This a journey of faith. of love, grace and mercy. not feelings but faith from your heart. its what we live by. believe the word , apply the word.

Please read the first four verses of Acts 2. When I received the power of the Holy Ghost, it came with the evidence of speaking in tongues, just as the Bible says. When you receive it, you don't have to speak 24/7, but it should be sometimes because if the spirit dwells in you, it will be made known. Blessings!

What was the Miracle Of Astounding Proportions? - Matthew 14:15-21; Mark 6:35-44: Like 9:12-17; John 6:5-14. Jesus words in ( Matthew 14:16) carried a higher spiritual cogitation; He is the 'Bread of Life', therefore, the Body of Christ is to be fed regarding the Word of God. God has an order and method by which His heavenly Blessings are divinely distributed. Reading from verse 19 of Matthew 14: (He took, He blessed, He did break, and He gave to the Disciples - that is His order with Believers as well). One of the divine Principles of Breaking Limits is ALWAYS to give 'Thanks' (cf. John 6:11). It is from God whence all blessings come. We must ever seek His Face for leading an.

When God made that Promise that he was gonna multiply Abraham's heavenly seed as the stars of heaven(Christ Jesus ). God swore by himself meaning he was gonna multiply his very self via the seed of Christ thats y Jesus is saying to whom the word came it made them Gods and Jesus refers to the H.G AS THE PROMISE MEANING TH H.G. was the multiplication of God.

TH ISRAEL OF GOD,He wants to impregnate this whole world with his precious seed TH WORD Thats y he has to know us, bornagain of an incorruptible SEED.

Words can not express the gratitude I have for my LORD and savior . I was so lost and always knew he was there but it wasn't until the last four years in my darkest times , I poured my heart and soul out to him . He literally saved my life . No one in this world could understand the emotions I was going through or help me except Christ . To this day I give thanks for everything in my life he has blessed me with and more . Every single day I do the same and pray for others hoping they will feel the same salvation . GOD is good!

Of course, you're correct. However, when some speak against such manifestations of spiritual gifts, they see how it is being done outside of Biblical instruction. The chapter you quote, is filled with instruction on its permitted use. And if there is no one to interpret when a tongue is given, then he should remain silent; for the gift is given so an unbeliever has a sign from God that an unlearned language is spoken (maybe God is giving him a Word), and to the believer, the translated message from that tongue will be for mutual edification. Outside these guidelines, the gift of tongues becomes pointless and of little use in the Church.

If your remark is of a general nature & not tied to a thread here, then please remember we are Christians, ordinary people, who love the Lord Jesus and give testimony to His Love and Saving Grace. Not everyone can be articulate or well-informed, as maybe you are, but the Scripture has declared, "But God chose the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God has chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty" ( 1Cor 1:26,27). We might be simple, misguided people in the eyes of the world, but content to be precious in God's Eyes as we endeavour to live for Him & speak of His Goodness in whatever way we can.

It is wonderful to read your testimony in this matter, brother. The Lord is mindful of your needs & situation. As the LORD also said, that "it is not good for man to be alone" ( Gen 2:18). Remain in prayer and devotion to the One Who has purchased you with a great price. He will give you the right companion in His Time. When ye "seek first the Kingdom of God & His Righteousness, all (these) things will be added unto you" ( Mt 6:33).

True things are happening

In Injil-e-muqaddas, we see the words of Jesus in John chap 3: For God so loved the world (ALL peoples of ALL nations He made), that He gave His only begotten Son (His Word = 'Kalimat-ullah' sent to this Earth & clothed in the form of man) see John 1:1-14; that whosoever believeth on Him should not perish, but have everlasting life".(v16). "Jesus came unto His own (the Jews), & His own received Him not (rejected & crucified Him). But as many as received Him (believe & accept His sacrifice by faith), to them gave He power (the right, privilege) to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on His Name" ( John 1:11,12). Yes, Jesus came for the Jews, but His love extends to you & me also.

Thank You very Much Bretheren! But I Have tried Dating Some Time Back With Someone Whom I Thought Is trustworthy But At Last Her Behaviors Were Even More Wicked than the People Outside The Church. Me Knowing How Much It Costed For Me To Be Saved, I Gave up For the Sake Of Eternal Life.

Great comments from Jesse. I too feel, without direct Scriptural warrant, that in Heaven the saints will have some consciousness of loved ones left behind or even grieve over the continual depravity of the world, as the Father grieves. The only references I can cite refer to angels who have an interest in us on the Earth; then can we assume that saints who have gone on ahead of us, can likewise 'enjoy' the same vista? Consider: Mt 18:10, Lk 15:10, 1 Cor 4:9, 11:10, 1 Pet 1:12.

