Dear knowing our authority,

I just have a few questions for you. First of all, in Luke 10:19, the word hurt is the word injustice, not hurt as in physical harm. In Luke 9:1-2, we see that Jesus called His twelve disciples and gave (them) power and authority, and power to heal the sick. Does it say anywhere else that He gave the same power to all believers?

In Mark 16:17, are the "them" and "they" not the twelve? Because we are told in Hebrews 2:2 that when the apostles went out and preached, that there were signs that followed in order to establish the apostles preaching as the gospel of God. Isn't that what he is saying in Mark 16:17?

Last question is where you say that this power and authority only works if we believe in faith. Are you saying that if a believer commands in faith through Christ, and something does not happen, that the believer is the blame because he/she lacks faith? If so, that is not biblical. There is no such thing as a believer who is born of God's Spirit lacking faith when we fully understand the true definition of faith. No such thing!

The Jew's that live in Israel have no claim to the land whatsoever, and will be evicted with violence.

The return of the "Jew's" is complete, how many more do you want? However, these Jew's have nothing to do with Abraham, Issac and Jacob. They are frauds, converts of Japheth, fooling the world. I am looking forward to the eventual Khazar impostors downfall. Those who are not Jew's, who are supplanters of Judah, will be invaded and run off that land with their bare buttocks showing on the way out. That is what every prophet saw and wrote about, yet Christian's believe what they want to believe because religion is a ticket to act crazy. Were the prophets lying about ( Luke 21:20-24), and are you as informed as them? Oh how dare God defeat America and Israel!!! God despises them which you support.

The only thing preventing this attack is time. When the sixth trumpet blows, there will be a shaking in the land of Israel, the earth will open up and the impostors will be carried off into captivity. You didn't think God would allow these frauds, along with their partner, America, to gain protection because of the land they squat on? God hates Babylon and will destroy what you wrongfully defend. Coming out of her ( Revelation 18:4) means just that, it doesn't mean to defend her as you constantly do. See it for what it is not what you want it to be. The fake Jews of Japheth will be dealt with per prophesy, and with collar and chain.

Thank you, Jesse, what a beautiful blessing, it gave me joy, glory to the Lord!

S Spencer,

The scary part is how do we know? I mean, these people look and act sincere, so it would be easy for someone who just shows up to church every week but never takes the time to search the scriptures on their own to see if what they are being taught is the truth from God's word. As far as knowing them by their fruit, it looks good to them. But it is such a blessing when the Lord gives us a spirit of discernment to where we can recognize when it's time to "get out of dodge!"

Dgjot ,dead in their sins , not interested in the truth or the light . This is the state of all none Christians ,unclean unbaptised and uninterested in the Eternal Truth .

I use TecartaBible as well. It's a great app. I use their CSB study Bible a lot. YouVersion is an excellent free app.

Lauren,

May the Lord bless you also, which He does, and continues to do so with each and every one of us who love Him, who know Him, but most importantly are known by Him. All glory to Christ our Savior!

Mishael,

( Revelation 11:19) It is important to understand the time frame and steps taken to place the ark in heaven. The ark didn't just show up in heaven, it had to be transported in its time. This arrangement happens after the mystery of God is revealed.

Knowing our authority

To pray for our loved ones we need to come against the enemy and pray that they would receive the truth. To come against the enemy, we need to first know what our power and authority is in Jesus.

Behold, I give unto you authority to tread over ALL the power of the enemy; and nothing shall by any means hurt you ( Luke 10:19). Authority is delegated power.

Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases. And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick ( Luke 9:1, 2).

For the Son of Man is as a man taking a far journey, who left his house, and gave authority to his servants ( Mark 13:34).

In my name shall they cast out devils ( Mark 16:17).

What power and authority do these four verses say that Christ gave us? He gave us "All power and authority" over the enemy. Christ has given us His power and authority over Satan and his kingdom. However, it only works if we believe in faith and command in faith through Christ. When we come against Satan in faith, in the name of Jesus, Satan must obey. If you do not believe, if you have little faith, Satan knows, and will not listen to you. While Satan may not obey us, he must obey the authority of Jesus that we have been given and that we are operating in.

And who are we that Christ should give us such authority? you are a son (daughter); and since you are a son, God has made you also an heir ( Gal 4:7).

Comment: it is the authority Christ imparted to us, that we use to subdue enemies and cast their invisible selves into dry places of outer darkness. Never to return! Ephesians 6.

The interesting part of that verse, is: God gave them dominion over what he outlined. He did Not give him dominion over other humans.

God created, garnished and filled the Garden. Their task was to tend to replacing what was being used. They would have children eventually.

I was curious how they learned to make fire so they could cook and make materials for a house?

