Really needed this message. Thank you Lord for this answer and not yet and no. Thanks Pastor Kibodeaux.
Jesus YOU ARE MY STRENGTH. Lord please bless my children both are special needs, heal them Lord. I’m overwhelmed because I’m on my own as a single mother I have no one to turn to, but you Heavenly Father. Give me strength as I struggle to buy groceries, and as I struggle to pay rent, and as I struggle to do it all for my sons. Keep us safe and protect us from the evil ones of this world. Amen. 💕
We can learn soooo much from Paul’s epistles in this age of grace. Elohims grace🙏🔥⚔️. I too love Paul’s epistles and how his heart was grieved for the lost. And he endured so much !
I'm glad that i am listening to him. He's a great teacher. I'm sending this to some of my family and friends. Thank you so much for posting it. God bless you and everyone that is connected to you.❤❤❤❤❤
Love Ross ! Knew him when he was at Jimmy Swaggart Bible College. The man is a powerful preacher & truly loves God!
An amazing message, thank you Lord Jesus for your Grace being magnified in our weaknesses.
Good teaching Brother. Thank you so very much 😊
Amazing 🔥🔥🔥🔥 thank you Lord Jesus
This was spot on.. have been chronically sick for the last six months, crying out in pain and feeling ashamed for my small faith .. if only I had the faith to rebuke the sickness more effectively! However, I know even affliction can be used by Him to draw me closer to Himself..
Greater value in God's sight...often??
I have severe skin problem thickening skin on both feet and rash on back in summer here can't sleep as it irritates please pray healing. Emmanuel 88 years india
Very powerful teaching! Thank you. HE is Sovereign. HE has shown me exactly what HE has you about satan. I do not understand all the things that has been weapons against me from the womb of my mother. I only know and understand this… HE has never left me nor forsaken me, and He has shown me great mercies and grace. HE has rescued me from the mouth of the lion…and HE will until the end… whatever that shall be for me. Thank You Jesus for my salvation by Your Blood.
Thank you Father for growing me up in You and still growing me through my four seasons 🙏 😊
Amen...Kibodeaux 🙌🙌🙌 Yes Lord!
Great word !
Beautiful sermon, thank you 🙏🏾
Wow, I was just meditating on this only minutes ago.
2 Corinthians 12:9😊❤
Genesis 41:53-57
" 53 The seven years of plenty that occured in the land of Egypt came to an end,
54 and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph😊❤
had said. There was famime in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
55 When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians,
" Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do."
56 so when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph😊❤ opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
57 Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph😊❤
to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth."( Genesis 41:53-57 ESV Study Bible)
In Genesis 41:54-57,
" As predicted in Pharaoh's dream, the seven years of plenty are followed by a "famine"( from Genesis 41:54a,54b ; 54) that extend well beyond the border of Egypt. Joseph's😊❤preparation, however, ensure that food is available for the Egyptians and " all the earth"(from Genesis 41:57a)( for example all the eastern Mediterrean region ... Genesis 6:17( Undee the context of great corruption)
The Bible said in Genesis 6:17
"17 For behold, I will bring a flood of water upon the earth to destroy all the flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die."( Genesis 6:17 ESV Study Bible)
My ESV Study Bible said,
" Although God intends to flooe to destroy every person and his remarks have a strong universal emphasis, this in itself does not necessary mean that flood had to cover the whole earth. Since the geographical perspective of anicient people was more limited than that of the comtemporary reader, it is possible that the flood, while universal from their viewpoint, did not cover the entire globe. Indeed, Genesis implies that prior to the Tower of Babel incident(read Genesis 11:1-9), people had not yet spread throughout the earth. Many interpreters, therefore, argue that a huge regional flood may have been all that was necessary for God( God😊100%❤ ou Father in heaven) to destroy all human beings.
The
Expression " all the earth" ( Genesis 7:3; Genesis 8:9, " the whole earth") does not exclude such a possibility; later, " all the earth"( from Genesis 41:57, 57a) came to Joseph to buy grain ( from Genesis 41:57, 57a), with " all the earth"( from Genesis 41:57a) clearly referring to the eastern Medieterrean seaboard. In support of the view that flood covered all the earth, other interpreters point out that the texts say that " all the high mountain under the whole heaven were covered."( Genesis 7:19) and that the water was " fifteen cubits" above the tops of the mountains. If " the mountains of Ararat"( Genesis 8:4) refers to the range that include present day Mount Ararat in the Turkey( elevation 16,854 feet or 5,137m), the amount of water necessary to cover it would be at least 16,854 feet above sea level."( ESV Study Bible)
and John 14:6😊❤
Matthew 27:24-26(Pilate deliveres Jesus to be crucified)
"24 So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, " I am innocent of this man's ( Jesus'😊1st❤
) blood; see to it yourselves."
25 And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children! "
26 Then he released for them Barabas( no good), having scourged Jesus, deliver him to be crucified."( Matthew 27:24-26 ESV study Bible)
John 14:6❤😊

