Matthew 7:13 Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: 14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Luke 13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
(I love what Jesus says, it's so easy to understand) There is only one hope (Jesus) he said be ready.

Jezebel Spirit : Are You Being Mentored By Her? Find Out.
COMMENT: not once have I heard anyone teach about Ahab and Jezebel. She was very wicked. She died by accident and she was dismembered by dogs; her bones scattered.
Now remember what you are given by Jesus in Ephesians 6. (Principalities and Powers). You can't fight that spirit in your flesh. She Hates prophesy and prophetsand men.
Her Spirit will get in your face with lies and heresy. She can empower women against men; afflict their ministry. We can see that in our Governments and politics.
Find out what this Spirit does. Resist, in zJedus Name. Blow her disguises.
Terry, to kill a fatted calf means to prepare a lavish celebration, often to welcome someone back from a long absence. The phrase comes from the Biblical parable of the prodigal son, in which a father prepares a feast for his son who has returned home after squandering his fortune. So the fatted calf can vary in size.
Do I need to cover my head every time I am talking to God and Jesus? I talk to him all throughout the day.......do I need to stop every time I do this to put a covering over my head? Do you think this is actually what he means for me to do?
And am I really not allowed to speak in church (a woman); what about female ministers? They have to speak, otherwise they wouldn't be able to preach. Did God mean for women to refrain from entering the ministry? No because Tabitha was an apostle wasn't she?, so she must have done a lot of teaching.
GRACE_ambassador {ChrisE} solving water confusion on Acts 2:38 on Acts 2 - 2 years ago
Precious friends, I apologize. Not sure what happened with " Acts 2:18" in the previous Titles? = It 'should' have been Acts 2:38. Please Be Very Richly Encouraged In His Precious Word!
Today , while doing housework and listening to Tom Petty , I have been thinking about the so called witch of Endor . Here are my thoughts for what they are worth :
Isaiah Ch66 v1-5 and 2nd Thessalonians Ch2 v1-12 .
The Bible is the Word of God and good for our spiritual development , it does mostly deal with very human beings , weak , fearful and vulnerable flesh . This woman ( I don't believe in witches ,hence my two quotes at the begining of this post ) is faced with her king and a couple of his men / body guards ?/ soldiers? My guess is that she was quite scared . Saul promises her that she won't die ,how strong is her faith in that promise ? I think she was a crafty person , weighing up the effect of her words on people very carefully , in the past and in this instance . She may well have been aware that God had departed from Saul and he wasn't going to be king for much longer , she may have heard rumours that the Philistines were very strong and expected to defeat Israel . What should she say ? If she tells Saul that he shall live and be victorious and that's not what happens , if Saul dies will his men honour his promise to let her live ? Might they not come to kill her for her lie / false prophecy ?
If she says Saul will die and Israel will be defeated and the opposite happens she might be mocked but they may not feel the need to kill her . She chooses wisely I think . There's no mention of any man in her house who might try to protect her and we shouldn't underestimate what some one who is very scared might do or say to save their lives , we are only human . I often wonder how Bathsheba felt , powerless to resist her king who she knew had been appointed by God ? Most women are physically weaker than most men and even today men take advantage of that fact . We have laws to protect us now but in Old Testament times ? It seems even David didn't take notice and apply the laws of that time . Think of poor Tamar .
Peter, who was with the Christ, clears the air, clears any question about the old testament and prophets. The church today teaches that the law does not pertain to the salvation of man. It has gone into the doctrines of salvation without it! That since Christ has died for the sins of the world, that all men regardless of their sinful nature can be saved! "Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow."
These words spoken from the saint of all saints!
You cannot separate the law from the gospel! It is impossible! It is like denying the water you drink , comes from heaven!
The law is indeed a schoolmaster, it is the conscience of man that will drive Him to the cross! If he has one, and it has not yet been seared like the steak He eats!
Nepotism is driving force within the church. It is the very corruption thats exists within the sinful and neglectful heart of man! This heart that says one thing and does another! It denies the law, how than can it ever see itself?
