Hosea 14:4 I will heal their backsliding, I will love them freely: for mine anger is turned away from him.
God will still love you and heal you even when you seem that he is far from you or you dont deserve it because you backslide. Lay hold unto his promises and his unmeasuarable love for us.
I Love these awsome teachings, the messages are broken down so perfectly in ways I have yet to see them through my own eyes. These teachings have really help me see and understand things a lot differently, God bless these teachers in Jesus name
A question not related to Mathew or even to the New Testament but to the Old Testament and that relates to the extreme long levity of many of the people referred to.
Is there some different interpretation or understanding as to how long a year was during the era of the Old Testament?
Medical evidence suggests that the average life of a man at that time would probably have been less than 30 years.
God told Moses that Pharoh's heart will be hardened once more and that he will come to pursue them in order to recapture them. But God says that He will gain honor over Pharaoh. Perhaps meaning that he will humble Pharaoh and glorify Himself to the Egyptians and the Israelites.
Pharaoh commented, "Why did we let them go?" He was not wanting to lose these people as servants so he got in his chariot and many went with him plus 600 choice chariots with the top soldiers and captains. They overtook the Israelites in their camp by the sea, striking fear in the Israelites. They cried out to YHWH and they complained to Moses saying that it would be better to stay in Egypt as slaves than to die in the wilderness. They had very little faith in Moses or God. They even said that they had told Moses to leave them alone so they can serve their Egyptian masters when Moses first came for them.
But despite their unbelief and fear, Moses stood up and boldy proclaimed that YHWH will save them so do not be afraid. He proclaimed that they will never see the Egyptians again after they experience what YHWH will do for them that day. And in an admonition he said, "The LORD will fight for you, so hold your peace. Up until now God had not told Moses how He would save the Israelites, but Moses knew that God would indeed save them.
God now instructs Moses on how He will deliver the Israelites from the Egyptians. He tells Moses to stretch out his rod over the sea and divide it. God says that the Israelites will cross the sea on dry land, but the Egyptians' hearts will be hardened and pursue the Israelites through the divide. I guess the Egyptians did not consider that the God of the Israelites had made the sea divide for the Israelites, not for them.
At this point the Angel of the LORD and the pillar moved from the front of the Israelites to the back, between them and the Egyptians. The pillar made it dark upon the Egyptians and light upon the Israelites.
Many have decided that their long-standing physical disability is an affliction. So they go through life praying instead of being healed. Please explain the difference. Even Paul Asked Lord 3 times to remove his physical ailment without success. However, the Lord kept Paul humble by not removing this physical problem. Is there a difference between affliction and disability? Thank you for any help with this.

Recieve what he offers freely.

How do we relate these rules to modern day living?