" I am

Genesis 42:1-5 of Genesis 42:1-38( Joseph's😊❤ brothers1( 10😊❤'s)
go to Egypt)
Genesis 42:1-5
"42 When Jacob❤ learned that there was grain for sale in Egypt, he said to his sons,
" Why do you look at one another? "
2 And he said, " Behold, I have learned that there is grain for sale in Egypt. Go down and buy grain for us there, that we may live and not die."
3 So ten( 10) of Joseph's brother went down to buy grain in Egypt.
4 But Jacob did not send Benjamin
, Joseph's brother, with his brothers, for he feared that harm might happen to him.
5 Thus the sons of Israel came to buy among the others who came,
for
the famine was
in
the of Canaan."( Genesis 42:1-5 ESV Study Bible) in the upcoming Genesis 42:1-38,
" The brothers' first journey to Egypt"
Let get a brief summary from ESV Study Bible, it said, " Shortage of food in Canaan forces Jacob to send his sons to Egypt, but Benjamin
😊❤, Joseph' younger brother, remain at home, for Jacob fear losing him( Benjamin), too. When Joseph😊❤ finally encounter his brothers(10😊❤'s )again, he deliberately conceals his identity.

Amen!!!
God never says no if we ask according to his will as revealed in his word. There are times though when we have no definitive promise and in those cases we must submit to God’s plan.
And this is the confidence that we have toward him, that if we ask anything ACCORDING TO HIS WILL he hears us. (1 John 5:14 ESV)
Thank you so much for continuing to stand with me for my breakthrough. God is working at it and I am longing to see it in the flesh
Why do you post the same thing all the time
Genesis 44:6-17
"6 When he overtook them, he spoke to them to these words.
7 They said to him,
" Why does my lord speak such a words as these? Far be it from your servants to do such a thing!
8 Behold, the money that we found in the mouth of our sakes we brought back to you from the land of Canaan.
How then could we steal silver or gold from my lord's house?
9 whichever of your servants is found with it shall die, and we also will be my lord's servants."
10 He( Joseph) said,
" Let it be as you say: he who is found with it( the silver cup from Genesis 44:2a "...the silver cup, ...") shall be my servant, and rest of you shall be innocent."
11 Then each man quickly lowered his sack to the ground, and each man opened his sack.
12 And he searched, beginning with eldest and ending with the youngest. And the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
13 Then they tore their clothes, and every man loaded his donkey, and they returned to the city.
14 When Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, he was still there. They fell before him to the ground.
15 Joseph(😊❤ ) said to them,
" What deed is this that you have done? Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"( ESV Study Bible. Pause in Christ at Genesis 44:15b
"...Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"" ( Genesis 44:15b ESV Study Bible let explain this also with Genesis 44:3-5 or Genesis 44:5 later) from Genesis 44:15b
"...Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?" "( Genesis 44:15b ESV Study Bible Joseph😊❤ said these.)
It means
" Building on what his steward had said( Genesis 44:5 ) earlier regarding the silver cup( Genesis 44:5), Joseph portray himself as having the ability to discover secrets hidden from others. This may also be a ploy on Jeseph's part in order to elicit information from the brothers. Now that he has created the impresion that he can discover knowledge with divine help, his brothers may feel that they can no longer concel their past actions. For this reason, Judah remarks, God has found out the guilt of your servants( from Geneis 44:16
" 16 And Judah said,
" What shall we say to my lord?
What shall we speak?
or how can we clear ourselves?
God(😊100%❤) has found out the guilt of your servants; behold, we are my lord's servants, both we and he also in whose hand the cup has been found."
( from Genesis 44:16 ESV Study Bible). My ESV Study said and i quote here in Christ
" In all probability Judah has in minde the brothers' treatment of Joseph😊❤
, for he( Judah😊❤
