I just got done watching this entire movie on youtube and found it very entertaining with alot of symbolism. I recommend seeing if you havn't already.

I agree with alot of comments made here, and I believe she didnt even know what a lie was. And even knowing what a lie is, its easy to be deceived if your trusting.

There are several scripture that mean alot to me, I'll list a few James 1:19 My dear brothers please take note of this, be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry. Mat 7:7 Do not judge others or you to will be judged. John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, and whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. Luke 12:15 Then he said to them " Watch out! beon your guard against all kinds of greed. A mans life does not consist of his possessions. Scripture is a wonderful thing to memorize and will comfort you in times of trouble.

God uses different people in different ways and I believe he used this man whom you speak of to help lead you to Christ. Its unfortunate he fell victim to sin, but its important you keep your focus on Christ, and please pray for the man whom you write of. And you ask how can you move past this, look into your heart and forgive.

nice analogy.

What a beautiful park. Thanks for sharing the vid. Hopefully the scientist and geologist are right about it exploding.

The Bible is a living word and when we read it we protect ourselves from the evil forces around us. Not just reading it but knowing and believing it in our heart will dispell the negative forces that want to bring us down. Here is a prayer written by a man named Chet Leone. I thank you Father, in the name of Jesus, for your armor. I thank you for the belt of truth(Eph 6:14), and I gird myself with your truth that.. Greater is he who is in me than who is in the world(1 Jn 4:4). And I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me (Phil 4:13), because the Lord is the strength of my life (Ps 27:1), and in Him who is the source of my strength, I have strength for everything(Phil 4:13) For he gives strength to the faint and for the weak he makes vigor abound. Though young men faint and grow weary, and youth stagger and fall, they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength. They shall mount up with eagles wings. They shall run and not grow weary, walk and not faint (Isa 40: 29-31).God is my refuge and strength. A very present help in trouble. Therefore, I will not fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea(Ps 46:1-2); for God has not given me a spirit of fear, but of power and love and of a sound mind(2Tim 1:7). And in the name of Jesus I bind the spirit of fear:I loose myself from it, and cast it from me. And I ask you to loose upon me Lord, your spirit of power and of love and of a sound mind. Therefore, I am anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication and with thanksgiving, I let my request be made known unto God; and the peace of God which passes all understanding guards my heart and mind through Christ Jesus(Phil 4:6-7) For Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee, O Lord; I say, Thou art my God. My times are in thy hand (Ps 31:14-15). My family is in you hand. My work, my affairs,my finanaces, my business and my ministry are in your hand.For my God shall supply all my needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. And God is able to make all grace abound toward me , that I always, having all sufficiency in all things, may abound to every good work(2 Cor:9-8). In the name of Jesus, I bind all lack of want from my finanaces. I loose my finances and cast all lack and want from them in Jesus name. My health is your hand; for by His stripes I am healed (Isa 53:5). Send forth your word and heal me and deliver me from my destructions (Ps 107:20).I ask you Fathe, in the name of Jesus to deliver me from (name of condition), and from all sickness, disease, injury and premature death. I thank you Father, for the breastplate of righteousness(Eph 6:14). For God made Him who knew not sin, to be sin, that I mightbecome the righteousness of God in Him (2 Cor 5:21). Satan has no place in me, no power over me... I am the righteousness of God, in Christ. I thank you Father, for the footgear of the gospel of peace (Eph 6:15)... the "good news" that justified by fait, I have peace with God through Christ (Rom 5:1). I am a friend of God's (Jn 15:15). God is for me; and if God be for me, who can be against me? (Rom 8:31). Annoint me Lord, to stand in this "good news", to walk in it and to take it to others that they too may have peace with God through Christ. Thank you Father , for the shield of faith, whereby I quench all the fiery darts of the evil one (Eph 6:16), because I trust the Lord with all my heart and lean not to my own understanding. In all way, I acknowledge Him, and He directs my path(Prov 3:5-6). For as I would come to God, I believe that he is, and is my rewarder as I dilligently seek him(Heb 11:6) Thank you Father, for the helmet of salvation (Eph 6:17). I confess with my mouth that Jesus is my Lord, and I believe in my heart that God raised Him from the dead, and that I am saved.For with my heart I believe and am justified, and with my mouth I confess and am saved (Rom 10:9-10). And I thank you for so great a salvation(Heb 2:3) through which I have eternal life (Jn 3:15-16), and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever(Ps 23:6), And through this salvation I also have abundant life (Jn 10:10) which includes healing (Isa 53:5), health (3 Jn 2) and wholeness of body, soul and spirit (1 Thes 5:23). I thank you Father, for all that I have, all that I am and all that I hope to be, in and through the Lord Jesus Christ, in whom I live and move and have my being (Act 17:28) Praise His holy name. Thank you Father, for the sword of the spirit, the word of God (Eph 6:17), and with that word I resist you Satan and command you to flee from me(Jas 4:7) as I confess what the word of God says the blood of Jesus Christ does for me.I overcome you by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of my testimony(Rev12:11), because through the blood of Jesus, I am deliveredout of the hand of the devil (Ps 107:2). Through the blood of Jesus , all my sins are forgiven (Eph 1:7). The blood of Jesus Christ, God's son continually cleanses me from all sin (1 Jn 1:7). Through the blood of Jesus, I am justified , made righteous, just as if I never sinned (Rom 5:9). Through the blood of Jesus, I am sanctified, made holy, set apart to God (Heb 13:12). My Body is a templeof the Holy Spirit, redeemed, cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ. For I am not my own, but am bought at a price. And I glorify God in my body and in my spirit, which are God's. Satan has no place in me, and no power over me through the blood of Jesus according to the word of God. In the name of Jesus, I bindall evil principalities and powers, rulers in the world of darkness and evil spiritsin the regions above (Mat 18:18, Eph 6:12),on the earth, above the earth and below the earth (Phil 2:10). In the name of Jesus, Ibind you from my body, from my soul and from my spirit. In the name of Jesus, I bind you from my work, my affairs, my business and my ministries. In the name of Jesus, I bind you from my time, my finances,my family and all our possessions. In the name of Jesus, I bind you from (name all family members). In the name of Jesu, I bind you from their bodies , their souls and their spirits; and from all their affairs and activities. Father I ask you, in the name of Jesus, to put a hedge of protection (Job 1:10), a shield of safty (Ps 3:3) and a wall of fire around me and ( name family members) (Zech 2:5) that Satan and his demons cannot penetrate from without but can only pass through as they are cast out from within. And I ask you Father, to send your mighty angels to minister unto and for us as heirs of salvation(Heb 1:14), in Jesus name Amen. This is one of my favorite prayers and I just wanted to share it in this study since it was on the armour of God.

