142 | what is the significance of 2 kings 9: | 2 Kin 9:7 | Val | 198118 | ||
Do a word study on Ahab and Jezebel. That means take a concordance and look up every reference to them. When you do this you will see that Jezebel worshiped idols and led her husband to do the same and he being king of Israel led the people away from God. They worshipped the Baals. The importance of this chapter shows that the living God is God over all governments. It also shows that to rebell against God brings His judgment when we do not turn away from evil and turn to Him and worship and obey Him. Disobedience eventually brings God's wrath. May God bless you. | ||||||
143 | ahabs family prophesied to die... | 2 Kin 10:6 | Val | 198115 | ||
There is a verse that says you reap what you sow. Ahab and his wife were the most evil except for maybe Manessah. They did evil time and again. They did not listen to the prophets. Had some of them killed. It is a dangerous thing to rebell against the living God. God asks us to obey Him. He has that right because He is the creator of all. If we chose to not obey Him we suffer the consequences. He is patient but there comes a time when His patience runs out and then we see His wrath. The point in this is that God is a God of love and has given us a path to be rescued but if we do not accept that path all that is left is judgment. No telling how many heads Ahab and Jezebel cut off so no its not scary. The people were relieved that the evil was removed from their midst. May God bless you. | ||||||
144 | Biblical women who wrote songs | 1 Chr 25:1 | Val | 205178 | ||
If you do a word study on Asaph, Heman and Jeduthun you will see they were chosen to start the choir so to speak. You will see many of their songs in Psalms. As for women you might want to do a word study on song or songs. That might be good starting point. 1 Chr 25:1 Moreover, David and the commanders of the army set apart for the service some of the sons of Asaph and of Heman and of Jeduthun, who were to prophesy with lyres, harps and cymbals; ...

145 | What is the joy of the Lord | Neh 8:10 | Val | 202598 | ||
In the context of Nehemiah verse 17 gives us more insight, Neh 8:17 All the assembly of returned exiles made booths and dwelt in them; for since the days of Jeshua (Joshua) son of Nun up to that day, the Israelites had not done so. And there was very great rejoicing. It was a day of rejoicing and sadness, i.e., mixed emotions you might say. We see this sometimes at weddings, tears of joy. The Lord brought them back to the land. Trusting the Lord gives us joy because in Him we have hope and He gives us strength in the hard times if we rely on Him. Blessings - Val |

146 | being/knowing you are beautiful | Esth 2:7 | Val | 192768 | ||
(There is an account of a beautiful woman called Esther. She used her beauty to save an entire nation. It is a very beautiful story- like a short story-perhaps you might gain some insight from it) Esth 2:7 He was bringing up Hadassah, that is Esther, his uncle's daughter, for she had no father or mother. Now the young lady was beautiful of form and face, and when her father and her mother died, Mordecai took her as his own daughter. Esth 2:17 The king loved Esther more than all the women, and she found favor and kindness with him more than all the virgins, so that he set the royal crown on her head and made her queen instead of Vashti. Esth 4:13 Then Mordecai told them to reply to Esther, "Do not imagine that you in the king's palace can escape any more than all the Jews. Esth 4:14 "For if you remain silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place and you and your father's house will perish. And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?" Esth 4:15 Then Esther told them to reply to Mordecai, Esth 4:16 "Go, assemble all the Jews who are found in Susa, and fast for me; do not eat or drink for three days, night or day. I and my maidens also will fast in the same way. And thus I will go in to the king, which is not according to the law; and if I perish, I perish." |

147 | the voice of Job thunders to Today | Job | Val | 198114 | ||
In the story of Job, he has some friends who come and preach to him. Not all that they said was agreed upon by God. As you read the whole story you see in the later chapters He refutes much of what they say. The bible recorded these conversations but a deep study would have to be undertaken to understand this book. May God bless you. | ||||||
148 | Doe sGod hear prayer of unbeliever | Psalm | Val | 200810 | ||
Zinna, I don't know the context of your situation but I know that God will have mercy on whom He will have mercy. It is His decision what He will hear or not. However, the following passage is given to believers who seem to flip flop. Hope it helps, Blessings, Val James 1:1 James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad: Greetings. James 1:2 Consider it all joy, my brethren, when you encounter various trials, James 1:3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. James 1:4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 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. James 1:6 But he must ask in faith without any doubting, for the one who doubts is like the surf of the sea, driven and tossed by the wind. James 1:7 For that man ought not to expect that he will receive anything from the Lord, James 1:8 being a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. |

