&lt;span class=&quot;verse-28&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box;&quot;&gt;I stayed in Singapore for almost 6 years and I meet different kinds of people in terms of religion, &amp;nbsp;race, and color. I saw Hindus, &amp;nbsp;Buddhist, Muslims, Christians and so on...I saw many people died and theit wake sometimes below our block. Some in the areas rented for funeral wake who also cater from start to finishes. &amp;nbsp;Some buried in the cemetery and some were cremated.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;verse font-helvetica&quot; style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; color: #333333; cursor: pointer; display: inline; font-family: helvetica, arial; font-size: 1.3em !important; line-height: 28px; outline: none !important;&quot;&gt;

Even our famity members never escape death on her younger years mid 30&#39;s yet having a cancer. Sickness, accidents, killed in sudden events has one meaning. Death is enevitable,everybody will face death.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before death happens every person has given a chance to live on this world. How we live our lives depends on every persons choice. &amp;nbsp;God gives us freedom to chose between good and evil.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The bible wrote Adam and Eve lived thousand years of immortality. They never dies until such time they disobeyed God&#39;s commands to.eat the the forbidden fruit. Death starts from disobedience of God&#39;s command. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Humans heart Condition:&lt;br /&gt;
Regardless of religion I saw different types of people. I saw Buddhist who has a a good heart and their attitude and character are better than as what those who pronounced themselves as Christians or Muslims. I saw Muslims who also have a good heart and better than Christians. So in my own point of view it&#39;s not about what is your religion but God looks at the heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I saw many Christians who treated their household helper in a very bad manner. They can eat in a lunch buffet while their maids are left in hunger maybe they will think that these people are low class aa and they can&#39;t join us with our circle. I saw in my very own eyes. Even some of my friends Christians, Buddhist they never consider their maids as sane human but looks at them as lower standard. &amp;nbsp;Sometimes I&#39;m. Compiled to give them.money and ask them to eat while we are are eating with her employers. Thus is just an ordinary happenings and to them it&#39;s not a bug deal. But consider this in the eyes of God He never looks at what is your status her on earth whether you are a maid or you are the billionaire or a prime minister. GOD only looks at the heart.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Human standard and God&#39;s standard&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Humans tried their best to get everything they want. It&#39;s every indI visuals desire to accumulate wealth and prestige and honor. They want to be known if their riches. Some they do all.means just to be rich either in illegal and legal means. What really drives is self satisfaction and to achieve their dreams. We can&#39;t blame everybody because that&#39;s the life they want. We salute to those who accumulates world wealth but it doesn&#39;t end there. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Abundance is created primarily through breaking and&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;sharing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;2. Anything that is shared multiplies, expands and attracts&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;others of its kind. When money is shared, it multiplies,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;expands and increases.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;3. The law of sowing and reaping begins to operate in&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;your favor when you share the first fruits with God.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;4. There is a divine distribution point in the spiritual&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;realm that you could call the “ocean of abundance.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;You attach yourself to it by becoming a re-distribution&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;point yourself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;5. There are spiritual enemies that can divert the flow&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;of abundance from you unless you know how to deal&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;with them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;6. You must confirm to God that you’ve overcome&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;covetousness for Him to usher you into the higher&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;realms of abundance.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;7. For those who have been faithfully paying their tithes,&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;sowing seeds in their local churches, and sharing with&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;others, but have still not tapped into the ocean of&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;abundance, certain spiritual gates may need to be&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;dismantled. That can be achieved by releasing a steady&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;stream of hot, gate-destroying prayers until abundance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;begins to flow into your life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Are You Ready?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;The Lord issued everyone born into this world with a key for&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;unlocking the gate of abundance. Unfortunately, most folks&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;had their key stolen; some while still in the womb, others at&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;PASSION PRAYER OF JESUS THE CHRIST &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;the gate of birth, and the rest during their time of ignorance&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;without Jesus.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;You cannot prosper or create any abundance without&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;recovering that key. What’s more, you need to cooperate&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;with God so that He can smash open the gates for you to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;enter into the dimension of abundance that He wants to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;take you through.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;The spirits of these last days preventing folks from swimming&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;in the ocean of abundance operate at the gate. The few&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;prayers in this section are designed by the Holy Spirit to&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;overthrow any evil gate keeping you away from your&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;abundance. You’ll be victorious in Jesus’ name.

