I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

There were many ways in which Jesus already revealed who He was. His miraculous works certainly revealed who He was. Jesus had also clearly revealed that He was the Christ, both in the synagogue at His hometown of Nazareth, and when speaking to the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well.
Jesus, in His pre-existent state, was in the form of God. "In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God" (Jn. 1:1).
Jesus was God, manifest in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16). However, Jesus did not demand or cling to His rights as God, but laid aside His Divine rights and privileges in order to take the form of a servant and be made in the likeness of men. He further humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the Father, even to...
HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED THE POWER THAT WE HAVE? IF WE ALL COULD JUST REALIZE THIS AND REALLY GET IT INTO OUR WHOLE BEING, THERE IS NOTHING WE COULD NOT DO. I WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT JUST A FEW THINGS THAT JESUS DID AND HE SAID IN JOHN 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. DID YOU SEE THAT....."GREATER WORKS SHALL WE DO".
This sickness was the work of Satan - not the work of God. Jesus said it had bound her - not blessed her - for eighteen years. The teaching that says that sickness is actually a blessing in disguise, because the Lord is working His plan in one's life, is not found in scripture. As Acts 10:38 says, Jesus "went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil," not "oppressed of God."
There are 17 times in the Gospels when Jesus healed all of the sick that were present. There are 47 other times when He healed one or two people at a time.
Nowhere do we find Jesus refusing to heal anyone. Jesus said that He could do nothing of Himself, but only what He saw the Father do. His actions...
Jesus had just spoken about relationships before He gave this parable of delivering ourselves from the judge. The warning is clear that we should do everything within our power to avoid strife (Rom. 12:18). However, the consequences of failing to settle the differences are more than just physical prison or punishment.
Strife can produce spiritual and emotional prisons. James 3:16 says, "where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work." Depressions, fears, loneliness, bitterness, sicknesses, financial problems, and many other things can become prisons from which we will not be delivered...
This verse is one of the clearest references in scripture about varying degrees of God's judgment according to the knowledge of the person who committed the sin. The whole chapter of Leviticus 4 is written to deal with sins committed in ignorance. Jesus said in John 9:41, "If ye were blind, ye should have no sin: but now ye say, We see; therefore your sin remaineth."
Also, Romans 5:13 says, "sin is not imputed when there is no law."
Paul said, in 1 Timothy 1:13, that he obtained mercy because he had sinned "ignorantly in unbelief." The sin he was speaking of was blasphemy, which Jesus taught was unforgivable if done...
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD THE PHRASE "STICKS AND STONES CAN BREAK MY BONES BUT WORDS CAN NEVER HURT ME"? THAT IS SUCH AN INCORRECT STATEMENT. HAS YOUR CHILD, OR EVEN A "SO CALLED" FRIEND, EVER TOLD YOU THAT THEY HATED YOU? DIDN'T THAT HURT? I KNOW I HAVE SAID THINGS TO PEOPLE THAT I WISHED, RIGHT THEN, THAT I COULD TAKE BACK BECAUSE I KNEW IT HURT THEM. FOR THIS REASON I HAVE STARTED CAREFULLY WATCHING WHAT I SAY.
