141 | How do you "share the Gospel?" | Matt 28:18 | Asis | 100375 | ||
He wants to do the work through you. [same idea different way of saying it]. If I do it then I can boast, "Look what I have done for God." If he does it through me who can I boast in? Do it by demonstration of the Holy Spirit. When Jesus baptizes us in the Holy Spirit we have an experience. Mine was being overcome by the power of God and the next day speaking with other tongues. Tongues is one way which God uses to give evidence of Jesus baptizm with the Holy Spirit but the evidence is not limited to tongues. When your spirit get energized by the Holy Spirit you know it. This baptism of which we speak is for service. God promised that He would give us Power from on High. He turned 11 disciples into apostles on the day of Pentecost. What is your hearts desire? Have you had an experience of the cross. Do you die to self daily? When I am not functioning in Him as He desires I get convicted. Which leads to repentence. I know I am in Him because He says I am in Him. I know I am a son of God and His righteousness just because I believe Him. This is how I know He said it. (Numbers 23:19; Romans 3:4) I have had an experience of Him. His promises have become a reality in my life. Proverbs 3:5,6; Proverbs 4:20,21. There are no steps to do just trusting to be.(Yoda) Asis |

142 | God's or ours | Matt 28:18 | Asis | 101282 | ||
Ray We have been born again by beliving God. Our spirit, our inner man, has been reborn by the Holy Spirit. Our spirit has been made perfect, complete again . . . RE generation. The Spirit of God and our spirit are in union. They work as one. When God tells us to do something it is through this union that the action is relayed. Our spirit communicates with our mind will and emotions, our soul. Our soul moves our body to talk, lay hands, pray, etc., complete the action. If we walk by the power of our soul rather than the power of our spirit (Holy Spirit power) then whose action is it? God's or ours? |

Ray I want you to know that I was suprised when I did not see my question on the Homepage. I did not get a Email that you had responded. I find it interesting that this thread is restricted. Any how. How does the Spirit do His work on the earth. What mechanism does the bible show. How does it work in the new tetament believer. I am in union with Christ. 1 Cor 1:30, 2 Cor 1:23. My spirit resides in my heart and the Holy Spirit dwelling in me reside in my heart. The heart being the center of a man's being. The Spirit of God does His work through our spirit. Yea? God's power comes through our spirit? Nay? What do you think. Check my profile and send me a letter that you have responded |

How are you gonna perfect your soul? If you could do it what is the point of Jesus death on the Cross and the promise of the Holy Spirit. God breaks every barrier we have between Him and us with trials/tribultions. Temptations are nothing more than temptations. The world's way or satan's way of asking you who do you choose? God or us. Our soul, our thinking, our doing it is not the way of God. That is what Adam did in the garden. He chose to do it his way instead of what God wanted. We are God's sons just because we believe God. Romans 8:14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. [KJV] Romans 8:15-17 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. [16] The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: [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. [KJV] It displeases God when WE do the work. the only way to please God is Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. [KJV] God wants you broken and contrite. Kowing that you can do nothing of yourself. Asis |

145 | Please explain Mark 8:28-30 | Mark 8:28 | Asis | 83477 | ||
The world views things in relation to the past. We take those who we think are great in our eyes and compare them to those of the past. A good baseball player may be compared to "Babe" Ruth. A great actor to Humphrey Bogart. So when the disciples are asked what the PEOPLE say who Jesus is the answer is one of the prophets of old, the greatest being Elijah. When Jesus asked, but who do YOU say I AM? Peter asnwers "the Christ (anointed One, Messiah) of God. god spoke the answer through him. It is only through the revelation of God that we know who Jesus is. In Matthew 16:15-17 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? [16] And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. [17] And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. [KJV] Before God revealed Jesus to me He was just a prophet, a good man, a Godly man, but just a man. God opened up the eyes of my heart and revealed who Jesus was and I fell on my knees and called Him Lord. Just like you. |