It is written; do not be afraid of sudden terror, nor of the&lt;br /&gt;trouble from the wicked when it comes; for the LORD will&lt;br /&gt;be your confidence. And will keep your foot from being caught&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Prov. 3:26). Therefore, O Lord, cover me and my loved&lt;br /&gt;ones from the activities of terrorists in Jesus’ name.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. It is written; avenge me of my adversary (Lk.18.3).&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, O God, arise and avenge me of all my&lt;br /&gt;adversaries in the name of Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3. It is written; they fought from the heavens; the stars from&lt;br /&gt;their courses fought against Sisera (Jud. 5:20). Therefore,&lt;br /&gt;O heavens, fight for me in the name of Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;4. It is written; I will purge the rebels from among you, and&lt;br /&gt;those who transgress against Me; I will bring them out of&lt;br /&gt;the country where they dwell, but they shall not enter the&lt;br /&gt;land of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD&lt;br /&gt;(Ezek. 20:38). Therefore, O Lord, purge and sanitize&lt;br /&gt;my household in the name of Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;5. It is written; then it was so, after all your wickedness—&lt;br /&gt;‘woe, woe to you!’ says the Lord God (Ezek. 16:23).&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, woe unto all the vessels that the enemy is&lt;br /&gt;using to do me harm in the name of Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;6. It is written; behold, therefore, I stretched out My hand&lt;br /&gt;against you, diminished your allotment, and gave you up&lt;br /&gt;to the will of those who hate you . . . (Ezek. 16:27).&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, let my enemies be delivered into the hands&lt;br /&gt;of their enemies in the name of Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;7. It is written; you shall be for fuel of fire; your blood shall&lt;br /&gt;be in the midst of the land. You shall not be remembered,&lt;br /&gt;for I the Lord have spoken (Ezek. 21:32). Therefore, let&lt;br /&gt;all my spiritual enemies become fuel for divine fire in&lt;br /&gt;the name of Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;8. It is written; then they will know that I am the Lord, when&lt;br /&gt;PASSION PRAYER OF JESUS THE CHRIST 143&lt;br /&gt;I have set a fire in Egypt and all her helpers are destroyed&lt;br /&gt;(Ezek. 30:8). Therefore, O Lord, let all the helpers of&lt;br /&gt;my enemies be destroyed in the name of Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;9. It is written; and the people to whom they prophesy shall&lt;br /&gt;be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem because of the famine&lt;br /&gt;and the sword; they will have no one to bury them—them&lt;br /&gt;nor their wives, their sons nor their daughters—for I will&lt;br /&gt;pour their wickedness on them (Jer. 14:16). Therefore,&lt;br /&gt;O Lord, pour the wickedness of those who seek to&lt;br /&gt;destroy me upon their own heads in the name of Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;10. It is written; call together the archers against Babylon. All&lt;br /&gt;you who bend the bow encamp against it all around; let&lt;br /&gt;none of them escape. Repay her according to her work;&lt;br /&gt;According to all she has done, do to her; For she has been&lt;br /&gt;proud against the Lord, against the Holy One of Israel&lt;br /&gt;(Jer. 50:29). Therefore, let all the hosts of the Lord&lt;br /&gt;turn against my spiritual enemies in the name of Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;11. It is written; Let God arise, let His enemies be scattered; let&lt;br /&gt;those also who hate Him flee before Him (Ps. 68:1).&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, O God arise, and let all your enemies in&lt;br /&gt;my life be scattered in the name of Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;12. It is written; and he that searches the hearts knows what&lt;br /&gt;the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession&lt;br /&gt;for the saints according to the will of God (Rom.8:27).&lt;br /&gt;Therefore, the intercessory prayers of Jesus, who is&lt;br /&gt;seated on the right hand of the throne of God, will&lt;br /&gt;not be in vain over my life, in the name of Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;13. It is written; the Lord is your keeper; the Lord is the shade&lt;br /&gt;at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, nor&lt;br /&gt;the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all&lt;br /&gt;evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;your going out and your coming in from this time forth,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;and even forevermore (Ps. 121:5-8). Therefore, O Lord,&lt;br /&gt;spread your covering of fire and the blood of Jesus over&lt;br /&gt;me and my loved ones, in the precious name of Jesus.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;14. It is written; rejoice always, pray without ceasing, in&lt;br /&gt;everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ&lt;br /&gt;Jesus for you (1 Thess.5:16-18). Therefore, I thank you&lt;br /&gt;Father, for raising a spiritual shield over my loved ones&lt;br /&gt;and me. Thank you for giving me the heart to&lt;br /&gt;appreciate everything you’re doing for me. Thank you&lt;br /&gt;for filling my heart and my home with joy and peace&lt;br /&gt;that surpasses all understanding. Blessed be your name&lt;br /&gt;for all the answers to my prayers in Jesus’ name.

Paul warned Timothy about the coming last days. Last days started after the resurrection of Jesus. In our times this is the last days. Many prophecies of Jesus Christ already fulfilled and it manifested in our time. peoplele are selfish,they don&#39;t care the needs of others.

Some will do illegal activities just to earn money. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;During my prayer time, i ask God what happen to our world now,our country, and our community and family.

The only appoinement a man could not prepare is his appointment to death. He dont know the time ,the place and the way he died. Many of the Filipinos died everyday especially this time due to  the flood  ondoy. But the question is are they ready to face the judgement of God. When aperson dies he will face judgemnt. There are only two place where a person can go its either heaven and hell. Of all  appointments this is the most dangerous because it has no time date and place! Think of it.

First, living a lifestyle of sin indicates that you are not walking in the power of the Holy Spirit, regardless of what you say about your spiritual condition. You cannot regularly spend time studying and meditating on God&#39;s Word and walking in fellowship with the Holy Spirit , and persist in sin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Second, if you do not hate sin the way God&#39;s does then you do not truly know Him. There are those who continue in their sin yet insist that they love and belong to Him. John makes it clear: if you have  a lifestyle of sin you have not seen Him and do not know Him. You nay have prayed a sinners prayer, or made a commitment in your church, or been baptized, but the evidence of the Holy Spirit presence in your life is that you are defeating sin. This does not mean that you will never sin, but it does mean that you refuse to make sin a lifestyle and you immediately seek forgiveness when you sin (1John1:10). It means that you are oppose to sin ,as God is, and you allow the Holy Spirit to eradicate every trace of sin in your life. It means that when you sin you immediately confess it and repent of it and do whatever is necessary to avoid repeating your sin.&lt;br /&gt;If you find yourself falling into a sinful habits or not grieving over your sin as you once did, this indicates that you are not abiding in Christ. Return to Him in repentance; restore your fellowship with Him; and you will once again experience victory over your sin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Henry Blackaby and Richard Blackaby&lt;br /&gt;Experiencing God Daily Devotionals&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;titleHome&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.namb.net/site/c.9qKILUOzEpH/b.687605/k.6324/Blackaby_Daily_Devotion/apps/nl/newsletter.asp&quot;&gt;Believing God&#39;s Love&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;And we have known and believed the love that God has for us.

