Jesus when He was with us; tribulations and faith.

Jesus when He was with us;  tribulations and faith.

This pretty much should clear up the confusion.
Its about the miracles while God was here with us!! The afflictions and the faith
in his promises when he left us and ascended to Heaven.
Its not the first time we were asked to have faith, Moses also asked.
Its not the first time people doubted either.
I would choose to believe in a love this great over much of the love offered in this
temporal world by mere men who have doubt or persecute others.
There is a greater love!


Luke 24.

He is not here, but is risen! Remember how He spoke to you when He was still in Galilee, 7 saying, ‘The Son of Man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again.’”

44 Then He said to them, “These are the words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things must be fulfilled which were written in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms concerning Me.” 45 And He opened their understanding, that they might comprehend the Scriptures.

Then He said to them, “Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise[h] from the dead the third day, 47 and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. 48 And you are witnesses of these things. 49 Behold, I send the Promise of My Father upon you; but tarry in the city of Jerusalem[i] until you are endued with power from on high.”

The Ascension

50 And He led them out as far as Bethany, and He lifted up His hands and blessed them. 51 Now it came to pass, while He blessed them, that He was parted from them and carried up into heaven. 52 And they worshiped Him, and returned to Jerusalem with great joy, 53 and were continually in the temple praising and[j]blessing God. Amen.[k]


1 Tim 3:3

That no man should be moved by these afflictions: for yourselves know that we are appointed thereunto.

Never forget that suffering
was appointed to us.
patience, endurance and faith was asked of us.
To love when you were asked by a God you have not seen, to trust which you have not seen and to believe in the promises; Faith.
To glorify Him and thank Him for the mercy and graces, to thank him for his open arms when we leave this temporal world and return to eternal life with Him and all the angels.
Faith the size  of a mustard seed is all he asked to get through these afflictions. To believe.

And Jesus said unto them, "Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."

You need to know God didn't make earthly promises, they were all meant for eternal life.
He showed the earth as a human what he endured
He was unloved by man
but highly loved by God

Prophesy... End of Days

http://motivationdose.com/is-america-babylon/

Is America Babylon the Great? America has a place in the bible prophesy, even if it is each individual ever created...

its the only country not mentioned in the bible!

in bible- end of days

2017

? interesting video

ok so I was studying an interesting bible topic:

America was not mentioned in the bible... we know that. But like Russia God knew about America!

and She was once a great, the greatest princess... an evangelizing people of faith and belief.

Research:

Nevertheless, taken in its proper context, Revelation 17 describes Mystery Babylon which is a biblical symbol for false religion, not the United States.

(Me: I say it has become evident in the US

of many false religions and falsified once true religions.)

Babylon was the birthplace of false religion, and “the people who belong to this world have been made drunk by the wine of her immorality” by embracing false religion.

(Me: resolved answer Babylon is US)

We are Babylon The Great!

research:

Nevertheless, taken in its proper context, Revelation 17 describes Mystery Babylon which is a biblical symbol for false religion, not the United States.

Babylon was the birthplace of false religion, and “the people who belong to this world have been made drunk by the wine of her immorality” by embracing false religion.

In Revelation 18, we encounter additional parallels:

“After all this I saw another angel come down from heaven with great authority, and the earth grew bright with his splendor.  He gave a mighty shout:  ‘Babylon is fallen – that great city is fallen! She has become a home for demons. She is a hideout for every foul spirit, a hideout for every foul vulture and every foul and dreadful animal.  For all the nations have fallen because of the wine of her passionate immorality. The kings of the world have committed adultery with her. Because of her desires for extravagant luxury, the merchants of the world have grown rich.’”  Revelation 18:1-3 (NLT)

Is America

Babylon The Great?

"After all this I saw another angel come down from heaven with great authority, and the earth grew bright with his splendor.  He gave a mighty shout:  ‘Babylon is fallen – that great city is fallen! She has become a home for demons. She is a hideout for every foul spirit, a hideout for every foul vulture and every foul and dreadful animal.  For all the nations have fallen because of the wine of her passionate immorality. (...)"