Lastday Couldn't this verse refer to the Holy Ghost's coming at Pentecost? I think it should be looked at in conjunction to Matthew 3:2; 4:17; 4:23; 6:33; 9:35; 10:7 just to name a few. He will physically reign on the throne of His kingdom when He returns. Check out Colosians 1:13. Asis |

Last day Physically, yes, just like we may, but we have eternal life and will not die as those before us. John 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life. [KJV] John 10:28 And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. [KJV] John 17:2 As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. [KJV] Acts 13:48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified the word of the Lord: and as many as were ordained to eternal life believed. [KJV] I have eternal life and will not taste death. 2 Cor. 5:6-8 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: [7] (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) [8] We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. [KJV] The kingdom of Jesus Christ arrived on the day of Pentecost. God transfered us from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of His Son when we first believed. We were given the life of the God, eternal life and ushered into the family as though we are natural born of God. Romans 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: [KJV] Could it be that Rev 12:10 is refering to a past ocurrance in time. Something that has already happened. Remember Luke 10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven. [KJV] Could Jesus have been refering to something in the future of in the past? Did you read Colosians 1:13? Were we transfered into a powerless Kingdom. I wonder. Asis |

Lastday Did they all die before the Spirit of promise came and endued them with power? Did they all die before they received eternal life? Then the question becomes did all who were with Jesus in Mark 9:1 stay with Him or did some leave when the sayings got too hard? The most important question is "Why does this matter." Will knowing this bring me closer to Jesus? Asis |

Hank Jesus chastisement of those gathered in this episode is for unbelief. We also tend to picture the scribes and pharasees as going around always trying to trap Jesus. Now they did do that but some were looking for the truth. Is Jesus in deed the Messiah? Remember that Nicodemus was a pharasee and He sought out Jesus. It seems to me that the disciple's inability to remove the demon was because of their unbelief. The king James has this verse Mark 9:28-29 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? [29] And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting. [KJV] There is a debate about the words "this kind." Is it the demon or is it the subject of the story unbelief. I know that in the past I would pray for people to receive healing and I would not doubt that God could and wanted to heal them. I believe God heals. Then I broke my leg and laying on my couch, I prayed for my healing and my unbelief was exposed. I believed with my head not with my heart. I think this is the condition that the disciples found themselves in. Over and over Jesus gets on the disciples case for unbelief a lot. In fact every time I find myself in a trial it comes down to believing what God has said He will do or what He has already done. Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart and lean not on your own understanding. He calls out to us BELIEVE. Hebrews 11:6 --Jeff |

Good Evening Ken Jesus was stating the power of faith. Even a faith as a mustard seed, which is a very small seed, is capable of doing whatever we say. We can speak to our troubles in faith and see them move. Faith even mustard seed faith can move mountains. Matthew 17:20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you. [KJV] Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye shall ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive. [KJV] Mark 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. [KJV] Mark 11:22-24 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. [23] For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. [24] Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. [KJV] Luke 17:6 And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. [KJV] John 14:12-15 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. [13] And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. [14] If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it. [15] If ye love me, keep my commandments. [KJV] John 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. [KJV] John 15:16 Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. [KJV] The reality of wonder-working faith is that our hearts are after Jesus so our words are according to our love for Him. It is not about selfish things it is about asking for God things.

Ken Why would God honor a faith that comes from our "Old Man" to bring into exixtance our new nature when He says in Isaiah 64:6 But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. [KJV] Doesn't this verse tell us if it is of our making then it is like filthy rags to God? Asis |

The faith that we have comes from us. Then when we believe it comes from Jesus. What about Romans 12:3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. [KJV] Do you think the faith that Jesus saw in those people whose infirmities he healed was faith given them by God? Peter call Jesus the Messiah and Jesus said that knowledge came from God not man. Couldn't God have given those who believed that Jesus was the Messiah the faith required to believe He could heal the diseases? Now that we believe God, when we hear the word faith comes and we appropriate it. We make part of us and call it my faith. Are we not also to be established in righteousness given us just because we believe God (Romans 3:21-22) Isaiah 54:14 In righteousness shalt thou be established: thou shalt be far from oppression; for thou shalt not fear: and from terror; for it shall not come near thee. [KJV] Jesus told us to have the "God kind of faith" Mark 11:22 And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. [KJV] Literally, "Have the faith of God." Such is possible or it would not be a command. Man was created with God's faith but doubt entered in at the fall (Genesis 3:1-7). Faith is restored in the new birth and if normally exercised and maintained it will grow to fullness and power (Romans 1:5,17; Romans 10:17; Galatians 2:20; Col. 1:23; Col. 2:6-7; 2 Thes. 1:3; 2 Peter 1:1-5).

