Not sure i am convinced because how do you explain the verse an eye for an eye
in the old testament there have always been consequences for wrong doing and stiill are for sin.If we believe the word then that word is from God not satan.As far as satan is concerned he uses violence as his tools of trade he works on our fears and is limited to robbing stealing and destroying he does nt have
anything else.Violence confirms to us that there is a spiritual battle going on both on the earthly plane and
in the heavenlys and the battle is over souls.The verse the kingdon of heaven is expanding and violent people take it by force is referring to that spiritual battle and as satan uses violence to expand his dominion so does God use violence to counter him.So what does he mean by that term for me i
think it is saying that the the force of evil that satan uses or violence is overcome by a greater violence or force a more powerful one that being the Love of Christ.Through the cross we see that clearly portrayed and
in our
lives that very same battle is still happening right now for dominion be clear if we walk
in the flkesh satan will have dominion over us but if we walk according to the spirit and abide
in Christ we have freedom from our old nature.and satan.He can oppose us but he wont be able to influence us if we are
in Christ.

Tommy God has already forgiven you for your sin the moment you asked Jesus into your
life and confessed him as Lord.From that point he paid for your sin
in full past present future.It is not sin that stops us from being with the Lord so you are saved.The problem you are experiencing is the battle for your
life in the here and now satan is out to destroy you and he knows our weaknesses.If you are honest there were already issues
in your
life that you struggled with and never got the victory over.So where do you go from here as i found myself
in the same situation i was a christian but walking according to the flesh.God does nt change his mind he always loves us but because of our choices we distance ourselves from God.The issue is that we like sin thats our wicked hearts and to be fair we cant change our nature only Christ can do that our old nature must be crucified with Christ.The stumbling block is our pride we have to admit that we cant do it For me that was terribly difficult i was so independent
thinking i could do
anything but the truth was a made a real mess of things.I sense you are at a crossroads and are feeling desperate and confused.So as a brother
in the Lord you need to confess your sin to God and tell him that you are weak -LCB- we all are -RCB- and that you cant do it
in your strength -LCB- None of us can -RCB- but ask him to send the holy spirit to help you deal with the temptations and the sin that you struggle with and he will help you to change your
life he will empower you as he did me.Rather than look at who you are look to Christ and walk
in him and he will make you a new man and sin will not have dominion over you.Jesus came to set us free from bondage.Having once been a slave to sin i know what it is like to have been set free by the power of God and that is what Christ is offering you today.All it takes is a desire to change or repent and admit we cant do it and trust him to give you the strength to walk
in him regards brentnz

Thus I don't
think anything has changed for us today we have been sent out to do the same it only starts to work if we go out to and go to the dark places

Tim i found it liberating to just do what the Lord wants you to do i work within his boundarys and yes i attend church and enjoy it.I love the people and i love hearing the word and worshipping the Lord even if others are still bound up with traditions thats not my walk thats theres.My focus is to do what the Lord wants me to do.There have been times i have said no to the pastor he does nt understand why i choose not to lead the worship.i query him as well regarding the idea that its not just performing a function because there is a need our hearts have to be
in the right place so that the Lord can use us but he did nt understand where i was coming from and thats okay because of that i just said no until my heart is right i am better not being involved
in leading.But i am happy to be an encouragement to others
in the worship team i havent wanted to be the leader i have done that
in the past.So my focus has been just the singing and being part of different worship teams i
think the Lord has other plans as the groups i am
in seem to be changing at the same time i am aware that i do nt to worry about change as the Lord knows whats best.I used to be quite comfortable leading the music but that was before when i was operating
in my own self confidence and pride.The Lord did such a huge change
in my
life that i lost my self confidence and that is not a bad thing at all as my spiritual growth has been incredible.The big change was my identity moved from me and what i could do to knowing who i was
in Christ and that he is my strength and confidence.Now i know that without him i can do nothing
in fact i am dependent on his empowerment through his holy spirit all the time
in everything.
In the weekend i was asked to lead the music at another church i attend multiple churchs although i attend two regularly one has services
in the morning and one has services
in the evening so the two do nt really clash.
In the weekend i was asked to lead the music its been two years since i did that and i was worried on how i would go.All i can say is that it went really well and because i stepped out
in Faith the Lord really blessed the morning to the congregation.The difference is knowing that i serve the Lord with the gifts he has given me but my heart has to be right and when i do it
in his way it builds up the body and it brings glory to him.May the Lord continue to show you what he wants you to do even though others may not understand your reasons i just want you to know that you do nt have to pull away completely just work within the boundarys that the Lord gives you and do nt feel pressured by others expectations to do
anything that feel uncomfortable.Be involved just as you feel lead by the holy spirit even if it is
in a very minor way take small steps.regards brentnz