) knows that they are innocent😊❤
of taking the silver cup( no stealing😊❤). The brothers are convinced that God( God😊100%❤ our Father in heaven) is now holding them to account for their( past) actions against Joseph😊❤. On behalf of all(😊❤'s) the brothers(😊❤'s), Judah😊❤ speaks to Joseph😊❤."( ESV Study Bible)
Last time i went skimmed over Genesis 44:5 on what Joseph's steward said to his brothers like Joseph told indirectly from Genesis 44:4, 4 b him to said to his brothers (them) in Genesis 44:5
"5 Is it not from this ( silver cup) that my lord drinks, and by this he practice divination? You have done evil in doing this.' " " ( Genesis 44:5 ESV Study Bible, before i share farther i am not God or Jesus. But just a faithful servant of God (😊100%❤)
and follower of Jesus (😊1st❤ )
too in Christ)
From Genesis 44:5b
"...my lord drinks, and by this he practice divination? ..."(Genesis 44:5b )
" Since these remark are set the context of a n elaborate ruse, it is impossible to know whether they should be taken as reflecting something that Joseph actually did. Joseph(😊❤ ) clearly intends that his brothers(😊❤'s) should believe( trust by faith in Christ Jesus(😊1st❤ ) or trust God😊100%❤ )) that he has powers of supernatural discernent( "discernment is something revealed by God😊100%❤ to us in Christ )(
Now we see Genesis 44:15
"15 Joseph(😊❤ ) said to them(😊❤'s),
" What deed is this that you have done?
Do you not know that a man like me can indeed practice divination?"( ESV Study Bible, this doesn't mean Joseph actually do bad divination but God reveals things to him no others understand to me by His words😊❤ from the Bible God😊100%❤ can speak in Christ too in Christ
so to Joseph's divination is different from Laban's divination . God bless Laban because of Jacob( or Israel😊❤
) to me in Christ. For future comments on divination, (we will) see from Genesis 30:27-30 on "learned by divination"
My ESV Study Bible said and I quote in quotes,
" The narrator does not specify the precise methold by which Laban( Jacob's uncle or Israel's uncle= Laban) discovers that the Lord😊❤ has blessed him because of Jacob. The Israelites were later prohabited😊❤ by God(😊100%❤ our Father in heaven ) from practicing dinvination(from Deuteronomy 18:10😊❤ ) because it sought to provide knowledge by inappropriate methods ( e.g.( for example), interpreting omen,using supernatural powers)."( ESV Study Bible)
"Laban 's use of divination is sinful, even though the information obtained is accurate. " ...the LORD bless me because of you( Jacob or Israel😊❤ ) from Genesis 30:27b Laban said
" ...the LORD bless me because of you( Jacob or Israel😊❤ ) from Genesis 30:27b ESV Study Bible)
"In Genesis, all the members of the special line descended from Abraham(😊❤ ) are portrayed as mediating God's blessing😊❤ to others( Introduction: history of salvation Summary).
" Name your wages "( Laban said to Jacob in Genesis 30:28a
" Name your wage, and I will give it."( from Genesis 30:28 ESV Study Bible ) so when Laban said in Genesis 30:28a
"28Name your wage,..
"( Genesis 30:28a ESV Study Bible)
" For 14 years( 7 years for Leah and 7 years for Rachel), Jacob( or Israel😊❤) has served Laban in order to pay the bride price for Leah and Rachel( born Joseph and Benjamin).
Having fulfilled this obligation, which has financially benefited Laban well beyond what he might have expected. Jacob(or Israel😊❤) now wants to provides for his own household. Laban, conscious of how Jacob😊❤ has enriched him and eager to retain his services, ask Jacob to name his wages for remaining with him."( ESV Study Bible)
Back to Genesis 44:17
"17 But he (Joseph) said, " Far be it from me that i should do so! Only the man in whose hand the cup was found shall be my servant. But as for you, go up in peace to your father( Jacob or Israel😊❤ )."( above Genesis 44:17 and above all in all meant Genesis 44:6-17 ESV Study Bible along with parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ along with notes in Christ and for Christ too from ESV Study Bible and paraphased too in Christ.
In Jesus'name, i pray( Matthew 28:19-20😊❤ and follow Him( Jesus😊1st❤

