1 | Self-control..Spirit or Self? | Titus 2:5 | Lissamz | 213738 | ||
Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I'm doing a study of self-control. My question is because the Greek word "sophron" is used in this verse and the word "Egkrateia" is used in Galatians 5:23. Is "sophron" an act that we work out within ourselves, therefore leaving "egkraeia" something that we recieve from the Holy Spirit? Please use Scripture to answer this question. Thanks Saints. |

2 | Greiving the Holy Spirit | Is 63:10 | Lissamz | 213492 | ||
Hello Brothers and Sisters in Christ, I read this verse and cross-referenced to Eph 4:30 and 1 Thess 5:19. What exactly is grieving or quenching the Spirit of God? |

3 | The Humble Jesus.... | Phil 2:8 | Lissamz | 213359 | ||
Hello Brothers and Sisters, I'm interested...Is humility an attribute of God or was it just an attitude of Christ while on earth? I've searched under Christ and humility and Jesus and humility and this was the only verse I could find. Thank you in advance and God multiply His peace to you. |

4 | Is it God speaking?? | James 1:5 | Lissamz | 213353 | ||
I have read all of your discourses and I truly appreciate them. God bless and lead in His way He has for you. I still need clarification. My close friend brought up Is. 30:21 which says "Your ears shall hear a word behind you, saying, “ This is the way, walk in it,” Whenever you turn to the right hand Or whenever you turn to the left." (NKJV) She says that there is Scriptural basis for "hearing" from God and that if I'm not "hearing this word behind me" the problem is me spiritually. She said that I must continue to ask the Lord for help in this area. How do I answer a Scripture reference? Am I just too "simple" or is there more that I need to know from the Lord? |

5 | Is it God speaking?? | James 1:5 | Lissamz | 213320 | ||
I was listening to some worship music and discovered this song on one of my new cds. It's by J. Moss and it is ministering to my situation. I guess God does speak to me in His own special way of relating to me as His individual child. Here are the lyrics...I hope they bless you as much as they blessed me this evening... VERSE 1: Sometimes it makes you wanna cry aloud Sometimes it makes you wanna scream and shout Sometimes you feel like it's unbearable Sometimes the pain is so incredible (Why) Do I feel the way I feel being a Christian and all (it's not suppose to be this way) But who said that it was gonna be easy (nobody) Do I have enough in me CHORUS: How do I feel like holding on How do I feel How do I feel like being strong How do I feel How do I feel like praying on How do I feel How do I feel like pressing on And the answer is JESUS My potion JESUS My covering JESUS My maker JESUS Check it out VERSE 2: Sometimes it's someone that you really love Sometimes they don't know that they've lost your trust Sometimes your heart will last, can't stop beating (thump thump.thump) Anybody ever felt like that (Why) Do I feel the way I do being a Christian and all (it's not suppose to be this way) But who said that the walk would be easy (nobody) Do I have enough in me CHORUS: How do I feel like holding on How do I feel How do I feel like being strong How do I feel How do I feel like praying on How do I feel How do I feel like pressing on How do I feel CHORUS: How do I feel like holding on How do I feel How do I feel like being strong How do I feel How do I feel like praying on How do I feel How do I feel like pressing on And the answer is (JESUS) My Savior (JESUS) The calm in the midst of the storm (JESUS) My Strength and my recourse (JESUS) Everything I need, everything I am (JESUS) The way, the truth and the light (JESUS) Healed by his stripes (JESUS) Deliverer to abundant life (JESUS)) You ought to call him for yourself (JESUS) He's a way out of no way (JESUS) When nothing else could help its (JESUS) When there's no one to talk to (JESUS) |

6 | Is it God speaking?? | James 1:5 | Lissamz | 213319 | ||
Thank You for answering. But I'm wondering...Does this mean that the ones that have talked about this around me have been "over exaggerating" or "over-stating" the truth? I mean they come off so "spiritual" and I seem so "simple." I don't understand it, but the Scripture you quoted does shine the "light" on the situation. I don't have to feel bad anymore because I feel like a "lower-class" Christian, because I don't have to "tak[e] his stand on visions [he claims] he has seen" as something lacking in my life. God bless and shine His countenance upon you, MJH |

