    True David.

    For me, I try to always remember that Jesus promised that God does hear the prayers of believers and answers. And I always try to remember that He is sovereign and will always do what is in accord with His will and purpose. Also, I try to always remember to trust Him with the answers He gives, for he is faithful and just. He loves us and is willing to answer our prayers from His goodness and grace, freely given to us.

    I see Jesus as Gods answer to everything you could image , no problem for me.

    Jesus said ask of me and I will do it . He is at the right hand of the Father and been given all power and authority by The Father .

    Im satisfied and so should anyone be . Jew or Gentile . Have a blessed day ...

    Amen Free.

    I will have much more to say on this.

    As we know there is heresies formed around this topic that depicts God as one unable to fulfill his promises.

    God displayed his faithfulness with this rebellious Nation. You can see Jacob in all of us.

    The story of Israel is about God's faithfulness not their failures.

    He carries them on eagles wings the same way he Sheppards his Church with his staff.

    It would do well for one to know the nature of sheep, and if you are his sheep you will see you parallel with Jacob so as Paul said be not high minded.

    Romans 11:20-21.

    If the first fruit be Holy so is the lump.

    For if the casting away of them be the reconciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them be, but life from the dead?

    For if the firstfruit be holy, the lump is also holy: and if the root be holy, so are the branches.

    Romans 11:16-17.

    For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

    And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob:

    Romans 11:25-26.

    THE OUTLINE IS SEEN HERE:

    For the gifts and calling of God are without repentance.

    For as ye in times past have not believed God, yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief:

    Even so have these also now not believed, that through your mercy they also may obtain mercy.

    For God hath concluded them all in unbelief, that he might have mercy upon all.

    O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!

    Romans 11:29-33.

    More to come

    God bless.

    Barbara,

    You might be looking for Psalms 114:3. The King James says the Jordan (River) was driven back. There are multiple English translations that say, "the Jordan turned back." What is interesting is that the Contemporary English Version says, "the Jordan river flowed upstream." The International Standard Version (ISV) says "the Jordan River ran backwards.

  • Wisemen still seek him - In Reply - 1 year ago
    I have a question for you AlexN , God made many promises to Abraham , and his seed , and Israel , in the OT that is considered passed away( or almost ), according to the Book of Hebrews .Chapter 9 is very interesting , how Jesus Christ completed the OT in his blood , rather than the blood of animals that was incomplete and needed to be repeated , but Christ once for all ....

    Here is my question to you and anyone for that matter . IS GOD WISE ENOUGH TO FULFIL ALL PROMISES WITH THE NEW COVANT ? ( NT ) I have not researched this but seems to me the New Testament does and goes even much further ...

    What say you? Thanks

    Solomon made intersession for the Gentiles approx 1000 yrs b/f Christ .. 1st Kings 8 : 3 the KJV...Raising his hands to heaven he prayed the Stranger that is not of thy ppl Israel if they should come here .HEAR thou from Heaven thy dwelling place and do all that the stranger asked of thee that thy name might be great in all the Earth...And Jesus said a greater then Solomon is here which is the H.G. that heavenly comforter...The Israel of God...That is gonna build a greater temple then Solomon in mans hearts...Abide in me and in you...Jesus refers to the H.G. as the Comforter...The spirit of truth..An Israel of God.
  • ELB - In Reply on Psalms 103 - 1 year ago
    Sister Suze, we are the body, Christ, the Word, is the LIFE in US, the body.

    Christ said when you need a word to speak or a scripture to quote it will come to your mind, because THE WORD is the LIFE of the Body (YOU).

    PROPHECY:

    Ezekiel 36:27 And I will put my SPIRIT within you, and CAUSE you (the body) to walk in my statutes, and keep my judgements, and DO THEM.

    FULFILLED at pentecost:

    Philippians 2:13 For it is GOD (the life) that WORKETH IN YOU both TO WILL and TO DO his good pleasure.

    Your (the body) lips move because the life (Christ in You) CAUSES them to move.

    Job 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandments of HIS LIPS (you are ONE with Christ)(LIFE is Christ and BODY is You).

    Job 27:4 My (yours and Christ) LIPS shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.

    Job 2:10 ...in all this Job did not sin with his lips.

    Psalms 12:4 Who (one with no knowledge of truth) have said, With our tongue we will prevail, our lips are our own: who is Lord over us.

    We were PREDESTINATED to be the IMAGE OF CHRIST.

    John 5:30 I can of myself do nothing ...

    Christ is the BODY that holds the LIFE of the FATHER.

    John 15:5 .....for without me you can do nothing ....

    WE are the BODY that holds the LIFE of Christ.

    John 17:22 And the glory that thou gavest me I have given them, that they MAY BE ONE, even as WE ARE ONE.

    Is it not mind boggling to walk in TRUTH.

    God Bless YOU!

    As far as being 'worthy to escape' - that doesn't necessarily mean 'escaping' out of this world. Some commentators say this verse refers to the believing Jews who escaped the destruction of Jerusalem. They heeded Christ's warning, and when they saw the armies of Rome amassing, they high-tailed it out of the area!