nice job Joe

I have a schedule which allows me to read the bible in one year. It comes out to 4 chapters a day, in one year you read the entire bible and the gospels twice. I have noticed the spiritual reinforcement in my life since I have started with this plan.

Interesting

My friend had told me of this book 3 yrs ago and I got a copy and like alot of books we buy with the intent of reading it got set to the side.Years passed and finally I picked it up and wanted to see what it was about. Wel lI have been reading this book for 22 days. It's very insightful and helps me spiritually. For the past 22 days I have been journaling the key points, the areas that stood out to me. I'll copy what I have for day 9. ~The smile of God is the goal of your life. ~The Bible says "Figure out what will please Christ and then do it ~God smiles when we love him supremely ~Our creator wants to fellowship with us. God made you to love you, and he longs for you to love him back. ~" Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment." ~God smiles when we trust him completly. ~Trusting God completely means having faith that he knows what is best for your life. ~The Bible says "He takes pleasure in those that honor him in those who trust in his constant love." ~It took Noah 120 years to build the ark.Yet Noah kept on trusting God. ~Trusting is an act of worship ~The Bible says "Without faith it is impossible to please God" ~God smiles when we obey him wholeheartedly. ~Instant obedience will teach you moreabout God than a lifetime of Bible discussions. ~Obedience unlocks understanding. ~Partial obedience is disobedience. ~Wholehearted obedience is done joyfully. With enthusiam. The Bible says "Obey him gladly" ~Jesus said "If you love me, you will obey my commandments" ~God smiles when we praise and thank him continually. ~We are told to offer to God "The sacrifice of praise" and "the sacrifice of Thanksgiving" ~When we give God enjoyment, our own hearts are filled with joy. ~Psalms says "The righteous are glad and rejoice in his presence; they are happy andshout for joy" ~The Bible tells us " The steps of the godly are directed by the Lord. he delights in every detail of their lives. ~Bible says, "God .. generously give us everything for our own enjoyment" ~God loves and enjoys you at every stage of your spiritual development. These are not my own words but direct quotes from the book. I think this days point to remember corresponds with James 4:8 "Draw near to God and he will draw near to you."