And in Christ one wife in Christ or at least one wife at a time in Christ and Hebrews 9:11-28❤and Matthew 28:19-20😊❤ in Christ). Amen.
Amen to Paul😊❤ in Christ is legit( real) in Christ and
Romans 8:28😊❤
Genesis 44:18-23
"18 Then Judah ❤went up to him ( Joseph❤) and said, " Oh , my lord , please let your servant speak a word in my lord's ears, and let not your anger burn against your servant, for you are like Pharaoh himself.
19 My lord asked his servants, saying, ' Have you a father, or a brother? '
20 And we said to my lord, " We have a father( Jacob or Israel😊❤), an old man😊❤, and a young brother😊❤, the child of his old age.'
21 Then you said to your servants, ' Bring him( Benjamin) down to me, that i may set my eyes on him.'
22 We said to my lord, ' The boy( Benjamin a boy) cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.'
23 Then you ( Joseph) said to your servants,
' Unless your youngest brother( Benjamin) comes down with you, you shall not see my face again.' " "( Genesis 44:18-23 ESV Study Bible)

26 we said,
' we cannot go down.
If our youngest brother( Benjamin😊❤) goes with us, then we will go down. For we cannot see the man's face unless our youngest brother( Benjamin😊❤) is with us.'
28 Then your servant my father( Israel😊❤) said to us,
' You know that my wife ( Rachel😊❤

49 But the others said,
" Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him."
50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit

"24 So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying, " I am innocent of this man's ( Jesus'😊1st❤
) blood; see to it yourselves."
25 And all the people answered, "His blood be on us and on our children! "
26 Then he released for them Barabas( no good), having scourged Jesus, deliver him to be crucified."( Matthew 27:24-26 ESV study Bible)
Genesis 42:1-5 of Genesis 42:1-38( Joseph's😊❤ brothers1( 10😊❤'s)
go to Egypt)
Genesis 42:1-5
"42 When Jacob❤ learned that there was grain for sale in Egypt, he said to his sons,
" Why do you look at one another? "
2 And he said, " Behold, I have learned that there is grain for sale in Egypt. Go down and buy grain for us there, that we may live and not die."
3 So ten( 10) of Joseph's brother went down to buy grain in Egypt.
4 But Jacob did not send Benjamin
, Joseph's brother, with his brothers, for he feared that harm might happen to him.
5 Thus the sons of Israel came to buy among the others who came,
for
the famine was
in
the of Canaan."( Genesis 42:1-5 ESV Study Bible) in the upcoming Genesis 42:1-38,
" The brothers' first journey to Egypt"
Let get a brief summary from ESV Study Bible, it said, " Shortage of food in Canaan forces Jacob to send his sons to Egypt, but Benjamin
😊❤, Joseph' younger brother, remain at home, for Jacob fear losing him( Benjamin), too. When Joseph😊❤ finally encounter his brothers(10😊❤'s )again, he deliberately conceals his identity. After accusing them of being spies, he( Joseph) hold Simeon hostage, sending the others back to Canaan on the understanding that they will return with Benjamin. Naturally Jacob😊❤ is very reluctant to permit this."( ESV Study Bible)

