Thanks for posting (II Peter 3:10)

[NRA2BFree]

Amen! Thank you for posting this! Psalm 91 is one of my favorites from the book of Psalms. You should join our daily prayer for America thread! Kingattax has just started posting the threads again! Prayer is the only thing that can save America. IF we haven’t gone too far.

Yea, but as soon as the predicted doomsday passes and he’s still here it becomes, The Knights of Ekke Ekke Ekke Ekke Ptang Zoo Boing Zow Zing!

This is why he always leaves his “revelations” vague. He casts such a broad net that he could grab at any bit of news and say, “See, that’s what I was talking about!”

I have stated before that the God of the Bible speaks in specifics...not in lines of awkardly forced poetry.

He does not speak for God. I say this as a Christian who is concerned that the Church is forsaking its obligation to “test all things” and to “try the spirits.”

Hey Skippy, it's been a while. OK, so not long enough.

What in particular are you looking to see? God is omnipresent and manifests His power everywhere. He also comes in love and wisdom.

It is not going to be a cosmic event that destroys the earth. It will be a supernatural event which changes our view -- look for truth as you understand it, not factual declarations.

Today is the second day of creation and the second seal is opened.

First, I have to wonder if you're serious about what you posted. I sense there may be some tongue-in-cheek, but just to make sure, let me say that I'm not looking to "see" anything. Please take another look at what you posted:

"It will be a supernatural event which changes our view..."

What does that mean? It sounds dangerously close to the Gnostic view of revelation knowledge that is open "only to those who are ready to receive it."

"look for truth as you understand it, not factual declarations."

Truth is not defined by how I understand it. Truth is objective and absolute. It is, by definition, a factual declaration.

With regards to the last line about the second seal, I have no idea what that means.

We're gonna pull you through.

Open your Bible to a random page and read from where your eyes fall. Close your eyes and pray with the intention to hear the Lord's voice within. Jot down your thoughts to return to.

If your mind is polluted with replaying old tapes and triggering negative emotions, this of course will not work. Repentance is then required with silent prayer and self examination.

If that sounds gnostic to you, well I don't know. It's the difference between knowing about Jesus and knowing Him within as the mind of Christ.

As for my last line. That is my declarative statement where I am on the path. It perhaps does not apply to you.

“Open your Bible to a random page and read from where your eyes fall. Close your eyes and pray with the intention to hear the Lord’s voice within. Jot down your thoughts to return to.”

What you’re talking about is transcendental meditation and there is NO biblical imperative for doing this.

When Jesus spoke of praying in the secret place, this is what He spoke of. The story of Martha and Mary demonstrates your objection and the Lord's rebuke to you.

It's referred to as centering and contemplative prayer in the Catholic faith tradition and they have had mystical thology as part of their doctrine for quite some time.

This not your first post of this sort. And you’re still here ...

[paulycy]

Kind of like the Knights of Nee.

Perhaps he needs a.... shrubbery?

The word of God does not come across as an incoherent ramble.

Oh, but you're supposed to "look into your heart" to check this out. "If you're spiritual" you would know that he's a prophet.

Bah! I know what the Bible says about my heart. And I know that the Bible talks a lot about false prophets ("I had a vision, I had a vision!") and false teachers.

I'll go with God's test:

20 But the prophet who presumes to speak a word in my name that I have not commanded him to speak, or who speaks in the name of other gods, that same prophet shall die.’
21 And if you say in your heart, ‘How may we know the word that the LORD has not spoken?’—
22 when a prophet speaks in the name of the LORD, if the word does not come to pass or come true, that is a word that the LORD has not spoken; the prophet has spoken it presumptuously. You need not be afraid of him.
