Hey Brother John How are we to be certain that any particular desire is in accordance with His will? My answer would be by renewing our minds: 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]. Rom 12:2 How would you, Sister M., comfort the child's grieving Mother? I have never had a child, thus never lost a child and thus have no experience with how devastating that can be. The following scriptures comes to mind: Blessed be God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comfort; Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort them which are in any trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourselves are comforted of God. 2 Cor 1:3-4 Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. Proverbs 12:25 A word fitly spoken [is like] apples of gold in pictures of silver. Proverbs 25:11 I would pray for the widsom to fitly speak a good word. Abba Father bless... Meredith |

Hi Brother John :) You’re pulling me in. You’re pulling me in. LOL I thought we had parted company on this particular subject. :) But alas… I’m sitting here smiling as I read your post, then I begin to type… I apologize if I left the impression that I believe that Abba Father will give us something that is not in His will. I believe what 1 John 5:13-15 says: 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. Thus when Jesus said "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].” Mark 11:24, I believe that the asking in this verse has to be in accordance with Father’s will. Also, James tells us about asking amiss that we may consume it upon our lusts (4:3). So when we ask, we have to ask properly (in accordance with His will). I agree with you. I do not believe that God would give us something that would cause us harm. Is it scriptural for me to pray for a Rolls Royce or a Mansion in Malibu? I believe that if you 1. Delight thyself also in the LORD: 2. Then… he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Ps 37:4 Now, I understand that Ps 37:4 says nothing about praying but… if you desire Rolls Royce or a Mansion in Malibu and you have delighted yourself in the Lord, I believe you will get it(them). But ONLY IF you have delighted yourself in Him. LOL on believing God for a goose that lays golden eggs. No need to apologize for the sarcasm. Believe it or not, I understand the passion you seem to have. You said: The bible clearly warns us about the dangers that riches pose. 1 Tim 6:9 "But those who want to get rich fall into temptation and a snare and many foolish and harmful desires which plunge men into ruin and destruction. Is it the riches themselves that pose the dangers or the WANTING to get rich? The reason I ask this is because later in that same chapter (v17,18), those who are rich are commanded to: 1. not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain 2. put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. 3. do good 4. be rich in good deeds 5. be generous and willing to share. In order that they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life. Another reason I ask the question is because Psalm 112 talks about the man that fears the LORD and delights greatly in his commandments. One of the things said about this man is ‘Wealth and riches shall be in his house’. I recognize that the Psalms also have warnings about riches/wealth and maybe we can study that out later :) And if I may, I will agree with you for ‘God to bless you financially according to His will’. OK :), that’s it for me… Abba Father Bless you always…. Meredith |

oh... :( I too love truth and hate falsehood. But alas, I'm not a debater. I'm just no good when sparks start flying(maybe because I'm a woman lol). On my part, things can get way off course and the issue can get lost. I don't doubt the rightness of your heart and may you be blessed always. I guess we have to part company on this one. But I will be around, and every now and then I'll peek in on debates that may be occuring :) Abba Father bless... |

84 | 1 Tim 6:17 | 3 John 1:2 | mbooker | 57488 | ||
Sure... :) As long as the dialouge does not turn into a debate. I'm not interested in proving to anyone that I am right and/or they are wrong. It is my desire to be pointed to scriptures concerning a particular subject. Then taking thoses scriptures and reading them and allowing the Spirit of truth to guide me into all truth. Abba Father bless... :) |

GeeVee I believe I have the same understanding as you do and will continue to follow this thread. I too am curious to know if there are scriptures that denounce God's obedient servants/sons (we are no longer servants but sons (gal 4:7) ) from prospering(increasing) in any area of life. |

Interesting that the root word for denomination is division. Didn't Jesus say a house divided against itself cannot stand? |

'have consideration for the uniqueness of each person in the body of Christ' Brother Robert, you stated in words what I could not. As I have read thru posts today, I have been greived at what I perceive as strife within the body. Oh! that we would all 'have consideration for the uniqueness of each person in the body of Christ' while we remain true to the truth of our Father's word. Abba Father bless you... :) |

Good morning Kalos! I have printed your post and will look up each scripture reference later today. When I was first pointed to 1 John 2:20, I became excited because I learned that I was indeed anointed! Some time later in Sunday school, I made the statement that we(believers) are all anointed and I remember the teacher implying that only ministers/pastors were anointed. I referenced 1 John 2:20 and left it at that. Thanks for the post and scripture references. Abba Father bless you... |

97 | May we be in 'perfect harmony ' | 1 Cor 1:10 | mbooker | 57156 | ||
Good Morning to all my brothers and sisters in Christ. As I was driving home from work yesterday, I was thinking about this forum and the contention that I preceived is present here. I recalled how my mother would get upset when my sister and I were in contention and bickered with each other(though we have not bickered in some years now :) ). I wonder if our Father gets upset when there is contention among us. This morning, while getting ready for work, I was watching a bible lesson on tv and the minister quoted I Cor 1:10. I was especially struck by 'you be perfectly united in your common understanding and in your opinions and judgements'. I understand that we all have been taught different things (unfortunately) about the Word of God, but it is my prayer that we 'come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ' Eph 4:13. It is also my prayer that each one of us: 'give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God' I Cor 10:32 'give no offence in any thing' II Cor 6:3 'be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ' Phil 1:10. It is also my prayer that when we have opposing understandings of a biblical matter, that each of us endeavor to understand where the other person is coming from, then, with a sincere heart, go Papa in prayer and ask that our eyes of understanding be opened (even if we believe our eyes are already open) that we may 'be perfectly united in our common understanding and in our opinions and judgments'. Now... :) Am I saying we should not address posts that go contrary to what we believe? No, I'm not saying that. The scriptures say: 'Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and doctrine 2 Tim 4:2 'These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee' Titus 2:15 (I find it interesting that the above 2 scriptures, while mentioning rebuking also mention exorting) 'This witness is true. Wherefore rebuke them sharply, that they may be sound in the faith' Titus 1:13. And here Paul is talking about the 'many unruly and vain talkers and deceivers, specially they of the circumcision: Whose mouths must be stopped, who subvert whole houses, teaching things which they ought not, for filthy lucre's sake.' Titus 1:10-11 I would also like to say that I AM NOT accusing anyone of delibrately causing contention, so please do not allow the enemy to give a spirit of offence. My only desire is to exhort. And besides that, maybe my perception is completely wrong. In that case, please disregard this entire post. I will sign off with Titus 1:9 Holding fast the faithful word as he hath been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and to convince the gainsayers. Abba Father Bless and Keep each one of you... :) Meredith |

99 | question | Col 2:12 | mbooker | 57099 | ||
Hi dasev I receive your question with love :). The reason I asked the question was because the poster said 'Jesus was quicked by the Spirit during baptism in water' and I don't have that understanding. If the poster is correct, I would like my understanding corrected. arent there some things that we just do not need the answers to? that could be but when I see something that seems contrary to what I believe, I need to know if what I believe needs adjusting or not. isn't there enouhg to DO with what we clearly understand already? for me, a big YES!!! :). And I also want to continue to 'increase in the knowledge of God' (Col 1:10), which means increase in the knowledge of the Word. And I don't impose my curosity on others. When I ask a question, I'm simply wanting to settle any questions I have in my mind. Whew!! Hope I wasn't too long winded... :) Abba Father Bless and Keep you... :) Meredith |
