The teachings continue looping in the above order.
Our programming schedule often includes anointed men and women of God whom we respect and from whom we learn much. We do not necessarily agree, however, with every word they say, especially when it comes to using the word "Lord," which is an incorrect translation used in many versions of the Bible. (Why? Read more HERE)
We acknowledge that you need in some cases immediate answers of reassurance. Please know that you are being prayed for. When we receive news like some of you submit, it takes time for us deal with the shock and pain the losses cause us. Our prayer warriors prefer giving you answers gained through prayer and compassion rather than through emotions. Know that there are those who immediately begin praying for those faced with difficult situations. They wait to see who the Holy Spirit wants to respond to each individual. We thank you for your understanding and patience.

Re: General Questions/Comments When David wrote that he loved the law, what law was he loving? And how can a person love a law, are they not just words?
Re: General Questions/Comments
When David wrote that he loved the law, what law was he loving? And how can a person love a law, are they not just words?
Re: General Questions/Comments Evalynn,David loved the Ten Commandments and all the 613 laws, statutes, and judgments that amplified those ten major laws. The law of God represents His character of love, and so so when we love the law, we are loving Him who made it for our good. David loved the law because obeying it kept him away from evil, sin, and the consequences of disobeying the law. Too many want to use grace today to do away with the law. Grace enables you to keep the law of love and be blessed. Why don't people want the blessings of God that obedience to His laws of love in both testaments bring?

Re: General Questions/Comments Jodi,God does not tempt anyone, but He can be tempted, as when Satan told Jesus in Matthew 4:5-6 when Satan told Jesus to throw Himself down from the pinnacle of the temple, quoting Psalm 91. Using Psalm 91 this way would be tempting God. Accidental falls are covered, but not deliberate falls. Israel tempted or tested Jesus ten times in the wilderness by rebelling against Him. When we fight God, we are tempting Him.

Re: General Questions/Comments Hannah,Yes, there are Pharisees in the church in the end time. Jesus said the tares would grow until He chose to remove them. Jesus came unto His own, and His own received Him not. He said if we loved Him, we would keep His commandments (John 14:15), yet many pastors knowingly teach we should disobey His commandments. They are showing their hatred of Jesus. See Mark 7:6-9 and Matthew 7:21-23.

Re: General Questions/Comments Does that mean the God can be tempted into participating in sin through us or because of us? And as He is in us how does He stop from sinning when we do?

Re: General Questions/Comments Jodi,No, God cannot be tempted to sin (James 1:13). The word test would probably be a better way of expressing tempting God. We test Him and His mercy. He has made our spirits perfect by Jesus' blood. He lives in us, but because He is perfect and cannot sin He does not sin when we do in our souls and bodies.

Re: General Questions/Comments If Jesus is the beginning and the end, does that not mean that He made all things. And that would mean He made sin and the provision for sin. If He planned out sin, than how can a man be responcible for a sin?

Re: General Questions/Comments Danny,Jesus did create all things, but He did not create sin. Lucifer created sin when he became Satan. Men are responsible for listening to Satan, but they can confess the sin to the Father, turn it over to Jesus, who will one day put it on the head of Satan, who will bear the responsibility for all eternity.

Re: General Questions/Comments Danny,When you keep the Day of Atonement and read Leviticus 16, you will understand that Jesus bore the penalty of sin, but that eventually all that penalty will be put upon the live goat, Satan, who will bear the sin in the "wilderness" of a black darkness separated from God for all eternity (Jude 13; 2 Pet. 2:17).

Re: General Questions/Comments David,The meek who die go to heaven, but only as a temporary holding place before returning to Earth with Jesus to rule. Remember, "Thy Kingdom come, on Earth, as it is in heaven." At the end the Father will come down with the New Jerusalem to live on a renewed Earth, and the Kingdom will indeed come on Earth as it is or was in heaven, since then heaven will be on Earth.

Re: General Questions/Comments Vicky, When my children were young I made them ask each other to forgive them, than I made them declare that the other child was forgiven and they were to give them a hug. Whenever the rare dispute should happen to occur they still do that and they have taught my grandchildren and great grandchildren to do the same thing. We have peace and love in our family.

Re: General Questions/Comments James it is always a form of murder and it is a sin whenever someone want to kill another even if it stays only in your mind. I would suggest that you do what Jesus did and keep saying under your breath, Father forgive them for they do not know what they are doing. Then try blessing them with peace in their soul everytime you see them or think that you may see. If you know your position in Jesus, you can bind the demons that are affecting them. We pray peace to your soul.

