23 | Terri's Passing | Bible general Archive 2 | Praise Be To God | 147510 | ||
Dear Lionheart: Thank you for your response to my note about Terri Shiavo. You said I should pray for Terri, even if no one else is praying. Well, I DID PRAY for Terri, but someone in this forum asked me to stand-in at my church for Terri and I said that I would, and when it did not happen, I was feeling disappointed. I am sure my pastor had his reasons for not honoring my request, and I do not blame him, but that did not change how I was feeling inside. Prayer changes everything. I was hoping for a miracle, like the ones that I wrote about in an earlier post. Now we must trust God and wait on Him. Janae |

26 | Why don't the "healers" visit Terri? | Is 53:5 | Praise Be To God | 147092 | ||
God can give someone the gift of healing--a special anointing for healing. Benny Hinn has that gift; two women from my church have that anointing, and when they pray for you, healing occurs. It is not THEM doing the healing, but God heals THROUGH THEM. I know, I have been healed of arthritis. I could not even walk. I was prayed for by a lady at church who prays for many and they are healed. Also, my friend in prison found a lump in his body, and the prison doctor found two lumps. I stood in for him while a lady named Margie prayed for the lumps to disappear. She told me after the prayer that she has "a special anointing for lumps and bumps". She has even felt them shrink under her hand as she prays. The next Sunday, I went forward in church for prayer for my friend again, that the lumps would disappear. The next week he was escorted to the doctor and had an MRI. There was nothing there. PRAISE AND GLORY BE TO GOD!!! GOD IS THE HEALER!!! These people who pray for us, they know that God is the healer. If they are genuine, they do not say they are doing the healing. They give all the credit and all the glory to God. PRAISE HIS NAME!!! Janae |

28 | what is salvation and how does it work ? | Eph 2:8 | Praise Be To God | 146459 | ||
No, God won't take it back, but we can remove ourselves. I think this is one of those subjects where we are not supposed to get into a huge discussion about--once saved, always saved, or not. Janae |

29 | lessons for children that lie | Rev 21:8 | Praise Be To God | 146370 | ||
Dear Tonya, God is so good! Wouldn't you know He would help us in this question. Yesterday, I took my little granddaughter, Mollie, to church with me. I stayed with her during Sunday School and Children's Church. The Children's Church lesson was about lying! Anyway, here is what they learned. The Bible verse was Proverbs 19:5: "A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape." And they had the story of Ananias and Sapphira to illustrate what happens to liars. What I learned yesterday in Children's Church, only reinforces what I have already given you previously. Hope this helps even more. (You might want to read this to him in another version, which would be easier for him to understand.) Acts 5:1-11: But a certain man named Ananias, with Sapphira his wife, sold a possession, 2And kept back part of the price, his wife also being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid it at the apostles' feet. 3But Peter said, Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost, and to keep back part of the price of the land? 4Whiles it remained, was it not thine own? and after it was sold, was it not in thine own power? why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. 5And Ananias hearing these words fell down, and gave up the ghost: and great fear came on all them that heard these things. 6And the young men arose, wound him up, and carried him out, and buried him. 7And it was about the space of three hours after, when his wife, not knowing what was done, came in. 8And Peter answered unto her, Tell me whether ye sold the land for so much? And she said, Yea, for so much. 9Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye have agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord? behold, the feet of them which have buried thy husband are at the door, and shall carry thee out. 10Then fell she down straightway at his feet, and yielded up the ghost: and the young men came in, and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried her by her husband. 11And great fear came upon all the church, and upon as many as heard these things.

30 | lessons for children that lie | Rev 21:8 | Praise Be To God | 146235 | ||
Dear Tonya, I am the mother of 5 and the grandmother of 7. For me, the truth has always been the best and only way. The Word of God is the Truth. What I have already given you is my best answer. I do not believe we should sugar-coat the Word of God. The Word of God says that liars will be in the lake of fire along with murderers, sorcerers and idolaters. There is another verse I will give you which may help you to see that the truth will do the most good. It is Jude 1:23: "And others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire; hating even the garment spotted by the flesh." Hope this helps. Janae |

31 | Can you tell me where was jesus for thos | Rev 1:18 | Praise Be To God | 144810 | ||
Thank you, Mark, and thank you for your sweet spirit and pleasant way of saying things. What you say makes total sense because "Paradise" would be Abraham's Bosom, as you say and, the thief was with Him in Paradise. Thank you for making that clear. He lead captivity captive, then the thief would have gone on to heaven with Him. Thank you for your response. God bless you. This makes perfect sense. Janae |

