    Prayer

    4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all...

    Mark 8:31-38

    Therefore Jesus then rebukes Peter saying that his mind is set on the earthly things of what men know. Get behind me adversary - you can see how even into todays life if you have a problem you can rebuke that though by understanding that what you yourself are thinking about which is may pretain...

    Mark 8:31-38

    Going back now to where the disciples are standing there with Jesus - He is teaching them all about what he would go through, then he would die, but in three days he would be risen again. Which God did raise the Lord Jesus Christ up again. Jesus then goes on to teach them about what He must...

    Mark 8:31-38

    You can also see in the notion of Rejection to Jesus - In Isaiah 53:3 it says talking about how Jesus looked to people - from the prophet Isaiah - It reads " He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and aquainted with greif and as one from whom men hide their faces, he was despised...

    Mark 8:31-38

    In the last lesson we went over with Jesus and his disciples in Bethsaida which was the hometown of Peter, Andrew, and Philip, and it was know as the fishers town. While Jesus and his disciples come through that way, there was a group of people bring forth to the Lord a blindman who the group...

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    Don’t forgot when Paul also said this, Romans 9:6-7 - @Hidden In Him. I believe that Romans 9-11 all need good context to sort through.

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    Thank you for your insights and thoughts, HiddeninHim. I am someone who really does believe that Jesus had already made his return, and God is now reigning. :)

    Who Is The "Root" We're Grafted Into?

    I believe that once we believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, we become children of God, or daughter or son of God by growing in the spirit. I believe its indicated with the new convenant that people would be inducted as followers of the God of Israel - they would be grafted in because of the New...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    I believe the beatitudes is a stepping stone of spiritual growth, leading from being poor in spirit, mourning, to gentleness, and so forth, @Robert Gwin I believe it’s a never ending cycle in a Christians life. Some times people can go from being poor in spirit and then become higher in their...

    Silly question, but a thought provoking one:

    Thank you for sharing with me your view @Robert Gwin. As not knowing this prior this has helped me understand either way that you are a Christian. It is true that Jesus had said strait is the way. Which is tough and narrow (Matthew 7:14), and to me when a person has come to terms with-in their...

    Praying, Supplications, Intercession for all people is Good and acceptable to God.

    “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our...

    Understanding the Trinity.

    “For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek.” ‭‭Romans‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

    Was Jesus a spirit being before coming to earth as a human?

    “Now in the sixth month the angel Gabriel was sent by God to a city of Galilee named Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man whose name was Joseph, of the house of David. The virgin’s name was Mary. And having come in, the angel said to her, “Rejoice, highly favored one, the Lord is with you...

    Jesus has had the victory already the War is over.

    It depends on how you see it, Windmill. The war is seemingly with our flesh and the spirit. The only way to combat that is reading the word and hearing the word which builds faith. I see Jesus’s complete and overwhelming victory instated now today. His victory over Satan that he cast out of...
