1 | In Matt 25: 6 is it about us being ready | Matt 25:12 | JoyBell_1943 | 157383 | ||
There was nothing touchy feely about my question as the scripture is posted and the question was very clear and not emotional. At my old age, my purpose was to share scripture first and then ask the question for us all to examine our Holiness and readiness for the bridegroom. There is a definate contentuous attitude lacking love in your sharing and there was no intent on my part to do anything but challenge us all to study to show ourselves ready to go. Sad about your assumption of me, all I read and all I care about is each day lining my life up to the word of God, living it each day and I too, have God's Spirit in me. Please don't give me your opinion as it has tarnished my purpose for the question. Sad. | ||||||

Each one concentrating not on anyone else..only washing their own lives and being at a state of readiness to be watchful and listening for the Lord to take us home. Each of us have different doctrines, different versions of the Bible and each of us has a unique calling of God. The soundest doctrine I want is to be in me for teaching and admonishing me and guiding me so I can be a vessel of honor for Jesus. Being filled with the Spirit is not going to be disected here in anything I write, nor do I mention any preference in any version that anyone chooses to read and study from. In these last days, let the love flow out of cleansed filled with God vessels. Separate all the knowledge, and for each of us to not rather teach or preach or share scripture but to each take care of our own vessel in preparation. The letter of the law kills but the Spirit gives life to the hearers. Oh..To be filled with God is to be empty of your own existance apart from His moment by moment presence in us, filled with His word in our spirit, not carrying a book around, but allowing verses to come up in us to teach us so all that comes from us is love, joy, peace, and we are cleansed ready vessels excited to be with our Lord. I may speak, sing, pray in tongues more than some, but it would be senseless if I did not flow like a river with His love and joy and acceptance of every soul HE wants to bring words of life to. Out of the abundance of our hearts, does our mouth speak...just a note here, I am a simple woman who has memorized in her heart scriptures for 55 years and not minded myself in things too high for me. God just gave me this simple sharing today and this was not meant to be a Bible quiz question. One thing I will not ever get into on any question is to find fault or argue or be in any contentuous discussions. Here,,,The lamp signifies your vessel; your body and house. The container we leave behind when we hear that mighty shout. Only those who watch, and only those who stay filled and ready and burning bright will Jesus recognize as His own bride. Those who have cleansed themselves,,,hear me, those who have cleansed themselves, washed their own and are standing in white linen which signifies the righteous acts of the saints of God. Pure, Holy, sanctified and halleluja this ain't my home type of readiness to hear His hand on the door knob of our hearts, amen? | ||||||

The question is: Does the lamp needing oil of the wise and foolish brides represent the readiness and fullness of God's Spirit in us? |

Does the lamp needing oil of the wise and foolish brides represent the readiness and fullness of God's Spirit in us? Matt 25:6 But at midnight there was a shout, Behold, the bridegroom! Go out to meet him! Matt 25:7 Then all those virgins got up and put their own lamps "in order". Matt 25:8 And the foolish said to the wise, Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out. Matt 25:9 But the wise replied, There will not be enough for us and for you; go instead to the dealers and buy "for yourselves". Matt 25:10 But while they were going away to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were prepared went in with him to the marriage feast; and the door was shut. Matt 25:11 Later the other virgins also came and said, Lord, Lord, open the door to us! Matt 25:12 But He replied, I solemnly declare to you, I do not know you I am not acquainted with you. Matt 25:13 Watch therefore [give strict attention and be cautious and active], for you know neither the day nor the hour when the Son of Man will come. The lamp signifies your vessel; your body and house. The container we leave behind when we hear that mighty shout. Only those who watch, and only those who stay filled and ready and burning bright will Jesus recognize as His own bride. Those who have cleansed themselves,,,hear me, those who have cleansed themselves, washed their own and are standing in white linen which signifies the righteous acts of the saints of God. Wanting some of the wise brides oil signifies dependence on others when God expects you to stand alone burning bright and full of that oil which signifies the Holy Spirit. I woke up this morning at five am saying Holy Holy Holy, Jesus you are king of kings and you are HOLY. HOLY is the Lord. There was another time when God shut the door on the ark and He opened it again. He has stood at the door of your heart for years knocking but HE will not open the door and make you yeild your vessel to Him. One day, Jesus will once more shut the door and say I do not know you to those who took no time to keep their vessel clean, their wicks trimmed, their lamps full of oil and burning bright. In 1990 all I had were oil and gas lamps and no electricity where I lived. I had to trim the wicks, keep them clean, fill them, keep watch over them, and also had to constantly watch them so they would not burn black and smoke. At midnight should we hear that shout, will Jesus find us with our house in order and ready to go as that pure and spotless bride? Will we be watching? Will we be ready or having our eyes on other people. It grieves God how you exalt people and behave as though you are of less value then some "ministry" you have decided is the bright burning lamp of promise. God is today knocking at your door and saying,go out, fill your lamp, concentrate on YOUR vessel and no one elses for He is coming soon and we need to do one thing and that is to get our own house in order. |

