Gen.9.1 "God blessed them" (2 of 2)

"And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth."

'God blessed them,'- once is good enough for God, is it not? He is the Word was God.'

Compare the v.1 with the wording in the everlasting Covenant."And God blessed them, saying, Be fruitful, and multiply,..." (Gen.1.22) The Ark represents the world framed by the word of God while the old world, the physical world because of the corruption died. Nothing that blessed is ever lost because Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever.' Here It is God the Son who is blessing them. Thus the entire narrative is set forth from two POV of the Father Son relationship To borrow a term from cinematography 'shot/reverse shot' editing as done by the Holy Spirit. 'These three agree in one.

This shifting of POV also shall help us why four gospels are canonical and others are spurious. It is God breathed and the gospel writers served as amanuensis, that is also. This writer foolishly set about writing the anonymous years of Jesus in a diary format, long ago but gave up God blessed us so every believer who enters therein the Covenant enters into the life of his Son. In himwas life the light of men. Ask ourselves why so much of heresies? Reading literalism alone does not do so much harm as reading from the POV of Satan does it. In my mother tongue there is a saying wherever sinner enters it is sure going to be hell. This is surely seen in the mass human migration as we shall see from Ch.11 onwards explaining why Age of exploration and to the New World failed them. The tower of Babel sets the shot and we have the reverse shot in the Vision of the Flying Ephah (Zec.5.5-11)

Can anyone seen a nation prospering on the violence and wanton cruelty? Spain for example for god, glory and gold did and do you see it? God shall not be insulted as the nation may be fooled by bramble as in the Jotham's fable.

Hi BennymkjeI.

I made an error on my reply. Where it says "BennymkjeI believe there is nothing that God doesn't know ect ect ect...

It should read "I" believe there is nothing that God doesn't know,

God is not confined by time!

EVERY act of God is done by his foreknowledge so I describe him as wise!

God presented his love for all humanity before the world begun.

Blessings.

Perhaps you need to slow down a bit, migraines, and several others flare up, and a defence mechanism of the body. He that has begun a good work never stops with half measures. My prayers go with you. GBU

Gen.9.1 "God Blessed them" (1 of 2)

"And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth."

Would God in his wisdom and power having created the worlds by his word forget? The word never stops since it is the living world and in fulness of time shall become the Word become flesh, qhile the Word was with God ensures the Law of the Spirit hold Covenant inviolate. Oh no, literalism of carnal mind as false teachers muddied the water of the pure river of life has caused a controversy, that is all.

The Spirit now continues with the narrative by which we look at the Covenant which is everlasting. So in the many sevens we come across here we are to see their place is that of markers.

In 8.5 we read the tops of the mountains were seen. The Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. Jesus Christ the fulfilling part of the unseen world consequently begins with them, "And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, were the tops of the mountains seen." First day, here regard well, the same first day mentioned in Gen 1.5. Only we are looking at the everlasting Covenant from the POV of man created 'after our image and after our likeness. Noah's point of view is the view of the creature. Male and female he created them. House of Noah consisted of eight souls.

8.5-6 "And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, ..."

What is the significance of the number 10? It is the number of condemnation placed by the Spirit. It refers the law of sin and death. "By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith."(Heb.11.7)

The word is tagged by Command number Four so 4x10 as mentioned in v.6 "And it came to pass at the end of forty days, ..."

Dear Veronica, I will pray for you children. My three sons, also, have walked away from the Lord they once trusted. I do believe that the Lord will lead them back to Him as He does direct our steps. It hurts me deeply to see them as they are now,, but I have hope in God. I appreciate your prayers for them. May God bring them all, yours and mine, back home to Him soon.

Thanks, Bennymkje

I know that God gives ear to our prayers. Doing a bit better this morning than yesterday. Still need to take it easy turning my heard. Ice packs are helping and the meds the Doctor prescribed help a lot, too. I just remember that "this, too, will pass in time."