Mat.5:8. You can attend church services, read your Bible, and pray, but if sin fills  your heart, you will not see God.  you will know when you have encountered God because your life will no longer be the same.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Isaiah was concerned with the death of King Uzziah, the able king of Judah, but was disoriented to his heavenly King. Then something happened that forever exchanged Isaiah&#39;s life. God, in all His awesome majesty, appeared to him in the temple, surrounded by heavenly creatures. Instantly, God&#39;s presence made Isaiah aware of his sinfulness. One of the seraphim came to him with a burning coal and cleanse Isaiah. Immediately, Isaiah began to hear things he had never heard before. Now, he has aware of conversation in heaven concerning who might worthy to be God&#39;s messenger to the people. This prompted Isaiah&#39;s eager response. &quot;Here am I! send me.&quot; Now that God had cleanse Isaiah, he was aware of heavenly concerns and prepared to offer himself in God&#39;s service. Whereas Isaiah had been preoccupied with earthly matters, now his only concern was the activity of God.&lt;br /&gt;  If you have become estranged from God and his activity, you need to experience His cleansing. Sanctification prepares you to see and hear God. It enables you to serve him. Only God can purify your heart. Allow Him to remove any impurities that hinder your relationship with him, and then your service to him will have meaning as you offer Him your consecrated life.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Henry Blackaby and Richard Blackaby&lt;br /&gt;Experiencing God Daily Devotionals&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://biblical-insight.blogspot.com/feeds/9127504684049956531/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://biblical-insight.blogspot.com/2009/09/pure-heart.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8250166453779712293/posts/default/9127504684049956531'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8250166453779712293/posts/default/9127504684049956531'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://biblical-insight.blogspot.com/2009/09/pure-heart.html' title='A Pure Heart'/><author><name>jmd ventures international</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04951056026207317313</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPNiTeBIRjTfE0o2fpNzd1UQJTeTHoFmv-JZpvhhdcEhN2z6khuKV6Le0c9ZXTo1dGVVHOafNbxd4ubPnVX6Emv4rsYGd6Iw1vfeo_gq50ADW77Qan0bxqwYBM25Kdhd0Mu-qi1N0dcgI/s72-c/Isaiah.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250166453779712293.post-4622275254405188191</id><published>2009-09-19T07:21:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-19T07:32:44.898-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Gambling and Lotteries - Is it sin or not?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot;

The church believes gambling is an artificial and contrived risk taken for selfish gain at another’s expense. It is done without a fair return for &quot;creative effort, useful skills, or responsible investment.&quot; A careful study of the Scriptures indicates that gambling is a form of evil that the Christian seeking to live by scriptural principles should avoid.&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;     &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;     &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Scripture (Isaiah 65:11) recounts that during the Babylonian captivity of Israel some Israelites succumbed to the influence of their captors and worshiped heathen gods of &quot;chance&quot; or &quot;luck.&quot; In their idolatry they denied the providence of God, trusting in luck rather than the living, sovereign Lord of the universe. Verses 12-16 shows God does not accept such activity.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;     &lt;/div&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;Scripture further condemns the practice of gambling by showing it to be inconsistent with its teaching on work, stewardship, and love of one’s neighbor. Gambling avoids honest labor in an effort to &quot;get something for nothing&quot; or to &quot;get rich quick.&quot; Thus, it violates the scriptural principle that teaches man must work for his sustenance. (See Proverbs 12:11; 28:19,20; 2 Thessalonians 3:10.) The Christian should recognize all that one possesses belongs to God (Psalms 24:1). In the Parable of Talents (Matthew 25:14-30) Jesus teaches that a person’s resources are given as a trust to be used wisely. No candid appraisal of gambling can endorse it as such. Finally, Jesus taught that love is what earmarks the Christian as His disciple (John 13:35). No Christian who seeks to love his neighbor as himself (Matthew 22:39) can justify profiting from greed and addiction that motivates so much of gambling.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://ag.org/top/index.cfm&quot;&gt;Learn more on biblical topics!&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://biblical-insight.blogspot.com/feeds/4622275254405188191/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://biblical-insight.blogspot.com/2009/09/gambling-and-lotteries-is-it-sin-or-not.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8250166453779712293/posts/default/4622275254405188191'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8250166453779712293/posts/default/4622275254405188191'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://biblical-insight.blogspot.com/2009/09/gambling-and-lotteries-is-it-sin-or-not.html' title='Gambling and Lotteries - Is it sin or not?'/><author><name>jmd ventures international</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04951056026207317313</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj62bsjTtAKeABq-gd1WpOSLZZlUHub18zqTYc99e9s3richwX_MmQuLtJoKwS4GSY6DhXvCaoi1iHxOAoqydSDdBHPclyJYnIzs2H-OYNraERUpNl5xkjgHbKcV99kTUcYZoeviOuE2vk/s72-c/gambling.jpeg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250166453779712293.post-8679926412212724114</id><published>2009-09-17T22:29:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-19T07:13:17.782-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Hell-the place of punishment?Do you believe it?</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim_3cYCGK1MQ1rhr2xdOymogOXq0Dpl3pJoOtJ6gvncFaHQQS_nZDIwJz3gkizt5VU6vPn5jG_HffI4BhXiJe1S8fRQOaQ92NEXPAs3ZdAy1dYR9LcJdl-8N3qBgmqvkPBw7s_8EZhimc/s1600-h/hell-11g.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer; width: 269px; height: 320px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEim_3cYCGK1MQ1rhr2xdOymogOXq0Dpl3pJoOtJ6gvncFaHQQS_nZDIwJz3gkizt5VU6vPn5jG_HffI4BhXiJe1S8fRQOaQ92NEXPAs3ZdAy1dYR9LcJdl-8N3qBgmqvkPBw7s_8EZhimc/s320/hell-11g.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383181381163862690&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVNwlsFl17KyH3A78HfliQN245DKBTbT3lDmpcEaTquTJsXjemAd8FOY4cYj9k9ELNR_z7lRL44VdKzUQisfRTvU0Y_zu6IPBJmMsjJBnQBugfmHHN-Dakqy55qBsEK-DmsUQ93_1lSJ0/s1600-h/hell2.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVNwlsFl17KyH3A78HfliQN245DKBTbT3lDmpcEaTquTJsXjemAd8FOY4cYj9k9ELNR_z7lRL44VdKzUQisfRTvU0Y_zu6IPBJmMsjJBnQBugfmHHN-Dakqy55qBsEK-DmsUQ93_1lSJ0/s320/hell2.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5383180532089568466&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:arial,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Hell&lt;/span&gt;         &lt;/b&gt; - The abode of condemned souls and devils in some religions; the place of eternal punishment for the wicked after death, presided over by Satan.&lt;br /&gt;A state of separation from God; exclusion from God&#39;s presence.&lt;br /&gt;The abode of the dead, identified with the Hebrew Sheol and the Greek Hades; the underworld.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Matthew 10:28 Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.

