Heart Knowledge and Faith on Matthew 7 - 3 years ago
For those interested in how all the animals were brought to the region of the Ark:
You can study the weighty subject/science of Continental Drift theory or Pangea. See the maps, etc.
Or like me you can simply have faith that when the Godhead speaks; necessary changes happen.
My evangelist heart always wonders what does this have to do with us being born again into Jesus Christ?
Not only are we going with Jesus to heaven, but we now have The Mind of Christ: to understand mysteries of heaven and earth.
BUT first we must be born again and receive the Holy Spirits Baptism. He is the Spirit of Jesus Christ: the Word of God. He Teaches Us about Jesus; He opens up the mysteries as we are able to receive it. The more you know about Him, the more you will be able to understand His purpose and His work in the Believers.
Our total reliance on Him, determines how much Rhema he opens up to us.
We have to submit to being milk fed babies in the Word as our Faith and Obedience to the Word causes a deep inner hunger for the MEAT of the Word. God uses "food" to grow us up. We are to be Followers of Jesus in our walk with God.
The Holy Spirits ministry is to oversee our growth as Christians. HE IS OUR TEACHER.
You're going to have to talk to Him, and then listen for his reply. If your home life is noisy and filled with interferences, your ability to hear the Holy Spirit is diminished. You have to work that part out.
Eating the Meat of the Word will change you! It is full of wonder. Your spirit is enlarged to receive more. Desire the pure milk, but study and let your prayer life (communication) to and from God, grow. Your faith will be huge.
Our model to pattern by should always be Jesus. His mercy and grace towards people teaches us how to dial down our personalities somewhat; and dial UP our faith in Him. If we eat the fruit and throw away the seeds in the trash; how can anyone be saved? The seed is the scripture you store in your heart
This I may should know but who decided what could or could not be written in the Bible that would make each verse correct without any mistakes as to what really happened?
Thanks so much for everyone that has helped me answer questions I just could not get a handle on. I love this site it is the best I have ever seen once you learn how to use it all!
I know with God anything is possible but I have wondered sometimes how did Noah get all of the animals from all over the world to the ark over the seas and from all corners of the earth like back then they had to do it all the hard way and it is truly amazing to me! I am sure there is a answer but I have not seen it and thanks again!
Philip's 20 mile translation from Gaza to Azotus after his baptism of the Ethiopian eunuch...other translations
1Kings18:12. 11Kings 2:16. 3:14. 8:3. 1Thess 4:16,17.....also, look up how Jesus and his row boat friends " were immediately at the other side of Galilee after they encountered the storm...the Holy Spirit did the translations?
Answers how the kangaroo got from Australia back and forth to and from Noah's Ark
See also at Babel how the people WERE scattered not scattered..." lest we be scattered" in the KJV
If you do a search on "scattered " you'll find more references to " WERE scattered" as opposed to " scattered " in the scriptures..... so the people and animals didn't scatter ( migrate) but " were scattered" just as in these examples on scripture
It's like " beam me up Scotty " from Star Trek..... . and they were translated ( scattered to their destination). They didn't
MIGRATE , BUT WERE SCATTERED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT?
What's wrong with this interpretation of how the kangaroo got to and fro the ark?
This is something I am sure is easy to answer but I just have wondered about it but when Jesus was on the cross why did he say My God My God why have thee forsaken me. I thought maybe that he was in so much pain he did not know what he was saying? Thanks.
Christians Becoming Fully Equipped-1 on Exodus 20 - 3 years ago
Growing up is a process. No one is born fully grown. Everyone comes into the world as an infant and progresses through different developmental stages until he reaches adulthood. The same is true when you become born again. It doesn't matter how old you are physically. When you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you are a spiritual babe in Christ, and you must learn to grow in the things of God.
In the Book of Ephesians, the Apostle Paul talks about the spiritual growth of Christians.
EPHESIANS 4:11-15
11 And he[Jesus]gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ:
14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ.
Did you notice in verse 15, Paul tells the Christians in Ephesus to ". . grow up into him in all things . . ."? Evidently, Paul didn't think that the Church at Ephesus had grown up yet. He also said in verse 13, "Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, UNTO A PERFECT MAN . . . ."
In The Amplified Bible, this phrase is translated, "that we might arrive at really mature manhood." In these verses, Paul is encouraging us to reach spiritual maturity. He is encouraging us to grow up spiritually.
Throughout the New Testament, we see a striking similarity between spiritual and physical development. In fact, there are three stages of spiritual development that correspond to physical development. They are: babyhood, childhood, and manhood.
What is not Created in Goodness and Faith? We who Do GOOD Deeds Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow always and always now and forever more will find the right direction.