I would add: the readers of Hebrews were Messianic Jews, living in Jerusalem & were being encouraged during persecution. The key verse re: Rebeca's question, is verse 26: "If we sin wilfully...". In Greek, this is written in the present, active tense; i.e. "If we go on sinning, or making it a continual habit". We understand by the Spirit's Work in our salvation, that it is a complete & perfect Work; i.e. we are not only forgiven completely but for all time & given the Power to live our new life. We can still sin, but the Spirit within checks us to draw us to repentance. But if we reject His pleas & prefer our 'other' lifestyle, then the question: were we even saved at all? God is our Judge.

Miguel: Adam has given you a very worthy & accurate response, but I will add further. You ask: "Why doesn't God show Himself or a sign of Himself?" Well, He has in the Person, Work and Sacrifice of His Son Jesus Christ. Once a man called Philip asked Jesus the same question you are asking now. And Jesus replied, "he that hath seen Me hath seen the Father (God)". You can read it in John's Gospel, chapter 14, verses 6 to 11. If you study Jesus' life, as you also study others & holy books you think are equally worthy, you will not find one person or book that can measure up to Jesus, God's Son. His life was sinless, His Sacrifice was complete, & He fulfils all prophecies given about Him.

People can also get audio of the KJV for free, for example on this website. Someone can load it on their smart phone and just play the audio of any chapter they want to hear.

I suggest the King James Bible on CD with Alexander Scourby as the narrator as he has a great voice. It can be had for the new testament only for about 25 dollars delivered. Pay attention to who is being persecuted for Christ and by whom are doing the persecution. It will likely be the same as it was in the days of Christ. Persecution is coming people and has been in the works for a long time. 10 of the 12 apostles died for their faith. Paul died for his faith and stephen did also.
Jesus died for you, would you die for him?

Revelation 14:13 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, ...

Everyone please turn off the TV and read or listen to the Bible. One can buy the KJV new testament on CD for about 25 dollars us delivered. Listen to it while working or driving. James 1 says if any of you lack understand let him ask of God.
Seriously ask the Lord to reveal things to you and dig. Hit the thrift stores and buy some bibles as some day they shall likely be illegal. There are places now where the new testament is considered hate speech. The Lord is not happy with Europe and the USA and judgment is coming. Persecution is promised to those who follow Christ in 2 Timothy 3:12
Persecution shall separate the sheep from the goats and shall bring revival to the true remnant of Christ

I apologize. I just wish we could join hands and kick corona virus in the teeth with our faith. On Passover the Jews put lambs blood over the door so death (corona virus) would pass over the house. Jesus gives us power to stand against the enemies that would end us. Feed your faith, beloveds.

Before I was rescued to salvation, I studied stars, planets, sun, moon: trying to explain why things were as they were. Trying to project into future.
You are tuned into MEDIA news, Facebook, Twitter geniuses,Pharisees and politicians.
JESUS said I am the way, the TRUTH and the LIFE. Listen to Him!!! You're being led away.. Either you are in Jesus or not. Stop starving your spirit to death. You may be in the process of FALLING AWAY. He didn't promise us smooth sailing. We are hid in him. Slap on the jumper cables and restart your hearts. Walk up to the Goliath of your souls & launch the rock that explodes his brain. Feed on the Word. Bulk up! Turn off pathetic news. Jesus is the King!

I feel like Spock. A lot of comments are illogical, imaginary and not backed up with scripture.

Let's all keep praying for this world that this Covid-19 disappears and that there is a cure for it soon.And that no more diseases like this again.I know the Lord our daddy wants all to keep praying for this.And stay safe and strong in the Lord!I am praying for you all an the world!

Unlike others I have not come to debate. I find it strange and noteworthy that the passage describes a custom that was so obscure for so long that we use a Polynesian loanword to describe it. But look to the old King James where it could also mean do not draw on your body with ink that will wash off. Here I must trust the translator's insight.

This is not talking about a believer losing their salvation. The writer is speaking to unsaved Jews and telling them that if people died under the wrath of God for just violating the law of Moses, they will suffer greater punishment if they reject the Son of God, or consider the blood of the New Covenant of Christ to be an unholy thing, or insult the Holy Spirit when He comes and ministers the gospel of grace to them. This passage is talking about Jews who were hearing the message of salvation, but did not take the next step of receiving Christ for salvation, because if they did, they would be persecuted by their fellow Jews, kicked out of the temple, and even ostracized by their own kin.

The weak comforted themselves with tears, and the strong honed themselves with sweat

I noticed that passage in my Bible reading and remembered several people who had inquired about hair styles. I was passing it along. I think the state of our souls tops hairstyles any day. Have a great evening.

1Cor 14:39 is clear: "....forbid not to speak in toungues." So we have nothing to say about it being past away, wrong, bad, good, or whatever; we simply "forbid not."
