DOES THE BIBLE HAVE THE ANSWERS TO WHAT AILS US?
by Bob1939
(Dec. 28, 2010) — But you sure wouldn’t know it by the way we are behaving. If we were to make a study of what the root causes were every time mankind got into trouble, we would soon see that it was always the same cause… greed, money, lies, deceit, murder, lack of God, idolatry, increasing aggression by evil people, apathy from the good folks; folks who don’t stand up in time (while they had the chance), resulting in us going back into bondage under some satanic powers; and that’s just the way it is, always has been this way, since time began.
I’m not a Preacher, so I’m not going to preach now, but I do have to get something off my heavy heart. You see God gave us a study manual or a handbook if-you-will; its called The Bible, (best book every written) wherein God tells us absolutely everything that we ever need to know to get along properly in this world-age (Mark 13:23… behold, I have foretold you all things.) Herein following are some other useful and applicable quotes from our Operating Manual.
Deuteronomy 15:6 For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee.
Deuteronomy 28:12 The LORD will open the heavens, the storehouse of his bounty, to send rain on your land in season and to bless all the work of your hands. You will lend to many nations but will borrow from none.
2 Chronicles 7: 14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
Ecclesiastes 12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. 7Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
Isaiah 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Ezekiel 18:4 Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.
Amos 8:11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD:
Matthew 4:4 But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
Matthew 13:40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned in the fire; so shall it be in the end of this world. 41The Son of man shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; 42And shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 43Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears to hear, let him hear.
Mark 13: 23 But take ye heed: behold, I have foretold you all things.
Luke 12:10 And whosoever shall speak a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but unto him that blasphemeth against the Holy Spirit it shall not be forgiven.
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
John 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
2 Corinthians 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Ephesians 6:10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.
As I so stated earlier, I’m not a preacher, but a preacher whom I respect greatly is Pastor Arnold Murray of Shepherd’s Chapel, and a recent message over the airways during this holiday season, is as follows… Tested by Sunlight http://www.shepherdschapel.com/Media/12_23_2010_hi_vid.wmv
And finally I would like to say something to The Post & Email – Editor, Mrs. Sharon Rondeau… May God bless and keep you always Sharon, for all the work that you are doing for God and Country. I see that more and more people are starting to wake up and see the light, thanks to the many sacrifices, that I know you are making. It is a honor and a pleasure to be associated in my small way with such a dedicated and focused Patriot as your good-self. I feel that 2011 will indeed be the year of further wake-up of America, and the total exposure of Obama, and his ilk. It is unfortunate that we are so very far down such a long, bumpy road. However whatever it is that God has in store for us, I am 100% comfortable with that, and He knows who is doing the heavy lifting, and who couldn’t care less. God does indeed look after his own, and whatever we are now enduring as a Country, we are undoubtedly most deserving of, due to having strayed so far from Him, in so very many ways, and with such complacency. I pray for you and family in the times ahead; it will all be good!. (Isaiah 40:31)
Bob1939, WOW you did good!!! We are all commissioned to tell others the “Good News” and you definitely have done an excellent job of your calling!!
To “AnotherPerfectDay” I thank you very much too for your encouraging words. I also have a propensity to expound on other serious matters surrounding us at this time… One of which is our bogus POTUS who allows, Patriot Lakin to be falsely accused and sit in jail, while “he with no documentation” whatsoever (that could pass muster), is allowed to fly around the world in AIRFORCE ONE like it’s his own personal Bizjet, all while celebrating one big non-stop, continuous holiday, and all while being an illegal alien, make-believe, pretend-to-be president, with strong Muslim-jihadist affiliations. Furthermore the other branches of government will not address these issues because it absolutely proves just how ineffectively worthless and utterly stupid they all have been, AND CONTINUE TO BE, in spite of irrefutable evidence that all what I’ve just said is TRUE. Plus all the current worthless members of the House, Senate, SCOTUS, Military, FBI, and CIA all just sit by watching Rome burn, while Nero continues playing his violin, and destroying the Country.
What a beautiful article! I am a follower of Pastor Wiley Drake and we also need to bring back imprecatory prayer.
Thanks for your kind words “Outraged”. I looked up Pastor Drake online, and he seems to be a man of great conviction who isn’t afraid to speak up, and I always admire that, especially in a preacher. Sure drives liberals nuts doesn’t he?. I would be remiss if I didn’t mention another great Patriot, man-of-conviction, flamboyant, and 100% truthful and honest; and that is the one-and-only, Honourable Pastor James David Manning. What a great human being he is. If we had only listened to what he was saying three years ago, we would not now be in this abominable mess. But we can certainly listen now, and to many others now seeing the light. When a man puts his own life on the line for his fellow man, then we should damn-well listen, stand-up, join-in, and correct the situation!!!
