StillDtruth:so in simple terms you are saying freespirited will be guilty even without evidence? Well freespirited you would have to get a good advocate because this one is ready to send you to hell o |
FreeSpirited:be it old or new testament there is no command that a man must marry, neither is there a command that a man must marry one woman. For first question: it is not adultery, adultery is when a woman sleeps with any man who isn't her husband and any man who sleeps with another man's wife. For second question: it is not fornication, fornicators lack commitment and are selfish pleasure seekers, who are immoral and unfaithful. You neither lied to any nor cheated any, but we're honest. |
One thing both a prayer warrior and an Intercessor do is that they pray, but there is a difference between the two and the question I am going to be answering is what is the difference between being a prayer warrior and being an Intercessor. The simplest way to define prayer is that prayer is communication with God, calling upon His name. And no child of God should develop a habit of getting others to speak to God for them while they themselves don't. It is okay to pray for others and for others to pray for you but it's a bad habit to not know how to pray nor pray for others while you pay or get others to pray for you. Now when we talk about Intercession, as children of God we have two primary Intercessors, Jesus, Heb. 7:24-25, Rom. 8:34 and the Holy Spirit, Rom. 8:26-27. Both are our advocates, one with us and one at the right hand of God. These are the two best Intercessors anyone can have, and if you want to win a case you get the best advocates, and to engage any of them you yourself have to pray. Now the Holy Spirit intercedes through us when we pray in the spirit, in an utterance your mind doesn't understand, for those who have received the gift of God which helps us cry out to God. This is good when you want to pray God's will but you don't know God's will. And also Jesus intercedes for those who come to God through him, you ask the Father in the name of Jesus, praying with understanding of God's word and according to God's revealed will, if not you are praying amiss and won't be answered. And to do any of the two, you actually have to be a child of God, and it's God who through His word makes anyone His child. Now those are not yet children of God can still pray to God and ask for mercy, and honestly Jesus has already been interceeding for those who later become children of God. Honestly God hears every thought you have and sees every imagination of your heart. The hard thing isn't God hearing you, is you hearing him and knowing that God has heard you and answers you. Okay so you have to pray and know how to pray, because even if others pray for you, it is you that has to receive the answer and verify that it is from God. Anyway, Prayer warrior or Intercessor? At the heart of intercession is reconciliation, and the purpose of the prayer of intercession is to make peace. When we look at the term "warrior" whose purpose may be to wage war for the goal of conquest. We should ask ourselves what is the purpose of a "prayer warrior"?! A prayer warrior can be seen as a person who prays for long, warfare prayers, battling spiritual entities for the purpose of victory. And at times vengeance prayers gets mixed in, when one goes attacking the enemies. Honestly vengeance should come from one crying out to God whom vengeance belongs to, and when you cry out to God for help and justice that's Intercession. Now Intercession at times can be warfare where one commands in God's authority and in the name of Jesus that God's word and will be established in a situation or in a person's life. So a prayer warrior should be an Intercessor but not all "prayer warriors" are Intercessors. Because wars can be waged for different reasons and purposes. If you have to leave the covering of the almighty because you want to engage the angels of God and show that has a child of God you have dominion, you may not realize that you have been tricked by the devil to tempt God. So your goal in being in a prayer ministry or being a prayer minister shouldn't be warfare but intercession. Look a warrior's instinct is to look for a battle or war to fight, and if you get so engrossed in fighting, you can get trapped fighting demons you can't win in battles you were not sent to fight. It's also a demonic trick, one wastes time, could develop "pride of a warrior" satisfaction from praying, or better term, from commanding for hours. You see intercession requires a level of humility both from the Intercessor and from the one being interceded for. We have Abraham and Pharoah, Job and his friends. You see the humility of Daniel, Moses. And note that Intercessors do not enforce their will, infact they cannot change the outcome of God's decision but their Intercession makes God's mercy applicable to that decision of God. How did Jesus defeat death? It is by submiting to God and dying while trusting God to raise him up. Do you pray because you trust that God is faithful and just, or because you are worried, scared or angry (if you feel like this don't fight