God's people needed to humble themselves and change their ways to what was acceptable to Him. Jehovah God would then pour out his blessing on his people and they would be restored to favor.

Amen Curt, I agree with you in prayer today. Amen

S Spencer's comment on 2021-04-04 10:36:37:

Hi Kenneth,

I Believe God gives the Holyspirit spirit when we are truly converted which is an act of his doing upon our trust and believe in the work of Christ on the cross.

That same Spirit convicts us of sin,

As we feed on the word "with faith" that same Spirit moves us different than the way we were before. It's not simply a change of mind, "IT'S A CHANGED HEART".

This is called fruit in your life that wasn't there before.

John 15:8. Herein is my Father glorified, that ye ""BEAR"" much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples.

NOTICE: YOU BEAR THE FRUIT YOU DON'T PRODUCE IT.

We do that by being connected to the true vine. JESUS.

John 15:1-4. I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth fruit, he purgeth it, that it may bring forth more fruit.

Now ye are clean through the word which I have spoken unto you.

Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

These verses emphasize "Virtue" by being connected!! A New Heart, The now inner Man.

Here's what's produced by the Vine:

Galatians 5:22-24. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith,

Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.

"And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts."

( The last sentence here is perhaps the death of the old Heart. "Not Old Nature".

by us being in Christ at his death. The new Heart and Power supplied by The Holyspirit is given by us behind baptized into his resurrection!

ROMANS 6:1-5.

Romans 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

Our evidence is that our Hope is built on a rock and that rock is Jesus Christ. if you're saved you Have the Holyspirit.

Fear Doubt or Faith's comment on 2021-04-04 09:00:57:

This is your test.

1 Corinthians 12:3 | View whole chapter

Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Holy Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.

If we love Jesus, trust Him for the gift of salvation: our inner spirit that is born again cannot switch over and say what Jesus did on the Cross wasn't enough to save us.

Satan is a hunter of souls. Just like in the Book of Job, if he spots a weak place in our lives, that's where he's going to attack. Job's kids partied a lot, so to be on the safe side (fear), Job made sacrifices for them. Satan saw this. He sent storms that wiped out his family. His wife accused Job. One of Satans Names is Accuser of the brethern.

Chaos and confusion; doubts and fears are the Fruits of Satans presence. Don't forget that. We must live out Ephesians chapter 6. We have to fight back.

No matter what else Job did, he trusted God in his heart (where the Spirit of God resides). At the end of this battle, God replaces Everything Job lost , and More.

Go back and stay in John chapter 3, until you can stand on what Jesus is saying. 1 John chapter 1:9. Decide to cut Satan out of your thought life. That's where the real battle is fought. Reject accusations. Do what you know is good and right in Gods eyes. Not yours.

We cannot grow up in Jesus if we do not read the Bible, and apply it to our lives. Remember Jobs doubts and fears. Sometimes it takes a 100 failures till we lock into Jesus and do what we see to do, in His Word. He is the Word.

LISTEN to what comes out of your mouth.

Mishael

Carleton's comment on 2021-04-04 08:29:12:

Here is some courage Kenneth!

"If one is troubled or burdened about whether he has blasphemed the Holy Ghost, this burden indicates that he has not. One who has indeed blasphemed the Holy Spirit would not feel the conviction and drawing of the Holy Ghost.

Such an one would experience absolutely no desire to be saved".

The New Birth and Conversion needs to be our hope in Jesus Christ where we can understand the Holy Spirit that Jesus guides us with from within. Love to you from myself and brethren that wrote the above.

Kenneth Radke's comment on 2021-04-04 06:58:19:

I am always struggling with fear and doubt. I want to serve God with all my heart but I keep praying for the Holy Spirit's anointing on me. I fear having blasphemed somehow, the Holy Spirit. How do I know I have the Holy Spirit in me?

God is talking about Israel in this verse, when he says he will heal their land.

Prayer to release Finances's comment on 2020-09-01 19:34:42:

Dear God, I am asking for favor financially, which I quickly need. My problems with money are never-ending. If it's not one thing, then it is another problem. Please, assist me and then assist all of us who are struggling financially with too much debt and an abundance of bills to pay. All of us are struggling just to get by, but still, are not making enough. We look to You for our Help.

I pray Lord you will send forth an angel to hasten the checks that are due to me, so I may prove my willingness to glorify You with a reputation for paying bills on time.

I place my faith in You and no other. Help me to be at peace in the mean time. Your Word says, I will keep in perfect peace whose mind has stayed on Me.

