  1. The joy of knowing Christ love me so much that He gave His life.I am so happy because the joy inside me is coming from the Holy Spirit that lives in me. Even when I get sick I still have that eternal joy knowing that a mansion is waiting for me. That's why I have so much joy He never turns on me I love people that's my job as a born again Christian. Jesus gave me a new love and I don't want in no way go against what He tells. I loved my mother dearly and think about her but I have a joy now that God gave me grace and mercy. He comes before anyone in my life, He truly gave me true joy beyond anything you can imagine. Happiness is just what it say you be happy, but true joy the Holy Spirit lives in you and that joy makes you feel like you can fly. I can tell by the Spirit in them a true Christian is going to endure because the Holy Spirit lives especially in side of Him, counterfeit does shine you can feel they are really not doing what they should be doing, maybe they don't trust God enough. To me counterfeits have a dark spirit when I look at them I see it. It could be anything that cause them to not give e themselves to Christ. I pray for them to come into the joy of Jesus Christ.
  2. Trust me God will use difficult circumstances to refine and purify our obedience. Three years ago I was having a difficult time when my mother passed away and I prayed day and night for his help to get me through because God can do all things, well one morning I woke up and couldn't breathe before I went unconscious my brother call the ambulance. He said I fell back on my legs he throughout I broke them. The only thing I heard was the ambulance attendant saying we're losing her. I was on this breathing machine, when my spirit went back into my body was three days later. From that day on my faith in my creator grew more and more because showed me that she had no pain she in my arms. I wasn't afraid to die because you know nothing at all. So I fill that Christ gave me a little taste of death, and then rose me back up three days later and I didn't have to have the machin breathing for me. Believe me GOD sure show me that He is real. That instant say with me and I was pray for obedience. God could have let me died but He wanted to show me that He GOD. I can't live without Him because He loves me so. much.
  3. As long as you are be obedient God the Holy Spirit will protect you it's like putting a high fence around you with no gate opening for anyone or anything can get. Salvation and God part go together because of the blood of Christ. I keep my mind on being obedient to His Word.
  4. Jesus Christ died on the cross so we can be forgiven so our sins. When you accept Jesus as you personal Savior there is no way you can't obey him after what He done for us. You can't accept one and not other, the Holy Spirit and Jesus is one you can't separate them.
  5. A Christian that can identify with world instead of heaven is a world person and I don't consider that person a true Christian. So far thank Jesus Christ I have kept my mind on my maker because I live here but not of this world.
  6. The Trinity God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit is one God. Your can't separate them because there is only God. In Genesis God said let US make man that the Godhead and they are GOD. God is three in one.
  7. It is very important that Jesus Christ die for us sins. If he didn't we all will be doomed to hell because our nature we was born into sin. There was only one way for us and that is by the perfect lamb of God. We can only be saved His blood had to be to spilled out for us. Thank you Jesus Christ for dying for me.
  8. To believe Jesus is to take hold of the message that He teaches. To receive the message is to truly believe in His words with all your heart.
  9. John came to witness and testify of the light so all man can believe in the one coming after after him. The purpose for me being here is to witness and testify of our Christ who died for everyone. If you can't receive the Good message in your heart, there is one other place to go and most people don't want to there. John was killed because he refuse to stop testifying to Christ. Testifying about Christ is never easy because you don't know what type of person to come in contact with. Don't worry about that because Jesus Christ is the head of my life. I always try to let God be in the driver's seat and i am the passenger. His way is never wrong!
  10. Jesus is He is the Word (God) sins. The Trinity or Godhead is God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit and they are all God, there only one God Almighty and He same down the flesh to save mankind so we can go to heaven. God loves us that much to come down in the flesh of His Son to endure all the pain that and suffering then died for us. To bring grace unforgiving. I try to get all the knowledge of God word everyday. And I am so graceful that He died for me. The main reason I like researching and studying the Trinity because God lead me to get my PH.D in Divinity. You got to make your entire life to Him and He will give you Ll knowledge about the Godhead.
  11. Jesus fulfill what He came to do, minister to the lost and afflicted an finally dying on the cross fully human. I love Him and appreciate everything He endure for me. If you've your life completely serving Him, when your time come you gladly said "Heavenly Father it is finish, into your hands I give up my spirit. That reminds me when my mother was on her way to the onside. I pray for her, anointed her with oil and after my did I said Father God into your hands I commend my mother spirit, then she was gone.being a Doctor and Reverend I knew what she expected me to do, she had a smile on her face that I wi never forget. That's the most important thing to me that my God say well done thy faithful servant.
