41 | Operate on faith or endure? | Heb 11:1 | mbooker | 67470 | ||
I will gladly restate what I said: 'I believe that once your mind has been renewed in a particular area (I say particular area because right now I believe renewing our minds is a lifetime process)' 'However, why do you hold the will in Romans 12:2 to be anything but God's revealed will in Scripture?' Respectfully I answer: I was not aware I was doing that. I do believe that if I do not know scripture, then I do not know God's will. As I study the scriptures and my mind is renewed, God's revealed will in scripture is revealed to me. That is a more accurate representation of what I believe... |

42 | Operate on faith or endure? | Heb 11:1 | mbooker | 67450 | ||
Hi EdB As a matter of fact I do pray in the Holy Spirit. You ask why? I pray in the Holy Spirit when I am interceding for someone and do not know exactly what they need prayer for (Romans 8:26). And since I don’t know what they need prayer for, I have no way of knowing which scriptures to take into prayer with me. And when I pray in the Holy Spirit, he makes intercession according to the will of God (Romans 8:27). I also pray in the spirit/speak in tongues to talk to God, speak mysteries and to edify myself (1 Cor 14:2,4) After reading Rom 12:2 in context, I am not sure how taking v2 in context changes what I believe to be a biblical truth: I can, by the renewal of my mind, prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God. You said ‘It really isn't saying we will know God's will in all situations’. What I do is if a situation arises, I look through my Bible and/or seek counsel/direction to scripture from other more mature Christians to find God’s will for that particular type of situation. If I find it (God’s will), then I do 1 John 5:14-15. If I don’t find it (God’s will), then I pray in the Holy Spirit. Either way, prayer according to the will of God is being prayed. |

43 | Operate on faith or endure? | Heb 11:1 | mbooker | 67413 | ||
I would like to add that we can prove what God's good, acceptable and perfect will is. The Amp version of Romans 12:2 is my favorite And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God KJV Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is-his good, pleasing and perfect will. NIV Do not be conformed to this world (this age), [fashioned after and adapted to its external, superficial customs], but be transformed (changed) by the [entire] renewal of your mind [by its new ideals and its new attitude], so that you may prove [for yourselves] what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God, even the thing which is good and acceptable and perfect [in His sight for you]. Amp I looked up the word prove at blueletterbible.org: 1381 dokimazo - prove 10, try 4, approve 3, discern 2, allow 2, like 1, examine 1; 23 1) to test, examine, prove, scrutinise (to see whether a thing is genuine or not), as metals 2) to recognise as genuine after examination, to approve, deem worthy I believe that once you have renewed your mind in a particular area (I say particular area because right now I believe renewing our minds is a lifetime process) then you can 1. prove what is that good, acceptable and perfect will of God 2. ask according to His will When you ask according to His will, He hears you. Since He hears you, you have the petition you asked. 1 John 5:14-15. |

44 | Teacher, when were the 11 rebaptized? | Romans | mbooker | 67007 | ||
Good morning Brother Tim Such a clear and precise post!! (at least to me :) ) While I firmly believe we are saved by grace thru faith and not of works, I struggled with thinking that believing and receiving could technically be termed as a 'work'. Your example was refreshing to me and I especially liked the way you ended this post: The Biblical view of works in quite clear: I believe and am saved then I obey and do good works. Not: I believe and obey and do good works and then I am saved. This is another gospel! I thank God for you and what you share here... btw, I will be looking for an interlinear Bible Thanks again Meredith |

45 | Do all little ones believe? | Matt 18:6 | mbooker | 66762 | ||
Good Morning Brother Tim I have prayed for your daughter, granddaughter, and even the boyfriend. I have prayed for you that you would count it all joy during this trial, that you know that the trying of your faith works patience, that you let patience have her perfect work so that you may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. May you and your family be strong in the power of His might. Meredith |