7 | Is it God speaking?? | James 1:5 | Lissamz | 213317 | ||
Thank You so much. I do need to look up, because I am well aware of my inadequacies. And I will begin to pray for the Lord to increase my faith. I just wanted to know if I was having a spiritual problem, because of others around me. I know the answer lies within Christ and the Word, and the Holy Spirit at work within me. I will continue to "press in" because I truly love the Lord. Blessing and peace be multiplied towards you, DocTrinsograce |

8 | Is it God speaking?? | James 1:5 | Lissamz | 213299 | ||
Hello, Brothers and Sisters in Christ, My question is a little personal, but I'm desperate. I have read this Scripture for years and asked for wisdom. I have problems, though, because I feel like I cannot hear God. I might also mention that I'm bipolar and have had problems with my emotions and feelings. I feel like I can't discern and hear God. I read the Word daily and seek what it says. I work on what it tells me God wants me to be and how He wants my heart to be before Him. But others talk of God speaking to them and speaking to their hearts. Am I the only one that this doesn't happen to? Even when I feel that it was God speaking to me I think over it again and again until I don't know if it was God or just over-thinking. Please help! I really want to be what God wants, but spend much time in confusion, thinking that I have missed out on God's rhema word to me, because I analyze it out of my mind. |

9 | The Light...? | Bible general Archive 4 | Lissamz | 213014 | ||
The Scripture is John 8:12...It says "Then Jesus again spoke to them, saying, "I am the Light of the world; he who follows Me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life." What is the "Light of life" in this passage? Is it Jesus Himself? | ||||||
10 | The Light is...? | Not Specified | Lissamz | 212986 | ||
What exactly does light mean in the Scriptures? I know it uncovers darkness. I know it uncovers deeds. I know that it is in the Person of Jesus? But what exactly does the light mean for the Christian? | ||||||

12 | Peace's Effect and Result | Is 32:17 | Lissamz | 210532 | ||
Hello, I found this Scripture when looking up reference verses on Romans 5:1. I was truly touched as the Holy Spirit quickened me to look this verse up in several translations of the Bible that I own and online. I think it is beautiful. I wondered though, in the AMP why the first verse says effect, then the second verse says result? Is there a difference and why different words were used? Of course the AMP doesn't have a concordance, so I found no help there. So, anyone have any idea, based on Scripture? Thank you and God bless. | ||||||
13 | God | John 14:27 | Lissamz | 203583 | ||
Hello Everyone..I suffer from Bipolar, which is a terrible ordeal to go through on a hour to hour basis. I cry out to the Lord a lot with just simple prayers like, "Adonai, keep me from hurting myself and others. Abba, help me to keep my sanity right now. LORD, don't let me fall from you fingers." I cry out to the Lord more than anything else I do in a day. I do feel He is listening...matter of fact I know. I stumbled upon this verse tonight in my AMP Bible. "Agitated, disturbed, fearful, cowardly, unsettled" all describe me right now. And to hear Him come down from Heaven and speak this into my heart makes me wail, because He cares that much. Now I know I need His peace. His unmovable peace. His sustaining peace. But I don't know if I can find that peace all the time. When I'm having a break down all that can go through my head are negative, violent thoughts, put there by satan. How do I seek this peace in the bad times. (And I mean bad times to the 100th degree). How have some of you done this and what Scriptures do you use? Disclaimer: I have a psychiartist, and a Christain counselor. I'm not looking for a diagnosis or someone to talk to. I'm looking to the Lord's Word to heal my pain and suffering. Please share anything that you may know or have. Thank you so much. May God bless and shine His countenance on you all. Lissamz |

