    How do you fast
  • Robyn Hocking on Matthew 1 - 3 years ago
    Just an interesting bit of research. Hebrew documents hidden in Israel including a lineage of Jesus Christ, Yeshua HaMashiach, shows that the particular Joseph, listed as Mary's Husband Here. was actually her Father also called Joseph thus satisfying the 14 generations count as Mary is then counted as the next generation before Jesus. The specific Hebrew word for husband was not used although it was possible to translate that way but the general word for her male people/father was. Hope this blesses anyone getting caught up in the lineages, But as we are told in Scripture not to get bogged down in endless genealogies.

    They do not believe in, "being Caught Up in the clouds', to join Jesus. Just keep that in mind.

    I mean no harm, but if you don't believe in the resurrection, it kinda makes you a Sadducee (sad you see).

    There are excellent Christian Radio ministry programs on FM radio. I'd listen to that all night rather than watch people who refuse to believe in the (Rapture) or, Caught Up, of Christian believers....of every single word that Jesus and his Apostles, taught

    Word for word from the Bible.

    Search your heart. I did.

    Half of his life is do to the Holy Spirit, which is of God the Creator. And the other half of His life was human, the son of Mary. He was human, just like you and me. (well, not really like you or me. hopefully you know what I mean,)

    On MATTHEW 9:16,17

    By nature every person is born in sin through the sinful seed of their natural fathers and conditioned therein ( 1 Peter 1:23). For that reason and in order to become a son of God, which are born of God, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God, a person must be 'Born Again' ( John 1:12,13; 3:3-7; 1 John 3:9; 5:4).

    By attending a man-made institution a few hours a week ( Acts 7:48; 17:24), does not mean that a person can make a claim that they are followers of Christ and 'Born Again'. That is falsehood, as in truth they follow after an image of a false god and a false Christ ( Matthew 24:24; Mark 13:22; Gal. 4:8; Rev. 12:9). This is how Satan has transformed Himself into an angel of light ( 2 Cor. 11:13-15).

    Only through 'True Repentance' will God be able to reveal Himself, and adopt you as His sons and daughters ( Rom. 8:15,23; 2 Cor.6:18; Gal. 4:5; Eph. 1:5; Hebr. 12:5; 1 John 3:1).

    The word 'Repent' means a lot more than what people by nature have been conditioned to believe. It is the key principle of all the teachings of Jesus Christ and the axiom (basis) of the Word of God and a prerequisite and primary requirement for the salvation of mankind. It actually means the changing of spirits - to turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God ( Acts 26:18).

    For a better understanding and the 'spiritual truth' of what it means to repent, and learn how and by whom mankind has been deceived ( Rev. 12:9), and what people must do to be reunited with the true and living God, we invite you to seek Him according to the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive ( John 14:17).

    You need not that any man teach you ( Isaiah 54:13; 6:45; 1 John 2:27), It is only by revelation of God that you will come to know Christ ( Daniel 12:4,9; Amos 3:7; Matthew 16:17; Luke 2:26; Romans 16:25; 1 Cor. 2:10; Gal. 1:16; Eph. 3:3,5; Rev. 1:1). It is a narrow way that leadeth unto 'Life', and few there be that find it ( Matthew 7:14).
  • Carleton on Matthew 1:9 - 3 years ago
    About the Inquistion that may have put many people to death for their Holy and Loving Faith, many testimonies are recorded in the Martyrs Mirror. Menno Simmons, Dietrich Philips, Claus Ganloff, Peter Twisk, ( I am not sure of the spellings here at work) have confessions of faith well recorded that do not agree that repentance is a process from birth. The only process from birth is learning that some day our sins will come into account and be ready for that call like Samuel. Read these confessions for yourself. Prove their spirit.

    When I have time I will quote some for you all.

