[@ricknewton459]

I was saved at 20. Im now 42. I have been through so much suffering. I am exactly where David Wilkerson had said. I look around and all I see are "happy and nothing is wrong christians". I always wondered why I never fit in, and I see, Through MUCH SUFFERING we shall enter into the kingdom of GOD. Those whos lives are only easy with very little troubles, are questionable Christians.I have the peace of the Holy Spirit, and nothing but trouble in this world.

I still remember the words of a man of God , a pastor of a little church in Napoli who spent his life to preach to drug addict, prostituite and gangsters who was facing terminal cancer , I remember the whole family pray for his healing , he was also a father of 4 , I remember him saying stop praying the Lord Jesus want me home, then he said “ Satan you can have my flash my soul belongs to Jesus”.

Im bedridden 4 years great pain, only getting worse..why where are you God, served you 50 years. Please God have mercy 💔😭

[@reedemedandrenewed9404]

My Pastor has taught us there are two kinds of prayers: The prayers to Our Heavenly Father and prayers of judgement on the devil. I blamed God and was angry with Him for years not knowing this. Now that I'm learning spiritual warfare, life is improving. The devil loves to inflict pain. My Pastor says, "may God pain the pain." May God judge the pain and what's causing it. Many times, people suffer physically because of open doors from trauma, witchcraft, or because they or a family member have a history or free masonry. As a basic level of warfare, we confess, repent, renounce our sins and that of our ancestors. Plead the Blood of Jesus. Claim Gal 3:13, that as a new creation, satan has no rights over us anymore. We also pray for speed and restoration of the years that have been lost due to what satan did. Pray the scriptures. Pray them to Father, i.e. "Father, you said, healing is my bread. By the stripes of Jesus Christ I was healed. Please fulfill Your Word." You deal with satan, "satan, the Lord rebuke you. I bring the Blood of Jesus against you. Jesus paid my debt. I disconnect from the altars causing this pain. I release fire of The Holy Spirit to judge and destroy you and all evil alters affecting my life. I bind this attack and loose my life and destiny from you and these altars. In Jesus' Name. Amen. Alleluia." See John Ramirez on KZbin, Pastor James Kawalia, my Pastor does deliverance. Go to a church that does deliverance. I pray this helps. God bless you.

Many are the afflictions of the righteous because it's a must that we endure tribulations to enter the kingdom of God. Acts 14:22 Confirming the souls of the disciples, and exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. Is there a place in life were we can advance in the Spirit of God in our lives to the point when there's no more chastening from God? Well whom the Father loves He chastens. And it's not always about us when we go through hard times in life. Our faith and trust in Jesus Christ can ultimately show those around you Jesus Christ working in your life. God's will be done, it's about advancing God's kingdom. When you suffer for your faith in Jesus Christ and continue to walk by faith and not by sight, you are indirectly ( possibly) training a future believer. One person plants a seed another person waters it, God works in ways far beyond what we can see and understand. All who are saved by the Blood of Jesus Christ are working to for fill God's will in this World. And God's will be done.

[@AmenGirl-g5r]

Yep. I've been going through it 24/7 since May. I believe that God is preparing me to be an intercessory spiritual warrior to assist those left behind... to teach them how to manage keeping the demons at bay until Jesus comes for them. I was atheist in May. I owe God my life... I am His and he knows it. He knows I am willing to give up the safety of Heaven to return to the earth to help those who are enduring demonization as I am still since May. Some will say... if you're a real Christian, you can't have demons. Here's the facts... if you're a true and faithful Christian, you cannot be demon possessed, but ANY of us can be harassed by demons... demonized. Possession and demonization are not the same thing. I was terrified at first... did not have a clue what was happening to me. Today... demons come and my in dwelling Holy Spirit spits them out in a matter of seconds to minutes. Today, with my Spirit sword, among other thibgs, I can disable aircraft that surveil me for Satan... if I had to right this minute, I could walk on water. God has anointed and gifted me to prepare me to help others during the Great Tribulation. My dear Father, YH WH, my God Almighty, I am grateful, honored and you can be sure that I will do ANYthing for you... anything, Lord. Amen.

[@Oushimoto]

@@scrow2004 Well if we follow Wisdom it saves you isn't it so? God our Father in Heaven is wiser than all things in all creation. The Lord of everlasting Life. Doesn't a loving parent give and do good things to for their children? Anyone's foolishness always leads to them into their own troubles and is the cause of their own problems downfall. God does not cause anyone to sin. Is not a good parent full of compassion and sympathy towards their own child with love and forgives them when they are truly sorry? It's not complicated.

The emphasis on 'paulianity' throughout this message is very disturbing. Pauline Christianity isn't Christianity / following Christ.