Jbw The Holy Bible, New International Version Mark 10:24 through Mark 10:31 (NIV) 24The disciples were amazed at his words. But Jesus said again, “Children, how hard it is (Mark 10:24 Some manuscripts is for those who trust in riches) to enter the kingdom of God! 25It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” 26The disciples were even more amazed, and said to each other, “Who then can be saved?” 27Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but not with God; all things are possible with God.” 28Peter said to him, “We have left everything to follow you!” 29“I tell you the truth,” Jesus replied, “no one who has left home or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or fields for me and the gospel 30will fail to receive a hundred times as much in this present age (homes, brothers, sisters, mothers, children and fields—and with them, persecutions) and in the age to come, eternal life. 31But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” We must take scripture in context, that is look at it in the situation in which it was spoken or written. Jesus has just had a discussion with the rich young ruler who couldn’t give up his riches to follow Jesus. He loved them (his riches) too much. Jesus says money can cause us to take our eyes off God. Then He says man can save no one but with God all things are possible. Then the disciples said, “Hey wait a minute, we gave up everything to follow you. We gave up our jobs I had a fishing boat, he had a great tax collecting business, he was working with his ole man and making good money. What about us, we gave it all up to follow you. What do we get?” Its not about getting. Its about commitment to Jesus. Give it all up (Phil. 3:7 through Phil. 3:9 (NIV) 7But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. 8What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ 9and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.) for Him and your reward will be much greater than anything you can attain in this world. He then tells then it doesn’t matter when you choose to follow Him, 30 years ago or a minute ago the reward is the same. I know there are those out there who have a much better handle on the meaning of these scriptures maybe some will respond and give you more points of view. |

