Again, I agree. Pastors are men and while they have their priority with God that does not mean they are not allowed to take some time for self and family. The problem that @bbyrd009 and others likely too often see is with those who bear the label pastor but without a calling simply want to get...

Well something I may have omitted in my post was the purpose. We cannot receive such power for the wrong purpose. This is the asking "amiss" of which James wrote. What I am saying that as far as God's part it is possible for us to attain, but on our part we will always fall short in a measure...

I am certainly not disagreeing with you. But in spite of weariness we cannot quit, whether we are a pastor or not. Each of us must strive to do what God called us to do. God understands our frailties better that we do and He will not be unfair at any time. My pastor was called to the ministry...

He was a Sabbath keeper until He paid a price on the cross and the Holy Ghost was poured out on whosoever will thereafter. Jesus walked under the law given to Moses even though He was Lord of it. Once He had paid the price it was possible to move from the shadow world to the real world...

I would say rather that the power is restricted only insofar as we have restricted it. The question would be then: Who has not so restricted it? Is possible for a man to stop restricting the power of God? I would say, yes, if we ask for the right help from the right source at the right moment...

To say no is to say that they all failed in spite of God's help and so must we also. I don't believe that at all. The only difference the man Jesus was his lack of a personal sinful history. Once we, with God's help, get rid of our personal sinful history, why can we not from that point...

What stops us is most definitely us. I really believe if and when we completely surrender, we will completely overcome, which is what Jesus in his body of corruptible flesh did. If and when we do this how like Him will we be? "Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear...

Amen! Give God the glory! And consider also Rachel, the one called a keeper of her father's sheep: "And while he yet spake with them, Rachel came with her father's sheep: for she kept them." Gen 29:9

The Holy Spirit is that which provides us with "eyes to see" and "ears to hear" . Otherwise we are blind and deaf to the things of God, which includes what is written in inspired scriptures. The unequal yoke is that which binds people to the wrong things, which never accomplish things...

But the Lord speaks to my heart. He quickens scriptures to me so that they come alive as He sees fits, not as you decide or even as I decide. Don't try to put God in that bottle. He won't fit. He had a purpose for the natural Israelites to obey His written law. What was their failure? He has a...

It really need not read "burnt out pastor". It simply likely to be "burnt out" and one applicable verse is this one: "And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." Gal 6:9 The question we might ask is whether or not they are in the place God wants...

To do so would be to admit, for even a correct doctrine, that his wrong spirit would leave him outside of the Ark of Safety.

I guess the poll was looking for the ideal natural mother, but since, Mother Theresa, who was never such a mother was in the running we, as believers should perhaps consider these verses in making our own decision: "For it is written, that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other...

While he @bbyrd009 or any man has time, he has the dominion over his own direction... even if he chooses the wrong direction, same as you, same as me. The only supreme authority anywhere is God. But for an allotted time period, God gave man the rule over himself. Every man or woman except Jesus...

I do. I haven't missed a day of remembrance with Him in years. Is any amount enough?

And what does Jesus say of the Sabbath? "And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace." Mark 3:4 If all that we do is "good" or if we are at least to do everything good, what does setting aside a day...

Do we? Why do we? What is the matter with simply praying with ceasing and rejoicing in the Lord always? Meeting together is good, but why Sunday and why Saturday? Since school and work schedules are set as they are, one of those days is good for most. Since I neither work at a regular job nor do...

Not every one who lives for God is able to provide the kind of evidence you seek. For some it is simply written on their hearts one way or the other: "Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed." John...

What God has written on our hearts is known to us, but it may not be expressible in understandable words to everyone who might ask for an explanation. God can explain but He may or may not open our mouths to speak that explanationt. Considering how high God is and how low we are, why indeed...

If by definition you mean a group of words that a man can speak or write that fully explain God's meaning, I would be careful with that. The scriptures themselves are that "group of words" [containing in the KJV more than 700,000 words] and we see what men have done with that group of words...
