Discuss Matthew 8 Page 9

I I got out of it,that i know god will heal,right now I 'm being in pain on my right side of my upper body its bad pain just to move,but i belive that god is going to heal my right side and deliver me from this pain,and give me a testimony.

I am looking for more revelations on verse 12 ...the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth,...

God is an awesome God, He can do all things and every thing because He is the creator of everything and everyone Praise His Holy name, all we have to do is believe in Him and exercise our faith in Him. Thank you Lord Jesus for being who you are and strengthen our faith and trust in you please AMEN.

I understand priorities in being a disciple of Christ. I 'm having difficulty understanding why those left behind to tend to the dead are considered "dead. " That 's like saying all that attend to burials and ceremonies are dead in Christ.

The Holy Spirit Led me to read this scripture. I picked up my Bible, the section of Matthew chapter 8, was missing, torn, so then I google the information, then read, meditate on this particular type scripture.

Matthew Chapter 8 I 'm going through the storm right now I 'm trying very hard to keep my faith the devil tries to get at me but I always remember that God ie Good and He knows what I need and when I need it He is a good God I know that God is real I have faith that my storm will be ending very soon

my God is always there we you need him amen.

when God call us to do something he want us to do it like now no waiting around HE did not tell the man that had the leprosy to wait the disciple that said let me bury my father first the dead will be dead and can t go or do anything this is telling me that the GOD work is above everything He came to do the will of HIS FATHER when we take care of GOD business HE will take of our business Seek GOD first and His kingdom

V29 This was a confirmation that Jesus was and is the Son of God since Judaism and Islam never acknowledged Jesus to be son of God so spirits of devil possessed men discerned and confessed who Christ was and it was not by coincidence that Jesus met them

through reading the word of God we awake Jesus to calm our greatest tempest in our lives

1 This erases the notion that only the Jews could be saved 2 It also makes the point also that a person cannot be saved on their parents merits

Jesus answered and said unto them This is the work of God that ye believe on Him whom He hath sent John 6 29 God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son That whosoever believe shall not perish but have everlasting life John 3 16

Chapter 8 reveals how powerful God is.verse 26 it appears to me Jesus was seeding faith in the disciples(we),ooh ye of little faith! Imagine Jesus was asleep in a windy situation yet these man were troubled..Many at times we are in different storms BUT if we dont allow Jesus to b sleepin in that storm and not calling him to wake up we wont succeed.......verse 29 when the spirits say why have to torment us before time,its clear that eventually when the end comes Satan will be defeated.

Jesus is saying those who follow him are not at home here in this world. We are just passing through. The animals do not have a spirit. They are just body and soul. As God's children we have to live in this monetary world because we have been given life. It is God's gift to us. What we do with this life while we are here is our gift to God. It is okay to have a dwelling here but our main focus is to follow Jesus and spread the gospel. Always giving as he gave his life. If you see a need then meet it if it is in your power.

When i was reading this chapter the time they were crossing to the other side Jesus fall asleep but he knew that there will be a strong wind on the see, untill they called him, when we are going through tough times our lord Jesus is there waiting for us to call him.

i have been receiving communion forover fifty years...and it wasnt until today that i heard the real words...i repeated ity two times before i did receive Jesus and i needed to look it up. thank you

powerful chapter about authority only if We Christians knew the great power and authority given unto us the world would be a better place we have the same power that raised Christ from the Dead and we can do all the miracles that Jesus Did and even much more, wow that's powerful thank you Jesus all Glory be to you my Lord.

JESUS our creator we love you. Thank you, we lift up your name. Thou art our GOD. Your name is JESUS

I have thoroughly enjoyed everything that's been posted. I want more of JESUS and less of me.

The devil has possed me off and 0n (if that's possible since the sixties.I love when Jesus chases the demons away.I have been clearhead for several weeks.I pray to God my faith is strong enough that I will not stray from His arms. Thank you God, for Jesus Christ.

ican just picture that man getting all these animals together.

"let the dead bury their dead" means - Let those who are spiritually dead - not spiritually awake - go on with their lives. They are walking, seeing, talking, etc but they are not spiritually alive - they are just like automatons - robots . "I come to give you life" - But are they anot already alive? - no. they are spiritually - dead.

I've learned how to have deep faith and also not to be fearful. When that man said he wanted to go and bury his father, Jesus asked him to follow him, definitely we should learn how to take God 1st and follow Jesus in anything we do in life.

He took on all the sins of the world for us, that we would have the right of life for ever with him.

God is good

matthew 8and 8 is and was an eye opening for me. It made me check myself reguarding my faith. When i checked myself i found that my faith wasn't where i needed it to be. In other words i was talking a good game, my bark was bigger than my bite. However, thanks be to god, for allowing me to see myself and for teaching me how to trust him and how to walk by faith and not by sight.

Who was Peter's wife?

I believe that is whats going on today with all the killing of children and children killing parents everybody needs Jesus I am just coming back to church myself and i know i cannot make it without Jesus in my life so Iam going to keep on seeking Jesus until I find my purpose.

Verse16) "All the spirits fled when he commanded them to leave ..." Satan and his demons exist like mental thoughts. The only way you can identify one is by its purpose and intent. Usually a person under this attack can't tell his thoughts from the thoughts of the demon. But sometimes they can. In any case, their tone of voice often changes, and their thoughts, actions , and words become agitated and hostile. And the intent and purpose of the spirit become manifested. But in a religious setting, this can take on a misguided religious affect, with slanderous, emotional displays.

This means that the spirit world is not in another time, space deminsion as many believe. Otherwise we we would have no contact with them. And they couldn't possess people. Their deminsion is their spirit state, pure bodiless mind power or intellect without shape or form. And it is right here, and we can witness its effects.

One of the purposes of a demon is to pervert Jesus' human creation. Another purpose is to feel the effects of living in a body, something they do not have. This way they can commit murder, lie, steal, etc., and blame it on the human victom. They do this by inhabiting humans. We call this possession.

They flee at the word of Jesus because they know he is God and has ultimate power. This is what we see taking place in verse 16.

Neil, I was confused too, but Wesley's notes help. From my understanding, Jesus was saying that it is ok to follow Him, but do not follow Jesus if you are seeking earthly things. In a way you are correct, Jesus did not claim a home on the earth, and he wanted any potential followers to know that it wouldn't be a road trip with stays at five star hotels, so to speak. Jesus wanted everyone to know that following Him would not benefit them in an earthly way.
