  • Bee Peterson on Revelation 7:9 - 6 years ago
    In verse 10 highlights the great amount of love that Jehovah God and Jesus have for us. We know we can't earn nor do we deserve salvation but it is only because of Jehovah's underserved kindness that we can share in the loud shout of praise mentioned in this verse. So it is important for us to express deep appreciation for Jehovah God and Jesus and to help others to do the same.
  • Jim on Matthew 24:9 - 6 years ago
    Jesus told his disciples, let no man deceive, you. Many false prophet's will come in Jesus name and deceive many. My brother and sisters, the devil desire is to sift us and wheat.to brake us down,and turn us away from God. Don't give in to your worldly desires,the you do so the more of the world you become. God is at war with what the world has to offer his people. If you love what this world to offer, God to you is a passing memory you; that mean you are at war with God. Satan can't win. When he is defeated, and cast into hell; The lovers of this world will be cast into hell also. In reference to Matthew chap 24
  • Bianca Peterson on Genesis 29 - 6 years ago
    In verse 35, even though Leah happened to be in circumstances beyond her control that weren't ideal, she still expressed gratitude towards Jehovah God and offered him praise. This is a good example to imitate because we each face trials that may be out of our control but we can always look for ways to express our thanks to Jehovah God.
  • Bianca Peterson on Exodus 4 - 6 years ago
    In verse 21 even though God knew that Pharaoh would harden his heart he still made sure that he received warning. This shows that God didn't want to destroy Pharaoh but he gave him time to change his thinking and ways.
  • Duke Scanlan on 1 Corinthians 1:8 - 6 years ago
    I think this verse is the first mention of the Day of the Lord.
  • John on Matthew 24:36 - 6 years ago
    No man knows the day or hour, but as to the year, I speculate around 2030.The 5G network or 7G? may be the limit to man's technology, but who knows? why wait. It's best to prepare in case that day or hour comes unexpectedly. Just like a thief in the night. The clock is ticking. It already started when eve made her most lethal mistake in the garden of Eden.
  • Alex on Matthew 24:9 - 6 years ago
    Gbu mishael thats a good prayer to fight the devil for pain in your body .
  • Sunday Levinus Alaka on Matthew 24:36 - 6 years ago
    Though our present day rivals Noah's in corruption and evil, this meaning of Matthew 24:36-39 is actually the secondary interpretation. The primary meaning is more simple: Christ would come at a time when most of the world was busy doing its normal activities.
  • Ness on Matthew 24:9 - 6 years ago
    Is Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles? 2 Timothy 2:15 it says to study and rightly divide the word of truth. "rightly dividing" to mean we should cut the Bible up into the parts meant for Israel and the parts meant for the Church, and only focus on the parts meant for us. is these the right interpretation to about confusion on the scripture?
  • John L - In Reply on Matthew 24:9 - 6 years ago
    Mishael,

    I enjoy reading your comments, and agree with much of what you say concerning the various topics you discuss.

    I would, however, have to disagree with your assessment concerning vaccines.

    Vaccines use aborted fetal tissue (among many other horrible and debilitating chemicals) and may be the leading reason for Autism, auto immune disorders, etc. in the U.S.

    Vaccines are a leading reason as to why the United States is one of the most disease riddled countries in the world.

    A small amount of research into the adverse effects of vaccines and the chemicals used in them might be advisable before recommending people get them.

    (If you do research it, don't use the website "pintrest" as 4 months ago they announced that they will not display any anti-vaccine articles or comments. Why? Very powerful pharmaceutical companies!

  • Terry on Matthew 5:9 - 6 years ago
    There are generational blessings given in this chapter. Great guidance on how we should behave to receive blessings.
  • Mishael - In Reply on Matthew 24:9 - 6 years ago
    Pray this Copy it down too

    In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth

    I plead the Holy Blood of Jesus from the top of my head to the soles of my feet.

    I command the spirit of infirmity to leave my body now! In the name of Jesus, I release life and flexibility into my spine!

    I command pain to loose and leave now!

    I command doubt and confusion to leave.

    I ask for angels to assist these spirits to go into outer darkness or dry empty places.

    I will stand now and praise my Lord Jesus.