Johnson Matandi,

If you have an i-phone, you can go to the app store and get several free bibles to put on your phone. Many of them even have extras. A few that I have on my phone and that I would recommend are the Blue Letter Bible, Bible Hub, Tecarta Bible, Scripture Direct, Logos Bible, and the Study Bible by John MacArthur. There are others too that are free but you would have to search for the one's that fit your needs. And since most of us carry a phone with us all the time, we always have access to a bible, whether we are on or off line.

Jesse, I also appreciate this response. Thank you, God Bless...

Brother David, may CHRIST IN US grace us with HIS wisdom and HIS understanding.

There is MORE TRUTH than asking God to help you choose to do what glorifies Him. The Spirit CAUSES you to ask.

You DIED on the cross with Christ, you were RAISED a new creation; IN CHRIST, at His Resurrection.

Jesus is now living his LIFE in you, CAUSING you to continue being created in HIS IMAGE.

Ezekiel 36:24 And I WILL take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all the countries, and will bring you into your own land.

Ezekiel 36:25 Then WILL I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye SHALL BE CLEAN: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, WILL I cleanse you.

Ezekiel 36:26 A new heart also WILL I GIVE you, and a new spirit WILL I PUT within you: and I WILL TAKE AWAY the stony heart out of your flesh, and I WILL GIVE you and heart of flesh.

Ezekiel 36:27 And I WILL PUT my spirit WITHIN YOU, and CAUSE YOU to walk in my statues, and ye shall keep my judgements, AND DO THEM.

Philippians 2:13 For it is God that WORKETH IN YOU both to WILL and TO DO of his good pleasure.

Ephesians 1:5 ....according to the good pleasure of HIS WILL..

Ephesians 1:11 In whom we have obtained an inheritance (sons of God), being predestinated according to the PURPOSE OF HIM who WORKETH all things after the counsel of HIS WILL.

Philippians 1:29 For unto you it is GIVEN in the behalf of Christ, not only TO BELIEVE ON HIM, but also to suffer for him.

Of ourselves we can do NOTHING.

1 John 3:9 Whosoever is born of God doeth NOT COMMIT SIN (because Christ is doing EVERYTHING) (we SIN because we try to put OUR WORKS with this TRUTH); for his seed remaineth in him; and he cannot sin because he is born of God.

This is why Jesus never SINNED. He walked in the TRUTH that the Father did all things FOR HIM.

John 8:28 ...and that I do nothing of myself...

John 5:30 I can of myself do nothing ....

John 3:27 ...A man receive nothing, except it be GIVEN HIM from heaven.

Amen Jesse, I suppose that's why the scripture says you know them by their fruit.

It seems no matter where you go you run into some that seems to be be well versed in scripture but fruitless! and seems to separate themselves or worldly and sensual.

Jude 1:18-19. How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.

These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.

Paul gave warnings of this in Acts.

Acts 20:29-30. For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock.

Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.

Even Paul presented the Gospel in away to protect from this.

1 Corinthians 2:1-5. And I, brethren, when I came to you, came not with excellency of speech or of wisdom, declaring unto you the testimony of God.

For I determined not to know any thing among you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified.

And I was with you in weakness, and in fear, and in much trembling.

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power:

That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

God bless

Simbongile,

Something that we must keep in mind is that we cannot feel spirit. How does a person feel spirit? They can't! What we feel is human emotional energy, and many in our churches today do not know the difference between emotional energy and the power of the Holy Spirit. I can remember when I first received Christ, I experienced what people call being "on-fire" for the Lord. You know, that feel good experience? But that was a human emotional response to the things of the Lord. That's what I felt. It was human emotion because I know that I cannot feel spirit. For example, we know that angels are spirit beings. Every believer has at least one angel around them all the time. We don't know how many, but there's at least one. But if you reach out, you cannot feel that angel.

It's the same with the Holy Spirit inside a believer. We cannot see Him, and we cannot feel Him. All we can have are emotional experiences. That experience may or may not be the result of the Holy Spirit working in our lives. But we know and trust that God's Spirit is still there and His Spirit in us is always working non-stop. We don't have to have a feeling to know He's there. That's what it means to live by faith. We don't have to see, and we don't have to feel anything.

There are people today who preach that you have to "feel" the power of the Holy Spirit. Again, you cannot feel Spirit. And then the congregation gets themselves worked up into a frenzy and says it's the Holy Spirit when in fact, it's just emotional energy. It's like the same emotional energy you see people expressing at a sporting event.

Please know that you do not have to "feel" anything in order to know that God's Spirit is in you. If you've been born of His Spirit, He's there, He will always be there, and He will always be working in your life.

Can a church use tithes to purchase snacks to feed prayer meetings attendees in hopes to attract more people to save?

Where in the bible it say we will see things in the haven before the end?