14 | Hatred..Am I truly a Christian?? | Matt 5:44 | Lissamz | 203582 | ||
Thank you all for your prayers and responses. The LORD has worked in His mighty way that is so amazing that it is unknown to me. I know longer feel hatred towards this person. Only love and a great hope that he will, through God's will come to know Christ as his LORD and Savior. It is just hard to deal with a worldly person in your own house. But this burden is from the LORD, and He has shown me this. I have to fight the good fight of faith and remain in the LORD at all times. (Plus, those "Adonai, please help me right now" prayers have helped a lot. Thank you so much for your support. And thanks for the myriad of responses I have read on other topics on this website. | ||||||
15 | Hatred..Am I truly a Christian?? | Not Specified | Lissamz | 202830 | ||
I have a problem in my life and I can't get over it. I've cried out to God for help and tried to get over it, but it hasn't happened. I actually truly and fully hate someone in my life right now. I have even questioned whether or not I am a true Christian because of this. I can't shake this sin in my life. The person i hate is very close to me and I can't seem to get away. I question if I am to be damned because of this hatred. Please someone answer and give me a place in the Word that I can go to, that I can find my way back to love and not hate. Lissamz |

17 | Gen. 2:24 or Ex 20:12?? | Gen 2:24 | Lissamz | 156948 | ||
Hello Saints, I am asking a pretty difficult question, but this is because I have been placed in a very difficult situation. I am married, recently, and very happy with my husband. His mother on the other hand has all but said that she hates me. We were engaged for 2 1/2 years and went out for 8 months before that, so this is no fly-by-night relationship and I can't see how she didn't see our marriage coming. She is a Bible-toter, that doesn't live her life in any accordance to the Word, with the way she acts and treats others. (Ohh goodness, her mouth is atrocious!!) My husband and I are concerned about obeying Ex. 20:12 and honoring her. We recently heard Chip Ingram's program and he stated that if parents are bringing a wedge between husband and wife then honoring (in our case right now he is listening to her speak negatively about me, our relationship, etc. instead of ignoring her) the parents is not the case. And that in this instance parents should not be honored. I wanted to know if this is Biblical advice, because we are stuck between wanting to honor her and trying to cease the problems in our marriage, because of her negativity. Please answer with Scriptures, if possible. Thank you and God bless. |

18 | Believers and "Alternative" Spirituality | Phil 4:9 | Lissamz | 147060 | ||
Greetings Brother, I am so saddened to hear about your situation and will offer prayer for you and your wife. I would simply ask her one question (and make sure she knows how serious you are): What do you need or require that the Lord God Almighty cannot supply? I would ask her to answer also as seriously as possible. (I am banking on the fact of your intimacy with her as your wife.) Some Scriptures you can refer her to are: Phil. 4:9 "And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus." Is. 59:1 "Behold, the LORD'S hand is not so short, that it cannot save; Nor is His ear so dull, that it cannot hear." Luke 18:27 "..."The things that are impossible with people are possible with God." Try to lead her to the Lord's complete and total sufficience. I am a female and know that we have to be sorta approached from the sensitive end and in a way that we feel we are being listened to. Maybe, she will 'talk' herself out of whatever she is searching for outside of the Lord and find herself being led back to Him. God bless you and comfort you through this and give you all understanding and wisdom in this situation. hidden in Christ, Lissa |

19 | Anointing?? | 1 John 2:27 | Lissamz | 147055 | ||
Hello cast net, I know your concerns, I've had them before too with the board, but I made a conscience choice to obey Jesus. He told us to "love one another" (John 13:34; 15:17; 1 John 3:23; 2 John 5) and what the Lord Jesus Christ said He meant. So, I love my brothers and sisters in Christ and there are a lot of people on this site that truly, honestly follow that command, including BradK, who answered my question on this topic. Praise the Lord that His people are able to believe and apply by faith "O righteous Father, although the world has not known You, yet I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me; and I have made Your name known to them, and will make it known, so that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them." (John 17:25-26) May we all be filled to overflowing with His great love. hidden in Christ, Lissa |