This of course why God chose Paul! Oh yes, a master of the Law! Oh yes there is much for you to learn ,as you lead man into hell itself! Repent and be baptized
So, when I was younger, I got saved, or so I thought. But now that I'm older, I'm looking back and wondering if I really truly got saved, or if I was just going through the motions and just saying the words. When I was younger, I knew that I was under conviction, and it would bother me every night and would fall asleep crying. It has been bothering for a few months now. What do I do?
I Corinthians 6:8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
This is one of my favorite Websites to study from. Lay it down next to your Study Reference Columns in Your Bible. They send you to other examples or prophesies. "The big picture"
I haven't used it in a while, so maybe I should dive back in, huh Dan?
You'll love the Topical List. It's all links.
Also,
I found it sorta fascinating to google artist paintings and charts, of the levels and compartments of hell. Doesn't mean they are all correct. People donating art come from all kinds of churches. this is not rote. Some have scriptures on them. We have to VERIFY everything from only the Bible. Cannot teach a half/truth to a lamb in arms. If it proves wrong, toss it out.
Also, people have created Genealogy Charts. That takes a lot of time to lay it beside the KJV and verify. That's how I found the Two Enoch's. One descended from Cain. The other a descendant of SETH. Always follow Jesus's bloodline ancestors.
The Bible will advance to a place; and maybe back up to add more info; then it goes forward to where you left off. I guess each writer in the Bible had to listen intently to the Spirit of God.
As we do.
With Nimrod, now that's a rabbit trail that leads to the Chaldeans and idol worship and all manner of evil. The book of Enoch (from Cains lineage), I believe a lot of it is occult. We don't need to study that. We have Ephesians 6. Keep ourselves unspotted from the world and that which is evil.
It's better to get in the Gospels, and model after Jesus. I was told by a church mother, it takes only a moment to hit the floor on our knees in prayer. if you feel timid, read what happened to Gideon. :)
Pita Lilian Rudu Francis on Revelation 13 - 2 years ago
I'm still wondering about the seven years of tribulation if it is true that people has to go through for Seven years remember during the tribulation there will be famine, pestilence and many others, how can anyone survive for that long, the people of God would because they will be fed with bread and water in the wilderness how about the sinners because that day there will be sinners alive who will see Jesus coming in the clouds and they will call for the rocks and mountains to fall on them to hide them from the face of Jesus
Yes me too. Vs 17 strikes home then 18. So how many people actually know the Spirit Of Truth? Who knows in there heart,
that your thought life, is your prayer life. How many people know to keep there thoughts on how to declare the good news about Jesus Christ reconciling us back to Our Heavenly Father Grace. We are the children of the Living God. Jesus said let this mind be in you. The same mind that is Christ. Well what was on Jesus's mind ? What did he DECLARE? That he is the way the truth and the life. So the new creature that we are in Christ is focusing are thoughts on the Lord always. This is are spiritual LIFE! We will resist are carnal minds and forsake the Old ways of thought ,and put on Christ! Paul said I think God I die daily. He was referring to his old ways. Bringing every thought into captivity. Let this mind be in YOU! Sing to Jesus sing aloud a new song. My conscience has witness in the Holy Ghost. The love of God is shed abroad my heart by the Holy Ghost that is given unto us! His spirit bears witness with my spirit that I am his child. Ephesians 1 vs 17, 18 Also be as I am because iam as you should be. Meditate day and night pray without stopping. Seek and you shall find, knock and the door will be opened. Do the Deeds that modify the body, that is prayer and fasting. Walk the walk and talk the talk. Teach and preach the Good news every where you GO! Repent for the kingdom of Heaven is at your hand so it must be within your reach, yes reach out to Jesus , know that he is reaching out to you. And God will make his aboade with you, we are the temple of the Lord, so keep his comments, fight against the devil and he will flee,, put on thee whole body of armor,, tell you evil thought to stop. When they will not stop. Make your drive to Jesus and star preaching Roman's 5,6,7 8-12 . We are vessels of mercy preaching the Truth about Jesus Christ giving his life to die on a cross for you to reconcile us into God's Grace FOREVER God's Property. Love ya
GRACE_ambassador {ChrisE} solving water confusion on Acts 2:18 - 2 years ago
Part I
1Co 12:13 Is there Only 'ONE' ( Eph 4:5 ) Baptism, Today, Under God's Pure GRACE?
