243 | knowing forgiveness to others | Matt 6:12 | prayon | 110910 | ||
Greetings renovateme, Eph 6:12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the world's rulers, of the darkness of this age, against spiritual wickedness in high places. What you are experiencing are attacks of the enemy. When one knows they are in line with God's word we are a threat to the devil. The last thing he wants is for us to be in that place. I would venture to say that as concerned as you are about it you are walking in forgiveness. If you weren't so concerned about it you would not be seeking help. When someone hurts us as in the situation with your daughter is is hard to forgive but I sincerely believe that you have. The most important thing is to re-establish the relationship with your daughter now, and I am guessing you have. If you were still harboring unforgiveness I don't believe that you would of led your ex to the lLord. Again in the situation with your brother that is the work of the enemy trying to keep you from walking in God's love. Somebody once told me to pretend that when you asked forgiveness for something from God that He cast that sin into a lake. In front of the lake is a sign that says "No Fishing!" Once you have asked forgiveness you have been forgiven. No if's, no ands, no buts. YOu are totally forgiven and your slate has been wiped clean. If He did not forgive us when we asked (with a sincere heart of course) then His trip to the cross would of been of no value. So that if any one is in Christ, that one is a new creature; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new (NKJ 2Co 5:17) or God's Word Bible even puts it better: "Whoever is a believer in Christ is a new creation. The old way of living has disappeared. A new way of living has come into existence." You are a new creature! The old has gone according to God's word! Put the past behind you and whenever the devil tries to rear his ugly head ask the Holy Spirit to put him back in his place. Christ promises us that when we are born again He sends the comforter to us. He would not send Him (the comforter) to us to live in us and not hear us. That is just another attack of the enemy. He does hear you! You say yourself that you do not feel angry so why do you say you are holding on to your anger? You are not - you say so yourself. The anger is past - you are the new creature the bible talks about. Ask the Holy Spirit to help you to forget. He will. If you ask every time that it comes to mind I promise you that it will come to mind less and less. The devil will come to realize that you are not available for that kind of attack any more. I sometimes think that I am horribly deficient in my prayer life. When I do feel like that I just ask the Holy Spirit for help. I truly believe that it helps immensely to pray in tongues. (that is another topic if you were to ask about it). I would suggest that you do what I do when you feel like your prayers aren't good enough - just talk to Jesus like you would talk to your best friend. Get angry with Him if the need be, it is OK, after all He already knows you are angry - it's not like you can hide it from Him. Just talk to Him like He is sitting across from you - tell Him your concerns. aLook at what the word says about how you feel and if you can't find it in the word get on the forum and ask. We are here to help you when the need arises. You are the awesome child of a King! prayon |

246 | what is the role of the HS in my life? | John 7:39 | prayon | 110817 | ||
Greetings becky272 and welcome to the forum, You have found a great place to have your questions answered. To look at these passages we must include v. 37. Jesus is making an appeal here, "If anyone is thirsty let him come to me and drink". "Blessed are those who thirst after righteousness will be filled" (Matt 5:6). What ever you seek after will fill you. If you seek after worldly things then worldly things will be what fills the inside of you, but if you seek after God and the HOly Spirit that is what you will be filled after. In verse 38 it says "out of his (your) belly (innermost being) will flow rivers of living water. Here, Living water, running water, which the Hebrew language calls living, because it is still in motion. This water represents the HOly Spirit which has come to fill you. In the Old Testament God was for the Israelites and was with them but in was not in them. God is for us and with us today but we also have something better - He is actually in us - the part of God that is in us is the comforter Jesus sent us - the Holy Spirit. The graces and comforts of the Spirit are compared to living (meaning running) water, because they are the active quickening principles of spiritual life, and the earnests and beginnings of eternal life. Jesus promised immediate inner and permanent personal satisfaction. Believing on Jesus results in having living (moving) water within one's being (Joh 4:14 But those who drink the water that I will give them will never become thirsty again. In fact, the water I will give them will become in them a spring that gushes up to eternal life.") This promise directly refers to the coming of the Holy Spirit to swell within believers. The promise was fulfilled historically at Pentecost (Acts 2), and applies to every believer. He didn't come to visit for a few days. He came to dwell in you. As for what He wants to do in your life, When you were saved or born again the HOly Spirit entered your life. One thing is He came as our guide. When the Spirit of Truth comes, he will guide you into the full truth. He won't speak on his own. He will speak what he hears and will tell you about things to come (Joh 16:13), not only will He guide us into all truth but He will also guide us in the truth of God's word. He will also guide us in life. Look to Him to give you direction. Whatever decision you have to make throughout the day - from what shall I wear to where should I go today ask the Holy Spirit. That is what He is there for - to give you direction. When you are sad or troubled ask the Holy Spirit for comfort - He will give it. That is what he is there for. I have a question for you. Do you feel a peace inside of you? If you do that is because the HOly Spirit lives in you. There is so much more to know about the HOly Spirit - I have only scratched the surface. If you click on my name it will give you my profile. My e mail address is on my profile. Feel free to use it please. I would consider it an honor to correspond with you and encourage you and answer all your questions. May God bless you and keep you. prayon |