Aixen7z4 Consider this: Part 1 fromthe book REVOLUTION by Gene Edwards writer and Home church proponent. "It was about 8:45 a.m. Peter began slowly. "Men and brethren, the people you see here are not drunk, as some of you are saying. It is not even 9 a.m. yet." This concluded Peter's entire planned message. But, even as he made this simple explanation, he noticed that the whole crowd was standing, expectant and silent, wanting some further word. At that moment a thought flashed through his mind. He had told them what all this was not. Why not tell them what it was! Peter proceeded. He began explaining exactly what had taken place in the upper room by quoting Joel, an ancient prophet. Little by little, Peter unraveled the seeming mystery of the morning's events. Again, he would have stopped, but by this time he was aware that the multitude was hanging on every word. Suddenly something broke in Peter. The message of Christ burst from him in a torrent. For one long moment everyone stood spellbound. His words struck like fully bowed arrows. Suddenly someone from the vast crowd shouted out, half yelling, half crying, "What must we do to be saved?" The Holy Spirit, so new in His work upon the earth, had moved throughout the entire multitude. There was no one in that throng who had ever had an experience like this, the experience of being convicted of sin by the Holy Spirit. Peter quickly ended his talk. His finish was just as unplanned as his beginning. In one short thunderous sentence that was heard the length and breadth of the whole temple area,Peter roared the answer: "Repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ!" That was all. Instantly, the other eleven sensed that more should be done. They began moving among the people, exhorting, proclaiming, explaining, declaring, and answering questions in all languages. After all, in a crowd this vast Peter's words could not have been clearly understood by all. Each of the eleven took up a spot in the crowd and began answering questions and proclaiming Christ. As it turned out, all of the twelve shared in the experience of declaring Christ to the limitless throng. Until now, there had been only one type of follower of Christ: there had been 120 believers in the upper room. But as the eleven moved out into the crowd something new happened. Now twelve of the 120 were unique. Now there were 108 disciples and twelve Apostles. The first office in the church was now fully born and fully operating! As the twelve Apostles proclaimed the Gospel to the thousands of people in the street, the festival was forgotten. The people turned to hear the Apostle nearest them. They were deeply moved. It was evident that God had endowed twelve men with great power: hundreds were being saved through their corporate witness. By the time evening came, some three thousand people had marched together out of the city gates, down to the Kidron River and been baptized. (It is possible the site might have been in the city at one of the pools ... perhaps the Pool of Bethesda.) It was a wonderful, glorious day, a day of praise, and a day of great joy. There had never been a day quite like it in all of human history. The Holy Spirit had descended from heaven, something heavenly had come to earth. The church had been born in 120 believers. Apostleship had been established. The church had grown, in its first day, from 120 to about 3,120. The day of Pentecost is over. Tomorrow is the second day in church history. Tomorrow is the first day the church meets. In a few hours now, the temple grounds will be filling up with 3,000 new converts. Monday. The real beginning of the practice of the church. The twelve Apostles will go out and join that meeting. What will they say? What are their plans? Undoubtedly, the twelve men must have, though there is no record of it, gotten together to figure out the answer to that question. If they did get together for such a meeting, the results must have been quite an eye opener! The problems they face are so gigantic they almost defy understanding. Sunday had its glory; Monday has its problems! |
||||||
158 | What did the disciples understand? | Mark 10:30 | Asis | 96719 | ||
PART 2 What were the problems facing the twelve? First of all they were obviously in the wrong town. These men were all Galileans; Galilee is the land of country people. But look at them now! Here they are in the great, sophisticated capital city of Jerusalem. They do not belong here. They had come here for no reason except to hold a prayer meeting. They only arrived eleven days ago! They had no thought of staying. Why be here at all? Why don't they go home ... now? They will stay! They will stay because eleven days ago the Lord told them to stay! And He had a very deliberate reason in selecting Jerusalem. But His command had put them in a mess. Here they are, in Jerusalem, with no money, no jobs, and no place to live. There is no Galilean Sea in Jerusalem for these unemployed fishermen to cast their nets into. Furthermore, this city, of all cities, is not friendly to them. Less than two months ago the local government here sentenced their Lord to death. To say the least, they are not liked. They have a second problem. Where will they sleep? Where will they eat? How will they make a living? Most of the 120 had probably been "camping out" in the upper room for the last eleven days. (It is even probable that "living with all things in common" was born right there in the upper room.) How could they begin a new work of God on this earth when they were flat broke and in such a ridiculous predicament? These were the problems of the twelve. They were serious problems all right, but nothing compared to the problems faced by the rest of the 120. Let's look at their problems! The 120 are also Galileans. They, too, had been following the Lord around for over three years. They, too, own nothing. (They had obeyed the Lord's injunction to drop all and follow Him!) Their homes and jobs, if in fact they still have any, are in Galilee. Certainly they have nothing in Jerusalem. Nor do they know anyone in Jerusalem. The 120 are unemployed, broke, and in a hostile city. So, together, the 120 and the twelve have some very serious problems. But the Apostles and the 120 have no problems at all compared to the 3,000. They have problems! You see, most of those 3,000 people should be packing their bags right now. They should be getting ready to head back home ... in caravans and on ships! Most of these 3,000 people do not live in Jerusalem or in Galilee. Nor is Judea their home. The vast majority of the 3,000 live hundreds and hundreds of miles away. They have mountains to climb, deserts to trudge, rivers to forge and seas to cross to get home. Certainly the 3,000 have nothing in Jerusalem! There is absolutely no reason for them to stay here. These 3,000 converts had come to Jerusalem just a few weeks ago as pilgrims-tourists-with the idea of staying for a very short time. For many of them the pilgrimage to Jerusalem was a once-in-a-lifetime event. Like most tourists they had brought just enough money to get them through the festival. As a result, today they have very little left in their pockets; they certainly have no jobs; they have no homes; most do not even have a place to sleep tonight; they have very little clothing; at best they have enough food to last for a few days. Simply put, the 3,000 are foreigners, they are a long way from home, they are broke, jobless, and homeless! Now that is a problem! So you begin to get an idea of the titanic mess the Apostles faced. But this is by no means the end of the list. Look at this! Here is a church with 3,120 believers and it has no -place to hold meetings! Where can you possibly get 3,000 people together in one place in a city of I 00,000 people all of whom live in one square mile? Now you can clearly see what the twelve Apostles were up against. Monday morning had all the makings of a disaster. Obviously there was only one solution to this whole problem: send everyone home and forget the whole thing. A problem this big just has no other solution. The Apostles could very easily have done this. They could have sent the 120 back to Galilee; they could have told the 3,000 to go on home as planned. That would have been reasonable. But Monday is just not going to be a day to be reasonable. Monday will be a day to be new!! Things never done before in history will be done Monday. From the book REVOLUTION by Gene Edwards Copyright by Gene Edwards MCMLXXIV ****The preceeding parts 1 aqnd 2 are BIBLICAL FICTION. However, it does make sense. It is not recorded in scripture and just and opinion and SHOULD NOT be taken as the absolute facts. Aixen7z4 I ask you, "why did the believers in Jerusalem share but the believers in the new church at Antioch not". At least there is no mention of the same kind of activity as at Jerusalem. Just something to think about. As my friend Ken would say "Interesting. . . Very interesting." Asis |

