582 | Did Jesus speak at birth? | Heb 10:5 | Val | 193794 | ||
His public ministry began at around 30 and lasted for three years. If you read the gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John you will be blessed. Always pray first for understanding and find a bible believing christian in your area to help you with any questions you might have. Perhaps this may be a family member or friend. Ask God to lead you to such a person. Hope this helps. Respectfully submitted, |

584 | Questioning God. | James 1:1 | Val | 190918 | ||
James 1:5 But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all generously and without reproach, and it will be given to him. | ||||||
585 | Questioning God. | James 1:1 | Val | 190922 | ||
WOS-Isn't "questioning God's will" different from questioning why a bad thing has happened. We know that the Lord is just and pure and that there is no injustice in Him. To ask Him why a "bad thing" has happened isn't necessary "questioning His will" as you say. It is merely trying to make sense of the experiences of this world. When going through a bad experience who better to ask that the One who created us? Just trying to understand a crisis is not a bad thing. In fact, they draw us nearer to the Lord when we throw ourselves on Him and trust Him to be fair even when the world and the evil ones in it are not fair. James 1:16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. James 1:17 Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow. |

Luke 2:25 And there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon; and this man was righteous and devout, looking for the consolation of Israel; and the Holy Spirit was upon him. Luke 2:26 And it had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not see death before he had seen the Lord's Christ. Luke 2:27 And he came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus, to carry out for Him the custom of the Law, Luke 2:28 then he took Him into his arms, and blessed God, and said, Luke 2:29 "Now Lord, You are releasing Your bond-servant to depart in peace, According to Your word; Luke 2:30 For my eyes have seen Your salvation, Luke 2:31 Which You have prepared in the presence of all peoples, Luke 2:32 A LIGHT OF REVELATION TO THE GENTILES, And the glory of Your people Israel." Luke 2:33 And His father and mother were amazed at the things which were being said about Him. 1 John 2:8 On the other hand, I am writing a new commandment to you, which is true in Him and in you, because the darkness is passing away and the true Light is already shining. 1 John 2:9 The one who says he is in the Light and yet hates his brother is in the darkness until now. 1 John 2:11 But the one who hates his brother is in the darkness and walks in the darkness, and does not know where he is going because the darkness has blinded his eyes. |

2 Cor 11:3 But I am afraid that, as the serpent deceived Eve by his craftiness, your minds will be led astray from the simplicity and purity of devotion to Christ 1 Peter 5:8 Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Ephesians 6:12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless, the firm foundation of God stands, having this seal, “The Lord knows those who are His,” and, “Everyone who names the name of the Lord is to abstain from wickedness.” NASB |

590 | Is it God speaking?? | James 1:5 | Val | 213358 | ||
Dear Lissamz, anyone can pick out a verse here and there and justify their stand. However, that is not really a reliable way to read scripture. Imagine if you received a letter and focused only on one sentence. Unless you read the entire letter you wouldn't have a clue what the author's message was. This is what you must do with every book of the bible. Start with prayer asking God the Father and His Son Jesus Christ with the help of His Holy Spirt to open the eyes of your understanding. Treat every book of the bible as if it were a letter. For instance, the book of Isaiah is a letter from God's prophet Isaiah. Learn all you can about Isaiah; who he was, what time period he was from, who he was sent to talk to, then learn all you can about his audience. Who were they? where were they? what was it like in their lives then? Was there war? Was it a time of abundance, etc. Now look at all the references to God. What was He speaking that time through Isaiah? Was He pleased? Was he upset about anything? Read the letter Isaiah wrote about thirty times. Stop and meditate on the topics he addresses. Write down any questions you have. Get a bible dictionary and look up any words you do not understand. Get a concordance and look at cross references where the same word is used. Finally look at what different commentators have said about Isaiah's letter. By this time you have spent a considerable period of time studying Isaiah's letter. You will have heard from God. This is bible study. This is hearing from God. Sincerely, Val |

591 | Need Clarification on Asking/Receiving | James 1:6 | Val | 205253 | ||
Dear Pastor Tim, do you think the doubts means that he doubts he will get an answer or he doubts who God is since down further in the chapter it says "he is unstable in all his ways" and later refers to those who may confess Christ or give Him lip service but are not "doers of the word". Thanks, Val | ||||||
592 | Is this The Right Tongues?!!!! | James 1:20 | Val | 197674 | ||
Again I would direct your focus away from the gift and to the giver, our Lord Jesus Christ. Take your bible and mark every reference to Him. The next step is to write out by hand each of these verses. Start in Matthew and go through Revelation. Meditate on these verses and memorize them. Talk to Him in prayer. Use the verses you have studied in your prayers to Him. He will lead you in all truth through the power of His Spirit. May you grow in the grace and knowledge of Him. When you finish this exercise do the same with the Father God and after this exercise do the same with the Holy Spirit. Also mark pronouns and other words referencing them. May God bless you. When you finish these exercises let us know what He has taught you. Merry Christmas. | ||||||
593 | Is this The Right Tongues?!!!! | James 1:20 | Val | 197677 | ||
Just focus on one book at a time. For instance, Matthew. When completed go to Mark. I am not omitting the Old Testament. I am providing a starting point. Its the best way to study and has been proven to be the best way for retention of what has been studied. I hope you will try it as well. You might try one of the short books that has only 1 to 5 chapters. Once you have done it let me know what you learned. God Bless. Oh by the way, do you know what God commanded the kings of Israel to do the first thing when they became king? | ||||||