47 | Did Jesus suffer in hell when he died? | Luke 23:46 | mbooker | 66164 | ||
Good Morning EdB Did Jesus, by his own blood, enter in once into the holy place (Heb 9:12), after he died or after he was resurrected. I ask because of the following passages of scripture: Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God. John 20:16-17 Here, after his resurrection, Mary could not touch Jesus because he had not yet ascended to the Father. And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you. Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. John 20:26-27 But here, he told Thomas to thrust his hand into his side, which leads me to believe that by this time he had ascended to the Father. Meredith |

48 | Which teaching | Matt 14:29 | mbooker | 66158 | ||
Good Morning Pastor Glenn Just this morning I was thinking about the Canaanite woman and the fact that she did not have a covenant relationship with God as the Jews had. She was indeed an 'outsider'. Naaman is definitely a good example of an outsider receiving from Jehovah Rapha. I believed that he believed the report of the little maid from Isreal: And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy. 2 Kings 5:3 I believe that Naaman and the Canaanite woman, outsiders, were able to receive what they desired because they believed/had faith. The following shows some ‘insiders’ who did not receive from the Lord because of their unbelief: And when he was come into his own country, he taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this man this wisdom, and these mighty works? Is not this the carpenter's son? is not his mother called Mary? and his brethren, James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas? And his sisters, are they not all with us? Whence then hath this man all these things? And they were offended in him. But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, save in his own country, and in his own house. And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Matt 13:54-58 And he went out from thence, and came into his own country; and his disciples follow him. And when the sabbath day was come, he began to teach in the synagogue: and many hearing him were astonished, saying, From whence hath this man these things? and what wisdom is this which is given unto him, that even such mighty works are wrought by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him. But Jesus, said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching. Luke 6:1-6 I agree that it’s sad when an outsider seems to trust our Father more than we do. My prayer is that we, the children of the Most High God: 1. will be as bold as lions Prov 28:1 2. will come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need. Heb 4:16 3. will not be guilty of having an evil heart of unbelief Heb 3:12 4. will mix the word with faith so that it may profit us Heb 4:2 5. and finally, may we believe so that we can enter into the rest of God Heb 4:3 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you Meredith |

49 | Where do they go | Luke 23:46 | mbooker | 66037 | ||
Thanks so much for your response Brother Tim!! You were clear and I was able to follow you. The reason your statement prompted me to ask my question was because it (your statement) sounded similiar to what a Jehovah's Witness said to me once. She said that the dead are asleep and I could not reconcile that with Luke 16:20-31. I understand what you are saying. The wicked dead go to Sheol/Hades to await judgement. Now, my question is :) Are those who are presently in the punishment side of Sheol/Hades 1. 'in torments' (v23) and 2. 'tormented in this flame' (v24) as the rich man was? That's what I am trying to understand. If the wicked dead are in a peaceful sleep or are they in torment in Sheol/Hades. thanks again for your time Meredith |

50 | Which teaching | Matt 14:29 | mbooker | 66028 | ||
Good Morning Pastor Glenn When you pointed out the fact that Peter took his eyes off Jesus I thought of this passage of scripture: My son, attend to my words; incline your ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Put away from you a froward mouth, and perverse lips put far from you. Let your eyes look right on, and let your eyelids look straight before you. Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established. Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: remove your foot from evil. Prov 4:20-27 A heart of unbelief is referred to as evil in Heb 3:12. What I get out of this is: As long as I attend to God's Word and incline my ear to his sayings, faith will come (faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God. Rom 10:17). I also see that while 'in the boat', it may be easier to trust and stay focused on the Word (Jesus), but once I step in the mist of the ‘boisterous wind’, I REALLY need to be steadfast in attending to, inclining my ear to and looking right on at the Word (Jesus), so that I won’t be ‘O thou of little faith’ but will be more like the woman of Canaan who had great faith: And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is grievously vexed with a devil. But he answered her not a word. And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us. But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour. Matt 15: 22-28 Meredith |