    AMEN, SO BE IT. HALLELUJAH JESUS

    You will have to pray this every time pain returns. It's a LYING spirit trying to regain entrance. You may have to get loud. It works for me!

    Two weeks ago I was healed of bone problems in my hip. I kept striking back and now I have no pain! Let your faith get rowdy and give God all the Glory.
  • Chris - In Reply on Psalms 2 - 6 years ago
    Thanks for sharing that testimony, Jerry. It's only when we come to the end of ourselves, acknowledge our estrangement from the Lord Who loves us & waits for us, & humble ourselves in repentance, then only can we find His forgiveness & restoration. And what a change of scene that is: out of darkness (of fears, struggles & sin) into His marvellous Light (of forgiveness, joy & peace). No better place to be: in the Palm of His Hand & secure in His Love.

    May God lead you further in His Truth & conforming you each day into the image of His Son. Colossians 3:1-4.
  • Chris - In Reply on Matthew 11:28 - 6 years ago
    James, that's a good observation, for in a quick reading of those verses, it would appear as a conflicting message from Jesus. However, when we look at what Jesus was referring to when He said, "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (vv 28,30), He was speaking about what the Jews had placed upon them. All Jews were subject to the Pharisees' & Scribes' teaching & interpretation of the Law. However, in their zeal & desire to keep the people subject to them, they added their own 'extra' requirements to the Law making the burden the people had to bear far too heavy. ( Mt 23:4)

    This was particularly evident concerning observance of the Sabbath. The religious leaders opposed Jesus & His disciples for plucking ears of corn to satisfy their hunger ( Mt 12:1-8), or when Jesus healed a man on the Sabbath ( Mt 12:10-14). The Pharisees imposed their own laws onto that one to condemn Jesus for what He did but He gave them an appropriate reply.

    We all have to pull our yoke through life with its burdens. The Jews had the Law to obey, which was burdensome in itself with all its regulations, obligations & ceremonies, but these leaders wanted to make it more so. When Jesus said that "His yoke was easy & His burden light", He was trying to get them to see that it was, for example, "The sabbath that was made for man, and not man for the sabbath" ( Mk 2:27); He wanted them to see the spirit of the Law rather than the letter. His requirements were always for our blessing & comfort & for the Christian (after His resurrection), the apostle Paul wrote about the liberty we have: "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage." ( Gal 5:1). And this liberty was not for us to do anything we wanted (as some Christians believe), but free to obey the spirit of the law by the strength & indwelling Holy Spirit which is not burdensome.
  • Mishael - In Reply on Leviticus 1 - 6 years ago
    You did good!

    Sometimes I feel like a twisted voice crying out in the wilderness. In the prayer request room I saw that people are being oppressed from lack of knowledge. I asked the Lord what I was to do.

    For so long, people ask why God is letting all the bad things happen. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. One of satans names: Destroyer.

    I'm praying for people to get sick of watching dance shows, talent shows, super strength shows: to hate the superficial poison of people who only love the money. To me it looks like a spider that drains its victims dry. My heart aches for people always watching other people on YouTube. Even little children. I'm learning war. They will be Left Behind and I can't bear that thought.

    Cling to Jesus. Worship His Holiness.

    Did you know? The air of heaven is Faith.

    Thank You Father for your blessings I will sing you

  • Chris - In Reply on Acts 2:13 - 6 years ago
    Yes, stay true to your belief that Adam's wife was Eve. What you have been told by others is wrong, as that information (that Lilith was Adam's first wife) is based on some Jewish folklore that Lilith was created from the same clay as Adam & this legend developed further over the Middle Ages into various stories.

    The Bible teaches us that God created Eve from the rib of Adam ( Gen 2:21) not from clay & the biblical account of their sin & that sin passed on to succeeding generations, can only be found in the God's Word. Only in the Bible can we find & learn of true history of those days, so keep reading it to learn more about God & his requirements for you.
  • Chris - In Reply on Leviticus 1 - 6 years ago
    John, the possession of humans by evil spirits is very real. Even when looking at examples of this in the Bible, where Jesus dealt with them (e.g. Luke 4:33-36; Mark 9:20-27; Matthew 17:14-18; etc.) we know that this demonic activity was very much evident in those days as it is in ours. As Mishael has warned, that fooling around with occultic practices, even laying open our minds by use of drugs or pursuit of demonic religions, makes one highly susceptible to demonic possession, or oppression.