the enemy instead cry out to God). Only fight when God has equipped you for it, when you go in with shoes of peace. Warfare is when one goes against principalities and powers of darkness, and one doesn't go into such without the armor of God which is mainly for defense and protection by the way. The one who has is the one who defends and protects, but the one who steals is the one who attacks. We submit to God so we RESIST the devil who then flees back to where he came from. We RESIST because he is the one coming against us, and because Christ builds us up they do not prevail. Intercession comes into play when people mistakenly leave God's protection, via disobedience knowingly or unknowingly and find themselves needing to come back. Ministry of reconciliation which goes with prayer of Intercession becomes applicable. There are elders in the body of Christ you can open up to, there are prophets who pray, okay, but still if one is like Saul, Esau, or Judas, hmm it is well. As children of God, who are royal priests under the priesthood of Christ, we are to be Intercessors for ourselves, for each other, for those around us especially those who are yet to repent from their ways. Intercession should be Holy Spirit led, and one has to be sensitive to the leading and be watchful for it so as to cry out to God for mercy and grace and peace against every storm. There are people around the world you don't yet know that pray for you, and those prayers help you when you can't pray or haven't prayed. So also when you pray in the spirit as well, other lives are helped and touched. An Intercessor needs to be patient, the long-suffering kind of patience and also peaceful, a peacemaker, go out of your way self sacrificially so that there is the peace of God which pulls down wickedness and silences storms. So whether you wrestles against the kingdoms of darkness or you cry out for souls and the harvest. Receiving God's answer and leading is the key to binding and loosing victorious. May God grant us all the grace of Christ as we pray in Jesus name. Amen. |
delkuf:🙄 🚶🚶🚶 Mark:12 [29] Jesus replied, The one that says, ‘Hear, O Israel! The Lord our God is the one and only God. [32] The teacher of religion replied, Sir, you have spoken a true word in saying that there is only one God and no other. [33] And I know it is far more important to love him with all my heart and understanding and strength, and to love others as myself, than to offer all kinds of sacrifices on the altar of the Temple. [34] Realizing this man’s understanding, Jesus said to him, You are not far from the Kingdom of God. And after that, no one dared ask him any more questions. Holy Bible (TLB) The Living Bible |
delkuf:well we don't think are confused as you do. So God sent his son a message that is why he is not a messenger? Meanwhile what is recorded is that God send Jesus with the gospel message and all his words and teachings were from God. You make it sound like God said, this is my beloved son kill him, or whosoever kills my son and drinks his blood shall have eternal life 😂😂😂 |
immaculatesense:Jesus set you free from sin, is to set you free from the power of sin, it's influence and control, and from the consequences of sin which is death. Because we are no "longer slaves to sin" doesn't mean we cannot sin, if we are set free from sin then we do not have to be conscious and watchful not to sin. |
StillDtruth:oh you were? Okay now should we remove verse 21 from the bible for you 🙄 |
delkuf:you that is not confused what did you understand from what you wrote |
delkuf:you wrote that Jesus is not the messenger of God. Right? Where is the misquote? Or were you saying God didn't give Jesus a message that's why he is not a messenger? |
delkuf:when the devil the author of confusion confuses you, you think others are confused Okay you that is not confused, explain the John 17:3 they asked you |
delkuf:no, your Jesus is god that sent himself, you are interpretating scripture with pride. So those who call themselves servants of Christ are they no more brothers and sisters or Jesus Christ? |
delkuf:it is your own Jesus that you believe in that God did not send, that one sent himself and his message is from himself but he can't save you because salvation is from God who sent his son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth. |
Emusan:so you don't know "the very nature that makes God to be God"? And you also don't know who Gabriel is referring to in Luke 1.32, whom God will give the throne of his father David? |
Truthseeker10:you don't believe what he wrote? Or are you looking for a verse and translation you can misuse like Ecc 9:10? |
StillDtruth:so Job, Noah, Daniel were no one? |
immaculatesense:care to explain what it means for Jesus to deliver you from sin? |
Emusan:So what is the very nature that makes God to be God? Luke.1.32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,... |
delkuf:Was Job a righteous man? Did he believe in Jesus? |
buchidinho:righteousness2 have you read this post? |