What is the meaning of the promise in Malachi 3:10? And is the “storehouse” to which we bring the tithe solely the local church?&lt;br /&gt;God had no other recourse than to show the people one example of their failure of turning back to him: their failure to tithe and make offerings to him. This is not to imply that this was the only area where the nation had failed, but it would serve well enough for those who were unconvinced that they had turned their backs on God. They were robbing God of the tenth that belonged to him.&lt;br /&gt;The tithe was generally considered to be a tenth of what a person earned, for that is what the priest of Salem (Jerusalem), Melchizedek (Gen 14:20), received from Abraham even before the law of Moses gave similar instructions (Lev 27:30). From this tithe, a tenth of it went to the priests, while others who benefited were widows, orphans and resident aliens (Deut 14:28–29).&lt;br /&gt;The offerings, however, were those portions of the animal sacrifices designated for the priests (Ex 29:27–28; Lev 9:22; Num 5:9) or those gifts that were voluntarily given for a special purpose (Ex 25:2–7).&lt;br /&gt;Kaiser, Walter C., et. al., Hard Sayings of the Bible, (Downer’s Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press) 1997.&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://biblical-insight.blogspot.com/feeds/6743235453326329495/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://biblical-insight.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-was-woman-punished.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8250166453779712293/posts/default/6743235453326329495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8250166453779712293/posts/default/6743235453326329495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://biblical-insight.blogspot.com/2009/09/how-was-woman-punished.html' title='Does Tithing Always Pay Off?'/><author><name>jmd ventures international</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04951056026207317313</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250166453779712293.post-8692634433551380662</id><published>2009-09-13T04:03:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-13T04:17:55.910-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Is Childbearing a Curse or a Blessing?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;If bearing children was declared a blessing from God in Genesis 1:28, why did God totally reverse this blessing as a result of the Fall? Indeed, the “pains,” a word which reappears in verse 17 in the curse on man as well, are said to have increased. But no pain had been mentioned previously; only a blessing.&lt;br /&gt;There is no doubt that this term refers to physical pain. Its root lies in a verb that means “to injure, cause pain or grief.” Whether the pain would lie in the agony of childbirth or in the related grief that accompanies raising that child cannot be finally determined; the text would seem to allow for both ideas.&lt;br /&gt;Katherine C. Bushnell, in God’s Word to Woman, suggests that verse 16 be translated differently since the Hebrew text could support such a reading. She noted that some ancient versions attached the meaning of “lying in wait,” “an ambush” or “a snare” to the word generally read as “multiply.” This idea of a snare or a lying in wait, however, may have been moved back to Genesis 3:15 from its more normal position in Genesis 3:16. Bushnell would render the opening words of verse 16 this way: “Unto the woman he said, ‘A snare has increased your sorrow and sighing.’”&lt;br /&gt;  This translation is not all that different in meaning from the more traditional “I will greatly multiply … ” The difference between the two readings is found wholly in the interlinear Hebrew vowel signs which came as late as the eighth century of the Christian era. The difference is this (using capital letters to show the original Hebrew consonantal text and lowercase to show the late addition of the vowel letters): HaRBah AaRBeh, “I will greatly multiply,” and HiRBah AoReB, “has caused to multiply (or made great) a lying-in-wait.” The participial form ARB appears some fourteen times in Joshua and is translated as “ambush” or “a lying in wait.”&lt;br /&gt;If this reading is correct (and some ancient versions read such a word just a few words back in verse 15, probably by misplacement), then that “lier-in-wait” would undoubtedly be that subtle serpent, the devil. He it was who would increase the sorrow of raising children. This is the only way we can explain why the idea of “a snare” or “lying-in-wait” still clings to this context.&lt;br /&gt;But another matter demands our attention in verse 16, the word for conception. This translation is difficult because the Hebrew word HRN is not the correct way to spell conception. It is spelled correctly as HRJWN in Ruth 4:13 and Hosea 9:11. But this spelling in Genesis 3:16 is two letters short, and its vowels are also unusual. The form is regarded by lexical authorities such as Brown, Driver and Briggs as a contraction or even an error. The early Greek translation (made in the third or second century before Christ) read instead HGN, meaning “sighing.” The resultant meaning for this clause would be “A snare has increased your sorrow and sighing.”&lt;br /&gt;What difference does such a rendering make? The point is simply that this curse cannot be read to mean that the right to determine when a woman will become a mother is placed totally outside her will or that this function has been placed entirely and necessarily in the hands and will of her husband.&lt;br /&gt;  Furthermore, it must be remembered that this statement, no matter how we shall finally interpret it, is from a curse passage. In no case should it be made normative. And if the Evil One and not God is the source of the sorrow and sighing, then it is all the more necessary for us to refuse to place any degree of normativity to such statements and describe either the ordeal of giving birth to a child, or the challenge of raising that child, as an evil originating in God. God is never the source of evil; he would rather bless women. Instead, it is Satan who has set this trap.&lt;br /&gt;The next clause strengthens the one we have been discussing by adding “in sorrow [or pain] you will bring forth children.” Once again note that bearing children in itself was a blessing described in the so-called orders of creation of Genesis 1:28. The grief lies not so much in the conception or in the act of childbirth itself, but in the whole process of bringing children into the world and raising them up to be whole persons before God.