Matthew 27:32-44(The Crucifixion)
"32 As they went out, they found a man of Cyrene, Simon by name. They compelled this man to carry his(Jesus😊1st❤'s) cross.
33 And when they came to a place called Golgotha( which mean place of a skull),
34 they offer him wine to drink, mixed with gall, but when he tasted it, he would not drink it.
35 And when they had crucified him, they divided his garment among them by casting lots.
36 Then they sat down and kept watch over him there.
37 And over his head they put a charge against him, which read, " This is Jesus, the King of the Jews."
38 Then two robbers( I do not think either one got baptize yet for these two robbers and one get to heaven or paradise with Jesus 😊1st ❤ later on
) were crucified with Jesus(😊1st❤),
one on the right and one the left. ( both were not Jesus but the center-cross was Jesus😊1st❤ so we focus on Jesus 😊1st❤ at the center- cross. In Jesus'name, i pray( for others to focus on Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior in Christ and now back to Matthew 27:39-43) Amen.
Back to Matthew 27:39-43
" And
those who passed by
derided him( Jesus our savior in Christ), wagging their heads( plural)
40 and saying,
" You who would destroy the temple and rebuild it in three days( Jesus meant his body and his resurrection), save yourself! ( they don't even know he is saving them too at the cross and they also said,)
If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross."
41 So also the chief priests, with the scribes and elders, mocked him( Jesus, do you also who are the chief priests, scribes and elders today? For they also said),
saying
42 " He(Jesus) saved others, he cannot save himself. ..."(Do you also remember Matthew 26:53 too in Christ or more than 72,000 good angels?( from Matthew 26:53b)
"...He is the King of Israel; let him come down from the cross, and we will believe in him.
43 He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he desires him. For he(Jesus) said, " I am the Son of God. ' "
44 And the robbers who were crucified with him also reviled him in the same way."( Matthew 27:32-44 ESV Study Bible).
Do you also remember of Matthew 26:53
"53 Do you think that i cannot appeal to my father( God :) 100% love, our Father in heaven), and he will at once send me more than twelve legions of angels?"( Matthew 26:53 ESV Study Bible or more than twelve legions( 12× 6000= 72,000 or more than 72,000 good angels in Christ) but we thank God 😊100%❤( John 3:16😊❤)our Father in heaven who gave Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord(Jesus😊1st❤)
and our savior( Jesus😊1st❤ ) for his perfect and unconditional sacrificed from the cross and back later on in Matthew 28:1-10( The Resurrection 😊❤

46 And about the ninth hour Jesus cried out with a loud voice saying,
" Eli, Eli lema sabachthano?" That is,
"My God, my God, why have you foresaken me? "
47 And some of the bystanders, hearing it, said,
"This man is calling Elijah."
48 And one of them at once ran and took a sponge, filled it with sour wine, and put it on reed and give it to him ( Jesus) to drink.
49 But the others said,
" Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to save him."
50 And Jesus cried out again with a loud voice and yielded up his spirit
51
And behold, the curtain of the temple was torn into two, from top to bottom. And the earth shook, and rocks were split.
52 The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen alseep were raised,
53 and coming out of the tombs after his(Jesus') resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many.
54 When the certurion and those who were with him, keeping watch over Jesus, saw the earthquake and what took place, they were filled with awe and said, " Truly this was the Son( Jesus) of God! "
55 There were also many women there, looking on from a distance, who had followed Jesus from Galilee, ministering to him,

" 50 Before the year of famine came, two sons were born to Joseph😊❤. Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore them to him.