Re: General Questions/Comments Sorin,They are hibernating on Earth or on a planet headed to Earth in the last days. They are prophesied only to come near the time of the wrath of God, so true believers will most likely not have to face them, since they will be raptured before that time.

Re: General Questions/Comments Dean,Yes. The Bible dictates modesty, and the uncovering of nakedness, although a euphemism for sexual contact, is also forbidden in principle. Women are directed to wear modest apparel, so apparel is a given.

Re: General Questions/Comments If nudism is wrong than why did God not give Adam and Eve clothes immediately? And why would God allow Jesus to be hung on a cross naked? And how do we appear before God the Father and Jesus when we die if we cannot take anything with us?

Re: General Questions/Comments Dean,Adam and Eve were clothed with God's glory, and only needed clothes when they sinned and lost that glory. Sin brings shame. Jesus bore the shame of sin by being naked on the cross. We are clothed with Jesus' robe of righteousness when we go into the presence of the Father and Jesus.

Re: General Questions/Comments Raymond,If you search for related topics, you will find much in the very first posts we made in March and April, 2010. Spiritual darkness will begin in late December 2012, and the preaching of the gospel will present more challenges because of the darkness, mirrored by Earth entering into the dark part of the galaxy at that date. It is hard to be specific.

Re: General Questions/Comments Jason,The giants were genetically produced from the DNA of Cain and the righteous but dead Abel to be one of Satan's weapons to pollute the race of mankind made in God's image to be instead humankind. They were not made simply to have sex with women, but to destroy people by eating them, and to bring resistance against Jesus at His return. The men who wives were stolen by the giants were emasculated, deprived of their role of leadership. In some cases they may have been eaten.

Re: General Questions/Comments Ambrose,Yes, the Bible speaks of the "fountains of the great deep" that burst open at the time of the flood, and probably they are mentioned elsewhere, such as Exodus 20:4 that speaks of the water under the earth.. And yes, there is evidence that creatures do live in those caverns. God speaks of those under the Earth eventually praising Him (Phil. 2:10; Rev. 5:13).

Re: General Questions/Comments It is of interest to me because I have heard that the physical son of Satan will come to power at the time of darkness. And after 3 years Satan will have him killed and take over his body. Do you know of anyplace in the bible that would indicate that?

Re: General Questions/Comments Does God's mercy allow us His grace, or is it His grace that gives us His mercy?
Does God's mercy allow us His grace, or is it His grace that gives us His mercy?
Re: General Questions/Comments Fred,Good question. Grace is principally empowerment of various kinds, but that grace would never have been given were it not for God's mercy, since of ourselves we don't deserve these empowerments to forgive, overcome sin, speak right things, etc., etc. Yet on the other hand, the Hebrew words chanan and channun for gracious include some elements of mercy. But grace is not mercy, per se. And mercy is not grace. Jesus is the Grace in us who gives us power to overcome and excel, but we would never have received Him unless our Father had mercifully sent Him to die for us and live in us. After all, all we deserved was death, so mercy was extended. And sometimes that merciful, unmerited favor is called grace. But that has become the major Christian definition of grace, which is only a small part of grace and is quite misleading as a definition. Many have turned that grace or favor into license to sin, whereas grace or empowerment was given us so that we overcome sin. They say, "I'm under grace, so I don't have to keep that bad, old law." Yet Paul, whom they claim is some champion of release from law keeping, clearly debunks that idea in Romans 6 (verse 14 especially). Paul was talking about law keeping to make us righteous rather than Jesus' blood that makes us righteous. He said the law was good (Rom. 7:14), but keeping any law to justify yourself before God is always wrong.

Re: General Questions/Comments Raymond,Revelation 13:3 indicates that the beast will be slain and have his wound healed, meaning he will be raised to life by Satan's power, Satan possessing him (indicated by verse 4). Yes, it will be 3 to 3 and a half years after he originally comes to power, but the start of that coming to power is not necessarily December 21, 2012. Jesus has delayed His coming (Matthew 25) and thus the scheme of things leading up to His coming, and the prayers of the saints are holding up the coming forth of the beast. So the time sequence is not fixed but depends on what the church does.

Re: General Questions/Comments Tollan,Those who understand the righteousness of Jesus have internalized 1 John 1:9-10. They know that if and when they sin or miss the mark, they can go straight to the Father, confess it, and be cleansed from all unrighteousness. They know they can go forward in confidence as if they had never sinner, because of the power of the blood of Jesus. They seek His grace inside them to cease from sinning, and they are growing in a greater and greater desire to stop sinning. We simply call for the removal of the coat of sin we have temporarily put on and asked to be covered with Jesus' robe of righteousness. In our hearts and minds we're back to Eden as if sin never existed.