    My personal experience of one such occasion was when sharing in a Bible study in another country. My passage was actually on 1 Peter chapter 3, sharing with families in that respect. So, it was a study not essentially on the Cross or victory over Satan, etc., yet a lady in our midst appeared overcome with heaviness (sadness on her face) & later began to shake a little & then uncontrollably. I thought it weird given the passage of Scripture being looked at, but had later come to realize that when God's powerful Word is opened & read, then the spirits are also troubled. Indeed, "the devils (i.e. demons) believe & tremble" (Js 2:19). That woman wasn't shaking because of an affliction or being moved by my teaching: those which possessed her were agitated at the reading of God's Word. The end of that, was that my indigenous brother took charge & dispatched that evil spirit from out of her. She fell onto the bench she was sitting on & later recovered smiling & joining us in sweet fellowship, being freed from her torment. After some days, we visited her to see how she & her family were doing: and PTL they were all overjoyed in her release & being normal & useful in the home.

    I just share the above to give you a personal witness of such things that go on all the time. Evil forces surround us, many succumb in different ways, but to the child of the Living God, he walks on with joy & confidence, knowing that "greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world (Js 4:4).

    Page 2.

    You have given pertinent Scriptures to support the believer's constant struggle against falling away. And I suppose that whatever Scriptures we offer, we can always find support for our views through them. So, it's only when I can stand on a firm basis (in Scripture) that I can then proceed to other Truths from there. Then I ask myself: that if portions like Ephesians chapter 1 show that we have been "predestined unto the adoption of children", does this Scripture make any allowance for error in Paul's teaching or indeed, God's Work, or maybe it has another meaning or even my misunderstanding of it?

    My belief is that this Scripture is not just for those who are called to be apostles or the giants in faith, but to ALL who are the purchased possession of God according to His Own choosing. Can I then even presume that what God has ordained, would have an iota of chance of being lost back into the world of evil? If then, God's choosing & predestining of our lives are without the possibility of fault, then what should we make of those other Scriptures (as you quoted) that warn believers ( Phil 2:12): "to work out (practise the full demands) of your salvation with (in) fear & trembling"? Do such Scriptures then speak of the possibility of a loss of salvation or could they be warnings to believers to not become slack in their faith or even syncretize it with any other teaching, or else there would be punishment & suffering, even death: yet "he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire". Maybe it would take a great persecution or even the prospect of an agonizing death as a result that would divide those who have loved the Lord more than their own lives from those whom the Lord will find no pleasure in.

    Hi John, it has been good chatting & going through your valuable comments. As I read them on Page 1, I could see a brother who desires most of all to be faithful to his Lord in every area of his life. And that, in truth, is what is expected of us & when we falter, the Spirit within immediately steps in to teach us, correct us & bolster our faith & resolve. This blessed work of the Spirit is what I cling on to, as it's not only proof to our hearts of God's Love & indwelling, but the 'sufficient' Grace given when needed. And I'm sure your faith will stand in the most testing of circumstances & that the Power of God will be revealed in you to maintain that bold stand.

    I've personally experienced this while serving in Pakistan, when His Power & intervention were mightily seen during times when our human resources had long expired & circumstances well beyond our control. Those were experiences that can't be shared here, but were those that cause us now to have great confidence in Him & thrust out against the Enemy in his territory. In the West, the Enemy is the same but what we may be called to stand against, might be different - for now.
  • Thomas Jones on Revelation 20 - 6 years ago
    And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Write Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth : Yea, saith the Spirit, that they may rest from their labours : and their works do follow them. Revelation 14:13. All we need to do is live with Jesus Christ by keeping His commandments. If we live in the Lord we will die in Him. No confusion at all.
  • Mishael on the Dark Side of the Devil - In Reply on Leviticus 1 - 6 years ago
    Yep. People in the Occult, Reading Horoscopes. Tarot Cards. Fortune Tellers at the circus or phone psychics. Pornography. Sorcery is the practice of doing drugs, dope, alcohol; buying Wiccan love potions or other injectable products; strong belief in Halloween type magic.

