As I can only really give you a simple answers to that question and how my journey started with the Lord.
Reading the Holy Bible is very much our food. I guess I would just say stay focused on reading your Bible and begin to pray to God normally. The closer you draw to God the closer He will draw to you.
I pray your faith and relations with Jesus Christ our Lord and our Father in Heaven grows fruitfully.
Blessed are those who are abiding GODs Law. what ever he does for Gods Glory will bear fruit like the tree in the river bank that bears fruit in ''his Season''. I ask why in His season?His season for God knows the desire of our hearts. God teaches us to wait and be righteous , be still. He may not give us immediate results but never fail us. Remember never rely of our own good works. Gods word is consistent he never fails us nor His promises. and what ever the righteous does it will proper according to gods perfect time.
4- The ungodly are ''not so'' it doesn't says ''are not'' alone. This only means God never closes doors for us sinners or those who haven't meet Jesus yet. Remember God hates sin but loves the sinners. They (ungodly) maybe easily be driven away like the wind But God still gives room for them. Forgiveness..
we all fall short in the glory of God. we are not to Judge others nor condemn.
God knows all of us...all our ways.
6- The way to ungodly will perish. God gives room for the sinners. Forgiveness is what He is giving us.
Our God is the God of all fairness.
God love and bless the righteous.
God love the Holy.
God loves the doer of His Word
God loves all of us even the sinners and he is calling us to come to Him.
This is How Great His love is.
God is the God of second chances. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
Dear Patrice Rolle ,you are so right ,its some times hard to live in this awful world ,every where there is injustice and extreme cruelty and cold heartedness ,i try to toughen myself up but its not easy ,i have convinced myself that im too sensitive and that its my own fault for expecting better from people ,its easy to ignore the cold hearted atheists , they are not even on my radar and dont have any power to hurt my feelings any more ,but a wound from a fellow Christian can cut very deep i try to remember that we dont really know each other ,we have no idea where each other is coming from or what each other has or is going through in their lives and hearts and minds ,for me the rule is very simple ,try to treat others as you would like them to treat you i didnt come up with that myself as im sure you already know ,stay strong and be happy in Christ .Oh ,and i have to confess that i have broken that rule .
praying for others as well as my self. This is the last and evil days. And people are so untrue and unkind to each. not even in some churches and countries around the world.
Gregory, may the Spirit grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.
2 Samuel 23:1-2 Now these be the last words of David. David the son of Jesse said, and the man who was raised up on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the sweet psalmist of Israel, said,
(vs 2) The Spirit of the Lord spake by me, and his word was in my tongue.
Yes, Jesus is the one speaking in Psalms as also in all other scriptures; sometime to the Father sometime to us. Be sure you keep the pronouns in the proper order. The word of God will take on a whole new meaning as you study these prophecies and their relationship to you, the Father and the Son.
These scriptures do show the Godhead speaking amongst themselves. Before and after the Cross.
The Scriptures about the Godhead. Sometimes called "Let Us..." in some passages. These scriptures are evidence of all 3 persons of the Godhead speaking to each other.
Are you thinking of 'abuse' in general terms, as the various types of abuse (physical, sexual, emotional or verbal) may require different responses & handling?
In the worst cases of abuse, the matter has to become a civil one, as it requires the law to deal with the crime. It is insufficient to think & presume that such matters are to be kept 'in-house' & dealt only by the clergy. An independent legal body is required to ascertain the crime, who receives the blame, & the punishment meted out.
But if the person in a Church Fellowship is suffering some sort of victimization, estrangement, or even harsh words, I would think that the biblical response would be, to first raise the matter with the person(s) & if no head way is gained, bring it to the notice of the Pastor & Elders ( Matthew 18:15-17). If they are true to their faith & position in the Church, they will deal with it speedily or if necessary, alert the Church about this type of behaviour & to shun it altogether.
In any case, believers ought to seek out a Fellowship where God & the Lord Jesus are truly honoured & worshipped by the study of the Word & that good, correct Church behaviour & discipline are adhered to. For those who are new to an area of the city, some Church-hopping may be required until a suitable place is found, but when unchecked misbehaviour goes on in a Fellowship, one has every right to leave.
Comments about 2 creations there is another creation coming when the sower of the good seed will sow his precious seed in humanity initiating a birth of Christ in us ( our new birth ) David spoke of a creation coming saying they will come and BE BORN ( IN US )and declear his generation . And Isaiah spoke of Rachels getting her children back saying refrain thy voice from weeping for your CHILDREN will come again,This is the Israel of God which are spirits the H.G plural that are gona be as the stars of heaven the Children of Promise that are gonna be born in us sinners via that heavenly seed the living word . Thats y Jesus spoke of the babes and sucklings they are SPIRITS that are gona be born in us via that good seed . When God made that heavenly Promise that CHRIST wd be multiplied as the stars of heaven ,Thats a heavenly creation , That ppl that David said wd come and be born and declear his Generation, thats the Israel of God that are gonna result from the seed of Christ sown in mans hearts ,i.e our fruit unto God . Rachel is gonna get her Children back which are the Children of Promise the H.G plural . Rachel is the world, her children are the Israel of God Spirits. k later
Alex comments about Gen. 3 : 20 When God told Eve that she wd be the Mother of ALL LIVING that kills any 2 creations theory. And by the disobedience of 1 man sin entered the world. ( 1 man ) Adam. And Death was passed on to ALL MEN. PERIOD.
