41 | what's the name it claim it theory? | Gal 5:22 | mbooker | 57783 | ||
Hi Estelle After reading your post, the following scriptures came to mind. Mark 11:24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it]. John 15:7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you. 1 John 5:13-15 I write this to you who believe in (adhere to, trust in, and rely on) the name of the Son of God [in the peculiar services and blessings conferred by Him on men], so that you may know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that you [already] have life, yes, eternal life. And this is the confidence (the assurance, the privilege of boldness) which we have in Him: [we are sure] that if we ask anything (make any request) according to His will (in agreement with His own plan), He listens to and hears us. And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him. I have absolutely NO way of knowing, but my question is could the above scriptures be what those who may be labeled ‘name it, claim it’ ers are basing this theory on? Now whether they have rightly or wrongly drawn their conclusion, I know not. But could… is it possible that this theory was born out of these scriptures? As I thought of your question ‘Can we really order God around because it's in His Word?’ the following biblical account came to mind. Exodus 32:9-14 And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people: Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation. And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand? Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people. Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever. And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people. I’m hesitant to say Moses was ordering God around. It appears to me that he was trusting in the covenant that God had made with Abraham, Isaac, and Israel. I look forward to seeing the responses you get to your post. Abba Father Bless… |

42 | Submit . . . unless it hurts? | Eph 5:33 | mbooker | 66641 | ||
My understanding concerning Job: It was Satan, not God, who attempted to slay him. AGAIN THERE was a day when the sons of God [the angels] came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan (the adversary and the accuser) came also among them to present himself before the Lord. And the Lord said to Satan, From where do you come? And Satan (the adversary and the accuser) answered the Lord, From going to and fro on the earth and from walking up and down on it. And the Lord said to Satan, Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who [reverently] fears God and abstains from and shuns all evil [because it is wrong]? And still he holds fast his integrity, although you moved Me against him to destroy him without cause. Then Satan answered the Lord, Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has will he give for his life. But put forth Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse and renounce You to Your face. And the Lord said to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand; only spare his life. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord and smote Job with loathsome and painful sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head. Job 2:1-7 Amp My understanding concerning Jesus: A part of his purpose was for him to die: He said unto them, But whom say ye that I am? Peter answering said, The Christ of God. And he straitly charged them, and commanded them to tell no man that thing; Saying, The Son of man must suffer many things, and be rejected of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be slain, and be raised the third day. Luke 9:20-22 KJV And Jesus answered them, saying, The hour is come, that the Son of man should be glorified. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour. Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. John 12:23-27 KJV Now :), as a woman your statement caught my eye: ‘Please help me see where scripture relieves a wife of the resposibility under God to submit to her husband because it pains, injures, or even kills her.’ The ‘even kills her’ really got my attention. The following scripture came to my mind: A prudent man foreseeth the evil, and hideth himself: but the simple pass on, and are punished. Proverbs 22:3 KJV A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it. NIV I looked up the word for evil at blueletterbible.org: Ra, rah evil, wickedness, wicked, mischief, hurt, bad, trouble, sore, affliction, ill, adversity, favoured, harm, naught, noisome, grievous, sad; other words used to define evil: 1b) bad, unpleasant, evil (giving pain, unhappiness, misery); 1h) evil (hurtful); 1i) bad, unkind (vicious in disposition); 2) evil, distress, misery, injury, calamity; 3) evil, misery, distress, injury; I do not believe Proverb 22:3 relieves a wife from the responsibility of submitting to her husband, but I do believe it is a way of escape for a wife who is threatened with physical pains, injures, or death. And by the way, isn’t assault against the law? Yes it is. And as a citizen of the US, a woman has a right to not have her rights violated. Right? :) Continue in next post |

43 | Submit . . . unless it hurts? | Eph 5:33 | mbooker | 66642 | ||
Post continuation: Paul is a good example of a citizen asserting his rights: The chief captain commanded him to be brought into the castle, and bade that he should be examined by scourging; that he might know wherefore they cried so against him. And as they bound him with thongs, Paul said unto the centurion that stood by, Is it lawful for you to scourge a man that is a Roman, and uncondemned? When the centurion heard that, he went and told the chief captain, saying, Take heed what thou doest: for this man is a Roman. Then the chief captain came, and said unto him, Tell me, art thou a Roman? He said, Yea. And the chief captain answered, With a great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul said, But I was free born. Then straightway they departed from him which should have examined him: and the chief captain also was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, and because he had bound him. Acts 22:24-29 I am going to assume that the chief captain in Acts 22 was a civil authority. Paul himself wrote in Romans 13:1: Let every person be loyally subject to the governing (civil) authorities. For there is no authority except from God [by His permission, His sanction], and those that exist do so by God's appointment Amp If Paul could demand his rights from the civil authorities to whom he was to be loyally subject, is it to farfetched for a woman to act in similar fashion? I do not see an act of disodedience if a woman secures safety for herself if she is being afflicted with physical pains, injures, or potential death. What I see is a woman who foresees evil and hides. Now maybe I’m stretching it a bit because I am a woman, but I’m sure someone will show me the err of my ways :) Meredith |

