[FONT=Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Let's hone in on the word neighbor.[/FONT]


  1. a neighbour
    1. a friend

    3. according to Christ, any other man irrespective of nation or religion with whom we live or whom we chance to meet


[FONT=Roboto, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]I like the definition in B. Any interaction I ever have with another person, that person is my neighbor. Grocery store clerk- my neighbor.

A neighbor is not just those living next to you in your neighborhood.

There are passages even more direct than this

Love your enemies is one.

But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you,
 
This passages reminded me of this scripture in Hebrews :

Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.

This prayer is especially important for all of us right now.

1 Timothy 2:1-4 -

I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people - for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

Exactly! You never know when that stranger you are interacting with is really an angel! That’s profound.

True but different context in my opinion. When I take into consideration this definition of neighbor, it makes those interactions I have with everyday people more personal to me instead just considering them strangers that I may never see again. I must find a way to love them in that short interaction and hopefully in doing so plant some seeds. If that makes sense.
 
Mark 9:14-29 King James Version

Jesus Heals a Boy with an Unclean Spirit

14 And when he came to his disciples, he saw a great multitude about them, and the scribes questioning with them. 15 And straightway all the people, when they beheld him, were greatly amazed, and running to him saluted him. 16 And he asked the scribes, What question ye with them [1] 17 And one of the multitude answered and said, Master, I have brought unto thee my son, which hath a dumb spirit; 18 And wheresoever he taketh him, he teareth [2] him: and he foameth, and gnasheth with his teeth, and pineth away: and I spake to thy disciples that they should cast him out; and they could not. 19 He answereth him, and saith, O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? how long shall I suffer you? bring him unto me. 20 And they brought him unto him: and when he saw him, straightway the spirit tare him; and he fell on the ground, and wallowed foaming. 21 And he asked his father, How long is it ago since this came unto him? And he said, Of a child. 22 And ofttimes it hath cast him into the fire, and into the waters, to destroy him: but if thou canst do any thing, have compassion on us, and help us. 23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth. 24 And straightway the father of the child cried out, and said with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine unbelief. 25 When Jesus saw that the people came running together, he rebuked the foul spirit, saying unto him, Thou dumb and deaf spirit, I charge thee, come out of him, and enter no more into him. 26 And the spirit cried, and rent him sore, and came out of him: and he was as one dead; insomuch that many said, He is dead. 27 But Jesus took him by the hand, and lifted him up; and he arose. 28 And when he was come into the house, his disciples asked him privately, Why could not we cast him out? 29 And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.

Do you think people still get possessed? Question not just for EJD.

I do believe that it's still possible for individuals to get possessed. I don't think it's a very high number though. The bible didn't say it wouldn't happen anymore that I know of. A very polarizing figure named Bob Larson has video proof of a exorcism. I believe he's the first person to show a real exorcism on camera. I could be wrong on that.

I believe that many cases of possession aren't actual possession but are in fact demonic oppression. I think severe oppression is much more likely.

My thoughts as well. Most are just constantly in the person's ear...whispering. Human beings only require a nudge to fall off track.

Reminds me of a real life story that happened to me. Many years back right out of jail, I was working like 24x7 and for my custody battle I had to move to a town an hour away to retain joint custody of my daughter. I just couldn't save enough at the time, after having lost my job and my ass for an AAS charge. So anyways I found this Condo I really loved, and they wanted like $1500 a month to rent but they wanted like $4500 down. And I was running out of time.

So Im stressing on the way back from the gym one day and its pouring snow. So I see this homeless guy in the cubby of a storefront. Now I had just picked up Dunkin Donuts for my sister, but I swung an illegal U-Turn and came back to the guy. Got out with the coffee and food, asked him how he was doing. He had a very strong Aura to him, friendly, looked scared of me. I also reached into my wallet and pulled out all the cash I had. Prob was like $20 bucks. I never carry cash. So he was super thankful and it just seemed very odd to me, because of how happy he was, and I mean it was snowing and cold. And I felt guilty just leaving.

So literally a few hours later, same day, Im getting ready for bed and the realtor calls me. Random. She's like we just reviewed your credit check, job history. She said, "I've never heard of anything like this in my 20 years". Not only does the owner say you only have to come up with 1st and last months rent. He said for you he would reduce the price to $1,000 per month. So you only need $2,000 to move in. Are you in.

I was literally stunned with this, bc for some odd reason, I knew that genuinely giving that man money had something to do with the Karma I just received.

We moved in and lived there for several years til I got back on my feet.

True story.

What a beautiful story of out heavenly Fathers spiritual law of “sowing and reaping!!!”