33 | Can you tell me where was jesus for thos | Rev 1:18 | Praise Be To God | 144792 | ||
The tomb was above the ground. The Holy Spirit has told me that Paul was referring to hell. I did not say that Jesus went to hell to atone for our sins. His death on the cross did that. I merely said he went to hell. My intellect tells me that since Jesus took upon his body all the sins of the world, that he would have to go to hell, because that is what happens to the sinner (although, Jesus, himself, was spotless and sinless). He went to hell for us. He died for us, so we wouldn't have to. I don't know what happened while he was in hell, but I know that he won the victory, and the keys to death and hades. When we get to heaven all things will be made known to us. We will find out exactly what happened to Jesus during those three days. In the meantime, we have to listen to the Holy Spirit when He tells us things while we are reading the Holy Scriptures. He wrote them. He is the teacher. The Bible says we need no man to teach us these things, as the Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth. I can't make you see my point of view and I am not trying to. You are free to believe what you want to believe on this point. It will not affect your salvation. But, I do not want to argue about it. I think we should just agree to disagree and leave it at that.

Hi, BradK, My scripture was at the top of my note, and is also at the top of this note. Your scripture, plus verse 10, also, states that he descended:(Now that he ascended what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.)" Since no body knows where hell is, what would you say the "lower parts" is referring to? Certainly, Paul was referring to hell. Janae |

35 | I don't often tell about this, but | Mark 16:17 | Praise Be To God | 144288 | ||
The Lord allowed me to see a demon. It was when I had been saved only a few years, and I joined prison ministries. I fasted and prayed before entering the prison for the first time. While everybody else was eating their lunches and having a good time, I was fasting and meditating. I asked God to show me Jesus in that prison. We were at a maximum custody prison which had a mental hospital on the grounds. The leader of the prison ministry group, a pastor, called all of us workers up to the front where he was preaching so he could introduce us to the inmates. I went forward and while I was standing there, the Holy Spirit came upon me, I can only say, like a dove, and I felt Jesus step inside my body, right through the back of my legs. I started speading in tongues, and it was hard to stop. But I did stop when a man on the other side of the room yelled over to me, "I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God." I did not know it, but it was a demon speaking to Jesus (who was inside my body). I was too young in the Lord and did not know my scripture, or I would have cast that demon out of him! Instead, I said, "Yes, it's the Holy Spirit" for I thought he was referring to my speaking in tongues. I said, "Come over here so I can pray for you." I had to coax him a second time to come over to me, and he did. When he came up to me, I looked into his face, and what I saw was a hideous demon. It was on top of his body, like it had risen to the surface and the face was horrible. The eyes were horrible and black. I still did not know what I was witnessing, and I said, "Oh, you are blind." Let me pray for you. But, he walked away. It was not until I read the scripture of Mark 1:24-26, at a later time, that I realized what had happened. This was an awesome experience, and I will never forget it. But, in answer to your question, yes, there are demons today, and they do oppress believers. Most of the time, we can't see them. But, God allowed me to have that experience, I believe because I was seeking. Janae |

36 | Potiphar's Wife | Gen 36:1 | Praise Be To God | 144001 | ||
In fact, I just had an idea of what you could do. You could write out all the verses in Proverbs about the "strange woman," saying they describe the actions of Potiphar's wife. You could even tie it in with the wisdom verses in Proverbs, showing that describes Joseph's actions. Janae |

Acts 2:4 is talking about the Baptism in the Holy Spirit: "And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance." Peter then spoke with boldness, being filled with the Holy Spirit. And he spoke the words of the Prophet Joel: "And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.: And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit, and they shall prophesy." "Then Peter said unto them, Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost." Being baptized is the outward showing to the world who is our Lord and Saviour. We die with Jesus (going down into the water), and are raised up again with Him (when we rise from the water) in the newness of life. But, being baptized in water is NOT A REQUIREMENT FOR SALVATION. It is a profession of one's faith. When we are saved, WE WANT TO BE BAPTIZED, but it is not a requirement for salvation. Acts 16:31 says: "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." It does not say, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and be baptized and thou shalt be saved, and thy house." Janae. |

Acts 2 is talking about baptism in the Holy Spirit as evidenced by speaking in other tongues--the beginning of the Church. This is not baptism in water. Neither baptism is required for salvation. When you are saved, the Holy Spirit comes to reside within you, but this is not the baptism they are speaking of in Acts 2. Janae. |

40 | Can the Hubble measure the universe? | Jer 31:37 | Praise Be To God | 142048 | ||
I wish our country would spend more money on humanitarian issues, and less on space investigation. My OPINION is, we could travel forever and not reach the end of the universe, because it is expanding all the time. Man is so finite. He should not try to play God. It is not becoming. We were created to worship God. Look at how messed up we've become. All we need to know can be found between Genesis and Revelation. Janae |
