And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, 'Lord, lay not this sin to their charge'. And when he had said this, he fell asleep." Such nobility and character. It's hard to forgive people who simply look at us the wrong way. Meanwhile Stephen begs the Lord in sincerity, to forgive those who were stoning him without a cause. Then Jesus takes his spirit from his body, to relieve him from the pain of stoning. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the saying pleased the whole multitude: and they chose Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a proselyte of Antioch: (Act 6:5) And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great wonders and miracles among the people. (Act 6:8) And all that sat in the council, looking stedfastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face of an angel. (Act 6:15) FOR IN CHRIST JESUS all things are possible for he or she who believes. And I can do ALL things THROUGH CHRIST who STENGTHENS ME . With man this is impossible But not with the HOLY GHOST . obey the SPIRIT . Onward in the Lord. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"All things" does not mean anything you want, but His will in our lives. People have to remember to read all of scripture in order to fully understand this one verse. There will be times when we believe our request will be answered only to discover that God has a better plan. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This verse gets misrepresented along with this other one as well Psalm 37:4 "Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart." Christians I know will say that we will get whatever we want but the opposite is true. If we take delight in the Lord then He will plant he desire in our heart that He wants us to have. Not so that we can get what we want but that we will want what He wants and then He will use it in a great way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