May thanks, S. Spencer,

I always appreciate you.

Thanks again for responding Bennymkje.

S Spenser, greetings,

Let brotherly love continue, means pointing out warning sign, 'danger ahead'. Darkness and light are alike to God. But does not imply God will set out place bread one wholesome and the other bad knowing Adam shall eat either one. He places nothing but wholesome for him to eat. In his infinite wisdom he saw Adam should choose as wisely as his Son. It is obedience arising from faith, the same DNA as in his Son.

Hi Bennymkje

The answer to your question is in that thread to the original posting.

The Lord Jesus was ordained to come into the world as the lamb of God that takes away the sins of the world (Adam's offense) AND TO REDEEM THAT WHICH WAS LOST before the world begun.

1 Peter 1:19-20.

Ephesians 1:4.

BennymkjeI believe there is nothing that God doesn't know,

God is not confined by time!

Thanks for responding.

Goodmorning Gigi.

I will certainly join you in prayer.

Blessings!

Gen.8.1 "Days"

First we shall consider two timelines: "In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened."(7.11) Here The saying of Jesus is borne correct. "My Father worketh hitherto, and I work." God opens the windows of heaven while it is not the mist but a cataclysmic action, 'smashing down the storehouses of the deep' (2.6) Second timeline is v.4. "And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat." By the reckoning 150 days lapsed before touching the mount Ararat." and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark./And the waters prevailed upon the earth an hundred and fifty days."

What does the number 150 signify? 50x3=150 Here the Spirit is setting the witness of heaven and the earth on record. 1 John 5.7-8 says all three agree in one" "the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one."Similarly on earth. Jesus Christ is the Amen holding both one in his person. "the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;"(Rev.3.14) When God breathed into man God instilled the knowledge of his Son into him. So Noah kept His creation safe or rather they put their souls in his safe keeping, so we may ask with St Paul, " Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?" We are overcomers through him.(Rom.8.35-39)

We have two sets of 150 days which tells entering into the rest of God applies our lives from both worlds where faith with works is not merely lip service as imposter churches observe, so' once saved is always saved' is their mantra. Whatever we do we shall do as Christ in us did.

Hi GiGi.

Sorry to hear you are having health issues. I am praying that God ease your pain as he deliver you from all fear and doubt that challenge your faith.

God is a healer. Keep TRUSTING in him.

May God keep your MIND sound

Your SOUL safe and

Your BODY strong.

In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

S Spenser,

What do you know of the mind of God? You write,"The only thing you and I agree on is God knew Adam and Eve would eat of the tree of Knowledge." Wrong.

God gave them free will. God brought His creation before Adam. " and whatsoever Adam called every living creature, that was the name thereof." (Gen.2.19). What name he chose was the name. God made him a living soul and not a living fool as you making God out to be. He has book of life and he lets his Son his choice too. Thus it is called the book of life and of the Lamb.

Gen.8.4 "Rest of God"

" And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, upon the mountains of Ararat."

We have the wandering of the Israelites through the wilderness which explains we are sojourners and pilgrims on earth while we have a similar movement in the World of the Spirit.The Holy Spirit exhorts us to abide in Christ who lives in us by faith. So as St Paul says,"For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life."(2 Cor.5.4). In our vile bodies how do we walk? Like the Israelites, the fleshpots of Egypt possessing every waking hour, "We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlick:/But now our soul is dried away" How do you think these false shepherds of our times keep their souls with all their a-lusting over activism and prosperity?

We ought to walk by faith and not by sight. We see it already those who rooted for their great White Hope in red MAGA caps is proving to be, not even a red rooster but a wet hen, the TACO king in diapers. Satan deceives believers whose heart is not steadfast, and the nation hasn't seen as yet what God has set up. We are not to perish with them. "But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."( 1 Cor 2.9)

I am Johnny-come-lately here and am sorry to hear your debilitating pain. May God heal you right now. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen

Hi thanks for your post . Not offended at all for I understand how misunderstandings can occur in this format and while my post may seem like I was offended somehow it was more surprise than offence .

