Matthew 21:21

Say unto this mountain in Faith, and it shall be cast into the bottom of the sea.

There were 50 some writers, and rewriters of the King James Bible.
I never read the original Arabic bible, Jesus taught in Arabic.
From then to there, things could of been put out of spiritual perspective, especially if written under the influence of being tired, maybe other things, and not the exact interpretation of how it was written. From then on there are many interpretations of the bible.

If I need a snowhill moved, it could be shoveled, if there is a road blocked by things, they could be removed, by plows, trucks, and just call someone to do it if you have the money, it will be removed.
I don't think and don't believe that is was talking about natural things.
Jesus cursed the fig tree, because it didn't bear no fruit, and he said greater things will you do than this. Words from his lips, the word that has life, and the power of death.
His word became flesh now, and hes ever present with us, the Holy spirit teaches, and convicts, instructs, and speaks.
He taught in parables, so our human understanding could understand.
I thought of this, and this is truth, if we say in faith believing to the hindrances, and the mountains in our way, to move or how it could be said, " you will get above and beyond over it, past it, on the other side.
Joshua pulled down a wall by blowing his trumpet and yelling around it 7 times in Faith.
In FAith things will get done.
Prayer leads us out of darkness, out of the valley of despair, as we look up, and not down.
Everything could be prayed to an answer.
The answer will come.
It might not be as we plan it, because if we pray, God see's beyond that Mountain, we don't, the prayers will be heard, the first step up that ladder, is the believe that when you Prayer, Matthew 21:22 IN ALL THINGS WHAT SO EVER YOU SHALL ASK, IN PRAYER BELIEVING, YOU SHALL RECIEVE. JESUS.}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}}

Thanks for that, Sister and I think the language Christ spoke was "Aramaic" a lost language today.
Anyway regardless it is the Spirit of God that reveals truth to you personally/ The truth that has set you free in Father through Son by Faith (trust)
So fro me anything that has got me in bondage, has got me in error, and am somewhere along the line believing a lie, that is keeping me in bondage
So I stop and ask God to reveal to me where I have picked up a lie, and God has always shown me, as he does all his children such as you

Thanks for your thoughts Brother............Jesus surely "removed" or "filled" the gap for all who believe in Him and accept Him as their Lord and Savior, and because of Him, we can "boldly" approach the Throne!

However, there exists a "gap" between God the Father and mankind. For all those who deny Jesus, who remain enslaved in the bonds of sin, the "gap" is not bridged. While Jesus stands ready, willing and longing to "fill" the gap, He can not do so until/unless the person comes to Him. We all know someone in our lives who remains in the bondage of sin, and it is surely our duty to "stand in the gap" for them. To witness to them, to pray for them, to beg God for His loving mercy and grace to reach them so they might not be forever lost.

I pray that all believers identify someone they know and strive to lead that person to Christ. To have the courage to "stand in the gap" between them and God, and to be willing to allow God to work His will through them in order to reach such a person.

God bless

Wisdom, like a thought that brings insight.
When teens are growing up, they don't want the follow the leader way anymore, maybe rules.
Wanting to let loose of the do this, and that, and maybe that, not there, stay here, ways.

Then the years ahead, looking back on things, it just takes you back, to your inner child
that wants the freedom and the fun again.
Lesson to learn.
Live, laugh, love
STart now so you don't need to turn back.
Jesus is the real Life,
Laugh, like a little child
Love

Those who take life too seriously forgot how to play
not with physical toys, but with
life.

When you Pray the Father let's us play
as his children, and it is fun,,,
Trust him, he is the way,,,

I understand what you are saying and thank you, yet Christ is the way, the truth and the new life that filled the gap between /God and mankind
For by Christ's death we are forgiven all the world, made right before God 100%, Why?

