the Lord or contentment as much as people commonly assume.
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." 1 Corinthians 10:13 KJV
This means to me that God is aware of our circumstance and won't let us be trapped in a situation of sin. We always have a way out.
One way to love and be fair to yourself is by challenging any negative ideas to see if they are based on truth or not. Not all thoughts are true and its ok to gently challenge them.
For example I used to think bad things about myself and the belief crippled me for some years, but I later discovered weren't true. It was liberating and felt free realizing this.
If you were to start this challenge I would start by re-examining statements you said like "I cannot get anywhere in life" or "GOD will not stop Satan's bchildren from stopping me" and ask for each: is that really true? Is there any evidence for this or what is this idea based on? Is it true for others? What if it isn't true? What is the evidence of it not being true?"
Please reflect on John 16:33 and Philippians 4:12-13.

Please consider reading and reflection on 1 Chronicles 4:9-10, Matthew 6:33-34, Philippians 4:12-13, and Psalms 37.
There are many things said about wrath, Judgement, GOD's Judgement,

additional scripture to think on, Psalms 37, Romans 8,
Mark 13, Matthew 24, 2Thessalonians 2:2,3, 2Thessalonians 2,
Sometimes there's judgement of GOD of individuals, 2Samuel 12:7-16, of Nations, Malachi 3:5,

Trust GOD!
Lake Mead has dried maybe to expose the evils & cleanse it. Many have prayed for years for truth exposure & crimes solved. Didn't you know there are springs of water all around that area, even going into Death Valley? & a natural underground water Basin, that flows into parts of California. Trust GOD as we see HIM work out HIS mighty will. Stop looking to anything else as your sources. Also there are several methods of cleaning sea water into drinking water, even used in Space for Astronaut survival. Huntington Beach California wanted to implement during 2016-2018, but illegal immigrant votes in the area stopped the process with petition. Many also continued to waste water, disregarding most laws, opened my eyes to what "lawlessness" is. And lawless men & women in high positions, protecting their lawlessness. GOD is Faithful 1Thessalonians 5:15-24, pray & let GOD have HIS way, trust GOD for righteous discipline, HIS Justice, HIS righteous judgement & HIS faithful provisions. Romans 12:17-21, Psalms 78:20, Psalms 147:9, Matthew 6:8,9,10,11,12,13, for they know not what they do & that they trouble their own souls: Proverbs 11:17-19,
Hopefully these are helpful & encouraging