149 | The use of question in Bible's text? | Psalm | Val | 214152 | ||
Hopefully it would accomplish a careful, thoughtful reading of the word. By asking questions it causes your mind to think and grasp what is being said. It causes you to look at the context of the passage. It slows you down to where you really look and remember what is being said. It shows you who the author is, the recepients, the purpose for writing, the historical and cultural context. Repeated topics form the theme of the chapter and book. Sincerely, Val | ||||||

151 | god hates sin but loves the person | Ps 5:5 | Val | 216745 | ||
Dear Love, Christ came to rescue the sinner and give him eternal life through the shed blood of Christ on the cross. He paid the sin debt for everyone and when one puts his faith and trust in Christ and his finished work on the cross he receives the gift of eternal life. We are told in the following passages that Christ died for us while we were yet sinners so yes he does love sinners of which we all are. To die without receiving this gift puts one in the position of not having the debt paid for so thus one dies in his sins and we are told the wages of sin is death. Christ loves us all and wants all to come to the saving knowledge of him. It is the goodness of God that brings us to repentance. Yes he loves the sinner which we all are. Here are some references. Do a word study on sinners, love, merciful, eternal life for further scriptures. Romans 5, How much does God love sinners? He loves them so much that he died for them, verse 6. All humans are sinners, verse 12. Christ paid the sin debt for everyone, verse 18, Through the grace of God through His Son Jesus Christ we have eternal life, verse 21 Faith Triumphs 1 Therefore, since we have been declared righteous by faith, we have peace[1] with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. 2 Also through Him, we have obtained access by faith[2] into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God. 3 And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, 4 endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope. 5 This hope does not disappoint, because God’s love has been poured out in our hearts through the Holy Spirit who was given to us. Those Declared Righteous Are Reconciled 6 For while we were still helpless, at the appointed moment, Christ died for the ungodly. 7 For rarely will someone die for a just person—though for a good person perhaps someone might even dare to die. 8 But God proves His own love for us in that while we were still sinners Christ died for us! 9 Much more then, since we have now been declared righteous by His blood, we will be saved through Him from wrath. 10 For if, while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, [then how]* much more, having been reconciled, will we be saved by His life! 11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received reconciliation. Death through Adam and Life through Christ 12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, in this way death spread to all men, because all sinned.[3] 13 In fact, sin was in the world before the law, but sin is not charged to one’s account when there is no law. 14 Nevertheless, death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those who did not sin in the likeness of Adam’s transgression. He is a prototype of the Coming One. 15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if by the one man’s trespass the many died, how much more have the grace of God and the gift overflowed to the many by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ. 16 And the gift is not like the one man’s sin, because from one sin came the judgment, resulting in condemnation, but from many trespasses came the gift, resulting in justification.[4] 17 Since by the one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive the overflow of grace and the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. 18 So then, as through one trespass there is condemnation for everyone, so also through one righteous act there is life-giving justification[5] for everyone. 19 For just as through one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so also through the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. 20 The law came along to multiply the trespass. But where sin multiplied, grace multiplied even more, 21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace will reign through righteousness, resulting in eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. |

152 | god hates sin but loves the person | Ps 5:5 | Val | 216746 | ||
Luke 6, God commands us to love our enemies and we will be rewarded, verse 35 Love Your Enemies 27 “But I say to you who listen: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28 bless those who curse you,pray for those who mistreat you. 29 If anyone hits you on the cheek, offer the other also. And if anyone takes away your coat, don’t hold back your shirt either. 30 Give to everyone who asks from you, and from one who takes away your things, don’t ask for them back. 31 Just as you want others to do for you, do the same for them. 32 If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners love those who love them. 33 If you do what is good to those who are good to you, what credit is that to you? Even sinners do that. 34 And if you lend to those from whom you expect to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners to be repaid in full. 35 But love your enemies, do what is good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Then your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is gracious to the ungrateful and evil. 36 Be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. |

154 | meaning/purpose of life | Ps 73:25 | Val | 219547 | ||
The bible tells us the meaning and purpose of life. As you ready and study and apply the bible each day you will find new meaning and purpose. As you are lead by the Spirit of God you may one day speak to a lost person about the love and grace of God through His son Jesus Christ. Tomorrow you may see a person in neeed and you may be asked to supply that need. It may be a smile to a lonely heart. Everyday living in the spirit will open up new ways to share God's love with others. We are his hands, his feet, his people. The only gospel some people will ever read is the lives of those who follow Him. Follow Him well. Romans 15:1-6 | ||||||