Colossians 1:22 in the body of his flesh through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:

Because Father who can view no sin, had to have it taken away so Father could give us new life in the Spirit, and thus we can walk as he walked daily in Spirit only (John 4:23-24)

John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

This today is a done issue after the cross, so when one walks in Fathers love basking in this unfathomable love to flesh, others around want it to.
I do not see this as standing in the gap, rather representing the love, joy, peace and righteousness found in Father through Christ, revealed and sealed in the Holy Spirit of truth (God)
God does the drawing through us the vessels, if one is willing to be a vessel only for God to use.
At least this is what I see and all stress is out

[h=1]Psalms
56[/h]
1 .) Be merciful unto me, O God: for man would swallow me up; he fighting daily oppresseth me.
2 .) Mine enemies would daily swallow me up: for they be many that fight against me, O thou most High.
3 .) What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.
4 .) In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
5 .) Every day they wrest my words: all their thoughts are against me for evil.
6 .) They gather themselves together, they hide themselves, they mark my steps, when they wait for my soul.
7 .) Shall they escape by iniquity? in thine anger cast down the people, O God.
8 .) Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?
9 .) When I cry unto thee, then shall mine enemies turn back: this I know; for God is for me.
10 .) In God will I praise his word: in the LORD will I praise his word.
11 .) In God have I put my trust: I will not be afraid what man can do unto me.
12 .) Thy vows are upon me, O God: I will render praises unto thee.
13 .) For thou hast delivered my soul from death: wilt not thou deliver my feet from falling, that I may walk before God in the light of the living?

by God from God to see the love he has poured out to us all, while we all were yet sinners he went to the death for us. so that by and through that he could give us new life in the Spirit as he said in John 10:10 he came to give us life more abundantly.
Done through the death, burial, resurrection, ascension and delivering the Holy Ghost of promise to teach us each truth from error
Loving God for this undeserving grace. Being by Faith made a partaker in this, not a professor a possessor, not of any righteousness of my own ever, of Father's alone
Al, glory to the creator of all through the one and only Son that fulfilled all righteousness needed for us to come alive in the Sprit of God, by Belief in the finished work of Christ for us in our stead
Thank you

Psalms 50:7) Hear, O my people, and I will speak; O Israel, and I will testify against thee: I am God, even thy God.
8 .) I will not reprove thee for thy sacrifices or thy burnt offerings, to have been continually before me.
9 .) I will take no bullock out of thy house, nor he goats out of thy folds.
10 .) For every beast of the forest is mine, and the cattle upon a thousand hills.
11 .) I know all the fowls of the mountains: and the wild beasts of the field are mine.
12 .) If I were hungry, I would not tell thee: for the world is mine, and the fulness thereof.
13 .) Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink the blood of goats?
14 .) Offer unto God thanksgiving; and pay thy vows unto the most High:
15 .) And call upon me in the day of trouble: I will deliver thee, and thou shalt glorify me.

2 Timothy 2:20

But in a great house,.... This simile the apostle makes use of, to show that it need not seem strange, nor should it be distressing to anyone's mind, to hear that men of such wicked principles and practices should be in the church of God,
who are before mentioned; since in every great house or palace, the house of a nobleman, or palace of a king, there is a variety of vessels of different matter, and for different uses, and some are {mean, despicable, and dishonourable;}

and so it is in the church of God: for by this great house, in the application of the simile, is not meant the world, as some think; for though that is a house built by God, who built all things; and is a very large one, and full of inhabitants, comparable to vessels; and there are in it both good and bad, as always have been; yet it is no startling thing to any man, that there should {be bad men in it; } rather the wonder is, that there should be any good; but by this house is meant the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of truth,

1 Timothy 3:15; see There are not only vessels of { gold and of silver;} persons who are members of the visible church,
who are comparable to gold and silver, for their worth and value, and preciousness in the sight of Christ, who accounts them his jewels,

and peculiar treasure; and for their excellency and usefulness in the church, by reason of those differing gifts bestowed upon them; and for their {lustre and purity, both of doctrine and of life; }and for their {solidity and duration:}
but also of wood, and of earth: there are others in a visible church state, who are like to dry wood, destitute of the grace of God, and are fit matter for Satan to work upon, and by them raise and increase the flames of contention and division, and will be fit fuel for everlasting burnings;
and there are others who are sensual, and carnal, and worldly, who mind earth, and earthly things, and have no spirituality, nor spiritual mindedness in them: and some to honour; who are designed for honourable service, and behave honourably, and are worthy of honour in the church; are honourable officers, or members in it; and are to the honour of Christ, and the Gospel;
and shall at last enjoy honour, glory, immortality, and eternal life.

