I was a gay for many many years and had a ton of boyfriends, but one day read the Bible and I prayed to Jesus and you know what? he came to me and took away my gayness. I am now happily married with two children, thanks to Jesus I no longer want to be gay ! Thanks Jesus! 🎉

If he was as loving as you claim, why would he require you to do something to receive salvation? Surely God is powerful enough to not require faith in something unprovable.

I would think the term “provable” would apply more to scientific hypotheses. What I’m talking about here is a relationship. Just as I don’t expect my wife to prove her love for me, so I don’t look to God to prove His love. He has already shown me the full extent of His love by all that He has done for me.

Olive Tree- Priesthood Anointing (Produces Oil, Religious) Candlesticks, (Uses Oil) or Lamp- Royalty (Political, Royalty) 1 Kings 15:4 Joshua, the high priest (Religious), from the tribe of Levi, descendant of Kohath and Zadok- 1 Chronicles 6:12-15; End-time Ministers of God: Ezekiel 44:15-16...Zechariah 3:1; Jeremiah 33:21; Revelation 11:4; Numbers 25-7-13 Zerubbabel, the governor (not king, though the descendant of king David, but the promises to David will be fulfilled in the end, to always have a Seed in the throne. 2:Samuel 7:16; Jeremiah 30:9), the last seed of David, born in babylonian captivity, Ezra:3:2; Matthew1:12; 1 Chronicles 3:17; Nehemiah12:1; Hagai 12:1; 1 Chronicles3:17-19; (Political) Zechariah 4; given power over the religious and political powers during the tribulation to show the supremacy of God in heaven and in the earth, thus no physical power can hurt them, they are the anointed of God, for the end time!. Zechariah chapters 3 and 4. They signifed the end of law and the beginning of the promise of coming grace, through faith, in the coming Messiah, and also heralded the advent of the Messiah, Zechariah 14, and the conclusion of the world system, and the establishment of the Millennium reign and the final judgment, and the new heaven and earth- Isaiah 65, Revelation chapters 19-21; Isaiah 66:24; Lastly- the rewards Revelation 22. The Lord never leaves any thing hanging. The two books of Ezra and Nehemiah were the only ones not concluded, as the 70th week year will continue from where they stopped and the book was shut in Daniel 12:4. God always performs and perfects His purposes and promises. He is Faithful and True, He has exalted His word above all His name, so none of His word will go back to Him void! He is God All by Himself, as some would say! All glory and praises to His Holy name! Amen! Galatians 4:29-30! It's always been like this right from the beginning, right from the garden, then Genesis chapters 6,14:17-24; 21:9-10- Jacob and Esau; Pharez and Zerah; Pharaoh/Moses; David/Absalom; Jezebel, Athaliah, Haman, Herod, Hitler, Antichrist/false prophet. This has to play out till the end for all to know, without a shadow of doubt, that God rules in the midst of the heathen, the earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof, the world and they that dwell in them, and that He is Lord of all!

The two witnesses are God's witnesses standing for a) The Church, and b) Israel. They're the ones to whom God and His Son Jesus Christ revealed the whole conclusion of both creation and salvation account from the written scriptures. One of them, most probably Daniel, to whom the end was being revealed, but failed to understand, and thus had to shut the prophecy in Daniel 12:4,and was instructed to go and rest, until the end, when he would pick up from where he had stopped. Revelation chapters 4-21. The book was taken back and was consequently opened Revelation 5; Luke 4:17-20, and was shut again, signifying that this dispensation of salvation by grace, through faith in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ, would also be concluded. Then, the final 70th year after the Messiah would be cut off- the part which Daniel couldn't understand, because it didn't make sense that the Messiah could be killed. But He rose again from the dead! John was chosen as the desciple whom Jesus loved, (Daniel was also referred to as "Greatly Beloved, Daniel 10:19), was given the end time Revelation concerning the Churches and their judgment. Revelation chapters 1-4. Daniel picked up from where he left off in Daniel 9, as both himself and John were called up Revelation 4. That's why the imagery of the revelation of the prophecies were alike in both books of Daniel and Revelation. They were hidden in Daniel, but made manifest and clarified in Revelation. The little book, which is the written Bible, was given to one of the witnesses to eat. This puts an end to all written prophecies and then on, every word will be spoken. Thus, whatever is written and spoken would definitely come to pass instantly. Consequently, if they spoke "fire", or "heaven ne shut" etc., as long as it's in the written scriptures it will instantly be fulfilled. Therefore it doesn't have to be any other witnesses than those involved already in the last days prophecies- John and Daniel. Moreover, they both represent The Candlesticks and the and the Anointing Oil. Royalty and the Priesthood. The Church and Israel. Daniel was one of the Princes of Judah taken into captivity in Babylon, and the Apostle John is the son of the cousin of both Mary, his mother's sister, and Elizabeth, both descendants of Aaron. Luke 1:5; 36; John 19:25-27. They can always speak out from the word in them, and nothing shall be impossible for them to do.

