23 | How do we have a good prayer life? | Matt 6:6 | inheavenseyes | 59477 | ||
justme, I am answering your question not because i do have a prayerful life but I'm trying with God's help to be one. There's this song that says "Prayer is the key to heaven and faith unlocks the door , Prayer without Faith is like a boat without an oar... and personally I find this true. I have this routinary prayer time aand to say some i do pray before going to bed,getting up, before meals, before i go out for work , before i read my bible... and it helps me lot i feel lead in everyway though circumstances may come the other way around, the thing is I prayed for it and I know in every result it, Gods answer to my prayer. God answers are prayers in 3 ways, Yes, No, and wait. He says yes when its for our good, He says No when its not for our good and Wait when its not yet the right time for us.Of course the Prayer with Faith is the one that works. The Lord has given as an example to have a prayerful life,He always go to solitary places for prayer, He asked His disciples to watch and pray that they may not fall into temptation. Hebrew 5:7 says " During the days of Jesus life on earth He offred up prayers and petitions with loud cries and tears to the pone who could save him from death,and he was heard because of His reverent submission. Prayer is the way to our Heavenly Fathers heart. He's the line that never gets busy, He's always available , He just need our call Jeremiah 33:3 "Call unto me and I will answer thee and show the Great and unsearchable things you do not Know." Friend, let's start in our own selves to have a prayerful life and share the blessings we receive that they too may know How powerful Prayer is. God Bless! inheavenseyes |

25 | Following His Steps | Matt 16:24 | inheavenseyes | 60724 | ||
Indeed following His Footsteps is Denying Oneself as He has Denied Himself for us to follow. Giving up all Heaven has to offer for a world who did not love Him. I like how Edward Gritt put his words so"let us all, as we are called to it, take up our cross and follow Christ. There is no other way to follow him but to the cross, for he went no other way. By that cross let the world be crucified to us and us to the world. We must bear the cross if we would wear the crown. Let us commit all our interests to the divine management, in readiness cheerfully to endure whatever he shall impose who for us agonized in Gethsemane and Golgotha, and to resign whatever he shall require who gave up heaven and life for us. Let us never consent to exchange the trials which he has prepared, for thrones and kingdoms. "By patient continuance in well doing" through all self-denying scenes, let us "seek for glory and honor and immortality." And it shall "be no grief unto" us "nor offence of heart" when we come to stand on the everlasting hills, by the side of the fountain of life, inhaling immortal joys, and looking back on the trials of the wilderness. When we shall receive the high rewards of faith and patience, and find heaven the sweeter for all the deprivations of this life, it will be no grief to us that we renounced the pleasures and portion of the wicked, and continued faithful amidst all sufferings and crosses. O that the glorious prospects of eternity might smooth down all the ruffles of our impatient minds,-might nerve us with fortitude to meet all the evils with which human life is beset, to bear all with patience, and into the hands of God to give up all our interests with filial submission. Let "none of these things move" us, "neither" let us "count" our own "life dear" to us, "so that" we may "finish" our "course with joy." And then "our light affliction which is but for a moment," will work "for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory," Finally, let us be supported and encouraged by the affectionate address of the risen Saviour to the church of Smyrna: "Fear none of those things which thou shalt suffer.-Be thou faithful unto death, and I will give thee a crown of life." Amen. May the grace of God help us to follow His Steps faithfully not because of the reward but because we Love Him and we want to be Like Him! Godspeed! inheavenseyes |

26 | On signs of the times | Matt 24:29 | inheavenseyes | 60728 | ||
I read posts on the signs of the Second coming and one of these is in Matt. 24:29. May I ask if there had been any record that this prophecy had been fulfilled? We know of wars and famines has been and is already taking place,is there anyone who can supply me answer to this. Thank you! inheavenseyes |

27 | follow-up on the signs | Matt 24:29 | inheavenseyes | 60752 | ||
Pastor Glenn, Thanks for your answer however, can you explain what you mean by not asking if it has happened yet. Are we not to consider the famines, earthquakes and wars that has taken place and is taking place to be the fulfilled and and fulfilling signs of His Second Coming? You said the tribulation is just in a few years, when will these few years be? Thank you and I pray to hear from you again! inheavenseyes |
||||||
28 | follow-up on the signs | Matt 24:29 | inheavenseyes | 60832 | ||
Pastor Glenn, Thank you again but may I continue to ask is that 7 years of Tribulation recorded in the Bible, if so may I know the exact text. Thank you. inheavenseyes |

