About six months ago I was being trained by God to trust him no matter the circumstance and I wanted to know exactly how much i would trust him and I saw this very encouraging vision. I was in a vast desert the sun was blazing I was sweating and was very hungry thirsty and tired I was literallycrawing in the sand. After crawling for a while the devil appeared and said you look hungry, Here i have brought you some bread eat and regain your strength. I replied no! Any food you have to offer me is unclean and will make me sick. I will put my trust in the Lord to feed me. He left and I Continued crawling After a while I was bone dry thirsty and satan again appeared and said you are very thirsty here I have brought you water drink and be refreshed. I replied no! That water is tainted and poisionous I will trust in God to give me water. he dissapeared and I kept crawling. after another while I was at my very limit I was going to die in the desert Satan appeared once more saying Fool you put your trust in God and yet he is letting you die If you wish to live worship me and call me your God. With the last of my strength I replied NEVER I trust and love My God and always will even if I am to die in this desert I want his will to be done above all not my own.Begon satan you have lost. He went away for good and angels came and nourished me

You had an encounter with Jesus, Thats amazing:] I have always wanted to just sit at his feet while he teaches me things no man or person on earth could teach me. I have met him once and he is very sweet and kind and has a beautiful laugh and the fathers laugh is also amazing

The key is to know when the opportunity is presenting itself. This can be an everyday experience, depending on how the Holy Spirit is moving. I have not done street witnessing in over 30 years, but always look for an opening where someone shows they are seeking a better way for their life.

Strictly speaking there are no real heirs to Palestine as Palestine is just the contrived name for Israel. But if by Palestine you mean Gaza and the West Bank then these territories belong to Israel too.

The choice I would like to see is "When the opportunity presents itself." To choose otherwise would not be a truthful statement for me. God brings opportunities to us when the time is right and He knows the person needs to hear the truth. This is often done after someone has had the time to watch a person and notice something different about them. Not every instance needs to be us seeking the lost.

Ok so before you were saved God appointed you to lie in a coma for a year and then die of cancer? And God is pulling your strings like you are a puppet? Was He doing this before you were saved, or only after? I said I know what my comment means. The way a person dies was determined before they were formed in the womb. Everything was decided before I was formed by God in the womb, and that includes my decision to get saved. It was determined back in the eons of time that you would ask me these questions, and I would give you the answer I am giving you. You can ask me follow up questions, but you will get a similar answer. Ok let me ask you then, can you hasten your death if God has it under His control? Why bother with a healthy diet? Why bother to exercise? Why bother to pray for healing? Why bother to pray at all if it will not make an iota of difference to your fate? If I have been waiting eons for the answers will it take you eons to reply to them?

They are known, not predestined. because that means that the cancer epidemic in the USA and other countries was planned by God.

Yes,Joshua heaven is going to be beyond our wildest dreams.We just can not imagine in our human minds what it will truly be like.I am sure there will be many,many surprises.When Jesus said "I go to make a place for you" or there are many mansions in heaven their are alot of opinions on that as well.We don't know and we will not until we get there.I have thought about heaven alot.Some of the sounds,colors,tastes and smells we have never experienced before.Our bodies will be resurrected bodies.Able to get from one place to another in lightning speed.Able to explore the universe.The fact that we will govern the nation with Christ.It gives us hope and a thanksgiving that we are Christians and that Jesus died on the cross for us so that we can live with Him for an eternity.An eternity never ends.When you think of how long that is it boggles the mind.

The first step in any battle vs any sin is to trust Christ as Savior and be born again. Next: "And this, knowing the season, that already it is time for you to awake out of sleep: for now is salvation nearer to us than when we first believed. The night is far spent, and the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light. Let us walk becomingly, as in the day; not in revelling and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof. " "Walk by the Spirit and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh." " And Peter went down from the boat and walked upon the waters to come to Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried out, saying, Lord, save me. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand and took hold of him, and says to him, O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" What do you think? Does victory over sin come by concentrating on the sin, gritting the teeth, and chanting, "I won't, I won't, I won't"? Or does it come by fixing the eyes on the Lord Jesus?

Wellts fine if one does not pay that much attention to dreams but if you saw what i saw you might change your mind. God speaks to us through dreams like joseph or the the pharohs in the old testament and they were not exactly clear or easy to understand but this one was quite clear to me

it could very easily be my future yes because this is the path i chose. it wont just be me though God is creating a new race of Christian for this very scenerio. ppl so deeply and richly filled with his love and all he is on a level this world has never seen before. the kind of love and faith i seek is a kind where i would be more than willing to suffer in the fires hell for the salvation of just one person. i seek a dangerous level of love and faith because i just might have to suffer greatly for both his sake and theirs. But however severe the pain is the love will be that much stronger

A group of JFJ came to our church several times in the 70s, including Moishe Rosen. I so enjoyed their sense of humor and for some time ordered and distributed their tracts. However, I learned that not everybody understands their ethnic humor and not many responded well to the tracts. Their witness in San Francisco was a bright light in a very dark place.

Psalm 139:16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written,The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. Yes,God knows exactly when,where and how we will die.A person who commits suicide causes his own death so that person would have lived longer if he/she would not have taken their own life.We can also have an impact on our time of death.For example a person who smokes,drinks heavily or takes drugs can have an impact on their death.

I do think there is a set time we die but only God knows this time, we need to be ready for this time because of us not knowing it.

Lots of good feedback, I just saw on my FB newsfeed that in addition to MacArthur, John Piper and several others are now denouncing the film. A few thoughts, the boy didn't say that everyone had wings, only that SOME angels did. It also was not a NDE, because none of his vital signs ever stopped. Paul and John both had experiences of heaven that were also NOT NDEs. I think some of the arguments from some of the ministries attacking this boy's account are silly at best. For example: 1. Some claim that it cannot be real because a person CANNOT experience heaven before death: really?, would it be too hard for God to do that if he wanted? 2. Another ministry attacked the film because it showed animals in heaven and they claimed that there were NO animals in heaven: that's just ignorant, the Bible clearly says that Jesus has a horse in heaven, as do the rest of the armies of heaven. 3. Another ministry attacked the film because it showed people awake and aware in heaven, they claimed that people are still asleep: soul sleep is a serious misunderstanding of what the Bible teaches. 4. Still another ministry denounced it as heresy because the boy's sister in heaven still had no given name: If Jesus wants to wait and allow the mother and father to name her, He can do so if He wants to. 5. Another denounced it as false because the Bible says it is given to men to only die ONCE: While it is generally true that people only die once, God can override general rules if He wants. There are countless examples in the Bible were God overrides general rules. God is NOT limited by general guidelines. 6. Another claimed that the boy and his family were in on the deception only for the MONEY On a side thought, Lazarus died under the Old Covenant, prior to the resurrection. That's real different, but probably another thread. I find it sad that so many of the "book-learned" need to attack something simply because it is a more dramatic experience than they have ever had.