Precious friends, 'water' seems to be Getting More 'Confusing' by the day; ie:
One asks "why does most of the Christian world ignore Acts 2:38?" Answer?: Most Do Not 'ignore' it, But Do take it Out of Context, Change it, and Misinterpret it, and Misapply it, causing 'Confusion.'
Another to an noncommited saint: "I was baptized twice. No one ever said you can't be baptized more than once and continually recommit yourself to being a follower of Jesus Christ. Some people do this in marriage as well and I see value in it.
It's possible you have already done this, but since you didn't mention it, and since you said this has bothered you for 48 years, if you have still doubts and regret about your past actions why not recommit today and be baptized again?"
It's ok for babes In CHRIST to have this 'Confusion' as I have been there, being 'watered' THREE times. Further, IF we 'backslide,' there is No 'recommitment' with a second 'washing,'
{since water is not for us in Part II}, But, in Committing Anew Daily by "presenting our bodies a living sacrifice" to The LORD! Amen? Rom 12:1-2
Further, As CHRIST Only "Died On The Cross 'Once,' when we 'believe Once,' we are "Forgiven All sins 'Once,' And, By The 'ONE' Baptism By The Spirit Is Only Done "Once,"
Placing/Inducting/Transferring us Into The Body Of CHRIST, For Eternity!! Amen?
See More "ONE"s For God's "Revelation Of HIS Mystery" as we, hopefully, all "Endeavour to keep the Unity Of The Spirit In The Bond Of Peace!" in Eph 4:3-6
Sad to say that this Unity/Peace is Not Found In the division and strife in "traditions of denominations" today, Correct? Is not JESUS "Also sad" about this? 1Co 1:9-10
Praise God For HIS Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided 2Ti 2:15, Which Cancelled All of my 'Confusion' about "water, tongues, healings, miracles, end times, etc." Amen?
GRACE_ambassador {ChrisE} solving water confusion on Acts 2:18 - 2 years ago
Part II
1 Corinthians 12:13 God's ONE Baptism for The Body Of CHRIST, Under GRACE/Mystery:
Precious friends, Please Be Encouraged/Edified in This Important "study" of three baptisms:
God's Word Of Truth, Rightly Divided, 'Shows water' is NOT Under God's GRACE, Today:
1) Prophecy/Law for ISRAEL: The Twelve Were Sent to water baptize!
The TWO Main, of 12 baptisms =
A) water, For remission of sins/induction into Israeli "priesthood!" {separate "study" if you wish...} Mat 3:5-6Mrk 1:4Luk 3:3John 1:31Luk 7:29-30Acts 10:37Mat 28:19
B) WITH The Holy Spirit, Poured Out By CHRIST, for power, signs And wonders! Isa 44:3Mat 3:11Mark 1:8Mark 16:17-18Luke 24:49Acts 2:17-18Acts 2:38Acts 8:15-17Acts 11:16
Prophecy/Law
Rightly Divided 2Ti 2:15 From Things That Differ!:
2) Mystery/GRACE! = our "apostle to the Gentiles" for The Body Of CHRIST:
Paul Was Not Sent to {water} baptize! Why Not?:
Today: 'Only ONE' Baptism = "BY" The ONE Spirit = God's OPERATION, Spiritually Identifying members In The ONE Body Of CHRIST!! Eph 4:5Col 2:12Gal 3:27Rom 6:3-4
Thus, This ONE Baptism Is Performed, By God, Today, Under God's GRACE/MYSTERY Program, when the sinner "believes in CHRIST, that He died and rose again, and God saves them" in the twinkling of an eye.
Thus, "water baptism" Is Scriptural, But Dispensationally, "was for the Previous Law/Prophecy Program" of God, For ISRAEL!
Conclusion, water baptism is Scriptural, but, TODAY, is UNdispensational! Amen?
Precious friends, Please be Richly Encouraged, enlightened, exhorted, and edified!"
2Ti 2:15Rom 16:25Eph 1:3-9Eph 3:9 = Grace/Mystery 'fellowship,' for All to "See," today?
Luke 13:23 Then said one unto him, Lord, are there few that be saved? And he said unto them, 24 Strive to enter in at the strait gate: for many, I say unto you, will seek to enter in, and shall not be able.
Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
(I love what Jesus says, it's so easy to understand) There is only one hope (Jesus) he said be ready.