247 | that she may show reverence as do] the a | 1 Cor 11:10 | prayon | 110717 | ||
Greetings mommapbs,The reason that women were told to wear coverings on their head was because in the Corinth culture prostitutes had to shave their head. Once they were saved they had to wear coverings on their heads so they would not be advertising that they were prostitutes. because of the angels; various are the senses given of these words, some taking them in a proper, others in a figurative sense: some in a proper sense of angels, and these either good or bad. Tertullian (e) understands them of evil angels, and that a woman should cover her head in time of worship, lest they should lust after her; though much rather the reason should be, lest they should irritate and provoke lust in others: but it is better to understand them of good angels, who attend the assemblies of the saints, and observe the air and behaviour of the worshippers; wherefore women should cover their heads with respect to them, and not give offence to those pure spirits, by an indecent appearance: it is agreeable to the notions of the Jews, that angels attend public prayers, and at the expounding of the word; they often speak (f) of an angel, äîîåðä òì äúôìåú "that is appointed over prayers".

Greetings Lulu and welcome, I like what mommapsbs said but I just wanted to add that the best thing that you can do for your parents is to be Christ-like. What your parents have seen in the church is unfortunetly very prevalent in today's churches. The behavior though needless to say is not that which Christ seeks. Show your parents what true Christianity is about - loving one another and serving Him humbly but joyfully. prayon | ||||||
249 | I need a explaination of why God quests | Job 38:2 | prayon | 110247 | ||
Greetings IwomanofGod and welcome to the forum! In this book we have, 1) The history of Job's sufferings, and his patience under them 2) A dispute between him and his friends upon them, in which, The opponents were Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar. 3) The issue of all in Job's honour and prosperity, Upon the whole, we learn that many are the afflictions of the righteous, but that when the Lord delivers them out of them all the trial of their faith will be found to praise, and honour, and glory. God had listened to all of their accusations of each other and of Him throughout the first 37 chapters. In chapter 38 it is God's turn to speak. In verses 1-7 God reveals His omnipotence to Job. He never did explain to Job why the things happened that did He just asked Job if He was ageless, powerful, wise and perfect as God. Throughout chapter 38 and 39 God asked Job repeatedly if he could do all the things that God had done. In the beginning of Chap 40 Job apologizes but God still issues him a challenge to try and do the things that He had done. The chapter continues with God unleashing another round of rebukes to Job. IN chapter 42:1-6 Job finally truly confessed and repented to God. Job still did not know why he had suffered like he did but he quietly bowed in humble submission to God and admitted that He was sovereign. If you have any questions please ask. prayon |

250 | 'Reinvented' Gospel | 2 Tim 4:3 | prayon | 110168 | ||
Greetings New Creature, I too have to agree with the article. Too many pastors today are watering down the gospel to make it sound more appealing to people. It is so sad. Many people are not hearing the true word of God. There are a few reasons I believe that this is happening. 1) Pastors want large congregations and will do whatever it takes to get one. They know that if they step on people's toes that they are going to loose those people from their congregation. 2) Another reason is that some pastors do not want to loose their financial contributors. They feel that their church will go under if they do not have these people to give. What they don't understand is that if they would just trust in God they would be just fine. 3) Another thing is that they want popularity. preaching the true gospel is going to step on toes. These Pastors however in the end will have to answer to God for their watered down messages. prayon |

251 | Fasting and prayer | Matt 6:18 | prayon | 110167 | ||
Greetings, Fasting is designed to weaken the flesh and to strenghthen the spirit. Jesus views fasting as a voluntary way to attain humility and for reflecting on God's word. God looks at your true motive for fasting. It does not matter that you only spend 2 hours in the word. He would not want you to neglect your daughter or your responsibilities. I might add that we are to "Pray without ceasing" (1Th 5:17) so even if you are not able to have more study / prayer time than you are you are still able to pray. Praying in tongues does not neccessarly cause you to hear more from God but what it does do is have you praying in line with God's word. "Likewise the Spirit also helps our infirmities. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered." (Rom 8:26) The majority of the time our flesh wants to pray what we think is needed but when we pray in the Spirit we pray for that which we do not know about "For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays, but my mind is unfruitful. (1Co 14:14). As for how long to fast, fast for however long the Lord lays it on your heart to fast whether it be 2 hours or 20 days. What matters is that you are in obedience to Him. prayon |