I read earlier a reader seemed to be offensive towards the sight, THIS IS A GREAT SIGHT for ministering to one another. racism is just one way the world is partial, it always have been and it want change. it gets its DNA from Satan. It's the darkness it resides in, and it expresses it without apology. a prideful heart has always caused division, this evil has been expressed from the beginning of man kind, It seems the person was attacking Christians in associating it with the the trouble here in America. Racism is not root of the problem we have here in America and any other nation, it is the result of a bigger problem that the world has had from the beginning. If a nation only had one race in its borders I supposed there will be no sin and God would have called off his redemption plan. Everyone had a natural birth which is tied to a specific geographic location where there is a heritage we hold to, and it being a part of Gods creation which groans to be delivered from the bondage of corruption Paul speaks of in Romans 8. Abraham called out of UR wasn't just leaving a land behind, it was a picture of being called out of the World. he pitched tents from then on looking for a land made without hands, so should we. (We are strangers and pilgrims. " 1 peter 2:11") ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him that called you out of darkness into his marvellous light. THANK YOU
S Spencer On the importance of the understanding of the true vine on Psalms 1 - 3 years ago
JOHN 15:1 Jesus says I am the "true" vine. When we think of a vine here's what we must consider; The vine sharing a common life source with the branches, The dependency of the branches on that vine, and the fact that the branches bare fruit, that's why they're there. Here is a few other verses using the idiom the vine. Psalms 80:8-9. "Israel called a vine brought out of Egypt". Isaiah 5:1-7. Jeremiah 2:21, "Israel called a degenerate vine". Hosea 10:1, "an empty vine". I believe this meant to contrast Israel mission as the vine, "HOWEVER there mission is not over" but i want to put our focus on the True vine and the difference between the two. Here is what's important and should'nt be overlooked, Israel was able to show the world then and now the Law which was holy even when executed could never change the heart of man. That's what the study of Hebrews is about. Especially Hebrews 10:16, the Lord says; I WILL PUT MY LAWS INTO THEIR HEARTS. This is where the ministry of Holy spirit comes in. without him we can do nothing, you are the branches, examine your fruit. it should be wrapped in Love, not outwardly first but inwardly then expressed outwardly. That's how the Lord is forming his church to shine light on a dark world, including our nation. No man that warreth entangleth himself with the affairs of this life; that he may please him who hath chosen him to be a soldier. 2 Tim.2:4. and this is the spirit that should reside in you now. it want be born in you later as some say. THANK YOU
The signs of the end of the age as we know it is already happening now. ( Matt 24:3). The next thing that will happen is the revealing of the Antichrist-which is a physical person- and very soon after that the Rapture takes place( Matt 24:40-42)(1 Thes4:16;17). When this will take place no-one knows except God The Father (Not even Jesus). We are very close to this happening. But don't try and calculate when this will happen, concentrate on preparing yourself to be in the rapture, not all Christians qualify for the rapture, only those that have overcome the flesh and their carnal nature. Once the Antichrist takes over then the first half of the tribulation starts. This lasts 3.5 yrs ( Rev 5). The rapture is not the 2nd coming of Christ. The end of the age has been prophesied for over 2000 yrs but I think that we are fairly close. We shouldn't focus on when, when, when is the end but rather on staying close to Jesus now and let Him prepare us to be like him ( 2 Tim 3:16,17) We should always keep more than enough oil in our lamps as the 5 wise virgins did. Don't be concerned about the world. I know it's scary but there's nothing we can do about that, prepare yourself for Jesus. We are only in control of our own spiritual life, no-one else's. And of course, keep praying!
I have seen some mistakes in the margin, that are quoting the wrong scripture! I fear this could be an infection on this site. The bible says be careful for nothing , always abounding in the Lord!
yes there is, in fact Jesus talked more about hell than anyone else, the following is a sample of a few references that Jesus cited, but as you read through the nt from the gospels to the book of revelations you will find many more.
Matthew 5:29 "And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Matthew Chapter 10:28, And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew Chapter 23:33 [Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
2 Peter Chapter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast [them] down to hell, and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth [person], a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
After the Judgment those whose names are not found written in the Lamb's book of life will be cast into the lake of fire. Read Revelation 20. Read Revelation 21 to see what those whose names are written in the Lamb's book of life will enjoy.

Next - the revealing of the Antichrist
Next is - The rapture. Could be instantaneous, could take a while -God only knows
Next is - The tribulation - first 3.5 yrs only. Antichrist will rule in Jerusalem in this period
Then comes - Jesus second coming
Next is - The millenial reign - 1000 yrs.
Next comes - The final 3.5 year tribulation when Satan will be loosed again
Lastly - The perfect age which lasts for eternity