Genesis 41:53-57
" 53 The seven years of plenty that occured in the land of Egypt came to an end,
54 and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph😊❤
had said. There was famime in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
55 When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians,
" Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do."
56 so when the famine had spread over all the land, Joseph😊❤ opened all the storehouses and sold to the Egyptians, for the famine was severe in the land of Egypt.
57 Moreover, all the earth came to Egypt to Joseph😊❤
to buy grain, because the famine was severe over all the earth."( Genesis 41:53-57 ESV Study Bible)
In Genesis 41:54-57,
" As predicted in Pharaoh's dream, the seven years of plenty are followed by a "famine"( from Genesis 41:54a,54b ; 54) that extend well beyond the border of Egypt. Joseph's😊❤preparation, however, ensure that food is available for the Egyptians and " all the earth"(from Genesis 41:57a)( for example all the eastern Mediterrean region ... Genesis 6:17( Undee the context of great corruption)
The Bible said in Genesis 6:17
"17 For behold, I will bring a flood of water upon the earth to destroy all the flesh in which is the breath of life under heaven. Everything that is on the earth shall die."( Genesis 6:17 ESV Study Bible)
My ESV Study Bible said,
" Although God intends to flooe to destroy every person and his remarks have a strong universal emphasis, this in itself does not necessary mean that flood had to cover the whole earth. Since the geographical perspective of anicient people was more limited than that of the comtemporary reader, it is possible that the flood, while universal from their viewpoint, did not cover the entire globe. Indeed, Genesis implies that prior to the Tower of Babel incident(read Genesis 11:1-9), people had not yet spread throughout the earth. Many interpreters, therefore, argue that a huge regional flood may have been all that was necessary for God( God😊100%❤ ou Father in heaven) to destroy all human beings.
The
Expression " all the earth" ( Genesis 7:3; Genesis 8:9, " the whole earth") does not exclude such a possibility; later, " all the earth"( from Genesis 41:57, 57a) came to Joseph to buy grain ( from Genesis 41:57, 57a), with " all the earth"( from Genesis 41:57a) clearly referring to the eastern Medieterrean seaboard. In support of the view that flood covered all the earth, other interpreters point out that the texts say that " all the high mountain under the whole heaven were covered."( Genesis 7:19) and that the water was " fifteen cubits" above the tops of the mountains. If " the mountains of Ararat"( Genesis 8:4) refers to the range that include present day Mount Ararat in the Turkey( elevation 16,854 feet or 5,137m), the amount of water necessary to cover it would be at least 16,854 feet above sea level."( ESV Study Bible)

Paul wasn't concerned about dying look at all the revelations he had. Look man we all don't have those experience so yes it's a challenge being positive about death exspescially those who suffer from sickness. But beloved carry your Cross and let's all hope in Christ Jesus. One day saints we are hopeful of Glory!!!!
And Paul also said what that thorn was…”a messenger of satan to buffet him in his flesh”…. our battles are not with flesh and blood.

