Romans 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
18 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.
John 16:33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
I hate this life so I am ready to leave it when the Bridegroom comes but in the meantime, I am thankful that He is in me and with me always to walk me through this valley of death, suffering afflictions & grievances, in seeing Him help me get through it each and every day. So in my suffering, I am seeing how my Friend, Jesus, is helping me keep my eyes on Him in the midst of the storms in my life to have His peace until He calls me Home by His will and not by my will.
I do not wish to deprive my Friend of the opportunity in giving me His peace while helping me suffer this life, thus overcoming the world for me each and every day.
Psalm 23:1The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.
Sometimes He leads me to reflect on the things He has done for me in the past to reassure me that He will help me through whatever trial I am going through presently.
Sometimes, it helps to be thankful too. I am thankful to the Lord for reminding me to be thankful no matter what I am suffering at the moment.

It is true that each of us are unique coming from different backgrounds & upbringings, just as it is true He is working in us to conform to the image of His Son.
Romans 8:28 And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
29 For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.
This is why we will give all the glory to the Son for what He has done for us in bringing us Home to His glory.
Psalm 100:3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
Ephesians 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
Philippians 1:6 Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:...
...11 Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
1 Corinthians 3:21 Therefore let no man glory in men. For all things are your's;
22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the world, or life, or death, or things present, or things to come; all are your's;
23 And ye are Christ's; and Christ is God's.
1 Corinthians 1:29 That no flesh should glory in his presence.
30 But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption:
31 That, according as it is written, He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
So no matter how bad a sinner is nor what the sinner has done, Jesus will save and work in each unique sinner to be free from sin to conform to the image of His Son to His glory. Amen.
Thanks for sharing the music video.

Actually, it did NOT say "thou shalt not kill." It said thou shalt not MURDER. Not kill, not self defend, not fighting a war, not even manslaughter, but MURDER. Big difference there.

Hebrews 10:35 Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompence of reward.
36 For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.
37 For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.
38 Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.
Go forward each day in faith with Him as He is keeping your soul while you suffer, rather than draw back from Him by committing suicide.
1 Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:
13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy.
14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified.
15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters.
16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf.
17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God?
18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?
19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.

