Aloha brother Jarred, best regards to the Family there! GBY!
Being in His arms...? That's home. No matter where that may be. - "For whoever does the will of My Father who is in heaven, he is My brother and sister and mother." Matthew 12:50 KJV
Lovely dear Seagrit England - Yes, But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. Galations 5:22-23 KJV
Thank you for the tender mercies you bear! Love and Prayers!!
Amen, growing up Robert Schuller's messages always caught my attention. His Spirited personality and smile left an indelible impression of the witness of God's love! Wonderful Callie, thank God, he's now graduated from this life and resting in Love's eternal embrace! God bless you!!
HEALING IS A SAMPLE OF RESURRECTION!
Pain is a touch of Hell, healing is a touch of Heaven! Healing is a sample of everlasting life, renewal of the body, cure of disease. It's a touch of resurrection!
When we experience Salvation, we get a little sample of what eternal Salvation and Heaven are going to be like. We have "tasted of the Heavenly gift and the powers of the World to come," as His Word says (Heb.6:4,5). Likewise, when we get healed we have a little sample of what God is going to do one of these days. We don't have the full resurrection yet but we can have a little TOUCH once in awhile! We already have His healing power manifest in our bodies through the Lord's healing, but it will not be really complete until we receive our eternal supernatural indestructible bodies on which death no longer has any power or claim whatsoever!
One of these days when Jesus finally heals us of our old bodies, we'll get NEW bodies, better than the old! That's the best healing of all! When we die, that's the final healing! Then we don't have any more diseases, or sickness, or pain! That's permanent healing, final resurrection! Hallelujah!
Yes, it's natural to get Ones Salvation structured according to your faith, dear Ken. You're welcome to your interpretation of Christ. ATHWO!
For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned. Matthew 12:37 KJV
As for the Christian Faith, we only have 2 commandments:
The Greatest Commandment (Mark 12:30-32)
…30AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.' 31"The second is this, 'YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.' There is no other commandment greater than these." 32The scribe said to Him, "Right, Teacher; You have truly stated that HE IS ONE, AND THERE IS NO ONE ELSE BESIDES HIM;… NASB
"WAIT ON THE LORD!" (PSA.27:14).
What does that really mean, "Wait on the Lord"? Well, a lot of people have taken that to mean they're supposed to sit around doing nothing while they wait for God to do something. They're waiting for God to do something for them rather than with them. They're not waiting on God!--God's waiting on them to get busy!
Finding God's Will is not just sitting around doing nothing!--It's doing what you can! The secret is doing something else while you're waiting. To "wait on the Lord" is like a servant waits on his master. That's the kind of waiting the Lord is talking about. "Wait on the Lord" like a waiter or a waitress, serve the Lord, keep busy!
And that's what we do for the house of God: We are His servants taking care of His house, His children. We feed and clothe them and take care of His babies, and He really is grateful for our help and admires us for our service. The picture of waiting on the Lord is like waiters and waitresses waiting on a customer, where the customer is king and can do no wrong! That's serving the Lord, that's waiting on the Lord, that's ministering to the Lord and others!
Yes, lovely HappyLady Switzerland - nothing out of the norm, just fatigue probably. More over Ones desires may have been obscured, overly passionate, unrealistically moving over the boundaries. Yes, it does stir the populous and challenge those who slept at ease in Zion.
It could be that anxiety gave her some awakening results when faith was exercised. Behind all changes that come upon God's faithful - burdens are delivered strengthening the sincere seeker, giving grace and peace to the Things He's allowed, wherein the events are approved with wonderful expectations in progress. Times moving in the Way, are never wasted. Cling tightly to God's heart and promises that moves ever so brightly unto His perfect will; and you'll be glad you stayed faithful and kept on trusting! Love and Prayers! GBY!
I know you're not alone with your opinion of our President, Lonelytiger Indiana; The Bible teaches "Owe No Man Anything, Save to Love"! (Romans 13:8 KJV) Constructive criticism is better on our dating reviews - Moron is quite unrealistic; try walking in his shoes. Best of Love!
Dear Ken, thanks for your harsh opinions; your scripture understand lacks much truth: as Jesus noted "Ye do err not knowing the scriptures." Interpretation weighs heavily in "dividing the word of truth." Best of Love! (Matthew 6:33; 22:29 & 2 Timothy 2:15)
For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ-But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I desire mercy, and not sacrifice: - For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. (John 1:17; & Romans 9:15 KJV)
Thanks for your comment Almera England, I'm sure we'll hear about them in good time. Best of Love!

Yes dear XuanMai, the Children have always been a wonderful encouragement that sparkles and shines, driving the dark flood tides from our midst with joys unspeakable and full of glory! Love and Prayers!!
Amen, Wonderful dear XuanMai; yes, the Lord blesses the diligent seekers: 2 Peter 1:10 - "Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence to make your calling and election sure: for if ye do these things, ye shall never fall." God bless and make you a continual blessing to all! Love you!!