She sure is sounding like her!

Who would think God would leave America

out of the beginning -but most especially leave it out of the END?

If prophesy didnt include America, well we will still be here after the rapture!

Research indicates a people like Americans.

“Go, swift messengers! Take a message to a tall, smooth-skinned people, who are feared far and wide for their conquests and destruction, and whose land is divided by rivers.” Isaiah 18:2(NLT)

and 

 “At that time the Lord of Heaven’s Armies will receive gifts from this land divided by rivers, from this tall, smooth-skinned people, who are feared far and wide for their conquests and destruction.”  Isaiah 18:7 (NLT)

Research also indicates:

The Rapture

While only God can know a person’s heart, there’s a good probability that the United States will lose more citizens as a result of the rapture than any other nation in the world.

With more self-proclaimed born again Christians than everywhere else on earth, the rapture has the potential to destroy the United States in a moment’s notice.

https://www.raptureready.com/featured/gillette/bg53.html

This I have to see since

If they are not mentioned with clarity in the bible...

They may not be taken at all.

But somewhere we are in the bible I am sure...

So what say ye?

Research goes onto say

a profound theory:

(Perhaps the absence of America in bible prophecy is due to the Antichrist conquering or annexing the United States into his revived Roman Empire.)

The Book of Revelation reveals that the Antichrist and his kingdom will become so powerful that no one will be able to resist militarily:

"They worshiped the dragon for giving the beast such power, and they worshiped the beast. 'Is there anyone as great as the beast?' they exclaimed. 'Who is able to fight against him?'" Revelation 13:4 (NLT)

Perhaps the absence of America in bible prophecy is due to the Antichrist conquering or annexing the United States into his revived Roman Empire.

Me ... I would like to believe

that overall Americans are good, and in comparison may be the only ones not taken in the rapture!

But God knows thats not true!

Still I agree America is not the biggest player in the end of times!

*Never forget:

The word “Rapture” is not found in the Bible, but the phrase “CAUGHT UP” certainly is in the Scripture we just read. “Caught up” means the same thing as “raptured.” Likewise the word “Trinity” is not found in the Bible, but the word “Godhead” is if you have a faithful and inspired King James Bible (Acts 17:29; Romans 1:20; Colossians 2:9). Modern Bible are corrupted by Satan and the word “Godhead” is completely gone.

(Me: I agree Godhead was in the bible!

and it has been corrupted by revisions!

I also agree caught up is rapture!)

"For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord" -1st Thessalonians 4:16,17

Our God Is An Awesome God

God heals

 every day,

He carries us all the time.

even in the times of darkness.

"A faithful man will abound with blessings."

Heres a prayer to offer:

Hold the bible up and Say:

"You are My God, You have promised these words to me and They are truth. You are my healer and redeemer. 

Thank You God for healing me. Thank You Almighty God in Heaven, all glory and honour is yours forever and ever, Amen."

read Chapter 

Luke 9

Our God is Awesome God He Reigns On Heaven and Earth.

Some more of God's Truth:

12When the righteous triumph, there is great elation;

but when the wicked rise to power, people go into hiding.

13Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper,

but the one who confesses and renounces them finds mercy.

14Blessed is the one who always trembles before God,

but whoever hardens their heart falls into trouble.

15Like a roaring lion or a charging bear

is a wicked ruler over a helpless people.

Why is there so much Evil and suffering?

Why is there so much Evil and suffering?

I dont know how to put it into words that dont sound horrible :(

but so very unintentionally.

So wait for it:

is my best answer. some things need more depthful answers than the first thing that pops out of your mouth.

so here goes an attempt:

Me: 

short summary version:

If we were all HAPPY and fulfilled-

why would we need God?

Spirituality

or to be in Gods graces or even Heaven for that matter. 