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;el unto=&quot;&quot; or=&quot;&quot; as=&quot;&quot; here=&quot;&quot; means=&quot;&quot; to=&quot;&quot; regard=&quot;&quot; with=&quot;&quot; ever=&quot;&quot; since=&quot;&quot; luther=&quot;&quot; commentators=&quot;&quot; have=&quot;&quot; noticed=&quot;&quot; s=&quot;&quot; favor=&quot;&quot; pointedly=&quot;&quot; directed=&quot;&quot; first=&quot;&quot; and=&quot;&quot; only=&quot;&quot; then=&quot;&quot; toward=&quot;&quot; offering=&quot;&quot; person=&quot;&quot; brought=&quot;&quot; accordingly=&quot;&quot; became=&quot;&quot; determinative=&quot;&quot; factor=&quot;&quot; in=&quot;&quot; all=&quot;&quot; worship=&quot;&quot; attitude=&quot;&quot; individual=&quot;&quot; if=&quot;&quot; heart=&quot;&quot; not=&quot;&quot; found=&quot;&quot; acceptable=&quot;&quot; the=&quot;&quot; gift=&quot;&quot; was=&quot;&quot; likewise=&quot;&quot; unacceptable=&quot;&quot; it=&quot;&quot; is=&quot;&quot; true=&quot;&quot; that=&quot;&quot; an=&quot;&quot; old=&quot;&quot; greek=&quot;&quot; translation=&quot;&quot; of=&quot;&quot; this=&quot;&quot; text=&quot;&quot; rendered=&quot;&quot; sha=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/el&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;el unto=&quot;&quot; or=&quot;&quot; as=&quot;&quot; here=&quot;&quot; means=&quot;&quot; to=&quot;&quot; regard=&quot;&quot; with=&quot;&quot; ever=&quot;&quot; since=&quot;&quot; luther=&quot;&quot; commentators=&quot;&quot; have=&quot;&quot; noticed=&quot;&quot; s=&quot;&quot; favor=&quot;&quot; pointedly=&quot;&quot; directed=&quot;&quot; first=&quot;&quot; and=&quot;&quot; only=&quot;&quot; then=&quot;&quot; toward=&quot;&quot; offering=&quot;&quot; person=&quot;&quot; brought=&quot;&quot; accordingly=&quot;&quot; became=&quot;&quot; determinative=&quot;&quot; factor=&quot;&quot; in=&quot;&quot; all=&quot;&quot; worship=&quot;&quot; attitude=&quot;&quot; individual=&quot;&quot; if=&quot;&quot; heart=&quot;&quot; not=&quot;&quot; found=&quot;&quot; acceptable=&quot;&quot; the=&quot;&quot; gift=&quot;&quot; was=&quot;&quot; likewise=&quot;&quot; unacceptable=&quot;&quot; it=&quot;&quot; is=&quot;&quot; true=&quot;&quot; that=&quot;&quot; an=&quot;&quot; old=&quot;&quot; greek=&quot;&quot; translation=&quot;&quot; of=&quot;&quot; this=&quot;&quot; text=&quot;&quot; rendered=&quot;&quot; sha=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;/el&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://biblical-insight.blogspot.com/feeds/8692634433551380662/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://biblical-insight.blogspot.com/2009/09/is-childbearing-curse-or-blessing.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8250166453779712293/posts/default/8692634433551380662'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8250166453779712293/posts/default/8692634433551380662'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://biblical-insight.blogspot.com/2009/09/is-childbearing-curse-or-blessing.html' title='Is Childbearing a Curse or a Blessing?'/><author><name>jmd ventures international</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04951056026207317313</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250166453779712293.post-8526431487005006741</id><published>2009-09-13T03:43:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-13T04:20:08.303-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Why Didn’t Adam and Eve Die at Once?</title><content type='html'>&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;    Why did not Adam and Eve drop dead the same day that they disobeyed God and ate of the forbidden fruit? Adam lived to be 930 years old according to Genesis 5:5. Was Satan’s word in Genesis 3:4—“You will not surely die”—a more accurate assessment of the real state of affairs than what God had said in Genesis 2:17—“When you eat of it you will surely die”? Is Satan more scrupulously honest than God himself?&lt;br /&gt;This hard saying calls for an examination of at least three different concepts embraced within the quotation from Genesis 2:17—(1) the tree of the knowledge of good and evil; (2) the meaning of the phrase “when [more literally, in the day] you eat of it”; and (3) the meaning of the phrase “you will surely die.”&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  First the tree. There are no grounds whatsoever for believing that the tree was a magical symbol or that it contained a secret enzyme which would automatically induce a wide body of knowledge that embraced the whole gamut of good and evil. Instead it is safer to assume that the tree functioned much as the New Testament ordinance or sacrament of the Lord’s Supper or Eucharist does. The tree was a symbol embodied in an actual tree, just as the bread and wine of the Eucharist are symbols embodied in real bread and wine. In a similar way the tree of life was also a real tree, yet it symbolized the fact that life was a special gift given to individuals from God. That is also why participants are warned not to partake of the elements of the Lord’s Supper in an unworthy manner, for when the elements are eaten and drunk in a flippant manner and when a person has not truly confessed Christ as Savior, the unworthy partaking of these rather ordinary elements (ordinary at least from all outward appearances) will cause illness and, in some cases, death (1 Cor 11:30).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  In the same way, the tree was a symbol to test the first human couple’s actions. Would they obey God or would they assert their own wills in opposition to God’s clear command? To argue that the tree had magical power to confer knowledge of good and evil would be to miss the divine point: the tree was a test of the couple’s intention to obey God. That men and women can attain the knowledge of good and evil is not in itself either undesirable or blameworthy; knowledge per se was not what was being forbidden here. The tree only represents the possibility that creatures made in God’s image could refuse to obey him. The tree served as the concrete expression of that rebellion.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  It is just as naive to insist that the phrase “in the day” means that on that very day death would occur. A little knowledge of the Hebrew idiom will relieve the tension here as well. For example, in 1 Kings 2:37 King Solomon warned a seditious Shimei, “The day you leave [Jerusalem] and cross the Kidron Valley [which is immediately outside the city walls on the east side of the city], you can be sure you will die.” Neither the 1 Kings nor the Genesis text implies immediacy of action on that very same day; instead they point to the certainty of the predicted consequence that would be set in motion by the act initiated on that day. Alternate wordings include at the time when, at that time, now when and the day [when] (see Gen 5:1; Ex 6:28; 10:28; 32:34).