44 | Why seek healing for this flesh? | Phil 1:2 | mbooker | 75421 | ||
Good morning David!! When I read the title to your post, I thought you had taken ill and I was gearing up to share/remind you of scriputures dealing with healing (personal favorites of mine! :-) ) but then when I read your post... Sometimes (when depression tries to assualt me) I too wonder, why stay here in a world that seems to be getting worse and worse when there is something better - being with Christ... But then I sometimes feel like I am being selfish. After all, the Greater One lives in me and I am more than a conqueror thru Him that loves me and I am an overcomer. So no matter how dark it gets here, we are to let our light so shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify our Father in heaven... You quote Paul's desire to depart. But he also said it was more needful for the Phillippians that he stay... Likewise, I am sure that your 'abiding' here with us is more needful for those you touch with the love of God :)... Another reason to seek healing for our flesh is because our bodies are His temple... as we take proper care of our bodies, we are taking proper care of His temple... I know you will bless the Lord at all times... I will join you... Your Sister Meredith |

45 | Muslim missionaries said to me last week | Phil 2:7 | mbooker | 64086 | ||
to add to what meusing said: Matthew 26:52-54 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword. Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? |

46 | Does God give power to Sabbath Rest? | Hebrews | mbooker | 69711 | ||
Well if you look at Heb 3:7-12: Wherefore (as the Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear his voice, Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in the day of temptation in the wilderness: When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works forty years. Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, and said, They do alway err in their heart; and they have not known my ways. So I sware in my wrath, They shall not enter into my rest.) Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any of you an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living God. Here we are warned about an evil heart of unbelief. Then when we looked down at v18: And to whom sware he that they should not enter into his rest, but to them that believed not? We see that those who did not enter into His rest where those that did not believe. Now look at Heb 4:1-3: Let us therefore fear, lest, a promise being left us of entering into his rest, any of you should seem to come short of it. For unto us was the gospel preached, as well as unto them: but the word preached did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in them that heard it. For we which have believed do enter into rest, as he said, As I have sworn in my wrath, if they shall enter into my rest: although the works were finished from the foundation of the world. Those that believe enter into rest. Now look down to vv 9-11: There remaineth therefore a rest to the people of God. For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his. Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. There is rest for the people of God. I would say yes God gives us the ability to enter His rest. We, however, are told to labour to enter into that rest. Meredith |

47 | Who is guilty as charged? | Heb 10:29 | mbooker | 95002 | ||
At this point, I am lead to vv 26-28. For if we go on deliberately and willingly sinning after once acquiring the knowledge of the Truth, there is no longer any sacrifice left to atone for [our] sins [no further offering to which to look forward]. [There is nothing left for us then] but a kind of awful and fearful prospect and expectation of divine judgment and the fury of burning wrath and indignation which will consume those who put themselves in opposition [to God]. Any person who has violated and [thus] rejected and set at naught the Law of Moses is put to death without pity or mercy on the evidence of two or three witnesses. The WHO who 1. Continues to deliberately and willingly sin (v26) 2. Rejects Christ (v28) My reasoning for #2 is that the writer of Hebrews was comparing the old covenant with the new, the sacrifice of bulls and goats with Christ. In v28, the writer makes reference to those who rejected the Law of Moses (old covenant) being put to death. Likewise, those who reject the Law of Christ (new covenant), there by rejecting Christ himself, remain in death and have not been passed from death unto life (1 John 3:14). That's the answer I believe the Holy Spirit leads me too. |

Could be this passage: For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit: By which also he went and preached unto the spirits in prison; Which sometime were disobedient, when once the longsuffering of God waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is, eight souls were saved by water.

