Hello there! Feel free to join this Public Bible Study group: no major commitment required, though. https:///KdWI0pji5U7EQNFYz83eHc or add me on 07033476343. Peace with you. |
James 5:11 KJV Behold, we count them happy which endure. Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy. Romans 5:3-5 KJV And not only so , but we glory in tribulations also: knowing that tribulation worketh patience; [4] And patience, experience; and experience, hope: [5] And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is shed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghost which is given unto us. |
Eviana:Right, but I personally don't quite think there is need for the titles anyway. I think because is the norm in most organization everywhere, that's why it gets a bit more difficult for some genuine, Christlike servants of God to not have light on it. Moreover, I'm sure that not using titles doesn't make anyone necessarily holy either.. I think some has got no titles but have the wrong spirit alike: you call them brother, but must spell it out with the B in capital (Brother... Not brother...). All exalting the flesh. We must just ensure to seek to decrease and let Christ increase in our lives. May the grace and peace of The Lord be with you. |
Askme2020: ChristisGod:Yeah, I think CodeTemplar was quite right: Man = Spirit (conscience), Soul and Body. Animal = Soul and Body Plant= Body What distinct Us from animals is the Spirit: there are no religious monkeys or dogs. Yeah, you could train them to entertain you, and play religion, though. They don't Repent of sins to God either: the goat just grabs your first meal, and gives you thanks at a distance, while mulching down the last bit (no sorry, no repentance). *Now, the Soul: Mind (thinking faculty), Emotion (feeling faculty: joy, fear, anger, sadness, etc), (I think God connects all these with the Brain in the body to make them active) AND *Will* (deciding faculty/Choice = to do/obey or Not to do something/obey). *Body: Of course, all the parts: eyes, mouth, ears, hands, legs (these are the major parts we CAN USE to Sin), stomach, hair, etc. Spirit/heart (conscience) is where we have the awareness of God, it's something of God, though not perfect but if submitted to the Holy spirit, it can know what's wrong or right: the perfect will of God. Jesus wants us to worship him with pure heart (conscience), by yielding our souls and bodies as living sacrifices holy and acceptable to God. Romans 12:1 You can read this article later: not my church though: https://www.cfcindia.com/basic-christian-teachings/03-the-power-of-choice We should ensure to live above the level of the animals' lifestyles: food, sex and sleep. But to make our Spirit/consciences Alive in Jesus. May Jesus Bless You. |
God's mighty hand is not just about dishing out grace and blessings to people, but also for correction, discipline and even punishment (eternity in hell: for those that refuse his correction). Things that come naturally to mind immediately we get into troubles or some sort of calamities are: how to get the solution or cure; whom shall we tell; how much will it take to fix it; how long will it stay; how can we hide or escape it? Etc. This is because we're so earthly minded: laying our dusty treasures on sand which will be destroyed by fire like the old time was destroyed by water (Noah's time). Now that main activities like businesses, fun, education and all others are being interrupted back-to-back, MANY are offended or panicky, not responding to God's mighty hand Humbling us to turn to him; to draw closer to him, and forsake our wicked ways. Not only about the pandemic and problems associated with, there are other numerous things boiling in people's lives that God is trying to use to reduce them down: to make them start seeking the kingdom of God first, and have all other things added to their lives. Alas, we wouldn't listen. We prefer to seek the vaccination, next button to press, the magician or healer, a rich man, a powerful prophet, etc. Only to get disappointed or frustrated. Even those we are seeking have got worse problems sometimes. What are the things God is using to Break you right now? Even before the pandemic, can you still see them yet? It's time to Listen and Respond to the call! Will we pick it up? How long are we going to have a think about it? It's time to be Humble: to Repent of sins. To Repent of empty church religion and worldliness. Time's running out! The end is near: death/the great tribulation (to be followed by the Rapture) Matthew chap. 24 & Luke chap. 21. 1 Peter 5:6-7 KJV Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: [7] Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 2 Chronicles 7:14 KJV If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. Revelation 3:20 KJV Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: IF any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. May Jesus Bless You. |
mekaboy:Yeah, it isn't a spiritual virus cos it can't kill the spirit (Sin is, it kills ones spirit: eternity in hell), Corona virus can only kill the physical body. Right, the spirit controls the physical: God is Spirit, and He is Sovereign. I believe God allows all evil to majorly get people to turn to him: to Repent of Sins or draw close to him; and Corona virus is no exception. I believe the work is on! Remember Job, Paul, and even Jesus (for our sake, though). Many may disagree, but God's way is not our way; it's foolish to try to understand God's way perfectly with our Mickey mouse brains. Luke 21:9 KJV But when ye shall hear of wars and commotions, be not terrified: for these things must first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. Luke 21:11 KJV And great earthquakes shall be in divers places, and famines, and PESTILENCES; and fearful sights and great signs shall ther e be from heaven. May Jesus Bless You. |