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  The final concern is over the definition of death. Scripture refers to three different types of death. Often only the context helps distinguish which is intended. There are physical death, spiritual death (the kind that forces guilty persons to hide from the presence of God, as this couple did when it was time for fellowship in the Garden, Gen 3:8) and the “second death” (to which Rev 20:14 refers, when a person is finally, totally and eternally separated from God without hope of reversal, after a lifetime of rejecting God).&lt;br /&gt;In this case, spiritual death was the immediate outcome of disobedience demonstrated by a deliberate snatching of real fruit from a real tree in a real garden. Death ensued immediately: They became “dead in … transgressions and sins” (Eph 2:1). But such separation and isolation from God eventually resulted in physical death as well. This, however, was more a byproduct than a direct result of their sin. Spiritual death was the real killer!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Kaiser, Walter C., et. al., Hard Sayings of the Bible, (Downer’s Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press) 1997.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://biblical-insight.blogspot.com/feeds/8526431487005006741/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://biblical-insight.blogspot.com/2009/09/why-didnt-adam-and-eve-die-at-once.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8250166453779712293/posts/default/8526431487005006741'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8250166453779712293/posts/default/8526431487005006741'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://biblical-insight.blogspot.com/2009/09/why-didnt-adam-and-eve-die-at-once.html' title='Why Didn’t Adam and Eve Die at Once?'/><author><name>jmd ventures international</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04951056026207317313</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8250166453779712293.post-8706567167083361246</id><published>2009-09-09T23:30:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2009-09-09T23:51:58.630-07:00</updated><title type='text'>The Rapture of The Church</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsigz81urj77sTFZZpBQyKqe440nWMLFnhaFYAPK-EH-Q1cBsF6A_E349zTnwrBn4S09qTFBEOii8WxtxJj83xWK8PR2OWdSJQWRDbCDRvonn6G4EWV8ehbkW6NHId51H5eKH_tp_mJ-M/s1600-h/Second_Coming_700.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer; width: 211px; height: 118px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgsigz81urj77sTFZZpBQyKqe440nWMLFnhaFYAPK-EH-Q1cBsF6A_E349zTnwrBn4S09qTFBEOii8WxtxJj83xWK8PR2OWdSJQWRDbCDRvonn6G4EWV8ehbkW6NHId51H5eKH_tp_mJ-M/s200/Second_Coming_700.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379727330212851122&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMQMZt2AsVlyd0fVPcrSMTcw_qEDZwFzMTD6BmqUrMxnaJBTrC2q6cnp-rHlzacuuqellbzfXYexBNlAPEFbMc6SJBJhpKe7X6lGgDUo1eK5QqVT6FStXG99N7M1fnIHSOzLOlLCP6nLc/s1600-h/rapture.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 137px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgMQMZt2AsVlyd0fVPcrSMTcw_qEDZwFzMTD6BmqUrMxnaJBTrC2q6cnp-rHlzacuuqellbzfXYexBNlAPEFbMc6SJBJhpKe7X6lGgDUo1eK5QqVT6FStXG99N7M1fnIHSOzLOlLCP6nLc/s200/rapture.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379726331031314930&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhNjbEQ6VRTLUSauhgT_LB67law6aZbOvNxQMM7J15ChpMZCP-jn0ms9CmhfoZ0S-PD15DqCUPSxSQot0wMUF9_Iuce69xBZyxEC6CmwtDtJUNiOfWrpSUazoPhVsJDQrDj6xvsoAoFU8/s1600-h/rapture+of+the+church.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 158px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhNjbEQ6VRTLUSauhgT_LB67law6aZbOvNxQMM7J15ChpMZCP-jn0ms9CmhfoZ0S-PD15DqCUPSxSQot0wMUF9_Iuce69xBZyxEC6CmwtDtJUNiOfWrpSUazoPhVsJDQrDj6xvsoAoFU8/s200/rapture+of+the+church.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379726842376886082&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLC2z_vIyHIVf2NZI61ZfH7wMtx0tSVfWsvMZUPXoE7kbtv7y0U4DqGhe8L0A73JghfuIFT2MduMNN_LTTPnse5UI33s9uVGOW5jpSPVPTTGX7M4VtjjSg464M47zzKyiE_-t7I53yHyg/s1600-h/jesus_rapture.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer; width: 206px; height: 155px;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgLC2z_vIyHIVf2NZI61ZfH7wMtx0tSVfWsvMZUPXoE7kbtv7y0U4DqGhe8L0A73JghfuIFT2MduMNN_LTTPnse5UI33s9uVGOW5jpSPVPTTGX7M4VtjjSg464M47zzKyiE_-t7I53yHyg/s200/jesus_rapture.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5379726340564008770&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;The &lt;b&gt;Rapture&lt;/b&gt; is a concept in &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity&quot; title=&quot;Christianity&quot;&gt;Christianity&lt;/a&gt; relating to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Coming&quot; title=&quot;Second Coming&quot;&gt;return of Jesus&lt;/a&gt;. The primary passage describing the rapture is &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1_Thessalonians&quot; title=&quot;1 Thessalonians&quot; class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot;&gt;1 Thessalonians&lt;/a&gt; 4:15-17, in which &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saint_Paul&quot; title=&quot;Saint Paul&quot;&gt;Paul&lt;/a&gt; cites &quot;the word of the Lord&quot; about the return of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus&quot; title=&quot;Jesus&quot;&gt;Jesus&lt;/a&gt; to gather his saints. Although all &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_denominations&quot; title=&quot;Christian denominations&quot; class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot;&gt;Christian denominations&lt;/a&gt; believe in Christ&#39;s return, there are two primary views regarding its nature:&lt;/p&gt; &lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispensationalism&quot; title=&quot;Dispensationalism&quot;&gt;Dispensationalist&lt;/a&gt; Premillennialists (such as many &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evangelicalism&quot; title=&quot;Evangelicalism&quot;&gt;Evangelicals&lt;/a&gt;, especially in the United States) hold the return of Christ to be in two stages. 