1 | Does God Say No For Greater Good? | Heb 2:14 | always4him | 111846 | ||
I love the light that this scripture sheds in my heart! I read it over and over and it is so true and it answers my questions… as always God’s word does and it leaves me at peace with my circumstances; even though they may not change, I will. I also read this verse today and it showed me that even though the disciples who walked with Him… in person, an advantage that we do not have, they still had doubt, fear and felt inadequate; but that was also good because it as the scripture says… so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God… the truth is… all things that we go through will cause our faith to rest in Christ! Thanks for your help in pointing me to the truth! It was appreciated! PTL! 1 Corinthians (amplified) 2:2 For I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. 3 I was with you in weakness and in fear and in much trembling, 4 and my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, 2:5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom of men, but on the power of God. |

2 | What is the heavenly calling? | Heb 3:1 | always4him | 111789 | ||
This verse is supposed to be me… a Christian… a person who has accepted Jesus Christ into my heart… so then… consider (think, judge, deem, mull over, reflect on, believe) Jesus. I think of how God has called me to know Him more, more deeply… not just on a shallow worship foundation, but a more intimate walk… where do I go from here as I read this above verse? I know that I have a passion to know Him more.. I feel a determined purpose ignited in my soul! (Philippians 3:10 [For my determined purpose is] that I may know Him [that I may progressively become more deeply and intimately acquainted with Him, perceiving and recognizing and understanding the wonders of His Person more strongly and more clearly]) I know this is what I want, but clearly my plans and my purposes interfere with this… clearly I want my own way, my frustration, discouragement and lack of trust witnesses to this. I want God to do things my way, I want to dictate my plan.. I think it is better.. I think I know best what I want. I wonder if the problem is found in the above verse where it says if I am consecrated and set apart for God … Who share in the heavenly calling… What is the heavenly calling? Do I share in it? Is my heart undivided when it comes to the heavenly calling? I don’t know. I am not sure what this heavenly calling refers to. Do any of these verses explain the heavenly calling? Is there a verse that does? I want to know if I am sharing in the heavenly calling! Philippians 3:14 (amplified) I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus. John 17:3 (amplified) "This is eternal life, that they may know You, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent. Philippians 3:3 (amplified) For we [Christians] are the true circumcision, who worship God in spirit and by the Spirit of God and exult and glory and pride ourselves in Jesus Christ, and put no confidence or dependence [on what we are] in the flesh and on outward privileges and physical advantages and external appearances-- |

3 | Does God Say No For Greater Good? | Heb 2:14 | always4him | 111785 | ||
Is this verse saying to me that Jesus does not always deliver us from the hard things of life, the places where dreams die, the places of extreme betrayal, the places of hurtful disappointments, the physical sickness that rack our body, the places of no understanding…. Is this verse saying that because like Him, Jesus “going through” the death was more valuable and brought more life than if He was to be delivered from the process. Going through death of dreams, hopes, plans… going through physical disease… could it be that we don’t see good the same ways as God does, He sees this as good because it voids out the power of evil, making no effect the power of death… the devil’s power… it voids it… God has a greater plan… it is not our way.. isn’t that better than asking to be totally relieved of the trial, temptation or suffering and God says no or wait because He wants us to “go through” therefore making the devils scheme and power ineffective. Is this what this verse is saying? | ||||||
4 | Mormonism - Cult or Satanic Cult | Bible general Archive 1 | always4him | 77361 | ||
Mormon.. what is it? Is it a cult? Is it a satanic cult? In the light of eternity answering this question and debating in our own earthy knowledge does not really matter. What matters is that your husband does not know Jesus Christ and have eternal life. He doesn't know the greatest gift ever given to mankind and does not walk in fellowship with Him. That in itself should cause anyone who calls themselves a "Christian" to move in the compassion of Christ and not the judgement of man. What can your brother's judgement and lack of fellowship accomplish? Jesus told us the 1st commandment is to love Him the second is to love our neigbhor as ourselves. Jesus came to give His life for us to love us unconditionally just as we were.. in sin.. and out of fellowship with God... Jesus came to love us into eternity by His sacrificial love. There is no greater love. This is the love that we must love your husband with and this is the love that will show Him the reality of Jesus Christ. I pray that your brother and your husband will come to know, not just know of, but truly know the heart of the Father God who sent His only son to die for both of them so that they might live. Your husband has taken the title of "mormon" your brother has taken the title of "christian" yet Jesus Christ, He is the name above all names and may He reign in both thier hearts and may they both know the reality of the Love of God at work in thier lives. AMEN. | ||||||
5 | Covenant Keeper He Is! | Ezek 37:26 | always4him | 72938 | ||
I think when I read the above verses that the Lord God has kept His Promise to us, His covenant with us. He has blessed us, He has multiplied us and He has given us His Presence in Us. He is our God and He is with us and His Presence in us sets us apart and makes us holy. We are covered in His Spirit, His Robes of Righteousness! He is in our midst forever. Jesus. | ||||||
6 | His Yoke? | Matt 11:29 | always4him | 71997 | ||
What does He mean by His Yoke... take My Yoke upon you. What is His Yoke? | ||||||
7 | Be Thankful For What You Have! | Mark 8:6 | always4him | 65096 | ||
I love this verse because it shows the beauty of being thankful for what you do have. Jesus gave thanks first for what He did have and out of that thanksgiving flowed forth enough provision for everyone to eat and be satisfied. Awesome! | ||||||
8 | The Unity Of The Father and The Son | John 14:21 | always4him | 65094 | ||
The heart of Jesus really comes out in the above scriptures in how He wants us to believe that He and the Father are one. It is a great heart's desire for Him,see how He speaks to Phillip with almost what seems like disappointment. He truly wants us to know Him and believe that He and the Father are one. It is important to Him. He finalizes this desire by saying that those who love Me will be loved by My Father, showing once again the unity, the oneness between the Father and the Son and the importance of us believing the relevance of the trinity from the beginning to the end... | ||||||