LordReed:Okay friend, let's call it a day here. I can see you want to justify and 'scrutinize' everything... I could have answered that scripturally, but I doubt if it'll suffice to your taste. The Words of Jesus are Spirit and Truth (the bible says): No Perfect Scrutiny Possible. Moreover, it is written 'The just shall live by faith'. Also, 'Secret things belong to the Lord'. 'Without faith it is impossible to please God', hence, if we're proud, we had better ignore this subject or things of Jesus in general, till WE ARE READY. Thanks... Goodbye. |
LordReed:Apparently, you sound very much like a joker about this, though. However, for you or anyone else who cares to know, Jesus doesn't give everyone the gifts to work signs and wonders or miracles. But primarily to live Holy: overcome Sin/Flesh/Worldliness. So, as of now, I'm not gifted to work wonders but to witness for Jesus, and especially power to live Holy: die to self/world and seek God's kingdom first. Peace with you... |
demola21:Please check my recent reply. Peace with you. |
Harshirama:Right, but those are all Gifts in body of christ; not meant to serve as titles. For instance, I'm a witness of Jesus in the body of Christ: hence, my name is not 'Witness So and So'. I know it's very common in christendom but it's not rooted in Christ doctrine but the world. Jesus said we are all brothers and sisters, and He alone is the Master of his true Church. For he who cares to hear... May Jesus Bless You. |
Taking a title is originally a worldly thing and it's not Christlike; hence, true children or servants of God don't have titles behind their names. Even Jesus himself didn't take titles like Prophet/Pastor/Father/Rev. Jesus, and neither did his disciples take any titles either. Titles only puff people up, elevate them above people of whom they are spiritually equal to, and are supposed to serve. Jesus detests and did actually speak against such: Matthew 23:6-12 KJV And LOVE the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, [7] And greetings in the markets, and to be CALLED OF MEN, RABBI, RABBI. [8] But be not ye called Rabbi: for one is your Master, even Christ; AND ALL YE ARE BRETHREN. [9] And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven. [10] Neither be ye called masters: FOR ONE is your Master, even Christ. [11] But he that is greatest among you SHALL BE YOUR SERVANT. [12] And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased; and he that SHALL HUMBLE HIMSELF SHALL BE EXALTED. (Spiritually) Jesus took upon himself the form of a servant: Servants don't have Titles: Philippians 2:7-9 KJV But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10. That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow... May Jesus Bless You. |
We must avoid all arguments or debates by all means. Arguments many times lead to strife or anger, and anger doesn't work the righteousness of God. It is the Holy Spirit of Jesus that convinces and converts people: a witness of Jesus is to just preach the Word and move on; no debating. The flesh can't convert anyone. The flesh could through many intelligent means convert people to become church members or workers, christian fans, and the likes, but not necessarily a disciple of Jesus. To be a disciple of Jesus, we got to Repent and obey Jesus from the heart. 2 Timothy 2:23 KJV But foolish and unlearned questions avoid, knowing that they do gender strifes. 2 Timothy 2:24-26 KJV And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men , apt to teach, patient, [25] In meekness instructing those that oppose themselves; if God peradventure will give them repentance to the acknowledging of the truth; [26] And that they may recover themselves out of the snare of the devil, who are taken captive by him at his will. May Jesus Bless You. |
inice:One problem of acting... Jesus didn't call anyone to act Him in the first place. The drama (Christian or not), film, entertainment industry is of the world, no matter how we paint it (Christian Drama or Christian Rock). But it won't be great if he's really not connected to Whom he acts so interestingly in the real world. Acting can really be a great deception in the general world, but especially in the religious world. For instance, many christian actors and actresses act Sins or appear in sinful scenes. But they say 'We're acting to reach the world', rubbish! You don't use something of the world to heal the world. How can darkness cast out darkness: you must be travelling on a rocking chair. We had better seek God for reality in and out, and be free from all hypocrisy. Peace with you. |
For him that is righteous, please continue to be righteous; him that is unrighteous, please continue to unrighteous. BUT HE WHO HAS EAR TO HEAR LET HIM HEAR. (See Rev. 22:11) May Jesus Bless You. |
LordReed:Man shall not live by bread alone... May Jesus Give You Light. |