(Some people subscribe to this is life:

 live it up, enjoy, live as you will but be kind,

It begins and ends here!)

 BUT for those who dont subscribe to that theory...

Truth:

Because you learn nothing from

Happiness

(Its brings upon 

us the 7 deadly sins, It breaks all commandments,

It makes us Gods.)

if we have all we need, why seek God-?

why seek him if we are content acting like the people did when Moses went to get the commandments.

especially for the main learning of spirituality.

I have learned, my most significant and deepest learning - and my most intimate times with God came from the times of suffering I endured,

thats where I wanted to know the source of my pain and my creator and where my faith stood in its midst?

It always came back to God, 

I always acknowledged Him in My moments of doubt.

There are loved ones gone I can only reach through God

right now, They live on to me.

where do you really learn spirituality

from the trials and sadness of life.

God let His own son be crucified and die, Jesus still learned even 

in suffering, while He was human he asked one of our own questions:

Father, Why have you forsaken me?

But God

did not, He made Him our Savior.

It may be true that God knew Evil would co-exist with Good.

There is nobody greater than God,

yet one may hear themselves say:

"I would never see of that", "If it was up to me life wouldn't be this way.",

I wouldn't design a world with evil and starving people."

remember we do not live eternally here  on earth...

this is temporal,

Our spirits live for eternity to be in Heaven or Hell.

So to what gain is it from our creator to have created Heaven

here on Earth if our bodies will die...

where will our Souls go?

after we lived a life of joy and abundance with no purpose.

But God was referenced at the dawn of time,

Throughout all earthly years,

And He is Our Creator.

While in our earthly condition we dont seem to understand why

the grand design is what it is,

We believe.

Many cant justify

and find proof...

but the great mystery of God

is that we soul search because the answers are there even when we dont fully understand, even when we

find a reason to contradict, even when

we justify it makes no sense.

Much of it comes down to do we accept what we 

feel as truth and was revealed to us, 

even in most cases our darkest hour...

or do we challenge God for the answers.

Answers that cannot be revealed

to full for each ones comprehension

just yet, but theres enough to believe.

Some mysteries and revelations

will come in time.

The biggest most painful question

is why does God allow people to starve to death?

after months to years of horrible suffering...

Its a real biggy and hurts the MOST.

Is God a Source of Evil?

While most wonder why God does not stop suffering, there is another even greater question, asked by others: “Can evil come directly from God?” God answers: “I am the LORD, and there is none else…I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, AND CREATE EVIL: I the LORD do all these things” (Isa. 45:5, 7).

Obviously, Isaiah agreed with Job. Evil can come from God, and, though always within God’s overall control and purpose, Satan is often the vehicle that brings it. I cannot stress enough how all true servants of God must recognize the vital role of suffering within the learning and character-building process, central to the lives of all those God calls to His truth!

Paul lived what he taught! Take time to read what Paul’s ministry required him to endure by studying II Corinthians 11:24-30. This astonishing passage reveals that people can, with God’s help, handle far more discomfort, pain and suffering than they think they see its purpose.

Does this passage shock you? Does it make sense that “sorrow is better than laughter” or that “the house of mourning is better than the house of feasting”? Yet these statements are God’s PLAIN WORDS about how He views suffering—and that He actually designed this physical life to require it.

Verses 2 and 3 reveal more of God’s purpose in permitting suffering. Solomon also recorded this: “It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart. Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.”

Mankind’s suffering is not an accident. It is actually one of the most marvelous tools within God’s Plan of making sons who have developed HIS CHARACTER within them. The purpose for every human being’s life is to develop the perfect, holy, righteous character of Almighty God. Suffering is directly tied to building character. Since God is longsuffering, it is also obvious then, that no person is complete in the development of God’s nature and character until he has learned the value of human suffering!

Wise King Solomon was inspired by God to record one of the great principles in the Bible: “In the day of prosperity be joyful, but in the day of ADVERSITY consider: God also has set the one over against the other, to the end that man should find nothing after him” (Ecc. 7:14).

