Jesus said to turn the other cheek. If people did that, especially Christians, we wouldn't have endless tit for tat gang violence. Thousands per year murdered and the cycle never ends. Everyone is justified and gets 'revenge' in their own mind. But it's an endless cycle. Anytime you kill or hurt others, you put a target on yourself. Someone somewhere will want to harm you or your family. What David did was absolutely evil, but no, I would not continue the cycle of violence, because that would be sinful and evil. Self defense is different.
Unfortunately, the Bible is silent to all those unexplained background facts.
They are sent to minister to the heirs of salvation. That's believers. Could be comfort, help in a situation, cautioning.
Myself, I think mostly they are acting invisibly; but people still see them, or hear them.
There was one instance when after church I found a relative (a medium, psychic: one who can lend their bodies to attack others), trying to convince my mother the Roswell Incident was real. I waited till she finished her "spill". I said to her: those books are written to sell books, make money, deceive the unspiritual; to enrich their bank accounts.
After a long pause, she replied: you are correct. I excused myself to go to bed.
Barely asleep I was attacked. I pleaded the blood of JESUS. I heard a physical fight take place outside the window. I couldn't see anything but I was hearing violent body blows. It stopped and I was sure I'd never sleep again! Peace came over me and I fell asleep. My aunts companion left early and then she did. All I know is that I'm alive to tell of this, Praise to Jesus!
We can't order them to come to us. They are angelic agents that serve God. He sends them to the heirs who ask for help. All kinds of help: freeing up finances, a home in a safe neighborhood, driving in wicked weather, a job. They aren't our butlers or maids. Bless God they are there when we call out to Him. When fear and doubt attacks you...pray out loud to God.
If your teenagers are hanging out with the wrong crowd... ask for angels to go with them. Praise Him who hears that prayer!
God loves us so very much. He gave us the best gift of all gifts. His son. The gift is not received until you unwrap it and make it your most precious possession. Amen!
I don't understand this, it must be abstract. There are new things made by man every day, it must mean that there are no new earth elements being made or no new things like wind, fire, water etc being made?
10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
11 There is no remembrance of former things; neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.
......meaning in a nutshell your spirit is repurposed or comes back but this is I believe as GOD sees fit. I'm not sure what you mean when you say "surrender" as that is nowhere in this chapter but you have to figure out what the "Holy Spirit" is first. I say this because Catholicism says Mary (mother of Christ) was seduced by or impregnated by the "Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost" so are you saying that when you receive the "Holy Spirit/Ghost" you will become pregnant with child? No, so that doctrine makes no sense. Lastly, only GODS elect spoke through the Holy Ghost in the Bible so only makes sense that would be the case today
Truly We need GOD , the son of GOD,
JESUS CHRIST our LORD and Savior. Believing in him , we live forever. Every thing else is vanity.
We live , we love, and we die. Our members ce is gone. We fly away as a dove in the sky. The life we live is remembered by our live ones, friends. We are written of in books. Taught of in schools , and family our strength , and courage and love. But we leave this world, and fly away with GOD, our FATHER. The ONE that made us, HE takes back what he made. All is vanity in this world.
Sun - or the largest fire in our solar system - 5 times.
Earth - once.
Wind - twice.
Water - 3 times.
Earth wind fire and water were not the four ancient elements. They were the four ancient elementary mnemonics ancient man used to begin "being in the spirit" as John the Revelator did. God is trying to tell you how serious it is to have you yourselves teach yourselves to be "in the spirit". Only mentioned 11 times? Not serious enough for you?
In Genesis chapter one, these 4 mnemonics are mentioned 54 times. Is that serious enough for you?