  • Brian D. - In Reply on Matthew 1 - 3 years ago
    The Holy Spirit is God himself, the Third Person in the Holy Trinity. One reason why Jesus had to die is because after his death, 50 days later at the Festival of Pentecost, the Spirit descended upon the Disciples. At that point in time the New Testament Church was born. The presence of the Holy Spirit in a Christian's life is a Gift from God. The Holy Spirit guides, matures, protects, comforts, and bestows Spiritual Gifts to the Sons and Daughters of God.
  • Stanjett - In Reply on Matthew 1 - 3 years ago
    The holy spirit (Holy Ghost) is in you the moment that you are saved. It guides you and lets you know right from wrong. It don't stop you from doing wrong but convinces you that what you were going to do is wrong. Like a prick from a thorn.
  • Carleton - In Reply on Matthew 1 - 3 years ago
    Hi, In John Chapter 14 , Jesus refers to the Comforter as the Holy Spirit and it's relationship to God the Father and to himself. The desire to know the Holy Spirit is a good desire.

    You need to go on YouTube and watch some Derek Prince videos on spiritual warfare (ones over an hour). Search: Derek Prince Alcoholism

    You're both under spiritual attack. Get some knowledge in you first, ok.
  • Jim on Matthew 1 - 3 years ago
    When Jesus sent the 12 disciples out to heal the sick, raise the dead, cure the lepers and drive out the demons. Jesus had given them the power to do every thing he told them to do. Jesus already knew what what his disciples was capable of. He told them what to look out for, and if a particular area doesn't work out, to kick the dust of the off their feet and more on to the next town. Jesus instruct the disciples not to carry money or a change of clothes, nor to accept money or anything of value. Eat what is sit before you, and don't worry about anything. Jesus favor his on. I f you believe in me and I believe in you your faith,you will excell and do you will do unbelievable miracle. Trust in me, and not lean into your own understanding. I'm reference to

  • Patty Tozi on Matthew 1 - 3 years ago
    Where is God when my family runs away from the truth of who l really am in God? I exposed what the truth of what l went through, since l have an illness now that has hovered over me 2 years, as l worked non stop helping others. Always the worlds way. Now for the last 6 months l have turned all evilness of the world and the people who carry it inside to only God. Because of that, l can expose everyone for who they are, and how in God's light l can help. The corvid 19 l see taking over as a silent killer and more and more of mans control. Revelation has started. The enemy is now going after all the negatives you still hold to get you away from your Heavenly Father. The Christian's will have to fight as warriors to have an eternal life in Heaven. Become a warrior in the word of truth--God's Book the Bible, and on your knees keep God close as you battle. I cannot warn you more then this-- for in my dreams God shows me truth. Do not straddle the fence any more. Now is the day to chose the side you want. Talk with your kids. Do not let them suffer...l now pray for all that is reading this in The Blood of Jesus-- stay true to your Heavenly Father to the ending of your life. And Fight not only for yourself but for others God puts in front of you. Put yourself in His Hands Daily. And Fight for "The Good Life of Eternity" to the End.
  • Phillip Gallegos - In Reply on Matthew 1 - 3 years ago
    I believe with good faith that The Father (Almighty God), the Word (the Christ Lord) and the holy spirit are ONE.

    When God acts it is also the works of the Word and the Holy Spirit

    When the Word acts it is also the works of the Father and His Holy Spirit

    When the Holy Spirit acts it is also the works of the Word and the Father

    God the Father of Creation expresses His will through both the Word and His Holy Spirit

    By the Word of the Lord was the heavens created

    And God said let there be light

    And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
  • Mishael on the LET US who created everything - In Reply on Matthew 1 - 3 years ago
    LET US. That is the Godhead (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) conversing with each other. All three created everything.

    That is really stretching it. No one Loves Jesus more than I; I even have the cross on the wallpaper of my phone. I am also a student of the Bible, but it is what it is. Don't you realize the Jesus is the son of God? Why do you think he is called as being of the family of God? Half of his life is do to the Holy Spirit, which is of God the Creator.

    God bless and take care.
  • Joseph - In Reply on Matthew 1 - 3 years ago
    Jesus is like an adopted son of Joseph. I got this from the Jewish Virtual Library about adoption, "Once a child has been adopted, the adoptee must be treated as if it were biologically the adopter's own. The adoptee is required to honor and respect his/her parents in accordance with the laws of the Torah."

    As to his earthly identity, it follows that Jesus is indeed Joseph's son and belonging to the tribe of Judah in the lineage of David.