Abraham should have known that the true God would not tell him to kill his son. That is not the most high God and father of Jesus.

[@JimmyGGGGG]

It is absolutely The Most God who told Abraham to sacrifice Isaac. The name Abraham means father of many nations or exalted Father. Abraham (exalted Father) takes his only begotten Son Isaac. Ties wood to his back and sacrifices up on the mountain on the third day. Just as God the Father gave his only begotten Son Jesus, put the cross on his back and sacrificed him on the mt of golgatha. Repent and believe God's word.

[@SonOfGodphotography]

@@JimmyGGGGG I don’t even know if there was a such thing as Abraham and besides if you take it literal, it’s a ridiculous story. Galatians chapter 4 says that Abraham and that story is an allegory and not literal.

[@JimmyGGGGG]

@@SonOfGodphotography Paul is not denying the literal aspect of the story in Gal 4. He is saying it also has an allegorical compenent. I'm also describing the allegory of that story. The story is not ridiculous. It's literally the story of the gospel being acted out by the prophets. The fact that Abraham existed is one of the foundational points of the faith. God established his covenant with Abraham. If you believe there is no literal Abraham, then you do not believe the promise of God, thus you deny God's word and make him a liar. Act 3:25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed. This is the covenant of God. You can't deny God's covenant and be in right relationship with God. Covenant is the basis of relationship with God. You are either in the covenant or out. The whole narrative of scripture is that God's people are the seed (descendants) of the man Abraham because God made him a covenant promise that he would have a seed. Rom 4:1 What shall we say then that Abraham our father, as pertaining to the flesh, hath found? - Paul literally describes himself as a physical descendant of Abraham. He's clearly not denying Abraham was a literal person. 2Co 11:22 Are they Hebrews? so am I. Are they Israelites? so am I. *Are they the seed of Abraham? so am I.* Abraham having 2 children shows that there was to be 2 types of descendants from Abraham. One are those according to the flesh, but not actually Abraham's children (Ishmael/the law) and one according to the promise (Isaac/the gospel). This is what Paul is saying. Isaac represents the true children of God according to the Spirit: those who believe in Jesus. Rom 9:7-8 Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh (Ishmael), these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise (Isaac) are counted for the seed. The scribes and pharisees thought they were children of God (Abraham's seed) because they were physical descendants of Abraham. Mat 3:9 And think not to say within yourselves, We have Abraham to our father: for I say unto you, that God is able of these stones to raise up children unto Abraham. Just because youre a physical descendant of Abraham doesn't necessarily make you a child of God. Jhn 8:37 839 I know that ye are *Abraham's seed;* but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, *If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham.* Here Jesus acknowledged they were literal *physical descendants* of the man Abraham. But he is saying they are not the *spiritual descendants* of Abraham (children of God). The true children of Abraham believe and accept Jesus, this they did not do. They did not understand the story of Abraham and Isaac was pointing to Jesus. Because they did not believe God's Word and were not his children. Therefore being a physical descendant of Abraham doesn't make God your Father. Being a spiritual descendant of Abraham makes God your Father. Abraham literally existed. God made a covenant with him. All those who believe in Jesus inherit the promise of Abraham. You are in error. You need to repent and stop putting these messages online or spreading them to others.

[@Nancydollard123]

@@JimmyGGGGG Amen Well said Thank you and God bless

[@JimmyGGGGG]

​@@SonOfGodphotography The Bible is explicit that Abraham was a literal person. In fact Galatians 4 teaches that Abraham is a literal person. In Gal 4 Paul is arguing that Abraham's two children Ishmael and Isaac symbolically/allegorically represent the fact that there are two different covenants. Paul's point in Galatians 4 is that being a PHYSICAL descendant of Abraham does not necessarily make one a spiritual descendent (one who inherits the promise of God). The allegory of the covenants shows this. He is not denying the person of Abraham, he is saying the children represent the difference between the law (Ishmael) and the gospel (Isaac). Just as Jerusalem is a literal place Paul describes a difference between the Jerusalem that is above and Jerusalem that is of earth. He's not denying that Jerusalem is a real place that exists, but he also sees how Jerusalem is an allegory. Paul himself refers to the fact that he was of the physical lineage of Abraham. Phil 3:4-6 though I myself could have such confidence. If anyone else thinks he has grounds for confidence in the flesh, I have more: circumcised on the eighth day, *of the people of Israel, of the tribe of Benjamin; a Hebrew of Hebrews;* as to the law, a Pharisee; as to zeal, persecuting the church; as to righteousness in the law, faultless. The people of Israel are literal descendants of Abraham. Hebrews talks about Christ taking upon himself not the nature of angels, but the nature of the seed of Abraham. (Hebrews 2:16). Meaning he took on literal flesh and blood because Abraham was a literal person with flesh and blood.
