GOOD MORNING TO ALL......

That word "IF" has more than one translation from the Greek. And in many instances actually translates as since Christ has risen we are made, assured in Father's salvation
So when you see if, think since this or that you are what God says you are through Son's finished work for you
In this verse below the word "if" does not mean since it means: if there is no resurrected Christ, not since there is no resurrected Christ
1 Corinthians 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen

1 Corinthians 15:14 and if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.

Then we get the word "IF" again, which simply here in the verse below means since we are risen with Christ, now either one believes this or they have doubt by that misinterpreted word "IF"

Hope and pray you all see this, where there is much lead in the writing as to have doubt and doubt is the be setter to truth of God alone
good morning to you Sister

Colossians 3:1 If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God

Yes Praise is what knocks out all the dross does it not?
Psalm 100:4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.

David saw this afar off and we are seeing afar back both looking a the cross of Christ, where we all are redeemed by Christ to gain new life in the Spirit of Yahweh, Life everlasting
I appreciate this otherwise I would still be in stress over the mess Adam and Eve brought here to this world, God inverted it by and through Son for us, in Mercy to us,
Thank you Father, thank you Jesus, for you both being one, in Spirit and truth, to set me and all that beleive free

As many do need Jesus, and maybe the screaming and yelling might stop you think?

Well then together we can kick the trash out to the curb and it is hauled away gone to the dump, Hallelujah

Ty for your blessing, be blessed also. One thing about combat boots, is this, their worn till the battle is done, this reminds me of all the Veterans here who fought for USA, and for our freedoms, Thank you men of Valor, and Courage, some go awol, some take a hike to Canada to get out of it. Wars, and spiritual wars, our Christian motto should be a daily reminder, if God be for us, who can be against us, no one is mightier than our Lord. Courage is an important factor. We could be too armed to carry, armed to the gills, but where has the courage gone. The Lord talks about Courage a lot, be bold and very courageous. hugs

Then we get the word "IF" again, which simply here in the verse below means since we are risen with Christ, now either one believes this or they have doubt by that misinterpreted word "IF"

IF we all are too good, then we'll be angles and then what? so being naughty sometimes is a lot of fun,,,,

That will be very easy to do, if your anorexic. There's nothing to take out, since there's nothing to eat. .

Yes Toska, no matter what stand like the mighty oak tree that once was a small nut that stood its ground against all the forces of nature
Trust Sister no matter what attacks come, go to Father and thank Father for Son, thanking Christ for Christ's finished work for you, because by this you can approach the throne of grace in confidence, for guidance in how to react to this war here on earth you are in
Me I am learning to stay at the throne of grace where I am safe and go out and war when Father says I am ready to, Father in the lead as the Holy Spirtit led Christ the Son

Day by day I am growing stronger and stronger--I am no longer that small nut I learned this past week that I am so much stronger than I thought and that my faith in our Father is very strong. I am putting all my trust in Him to help me through the attacks that may come from the events of the past couple of weeks that could only have been sent by the evil one. Trust that He will give me the words when I need them and silence when it is prudent. Mostly, trust that I will not fear what may happen.

I give all the glory to Him, He is such an awesome God. We are truly blessed to have a Father that loves us so much. I give thanks to Him daily (multiple times) for all He has done for us through Christ. The beauty of the love He has for us literally gives me chills. To be loved so much by One who is perfect in every way.............are there any words to describe that? Giving thanks and glory and working each day to please Him just don't seem like enough.

I am praying that this entire situation is over, that the evil one has realized he cannot get to me the way he tried this time. But, if evil is still going to attack, I am prepared. I have Christ on my side and our Father through Christ. No matter what may come, I know I will stand strong in my faith and not be swayed by evil.

Bless you for your encouragement and guidance. I thank God for you and several others here on CC who have helped me grow.

YOu have such a child like spirit, this is something that is very attractive to the wicked. The wicked will be destroyed, God promised this for us, he is not a man that he would lie, it says. Today I almost was questioning God's Love for me, and before I even thought another thought, the HOly Spirit said," My ways are not your ways", God does talk to us, through his word, through the HOly spirit, the 3 in one, John 17. Thanking the Lord for this Place, we are spiritual family, that the Blood ties us together, knitted together within the Love of Christ, in whom all POWER AND AUTHORITY IS. Amen

When provoked to any of the fruits of unrighteousness, INVOKE the Spirit of the Lord, Invoke his word, his presence into your life right then and now. Evil provokes us to the unrighteous fruits, but we Invoke the POWER OF THE almighty Lord, God, and SAvior.

You are right, my spirit is child-like because I have been a Christian for such a short time. I can see why the evil one would think I would make an easy target. What he does not realize is that I am a complete and total hard-head. I have given my life to Christ and I will not be swayed by the temptations of satan.

Thank you for your advice about invoking the spirit of our Lord when I feel I am being attacked. I have already called on our Father when I felt like I was being attacked by evil at work and then I sought out a good Christian friend of mine at work and we prayed together for protection. I know that He is with me always and He is so much stronger than the evil ones.

Thank you for your encouragement and advice. You all are helping me grow so much. I cannot thank the Lord enough for putting you in my life. God Bless.

Hi again, Toska: good to keep reading the Word itself without fail every day also! we do that, by God's grace.

I do read the Word daily. I am amazed by how much I hunger for it! I will still be reading my bible as well as any other books that can help me in walk.

Thank you for the reminder to stay in the Word and not push it aside for other reading.