I
think if
anything this country would be a mormon country since it was founded here... but since mythology is all myths lets all be happy we
live in a country where people can believe what they wish and be open about it yet those beliefs based on nothing more then each persons personal «experiences» which are questionable at best have little impact on the government which dictates the laws we
live by... WRONG!
But time and place are strong medicine for many
in our world, where, to quote Flannery O'Connor, many people «ain't frum anywhere,» and where a contemporary writer like Warren's fellow Kentuckian Bobbie Ann Mason finds a sobering story
in the
lives of many of her characters who can't
think of
anything to do with themselves.
You choose to do what you did and
in that action held the seed of change... might i add that if one was to change all it takes is (normally) a different outlook on
life — and so with that you could have tried
anything as long as you
thought full heartly that it would have an impact on your
life and the way you view things (whether good or bad, poistive or negitive).
You never saw
anything so purple
in your
life, and the cloth was some shimmering fabric that reflected light
in remarkable ways, so that staring directly at even the edges of the rippling brilliance of his robes was mesmerizing, which is probably the whole point, robewise, when you
think about it.
You
think you are
in control of your
life but you are not and until you accept the one that voluntarily shed blood for you, you will go through
life without fulfilling your true purpose of
anything, except what the enemy of man dictates to your heart.

anything and everything I can
in the time I have that I
think will get the person to the point where they become persuaded that simply by faith alone
in Jesus they have everlasting
life.
I don't
think it's so much about the levites being paid for their service it's about us doing what's right toward Pastors that must feed and tend to the flock of GOD if GOD has called them.JESUS even said
in luke 10:7 that the laborers are worthy of their wages.
In luke 8 1 - 4 it's says even JESUS HIMSELF recieved financial support from the women who ministered to him with their possessions.Now most people today would say he should have been ashamed of taking money from those poor women but JESUS accepted their support and they was blessed for sowing onto the LORD»S work.1 Corinthains 9:1 - 15 says dint muzzle the ox while it tread out the grain was GOD talking about oxes no he was talking about those who labor
in the ministry.Who goes to war at their own expense.Or who goes to war but pay for their clothes, guns, etc.No one because the goverment if that country provide these things because of the soilders service.Who plants a vineyard and don't eat from it.Who tends a flock and don't drink the milk of it.I
think it's just spiritual sense to support a pastor that's teaching you the word, casting out devils, laying hands and healing is manifesting
in people
lived, going to hospitails, prisons, and house calls to pray for the sick and shut
in, going to graduations and funnerals, praying and fasting for himself and the flock.I
think a person who
think a pastor shouldn't be paid for their service either don't know they need to be paid and need to be taught or they are demonic
in their
thinking and either hate GOD, PASTORS, AND GOD»S PEOPLE.Why do nt you hear people saying
anything against the dope dealers, strip clubs, dope houses, liquor stores, etc.It's only when people give into the LORD»S work that evil minded or misinformed people have a problem with it.No sir we don't have to use the old testament to show that we should support out pastors.You don't use the law, love tells me to support the pastor.Under the new testament LOVE is the greatest of all.Love for GOD and man.If GOD asked for 10 percent under the law to support the levites who didn't have all the responsibilities of Pastor today.Church rent, gas for vans of thd church, insurance fir the church and church vehicles, feeding and clothing the poor, light, gas, and water bill, mantience on the church or vehicles, not to mention the Pastor own house, cars, children, insurance, etc.If would be foolish for one to
think that a pastor should take care if his house and GODS HOUSE without people supporting the work of the KINGDOM OF GOD.If we love GOD we are going to support HIS KINGDOM and HIS PASTOR.If under the law GOD asked for 10 percent how much should we give under the LOVE COVENANT?Example I love my wife and if I had 300 dollars I would surley give her more that 10 percent which would be 30 dollars because I love her.The law says you must give LOVE says I chose to give because I love GOD and man.Again we don't have to use the law just love and spiritual sense because hate and a carnal senses will not understand.Now I have given you scriptures please do the same when you respond not your opinion.Please respond right away I await your answer.GOD BLESS.
When,

live the way he trained us to do... through His spiritual teachings.
I am an atheist, and I don't
think of myself as a meaningless
anything... Why would one
think that an atheist would have no meaning
in life?
It also explains why so many mistakenly
think God is impressed with our level of certainty over our beliefs, when
in fact the only thing that means
anything to God is how faithful his people are
in trusting his character and
in living in relationship with him, regardless of whatever level of certainty they have, or don't have.
In that same novel, someone comments to Jenny, «Maybe you
think that it's only women who find
life meaningless or feel their hearts frozen and empty when they don't have
anything but their work to love?
I believe just like
anything else
in life, societies, people, cultures, behaviors etc all evolve, and it's up to us as
thinking men and women, to decide what should still matter and what shouldn't matter as much.
Oh, and
in your post on uses for

With these great shifts extending over two centuries and a half and culminating

Okay I love
living in Colorado but when I
think about all that fresh California produce and how avocados actually grow there and are probably so much better than
anything I can buy at the grocery store, I am insanely jealous!
I
think I might try making them with just coconut flour;
living in the UK, it's difficult to get
anything that's not FLOUR flour.