"ABIDE IN ME, AND I IN YOU" (JN.15:4).
In the famous beautiful 15th Chapter of John Jesus says, "I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in Him, the same bringeth forth much fruit, for without Me ye can do nothing! If a man abide not in Me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned!" (Jn.15:5,6). If ever you, as a branch don't abide in the Vine, don't abide in Christ, don't abide in His love, His Word, His service, then you will become unfruitful and withered and you will be cast forth as a branch!--Not lost, not unsaved, but cast aside as being no longer useful.
Without the flow of the Spirit there is no life. You must be firmly implanted in the Vine where you're receiving the juice and the sap and the nourishment that you need directly from the Lord Himself.--And a lot of how you grow is up to you, by how much nourishment you receive! So don't cut yourself off from the Vine!
He said, "Without Me ye can do nothing." But if you are dwelling in the Vine, as one of the branches, then you can produce the beautiful leaves and the beautiful fruit that you need to produce so that He may be glorified and have much fruit!
Thank you, Yes Conrade of Switzerland, Janet left with this note... "The outgoing Homeland Security Secretary has a warning for her successor: A massive and “serious” cyber attack on the U.S. homeland is coming, and a natural disaster — the likes of which the nation has never seen — is also likely on its way--Best of Love!
For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus. Philippians 1:6
Greetings dear Johnny and lovely Avias Missouri, Wonderfully expressed Johnny - It's in the "Fear of the Lord that we find Confidence and Refuge"! "The fear of man bringeth a snare." (Proverbs 14:26 & 29:25) God bless you both! "And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:7 KJV) Love you!!
WHY DOES SO MUCH OF THE WORLD REFUSE TO BELIEVE IN GOD? BECAUSE THEY CHOOSE TO BE IGNORANT!
Do you know what God's greatest credentials are, the genuine proof of His authority? His Creation! His glorious Creation is a constant testimony of the existence of a Divine Designer and Creator, as Romans 1:20 says, "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made (His Creation), even His eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse!"
Although the whole Creation testifies of the existence of the invisible God, the world refuses to receive the testimony, because they're in rebellion against God! They don't want to know Him and they don't want to confess that He exists, because if they recognize Him, then they have to admit that they owe Him some kind of obeisance and obedience. If the world and its inhabitants ARE God's Creation, then they're His property--and if they're His property, then He's got the right to be Boss, not them!
Those who refuse to see God in His Creation are like the farmer the first time he saw a giraffe and said, "There just ain't no such thing!"--But just because they won't believe it doesn't make it not so!
35 Bible Verses about Being Confident on line
Philippians 4:13
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
Hebrews 4:16
Therefore let us draw near with confidence to the throne of grace, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Deuteronomy 31:6
"Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the LORD your God is the one who goes with you He will not fail you or forsake you."
Amen, dear Candykid, I really don't know if Ken is a true seeker, so I'll give him the benefit of a doubt and answers with "Owe no man any thing, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law." Romans 13:8 KJV God bless and keep you trusting!!
Greetings faithful and true, lovely XuanMai Vietnam and brother Jim Wisconsin - Thank you for the light and praise that encourages and uplifts the multi-faceted nature of Influence! God bless and keep you trusting!!
Those times Love called, whether a child in need or the answering to the heart cries of Jesus to reach the lost... the reward is eternal to all you've applied your heart and strengths to!
In Psalms 1:1-6 the Bible says that everything you do will prosper.
He shall be like a tree Planted by the rivers of water, That brings forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also shall not wither; And whatever he does shall prosper.
You're beautiful dear Mariekyle Central Hong Kong, may His love continue to encourage you heart and strengthen you faith! God bless you!!
A CROWN OF LIFE IS EVEN MORE THAN A REWARD!
The Lord promised, "He that is faithful unto the end I will give a crown of life!" (Rev.2:10). That was not talking about Salvation! Salvation is a gift from God!--You don't work for that or earn that at all! But your crown is your reward and even more! It's not only a reward, but it symbolizes a lot of work and heavy responsibility!
We're saved already, whether we endure to the end or not, but we'll be given special rewards, special crowns, special medals, special honor and a special shining if we manage to be a special blessing while here!
Of course, you're going to fall down before the Lord and cast your crowns before Him like the 24 elders! (Rev.4:10). Every time you start praising the Lord you're going to forget all about that crown and it's going to tumble off right at His feet. But, He gave it to you, so you'd better pick it up again and wear it, because that's the one He gave you! That's what's going to show what you have done for the Lord. And the Lord wants the world to see it, He wants the people to see it, He wants all creation to see the badge of your faithfulness, a Crown of Life!
Thank you for your prayers dear brother, Jarred! GBY!
Paul's Prayer for the Ephesians Ephesians 3:14-21 KJV
For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man; That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height; And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness of God.
Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.