I do think however that there is a lot of spurious 'salvation' messages around that do not convey the Holiness of God and the awfulness of sin (see Romans) which is why I recommended a goid biography of J Bunyan who's struggles prior to his conversion were immense . But look at the result once converted!

Then take Peter the Apostle his journey was not an easy one either .

So don't worry I'm not so easily offended and shouid we not in any case be patient with each other and seek to edify one another rather than get all heated about things?

Thank you, Jesse

I appreciate your compassion and commitment to pray for me and others. I finally was able to eat something tonight without b being nauseous.

I am thankful for the community that has grown on this site. As someone who is pretty much a homebody, it is good to have a good relationship with others here who take our fellowship seriously. I have a handful of longtime friends that I see over the year and family as well. Keeping up on the needs of those in our church, which is mostly very elderly people, is a pleasure.

GiGi,

It's never a good feeling when a brother or sister in Christ is going through pain or hardship. I will definitely lift you up to the Lord in prayer. Hang in there!

Thank you Chris,

Yes, I am doing all the things you mention. The area is still painful and very tender but I am able to do some simple massage on it using a flexible ice pack.

Thank for being a faithful ad caring friend, praying for me whenever I request.

Hoping that I will get relief from pain soon.

Will keep you in prayer Gigi. I had to look up the information for occipital neuralgia & it sounds very painful and debilitating. Massage, muscle relaxing actions, even a cold or hot compress seem to help. You no doubt have already tried these other options and to have it appear again after so long, must be so frustrating. May the Lord touch this part of your body with His healing Hands and help you in preparation for Rosie's party.

Hello dear ones in Christ,

I request prayers for myself today. This morning I woke up at 5:45 with a really painful neckache behind my right ear and lower base of my skull. I took two Aleve and a muscle relaxer but to no avail. The pain worsened over the next 1/2 hour even with ice application. My husband took me to Urgent Care when they opened. I did get a double dose of pain medication that brought the pain level down from an 8 to about a 4. I have been resting most of the afternoon, taking Tylenol and pai meds and applying ice packs. The pain is still remains where it was when I left the clinic.

Please pray for this pain to go away soon. We have a birthday party for little Rosie on Sunday afternoon and we need to get things ready for this over the next few days. I want to be able to help without making the pain get worse or come back.

It has been 10 years since i had my last bought of this-occipital neuralgia. It was difficult to resolve, persisting for several weeks.

I truly do appreciate the prayers of anyone who will pray for me. May you be very blessed.

Hi "Gerald" I'm sorry to have offended you, What you write is true. And you've posted a lot here now. So I don't know where the thread is. But I was thinking about those who haven't met the Lord yet. And problems with the internet yesterday made me respond completely out of the blue. In fact, the post kept coming to someone who wanted intercession.

What I understood was that it was simple: For some it's not easy, if they try in every way and get in touch. I read your post and understood it this way, unfortunately. It was those on the sidelines that I was thinking of in connection with the outrage. Because my faith always makes me believe that God will accept everyone, small and great. The only ones we know it can be difficult for are those who are really rich in wealth, as Jesus says. He knows all heart. Stay close, and Love and peace. 1 Joh 14:13-14

Dear FREE,

Over the last 3 1/2 years I have written many prayers which included "in Jesus' name" or a similar phrase.

I do believe that when we pray we are praying to the Triune God of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and-because of their unity, if you pray to one of the three persons, you are actually praying to all three. God is one Being in three Persons, so, our prayers are heard and answered by God no matter whom of the Three we address. And, in my private prayers, I often come to before God in the name of Jesus because, as my Lord, Savior and King, He stands with us before the Father in our praying.

I am aware that Jesus instructed us to ask of the Father in His name, but also instructed us to pray to the Father.