    Other examples of 'escape' -

    The three Hebrew children 'escaped' - AFTER being thrown in the fire! Their being kept IN the fire WAS their 'escape'.

    Noah 'escaped' the flood...but he endured a lot while building the ark and weathering the storm!

    Peter 'escaped' Herod by an angel on time - but had to survive being arrested, just the same.

    We have been, are, and will yet be kept from many harms...but other tribulations appointed by God, we must endure, knowing that IN them and THROUGH them, by God's power, we 'escape' danger to our souls.

    We so want physical escape; we so want to be spared troubles. That's natural!! No one wants them! Yet, Jesus said that the tribulation will try EVERY person!! Peter told us about the 'trying of our faith', and not to be amazed at 'FIERY trials'. These are the very things that prove if we have true, saving faith, and if we have it - these purify it! In a way, it's a blessing to be tested here, and have our faith tried, so that we ourselves have the confidence that it is real and true and of God!

    None of us in the US have been in TRULY fiery trials. HARD ones, to be sure, but fiery...not so much. Why do I say this? Because I've read Foxe's Book of Martyrs; I've read about what, i.e., Chinese Christians have, and do suffer...or what Christians in Muslim countries endure and......oh brethren...we haven't suffered ANYTHING...yet. Let us cry to the Almighty for strength, that no matter WHAT He sees fit to bring us through, we will rest ON Him and in Him! Amen! HE will uphold us by His grace! He has promised to save us to the uttermost! Let us trust on Him no matter what!
  • Kay - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Very excellent thoughts, Joyce.

    Over the years, I began to realize that I heard a LOT of people saying, "We have to get people to church." That was never preached by the apostles. They led people to CHRIST, preached CHRIST crucified, buried, and risen again! When we COME to Christ and believe on HIM we BECOME the church!

    So often now days, the church has become the 'head' in its own eyes, when all along we as believers are to HOLD FORTH THE HEAD, and CHRIST is the HEAD! We put something on our candlesticks other than our Preeminent Lord and Savior!

    People are often 'discipled' into a church system, a man-made organization, a creed, etc. -- when what is truly vital is that they be grafted into Jesus Christ with no 'mediators' in between them and the Lord!

    MULTITUDES have been grafted into a 'church', when in reality, they are not wholly grafted into Christ and rooted and grounded in HIM. MULTITUDES are 'rooted and grounded' in a system, which will not, and cannot, save them and stand them in good stead. I groan in my spirit because perhaps these will be among those who say, "Lord, Lord" in the great day - but find out they didn't really know HIM (they knew a system) - and He didn't know them!

    Blessings, Joyce!

    I also knew someone who was somewhat overweight, not obese, though; they too changed their diet and were cured of type 2 diabetes.

    The Lord still is the "Lord Who heals us"! If we all think about it, it's staggering to think of the many sicknesses we've recovered from, and of the many injuries we've sustained that have mended! God has healed us over and over! It's NOT the treatment or medication that saves us! They could not help us without God using them to help us! Praise the Lord.

    At the same time, I know many people who are struggling with health issues who have not been healed..yet. But they WILL be, either here or in heaven! :) One day there will be NO sickness, no pain, no sorrow, no struggle, not battles as we have now. Above all, we will be forever in our Father's house, and behold the face of Jesus, and follow Him wherever He goes! We have EVERYTHING to look forward to, all because of Jesus! Praise the Lord!

    1 John 1:9

    King James Version

    9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

    This verse proves Christians are not sinlessly perfect on earth.

  • Jesse - In Reply on 1 Chronicles 26 - 1 year ago
    Barry,

    I checked a few on-line bible dictionaries and the word Parbar refers to a suburb, so this would be a suburb of Jerusalem.
  • Marke - In Reply on 1 Chronicles 26 - 1 year ago
    Strong's Concordance says Parbar was a suburb of Jerusalem.

    Isaiah 45:9

    "Woe unto him that striveth with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashioneth it, What makest thou? or thy work, He hath no hands?"
  • Barry Palmer on 1 Chronicles 26 - 1 year ago
    I was reading my King James Version of 1st Chronicles 26:18 an came across the word "Par-bar" and could not find the definition for it. What does it mean?
  • Jacques A Gonzalez - In Reply - 1 year ago
    People in that day lived to close to one thousand years old. So when God put he mark in Cain's forehead for killing his brother Abel, they could have been 130, 210, 300 years old or more. By that time their lineage & the lineage from the subsequent siblings had become fruitful & multiplied & spread throughout that region. That's why God put the "mark" on Cain's forehead so that the other populous from Adam & Eve's lineage wouldn't kill Cain or they would suffer a curse as well. There is a place in the New Testament that has all the names of the lineage of Jesus all the way back to Adam. It would be an interesting research endeavor for you.
  • Jacques A Gonzalez - In Reply on Psalms 103 - 1 year ago
    Pray what is referred to as "The Lord's Prayer", only interject specific & personal situations current in your life in each point of the prayer.
  • Giannis - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Well dear Spencer although I have objections about those covenants made by God to Jewish people if they are still valid or not, I must say that you are right when you point out that there is an anti-Semitism silently creeping in the whole world and in some/many churches as well. There is also racism in some/many churches too.