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 is seen to be a preliminary event to the return described in Matthew 24:29-31. Although both describe a return of Jesus in the clouds with angelic activity, trumpets, heavenly signs, and a gathering of the saints, these are seen to be two separate events, the first unseen, and the second public. The majority of dispensationalists hold that the first event immediately precedes the period of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tribulation&quot; title=&quot;Tribulation&quot;&gt;Tribulation&lt;/a&gt;. (See chart for additional Dispensationalist timing views)&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amillennialism&quot; title=&quot;Amillennialism&quot;&gt;Amillennialists&lt;/a&gt; (such as Roman Catholics, and others), &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postmillenialism&quot; title=&quot;Postmillenialism&quot; class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot;&gt;Postmillennialists&lt;/a&gt; (such as some Presbyterians, and others), and &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Historic_premillennialism&quot; title=&quot;Historic premillennialism&quot;&gt;Historic Premillennialists&lt;/a&gt; (such as Calvinistic Baptists, and others) hold that the return of Christ will be a single, public event. All passages regarding the return of Christ, such as Matthew 24:29-31, 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3, Revelation 1:7, etc, describe the return of Jesus in the clouds amidst trumpets, angelic activity, heavenly signs, a resurrection, and a gathering of saints. Although some (such as some Amillennialists) take this event to be figurative, rather than literal, these three groups maintain that passages regarding the return of Christ describe a single event, and that the &quot;word of the Lord&quot; cited by Paul in 1 Thessalonians 4:15-17 is the &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olivet_Discourse&quot; title=&quot;Olivet Discourse&quot; class=&quot;mw-redirect&quot;&gt;Olivet Discourse&lt;/a&gt; which Matthew separately describes in Matthew 24:29-31. Although the doctrinal relationship of the rapture and the Second Coming are the same in these three groups, Historic Premillennialists are more likely to use the term &quot;rapture&quot; to clarify their position in distinction from Dispensationalists.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ag.org/top/beliefs/Position_Papers/pp_downloads/pp_4182_rapture.pdf&quot;&gt;The Rapture of the church is what the believers are waiting today.

The Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ is reaching to all nations. Many people are getting saved everyday; and many are coming to the church. All of this are made possible because of the obedience of the believers who obeyed the commands of Jesus Christ in Mat 28:18-20 that says &quot;All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;The people of God plays a very important role in fulfillment of the &quot;Great commission.&quot; In order to be effective in participating God&#39;s work, each one need to achieve a spiritual revival. God set a condition to achieve a real revival.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;What are God’s conditions?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;1. Acknowledge who we are before God-Humility&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Humility -In theology, humility consists in lowliness of mind; a deep sense of one&#39;s own unworthiness in the sight of God&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;a.We need to be dependent on God&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Psalm62:7 My salvation and my honor depend on God ; he is my mighty rock, my refuge. Being dependent we are admitting our weakness and reaching out for His power. We are saying I can’t, but you can. In our weakness God will be made strong.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;b. We need to take away the pride of life&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Pro.8:13;16:5&lt;br /&gt;Pride is the opposite of humility. God is calling his people to “humble themselves”.  The word “humble” means “to bend the knee; to bring down; to place self under another.”  Pride will not allow the prideful person to bow their knee to the Lord!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;How can you tell if you have a pride problem? Here are the evidences of pride in a life:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.   Pride refuses to listen, it always interrupts others.&lt;br /&gt;2.   Pride likes to talk about itself all the time.&lt;br /&gt;3.   Pride has an intense desire to be noticed.&lt;br /&gt;4.   Pride believes that it deserves everything it gets.&lt;br /&gt;5.   Pride is not thankful.&lt;br /&gt;6.   Pride does not accept correction.&lt;br /&gt;7.   Pride does not like to follow instructions.&lt;br /&gt;8.   Pride exalts itself in the presence of others; it brags.&lt;br /&gt;9.   Pride criticizes and tries to makes itself look better by putting others down.&lt;br /&gt;10. Pride thinks of its own needs first.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2. &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Acknowledging our role as prayer warriors - Called to be at/on &quot;MUST&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; a. We must fast and pray&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why do we need to fast? Many denominations today are operating without the power of the Holy Spirit. There is little physical healing, few deliverances from demons, and almost no signs and wonders following. In addition, most importantly there is no conviction of sin.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Our greatest spiritual weapon – I would say that combining prayer and fasting  constitutes the strongest single weapon that has been committed to God’s believing people. In fact, the great revivals spoken in the scripture were preceded by fasting. Jonah 3:5. ”The Ninevites believed God. They declared fasting, and all of them from least to the greatest, put on sackcloth. Luke 5:35 says, &quot;But the time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; in those days they will fast.&quot; Joel 2:12 &quot;Even now,  declares the LORD,  return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The time has come for God’s people to wake up and for church leaders to call for repentance with fasting and prayer.&lt;br /&gt;This is the shortlist of our nations where  sins scream for a response.&lt;br /&gt;• abortion&lt;br /&gt;• Lowering of moral standards&lt;br /&gt;• Failure of parents and children to live amicably&lt;br /&gt;• Destruction of family –due to adultery, easy separation, misunderstanding,&lt;br /&gt;• Gambling&lt;br /&gt;• Free flow of pornographic materials, as seen in television, heard on radio&lt;br /&gt;• Our lack of love for one another, especially in those of different faiths.