Did you understand this verse? God did this! God designed life so that we would face “adversity” and be forced to “consider” the circumstances we are experiencing. Certainly, adversity is no fun. It is sometimes very difficult, hard, painful, even traumatic, to endure. Yet, God said He engineered the human existence to include adversity! This seems strange to the human mind that wants a free pass to sail through life, experiencing only the good life—good times!

Notice God’s inspired answer to this question: “Though He [Christ] were a Son, yet LEARNED He obedience by the things which He suffered” (5:8).

Christ was sinless. If He was otherwise, we have no Savior. So, of course, He was without fault, blameless, sinless. Yet, this passage reveals that even Christ LEARNED from the suffering He endured. This is what God says.

Suffering completed Christ’s learning process. Yes, He (as God incarnate) was able to learn as a result of being in the flesh. Being made of flesh allowed Him to learn lessons that He would otherwise not have known. 

The REASON Christ learned from His suffering is that pain kicks the mental learning mechanism into gear! This is why Solomon said that men should “consider” when facing or suffering “adversity.”

This is why Solomon said that men should “consider” when facing or suffering “adversity.”

For instance, physical pain of sufficient intensity stops people in their tracks. They begin searching for the cause of the pain. Whether it is the discomfort of an on-coming heart attack, an acute headache or the inflammation of arthritis, people want to know why their body hurts.

The apostle Paul, also in Hebrews, begins to relate suffering directly to the process of God’s purpose in making sons who reflect His character. Notice: “For it became Him [Christ]…in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings” (2:10).

LINK 2. http://rcg.org/articles/wdgas.html

Yet, in the grand scheme of things, when compared to the reward God has in store for all His begotten sons and daughters, how difficult was the suffering? Paul answers, “For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waits for the manifestation of the sons of God” (Rom. 8:18-19).

Paul lived what he taught! Take time to read what Paul’s ministry required him to endure by studying II Corinthians 11:24-30. This astonishing passage reveals that people can, with God’s help, handle far more discomfort, pain and suffering than they think they see its purpose.

SET FORTH BY THE KING

THE EARTHLY PURPOSE SET FORTH BY THE KING LIFE IS ALL BASED ON A THEORY OF A NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE CHALLENGE AND REMAINS THE SOLE PURPOSE OF THIS EARTHLY LIFE.. THE CHALLENGE IS BEING EXPECTED TO DO GOOD WORKS, IN SOME CASES SHORT OF MIRACULOUS WORKS IN A WORLD WHERE EVERYONE YOU MEET IS THE PROPHET OF DOOM, AND YET ALL OTHERS A VICTIM OF ACTUAL DOOM. WHERE THE LIFE IS SUCKED OUT OF YOU MORE OFTEN BY BOTH KINDS, WHILE FORBEARING THE HEARTACHES OF THE EVENTUAL NEGATIVE OUTCOMES IN THE END OF EVEN THE BEST WELL SPENT ATTEMPTS. SO WHAT TO DO?… WHAT IS IT ALL FOR ANYWAY? REMEMBER THE "strait” gate ENTER YE IN AT THE STRAIGHT GATE… Matthew 7:13,14 ITS HARD, SO HARD… BUT ITS THE ONLY GATE TO HEAVEN. JUST AS WE DO NOT JUDGE OTHERS, DON’T JUDGE YOURSELF A FAILURE! GOD IS THE ONLY JUDGE. YOUR HOPE SHOULD’NT BE IN THIS WORLD, ITS DESIGNED TO DEFEAT. IF IT WASNT WE WOULD ALL BE LOOKING FOR TREASURES HERE AND WE WOULD PRESENT WITH THE 7 DEADLY SINS AND NOT CARE ABOUT THE COMMANDMENTS. PRAY FOR FORGIVENESS WHEN YOU FAIL TO DO GOOD INSTEAD. REMEMBER… THE WIDE GATE IS THE GATE TO HELL, BE IT TEMPTATION, BE IN EASY TO DO WITHOUT THE PAIN AND HARDSHIP OF OTHER CHOICES. IT IS THE GATE TO HELL. IF YOU HAVE BEEN CONFORMED TO THE EVIL WAYS OF THIS WORLD BECAUSE ALL YOUR GOOD WORKS FAILED IN YOUR EYES YOU HAVE LIMITED YOUR LIFE TO THE FAILURES OF THIS WORLD THAT HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO DEFEAT YOU. YOU HAVE TO CONQUER IT, THATS YOUR GOAL FOR THE SAKE OF THE GOOD WORKS. IF YOU CANNOT, YOU DONT JUST TAKE THE EASY WAY OUT AND GIVE UP. YOU MUST GO ON AND CONTINUE TO SPREAD YOUR GOOD WORKS. YOU CANNOT DO THAT IF YOU SUBMIT TO THE DEVIL WHO LIES AND TELLS YOU DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES. THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES AND ONE DAY YOU WILL FACE THEM BOTH HERE ON EARTH AND BEFORE GOD. DO NOT BELIEVE SATAN OR MAN (who tell you the way is easy) BELIEVE JESUS, HIS WORDS ARE WRITTEN IN MATTHEW. BELIEVE GOD AND DO HIS WILL ANYWAY. DON’T BE JUDGED BY MAN, DON’T JUDGE YOURSELF, LET GOD BE WHO HE IS IS, THE ONLY JUDGE. ~Angel Cher .