29 | 7 years of tribulation | Matt 24:29 | inheavenseyes | 60846 | ||
Greetings kalos, So you mean the 7 years tribulation stated in Daniel 9 has yet to come? Isn't this part of the 2300 years prophecy that was fulfilled for when the Messiah came and the cleansing of the Sanctuary? |
||||||
30 | 7 years of tribulation? | Matt 24:29 | inheavenseyes | 60851 | ||
Greetings CDJB, Thanks for the answer though i supposed i'm confuse with which is which, there's a 7 years of tribulation that is yet to come or less than 3 years? Kalos and you both mentioned the book of Daniel which contains the prophecy on 2300 years that has taken place already during the coming of the Messiah. Where did you get this less than 3 years? Is their really text that talks about the exact years of tribulation before Christ Second Coming? |

31 | cleansing of the sanctuary? | Matt 24:29 | inheavenseyes | 60939 | ||
Greetings Searcher! Thank you for u'r answer though we're going far from the tribulation and here you started about the Cleansing of the Sanctuary. Let me ask if the Lord needed to give up all the power of Heaven for man to be restored then is it impossible then that there's cleansing need in Heaven? the cleansing is not for Heaven but for our restoration. Let me share you this: ¡°Cleansing of the Sanctuary¡± After His ascension, our Saviour began His work as our high priest. Says Paul, "Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us." Hebrews 9: 24. . . . For eighteen centuries this work of ministration continued in the first apartment of the sanctuary. The blood of Christ, pleaded in behalf of penitent be- lievers, secured their pardon and acceptance with the Father, yet their sins still remained upon the books of record. As in the typical service there was a work of atonement at the close of the year, so before Christ's work for the redemption of men is completed, there is a work of atonement for the removal of sin from the sanctuary. This is the service which began when the 2300 days ended. At that time . . . our High Priest entered the most holy, to perform the last division of His solemn work--to cleanse the sanctuary. . The coming of Christ as our high priest to the most holy place, for the cleansing of the sanctuary, brought to view in Daniel 8:14; the coming of the Son of man to the Ancient of days, as presented in Daniel 7: 13; and the coming of the Lord to His temple, foretold by Malachi, are descriptions of the same event; and this is also represented by the coming of the bridegroom to the marriage, described by Christ in the parable of the ten virgins, of Matthew 25. The cleansing of the sanctuary . . . involves a work of investigation -- a work of judgment. This work must be performed prior to the coming of Christ to redeem His people; for when He comes, His reward is with Him to give to every man according to his works. In the day of final reckoning, position, rank, or wealth will not alter by a hair's breadth the case of any one. By the all-seeing God, men will be judged by what they are in purity, in nobility, in love for Christ. MARANATHA, p.248 (AUG. 28th) God Bless! inheavenseyes |

32 | 7 years of tribulation? | Matt 24:29 | inheavenseyes | 60940 | ||
Greetings Prayon! Thanks for your concern. There's this follow-up question I'd asked to Kalos and CDBJ which I didn't get an answer, searcher I supposed gave an answer leading to another topic. My questions are these: 1.Is the 7 years of tribulation stated in the Book of Daniel has yet to come or this is the part of the 2300 years prophecy that was fulfilled when the Messiah came? 2. For CDBJ, where did he get the less than three years for that tribulation to occur? I pray that I'll get an answer soon. Thank you! inheavenseyes |

33 | inheavenseyes, 2300 and cleansing? | Matt 24:29 | inheavenseyes | 61068 | ||
Greetings Searcher, I'm sorry i just got the time to visit the forum today. Anyway, Thank you for your answers, and in return let me answer yours to some extent. I think I didn't write "Christ went to Heaven for our restoration." The restoration 'am referring to is the work all for which the heavenly sanctuary is concerned for man's final restoration (if not found wanting). Though your question is fair, does heaven need cleansing or how could a Sanctuary in Heaven need cleansing? Let me bounce back a question for you, what does the sanctuary written in the Bible meant to you ( not on your own interpretation but to what the Bible has to say)? not unless we know what does the Sanctuary really does can we obtain answer to why "Cleansing in the heavenly Santcuary?" Let me share you the the following text, In Hebrew 9:23 Paul says " It was therefore necessary that the PATTERNS OF THINGS IN THE HEAVENS should be purified with these (Blood of the animals); but the heavenly things themeselves with better sacrifices than these(even the precious blood of Christ)." To obtain a further knowledge of the cleansing to which the prophecy points, it was necessary to understand the ministration of the the heavenly sanctuary. This could be learned only from the ministration of the earthly sanctuary; for Paul declares that the priests who officiated there served "UNTO THE EXAMPLE AND SHADOW OF HEAVENLY THINGS" Heb. 8:5 And what was done in type in the Ministration of the earthly sanctuary , is done in reality in the ministartion of the heavenly sanctuary. Its' quite long if I have to write down how Erathly Sanctuary goes for deeper understanding but l'll let ypu have it via email likewise your question on the 2300 years prophecy. I pray that this helps. God Bless! inheavenseyes |