7 | I want my wife back | Bible general Archive 3 | JoyBell_1943 | 157328 | ||
Thanks for the reply. In every case the Holy Spirit will make it clear. Living a Holy life of righteousness in Christ, the Holy Spirit said my marriage bed was defiled and he was unclean. His pride and his unrepentent heart is why he is not even "seeing" and two years have past and I have not missed him being in my home one day. His idea of forgiveness was to sign my guest book on my web site and that was why he got on with his life and told me to Get a life. Even if you get counselling from man, listen to the Holy Spirit, God forgives you but the sad thing is, you joined yourself to another woman and became one with someone else. God has since blessed me with the most beautiful gentle sweet Christian man I could have dreamed of in my life, so I too, have to be open to make myself vunerable again for a relationship hoping God will keep us one. What sometimes happens is the husband repents, treats his wife "as Christ loved the church" she never lets him forget, and sometimes obeys people and not her heart to reconcile and then you end up being miserable. You may want her back but keep your eyes on your serving Christ and being all for Him and His kingdom and God may raise up a new work for you. | ||||||

Mark, this is not about what you want and it helps very little when you use scripture to say she will be submissive. My husband was pastor of a church with a beautiful Christian submissive wife who would have done anything for him and did. He moved in with a very imoral woman, they went to church together, she even sang, he gave out communion, IN church and out of church they committed their sin. I listened quietly to the Holy Spirit and one day he sent me divorce papers and got a quick 60 day divorce, have not seen him since,,, hey you pray but get on with your service for the king of kings. I tried to get him to have counsel from the men and other pastors but he refused and told the men he had given me ample time to be a good wife. Those who are married are said to live as though they had no spouse so that is how I live in service to Jesus, listen if a man or woman can not honor their vows to God why would marriage vows matter. Sooner or later, a dog returns to his vomit son, so please take it from a loving old woman ... get on with your life and leave her to Jesus | ||||||
10 | What happened to reverential fear? | Not Specified | JoyBell_1943 | 157322 | ||
Today in msn groups there have been many controversies among Christians as to we serve a good God who does not have anything to do with floods that kill people, hurricanes, or earthquakes or big waves that kill thousands. Some have gotten very heated and so I began to study "WHAT" has happened in our world to reverential fear of God and HIS holiness, His words HE spoke as some casually call him the big daddy or big guy in the sky or call him father when they do not know him as father? There is a lack of reverence in sanctuaries and very little trembling in God's presence, so as a result, people think God has absolutely nothing to do with what is happening in our world today. Were we not warned that perilous times would come? Have we not read HOW God spoke? His word says, God has HIS way in the whirlwind and the storm and the clouds are the dust of HIS feet, waves rise at HIS command, He is God people and nothing on this earth happens without HIS knowledge. Why is there such fighting among religious people about the "goodness" or badness of blaming God for calamities of nature? Why do people insist on saying "that is not God?" I have been sharing God's words and saying to folks that God needs to hear us cry out and say,,,Lord God if there be one...just one who is righteous, save them, instead of walking without knowledge of the Holiness and reverential fear of God regarding HIS being God and we are to intercede and maybe He will show mercy but to realize that we are in the last days where there are troubles on all sides and we need to really be aware of Gods HOLINESS. | ||||||

12 | Can one be christian and NOT a disciple? | Luke 9:23 | JoyBell_1943 | 157321 | ||
When we ask Jesus to come into our heart and are born again by His Spirit, we are "Christian." As we yeild our as Paul said "members?" we die to our own will and ways and flesh and the world and pride and we are yeilded to HIS Spirit, and in HIS word...HIS word in us,, the fire of HIS Spirit IN US causes us to then be deciples of others. When we just take a Bible as instructed, or share scripture as we are religiously taught, we have a tendency to antagonize not spiritualize the blind out in the world. ONLY when the HOLY SPIRIT draws us do we become deciples and reach out to the world. We can be Christian, never really participate in study, never yeild our members, and never really produce fruit for the kingdom and our reward will be little in Heaven but we will still have our names written in the lambs book,,,we always need to remember, to yeild so we can be effective for the kingdom of God as the coming of the Lord approaches, for Jesus commissioned his twelve but they all did not go, Samson fell but he is in Heaven just as the thief on the cross thanks be to God's mercy...What we ought to be depends on how we yeild. I hope that helps because the Holy Spirit does not force us to deal with the sins of our flesh, the pride of life, the world that draws us away from serving the king of kings, and the choice is always going to be for us to YEILD to the kingdom. amen? | ||||||
