Yes God had them start in their own country. Jews and gentiles were not together. One thought they were better than the other. God had to renew their minds as he does for us each day.

Yes indeed. God sees the bigger picture. Predjusties still around all over. God is working out his purposes in all of us. Thank you Jesus

Yes we need discernment to hear from the Holy spirit. Our thoughts can over power us. But if we are in close fellowship with Jesus through his word and prayer we can receive. There are angels out there that God sends to. We never know when we are entertaining one.

Q3.The root of Simon Magus’s sin is pride. We are told in v9. “ He boasted that he was someone great”. This is pride, and it is sin. He then follows Philip and watches him, and decides that he wants to buy the ability of being able to fill people with the Holy Spirit. This shows that he has no understanding of God and the ways of God. His is trying to further his own reputation by being able to perform another ‘trick’.
Using money to buy anything to do with God is deeply offensive because it shows a complete lack of understanding of God and His ways. Everything God gives us is free, it has been bought at great cost, Jesus has paid the price for all our sins. All He asks is true and humble repentance for our sins , no money or shoddy acts. Nothing we have could pay the price, because we are all sinners. Only Jesus was worthy.
Unfortunately in some churches money is being paid for prayers, and services.Amen pride is the downfall in Jesus eyes. We need to stay humble as Jesus set us the example.

Yes I agree the miracles and signs and wonders definitely drew many to believe. But God does things differently each time. We just need to sow the seed and let Holy spirit complete the work. Praise God for his grace and mercy to us all.

Yes our human nature definitely sway to stubbornness. Yes as followers of Christ we must face persecution. But we need to look upwards to see us raised up above the natural, as Stephen did. That was the glory of God shining on his face.

Yes indeed. Jesus said food for the body is necessary but food the soul even more. So we are not to concentrate on the food, rather getting the word out there. Jesus tells us not worry as he provides the needs even of the birds of the air. Focus on heavenly things far more important. One day at a time sweet Jesus. Bless ye Yvonne

Yes I believe we need to be topped up daily asking for more of the Holy spirit. We surely will get extra when we are called to service in different circumstances. More time spent in Word and praise more in line with the extra powers given to each of us. Bless all Yvonne

TInitial sin was lying. It applies to God who knows all and sees all. Nothing hid from him. We are the church. Christ the head of the church. Not a human institution. All spiritual in truth and love. They thought a bad thing in their hearts. Greed I guess. But all belongs to God. ??

Our culture resists this because they do not believe they have sin if they are doing good deeds. They also don't know Jesus their saviour and King.

Jesus is the way the truth and the light. We need to come yo Him forgiveness. He did it all on the cross for all of us. Jesus is the word.

Repentance is the only way to Jesus. God cannot look at sin. So we need to come humbly. Also our sins are washed away. We are changed 180 deg turn around, from the old creation to new. Thank you Jesus

We think too much in the present. We need to look to supernatural to see and hope for our faith to believe prayer works for today. Jesus did it all on the cross. We are blessed by his grace and mercy.??
