The 'like' I gave you was Not because I agree with you completely, [you know that I do not] but rather because you are a man who believes strongly and presents what you see to be God's case. I do believe that God looks at our hearts. Give God the glory!

The apparent conflict you see is the one I see with regard to every man considering this verse: "God hath not cast away his people which he foreknew." Rom 11:2 I believe that God knew at all time [before the foundation of the world] who was going to make it to the end with Him and who was...

I will add to my last post to you that I did not 'reject' his suggestion. My own carnal mind is also still working actively in my head. That is my part of the double mindedness that needs to go... that needs to be killed. When I am in the Spirit I always know precisely the difference between the...

Thank you for this. I don't disagree with Joseph's idea. It is simply that I don't remember really getting into the question before. I have heard people speak of it, and if Jesus is God, or he at least existed with the Father prior to the birth to Mary in Bethlehem, it can makes sense. My...

Just off the top on this... Sometimes I believe that people are hearing, but they are expecting it to come to them in some different way and effectively deny they really have been hearing from God. They do that too much and after a while, they will deny that they heard anything at all. His...

We have been better, but physically we are OK. Two deaths this week but no funerals to attend. My wife's brother in San Francisco is too far away at our ages and health to attend in any case. The other was only 60 miles away in Oklahoma City, but his death attributed to Covid 19 and the present...

My wife's only surviving brother passed away on Monday, 7-20-2020. This morning 7-25-2020 my first cousin, with whom I had been very close also died. Please keep us in prayer as we seek God's comfort.

@Joseph77 While you may be correct I would like to see a verse or verses which clearly state or in some way support that Jesus was there and agreed with the plan beforehand. None immediately come to my mind and after a cursory search of some older writings I might have about this I found...

One more time on this... Jesus, the man of flesh cried out to his Father, why? "And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." Matt 26:39 Like every one of us...

My wife did the same. She made several dozen easily washable masks and gives them to family friends and anyone who wants them. She has a lot more trouble wearing them than I do because of multiple lung problems. My worst complaint is the heat multiplication when it is already quite hot outside...

@My Dreams Praying now!

Yes, it is possible although many even on this forum will deny it. They presume that because they cannot do somethings on their own, like stop sinning, that even God in them cannot. Talk about limiting God!

Until and if we have by the power of God in us overcome everything that stands between us and God how single-minded on God's side are we all of the time? Some are on the approach, but who other than God is capable of judging the quality of that approach? What is it that God is looking for in...

You certainly are quick to jump to conclusions to condemn or criticize. Again it is fortunate, you have not been given the job of making binding final decisions for God about anyone else. You still have said nothing to change the validity of the man's testimony. You did not hear it and even I...

I agree generally with what you are saying. Yes, God has a time table for each of us. Each of us is, or has been, in a measure doubleminded, a mixture, of the things according to God's Way and some other ways [including, or especially, of course our own]. How much of our doublemindedness is for...

Communication is always a problem, is it not? Any true believer has a vision of the things of God. Some people will have what they call a vision, but as you indicate, they don't know God at all. Most people around us on planet Earth, even though walking around with physical eyes open are dead...

I am not speaking about single visions or dreams any one person may have. I am speaking about what any true believer is seeing of God and the things of God. Remember what Solomon wrote: "Where there is no vision, the people perish:.." Prov 29:18 Apostle Paul clarifies the same thing for a...

@My Dreams Say prayers now for you and your place with special mention of your daughter and parents!

Good words, but did I contradict them somewhere? I don't believe so...

Everyone was dead and therefore also blind to the things of God until and if they received a vision of Him. Early on the vision is blurry or is seen as through darkened glass, but as we decrease [which any believer should be doing] and as He increases within us, will not our vision move ever...