Heb 1:13 But to which of the angels has He ever said, "SIT AT MY RIGHT HAND, UNTIL I MAKE YOUR ENEMIES A FOOTSTOOL FOR YOUR FEET"? Heb 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation? Blessings, Val |

156 | God and the Israelite king sovereignity? | Ps 103:19 | Val | 197133 | ||
God's kingdom is an everlasting kingdom that will never end. An individual earthly kingdom ends when that person dies or is conquered by another. Daniel is a fascinating book about kings and kingdoms. Dan 4:28 "All this happened to Nebuchadnezzar the king. Dan 4:31 "While the word was in the king's mouth, a voice came from heaven, saying, 'King Nebuchadnezzar, to you it is declared: sovereignty has been removed from you, Dan 4:33 "Immediately the word concerning Nebuchadnezzar was fulfilled; and he was driven away from mankind and began eating grass like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven until his hair had grown like eagles' feathers and his nails like birds' claws. Dan 4:34 "But at the end of that period, I, Nebuchadnezzar, raised my eyes toward heaven and my reason returned to me, and I blessed the Most High and praised and honored Him who lives forever; For His dominion is an everlasting dominion, And His kingdom endures from generation to generation. Dan 4:37 "Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride." Also God is the one who removes kings and establishes kings. Dan 2:21 "It is He who changes the times and the epochs; He removes kings and establishes kings; He gives wisdom to wise men And knowledge to men of understanding. |

157 | Can prayer change perfect will of God? | Ps 115:3 | Val | 194962 | ||
We are told from the bible that God desires a relationship with us. In reading in Genesis you will see the relationship He has with Adam and Eve and if you follow that through you will see how He keeps covenant, we call it a legal, binding agreement. The bible is full of stories of how the Creator desires a relationship with His creation and how He loves us. He also tells us about His Son who He sent to die for us so that we could have a relationship with Him. He sent His Son to rescue us and deliver us from the bondage we have in sin and death to give us eternal life and peace in Him. He desires that we love and trust and obey Him. When we do that our will conforms to His will. I would suggest you start a study program on "How to Pray" by Kay Arthur and get a copy of the NASB Inductive Study Bible that has instructions at the beginning of each chapter helping you to study the bible and understand its meaning. Hope this helps. | ||||||
158 | Why is pride a sin? | Proverbs | Val | 194899 | ||
When trying to understand a topic, one of the ways to discover the meaning of a word and its use is to look it up in in its context in the bible and see how it is used. For instance, to the right you will see under "Get Bible Text" a place to "Search word". After entering the word "pride" and click on "Search" a series of verses come up from the bible. To the left of the verse you will see "I","N', and "C". Clicking on the "I" will bring up the defination of the word as it is used in the context. You will see that pride is translated different ways depending on the context. This is essential in trying to understand the meaning. As you look at different verses where pride is used you will get an understanding of what the Lord is conveying in the verse. Pride in the sense of satisfaction with making a good grade is not a bad thing. We do have joy when we do good in our studies. As you study the word pride, you will see as in the case of Nebuchadnezzer - it is when we leave God out of the equation that is a type of pride that sets its self up against our creator in the sense of saying or thinking we don't need Him or we can make it without Him. As you see in Nebuchadnezzer's case, he says I built this and exalted his own self importance. God had to bring him down to show him that all he had was given to him by God. So in conclusion I would say if you acknowledge that God is the one who gave you your abilities and talents and praise and thank Him for the good grades - you will be doing the right thing. I suggest reading the entire Chapter of Daniel 4 to see how Nebuchadnezzar himself explains how God dealt with him concerning his pride. Dan 4:37 "Now I, Nebuchadnezzar, praise, exalt and honor the King of heaven, for all His works are true and His ways just, and He is able to humble those who walk in pride." |

160 | talk with lord | Prov 3:5 | Val | 215335 | ||
Dear Rajeeb, The Lord's prayer is a good prayer to start with. Also bowing on one knee is a good position because it shows your reverence for the Lord. The answers will come to you by way of scripture. I always ask for a neon sign because I want to be sure of the answer. Ask for two confirmations and then continue asking along the way. Also wait for the Lord's timing. Sometimes it takes a while to receive an answer. Sometimes the answer is yes, sometimes no and sometimes wait. Also you can look at the prayers of the great saints of the bible and pray their prayers for yourself and others. Hope this helps. Sincerely, Val | ||||||