51 | 1 Tim 6:17 | 3 John 1:2 | mbooker | 57400 | ||
Now Abram was extremely rich in livestock and in silver and in gold. Gen 13:2 Amp And the Lord has blessed my master mightily, and he has become great; and He has given him flocks, herds, silver, gold, menservants, maidservants, camels, and asses. Gen 24:35 Amp And Nathan said to David, Thou art the man. Thus saith the LORD God of Israel, I anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered thee out of the hand of Saul; And I gave thee thy master's house, and thy master's wives into thy bosom, and gave thee the house of Israel and of Judah; and if that had been too little, I would moreover have given unto thee such and such things. 2 Sam 12:7-8 And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee. And I have also given thee that which thou hast not asked, both riches, and honour: so that there shall not be any among the kings like unto thee all thy days. And if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as thy father David did walk, then I will lengthen thy days. 1 Kings 3:11-14 It apprears from these OT examples that God did not have a problem with his people being rich. |

52 | 1 Tim 6:17 | 3 John 1:2 | mbooker | 57401 | ||
Deut 8 also shows God not having a problem with his people increasing in material goods. v11 sounds similiar to 1 Tim 6:17's warning v20 sounds a lot like prov 1:32 (For the turning away of the simple shall slay them, and the prosperity of fools shall destroy them) 1 All the commandments which I command thee this day shall ye observe to do, that ye may live, and multiply, and go in and possess the land which the LORD sware unto your fathers. 2 And thou shalt remember all the way which the LORD thy God led thee these forty years in the wilderness, to humble thee, [and] to prove thee, to know what [was] in thine heart, whether thou wouldest keep his commandments, or no. 3 And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every [word] that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live. 4 Thy raiment waxed not old upon thee, neither did thy foot swell, these forty years. 5 Thou shalt also consider in thine heart, that, as a man chasteneth his son, [so] the LORD thy God chasteneth thee. 6 Therefore thou shalt keep the commandments of the LORD thy God, to walk in his ways, and to fear him. 7 For the LORD thy God bringeth thee into a good land, a land of brooks of water, of fountains and depths that spring out of valleys and hills; 8 A land of wheat, and barley, and vines, and fig trees, and pomegranates; a land of oil olive, and honey; 9 A land wherein thou shalt eat bread without scarceness, thou shalt not lack any [thing] in it; a land whose stones [are] iron, and out of whose hills thou mayest dig brass. 10 When thou hast eaten and art full, then thou shalt bless the LORD thy God for the good land which he hath given thee. 11 Beware that thou forget not the LORD thy God, in not keeping his commandments, and his judgments, and his statutes, which I command thee this day: 12 Lest [when] thou hast eaten and art full, and hast built goodly houses, and dwelt [therein]; 13 And [when] thy herds and thy flocks multiply, and thy silver and thy gold is multiplied, and all that thou hast is multiplied; 14 Then thine heart be lifted up, and thou forget the LORD thy God, which brought thee forth out of the land of Egypt, from the house of bondage; 15 Who led thee through that great and terrible wilderness, [wherein were] fiery serpents, and scorpions, and drought, where [there was] no water; who brought thee forth water out of the rock of flint; 16 Who fed thee in the wilderness with manna, which thy fathers knew not, that he might humble thee, and that he might prove thee, to do thee good at thy latter end; 17 And thou say in thine heart, My power and the might of [mine] hand hath gotten me this wealth. 18 But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for [it is] he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as [it is] this day. 19 And it shall be, if thou do at all forget the LORD thy God, and walk after other gods, and serve them, and worship them, I testify against you this day that ye shall surely perish. 20 As the nations which the LORD destroyeth before your face, so shall ye perish; because ye would not be obedient unto the voice of the LORD your God. |

53 | 1 Tim 6:17 | 3 John 1:2 | mbooker | 57450 | ||
1 Tim 6:17-19 Charge them that are rich in this world, that they be not highminded, nor trust in uncertain riches, but in the living God, who giveth us richly all things to enjoy; That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life. From this it appears that the rich can lay hold on eternal life. |

55 | Did Solomon say all is meaningless? | 3 John 1:2 | mbooker | 57468 | ||
Hi Searcher if vanity means meaningless, then yes, Solomon said that. When I referenced 1 Kings 3, I wasn't focusing so much on Solomon but on the God's act of giving him riches and honor. Forgive me for being rude on the 'Does Gal 4:7 we will prosper' in not greeting you. Shall you consult the 'experts'? If you're led to :) Abba Father bless... |