The identity of the 2 witnesses, which could be the Apostle John and Daniel- Royalty and the Priesthood. Joseph, the husband of Mary, was both of the seed of David Matthew 1:1, 16; Luke 3:23-24, and of Levi. Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, who was of the daughters of Aaron, is the cousin of Mary - the woman who bore Jesus, Luke 1:36,5, and also Mary, the mother of John, Matthew 27:56. They were all of the Aaronic Priesthood lineage. Thus, the Apostle John is also of the Aaronic Priesthood lineage - Joshua the Son of Josedech Zechariah 3. Daniel was one of the Princes- descendants of King David, and Zerubbabel, Zechariah 4, taken captive into Babylon. They both meet the criteria for the Candlestick and Lampstand prophecy, as the two witnesses of God, they Anointed Ones standing before the presence of God. Their mission overlap as both represent the Church and Israel, respectively. Revelation 1:1-2, equally applies to both of them- Daniel was referred to as "Greatly beloved " 10:111, 19, as well as John referred to himself as "the desciple whom Jesus loved " John 21:7; 13:23; 20:2. They both received direct revelation from the risen Jesus Christ. John 16:25; Daniel 8:17; 20:1, 8-9; Revelation 1:17 (Daniel chapters 8-12. (Daniel chapter 10=Revelation 1, Jesus Christ came to give them the vision, from the Father). Revelation 10:11 signified the end of all written prophecies, and now they must be orally proclaimed, which continues into chapter 11, about the mission of the two witnesses. Daniel once "rested" until the manifestation and completion of the prophecy, which he couldn't understand - about the suffering and killed Messiah. John was called up in Revelation 4, and I believe the same goes for Daniel, called up from his rest. Thus, it's highly probable that they both were the ones prophesying for 1,260 days- for both the remnants of Israel and the left behind Christians, and as witnesses to the whole world as the "mystery of iniquity" is being concluded Revelation 11:2, and the world system is being prepared for final judgement. They had to do to fulfill the word that says, "It's is appointed to man, once to die, and then judgment." They died, but according to 1 Corinthians 15:51-58; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; death's sting had no effect on them, and the grave couldn't be victorious over them! They were finally called back up, and they ascended into heaven Revelation 11:7-12 to be in the presence of the Lord as "The Two Anointed Ones, The Church and Israel, that stand by the Lord of the whole earth " - The two Candlesticks and two Olive Trees!!! ZECHARIAH 4:11- REVELATION 11:4! Fulfilling Zechariah 4:14! Revelation 11:6 shows the authority given to man being displayed by the 2 representatives of the fallen, but ransomed, redeemed, regenerated, restored and reconciled man- the Church, and Israel, back to his original state and God's will for him in Genesis 1:26-28- having all authority Matthew 28:18, over all creations, until the redemption of the purchased possession, and present them faultless before the presence of God the Father! Man gets a representative in heavenly places, but no more place is found for Lucifer and his angels! Let the Lord shed light on His mystery in Jesus' name!

Being one that has studied world history, I have always said that only the biggest fool in the world would ever think the disciples could have stolen Jesus' body from a Roman Guard. But Satan still blinds people today in ways just as dumb as the lie that Jesus didn't rise from the dead. Just look at all the people who are so highly educated but still try to tell us that God doesn't exist. And they win converts for hell. I heard the story, Satan was asked what was his greatest trick ever and he replied, "convincing people that I don't exist".

I just literally started with a spiral bound pad of paper, and then eventually moved into some bound journals that you can find at almost any office supply store, or even Meijer. The key for me is to be consistent. So every day I will read my Bible or a devotional, book, jot down part of a verse or a quote from the book, and then just begin to write down some bullet point thoughts about that. I usually conclude with writing out a short prayer based on what I had uncovered in that day’s reading. Over time, you will develop your own style for this. Stay consistent and you will see the benefits begin to compound the longer you do it.