    Then there's the full on satanists: with their book of shadows. It ain't good. There's thousands of ways to part human beings with their cash. There are levels in satan that can do things to people who opened the door for them to come in.

    There are wicked human spirits: people who give use of their spiritual bodies, so the demon can murder. Satan owns their souls.

    If a person has not received Jesus Christ to be their Savior; been born again and received the Holy Spirit... they have no protection from the demonic realm. Nothing but the Holy Blood of Jesus Christ can save us; protect us; protect the family; protect those that we love.

    I'm not a deliverance minister but I've survived an attack. The Blood of Jesus is more powerful than you may know. Angels (big ones) are real. Everything the Bible teaches about this is absolutely Real.

    We already are able to see a demonically driven crowd on tv, destroying everything in their path. Steal, Kill, Destroy, Violence, hatred. It was the same kind of crowd that screamed for Jesus to be Crucified!!

    Barabas was a cold blooded killer and that is who got to go home that day.

    The Good News is that Satan thought he was finally going to see the Son of God die on a Roman Cross! He exulted in every moment of Jesus's pain and then His death. He even had the Romans post a detail of guards outside the Tomb. Satan was just about to go to a party when the stone rolled away! Jesus stepped out and smiled.

    How much does Satan hate people? Lots.

    Don't dabble in the black practices. Get saved. Idols are doorways. Get rid of it.
  • Lionel - In Reply on Mark 2 - 6 years ago
    The Sabbath day was the day that God designated as the day that the Israelites would not be doing anything else but praying and worshipping Him. With respect with Israel time The sabbath was from 6pm Saturday to 6pm Sunday so sometime it is believed by some that the Sabbath was on Saturday while others believed it was Sunday.

    Jesus Christ fulfilled the Sabbath day, He is the Master of the Sabbath.
  • Mishael on Sabbath Church What is what - In Reply on Mark 2 - 6 years ago
    Matthew chapter 12

    For the Son of man is Lord even of the sabbath day.

    And when he was departed thence, he went into their synagogue (Church)

    And, behold, there was a man which had his hand withered. And they asked him (Jesus) saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath days? that they might accuse him.

    And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?

    How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

    Then saith he to the man, Stretch forth thine hand. And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like as the other.

    Then the Pharisees (Religious people) went out, and held a council against him, how they might destroy him.

    Sabbath is a Jewish word that describes the day everyone goes to Church. And he is showing that it can be on any day of the week if necessary.

    A Christian church is when everyone comes to pray for salvations and healings; everyone agreeing together and praying for someone to experience the power of the Holy Spirit

    Sabbath or Church is for the people...not only the priest or the pastor.

    I've been to some churches where half the service is dance-a-thon and not a lot of study. If you aren't learning anything, you might need to google some churches and see what their Tenets Of Faith are. What are their beliefs.

    We need BIBLE TEACHING! Not psychology, not marriage restoration; not services that are 50% entertainment where people just sit and watch. Do you catch what I'm saying? It's the people that are the engines that drive some church services. A Pastor that doesn't feed his sheep; produces skinny, unhealthy sheep. They fall into ditches, fall into sin.

    This isn't the 80's,90's, 2000-2019. It's 2020. Signs are starting to happen. Jesus is returning SOON. People need to know what's coming on the earth SOON!
  • Lionel - In Reply on Leviticus 1 - 6 years ago
    Yes it is true. As a human being, you are a spirit, you have a soul (your mind, will and emotions) and you live in your physical body. What gives you and I thr right to interact here, is the physical body. Look at the physical body as an earth suit just like staying on the moon needs wearing a suit to survive here.

    Demonic powers also want to have a way to have influence on this earth. That is the reason why the demons try so much to look for a physical body to work through. So yeah, demons can and do try to possess physical bodies.

    That is why you and I must be full of God.
  • Mishael - In Reply on Acts 2:13 - 6 years ago
    There is no one named Lilith in the Bible. I just checked it through the Search Box when you first enter this website. I checked the google box too.

    Some mention to statues for sale. That is what the Bible calls an IDOL. Check the 10 Commandments in Exodus 20

    You've asked this before. Why?
