What about the spacific qualifications .. they do not seem to match up with what we call labourors today.. Ok..thanks..I do not "get it" as it just muddles in my brain... Thanks anyhow... I will keep asking and someday it will all make sense... Yes it will.. I do know we are to be a witness , that I understand...

This might seem like a strange question to you and if you think so do not bother with a response....ok... If you think you understand what I am asking then by all means let me know what you believe the Lord has shown you personally what it is the labourer "does" and who it "is".. Mat 9:35 And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. Mat 9:36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. Mat 9:37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; Mat 9:38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest. Some have taught that the labourers are teachers only.. who are these labourers and what exactly is their work... I have read this and know it in my head and so I think God is saying to send out missionaries or preachers or folks like Dr. Dobson..... And I do pray for God to send folks with a true understanding of salvation to people who have not heard and/or do not know Him.. That is about all I really have in my understanding about this.. We are all to be a witness of Him.. I have searched witness and know it is a reflection of the source.. We are to be a witness of God.. I do not think it is the same somehow, as a labourer... But I have always felt in my heart that I am missing what the Lord is really saying in this particular scripture.. Any one understand my question?

Proverbs 27:17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man sharpeneth the countenance of his friend. We need each other... That is my opinion of this great place of fellowshiop.. The only good thing to come out of Kiara being hurt.. (to my knowledge...)

As much as I would like a job I think I would let this one pass ... no for me... I don't know too much about golf..just that my husband and kids like it... I Had no idea golf balls were expensive..odd...

How in the world did they NOT know the gator was there to begin with??? You would think they would have see him.. Is a golf game that fascinating? And why do they not turn him loose into the everglades?? Glad the guy got away without to much damage..

This is probably not what you are looking for but it is the first thing that came to my mind... Joh 9:24 Then again called they the man that was blind, and said unto him, Give God the praise: we know that this man is a sinner. Joh 9:25 He answered and said, Whether he be a sinner or no, I know not: one thing I know, that, whereas I was blind, now I see. Joh 9:26 Then said they to him again, What did he to thee? how opened he thine eyes? Joh 9:27 He answered them, I have told you already, and ye did not hear: wherefore would ye hear it again? will ye also be his disciples?

You are the only one that can answer that ..is it?

I don't know how anyone can dislike this nice man.. Lord Bless him... He is sure going to need it as this job has got to be awesomely taxing on mind body and spirit...

Above the earth to see the full rainbow??interesting thought...

No, there is no scripture that says red means this and orange means that.. but we see black and we associate it with evil generally speaking.. we see white and we associate it with good generally speaking... just like all the other colors we have a tendency to associate them with something.. the paper I have on colors is just that .. What a Christian perspective of color association is.. Why the association I do not remember but if I find it I will let you know... Red is easy to associate because of the Redemptive Blood of Jesus..

Ronald..he already has an answer for that... silentprayer.. there is no scripture that tells women not to wear pants.. there are ones for modesty tho.. As been said before dresses can be immodest and so can pants.. We know in our hearts if we are born again and have grown any in the Lord that immodest clothing is inappropriate for a man or a woman outside church let alone inside of it.. Some things are just personal preferences and pants/dress is a personal preference.. I personally feel we should have enough respect for the Lord to come to church dressed in a way that would give Him respect..bring Him the best I have... No matter what that best is..just come... Like I have said before people who visit the white house have more respect than Christians do sometimes.. I just saw a thing on TV where you have to be dressed up to see the Queen.. Heels are required if you are a woman,or you may not come into her presence.. I see nothing wrong with that tradition....but it is not scriptural..unless you want to use .. "respect to who respect honor to whom honor" she asks for it ...you respect her wishes and do it..or you don't come.. Can we not dress with modesty and respect when we come into the house of worship.. that was what this thread was started about... Dress modestly,whether in pants or dresses,but we should do that in all the things we do.. we are the church..We are to be "Led by the Spirit"..yes? Dress, or pants, what spirit are you of? Why are you there? The issue of pants and women should not even be this thread..it is so off the original question. as has been mentions before also.. . http://www.worthyboards.com/index.php?s=&s...ndpost&p=548317 original question and the following answer to it from the original poster..