The LORD is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the LORD is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? I confess that I was tickled at your warning: 'Enter this thread at your own risk' and I chose not to resist the urge pull out the above from my arsenal :). Thanks for answering my question. It appears to me that the reasons Peter began to sank were because 1. he became afraid 2. he was of little faith and 3. he doubted Do you see anything else or something different? Meredith |

56 | Why should we obey God? | Psalm | mbooker | 64171 | ||
Good morning again :) Another scripture that came to mind: No one who abides in Him (who lives and remains in communion with and in obedience to Him--deliberately, knowingly, and habitually) commits (practices) sin. No one who [habitually] sins has either seen or known Him (recognized, perceived, or understood Him, or has had an experiential acquaintance with Him). Boys (lads), let no one deceive and lead you astray. He who practices righteousness [who is upright, conforming to the divine will in purpose, thought, and action, living a consistently conscientious life] is righteous, even as He is righteous. (But) he who commits sin (who practices evildoing) is of the devil (takes his character from the evil one), for the devil has sinned (violated the divine law) from the beginning. The reason the Son of God was made manifest (visible) was to undo (destroy, loosen, and dissolve) the works the devil [has done]. No one born (begotten) of God (deliberately, knowingly, and habitually) practices sin, for God's nature abides in him (His principle of life, the divine sperm, remains permanently within him); and he cannot practice sinning because he is born (begotten) of God. 1 John 3:6-9 Amp |

57 | Why should we obey God? | Psalm | mbooker | 64168 | ||
Good morning Whatever... When I read your post, 1 Cor 3:12-15 came to my mind. While this passage does not explicitly speak of a 'degree of obedience', I do believe that the degree to which you do the good works that Abba Father planned for you to do (Eph 2:10), will directly correspond with the reward you receive (1 Cor 2:14-15). But if anyone builds upon the Foundation, whether it be with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, straw, the work of each (one) will become (plainly, openly) known (shown for what it is); for the day (of Christ) will disclose and declare it, because it will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test and critically appraise the character and worth of the work each person has done. If the work which any person has built on this Foundation (any product of his efforts whatever) survives (this test), he will get his reward. But if any person's work is burned up (under the test), he will suffer the loss (of it all, losing his reward), though he himself will be saved, but only as (one who has passed) through fire. 1 Corinthians 3:12-15 Amp For we are God's own handiwork (His workmanship), recreated in Christ Jesus, (born anew) that we may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for us (taking paths which He prepared ahead of time), that we should walk in them (living the good life which He prearranged and made ready for us to live). Ephesians 2:10 Amp Now… :) If you are asking if a person has to have a certain level/degree of obedience to get to heaven, I think if John 3:16 and John 6:28-29. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believe in him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16 Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of God: that you believe on him whom he has sent. John 6:28-29 Abba Father Bless… |

58 | a Muslim arguement | John 1:3 | mbooker | 64090 | ||
I agree meusing. They must not have read and/or believed: John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. John 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 1 John 3:8 He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil. 1 John 4:15 Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 1 John 5:5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 1 John 5:10 He that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself: he that believeth not God hath made him a liar; because he believeth not the record that God gave of his Son. 1 John 5:20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life. |

59 | scripture on healing | James 5:14 | mbooker | 63657 | ||
Here are a few: So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his maidservants; and they bare children. Genesis 20:17 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. Exodus 15:26 See now that I, even I, am he, and there is no god with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. Deuteronomy 32:39 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of the LORD. 2 Kings 20:5 Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; Psalm 103:3 He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions. Psalm 107:20 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. Proverbs 4:22 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5 Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rearward. Isaiah 58:8 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. Matthew 4:23 When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: Matthew 8:16 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. Matthew 9:35 There came also a multitude out of the cities round about unto Jerusalem, bringing sick folks, and them which were vexed with unclean spirits: and they were healed every one. Acts 5:16 How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. Acts 10:38 Abba Father Bless... |

Hank #2 gave me a chuckle! And I whole heartily agree that we have enough enemies outside the body without having to war within the body. Our Lord and Brother said: A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. John 13:34-35 May all the world know that we are his disciples by the love we have (and show) for one another.
