Laura/ Chicago, Illinois  U.S.A. 

 

Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:

God forgives anyone, if they confess their sins and repent of them.  

I John 1:9 KJV

If we confess our sins, He is Faithful and Just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Acts 3:19 KJV

Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out..."

II Corinthians 7:10 NASB

For the sorrow that is according to the will of God produces a repentance without regret, leading to salvation, but the sorrow of the world produces death. 

If you haven't already done so, confess your sin, tell God, you will make a complete about face (with His help) to your old living, while receiving The Lord Jesus as your Savior, and Lord ( Master).

Give your life totally to The Lord, making Him alone The Master of your life.  Be sure to read His Word, and He will guide you. Attend a Bible beliving church, and become a member.

14 Who gave Himself for us, that He might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto Himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works.

Hebrews 9:28 KJV

I Peter 1:18,19 KJV

18 For as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;

For He says, ‘Order on order, order on order, Line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there.’”

Isaiah 47:8,9 KJV

8 Therefore hear now this, thou that art given to pleasures, that dwellest carelessly, that sayest in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me; I shall not sit as a widow, neither shall I know the loss of children:

9 But these two things shall come to thee in a moment in one day, the loss of children, and widowhood: they shall come upon thee in their perfection for the multitude of thy sorceries, and for the great abundance of thine enchantments.

Acts 6:2 NLT

So the Twelve called a meeting of all the believers. They said, “We apostles should spend our time teaching The Word Of God, not running a food program.

Romans 7:4 NLT

So, my dear brothers and sisters, this is the point: You died to the power of The Law when you died with Christ. And now you are united with The One who was raised from the dead. As a result, we can produce a harvest of good deeds for God.

Wherefore receive ye one another, as Christ also received us to the glory of God.

When Jesus came into the official’s house and saw the flute players and the crowd in noisy disorder, 

Acts 19:40 NASB

II Corinthians 12:20 NLT

For I am afraid that when I come I won’t like what I find, and you won’t like my response. I am afraid that I will find quarreling, jealousy, anger, selfishness, slander, gossip, arrogance, and disorderly behavior. 

1 Thessalonians 5:14 NET

And we urge you, brothers and sisters, admonish the undisciplined, comfort the discouraged, help the weak, be patient toward all. 

II Thessalonians 3:6,7,11 NASB

6 Now we command you, brothers and sisters, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from every brother or sister who leads a disorderly life and not one in accordance with the tradition which you received from us. 

7 For you yourselves know how you ought to follow our example, because we did not act in an undisciplined way among you, 

11 For we hear that some among you are leading an undisciplined life, doing no work at all, but acting like busybodies.

Titus 1:6,7,10 KJV

6 An elder must live a blameless life. He must be faithful to his wife, and his children must be believers who don’t have a reputation for being wild or rebellious. 

7 A church leader is a manager of God’s household, so he must live a blameless life. He must not be arrogant or quick-tempered; he must not be a heavy drinker, violent, or dishonest with money.

10 For there are many rebellious people who engage in useless talk and deceive others. This is especially true of those who insist on circumcision for salvation.  

Prayer:

I Corinthians 14:33,40 KJV

33 For God is not the author of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints.

40 Let all things be done decently and in order.

22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?

23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.

Matthew 15:17-20 NLT

17 “Anything you eat passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.

10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbor: therefore love is the fulfilling of The Law.

“Pastor, I'm 38 years old and I  have a feeling of being worthless. My parents said of four children, I was the one most likely  not to succeed. And it seems that way. What I need is how can I straighten all this around, if, I even should...”

Arthur/ Rowley Regis, England   United Kingdom

The most important thing  in the world, is “not” what someone else, thinks of us, or even our own opinion of ourselves, but rather what does Almighty God, think of us!

18 He that believeth on Him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of The Only Begotten Son Of God.

3 For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior;

4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of The Truth.

God And  His People:

Now if you will obey Me and keep My Covenant, you will be My own special treasure from among all the peoples on earth; for all the earth belongs to Me.

Psalm 139:16,17 KJV

16 Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them.

17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them!

Matthew 10:29-31 NLT

29 What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. 

30 And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. 

31 So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.

29 For God knew His people in advance, and He chose them to become like His Son, so that His Son would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters. 

38 And I am convinced that nothing can ever separate us from God’s love. Neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither our fears for today nor our worries about tomorrow—not even the powers of hell can separate us from God’s love. 

39 No power in the sky above or in the earth below—indeed, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate us from the love of God that is revealed in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Ephesians 1:4,5 NLT

4 Even before He made the world, God loved us and chose us in Christ to be holy and without fault in His eyes.
