  • ISSAC__ISHMAEL__ABRAHAMIC COVENANT - In Reply - 1 year ago
    God cut a Covenant with Abraham (and his wife Sarah),

    concerning the Land of Israel. The boundaries are in the Bible

    Sarah gave Hagar her maid to get children from. Hagar had a son; Ishmael. He was born through the permissive Will of God. God blessed Ishmael mightily, but he was not heir to the Covenant of the Land.

    Later Sarah had Isaac. She could see how much Abraham loved the boy, and feared for Isaac. Angels told her she would have a son. ISSAC was the perfect will of God.

    The struggle in Israel today is directly due to the COVENANT OF THE LAND, GOD made with Abraham and wife Sarah. The Palestinians do not recognize Sarah at all.

    If you word search names: Ishmael, Isaac, Covenant, Blessing, in the Old Testament only, you'll the the short passages that often get missed. In history Hagar moved away for a long time but moved back in the region.

    Sarah had died and Abraham re-married; but not to Hagar.

    It is something we all need to know because the final wars will be about the covenant of the Land; and Jerusalem. God never said that Israel can trade land for peace. It's going to result in Armageddon.

    That's why Jesus told us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. They have to build the 3rd Temple and begin daily animal sacrifices again. That's our BIG SIGN of THE END. So read the YouTube news on Temple progress.

  • Mishael - In Reply on Isaiah 52 - 1 year ago
    Jesus said, "If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you." ( John 15:7) "whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith. Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." ( Mark 11:23-24)

    After my salvation, the Holy Spirit had me clear out my house of any item I had that had anything to do with occult. I had to burn them. Acts 19:19. I cannot express the change in my house the next day. Peace.

    Ask the Holy Spirit to go through your house with you.

    Confront the past, and just let it all go. Ask God for an angel to guard your house for a while. Your life now is hidden within Christ. He is yours; you are his. Song of Solomon. "I am My Beloveds__My Beloved is Mine".

    As a Christian of many years , I don't believe in curses . You can curse me all you like it won't work ! It's all psychological bunkum designed to freak you out . If you had read and understood the Bible you would know that if you belong to God you need not fear anything or anyone other than God Himself . Please , read your Bible and listen to it and not to people who are of no consequence .
  • Mishael - In Reply - 1 year ago
    There are no scriptures on that in the New Testament. That's between you and your wife.

    Now, if you have children that's different; outside of your bedroom.

    Abraham had two sons, Isaac and Ishmael. Son of the maidservant Hagar, Ishmael was the firstborn and is considered to be the father of the Arabic nations. Yet Isaac was chosen to carry on Abraham's legacy. Genesis 16

    Bible says nothing about another woman.....only Eve
  • Marke - In Reply - 1 year ago
    That is not likely.
  • Marke - In Reply - 1 year ago
    Every born-again believer is born a babe in Christ with a need to grow in the Lord to better overcome sins, failures, doubts, troubles, and so forth in life. The key to growth and victory over sin is walking with God. Walking with God is simply seeking His guidance through prayer, Bible study, fellowship and determination. Pray constantly for God's help and daily deliverance and never give up. That is it in a nutshell.

    Issac. Please reference Hebrews 11: 17-19.

    The NKJV is a corrupted translation whose biggest flaw is its praise for and utilization of the corrupt Nestle-Aland (NU) text taken from Westcott's and Hort's corrupted Greek text heavily based upon the spurious Sinaiticus and Vaticanus manuscripts. In Mark 6:11, for example, the NKJV footnote points out that the NU does not include the last part of the verse as correctly translated in the KJV. To illustrate, I am quoting the verse from the New American Standard as an example of a translation of the verse as based upon the NU:

    New American Standard Bible

    "Any place that does not receive you or listen to you, as you go out from there, shake the dust off the soles of your feet for a testimony against them."

    Mark 6:11

    King James Version

    11 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.
  • Sam - In Reply on Isaiah 52 - 1 year ago
    May I suggest you reflect on Romans 10:9-13, Ephesians 2:8-9, Philippians 2:12-13.

    Please consider praying this prayer:

    Lord Jesus Christ I declare you are my Savior! I renounce any involvement in the world of darkness. I cancel every curse and ask you to forgive those who spoke them against me. I proclaim liberty from every generational curse that existed in my bloodline. I repent for opening doors to Satan. I repent for any of my family sins. I declare every generational curse is made void by the Blood of Jesus Christ. I command every generational curse that has manifests itself as sickness, depression, failed marriages, poverty, confused identity, addictions or shady behaviors to be uprooted and broken off me and my family, in Jesus name. Thank you God for setting me free from every curse in Jesus Christ name!!

    I think the other person may have misread your question.

    Hover over this verse for the answer:

    Psalms 83:18

    God bless.
  • Marke - In Reply on Deuteronomy 22 - 1 year ago
    True. Salvation is not of works. Also, more to my point, condemnation to the lake of fire is the death sentence for the sin of rejecting what the Holy Spirit has revealed to the sinner, not the result of lesser sins.
  • Marke - In Reply - 1 year ago
    I grieve over the heartaches caused by sin and indifference, in my own life as well as in the lives of others, because I know sin always brings grief and sorrow. I will pray for your family. I know the Lord wants them to draw near to Him and to seek His help and guidance for everyone's good, especially their own. Thanks for sharing.
  • Chris - In Reply on 1 Timothy 2:12 - 1 year ago
    Pardon me. That should be Hebrews 12:14, not 12:4.

    Be strengthened & comforted dear one, that the Lord is mindful of what you're going through & will give you grace to bear up or give you a way around them. Search out good company with a good moral standing or even believers that you can pray with. Share what you're going through with your teacher or principal & leave the matter with them.