I am going to keep looking .. I know I have the meanings I just do not know where I have put them.. I guess everyone loves the rainbow.. I remember the first time I read the scripture about the rainbow surrounding the throne and I could just about picture it and it was just so cool a thought.. rainbows are round when complete..saw one from a plane once

Don't get sucked back into this.. NO NO NO NO NO NO NO Well, maybe one more time.. In some cultures of today they DO wear dresses only they are called robes.. and there are subtile differecnces between men and womens robes if my understanding is correct.. and from what I know of Scotland and my Scottish heritage Scots ain't no sissies... Oh No...it is people like me that keep this dumb thing going.... I know ...I know...been there said that but hasn't everything already been said over and over .. Kind of like a dog chasing its tail ,we are..

Red- Blood Orange- flesh Yellow- nature of God Green- life Blue- sonship violet- Priesthood I thought I had them written down in the back of my bible but they were not there.. I am pretty sure with all of them except the yellow.. I need to look a little longer to see if that is correct ... at least as far as I have been taught... I will keep searching my papers and see if I can find the list...

I am sorry this took so long but I really tried to give the best answer I could think of... But not knowing what you are really asking it is quite possibly not what you are looking for .... like the fear of small places??or being attacked?? an abusive situation? they can be totally dibilitating..but God is bigger than any fear that holds me captive.. It is an overcoming on my part ..and it takes time .. "Father, Father, I am terrified please help me.." that is what you pray when your mind is yours again... I have prayed that many times.. sometimes it takes a long time but freedom will come.. I must pursue it and I must want to be free from it.. One day I woke up and I was free.. I believe any Christian who calls upon Him will be met by Him in His way and His time.. persevere... and sometimes I need someone to help me with my battle ...we need each other... If I cannot overcome I will ask for help.. We all have our problems and there is no shame in that..no shame at all... it would just be a shame if we did not get the help we need.. Yes...well kinda..He will take me out of the fearful circumstance (yes yes yes...that would be nice..) or give me what I need to stand in it.. Daniel in the Lions den was kind of on the spot... If I am not strong enough to stand and I fail and remain fearful God is big enough to forgive that little failure.. God is just teaching me to walk in the Spirit... We get up and try again.. It is not in failing we actually "fail" it is in not being willing to get up and fight again for other freedom we want.. To know to do good and to do it not, that is sin.. trying to do good and failing short of what I tried to do is not sin.. it is just a part of growing up.. We are told to "fear not"... I deduct from this that God does not want me to be afraid and when I am ... then I am not trusting Him.. and Yes the fear of the Lord is different but I do not know how to tell you the difference.. "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom".. it is a learned thing..fearing Him... so is fearing a small place..that is a learned thing.. We are disobedient because we do not fully comprehend His authority in our lives.. we do not fear Him... I have not done a study of fear that I can remember.. I only understand what my years have taught me and lots of church attendance to learn of Him.. This is hard to try to relate to you... I do not like the way I feel when I am afraid.. my heart races, my face turns red, my breathing is fast, my emotions are out of control, and I just do not like it... that is what happens to me when I am afraid when a situation arises to frighten me... But I can overcome it... I can choose not to let fear have the upper hand.... When God shows up when I have sinned and says "What are you doing?" that fear is very very different.. I fall on my face and just about loose my breath all together..very different.. I want more of that kind of fear because it keeps me right with Him... and Love is very mixed in there but that is another thing I cannot explain.. If fear were a part of ME God would not tell me "not to fear".. it is something I do..it is an act ... When fear rises up in me I fight it as I do not want it.. You know..that is a good question and to tell you the truth for me that answer is yes.. I have had experiences where on the "outside of me" I was showing fear and experiencing fear...but in my spirit I was at peace and calm and Hon there is just no way I can explain that... Have you not had the same experience?? The Peace begins in the heart and begins to permeate the rest of me calming me from my fears... when peace has then filled me then I am then calm on the outside too.. but I find I must co-operate with that peace that is inside me give it the place in my and not allow the fear to stay... I have actually squelched the rising of peace in me and that was a very foolish thing for me to do..I am sooo glad God is patient with us.. we seldom fear God ...our fears are nearly always about other issues.. But it is always the Spirit of the Lord in me that helps me to overcome the fear that is about those other issues.. are they different kinds of fear???I do not know..they all look the same to me... I see the two I mentioned above.. I only see trusting God or not trusting God.. fearing or not fearing.... whatever the fear is..I cannot think of anything that is outside of that definition.. If you know something let me know what it is.. If You mean concerned you may be in danger from someone ..... or something like a Storm take shelter... If in danger from some one or something flee ....flee quickly... but that is not the same as the battle with fear... If I am concerned someone will hurt me then wisdom says go somewhere safe... do not pass go- do not collect 200 hundred dollars- go straight to safety... But when you flee ask God to keep your heart from the spirit of fear because fear will cloud your mind and you cannot think clearly...fear is debilitating.. call up from within you the peace that you have in Jesus... Jam 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him. O C..I pray the Lord will show you just the right word you need to find what you are seeking... I do not know what particular "fear" you are trying to figure out but I do hope you will quickly find the answer..