Thank you very much for ur response in one of my deep dark moments I truly appreciate ya
Christ Crucified Divine Blood
Testifying Both to the Jews, and also to the Greeks, Repentance Toward God, and faith Toward our Lord Jesus Christ. acts 20:21).
We receive the holy spirit of Christ when we believe the gospel
1 Corinthians 15:1-6).
Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures
4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
5 And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6 After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
In whom you also trusted , after that you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation: in whom also after that you believed, you were sealed with the holy spirit of promise. ephesians 1:12-13).
that the God of our lord Jesus Christ, the father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him. ephesians 1:17).
2 Timothy 2:19: "Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let everyone that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity."
Jesus Promises A Eternal Future With Him
The Millennial Reign Of Christ On Earth For 1000 Years
Then We Go to Our New Heavens And Earth Plus Our New City Were God Will Be with Us Forever
What An Amazing Future We Have Because Of The Lord Jesus
What will life be like with King Jesus Ruling The Whole World Seated On His Throne
Christ Will Visibly Reign
Jesus Christ will visibly reign. Many people will survive the tribulation -- it is the armies of the nations and the beast that are killed or judged
and Jesus will rule over remaining humanity. From Jerusalem, often called Zion in the Bible, Jesus will lead. And people will love his leadership! Consider:
Isaiah 2:3–4 (ESV) — 3 Many peoples shall come, and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
4 He shall judge between the nations, and shall decide disputes for many peoples; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore.
Isaiah's description is of an age of total peace, one where Christ is judging the nations. On that day, Zechariah says, "the LORD will be king over all the earth" (Zechariah 14:9). David was promised a descendant to sit on the throne forever, and Jesus is that descendant (Jeremiah 23:5).
The Church Will Reign With Him
Believers today will be with Christ tomorrow, leading and living in glorified bodies during the golden millennial age.
Consider these statements from Paul:
1 Corinthians 6:2 (ESV) 2 Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world?
2 Timothy 2:12 (ESV) 12 If we endure, we will also reign with him...
The prophets made it clear the earth will experience a population explosion during the millennium. With the curse suspended or at least greatly decreased, Isaiah and Jeremiah said infants would no longer die, everyone will "fill out their days," so that death at age one hundred will be considered young (Isaiah 65:20, Jeremiah 30:20).
And the new human population will grow to love and adore Christ.
Listen to the prophet Micah:
Micah 4:1–4 (ESV) — 1 It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the house of the LORD shall be established as the highest of the mountains, and it shall be lifted up above the hills; and peoples shall flow to it
2 and many nations shall come, and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may teach us his ways and that we may walk in his paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
3 He shall judge between many peoples, and shall decide disputes for strong nations far away; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks; nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war anymore
4 but they shall sit every man under his vine and under his fig tree, and no one shall make them afraid, for the mouth of the LORD of hosts has spoken.
All this will lead to joy, happiness, and biblical justice throughout the world. It will be a time when “the earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea” (Isaiah 11:9).
Nature Will Be Reborn
The sixth element of the millennium is that nature will be reborn. The earth's topography will also be rearranged as the wilderness and dry land become lush and fertile (Isaiah 35:1).
Thorns and briers will be replaced by huge trees, providing clean air and shelter (Isaiah 55:13). Crops will grow with ease. Food will be plentiful (Joel 2:24-26). Everyone will be able to afford Food Water
The animal kingdom will no longer have a predatorial nature -- the wolves and lambs, leopard and baby goats, lions and calves, bears and cows will intermix (Isaiah 11:6, 65:25).
Children will be able to lead even the strongest predators because they will all become herbivores (an animal that feeds on plants.)
(Isaiah 11:7). And we will no longer have an adversarial relationship with the animal kingdom as even wild beasts and poisonous snakes become docile and safe under King Jesus' leadership (Ezekiel 34:25, Isaiah 11:8-9).
I've already pointed out human life will flourish -- people won't die young and will be healthy for much longer (Isaiah 65:20, Jeremiah 30:20).
Isaiah says there will be much less disability (Isaiah 35:6). Christ's presence will curtail cancers and make us new. The dominion we lost at the fall of Adam will be restored.
Satan Will Be Bound
(Revelation 20:1-3). 1* Then I saw an angel come down from heaven, holding in his hand the key to the abyss* and a heavy chain. 3and threw it into the abyss, which he locked over it and sealed, so that it could no longer lead the nations astray until the thousand years are completed.
Judgement of Satan
7 When the thousand years are over, Satan will be released from his prison 8 and will go out to deceive the nations in the four corners of the earth—Gog and Magog—and to gather them for battle. In number they are like the sand on the seashore.
9 They marched across the breadth of the earth and surrounded the camp of God’s people, the city he loves. But fire came down from heaven and devoured them.
10 And the devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the beast and the false prophet had been thrown. They will be tormented day and night for ever and ever.
Judgement Of The Dead
At the end of these thousand years, the books will be opened, and those who belong to Death and Hades, along with Satan, are thrown out of God's presence into the lake of fire (Revelation 20:10, 13-15).
And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.

Hello @Twistie,
Here in the UK, in Wales, the sun is shining, and the day looks bright. I have been sat in bed reading from the book of Revelation, a notebook and pencil to hand, and though I recently read it through, I am going through it again and taking time to consider what is being said. I have an appointment at the Doctor's surgery for a blood test this morning, and will shortly have to make a move, but looking at your thread, I just want to send you my very best wishes.
Keep your eyes upon your Saviour,
Commit your way to Him,
and He will keep you.
in His love and grace.
Chris