Thank you, God, for your blessing on us. Amen.

Pray this till your breakthrough arrives. Pray in Ephesians 6, against invisible enemies that seek to hinder our faith in Gods promises. Your friend, Mishael

Pray for people in the Philippines; who have had many Large earthquakes in recent days

Mishael's comment on 2020-08-16 05:09:49:

I'm going to send you here. I think you are ready to knock down some strongholds.

GetBibleAnswers dot org. I can't put the link on here for you.

Go in there and find the spiritual warfare prayers against Satan and his demons.

Before you study that, go through everything in your home that a demon will use as a doorway. Certainly anything that qualifies as an Idol. Books, novels, strange jewelry: ask Holy Spirit to help you.

Keep 1 John 1:9 on your fridge so you can stop and pray as soon as that spirit of fear with his buddy Torments begin to harass, hinder and accuse. That's 4 names who are stalking you.

BIND them in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. CAST (send elsewhere) Them (names) into dry, hot deserts. It hurts their feet.

Then pray and ASK Jesus to send angels to guard the 4 corners of your home.

They hate praise music! But the angels love it. Listen to some DION on Youtube. (Kingdom in the Streets; Terry Talbot-Wake Up America; Maybe Terry's brother, John Michael Talbots songs. I went to the same Church as, Carman: you'll like his songs.

David's comment on 2020-08-02 11:04:12:

Barbara, your question and plea for help is indeed your first step to coming close to God. You are earnestly seeking Him, and my fervent advice to you is to stop "trying". To surrender yourself to Jesus. It is Jesus that pulls you to Him, to His ever-loving bosom. Through your faith, Jesus dissolves your worldly lusts and desires, and gradually you become ever-more receptive to experience the miracles that Jesus pours out upon you, in such glorious abundance! May you pray to God your Father in the name of Jesus to open your spiritual eyes. May God so bless you abundantly, I pray, Amen.

Barbara Miller's comment on 2020-08-02 01:28:15:

Yes, II thought I became a Christian at. 23years old.I walked up an aisle, was a Roman Catholics, then. And everything they were telling me to do, I thought I had done. And I sat back down, pleased with myself. A girlfriend had invited me to his healing service. And I never heard from her again. Meanwhile, I was on my own, sinning, even had an abortion. Then I met a gentleman, whom I later, married, who knew the Bible inside and outside. I knew God. Wanted me to know Himself and the Bible. But my mom had told me the Bible was a book of fables. And so I had many doubt's, and still do. When I t ry to read the bible, I get really anxious, and read like I!m reading fiction. How do I get the faith to believe all that the Bible says, and that Jesus is real, and is the Word Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Joel's comment on 2020-07-29 09:21:26:

You can humble yourself with Prayer. By so doing your prayer will be answer easily. Fasting Humble us and avert God judgement in our life. Until you are humble you can not get anything from God.

peter's comment on 2020-06-07 09:31:18:

a lot of people have forgotten how to pray, but I expect we will see them down on their knees for prayer before Corona is over. I hoping to see young people, particular the ones who have accepted Christ as their saviour, down on their knees for prayer praying to God

Chris's comment on 2020-06-01 20:42:26:

That was a good example of Humility in action. I also see it as stemming from one's attitude about oneself. Most people would like to think of themselves better than others: whether in their appearance, their jobs, wealth, or achievements. That's one of the characteristics of the sin nature coming to the fore: that of glorification of self to the despising or minimizing the worth of others.

The perfect example of Humility is seen in the Lord Jesus (Phil 2:3-8) as He first humbled Himself by becoming a man & then was obedient to a shameful death; He as the Word of God need not have had to experience any of this, but for the sake of our salvation, He humbled Himself. And then in Rom 12:3, Paul instructs them to not think of themselves as greater than others (this was in reference to use of gifts in the Church, but translates to every day life as well). So our position as Christians has to be one of taking the lower position so that our brother or sister in Christ may be the one that is given the higher position in our eyes. We then reflect that beautiful quality of the Godhead.

daisy chakawa's comment on 2020-06-01 18:14:19:

l think everyone who calls themselves Christian should be hunble . To be called Humble means you have a good quality of faith or that the faith is the goodness of your answer or reply applied n every situation by words or actions that are in line with the word of God . eg your reply to the simple question good morning when your enemy greets you . Your answer should reveal meekness and humbleness it will be good morning my sweet heart not good morning you stupid idiot revealing your anger and resentment towards yesterday s conversations that was not resolved .Your action of faith in a situation of hunger and poverty is to feed and clothes