Righteousness2:Rev 21:8 you quoted you highlighted only believe but ingnore the rest of what was written. Why is that? According to you, no matter how innocent of they are, if they are not cowardly, abominable, murderers, sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, nor liars, as long as they do not believe they will perish. Is this what you believe and teach? |
Righteousness2:what is the purpose of believing in Jesus? |
The6thAustralia:you see how you cannot answer simple question |
Emusan:So what is the very nature that makes God to be God? Luke.1.32 He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David,... |
StillDtruth:Matt.7.21 "Not everyone who says to Me, "Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven. |
delkuf:according to you all children of God are Gods? So how many Gods are there? |

delkuf:like when 🙄 |
StillDtruth:ok |
hmohammed:and you that read it, where are there ages stated in the bible? |
John 3:16 popular biblical verse, for God so loved the world that He gave, before we finish reading this verse, know that you were either in the world or are still in the world. Paul even writes in Romans 5:8 God shows us His love that while we were still sinners, while we were still in the world... and you may say well, "I am no more in sin, I have no sin to offend God so God should bless me and make me prosperous" is that really what the contents of God's love and promise entails. Verse 9 of Romans 5, says and we were free from God's wrath because of that love that brought us Jesus. So John 3:16 God so loved the world, filled with poor people and He didn't give them riches, He didn't give them money, but He gave them Jesus. One may say, well Jesus is the bread of life and that life is not life in this world but eternal life in the world to come. God sent Jesus to you who are poor, so that you can have eternal life. Look God knows that you are poor, and He anointed Jesus to preach to the poor, Luke 4:18 & Isaiah 61:1 so did Jesus come to preach wealth and prosperity to the poor? No he came to preach the good news, the gospel. You may ask how is that a solution to your poverty? Well it is not, it is a solution to your death which all men die for one reason or the other, yes God loves you even though he lets you or anyone die poor. If God wanted to solve your poverty He would send and anoint Jesus to make many wealthy, but then in the short few years of Jesus ministry and even the decades of the apostles added, how many testimonies do you read of Jesus making anyone wealthy and rich? 0, NONE. Well if one says the gospel will make you rich, beware before you use God's word and name for vain things. This is what Jesus taught, and proclaimed to the poor, Matthew 5:3 & Luke 6:20, blessed are the poor for they receive the kingdom of God. You are blessed because you are receiving the kingdom of God, and not a fat cheque to fetch you what you eat and drink. Infact, Paul wrote in Rom.14.17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,. So you are not even receiving what you can eat and drink, but power that gives you peace and joy even in your poverty because of the promise of God's kingdom that is to come. This is what James writes in Jas.2.5 Listen to me, dear brothers and sisters. Hasn't God chosen the poor in this world to be rich in faith? Aren't they the ones who will inherit the Kingdom he promised to those who love him? The only reason you may believe or think, God hates you because you are poor is because of the lie you were taught, from the same people who steal and collect the little you have in the name of God selling to you false promises God never gave. Instead of saying your poverty is proof God doesn't love, you see that it doesn't proof anything other than that God loves you even though you are poor. Matt.6.33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Which things? The things Jesus mentioned that we need to survive. Things that Jesus taught we should not worry about even though we need them but to trust in God's love and provision for OUR DAILY NEED AND BREAD Matt.6.31 So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'... Matt.6.34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. The purpose of seeking the kingdom of God is not for wealth nor for money, it is to find the kingdom of God, seek and you shall find and those who seek are those who can actually see the kingdom of God. So the reason you are born again and can see the kingdom of God, John 3.3, is for you to find it and enter. Listen, Jesus said Matt.6.24 "No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money. My brothers and sisters, God loves you even though you are poor. Do you not know it is easier for you to enter the kingdom of God than it is for those who are rich, Matt. 19:23. |
The6thAustralia:how do you define sensible questions? Are you sayingt ALL the questions Jesus was asked and he answered, were "sensible"? |
xtianchris:lol I did when I was a child, when was a teenage 😅 did they even like me then 🤔 well while they ignore me, no one else cared, silence was a norm, but like heck I cared, you don't tell me, I will go to hell for picking a pen by mistake and tell me God loves me and expect me to accept it. Either you guys are lying or God lied. Jesus who suppose to have the highest authority answered me |
