Press Forward

My father-inlaw died around 5 years ago with cancer. A righteous Godly man. Many people prayed for him daily. We prayed for supernatural healing. It was the suffering that concerned us...we didn't want him to suffer. From day one of the bad news he fought the battle with Jesus. He did everything humanely possible with doctors, chemo...the whole cancer scenerio. And at the end even with all the medicine...he was communicating with Jesus. There was no doubt in my mind Jesus was right there taking him home. It wasn't until my wife, his daughter, told him...that is alright Daddy...we will be alright...that he quit fighting and suffering...the hardest day we have ever experienced...but he fought the fight and was an overcomer...and it has made us overcomers...like my wife says..if I can make thru this...there isn't anything I cant overcome.. Our prayers were not answered as we expected...but they were answered...and we gained wisdom from a terrible situation.. I do believe Jesus wants us to be overcomers...what ever life drops in our laps...I have read about supernatural healings but I know it didn't happen for this righteous man... But we did learn that ......Love is sacrificing when your cup is already full... For us the supernatural came afterwards...thru the love of Jesus...we have all been able to talk and visit with him thru dreams...one dream my wife was even fishing with him...it has been very comforting...even though we miss him not on earth with us...we realize he really isn't that far away... I pray your friend..is comforted and does not suffer..in whatever she elects to do....May Jesus Bless you and her in this terrible situation and give her a supernatural healing...

8 But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars

Does anybody remember that movie?....this time at worthy boards a 9 year old child is on the stand for things that happened to him as a 4 year old..defending he went to heaven and visited Jesus....it seems like the rest of the cast is still in place. I picture the ending, With the Child standing firm in his faith saying I visited Heaven and saw Jesus and then Jesus will ride in on a Rainbow Horse and purple sash and say I'm out of my box and silence the slanderers. He picks up the child and rides to admire a sculpture a lady made for him. Anything is possible with Almighty God.

Finally we agree on something. I've been there and done that. My heart was a stone. Paul's heart was a stone. Pretty much all reborn christians start out with hearts of stone. And we all used arguements similiar to yours. Fault finding and negative towards anything that didn't line up with what we thought the bible said. Pretty much everything I thought or said...I was wrong...after I was reborn. To be truthful it is easy to find fault and be critical...in this world.....especially with the Holy Bible. It is kind of the easy way out. Try finding good or love in all people or situations, that is the real challenge and can be difficult but achieved. I was severely rebuked by Jesus Christ himself...for always focusing on the negative and finding faults even with my loved ones let alone strangers. Never again for this boy. I'm telling you whether you believe it or not...your heading down the wrong path and if you are like me...it will take a severe rebuking...which will either make your more bitter...or turn u to a path of love

14 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, 15 by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, 16 and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. 17 He came and preached peace to you who were far away and peace to those who were near. 18 For through him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. Jesus set you free...now some are critical of a beautiful scupture of God himself. When listening to the lady talk you can hear that love she has for Jesus. She didn't do this to bring glory to herself...she did because Jesus lead her to create it. It seems like a lot of sacrifice on her part...but she felt in her heart the need to please Jesus. And she did a magnificant job. And people find fault with this. I believe that is hardened hearts. Hardened hearts find fault and are critical of everything. Their purpose in life comes from finding negative in everything instead of focusing on the good in everything and everyone. One time I made something just for Jesus. Just between me and him. My wife didn't know I was working on it. After I finished my wife was hollaring at me...come and look ...come and look...I ran to the porch and I didn't know it rained and there was this beautiful rainbow placed perfectly over our pasture. Most of you naysayers would say coincidence...maybe...but when I saw it...the Holy Spirit came over me...and brought me to tears. It was a loving moment between Jesus and myself and nobody can ever take it away from me. I believe in the supernatural and all things are possible with God. So as much as folks want to be critical of everybody and thing, that is your choice. Just remember the following scripture about faultfinders and grumblers. Again if this is from Jesus, it seems all this negativity would be against him. Don't use the bible to justify faultfinding and grumbling. Why don't u see any love in this story? Without love it is all meaningless, fill your heart with God's love, Read God's word in love, handle everything in LOVE. Life and death are meaningless without it. God is LOVE.