What is Spirit is Spirit: and the flesh is flesh. The flesh profits nothing, is the Holy Spirit that gives life. Therefore, walk in the Spirit, so as not give in to the lusts of the flesh: Pride, Unbelief, Idolatry, Sexual Sins, Lying, Anger, Gossiping and every Unrighteousness. Because those that Do such things Will Not inherit the Kingdom of God. All sins are equally bad; however, the sin of Pride and Unbelief usually take the lead. It's rather amazing how we try to compare spiritual things with earthly things. That's simply the terrible result of Unbelief: a lack of Faith in the Son of God---Jesus. Now, many don't buy that, but I strongly Do. Even the mere power from God the devil had always had before and after he was cast out of heaven and became Satan, should not be compared with mere physical things; let alone God's mighty power. We can't physically work out how Jesus and Peter walked on water with just by his Word. How about is resurrection, ascension without a jet, and miracles like raising the dead, feeding thousands of people with just one person's meal? The problem is the Sin of Unbelief and a serious lack of the fear and love of God. Matthew 22:29 29 Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God. Matthew 13:58 KJV And He did not many mighty works there because of their Unbelief. Habbakkuk 2:4 Behold the Proud, His soul is not upright in him; But the just shall live by his Faith. 1 Corinthians 2:14-15 KJV But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are Foolishness unto him: neither can he know them , because they are spiritually Discerned. [15] But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 1 Corinthians 3:19 KJV For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. Note: If you don't Believe, don't bother to quote me: cos I surely understand. However, if you must compulsively do that; all the same: May Jesus Bless You. |
Wow, it's amazing to come across something comparing the spirit realm with the physical. Well, it's simply the terrible result of Unbelief: a lack of Faith in the Son of God---Jesus. Now, many don't buy that, but I strongly DO: testimony for another time. Even the mere power from God the devil had always had before and after he was cast out of heaven and became Satan, should not be compared with mere technology or ordinary physical things; let alone God's mighty power. How do we technologically work out how Jesus and Peter walked on water with just his Word? How about is resurrection, ascension without a jet and miracles like raising the dead, feeding thousands of people with just a person's meal? The problem is Unbelief and a serious lack of the fear and love of God. Matthew 22:29 29 Jesus replied, “Your mistake is that you don’t know the Scriptures, and you don’t know the power of God. Matthew 13:58 KJV And He did not many mighty works there because of their Unbelief. 1 Corinthians 2:14-15 KJV But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are Foolishness unto him: neither can he know them , because they are spiritually Discerned. [15] But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. 1 Corinthians 3:19 KJV For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness. Note: If you don't Believe, don't bother to quote me: cos I surely understand. However, if you must compulsively do that; all the same: May Jesus Bless You. |
Dantedasz:Hmm, personally, I've stopped watching movies, especially to escape sexual lusts or temptations. Alas, I perceive many don't seem to take their time to catch the main message of not being taken up by the Spiritual Pandemic (to turn away from Sins) that is even worse off. I'm not here to justify any Dream, let alone Movies. I don't even watch christian so-called movies of which do not really lead to Repentance or the Cross, but mainly to entertain. Romans 3:4 KJV God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar... May Jesus Give You Light. |
Kobojunkie:Okay, I take the point that your conviction is different from mine. Nevertheless, mine remains as taught in scripture. I believe that a true believer---disciple or follower of Jesus must be a good example. As Paul said: 1 Corinthians 11:1 KJV Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ. NLT Version 1 And you should imitate me, just as I imitate Christ. 1 Corinthians 11:1 If you still don't agree, then again, I take the point that my conviction is different from yours... However, whether we agree or not, I think is extremely important for us to do as follows: Philippians 2:12 KJV Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, WORK OUT your own SALVATION WITH FEAR AND TREMBLING. Knowledge only puff us up... May Jesus Give You Light. |
WILLuKPquiet:Hmm, thanks. I just usually end with phrases like that: it's a Wish... Thanks again. May Jesus Bless You. |
Kobojunkie:Following Christlike examples is God's will: I want to follow Jesus' examples so as to be an example that can be followed by others. Trusting and worshipping men are what attract the Curse. Many great pastors/preachers home and away are not real Examples: one reason why I stepped out of their great churches one after the other... Philippians 3:17-20 KJV Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. [18] (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: [19] Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) [20] For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. Solution is to the overcome the Spiritual Pandemic of Sin which is far worse, and other things will be fine. May Jesus Bless You. |