With this said, I am surprised that you would question me this way. To me, it seems that you are implying that a prayer is not valid before God if it is not offered in Jesus' name. If this were so, none of the prayers of the OT saints would be acceptable. Yet God did hear and answer such prayers as with Hannah, David, and a multitude more.

I believe that Jesus' statement about praying in His name is that when we pray, we are to believe that we can only come before the Father if we are in Jesus.

So, let's move on from this and not evaluate one another on our prayers that we offer to our God who is greater than our strength or weaknesses.

Hello Kristina,

Bathing your idea in prayer, not only your own prayers, but others is vital for you to be shown correct discernment as God's lead.

I will pray for you.

Also, if you will be publishing your journals, I would suggest that you remove any actual names that can identify anyone you are writing about. Substituting an alias in place of these names is acceptable. Journals often reflect our vulnerabilities, weaknesses, doubts, and very personal aspects of our character. Therefore, not in order to hide yourself, to be sure that you are conveying your thoughts the way God wishes you to-honoring Him in every way, having Him be glorified throughout, and showing a sense of true gratitude towards Him, and being honest are important. It is fine to do some revisions, most authors do editing and re-phrasing to make the ideas more clear and true to what your thinking was when you wrote it the first time. God is in these details as well.

Again, I will be praying for you. This is a big endeavor and it may prove to be helpful to others. I hope so.

Discernment

( 1 Chronicles 12:24-32)

The Word tells us:

From the tribe of Judah, there were 6,800 warriors,

armed with shields and spears.

From the tribe of Simeon, 7,100 brave warriors

prepared for battle.

From the tribe of Levi, 4,600 warriors,

including Jehoiada, a leader of Aaron's family,

with men under his command.

Zadok, a young and brave warrior,

was also counted, along with the officers

and members of his family.

From the tribe of Benjamin, Saul's own relatives,

there were 3,000 warriors.

Up to that time, most of the men from Benjamin

had remained loyal to Saul.

Part - 5

The truth is, we do not need to chase after anyone

or seek revenge against anyone,

because God's timing will come-

and nothing can stop His plans from being fulfilled.

Not Vindictive

Precise and Punctual

The women God is raising up are precise and punctual.

But I'm ready

We are elite sharpshooters,

armed with a word of truth and clarity.

We belong to a tactical unit marked by its accuracy.

While an "army or a battalion" is made up of many,

sharpshooters are fewer in number. Yet they are forged to operate with high precision- trained for tense situations,

bringing clarity in the midst of confusion. (Salmo 122:6).

Part - 4

Searchable

Many people seek Jesus looking for healing,

but they don't desire to walk with Him.

They seek only the blessings, not intimacy.

However, there are those who go far beyond seeking a blessing-

they have a heart that longs for more.

These are people who not only want to be blessed

but also desire to fulfill a purpose in God's presence.

Loving God when everything is going well is easy.

But true love is revealed in difficulty.

Our love for God is tested through trials, afflictions,

and moments when not only the sincerity of our faith is proven,

but our hearts are tested as well.

The heart is a land to be searched.

Just as the psalmists prayed, we must constantly pray

that the Lord would search our inner being-

not because He doesn't know it,

but because we need to come to know ourselves.

The Psalm says:

"Search me, O God, and know my heart;

test me and know my anxious thoughts.

See if there is any offensive way in me,

and lead me in the way everlasting." ( Psalm 139:23-24)

Only God is able to search the hidden corners of our hearts

that we ourselves do not yet know.

Only He can uncover areas of our character

and invite us into a place of transformation.

Only the Lord can look into all that is hidden within us-

and still love us, not give up on us,

and work to reconnect us to His good purpose.

We women whom God is raising up in this time

are women who are searchable.

That is, we are known by God.

Perhaps you've witnessed the frantic pursuit of women

after human recognition.

Yet, we must not seek to be accepted by society

or recognized by the world.

Our true goal must be this:

to be known by God and approved by Him.

We are furbo. Hallelujah!