Sounds like the 4 year old's journey to me. So God can reveal to us thru the Holy Spirit, what no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and even what no human mind has conceived...the things God has prepared for those who love him. Sounds like the four year old had a great love for Jesus. And Jesus came to him in a time of need. I believe some of Jesus's chosen are taken directly to Heaven...John the Baptist...according to Jesus ...there was no man greater than John the Baptist on earth...doesn't surprise me he is already in Heaven. Many of the invited will end up in spiritual places not necessily heaven (Hades, Sea, Death and whereever else Jesus decides to leave them). Until it is determined if there name is written in the Lambs Book of Life and hasn't been blotted out. Somebody was concerned that if we are like Jesus and Jesus didn't have wings we wouldn't have wings. Jesus can take many forms...remember the transfiguration...remember when the disiples didn't even recognize him...Mary didn't even recognize him ...Revelation he is described differently... Some really put limitations on Jesus...and the Spiritual Realms...The Bible is a love story...if a Child's journey involves pleasant things of love....and so many are critical of it and the Holy Spirit... Calling the Holy Spirit a liar and of Satan...your better off saying nothing at all... 15.Psalm 115:3 Our God is in heaven; he does whatever pleases him. 16.Psalm 135:6 The LORD does whatever pleases him, in the heavens and on the earth, in the seas and all their depths. 25.Daniel 4:35 All the peoples of the earth are regarded as nothing. He does as he pleases with the powers of heaven and the peoples of the earth. No one can hold back his hand or say to him: “What have you done?”

Straight from the enemies camp. Were you ever involved with satan or witchcraft? Some of your statements run parallel with how he speaks...God is limited...God is in a box.....even the 9 year old child knows those are untrue statements... I've said my piece...on the Child's experience... Start a new topic ...God in a Box....if it is something you want to share with the board...

Why do people put limitations on Jesus Christ. Jesus can bind up satan and let the child examine him anywhere at anytime in the universe. Don't you believe that? 18 He replied, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. 19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. 20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven.” 21 At that time Jesus, full of joy through the Holy Spirit, said, “I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. Yes, Father, for this is what you were pleased to do. For some reason people think Satan has access to heaven still. Jesus said I saw Satan fall like lightning. Satan has been cursed and thrown out of heaven, you don't have to be a bibical scholar to figure out satan is the god of this world. Just turn on the news. We must rise above it, always. It makes sense that he would always want to come back to heaven and raise havoc look what he does on earth...he is jealous, envious and everything total opposite of Jesus. The bible talks about angels carrying swords and not letting man have access to the tree of life. Jesus even told his disciples to carry a sword. There is enough scripture to back everything the Child described. If you believe he and his parents wrote the book to get money...and it was a hoax..that is your free will... I believe they did it with good intentions...and if they took the time and energy to share it with people they deserve some money..it is hard work to write a book.......especially with so many naysayers around....I pray they r blessed over and over for their courage and braveness....take the child to Disneyland and have a joyous time.... I am the Living One; I was dead, and now look, I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades. 14 Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity so that by his death he might break the power of him who holds the power of death—that is, the devil— 15 and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death. 22 “The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried. 23 In Hades Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.” Revelation 20:13 The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. I believe the resurrection of dead is a spiritual process that evolves around Jesus Christ. I believe there is tremendous activity in the spiritual realm. Jesus and his angels are assigning the dead to holding pens daily. I believe when you you die you will be placed in one of four or five places according to those scriptures in the Bible...until the final judgement when we find out if our name is in the Lamb's Book of Life..if not....at that point you will be cast into the Fiery Lake of Burning Sulfer...Jesus is in charge of everything...and has access to everywhere...if your one of his you will meet him in the clouds some day...it says the dead in Christ will rise first...i figure we will be coming out of a holding pens...somewhere in the spiritual realm...in earth.... on earth or in between earth..then the people in Jesus on earth will rise to the clouds...I believe there is a whole of testing thru final tribulation...for Jesus to see who really loves him and believes in him...not with their mouths...with their hearts... I don't have all the answers but I don't mind defending a Child's Journey with Jesus. What I've read on this board is false accusing if the child is speaking from his heart. Weird thing is that is exactly what they did to Jesus Christ...Almighty God...over 2000 years ago...so nothing mankind does surprises me...even if they call themselves christians...