Mark 1:1-8(John the Baptist😊❤ prepares❤ the Way(Jesus 😊1st❤))
"1 The beginning of the gospel😊❤ of Jesus Christ(Jesus😊1st❤), the Son(Jesus😊1st❤) of God.
2 As it is written in Isaiah😊❤( from Old Testament) the prophet,
" Behold, I send my messenger before your face,
who will prepare your way,
3 the voice of one crying in the wilderness:
' Prepare the way of the Lord(Jesus😊1st❤),
make his path straight, ' "
4 John( John the Baptist😊❤) appeared, baptizing in the wilderness and proclaiming a baptism😊❤ of repentance😊❤ for forgiveness😊❤ of sins.
5 And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized 😊❤ by him( John the Baptist😊❤) in the river of Jordan, confessing 😊❤ their sins.
6 Now John 😊❤was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey."( ESV Study Bible)
Pause a little in Mark 1:7a
"7(a) And he( John the Baptist😊❤) preached😊❤,
( Do you also know that John the Baptist😊❤ was preacher 😊❤ too? and baptizing others in Jesus' time as "...baptism of repentance😊❤ for the forgiveness 😊❤ of sins." ( Mark 1:4 b ESV Study Bible)
( you might ask , what is John the Baptist😊❤ was saying 😊❤ ? besides baptizing God's people in the river of Jordan or should i say in Mark 1:5
"5 And all the country of Judea and all Jerusalem were going out to him and were being baptized 😊❤ by him( John the Baptist😊❤) in the river of Jordan, confessing 😊❤ their sins."( Mark 1:5 ESV Study Bible)
?
Back to Mark 1:7
Let us see what John saying
Mark 1:7
"7(a) And he( John the Baptist😊❤) preached😊❤,
saying
❤,
" After me comes he( Jesus😊1st❤, our Lord and our savior in Christ) who( Jesus😊1st❤)
is mightier😊❤ than I,
the strap of whose sandals
I am not worthy to stoop down and untie.
8 I have baptized😊❤ you(😊❤'s) with water, but he( Jesus😊1st❤ our savior in Christ😊❤) will baptize you with Holy Spirit(😊❤ our helper in Christ😊❤)." "( Mark 1:1-8 ESV Study Bible)
Do you also know that John the Baptist😊❤ had lived a low- key life in Christ too?
As a son of a well known priest( Zechariah😊❤
) and his mom Elizabeth😊❤ for both righteous before God(😊100%❤) from Luke 1:6 a)
Luke 1:5-6 said, 😊❤
" 5 In the days of Herod, king of Judea, there was a priest named Zechariah😊❤, of the division 😊❤ of Abijah😊❤. And he had a wife from the daughter of Aaron😊❤( another priest), and her name was Elizabeth😊❤.
6 And they( Zechariah and Elizabeth) were both righteous 😊❤😊❤ before God( 😊100%❤ very important righteous😊❤😊❤ before God😊100%❤), walking blamelessly😊❤ in all the commandmwnts😊❤ and statutes😊❤ of the Lord😊❤."( Luke 1:5-6 ESV Study Bible)
Anyways, my point is John the Baptist😊❤ had live a low- key lifestlyle by looking at what he wore and ate at his time or Jesus😊1st❤'s time look at Mark 1:6
"6 Now John ( John the Baptist😊❤) was clothed with camel's hair and wore a leather belt around his waist and ate locusts and wild honey."( Mark 1:6 ESV Study Bible)
Jesus😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior also lived a simple and low- key lifestyle in Christ😊❤ from Matthew 8:20😊❤.
Matthew 8:20😊❤
" 20 Jesus(😊1st❤) replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” "( NIV)
Thank You God 😊100%❤ for Your Words😊❤ for us😊❤ in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray( John 13:34❤). Amen.
Then as I see the suffering and dying I will no longer intervene, I will just tell the woman in the ditch bleeding out from rape that his grace is sufficient. Kid dying? Its just a thorn and its good enough for you. Teenager sold? Its grace dear....
Depends on what you were knit for. Its all a matter if you and your wants line up with his end game of saving and blessings for his favorites. I overcame, I overcame! That makes it all worth it...I will just tell the hungry that they need the lesson, the pain is a divine purpose...
You pastors need to study more it clearly reads. NKJV " a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, It was not given from God! You are in Error! Stop teaching people God gave Paul the Thorn. It does not read that your adding your speculation and opinion to Scripture. God is good He wants good for us. We bring on our thorns or get attacked by Satan. This guy!!!!