    Now as far as God's promises to the nation of Israel are concerned apart from the promise that He will gather them in their own land that was fulfilled in 1949, no other promise has been left apart from the one described by Paul in Romans 11:25-27 that is about the salvation of Israel as a whole nation at the very end. I can not see any other promise/covenant left for them to be fulfilled.

    Now if we want to talk on a history basis there was also an anti-Semitism in the early church which was initiated by the fact that the persecutions that took place in those early times were often initiated by Jews in high political places. We see it in aThessalonika, Berea, Corinth and if you look it up in history books most of the persecutions that took place in the first 3 centuaries AD in Rome, the lions and the crosses and the fireworks and all those horrible things our early brothers suffered, were most often caused by Jewish people who hated Christianity. Christians suffered a lot during those times and their dislike for Jews is often clear in their writings. I don't try to justify anything but this is how things are ...

    God Bless You

    I will always remember Jesus 1 st message to the Jews..Saying there were many lepers in Israel at the time of Elisha the prophet but unto none of them was Elisha sent but unto Naaman a Syrian a leper ..Which shows us that God is no respector of Persons...As God so loved the world that he gave us his only beloveth son...That whosoever believeth in him will have Eternal life...Always remember that Abraham was a Syrian...Duet 26 : 5... But not only was he the Father of the uncircumcision he was the Father of the circumcision also...Jew and Gentile alike...Remember the woman at the well said our father Issac gave us the well and she was a Samaritian a Gentile but Jesus preached salvation the Gift of God to this Woman..A Samaritian...On that great day of the feast Jesus stood up and cried if any man thirst let him come unto ME and drink..And John said this speak he of the Spirit for the H.G was yet given b/c that Christ was not yet GLORIFIED..So God is no respector of persons...But under the new covenant its the H.G. that is the super star...The apply of his eye...The Israel of God...Which are the Children of PROMISE...That God Promised was gonna be as the stars of heaven in multitude...The Israel of GOD...And they are gona be born in us via the good seed of Christ...Its only them that are the Children of Promise..That are contents of the book the LIVING WORDS The Children of Promise..His name sakes...The Gransons...simply b/c Jesus is their father...When Isaiah saw the kingdom coming in Isaiah 9 : 6 kjv..Isaiah refers to Jesus as everlasting FATHER..Simply b/c his Children are everlasting spirits. Thus Christ is truly the Father of the H.G...Simply b/c Isaiah said he wd see his seed which are the babes and suckling Jesus mentions..The bridegroom's children..That good seed..Whosoever receiveth one such child in my name...In MY NAME implied he is the Father of the Child..the H.G..That Child of promise the Israel of God...Jesus is not impotent he has a seed to SOW IN US.

    GOD our FATHER does not want you to quote scripture when you pray; HE wants you to pray from your heart, not something man has said over and over. Even when you know not what to pray for your spirit does. Even if you sit their in silence HE hears what is in your heart for HE is a heart knower. Be at ease and in peace and always from the heart.
  • Alex N - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Spencer you do greatly err all the lords disciples were Jews but they had to be bornagain of an incorruptible seed ...Even by the words of God...And this is replacement theology...Jesus was preaching replacement theology when he said you must be bornagain.

    .....We all need a new heart and a new spirit which is replacement theology...GOD himself was preaching replacement theology when he said he was gonna give us a New Covenant and a new Heaven and a New earth ...Not according to the old covenant...From Gen. to Rev. its all replacement theology...And we are not the Children of God, Its only the H.G. that is the real Child of God the Children of Promise...We are just a joint heir with the H.G...As romans 9 : 8 tells us its only the Children of Promise that is counted for the GOOD SEED which is the H.G...We are just a joint heir...Its only the H.G that is born by Promise...our new innerman...Jesus was preaching replacement theology when he told Nic a Jew he wd have to be bornagain...

    .... Romans 9 : 8 ...The Children of the flesh ( Natural Israel ) ..These are not the Children of God but the Children of PROMISE ARE COUNTED FOR THE GOOD SEED....Who are the Children of PROMISE ? ...The H.G....Spirits...As Jesus said that which is born of the spirt is spirit...Thats the H.G. the Israel of God...And this is replacement theology...The H.G. is our new heart and new spirit...Which is Christ in us the hope of Glory....I know that Paul said we as ISSAC are Children of Promise..But he was impling that b/c he had the H.G he was a Child of Promise...

    ....We were all born by the will of some man...Its only the H.G that Child of PROMISE that is born by the will of God in us...When Jesus said behold i send the Promise OF MY FATHER upon you that was baptism of the H.G. a heavenly birth of Christ in them the H.G. that Child of Promise...Whosoever receiveth one such Child in my name receiveth me ...Which is replacement theology...As the H.G. is our Replacement our new Innerman...GBU

    Dear Wilhelmina , you don't need to quote scriptures when you pray . I wish I could remember the entire Bible but I know i never will be able to . Prayers should come from your heart , talk honestly and openly to your God , through the High Priest that we have in Heaven , Jesus Christ the Righteous . Much love in Christ .