Someone compares this to the Word, finds it wanting.... but you ... don't know the child, haven't read the book, but heard it briefly on TV, and yet feel confident enough to accuse others of blasphemy for not accepting this fantasy as a vision from God? I believe anything positive, encouraging, loving, and understanding can come from Almighty God thru Children, animals, and even some adults. ...none of the following offends me but all of it seems to offend you If I understand you right...no way that this came from Almighty God because it is not biblical. What I am asking then....if you are wrong....a big if....wouldn't you get a big sinking feeling in your spirit and belly and a tremendous wanting that will never happen.. when I watched the Child it brought a smile to my face and some joy to my heart because he was such a humble, innocent child and he spoke with confidence and sincerity. I see a Godly love written all over this journey the child experienced. You obviously think the kid is a lying little brat that is distorting the word of God and influenced by satan and his parents should correct him and prayed over deeply. And if anybody believes this nonsense...they don't know the word or Jesus and should repent for even considering this has any biblical truth... This confirms there is a good chance Jesus has a rainbow horse. Maybe in the child innocense the horse appeared to be rainbow because the horse was next to Jesus and his radiance...or maybe the horse was rainbow colored. Did this occur to any of the biblical scholars fault finding the child? The child never said he had the power to redeem us from our sins...he gave Jesus all the glory...and he boasted in Jesus. How you see satan in any of this is beyond me...when your looking for the blessed hope...sometimes you look right past the love of Jesus Christ in the people and animals and all his creation....if you want to lose favor with Jesus Christ real quick...become a fault finder, and accuser of brethren...because if you are one of his...and those are some of your attributes....you will be rebuked...until you understand...he came for the sinner...and all mankind and you better focus on the good in everybody...and everything...and let him be the only judge...of everything... and if this child had that kind of favor with Jesus Christ...to share with the world...you would be fighting against Almighty God...is it worth it...

Accusing people of blasphemy is not really adding anything to your case. It's actually a bullying tactic. Trying to instill unwarranted fear. You shouldn't do that. Isn't this an example of Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit or not? The child was wisked away to heaven by the Holy Spirit...he shares his experience...and people accuse him that it is not of God...so if it is not of God it has to be of satan...so if you accuse the Holy Spirit and portray this experience as demonic...r u not insulting the Holy Spirit and blasphemying the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. Personally I don't know the child or his family haven't read his book...heard him talk briefly on TV...I'm not going to be an accuser of brethen...and it appears to be Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit...if it happened...isn't that what the Bible says...I said I guess we will find out...I didn't say whether it was or not...just seems like a perfect example...calling something of God evil...if it happened..I would rather be save then sorry 24 Martha answered, “I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.” 25 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; 26 and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?” 27 “Yes, Lord,” she replied, “I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, who is to come into the world.” Jesus is the resurrection. Sounds like he is capable of rising from the dead, bringing back the dead, and visiting with a child whenever and wherever he wants. Do you not believe he is capable of miraculous events? This is quite appropriate being good Friday and all. He is alive and doing wonderful things. It is not good to be jealous and envious. Be thankful and grateful Almighty God has everything under control.

So openly curious just for the record...r u calling the child a liar, deciever and child of satan...and specifically what bothers u about his experience....when I read the posts I see jealousy and enviousness of a nine year old child...and it is sad that people cant get some joy and hope from this child's experience... some of u r offended because the child said everybody had wings... Jesus said at the resurrection we will be like angels...if we are like angels...what is wrong with having wings... Jesus said he is the God of the living...so y r u offended if the child saw his loved one... nothing in this Child's experience should offend anybody...it was a loving experience during a time of crisis