&lt;br /&gt;• Our failure to study the word of God and abide by its principles&lt;br /&gt;• Our lukewarmness toward God in every aspect of  life.&lt;br /&gt;• Immorality increase&lt;br /&gt;• Corruption&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Illustration: The first time I encountered the Lord Jesus Christ I saw signs and wonders and miracles. It&#39;s just happen after we know the truth of the gospel. We saw the spinal bones of the person who had a scoliosis were moving it last almost 30min in healing. Others leg was straightened up and grew to normal size.many who are barren bore a child. After knowing what they did before they minister to a seminar, they prayed and fast. By the time they pray the hair of our colleague, one of the facilitator straightened up because of the presence of God and the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. When they gather together to have fellowship all they have to do is pray and listen to the Lord. By this signs and wonders and healing follows when they minister to the people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fast and pray so that you will not fall into temptation&lt;br /&gt;What are willing to give? Can we sacrifice ourselves for the food of our stomach for the benefit of others?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;   b. We need to intercede for others&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Do I invest time to pray for other or just my own petition?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;My own experience: I always eat the right time with food. I observed that my flesh controlling me. Less regard on the work of the Spirit because my flesh is strong. I can’t hear more on God. So I decide to fast. Romans 14:17 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of eating and drinking, but of righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit,&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;3.

We need to seek him first –making Him our first priority&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;The word “&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;seek&lt;/span&gt;” means :to search out by any method; especially by worship and prayer. The word “face” refers to countenance; to turn toward his direction. God wanted us to make him as our primary focus and our first priority. The very first thing that we seek after we wake up everyday. Every first day of the week which is Sunday.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;I ask our people whom we conduct our Bible study. Who are you here attend to church late? No one answered because they didn’t even go to church. Oh my goodness. The first test if we make God as our first priority if we go to church on time. But many are coming late. We have an appointment with God during this time and yet we will make him wait for us? Be prepared to meet thy God…&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;Illustration:  Appointment with the president - make her wait for 15min…But friends we will meet God during our worship service. Let us not make him wait for us.When I decided to pray and seek God I found out that he is waiting for us to come to Him in humility and show himself to us.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Prayer: Lord forgive us and help us to be on time. When we come 2 min before it start we are late or on time. We need to come before it starts. So don’t be late when we go to church. We expect God to bless us yet we are late? We expect God to bless us yet we do not bless Him first. Bless the Lord oh my soul and all that is with in bless the Lord!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lord look at the people who wanted to have a real revival are coming to church late. We are meeting here the king of kings and the Lord of Lords&lt;br /&gt;The picture of Jesus in the revelation:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;If you really want to know what your priorities are today then ask yourself three questions:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. On what activity do you spend most of your time?&lt;br /&gt;2. on what do you spend the bulk of your money?&lt;br /&gt;3. On what do you focus your thoughts?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;     b. we need to align our life to his will and purpose.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Proverbs 19:21 Many are the plans in a man&#39;s heart, but it is the LORD&#39;s purpose that prevails.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;4.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10If we claim we have not sinned, we make him out to be a liar and his word has no place in our lives.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;a. We need to forsake sin – turn from our wicked ways&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Acts 3:19 Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, Acts 17:30 In the past God overlooked such ignorance, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;we say,” I am saved and some of the things I do don’t matter”. Sin keeps us out of the presence of the Lord.&lt;br /&gt;Isa.59:2.But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.&lt;br /&gt;Sin closes the Lord’s ear to our prayers.&lt;br /&gt;Psa.66:18 If I had cherished sin in my heart, the Lord would not have listened;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;    b. We need to live a holy life &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;When we seek God and repent from our wicked ways we can develop an intimacy with God. The more we know His character the more we revere on Him. Fear of God will develop. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom. It makes us afraid to keep on sinning. Lev.11:45  I am the LORD who brought you up out of Egypt to be your God; therefore be holy, because I am holy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;2 Cor.7:1Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.&lt;br /&gt;2Cor7:1  Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.&lt;br /&gt;1Peter1:15-16 But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do; 16for it is written: &quot;Be holy, because I am holy.&quot;A&lt;br /&gt;Heb.12:14 Make every effort to live in peace with all men and to be holy; without holiness no one will see the Lord.&lt;br /&gt;Holiness-The state of being holy; purity or integrity of moral character; freedom from sin&lt;br /&gt;Applied to human beings, holiness is purity of heart or dispositions&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;God’s promise if we will do his conditions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1.