It is OK as lonG as you see it for what it is . . . fiction, an opinion AND NOT THE WORD OF GOD. I think you need to reread what CDBJ wrote in response to your inquiry. Do not look at scripture out of context. Jesus is talking about those who have money and will not separate themselves from it. Mark 10:23 And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God! [KJV] They were astonished at what He had just said and . . . Mark 10:24-25 And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God! [25] It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God. [KJV] He is taking about the love of money. And of course anything we love above God is an idol. God is a jealous God and does not like it when His children love something more than Him. Mark 10:26 And they were astonished out of measure, saying among themselves, Who then can be saved? [KJV] They did not understand His sayings (since it is the desire of man to be rich, we think it is the end of all our troubles). Mark 10:27 And Jesus looking upon them saith, With men it is impossible, but not with God: for with God all things are possible. [KJV] Man cannot remove himself from the love of money, masn cannot save himself. But God can do anything Here is where we get to it. Peter says what about us? We gave it all up to follow you. I had a great fishing business, John and James also, Matthew was a Tax Collector and we all know they have lots of money. Every one of us walked away from good jobs and houses and family. (All my additions not found in scripture). Mark 10:29-31 And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel's, [30] But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. [31] But many that are first shall be last; and the last first. [KJV] I'm gonna tell you God does supply all my needs. He has given me a new family and yes mi casa es su casa. When I have been in need my brothers and sisters in the Lord have responded and I have not gone in want. Our attitude though must be answered by the question, "How poor are you willing to be for Jesus?" The answer is a heart condition. Seek first His Kingdom and righteousness and all this will be provided. That is a reality in the life of the believer not a promise to come. Does that make it clearer? Or are you after some lands and houses and money instead of our Lord. IN THE LOVE OUR LORD Asis |

160 | The Holy Spirit was guiding them? | Mark 10:30 | Asis | 96727 | ||
As a true worshipper, disciple, we do nothing of ourselves, rather our entire lives are guided by our Lord. What was necessary in Jerusalem after Penetecost was not necessary in Antioch. A diferent time and different circumstances. But the same God leading His people. When Paul said,Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. [KJV] He is telling us that Jesus guided His life 24/7. It is not Paul who lives. It is Christ in Him who lives. The life Paul lives is by leaning on trusting in COMPLETELY, ENTIRELY in Christ. This is the position we, the disciples now and then, ascribe to. Being instruments of righteousness played by the master musician Jesus. Is that clearer? Asis |
