61 | principles of the doctrine of christ | Hebrews | jlschock | 177074 | ||
I agree with you completly, Paul. Yes, there is a stage past 'the principles of Christ' I was giving detail to what principles the writers of Hebrews wanted his audience to go beyond. You gave a great answer to what is beyond those elementary principles. Joanna :) |

63 | How will I hear God's answer? | James 1:5 | jlschock | 179667 | ||
I would say that it depends on the situation that you are asking for wisdom. There are many ways that God could respond. A few are: He could use the time when you are reading the Word (Heb 4:12-13), He could use the body of Christ that is around you (there are several verses about the testimony of two or three witnesses), He could speak directly to you (1 Kings 19:9-18) Most often it's in a still, small voice and the best way to hear that voice is to be still before the LORD (Psalm 46:10) When I ask the LORD for wisdom I keep seeking Him until have an answer. I understand the situation and see His rightousness in the situation. The hardest part for me is to be still and listen after I ask. I trust that James 1:5 says that wisdom will be given to the person that asks. But I also remember the next three verses: James 1:6-8 "But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways." Hope this helps, Joanna :) |

Proverb 1:20-21 is a great reference verse about wisdom. I was by no means saying that the LORD always or only speaks in a still, small voice as in 1 Kings 19:9-18. In Job 38 the LORD talking out of a storm. That would be very loud. I think He talks in both ways. I was emphasizing on the still, small voice so that the person seeking the LORD's answer would not over look that. I was only giving some examples and I know that I missed some. I didn't even touch on dreams (there are so many references the first is Genesis 20) and visions (my personal favourite is Acts 10). Azure, as a mom do you speak to your child with shouts or in a loving calm voice? I find myself (as a mom of 2) using both ways depending on the situation. for HIS glory, Joanna :) |

65 | How will I hear God's answer? | James 1:5 | jlschock | 179726 | ||
I came across this verse in devotion today I thought that I would share since I think it has to do with what we are talking about in this thread. Isaiah 45:18-19For thus says the Lord--Who created the heavens, God Himself, Who formed the earth and made it, Who established it and did not create it to be a worthless waste; He formed it to be inhabited--I am the Lord, and there is no one else. I have not spoken in secret, in a corner of the land of darkness; I did not call the descendants of Jacob [to a fruitless service], saying, Seek Me for nothing [but I promised them a just reward]. I, the Lord, speak righteousness (the truth--trustworthy, straightforward correspondence between deeds and words); I declare things that are right. I think that no matter how the LORD speaks to you that if you are seeking for his wisdom and righteousness you will know it is the LORD that is speaking to you. When I am seeking the LORD, I read His word and pray asking for understanding and guidence and I keep reading until I hear from Him. hope this helps Joanna :) |

66 | What constitutes true repentance? | 1 Pet 2:25 | jlschock | 179381 | ||
I think that when you repent you turn from that sin never to return to it again. But know that you will be tempted. So when you are tempted you make a choice to turn from it again. And when you are being tempted thank the LORD for forgiveness and ask for strength to not fall into sin again. Being tempted is not sinning but falling into the temptation is. 1 Corinthians 10:13 NASB For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently. for HIS glory, Joanna :) |