Beutero...I cannot understand your thinking.. I stated how I felt and I cannot say more .. that is it.. I am speaking about those who are believers and those who are seeking to know him getting along.. we need to and that is all...

fear is a spirit from what I understand in scripture..not just an emotion.. "God has not given us a spirit of fear".. something happens to me and I am instantly terrified by what is going on.. fear has captured me... I can overcome it by the Holy Spirit in me.. He will make an escape from the grasp of fear on my heart by either taking me out of the circumstance (which would be really nice)... or He will give me an "escape' from its grasp by causing me to rise above the fear it in my spirit.. I can only express my personal experiences with the Lord to you ... I look at the world situation and can easily be tempted to fear for our well being if it were not for the Lord reminding me that "all these things must come to be".. His word is my way of escaping the grasp of fear... God by His Spirit in me keeps me from being overcome by fear.. I am locked in a small place as a child and am afraid of small places as an adult.. fear may have become so much a part of me that I have a very had time separating it from me but by the power of the Holy Spirit in me I can do it... God can help me overcome my fear by His Spirit...no matter what the fear.. I have a child who have a massive tumor in his head..my first temptation is to fear.. This is my child...But God does not take away the mass but He gives me the power to rise above the fear for my child and trust Him.. Isn't that what fear really is..not being able to trust God with the outcome? A super storm comes sweeping down over the plains or wherever and our nation has experienced many tornado's.. my reaction is to be tempted to fear.. but God is always there to remind me that "if I perish I perish" .. Absent from the body present with God... we struggle with fear all the time but I believe God will always make a way of escaping the grasp of the enemy... Fear the Lord above all else... Mat 10:27 What I tell you in darkness, that speak ye in light: and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye upon the housetops. Mat 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell. I do not know if you are struggling with a particular fear or not but I do know God is well able to find you a way of escape from its grasp .... my 2

Yes, and all the scriptures that came to mind have been posted except this one .. if the battle is a temptation to fear God will give you the power to overcome it... 1Co 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.

giaour..have you ever been in a serous struggle for self worth? Sometime the heart really needs confirmation from someone.. I have been there... thanks for that post Candi

I wish I could hug you but the little emot will have to do... You are loved cutie.. If your friends are saying things to make themselves look better then forgive them but do not get caught up in their foolishness... If you are a Christian you can forgive them and you can rise above the call of the human nature to want to be better than the next person... human nature wants to rise up in me and make me "top dog".. I look better than you do.. I talk better than you do.. I am smarter than you.. If this is what is happening sweetie do NOT buy into it.. No one can MAKE you feel bad about yourself.. they can say things to hurt you but you do not have to accept it... Do not accept that you are less than acceptable to God or to your brothers and sisters in Christ.. Ayin Jade gave you some solid advice hon... so did the others..

