We
do not know anyone else's heart or mind, their thought process -
actually many people do not even know their own because they are taken
to look outside their own selves and in this way people can be so easily
influenced in all aspects of their life too.
So regarding faith,
there are people who assume and yet they might even be wrong. Does
anyone really need to justify themselves to you or to me, when God is
our Judge. Those who have no regard for God easily go against him and we
see in even official positions, by oath takers, people who have no
regard for the peopel or for God - we are put in this position to expose
their acts not to be timid and allow evil to escalte especially in the
Western world - yes the antichrist is foretold. All this is foretold.
Even now there are people still debating that which does not bring us
closer to God and the comparing of translation of scriptures, when Allah
in Arabic refers to God - The Lord God Almighty and God the Father are
clearly identified to the West for a reason. God wants to be
approachable and His way was shown long ago.
Sometimes to refer
to the translated scriptures can bring to light mportant truths to know
today. So many peiople argue about God with mortal thinking, when they
have not even got a personal relationship with God and even ministers of
religion are doubtful too. The moment you place yourself as being
knowing when this is not so, is the moment you invite to be tested by
God in this role too. Even people who say they are prophets of God might
not be. If you are a prophet called by God your message will be for all
people even the rulers in this world - whether they like it or not
A prophet implies prophesy and yet this is not something that can be
claimed as the scriptures already contain the prophesy. What is the
reason of historical prophets and messengers is often ignored.
Why was David so significant and even referred to today. How is it that
in history people reverrred and feared God where they do not today? King
David of the United Kingdom of Israel was the 7th born son and not an
assumed successor. Also if we begin to read we begin to understand a
pattern as Jesus asks us to Trust God too.
Saying we Trust God is
not the same as really trusting God and even in this we are tested and
strengthened. As prayer is very personal communication to God, sometimes
prayers are written. Sometimes experiences and personal process is
written too. We have these to refer to also
This is what is written in the scriptures
1Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.
2I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14“Because he loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.” (Psalm 91)
Peace be with you