11 | His Right Standing Establishes My Place | Ps 89:16 | always4him | 63340 | ||
In His right standing with God I am exalted. It has nothing to do with me. It is all about Him. It is about what He did for me to get right standing with God, not about what I do, but about what He did. It is all about Him. Jesus The Name Above All Names. | ||||||
12 | What is the highway toZion? | Ps 84:5 | always4him | 61699 | ||
What does that mean... the highways to Zion.. what are the highways to Zion.. just curious if my heart is like the highway to Zion. | ||||||
13 | What are evergreens of Lebanon | Hos 14:5 | always4him | 61698 | ||
I am studying about being more "rooted" in Christ. I find that my faith is very shallow, so it interests me about these trees. Cedar Trees, do you know anything about the tree itself. What does it look like.. the root system.. if you do let me know. Thanks | ||||||
14 | What are evergreens of Lebanon | Hos 14:5 | always4him | 61365 | ||

15 | Psalm 63! | Is 58:10 | always4him | 61144 | ||
The source of my sustenance is Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords. I love Him so much and I want to live in His Presence each moment of my life. I am not a charismatic, I am simply a person who believes in Jesus Christ and my belief has led me to know that His Holy Spirit lives in me. I have been sealed by His Spirit and I love the Word, it is a constant strength and encourgement in my life. If you are looking for a good debate on the capitalization of Diety, I am not the person to be talking to. I am just not interested in shallow knowledge, I want to go deeper, I want to know God more, I want more of Him and less of me... I want my life to be about Him and not about me. The Holy Spirit draws me to Him and I respond, I spend time with God.. precious time and I am learning... I don't want to go off and chase bunny trails... I want to follow the lead of the Holy Spirit because He knows what I need for my life... getting knowledge is not why I am in the Word... I don't have the need to be a biblical scholar to "know" things... I want to know Him... I want to become more like Him... I need the strength and wisdom that the Word brings into my life and I want to be transformed by the Word, the Living Word... not because of Me, but because of Him, because of the desire of Jesus Christ that all men would come to Him... go ye therefore into the world... I am not the "doing" kind of person... I don't need to please people... I just want to "be" found in Him, in His Presence. It is in His Presence that I am filled to overflowing and His Presence pours out to others...I am Simply His. | ||||||
16 | Psalm 63! | Is 58:10 | always4him | 60872 | ||
As I abide in Christ, In His Presence I receive inner strength, peace, comfort, wisdom, grace, mercy all of these which I receive in abundance, overflowing... it sustains me and I can also pour it out to others who are in need in this dry and thirsty world; I can give the living water that is so freely given to me. I can love with the unconditional love that He showers Me with; I can walk in the character that I see in Him, and find in His Presence; I can speak His truth and comfort with His comfort and I can lead others to the source of my sustenance, this wonderful awesome God who is my all in all. When I pour out His Presence in me then His light will rise in the dark places of my world and I will walk in His purpose as His joy is fulfilled in me. | ||||||
