[@constancetaylor2114]

A 24 hour fast is the sweetest thing I've experienced, even when those hours have passed I wasn't hungry, I was fasting for the power to speak health over myself who was sick and also others in the time of persecution, because I know now is the time to put all our trust in GOD and not doctors who I've gone to several times and no cure was happening and my SAVIOUR step in and make me whole in spirit and truth

[@oyooonjor7409]

I'm so much touched always whenever I roll in to study with the group. May God continue impacting His knowledge through you. Amen

[@genevieveb729]

Isaiah speaks about a continual fast from sin. Sin separates us from God. If we want to get closer to God and hear from him, it would be best to considér this type of fast.

[@genevieveb729]

Could Jesus have been angry at their condition and responses (sin) and not at the people themselves? Hence, he would tie up the 'strong man' and spoil his house by freeing his prisoners.

[@ogreymunandalu1284]

Praise be to God powerful lessons hope Sabbath school

[@patdecamp2659]

I love Hope Sabbath School. This week I was following the scripture song in my Bible and I noticed it includes verse 4 of Psalm 34.

[@meletaroberts-nt1ji]

God bless you all hope Sabbath school watching from Belmont bluefields Jamaica, your reward will be great marvelous study great people

[@eliadanyiramahirwe276]

The nearer we come to Jesus, the more we discover how dirty and unworthy we are. Surely that's what happened to the paralytic. As he went down before Jesus I can imagine the thought in his mind full of doubt "I'm not worth. I didn't think He will accept to heal me." Jesus seeing the heart says Your sins are forgiven. This brought hope in the paralytic and faith also.and his faith (a gift he received in that moment from Jesus) saved him. I believe all siners can go as they are and He is so compassionate that he helps us to believe in Him. This story is so amazing. Jesus saying don't worry about your sins that they may make me not to receive you and do for you what you can't do for yourself. It's my first time to understand this story in this way. Thank you Hope Sabbath School

[@chimaokoroma911]

The lesson show that Jesus has the ability and power to heal and forgive sin

[@davidogeto45]

Hope Sabbath School team, Happy Sabbath! It's always a blessing to watch & listen to your team as you dive & even dissect the weekly Sabbath school lessons!

[@janetkamara4881]

Happy Sabbath my family, great study as always. I'm very personate about the Sabbath. One question please, is it appropriate to attend a charitable, non adventist event on a Sabbath? This is after church service. Stay, blessed, loved you and and continue this amazing work. Pastor Derek keep shining for the LORD ❤.

[@stevenomiti4915]

Interesting lesson discussion

[@MichaGogaah]

That's exactly what it is when the demon possessed shouted "We know who you are the Holy One of God" that is because they want to distract the people from the truth they don't want to hear the truth it will ruin the illusion they had been building on people's hearts and minds. So they had to keep yelling or shouting while Jesus was doing His work or speaking about the Kingdom of God. They want the attention to themselves.

[@MilkahBwondara]

Mixed reaction was also because of different interests for example the pharisees were feeling threatened by Jesus' gospel popularity and the the truth He offered as compared to the Jewish burdensome teachings.

[@johnmoseley2623]

Great message , in Jesus name .

[@barexbeautiful8249]

Conducting medical mission on Sabbath day is one of the controversies that we would like to know your view/ideas on this controversial act of love & kindness. Some think it is unlawful to do such on a Sabbath day even if it is done for free! What is your opinion on this? Thanks in advance! 9:42

[@ruanrochamoraes4250]

God bless us.

Jesus (God) is not a respecter of persons. If we need God and are open to accepting him, he will extend himself to us notwithstanding what others think.

[@MaurvettTurgott]

Happy sabbath everyone Please explain the sabbath was made for man not man for the sabbath teacher

[@lyndonjohnson1656]

Thanks for asking. What it means,is that the Sabbath was specifically made for mankind to Rest from all work and labour. Let's give an example, what are our eyes made for? It's for us to see yes. The eyes are made specifically for seeing. Likewise the Ears are made specifically for hearing and only for hearing. The word Sabbath means REST. Therefore the 7th day Sabbath is specifically created for mankind to Rest. Amen. God bless.

[@MaurvettTurgott]

Please explain Rest i go to church on sabbath and sometines you wojld ear someone say God say its for rest yes we know that but does it mean we are to jus stay home on sabbath Thank you

[@lyndonjohnson1656]

@user-wo9vl2zq9z Read luke chapter 4 verse 16..It says, and he Jesus came to nazareth, where he was brought up;and he went to the synagogue (synagogue means church)as was his CUSTOM WAS, on the SABBATH DAY. It's holy day given by God the creator for us to worship together. Hebrews chapter 10 verse 26 tells us: not to neglect the coming together, or not to forget the assembling together on the Sabbath. It's a day where we focus on God. And not the world. Amen. God bless you 🙏

[@MaurvettTurgott]

Thank you God bless you

[@LawfulLiving]

Thanks, really. How does fasting relate to Sabbath? They kind of have some similarities between them.

[@LawfulLiving]

Fasting is not primarily about what we gain from it or its intrinsic value; it's about recognizing and focusing on who God is. By fasting, we create space for God to be the center of our lives, shifting our attention from our own needs to Him. During this time, we aim to focus solely on God, removing distractions and depending on Him for our needs and efforts. Fasting helps us recognize that our physical needs, like food, are merely shadows of a greater reality. True sustenance comes from God and His word, which is unceasing and eternal. By fasting, we shift our focus from temporary, material needs to the eternal reality of who God is. This practice allows us to depend on God for our needs and efforts, emphasizing His continuous provision and making His presence more visible in our lives.

[@marilinromero347]

Of course the demons recognise him. They lived in heaven with him, he is their creator.

[@MsGratefulgal]

setting traps is testing or examining someone, one prophet tested another prophet, it did not happen in Jesus's days only 1 Kings 13:14- "Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am. 15 Then he said unto him, Come home with me, and eat bread." The Teachers of the Law wanted to find out whether Jesus is one of them😊 trying to measure/weigh⚖️ His speech, conduct and faith (sound doctrine) and Jesus was taking them further to deep waters. It seems the trap setters are an archetype of the Bereans. Both, are all information seekers with unique information needs and Jesus is the Information Inquiry Librarian, Jesus is the Answer to every question & doubt, He improved and perfects what we know, adds to what know and He helps us to find more information by making references. Lazy bones go to the ants, Jesus told Satan: "It is written" three times😊 in the desert. Jesus is a Reference Librarian too. Did Jesus mind how information seekers approached Him? Did Jesus mention anywhere that the trap masters are here again? He is a good teacher, a kind Library and a compassionate Librarian, who offers information liberally. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally" Jesus loves to teach us His Way and the Truth. He left to us the Holy Spirit to teach us, convict us, correct us, train us, rebuke and equip us 😊 for ministry. Jesus loved to engage with the trap masters, He started at 12 years of age. Paul did not find it easy with the elites but it is about the tares growing with the wheat. Jesus engaged with all kinds of weeds not with violence and not with lying lips (Isaiah 53:9) Jesus came to show us the way, we have to prove to the world that Jesus came from Heaven and is one with the Father as we also engage with each other (tares and wheat) Let us remember to publish the good news of salvation and that our God reigns and that Jesus lives. Job had many questions to ask God, David, the trap masters, Hannah, Nehemiah cried out to God/Jesus (Holy One) and Jesus has gentle answers to us as long as we call on Him and show to Him our hunger (fake or real) He will trouble the water🧠once we come into His presence, He already knows our heart conditions😊and He is willing to help us
