1 | claiming things in your life | Is 53:5 | CDBJ | 136501 | ||
I am glad that the Lord has blessed you so abundantly but your post has me somewhat perplexed, you stated; “Trust me they are not to Christian children starving those that are starving don't belong to God” For starters, why should anyone trust you? Secondly, by your statement, are you suggesting that Paul the apostle wasn’t a child of God? There seems to be a difference of opinion between what you are suggesting and what Paul wrote. Incidentally the word that Paul uses for hungry come to us from the Koine Greek, infinitive, present, active of PEINAO which carries the following conation; to famish (absolute or comparatively); figurative to crave be an hungered. ie. Paul has experienced and it currently in such a condition. This is only a minor part of what the risen Lord said would happen to him! Acts 9:16 For I will shew him how great things he must suffer for my name's sake. Paul, getting back to the subject of viewpoints, affirms these conditions. Philip. 4:11-12 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content. [12] I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need. I lean a little heaver on what Paul says when the words “Trust me” are used!! Now you are trying to assure us that these thing won’t happen to a true Christian? You might want to consider the following? Hebrews 12:1-7 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, [2] Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. [3] For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds. [4] Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin. [5] And ye have forgotten the exhortation which speaketh unto you as unto children, My son, despise not thou the chastening of the Lord, nor faint when thou art rebuked of him: [6] For whom the Lord loveth he chasteneth, and scourgeth every son whom he receiveth. [7] If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? Have a great day, CDBJ |

2 | claiming things in your life | Is 53:5 | SamtheShocker | 136540 | ||
I have been young, and now am old, yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken or his children begging for bread. Psalm 37:25 (ESV)I know a guy that lost his business his condo and his car and he doesn't miss a meal. He gave a testimony the other night how he doesn't know how he is going to eat his next meal but God keeps making a way out of no way for him to eat. Someone will give him money or someone will invite him over to eat and so forth. And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Phillippians 4:19 food is a need therefore I just don't see christians starving. |

Well my friend I must say you sure haven't heard of what's going on in some of the foreign countries to brothers and sisters in Christ who are being starved!!!! I suppose, “just because you didn’t see it”, the holocaust enforced by Hitler didn’t take place either? When one actually thinks about it all we, as humans, really need is salvation through Christ and when we get to glory we will have everything and God will have supplied it. Romans 8:17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. Enjoy your next meal, CDBJ |
