AMEN! GOD knows who is HIS! Doesnt matter what humans say about you. Stay the course. Obey HIS WORD/commandments: 1. Love the LORD with all your heart. 2. Love your neighbor as yourself.
GOD knows HIS children. Walk in love in HIS HOLY NAME. Raise up HIS Holy name. Edify others. Love all people.
Please pray the LORD's PRAYER and please read:
ACTS 19:11-22
11 So remarkable were the miracles worked by God at Paul's hands
12 that handkerchiefs or aprons which had touched him were taken to the sick, and they were cured of their illnesses, and the evil spirits came out of them.
13 But some itinerant Jewish exorcists too tried pronouncing the name of the Lord Jesus over people who were possessed by evil spirits; they used to say, 'I adjure you by the Jesus whose spokesman is Paul.'
14 Among those who did this were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest.
15 The evil spirit replied, 'Jesus I recognise, and Paul I know, but who are you?'
16 and the man with the evil spirit hurled himself at them and overpowered first one and then another, and handled them so violently that they fled from that house stripped of clothing and badly mauled.
17 Everybody in Ephesus, both Jews and Greeks, heard about this episode; everyone was filled with awe, and the name of the Lord Jesus came to be held in great honour.
18 Some believers, too, came forward to admit in detail how they had used spells
19 and a number of them who had practised magic collected their books and made a bonfire of them in public. The value of these was calculated to be fifty thousand silver pieces.
20 In this powerful way the word of the Lord spread more and more widely and successfully.
21 When all this was over Paul made up his mind to go back to Jerusalem through Macedonia and Achaia. 'After I have been there,' he said, 'I must go on to see Rome as well.'
22 So he sent two of his helpers, Timothy and Erastus, ahead of him to Macedonia, while he remained for a time in Asia.

A gift given under duress is payment or tribute, not a gift at all.
A gift given freely without expectation, is the greatest gift of all.
What possibly could we make/give to the One that created everything, and owns all?
Only our Love. Because he gave it to us, it is ours to give back, to share and increase with one another.
God’s gift was not given under duress, it was given freely and with love.
God Almighty gave us freedom, eternal life.
What we give Him will never be enough, our lives or love.
He gave freely without reservation His only begotten Son, we have only our lives to give back.
We fail on so many levels every day, yet He still loves us, the retched sinner.....He loves us beyond what we deserve.
If He gave us what we deserve we would spend eternity in hell.
I am suspicious of people that can read “God’s” mind...
That think they are God’s shrink...
also I marvel at people that worship the bible or other Scripture..
and use scripture to pre-suppose God’s plans.. to replace God..
What human can understand God?... except for a designer God..
God Almighty gave us a gift the Bible among others, that tells us in words we can understand what His Mind is.
Salvation is the greatest gift.
He loves us the retched sinner, gave His only begotten Son so we might live with Him for eternity.
If you say you love Jesus, you love the Word as Jesus and the Word are the same. Reference John 1.
God gave us the Bible to explain to us His "mind". Just as he gave us children to let us know how He feels about us. He gave us marriage to explain the wedding feast of Christ. He used parables to explain spiritual things with things farmers could understand. It seems important to God to explain Himself to His beloved.
He also said we should get off the milk and onto the meat. To pretend it's too difficult to know what God says, is missing the whole point of the Bible.
So whose HIS is it? What is a HIS? Is HIS an acronym for something?
Jesus never recommended reading the bible..
Cause their were no bibles to read, in hebrew, latin or greek..
And since most people could not read anyway why would he?...
It was hundrededs of years later that the printing press was invented..
even then demand outstripped production by many times..
What Jesus recommended was, was going to the Holy Spirit..
which requires no bible eyes ears or even mouth..
Problem is most people believe the Holy Spirit is Jesus doofus..
You know a janitor.. the bible can be useful but its not mandatory..
Worshiping the bible is more like a pagan thing..
like churches, clergy, vestments and holy ceremonies.. etc...
HIS just means GOD.
GOD BLESS US ALL,
Jesus4life