Re: General Questions/Comments Jacob,God did not make it impossible for Adam not to sin. He gave him free will. Reading Romans 5 sure gives one the impression that Adam will come alive along with all his sinning descendants in the second resurrection, and "as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive" (1 Cor. 15:22), including Adam. Why would a merciful God condemn Adam forever? He had to wait on the second Adam, Jesus, to come and redeem Adam and all his descendants.

Re: General Questions/Comments Adam and Eve walked with God, talked with Him and even covenanted with Him. Did you not say that they even wore the glory of God? So would that not mean a second chance for them while everyone else would only have had one chance.

Re: General Questions/Comments Jacob, No one really has only one chance. God is so merciful He give us all many opportunities to truly know Him. Not qualifying as the Bride of Jesus when we have that opportunity is not the same thing as not making at all one day into God's Family but in a lesser position of authority.

Re: General Questions/Comments Evalynn,No. Leviticus 23 speaks of the Sabbath day not only as a day of worship and rest, but of corporate worship {"holy convocation"), assembling together to worship Jesus (Heb. 10:25). Anything else may be a good start, but it is in many cases simply excuse-making to avoid obeying God because of fear of change and what people will say.

Re: General Questions/Comments Beattrice, When you see christians just coast when they see so much happening, it signifies people who are under a spell of seduction, deception and stupidity. These spells can be easily broken if the person has not set their will to have these demons over their life. If they enjoy their status, (asleep) only the Father can get them set free via the Holy Spirit, and prayers in the spirit.
Beattrice, When you see christians just coast when they see so much happening, it signifies people who are under a spell of seduction, deception and stupidity. These spells can be easily broken if the person has not set their will to have these demons over their life. If they enjoy their status, (asleep) only the Father can get them set free via the Holy Spirit, and prayers in the spirit.
Re: General Questions/Comments Paula, Yes a person is committing adultry by holding onto the soul ties that others have placed upon them, will be affected in their relations and ability to maintain a marriage relationship. This becomes more effective when they make their relations to marry demons. Everything goes disruptive.

Re: General Questions/Comments If you know that several co workers are steeling materials from the boss, should I say anything to them or just to the boss?

Re: General Questions/Comments When a peron trespasses against God, are they in debt or in sin? And when you forgive someone which one do you forgive?

Re: General Questions/Comments Arvella, You should first let them know that what they are doing is unacceptable to you and to God, It is ellegal and if the boss catches them, they will go to jail. If there is no improvement in their behavior, you are then responcible for letting the boss know what is going on, or you could be lumped in with the thieves.

Re: General Questions/Comments Raj, Sin is a trespass and a debt. The wages of sin is death, therefore this debt has to be paid and without Jesus in volved it means your life. Forgiveness includes all aspects and therefore all has to be forgiven.

Re: General Questions/Comments Justin,Marriage was the the third covenant made by Jesus with Adam and Eve. He performed the ceremony as you will read in the early chapters of Genesis. It is a covenant, and it still holds power today.

Re: General Questions/Comments If marriage is a covenant that is still in force today, why do so few want to get married? And why do then want to get a divoce so fast, after they do get married? I hear that chrristians now have a 72% divorce rate while the world only has a 51% divorce rate.

Re: General Questions/Comments Justin,Satan has broadcast his end-time marriage propaganda (just a piece of paper, why bother, etc.) to the world and he has attacked Christian marriages specifically. Furthermore, Christians are asleep spiritually, so they easily follow Satan's plans rather than God's. People, including Christians, get divorced easily because of a refusal to forgive and an ignorance about the cloak of invisibility. Much more could be said.

Re: General Questions/Comments Why would one have to go through a ceremony before one can claim to be married? Would it not be better to just pick some women, and jump in bed with her andthen call oneself married? That way if you find that she is unsatisfying, you can simply leave and pick out another. No fuss and no bother.

Re: General Questions/Comments Levi,If marriage to you is only about self-satisfaction rather than a covenant of enduring, mutual love and service, then maybe you should think twice about marriage/and or "hooking up" with the sad woman who will be hooked up with you. No fuss and no bother for you...but how about her? You reap what you sow. You sow selfishness, and you will see it come back against you from the one you abuse. God's way is best. We pray you will discover and practice the way of love, because any other way brings loss, failure, and the works of death.

Re: General Questions/Comments I am not looking at it as selfishness but as a form of simplicity as most people have know idea of why marriage exists. As people do not want God in their life, a change in procedure should also intail so as not to mock God institution.