I believe that Joshua was relaying what God had told Moses, assuring the people that as long as they believed God's word and trust Him that He would fight for them. He would deliver the land into their hand. Just as today with this Pandemic if we would follow 2Chronicles 7:14 "If my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven and heal their land." Matt. 6:33 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." God's word is the same yesterday, today and forever. Amen

Amen and Amen Brother Jesse!

God is absolute, he means what he says and says what he means, along with his Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. I don't understand those who are unsaved, in the entertainment industry, government and everyday life, that think it is cool or hip to be no character having people. In Romans Chapter 1:28-32, it talks about how the unsaved person enjoys sinning and sin, and the last verse states how those who enjoy sin and sinning are deserving of death. In the Book of Psalm Chapter 34:16 it says: The face of the Lord are against those that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the EARTH! The Lord also says he's not willing that ANY should perish, but that all come to repentance! The Lord wants people to be born again, saved, sanctified, filled with the Holy Spirit, and all their sins washed away by the Blood of Jesus Christ, but we realize, that this not going to be so, for many, when they stop breathing! (St. Matthew 7:14), meaning, for many. This being said, i have a question, why is it that those who are unsaved, enjoy sinning against the Lord so much, by not having Character! Why do they enjoy breaking the laws of the land? to be accepted by their peers? Why do they insist on telling God, that it's hip or cool to be a sinning fool against him?. Showing that they have no character, and that they are dishonorable? It's not hip or cool to be a person of no character and sinful, enjoying doing wickedness and sinning in the earth! The entertainment industry promotes this, and many of them are MISERABLE behind the scenes in their lives! Because, the word of God does NOT return void! If you are going around as a sinner calling God a liar for ANY reason! telling him that it's hip or cool to sin against him and live a life of no character and dishonorably before him, you will truly give an account to God! and You WILL reap what you sow, NO MATTER WHAT!( Romans 14:12, Galatians 6:7, Psalm 34:16, Romans 1:32) Live right, see good, live sinful, see death!

I recently learned the 'hidden books' were removed in 1885 from the Bible. Reason I heard was there were references of magic and such. If that was true then many other books would have been removed. What ever organization did the removing is in real danger. When Heavenly Father said nothing was to be added or taken away, he meant it. I may not be with great knowledge, but I'd rather follow the commandments to be on the right side.

I'm a sinner PLEASE pray for me...that GOD heals my soul and cleanses me from all unrightestness. And in FAITH I thank JESUS my LORD AND SAVIOR.

How can I listen instead of just reading?

At 87 my eyesight is not as good as it used to be.

Vs22: But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.

What did Jesus mean by: let THE DEAD bury their dead"? Did he mean the Spiritually-dead,

(the unsaved)???

Mountain Preacher,

If I can piggyback a little more off Chris, it sounds like Paul was being sarcastic when he said "ye might well bear with him." It starts out saying, for if he that cometh preaches another Jesus. The word another is ALLOS which means another of the same kind. For if he that comes preaches another Jesus of the same kind, whom we have not preached, or you receive another spirit, and this is HETEROS which means of a different kind.

If you receive another spirit of a different kind, which you have not received, or received another gospel, again HETEROS, meaning a different gospel, which you have not accepted, "you might well bear up with him." Paul is being sarcastic here!

They'll tolerate a false teacher coming in and preaching to them another Jesus, presenting a different holy spirit, and a different gospel. But now all of a sudden because of their influence, they can't tolerate Paul anymore, and Paul fathered them in the gospel.

Paul's pointing that out to them. It's interesting that people can preach Jesus, talk about the Holy Spirit, preach a gospel from out of the bible, and all three can be wrong. Later, Paul presents to us that Satan himself appears as an angel of light. He's the most religious being around and his work is scary!

I don't mean that in a sense that we should be afraid of Christian fellowship. But we don't fear the great deception that Satan can pull, and he's not just working outside of the church, but also inside! There's more than one Jesus being preached. But there is only one Jesus of the bible. Also, there's a different spirit that ministers a different Jesus to people, and a different gospel. So that means a person can have a bible, have a spiritual ministry behind it, be ministering about Jesus, and all three can be wrong!

Paul says that people come in and bring a false Jesus, a false spirit, and a false gospel, and you tolerate them. All I'm asking is that you tolerate me here for a few minutes!

Hi Nwachukwu.

When you click on Bible Discussion there is a section where it says Discussions by Book/Chapter. All available on this site.

However one can get confused and lost going through such material being that there is diverse opinions of what's behind written.

Once you have given yourself to the Lord let your source of understanding come from the Lord's word and prayer to get on a solid foundation.

I would suggest using the king James Bible, A good concordance, and Bible dictionary.

Then use the site to perhaps gather thoughts of others.

REMEMBER THAT FOUNDATION IS VERY IMPORTANT!! "God's Word and you trusting and feeding on it!!".

Please stay in touch daily if need be.

God bless.