I went back and read what that Dr. Preacher said about the kid and his experience. Nothing the kid experienced bothers me and yes I have read and studied the Bible with Almighty Jesus. And trying to discredit a young child will fire up the Lord. And anybody that knows Jesus knows this. I've never read the kid's book but I did hear him talk about his experience on TV. When Jesus went thru his transformation with the disicples ....His face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as the light. Dipped in Blood is the time of wrath. When he takes back this world. Many seem to demonize this innocent child for his experience. I guess the child is in good company because they demonized Jesus too. But remember what Jesus said about his accusers. Blasphemy against the Holy Spirit is unforgiven. I hope everybody is confident in their relationship with Jesus because anybody calling this kid a liar and deceiver and demonizing him will have no chance for forgiveness if it came from the Holy Spirit. It is very simple... it is either God or satan...love or hate...I didn't see any hate in this revelation to this young child...I find it ironic that it is a Dr. writing the article and dogging the kid... And if it is from God...and people like bullying a young child...I guess we will find out if Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is true or not...because this is a perfect example of Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.....and the Bible is very clear it is unforgiven....that is y the Bible warns people over and over be careful what comes out of your mouth... your better off saying nothing and let it be...then joining in the bandwagon...

Jesus looked at them and said,

For some reason the following scripture seems to be ignored...by jews..and people standing with Israel This is Jesus Almighty God...talking to the Jews of Israel. Zechariah 11 The flock detested me, and I grew weary of them 9 and said, "I will not be your shepherd. Let the dying die, and the perishing perish. Let those who are left eat one another's flesh." 10 Then I took my staff called Favor and broke it, revoking the covenant I had made with all the nations. 11 It was revoked on that day, and so the afflicted of the flock who were watching me knew it was the word of the LORD. 12 I told them, "If you think it best, give me my pay; but if not, keep it." So they paid me thirty pieces of silver. 13 And the LORD said to me, "Throw it to the potter"-the handsome price at which they priced me! So I took the thirty pieces of silver and threw them into the house of the LORD to the potter. 14 Then I broke my second staff called Union, breaking the brotherhood between Judah and Israel. 15 Then the LORD said to me, "Take again the equipment of a foolish shepherd. 16 For I am going to raise up a shepherd over the land who will not care for the lost, or seek the young, or heal the injured, or feed the healthy, but will eat the meat of the choice sheep, tearing off their hoofs. 17 "Woe to the worthless shepherd, who deserts the flock! May the sword strike his arm and his right eye! May his arm be completely withered, his right eye totally blinded!" The Jewish Covenant is revoked. The Jews have one thing to look forward too. The foolish shepard who will denounce Jesus Christ and set up temples dedicated to satan. Start sacrificing again. All the things the jews want to hear. Back to bondage. After this you will see Jesus Christ, King o Kings. Lord of Lords. Destroying the foolish shephard (Anti Christ) and all his followers, including many jews.

I think too many people listened to their religious leaders (who had their own agenda's as Shilo states) instead of to the Word of the Lord. They heard the word read every week in the synagogues and should have known better from their own minds, but as too many do today, they listen to their preachers and priests and when they say things or do things against the word, they too often side with the human instead of the word of God. I think your right... And I do believe the church is following the same footsteps by listening to many corrupt leaders. History repeats itself. And as many miracles and supernatural activity that the jews had...we have no excuse because the Holy Word has been printed and distributed in every language, translated into versions third graders can understand. The fear and trembling of Jesus Christ...doesn't fit the present day picture of him... Look what he has allowed to happen to Israel the past 2000 years. That many people believe is the apple of his eye and chosen.

You believe once saved always saved. So I guess you believe the christians are in heaven. How about the jews that suffered these horrible acts? I believe what the bible says. Revelation 21:8 NIV

Thanks for the replys...and I understand what the Jews wanted....as far as their Messiah....and looking for the leader I'm talking about like in the temple..these are practicing Jews.....and John the Baptist dad comes out and can't talk because an Angel was upset with him and told him of his son being great and comng in the spirit of elijah...preparing the way for Almighty God... It just doesn't seem like much celebration...and much excitement... The jews should have been dancing in the streets..all of them across the nation....Jews prophesied about Jesus at this time...y wouldn't u believe your own prophesys...I mean if Angels are amongst you...wouldn't you know something big was on the horizon ...when Moses and Elijah are around and a loud voice says...this is my son...whom I love...believe what he tells you...I know only a couple were there...but that is fascinating...isn't it...that puts ghost hunters to shame.. and even if you had doubts...and watched him crucified...afterwards when the temple split...dead people walking around...I wonder what those dead saints said...had they been in Hell...or the ground... I would not have cared what my leaders were telling me...I would have said...I've seen and heard enough...I believe...that is enough evidence.. imagine this day and age...it would have been broadcast across the world...

