To Ronnette

I think you got Rinnetts reply. Some days my eyesight is challenged. I'm way over-due to get my vision checked. I apologize. This won't happen again I hope.

I'll go back in the history pages and find the comment I wrote to you. Thanks for letting me know.

StreetPreacher:

Why did you respond to memorized Joel 2? Do you know something I did not know from my inquiry?

I am very curious.

Be Encouraged Today and Trust in the Lord's comment on 2022-06-07 08:50:15:

I truly believe if we seek the Lord with all of our hearts and strength, we will have favor with the King of Kings. I saw that in the Book of Esther.

It was her destiny to save her people from execution.

She prepared to intercede by preparation for the Kings presence. That tells me it's not a matter of "works". It's about love for what the Lord loves. She didn't ask for anything for herself. She asked on behalf of.

Women are not lesser than a man. God formed Eve from one of Adams ribs. [in Texas we get excited about ribs]

She wasn't over Adams head, nor from his feet. She came from his side; near his heart. Just remember that, because it gets tested frequently. Women are more likely to praise and worship; and pray for favor over everyone in the house, community, and church.

If they don't do that; as it says in the Book of Acts: the ship breaks up and everyone grabs broken pieces of ship, to get to the shore alive on.

One of my favorite Paul stories: he's burning the wood to dry out and a deadly snake comes out of the fire and bites Paul. The other sailors eyes bug out waiting for Paul to fall over dead. He throws more wood on the fire.

God broke apart the ship, provided broken pieces (of our lives) to get to shore with. He made the wet wood to burn. And thena miracle!

It reminds me, of me. My life was a pile of lumber until the Lord put it back together. Not the same, but better.

Be encouraged because we are in the Will of God.

The Obedience of Prayers:

Thank you my fellow believer. I have looked them up. My prayers include Israel visit in the near future. I may attend one of his concert.

Enjoy the kingdom of God.

Romans 14:17

For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost.

The Obedience of Prayers's comment on 2022-06-06 18:40:22:

I am grateful that you are chosen to pray for the peace of Jerusalem.

I heard this man's testimony: Joshua Aaron, who is a Messianic Jew. He was living in the USA, but moved to Israel. He learned to speak Hebrew. Has wife and children. His joy as a Jewish Christian is pure excitement. I hope you'll listen to his praise songs on YouTube.

Keep on praying. Blessings and Joy

You might find Nelson Walters programs thought provoking, as I do. Can't wait to search it out for myself.

Our prayers can absolutely help other Jews be freed from rituals, to turn to their Messiah and be forgiven.

Ronnette's comment on 2022-06-06 17:14:22:

Reading the entire Bible, I just can't imagine the magnitude of the righteousness of men over God where we have given superfluous examples of how the victory belongs to Israel if and when they trust, believe and have faith with the true King Jesus Christ. No matter how many time I read the Bible the true wisdom, knowledge and understanding only comes to men when you accept the most gracious gift God has given to the entire world-The precious blood of Jesus Christ, the only begotten of God.

The POWER is in CHRIST JESUS BLOOD. I cannot express that enough.

Now the power of men surely have not been successful for 2,000 years. They may think they were successful but we know that life on earth is too short for what they may say an earthly success and richness; but it is an awful long time to be dead burning in Hell.

I pray for Israel to be saved, but it is written until the fullness of the Gentiles be come in. I always think about this mystery:

Romans 11:25

For I would not, brethren, that ye should be ignorant of this mystery, lest ye should be wise in your own conceits; that blindness in part is happened to Israel, until the fulness of the Gentiles be come in.

Just recently more focus on praying for all living saints. Hoping we all fast at a certain time to pray for the fullness of the Gentiles and safety of Israel.

Peace to all from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Streetpreacher:

I had the most amazing experience while reading your response. Actually after I have posted the question, God gave me an answer. I was studying the Kingdom of God and the Kingdom of Heaven.

What an amazing revelation to feel our King Jesus Christ's powerful WORD.

I have been in the Kingdom of God for quite sometime now. During my studies, I know I still need to know more.

My background with the help of God Almighty gave me more insights to enhance the God given gift of discernment.

Your response somehow unexplainable God given timing. I am a bit unsure about what God is telling me, but I will do as you suggested, for I felt the presence of God with your response.

We do have a living God; and walking in His Spirit I truly wanted to serve The Almighty God for the rest of my life.

Thank you and my prayers are for all saints. I love them all.

Grace and peace from God our Father in Heaven and our Lord Jesus Christ.

Streetpreacher's comment on 2022-06-06 10:14:50:

Memorize Joel 2 also.

Counsel: if you discern Gods call on your life, you must get into scripture like life depends upon it.

Now, God ANOINTED a shepherd boy (David). Read that. David heard the Philistines taunt against Saul and the men of Israel.

He strode out to the battlefield (a teen-aged boy) with only a sling and 5 stones. Goliath (a giant) died of his brain being caved-in by one stone. David took his head, as was the manner of challenges.

We cannot confirm this or that. If God calls you to Ministry, he will anoint His Word and the messenger. You, must ask the HOLY SPIRIT to teach you.

People in a Bible Comment room cannot do that or replace the Holy Spirits ministry as Teacher. It's your job to faithfully get alone with HIM, and ask Him, to teach you.

Interestingly, after killing Goliath, David went to be Sauls music minister at court. David's life is a study in advances to being Gods anointed King; falling into sin, and repenting of it, and living out the rest of his life.

Isaiah 61 and Luke 4:18. It is the anointing that sets people free.

Ronnette's comment on 2022-06-05 20:44:35:

Who is the Son of man who was made the "watchman"? Have you noticed that Ezekiel 3:17-19 is repeated in Ezekiel 33:7-9?

The Son of man is Jesus Christ based on Matthew 26:24, Mark 14:21, and John 12:34.

Just what to confirm my understanding on these verses.

Thank you.