The Body, Soul And Spirit in Correlation To The Trinity

The spirit is always referred to as the immaterial part of man. Man is not a spirit, he has a spirit. I believe the soul (psyche) is just what the greek word implies... the makeup of man. You are different from every other person. The thing that makes Raymond Raymond is the soul. The soul is how you relate to others and how you understand yourself. The spirit is how you relate to God. When you are reborn, you are born of spirit (John 3:5-6). The spirit is part of the soul, much like the mind is part of the soul. It is the soul, though, that comprises who you are.

One entity made up of three parts. Just like us! We are made up of body, soul and spirit, yet we are one person.

The Mystery of The Trinity
here is only one God in three persons. Each person is God, whole and entire. They are distinct from one another in their relations of origin: as the Fourth Lateran Council declared, "it is the Father who generates, the Son who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds". While distinct in their relations with one another, they are one in all else. The whole work of creation and grace is a single operation common to all three divine persons, who at the same time operate according to their unique properties, so that all things are from the Father, through the Son and in the Holy Spirit.[6] The three persons are co-equal, co-eternal and consubstantial.

Does God Exist? By Angel Cher

Does God Exist
By Angel Cher

Look at your soul...

do you know it well?
Do you expect it to die when you leave this world?
How can it ever die(?) It knows boundless depths, it knows truths, love, intuition, fear, morality, righteousness- some souls here know and have felt Gods light and peace from near death. The soul  knows a universe man hasn't seen yet and knows it well. The soul knows before and after, it knows infinity. The soul has insight. If there's one proof to connect all to God, I believe it's your soul, if you try to reach it you will see it's so much bigger than you!

Where did the soul come from?
I believe the soul is a part of God and the part of us that connect us to Him, to eachother, to creation, to life, to Heaven, the universe and to infinity.

Does your soul know these things?
Mine does.

Does God Exist?
Has a scientist yet proven where the soul comes from, the one creation greater than flesh and bone that can live infinitely and walk boundlessly knowing more than it's mind has yet to discover.

I won't accept some scientific DNA of a soul given to us by God, respecting also that scientists were not made to disqualify God but were made of God as we were for such things God did want us to speculate and to prove to us there may be scientific reasons for many things and medically it has bettered the quality of life  but it know way can it disprove 2 things:

1.God does Exist.
2. The soul is of God and there is no scientific explanation to say that it is not from God... Just as creation was from God.