Muslims believe there going to heaven..Jews believe their going to heaven?...Pretty much every religion thinks their going to heaven... I believe if they died in their sins...they perished...to eternal damnation...for the past 2000 years...millions of muslims and jews have perished to eternal damnation....WHAT TO YOU BELIEVE? How do you feel about Jesus Christ damning these souls? That is why Jesus said you must love me with all your heart, all you mind, all your soul, and all your strength.... and don't fear them that can take your life...but fear him that controls your eternal destination...eternal Life...eternal damnation... I knew I wouldn't get a straight answer...some of you don't even believe in hell......the Cross is foolishness to the nation of Israel but you believe Jesus has his protective hand over Israel... when God came on earth in the form of Jesus Christ...he came for one purpose to save mankind from his wrath...all mankind...muslim, jew, everybody.... How do you explain all the souls in eternal damnation...being chosen of Almighty Jesus....There just seems something weird to this...You believe Jesus loves Israel...and Israel is his chosen nation....and has always been has chosen nation and people but millions upon millions of these chosen people have been cast to eternal damnation...How does one explain that? how many million jews and muslims have died in the last 2000 years...that is a long time and a lot of souls... ..

Are you bearing fruit?

If you talk about the curse on the non believing jewish people...your labeled a jew hater....but my question still never gets answered....Why didn't the Jews believe the Jews? If he would have been a Gentile..it is easy to understand their hate for him...but he was a jew.. Miracle after Miracle, Angels visiting Jews and telling them Jesus was here and on the way...much supernatural activity...Angels showing up for the resurrection... Then to really slap them in the face...Jesus Supernatural raises up Paul a Jew...a christian hater and murderer...and he is a follower of Jesus Christ.... It really is hard to understand ...don't jews trust jews... I mean Mary was a jew...a blessed highly favored woman of God...I mean reading it in the Holy Word......you can't help to wonder...what were they thinking? What would have it taken to get them to believe in Jesus? They asked for signs and he did miracle after miracle...They put soldiers at the tomb and he still rose...he attended funerals and he brought people back to life...I know the bible says they were envious of Jesus..but why...he was one of them..a jew..why were't they proud of him?

you just keep talking to that straw man... The christian faith started with the jews. Sorry if that bothers you I am not bothered at all by the fact that Jesus was born and Jew and died a Jew nor am I bothered that salvation was given to the Jew first. But that does not change the reality the some cannot let go of the shadows of Judaism after repeated warning by the writers of the NT. What appears to bother you is the Lord took the kingdom away from the nation of Israel because of her unbelief

I don't need your snide remarks.... I type what I know and I let it go...you don't have to believe...just leave... I'm not debating the word of Jesus. Somebody asked what it was...I told them. This is a board. If you don't believe it....so be it...move on Good thing about freewill...you don't have to believe anything...or you can believe what makes you feel good....or you can believe what makes you feel bad....or you can believe what satan tells you or what Jesus tells you... that is the reason Jesus the author of Life gave us a brain..choices/you are tested everyday with choices....and he gave us the Holy Word that can be absorbed with about 3rd grade education...When Jesus says woe to the man that betrays him...take heed......Judas' heart was filled with darkness...he could have prayed till he was blue in the face and asked forgiveness...Jesus knew his heart and he knew he was a liar... nobody is fooling Jesus Christ... I type on this board if I have extra time...and something that I read bothers me...and Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit is a serious subject and not to be taken lightly... And if somebody has doubts about Jesus and his way and his truth....I want them to do some heavy duty soul searching before they betray/denounce him. Your basically telling saved individuals there is no problem going to the enemies camp...experiment and make sure Jesus is the best way...your always welcomed back by Jesus...your saved ....nothing you can do will separate his love for ya...by the way the enemy (satan) appreciates this theory...and he has been kicked out from Heaven...learn from satan this simple lesson...betrayal is unforgivable ... ...I'm saying no matter what you do...don't betray the only one that can love and protect you...Jesus Christ.. You may get mad, angered, upset with Jesus and this world. Jesus understands our struggles and will forgive....just don't betray him... If that is bad advice...again..... so be it