    Hebrews 12:4, "Follow peace with all men"; Matthew 5:44; & I would leave you with Matthew 5:11-16. May the Lord be very near to you & give you strength & wisdom during those times of trial.

    Thank you for sharing some of the pain you are going through at school, Sanaytrah - for being open & honest with us. Unfortunately, bullying, whether at school, workplace, or wherever, is a fact of life & many suffer because of those mindless, sick individuals.

    There could be many reasons for bullying; but two that would be high on the list would be that the bullies themselves are being harshly treated or disciplined at home or by others & they then reciprocate by venting their pent-up emotions on others. Another reason would be that they get into bad company & become part of the group mentality, so whatever evil plans the group decide to do, that then becomes an act by the whole group or individual. Do they know that they do wrong by unnecessarily hurting someone? Yes, they do, but the thrill of afflicting pain on another (helpless) one is greater than considering the grief caused to the victim.

    We can look upon those evil people with sadness, because of their immature callous acts against the innocent & we can pray for them, but so often bullying continues because those in authority (whether at the school or govt. level), refuse to take suitable action against them. Being a much older person than you, I'm dismayed as I look back over the past decades, how far the 'rule of Law' has degenerated, where wickedness is now allowed to thrive. In those days, bullying at school was quickly dealt with, usually by expulsion from school & no other school would accept the bully. If I couldn't answer a question by the teacher, an answer I should have given if I was attentive, almost certainly brought out his boxed set of various sized canes for me to choose from. The 'stick' can often teach us important lessons very quickly. All that's now gone, for fear of 'hurting' these young one's tender hearts & lives - all we do now is breed a generation of rascals, with callous minds intent on evil.

    Sister Suze, I was raised going to church, every time the doors were open. Believe and go to heaven; don't believe and go to hell, it's all up to you. In 50 years of going to church, I was never taught the truth about the kingdom of God.

    When God set me down and CAUSED me to study his word, he CAUSED me to study the prophets and Revelations.

    I learn more about the kingdom of God from the law and Prophets than I every learned from the New Testament.

    I believe it is a great loss that our churches seldom study the Old Testament.

    If you never studied anything but Job, Psalms and Isaiah you could come to truth about the kingdom of God.

    God Bless You!

    Some definitely witness by word but I have to believe the strongest witness is by the way we live. As we are living for the Lord, His fruit is expressed outwardly by our daily living and reactions. Because we have a relationship. This includes our thoughts, words and actions. Others will notice and as we pray for an opportunity to speak, the Lord will provide. The Holy Spirit will let you know when the opportunity arises. The next step is the step of faith. To share the good news.
  • Wayne - In Reply on Deuteronomy 22 - 1 year ago
    Unbelief is what sends individuals to eternal hades. Jesus defined the will of God like this: believe in the Son of God (Jesus) and to love others. So you see, it's not a "works salvation" it's a gift from God the Father to those who will believe and accept. See John 3:16
  • Wayne - In Reply on Psalms 1 - 1 year ago
    Relax. Sit quietly and just open your heart to Jesus. He already knows everything about you. Just talk to your Heavenly Father in honesty and sincerity

    Brother Alex:

    I believe flesh and the carnal mind are Satan. Man is (the image of Satan), until he is born of truth.

    You are right, the child is not delivered until we depart this body of flesh.

    I believe the 1000 year reign with Christ is signified and is ONE DAY, running parallel with the day of the Lord, a day called today, the day of the Lord, which has been going on for 2000 years; but is only ONE DAY, where time is no more.

    I believe the parable of God sending workers into his vineyard at different hours of the day, represents the 1000 year reign; the workers are those, having gone before us, now spirits made perfect, fashioned as the Holy Ghost, bring in the harvest.

    Christ said he would send his angels (ministering spirits) to gather the harvest.

    ALL will receive the same reward, no matter what hour of the DAY we go into the vineyard, and that reward is becoming the likeness of Christ, spirits of just men made perfect.

    Ye are righteous because I am righteous, ye are Holy because I am Holy, ye are LIFE because I am LIFE, ye are truth, because I am truth, ye are mercy because, I am mercy.

    I in YOU and YOU in ME.

    God Bless YOU.

  • Marke - In Reply on Revelation 18 - 1 year ago
    I've heard commentary that Babylon represents the Roman Catholic Church, and I can accept that application, but I think it is a more appropriate application to say Babylon represents the formerly Christian nation of America that has become apostate during the last days. Babylon in Revelation is a "city" full of people doing great business and making tradesmen around the world rich through commerce. The Catholic Church is primarily guilty of making its officers rich, but not enriching world businessmen so much.

    There were several names. But the most obvious one....was Jesus.

    1 Corinthians 10:1-4

    1Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;

    2And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea;

    3And did all eat the same spiritual meat;

    4And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ.

    I'm a born again Christian for a few years now. I'm still try to understand salvation, and I need help. How do I break generational curses? I get dreams of setback all the time. Thank you and God bless you
  • Marke - In Reply - 1 year ago
    I don't believe the Bible ever speaks of leaven as a good thing. Leaven speaks of evil and corruption, which is why the unleavened bread refers to Jesus and Christians.

    Evil persuasion is like leaven: Gal. 5:

    8 This persuasion cometh not of him that calleth you.

    9 A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.

    Leaven is compared to malice and wickedness. Unleavened is compared to sincerity and truth.

    1 Corinthians 5:8

    Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

    Christians are not old leaven in sin but unleavened in righteousness.

    1 Corinthians 5:7

    Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:

    Leaven is compared to evil doctrines and evil dogmas.

    Mark 8:15

    And he charged them, saying, Take heed, beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod.

    Leaven is corruption and God forbid the Jews from offering corruption in their Sabbath observences.

    Exodus 12:19

    Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.