Tess, I hear your heart and I understand it.. I understand you needing to get it off your chest... But this has become so big and so bad that I do not see any kind of resolution .. Do You, really? Pandora's box..is any one familiar with that story? It is all so heartbreaking and there are so many more issues that are heartbreaking that I see absolutely no resolution for.. Most of the time I do not even know how to pray only that .. "God help us all.." Hate is a strong word and don't kid yourselves.. there are folks out there with that emotion running rampant in their veins.. If we are reasonable Christians we know not to yield to that as it is so against the very nature of Christ to hate our fellow man... but we have many who have yet to learn that lesson .... Tess, all I know to do is pray and to not get caught up in the emotion of the issue.. I have my own personal experiences with the illegals and not all are good.. That does not make me hate them.. but I do believe something has got to be done .... again..all i know to pray is "God help us all.." and to pray it again and again...

I do not think we comprehend the seriousness of our relationship with Him.. we are busy with our lives and don't bother to seek Him in it all.. self centered instead of Christ centered in our ways.. I am asking the Lord to stir up my heart from this sleepyness and wake me up to what hour it really is... I think if I really comprehended the hour we are in I would be running not resting... Lord I sure do need to be awake...

butero..in post #4 you suggest putting everyone who thinks or dresses or feel differently into a different place... I honestly believe if we did that we would hinder the work of the Lord significantly as we need to learn to love each other and to respect each other.. The same way with children..we may separate them for a "time out" but children must learn to respect each others indivduality..above all Love read cor.13.... those are all the things we need to do for each other in Christ... A few years ago I was really struggling with a my attitude about folks and how hard it was to just get along with them.. I was put off by this persons attitude and that persons bad habit and that persons way of screaming when they preached or whatever.. We all have our personal likes and dislikes.. I know God was not happy with my attitude and I know the scripture about being at peace with all men.. I wanted to feel that way..I did not like being so nit picky about my likes and dislikes of people.. I do not know how anyone can be happy and feel that way all the time.. Anyhow..I was getting pretty depressed about it and actually loosing sleep and weight it was so bothersome to me.. Then a dear friend told me two things... One..the scripture says "If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men." Rom 12:18 It is there to remind me to draw on the Holy Spirit within me to do my best to be at peace with all men..my best is all that is required... If differences were not a common problem this scripture would not exist.. I can only do my best and so can everyone else.. Two.. 2Co 10:7 Do ye look on things after the outward appearance? If any man trust to himself that he is Christ's, let him of himself think this again, that, as he is Christ's, even so are we Christ's. The other thing was to look for the Lord in people..do not go by what you see on the outside.. We have no idea why they are the way they are nor do they know us.. Every Christian has something within them of the Lord and I may need to know what they know of Him... If I am willing to look I will probably find it.. I have to accept that others are going to be different from me.. Apple trees have apples and fig trees figs... both have good fruit only they are different.. I accept that and will look for the Lord within people and not at their "peelings"... A screaming preacher puts me off but I have learned that inside that screamer is Christ.. muddle through all that and find Christ... That is our common ground... someone believes you should wear this or that and I feel differently.. Find the Christ within each other... That is all that is going to remain anyhow.... everything else gets burned up as dross... We come to Him as children and we all need to grow up.. some of us grow at faster rates than others.. But we do all need to grow up.. I have only been here a short time but have learned from some of you as you have shared Christ on this board. I am growing up a little at a time... we can sincerely try not to squash each other but to nurture each other instead... I have done some squashing and I have done some nurturing... I much prefer the nurturing.. (my heart hurts me when I know I have hurt people..} I am so far from my goal in this and I pray always for the Lord to grow me up and change me to be more like Him...

I did NOT vote for the guy.... I do Not live in Georgia.. unreal ...no rational person would say that.. Well I do, just don't tell anyone....

I love how they do that.. somehow it just leaves a sense of reverence with you to see it...