And some to dishonour; who are to the disreputation of the church, the dishonour of religion, and scandal of the Gospel; by them God is dishonoured, his ways evil spoken of, {his doctrines blasphemed,} and his name reproached; and who are themselves dishonourable among men now, and will be covered with shame and everlasting contempt hereafter in a great house—that is, the visible professing Christian Church (1Ti 3:15). Paul is speaking, not of those without, but of the [visible] family of God.
So the parable of the sweep-net (Mt 13:47-49) gathering together of every kind, good and bad:
as the good and bad cannot be distinguished while under the waves, but only when brought to shore, so believers and unbelievers continue in the same Church, until the judgment makes the everlasting distinction.
"The ark of Noah is a type of the Church; as in the former there were together the leopard and the kid, the wolf and the lamb; so in the latter, the righteous and sinners, vessels of gold and silver, with vessels of wood and earth" (compare Mt 20:16). vessels of gold … silver—precious and able to endure fire, of wood and earth—worthless, fragile, and soon burnt (1Co 3:12-15; 15:47). some—the former … the latter to dishonour—

The spirit of the Lord said something about silver and gold, and I copied and pasted the above from biblehub, as I went looking for this scripture. We all run in the race to the finish line. Those who come in first are the gold, but then there is the bronze, the silver, and the other continue to the finish line. This is a deep saying, as only the gold and the silver is able to withstand the fire. It speaks about the weak, and the fragile. Hadn't the Lord told us to be very stronge, and courageous.
The gold is the vessel unto honor, it is solid, and purified with fire, a vessel unto honor. We all run in the race, and the weak and others, will make it to the finish line. The scripture says, don't faint. Endure perservere, and don't give up, every step is one closer to the win, and it pushes the others to encouragement. Blessed be the name of the LOrd. amen

Jesus said it right when he said, "It is better to give than to recieve".
He wasn't talking about money. We as humans are priceless, and very much able and created to give much.
He preached to those who followed him, the others just mocked him. I believe he knew that when we have the Love of God with in us, there is much to give, and money will not buy it. Though if you feel to do your part this way and have the means, so be it.
People who are hurting, seem to look unto others for the deep wounds to be healed by other people, and finding out quickly that they just got hurt again, and bailed.
To give, is better than to recieve something. It is the sowing and reaping process, that Jesus Christ did not lie about. It comes back to you. Sow love, and it comes back to you.
When you don't give, and are in need, empty, this is the time to meet the Lord, and get all the answers that one is looking for to receive.
When we are full to overflowing, it either will just flow out on others, or there is so much we want to share God's love with another.
When the oil was anointed I think it was David, it ran down his beard, and the saying was how good is the fellowship of the unity of the brethren.
Fear isolates, and so does condemnation.
Two hindrances that will stop the fervent love of the Lord to go to him, and to go to others, as we are of one body in him, don't cut yourself off.

And in context. better to give than receive, what did, does God the Father give through the Son?
LIFE in what? Spirit or flesh
John 10:10
The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.

Today is Sunday, the captian of the ship is steering me in a different way, I've been a little harsh in my threads, and apologize for it, want to be more sweeter, like honey, and more gentle, and more patient, WOW, learning all this here, and quess what, listening in to Bible Study learned something even more. YOu know it dosn't matter the condition of the flesh, there is so much love coming from the heart, and one day God will change us in a twinkling of an eye. Praise him, 24/7.

Matthew 16:21) From that time forth began Jesus to shew unto his disciples, how that he must go unto Jerusalem, and suffer many things of the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised again the third day.
22 .) Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke him, saying, Be it far from thee, Lord: this shall not be unto thee.
23 .) But he turned, and said unto Peter, Get thee behind me, Satan: thou art an offence unto me: for thou savourest not the things that be of God, but those that be of men.
24 .) Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.
25 .) For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.
26 .) For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?

Thanks, those verses are deep, chew thoroughly, I am,wanting to savor what Father wants, the same as Jesus, and it is willing to die for his sake, so be it, and if I stay alive in flesh it is his will, yet to be led by his Spirit as Christ was led this way all the time, learning as I go here in this world that I do not belong to anymore by Faith in C hrist's finished work for the whole world to live a new life here and now in the Spirit of Father

Luke 21:1) And he looked up, and saw the rich men casting their gifts into the treasury. 2) And he saw also a certain poor widow casting in thither two mites. 3) And he said, Of a truth I say unto you, that this poor widow hath cast in more than they all: 4) For all these have of their abundance cast in unto the offerings of God: but she of her penury hath cast in all the living that she had.