uthlaw:My opinion: the covid thing will pass away sooner or later. Even the end isn't immediately but it's near, though. The coming of the Antichrist is near: followed by the Rapture (but Death is anytime for anyone). Moreover, the lesson in that video that has been sitting for 8 years on YouTube is more about Spiritual Pandemic: Sin, which can send people to Hell after death or rapture. Covid can't send anyone to hell, sins certainly will: all that will matter in 50 to 100 years is eternity (time becomes history then). God is using Covid-19 to WARN us to Repent of our wicked ways and live for Him. May Jesus Bless You. |
James 1:13-17 KJV Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man: [14] But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed. [15] Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death. [16] Do not err, my beloved brethren. [17] Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Peace with you. |
Kobojunkie:Hmm, I see your point. But actually, it's not the dream that really matters to me, but for people to respond to God's warning and calling to Repent and obey Jesus as time is running out. I couldn't care less for dreams, testimonies and the likes of others: especially the common big Pastors/Prophets of all time. This brother is one of the VERY few brothers and preachers of Jesus I respect as one following the narrow way that Jesus and his apostles preached. May Jesus Give You Light. |

1stola:You should have finished reading the post first. Anyway, May Jesus Bless You. |
*Transcript:* Holy Spirit Dream: DEADLY VIRUS warningthepeople Published on 18 Jan 2012 The Holy Spirit gave me a dream last night of a deadly virus that came upon the earth. The officials and many people set out to try to stop it, but when they did it jumped on them, and they were consumed and their bodies lay dead in the street for a time. There was NO WAY to stop it even thought people knew that there was somewhere a vaccination. Many people continued to die. Not many were saved. As soon as you touched this virus it would consume you. It would move on you about an inch a second. The only way you could possibly get it off you as If as soon as you touched it you chopped of that part of your body. Not many people did this. They would be consumed then they would die. The virus to me looked like a worm. It was pale and when it would touch water or anything it would pollute everything in that water or anything that it touched. And it could not be contained, to my knowledge. It moved fast and rapidly. The only way was to avoid it and to take the vaccine. Many people think that they have the vaccination for sin. They believe they have taken it and the blood of Jesus is now covering over the problem, the virus. The only problem is the virus on them is still spreading and is spreading rapidly. They say they have taken the blood, they say they believed in Jesus but the virus on them is still spreading rapidly. Did the blood of Jesus not do its job? Did you take the WRONG vaccination? Or have you not taken the vaccination at all? Jesus requires obedience of His servants. Sin will consume and destroy. There is NO WAY into God's eternal Kingdom with Sin. In Hebrews 10 it says, there is no hope for the willful sinner but a certain hellfire that will consume the adversaries. Are you pure before the throne of Jesus? May the grace of Jesus be with you. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zyr6F-NtANM |
Hebrews 10:26-31 KJV For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, [27] But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. [28] He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: [29] Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? [30] For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompense, saith the Lord. And again, The Lord shall judge his people. [31] It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God. May Jesus Bless You. |
The gospel of Jesus is revealed in Grace and Truth: not just one of them. (John 1:14) Grace = the Love of God Truth = Judgement/Wrath of God The gospel of Grace without Truth is as Demonic as that with Truth without Grace; no matter how it's painted. God's will for us is to be Balanced. There two major common extremes among christians and churches: the prosperity preachers (grace without truth); legalistic preachers (truth without grace). Have you seen a bodybuilder with only one side of his body built up, and the muscle of the side budging over, while the other side looks relatively paralysed? Definitely, he'll look pretty pathetic like those who have had failed plastic or body-building surgeries or procedures. However, we should seek God's complete Will; not just a part of it, in order not to continued being pathetic spiritually, in any case. John 1:14 KJV 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.* Hebrews 10:26-29 KJV For if we sin wilfully after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth No More sacrifice for sins, [27] But a certain fearful looking for of Judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. [28] He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: [29] Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace? May Jesus Give You Light. |
Bruno3000:Sorry, this particular one is not originally mine. Maybe it's a copy and paste error... I'll look into that. Thanks. |

Philippians 2:6-11 KJV Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: [7] But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: [8] And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. [9] Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: [10] That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; [11] And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