That sounds terrible, I can't imagine the pain and suffering you've been through, ma'am. In the ancient days in Israel, priests were actually medical doctors who were responsible to diagnose and treat diseases, and the patients and their families were to bring their offerings to the temple. There was a whole chapter about this job description in Leviticus. Today, not much has really changed, doctors are the new priests, except all they can offer and all they are incentivized to offer is their sorcery, aka "pharmakeia". It may suppress the symptom for a while, but the root cause is still there. Also, they see human body like a machine, so they are taught and trained to take a reductionist approach by only targeting at the individual part that has a problem. This just reminds us that this world is broken and this body is sinful, only Jesus our Lord can truly heal us. And oftentimes, like those Israelites in the desert bitten by fiery serpents, only then, when we're at the bottom of the valley, in pain and suffering, would we lift up our heads and genuinely seek God for salvation.
I hope everything is well and you're getting better. There's no quick fix, chronic illness requires chronic healing. So be patient, and have peace in Christ. Faith may seem like a placebo, but that placebo effect can give you strength and carry you through.

Hi Twistie,
Sorry I'm nearly a month late, been very busy recently. I honestly don't think that any sin is bigger than Jesus's salvation, with the sole exception of unbelief. I don't care what you've done, so long as you've accepted Jesus as your Lord and saviour, your ticket to Heaven is assured, your name is written in the Lamb's Book of Life. But what about suicide? Same applies. Have a look at the Hall of Fame in Hebrews 11. Can you spot the victim of suicide in there?
That said, I strongly urge anyone with suicidal thoughts to seek psychiatric help as a matter of urgency. For the non-Christian that does the deed, they are throwing away their 'get out of Hell card', no longer able to repent and accept Jesus; that's exactly where they'll go. And if they think this world is unliveable, they've seen nothing yet and worse still, the next one lasts forever.
For the Christian; the victim is going to have to explain to God in person why they have cut short His plans for them, snatched His will and imposed their own and turned their back on all His future blessings. Moreover they will have to explain to Him why they didn't wait patiently upon God and instead listened to the doom and gloom of His enemy, took his enemy's advice and jumped into destruction. That will be a very scary and toe curling meeting with the all powerful, majestic and Holy God that created Heaven and Earth. Don't even think about it.
If you can't help but think about it, please, please, please IM me and I'll pray with you for deliverance, victory and power.
May God bless and keep you in His perfect peace.
Love,
Andy x

God would never approve of suicide. No Christian would.
Attempting and succeeding shows that "God is not enough." and those who care about you are not enough.
Suicide is a permanent solution to temporary problems. Some maybe long term but they will end.
There is a solution to almost any problem.
No Christian can think it is ok and = Heaven.

Why cause I don't judge people no matter what title they need to label themselves with
I just follow The Word The Truth
I'm not sure tho what u follow
You have got a very agitated Spirit that much I can see your own word convict you on quite a few of your post n comments
I pray you start following the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob tho
There's quite of few Christians like you all filled with self righteousness of their own following their own unclean Spirit. Like I said I hope you come into the Light soon.
Immanuel

Hi Twistie, it's me again.
I love you and I do pray for you and as your older brother, I want to take issue with you. Your flesh is not a prison, it's a Temple, you were created in God's image and when you become a disciple, there's a real resemblance there. You are totally gorgeous, so stunningly beautiful are you, that God sent his precious son to die an excruciating death so that one day we will be with Him, worshiping Him forever.
Some Christians think we've got to despise ourselves as sinful creatures not worthy of God's love, but there's no scriptural authority to support that ideology. The world says we need to love ourselves or no one else will. I say we need to love ourselves and each other. Matthew 22:39 and we must love each other with the same depth and intensity that Jesus loves you John 13:34. The two are connected.
Therefore my dear li'l sis, I urge you to seek God out, ask Him to reveal Himself to you ask for extra helpings of His Holy Spirit, luxuriate in His love and bask in His blessings.
Just as importantly, ask God to use your flesh to witness to others the richness of His grace, His wonderful invitation and the amazing lifestyle and riches He wants to bless us with, if we'll only accept Him.
We serve a positive and loving God. May He bless and keep you.
Hope you have a lovely Sabbath day.
Lots of love,
Andy xxx