Greetings Searcher, Well I have said mine and yours as well. Thank you for your answers! You asked me what denomination do I belong? I'm sorry but i don't like to make any controversy, what matters is we do all believe in one the same God and I pray that Let there be unity in Diversity( as to denominations each one holds) The Lord will reward us according to the Light we received. Thank you and God Bless! inheavenseyes |

36 | Sin is about a broken relationship.... | Luke 15:11 | inheavenseyes | 60523 | ||
emmaus,inmyheart,timothy paul, berean49, makarios and friends, The text above is in reference to the story used below that would be from verses 11 to 32 let me share you this wonderful article in view of sin, this is from Dr. Dwight Nelson in His book Outrageous Grace. I used to define sin the way you do and i don't say they are wrong but its more excellent in the way Dr. Nelson put it, Sin is not just merely on Behavior but its on Relationship. Let's try to look on how he explained it: Lets go back to the story of the Prodigal Son in Luke 15:11-31 and consider the 3 characters and their understanding of sin. The Elder Brother: What is the elder brother's understanding of sin? We read it in Luke 15:29: " Listen! for all these years I have been working like a slave for you, and I have never disobeyed your command." He's absolutely convince that this is what the father wants- unquestioning obedience and the absence of wrong behavior. To him, sin is wrong behavior, and if he can convince his faher that he has never done anything wrong then nothing can keep him from procuring his piece of the pie. The Younger Brother: We can read Jesus story in Luke 15:31-21: Onverse 18 it say " I will set out and go back to my father and say to him: Fathre i have sinned agianst heaven and against you." Do you see what the younger brother understanding of sin?It, too, is very behavior-oriented. Ask the older brother about sin, and he would start talking about the absence of wrong behavior. Ask the yoinger brother about sin and he speaks of the absence of right behavior. Both sons are consumed with the behavioral model of sin. Both of them beleive that the way to maintain or restore a saving relationship with their father is based on behavior; The elder son feels he needs to demostrate his absence of wrong behavior; the younger son son hopes to win his father over decrying the absence of right behavior. But he father quickly demonstrates to them that they are wrong.And so we are, if we focus on behavior for our understanding of sin. Sin and the Father: Have you noticed what preoccupies the father in the story? He is not nearly concerned with the right and wrong behavior as he is with broken relationships. The boy's model for sin is behavioral- the Father's is clearly relational. If you were to ask the boys about sin, they would talk about broken behavior. But were you to ask the father about sin, broken relationships would be his list concern. The Father defines sin relationally more than behaviorally. If we are to ask if the Father in that story is just like God what then are we going to do about the classic Bible definition of sin, "Sin is the transgression of the Law" (1Jn 3:4) That is a fair question and in response ,let's reflect a moment on the nature of God's law, the ten commanments. At their eternal heart aren't all ten commands a divine protection of every relationship in this life that matter to human being? the first 4 concern our relationship with God our Creator, and the last 6 revolve around our relationships with one another. at its heart the Decalogue is a relational document. So if sin is the "transgression" or breaking one of those relationship-protecting commandments, then by definition and extension, sin is ultimately relationl. Sin is any thought or behavior that jeopardizes either our vertical relationship with God or our horizontal relationship with another human being. Sin, in the beginning and in the end is about relationships. That's when the Father hurries out of the house to each sons, relationship and not on behavior is what's on his mind. Because the pain of separation has been caused by a broken relationship more than broken behavior. Lastly, when a father's child carelessly fall down, a father isn't thinking about the falling down, but the picking up and holding close. A father knows that what changes a child is not a lecture about behavior. What changes a child is the love of a relationship. It is the way with our Father above. Look at him in this story. Why do you suppose he goes flying down the dusty road and slips the family ring back onto the finger of the prodigal son? Because a broen relationship need to be restored! And why does he hurry out of the lamplighted house into the evening shadows to be with his older son? because a broken realtionship needs to be restored. With both sons the driving motivation of the father is relational. I pray that this would help each and everyone to define what is sin really is! SIN IS ALL ABOUT A BROKEN RELATIONSHIP, WHAT DO YOU THINK? God Bless! inheavenseyes |

Does law , faith , obedience has something to do with God's grace? | ||||||
39 | follow-up | John 1:17 | inheavenseyes | 59316 | ||
Thanks kalos! likewise is it okay then to set aside the law since God's grace is whether you're good or bad it depends upon Him if He bestows us His grace? And what about faith, what is the role in God's grace? Moreover, are disobedient has any place in God's kingdom? | ||||||
40 | follow-up | John 1:17 | inheavenseyes | 59379 | ||
Kalos! That was great, I praise the Lord for you making these things clear to me. In short, these three has its own role if we truly believe the Lord. God Bless you, friend and may you continue to shine for Him! inheavenseyes |