255 | parts of the bible | Bible general Archive 2 | prayon | 109609 | ||
Greetings and welcome to the forum. Exodus was believed to be the first book of the bible written in the 15th century B.C. The Bible consists of two great parts, called the Old and New Testaments, separated by an interval of nearly four hundred years. These Testaments are further divided into sixty-six books, thirty-nine in the Old Testament and twenty-seven in the New. Twenty-two of them are historical, five are poetical, eighteen are prophetical, twenty-one are epistolary. They contain logical arguments, poetry, songs and hymns, history, biography, stories, parables, fables, eloquence, law, letters and philosophy. There are at least thirty-six different authors, who wrote in three continents, in many countries, in three languages, and from every possible human standpoint. Among these authors were kings, farmers, mechanics, scientific men, lawyers, generals, fishermen, ministers and priests, a tax-collector, a doctor, some rich, some poor, some city bred, some country born -- thus touching all the experiences of men extending over 1500 years. The Old Testament was written in Hebrew, a Shemitic language, except that parts of the books of Ezra, Daniel and one verse in Jeremiah were written in the Chaldee language. The New Testament is written wholly in Greek. The present division of the whole Bible into chapters was made by Cardinal Hugo Deuteronomy St. Gher about 1250. The present division into verses was introduced by Robert Stephens in his Greek Testament, published in 1551, in his edition of the Vulgate, in 1555. The first English Bible printed with these chapters and verses was the Geneva Bible, in 1560. Hope this answers your questions. prayon (MacArthur Study Bible, Smith's Bible Dictionary) |

256 | remembering those not in Heaven | Rev 21:4 | prayon | 109608 | ||
Greetings angelpenned, No, I don't believe we will. Rev 21:4 says that God will wipe away all tears from our eyes. And there will be no mourning, nor crying out, nor will there be any more pain. I base my answer on this verse. How could we have no mourning or tears if we know that one of our loved ones did not make it to heaven but ended up in the lake of fire? There is no way I would be mourne free if that happened. prayon |

258 | Being friends w/a married man; adultery? | Lev 20:10 | prayon | 109175 | ||
Greetings Vala, I agree with mommapbs, the bible does not prohibit friendship. But I want to remind you of the following scriptures. We must also use caution in our actions so that we do not lead others astray. Although the friendship may be strictly friendship others may not see it like that. A ababy Christian may see you and feel that since you are 'in a relationship' it must be ok. Mat 5:29 "But if your right eye causes you to stumble pluck it out and cast from you, for it is better for you that one of your body parts perish and not your whole body be cast into hell Rom 14:21 It is good not to eat meat nor to drink wine nor by which your brother is caused to stumble or is made to fall or becomes weak. 1Co 8:13 For this very reason, if food causes my brother to stumble, I shall never at all eat flesh into the age, so that I do not cause my brother to stumble. prayon |

259 | Free from Israel and their God | John 3:16 | prayon | 109171 | ||
Greetings, Imagine 2 colors, black and white side by side. That's the way it is with Jesus. Either you accept Him or you don't. There is no gray area, you can not just pay Him tribute when you want. I don't need to free you from Him, you are quite capable of making your own decision. It is your choice whether you decide to walk with Jesus or not. Jesus never said that being a Christian was easy, in fact He promises us that we will face persecution. But The benefits far outway the short time here on earth that we will be facing perscution. I urge you to way the consequences carefully. You appear to know the bible so I think that you know what you will face eternally withouut Jesus. Today is here but tomorrow is never promised. prayon |

260 | can i pay my tithes to my mother? | 2 Cor 9:7 | prayon | 109147 | ||
Greetings Sonny and welcome to the forum, The answer to your question is no. Malachi 3:10 tells us to "Bring one-tenth of your income into the storehouse so that there may be food in my house. Test me in this way," says the LORD of Armies. "See if I won't open the windows of heaven for you and flood you with blessings. The storehouse refers to God's house. By not bringing your tithes to the storehouse you are being disobedient to God. We are required as Christians to take care of God's house and God's appointed pastors. This is done by tithes. When the tithes are not paid the priests / pastors are deprived and will have to give up doing God's work to find a job. The peoples religious will be hampered and some may suffer because of it. That certainly is not God's plan. In the NT there is not specific law of tithing, but this does not imply that we are to give less than was required of the Isrealites. Instead it is implied that we should give more because the grace of God to us is more fully revealed. While the tithe is not mentioned as such, proportionate giving is clearly taught in 1Cor 16:2: Every Sunday each of you should set aside some of your money and save it. Then money won't have to be collected when I come. Much is said about giving liberally and joyfully, and 2Cor 9:6-8 teaches that rewards in the day of Christ will commensurate with the degree of sacrificial giving now. YOu said that you do not presently attend church. I have no idea why but I will say that YOu need to find a church home. Jesus tells us that we need to fellowship with other believers. He also tells us that we are to keep striving for knowledge and growth. We grow by being taught which is what should happen in church. If you do not want to attend your previous church then ask God for direction to where He wants you to be. By not attending church somewhere you are robbing yourself of a multitude of blessings. Until you do find a church home I would say to ask God where to send your tithes. Is there a TV ministry that you watch regularly? prayon |