  12. Jesus completed the job He was given by the Father, that's to endure all the cruelty and eventually death for all of our sins. As a human at the time of taking on all our sins, we should be very grateful and would do everything we can to live for Jesus. He already took on the hardest part for us, now we should give our lives completely to live doing God's will and not our own. Thank you Lord Jesus, give me the strength daily to do your will. AMEN!
  13. I learn that He was fully human at that time on the cross. He had to be in order for our sins to be forgiven. He thirst, was afraid, weak and in a lot of pain. I cold never endure what He was able to do. Thank you Lord Jesus.
  14. Jesus Christ was fully human and fully divine. When He said He thirst that shows His human side that we can all relate. Jesus was tired, getting weak and very thirsty. Yet, what He endured for us no other human can ever have endured that type of suffering. Jesus showed us from he cross both sides of Himself, human and divine. That's true love to lay down your life like Jesus did and didn't get angry or upset.
  15. Jesus had faith, commitment and love for the Father even in His darkest hours. He showed the true meaning of love at its fullest. Things in live can cause us to say, Heavenly Father where are I need you. We have to have faith that He will always be there for us. Thank you Jesus for dying for me!
  16. Jesus makes John responsible for His mother because Jesus is the oldest Child and always took care of His mother. Jesus worried about His mother even from the cross and wanted to make sure she is cared for when He is gone from His earthly body. No matter how much agony Jesus was n at that moment He was more worried about His mother well-being than Himself. I am the oldest out of five siblings, when my mom was alive I was the one who made sure her needs were met on a daily basis. That's the way it has always been with my parents.
  17. I believe the thief faith is so astounding because here he is nailed on the cross, enduring a lot of pain and probably fear too. But, the thief believed Jesus Christ to be God's Son, the Messiah Jesus Christ. In his last moments the thief wants forgiveness and Jesus said, "today you will be with me in paradise". Jesus must have really felt good because here is a common criminal dying for his crime and still wanted Jesus to remember him. That is so awesome. God gave Jesus someone so He wouldn't be lonely. Both Christ and the thief had each other day great day on the cross.
  18. I feel that we all are responsible for Christ crucifixion on the cross, which didn't start with those of His time. Sin was born into the world through Adam and Eve, therefore, we all have sin and crucified Christ on that cross. All of us is to blame. Thanks to our Heavenly Father He found a way out for us so we wouldn't have to be doomed to hell and that is through Jesus Christ my Lord and Savior.
  19. The point Paul is trying to make here is that he live his life strictly for Christ. What he preach to otbers, he is also preaching to himself. He doesn't tell them to do anything he doesn't do himself. Self-discipline is important because people are watching what you do and if you can't live right they don't want you to preach to them about not living the Christian life. We should love Christ enough to live for Him, and this includes self-discipline in our daily lives.
  20. Paul did whatever he had to do in order to win souls for the Kingdom of heaven. Jesus Christ called Paul to the ministry he wasn't just doing a job. He choose to do it free of charge. Sometimes in life we have to give up certain things for the sake of the Kingdom of God, and obedience is always the best way to go even though most of us will try to run instead. Believe me, God will stop you in your tracks. When God calls you to the ministry just have faith and love for God and you will be alright. What's important is what God wants, not want we want.
  21. Paul boast about preaching free of charge because he didn't want the Corinthians say he was preaching for material gain and not Christ our Lord. His main focus was on leading people to Christ. If believe those preaching the gospel free of charge will receive their reward in heaven because they are focusing on Christ alone not money or material gains. Obedience to Paul was more important than money.
  22. Jesus was teaching the disciples to rely on those people whom they minister to for support. If you are giving spiritual food to your congregation, Paul states that they are to supply you with material support. Jesus even stated that if you are a preacher of the gospel, you ought to receive material support. It is the duty of the congregation to support their pastor and God will hold those congregations accountable for not doing so.
  23. Paul states that spiritual work ought to be paid material support, and since the Corinthians recognize others who are paid then preachers of the gospel ought to be paid also. Paul didn't exercise his right to support because it would have hindered the gospel message of Christ and he didn't want to take that chance. If you expect pay from new converts, they will feel as though all you want is the money and see it as a regular paying job.
  24. The beings behind idols are demonic spirits that are trying to mentally and physically turn you against the one true God. You will become spiritually contaminated if you involved yourself with such worship. Just the smallest part of participation is a danger to your Christianity.
  25. The burnt offerings that was offered to God, the piest ate a piece of the meat as well as the meat being offered to God for the sins of the people. Paul connects this observation with our participation in the Lord Supper (body and blood), which Christ was the perfect sacrifice.