You sowed 20 lousy bucks and God blessed that 100 fold brother. Make no mistake that was not karma. That was spiritual divine intervention . Thanks for sharing it with us Wes

That's exactly what I thought....sowing and reaping!

If you ever wonder how you can be a witness for Christ...YOUR stories are the best way. You don't need to know every scripture, have a doctorate in theology, etc. Tell your own personal stories. It's literally that simple.
 
1 Timothy 4:1-2 NKJV

1 Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron,

I scratch my head and say how the hell is it possible LOL. Literally. Im skeptical by nature, and I mean that not to say I dont believe it, but rather, I question, how did this come about, how was this possible. And I dont have enough experience in the Bible to reference. So I just assumed maybe John had a dream and was spoken to...but even then I still don't know how he knew for instance at first sight that Jesus was Jesus. It could have been any random stranger. Had he seen him in a dream? How did he know?

If you asked me my genuine answer, Id say I cannot fathom, except maybe a dream?

What’s up man. Absolutely wild to see this post on here. I actually got tired of spinning my wheels and not fulfilling my true potential. I joined an internship at a massive church here in the south. Guys. God is real. I see it everyday. Last week I watch a guys leg WITH MY OWN EYES grow about 2 1/2”. I’ve been “Slain in the Spirit” before (look it up) and there’s no other way to describe it. God speaks to me and I act on his voice and confirm it all the time. It takes an egotistical mf to think there isn’t a higher power and that all his saves from God and all the things he’s escaped were just his own self. You aren’t that special fella.

To answer your question bro, God spoke to John the Baptist. John had a great relationship with God and followed Him for many years before the story in the Bible. God was speaking to, and leading,John.

I think it is so awesome that you made this post and are diving into it. I agree on the NKJV. Best version out there. Get a “Study Bible”. I just have the Bible App to cross reference different versions. Quick tips on reading the Bible. It’s not about the pages you read, it’s the time spent reading them. Break them down. Read the study part of your Bible at the bottom of each page. It has so much info. Like this morning I learned from my study part of my Bible that 80% of child births back then was a fatality! It was so unsanitary and lack of medical that the odds were never great. Get a study Bible bro!

Start listening to some Christian music. They make good stuff these days. One of my favorites right now is “Rattle” by Elevation Worship.
There’s good Christian rap as well. Hit up “Now I know” by ASAP Preach.
There’s good rock out there too I’m just blank right now.

All these steps you’re taking WILL be rewarded with spiritual growth bro. God see’s your heart and your efforts. And He loves it.

If you remember anything at all from this entire thread, remember this:
God is more worried about your PURSUIT, than your PERFECTION.
And if any of you want more from life, work on your heart. A man can be strung out on meth and be farther in life than a man who waited until marriage for sex and did all the right things and is Pastor at a Church. Ya wanna know why? HEART. God is worried about our hearts more than anything else. Always do the right thing. Even when it isn’t fair, and your heart will be changed. I’m STILL working on mine, everyday. As mine was damaged a lot from childhood problems which I’m sure most of us on here had.

Just like anything, the more you do something the easier it gets. Well, in this faith walk, God also awards us. So once you start growing, it comes quick! Commit to a few months of it. Find a good Church. It’s a life I never thought was possible to live.

Bro if you have ANY questions and I can help, let me know. My email is pigsooie798@gmail.com if there starts to be negative Godly stuff or people mocking or doubting God in big ways, I won’t come back to the thread. Nothing against them, that’s their beliefs. But it isn’t good for MY faith and MY walk with God at this time. I’m constantly in the Word and being poured into by the best of the best. If I don’t know an answer, I’m surrounded by people I can get you an answer from.

Man, God is proud of you! He’s telling me that right now. Everyone in here can think I’m crazy, but I could care less lol. God wants you to know man. And I’m bold enough to tell you, He’s proud of you.

Has anyone in here NOT given their lives to God? If you haven’t said the salvation prayer and accepted Jesus into your life, do it right now. I believe once you accept Jesus into your heart, you are Heaven bound. His love is unconditional. I never believed that until I really got deep into this Christian life. Most of you won’t believe it either, but it’s facts I’ve learned from some of the most Godly Men to ever walk to earth. So, what do you have to lose by saying this prayer and putting your eternity in Heaven vs Hell?

Anyone who hasn’t. Simple speak this out loud, right now:

“Father God, I give you my life, I accept Jesus Christ into my heart. Today, I make Jesus Christ, the Lord of my life. I know* (be confident) that Jesus died on the cross for my sins. Thank You Father for saving me and for Your saving grace. I am the head and not the tail, I am above and never beneath. I’m going to Heaven! And I’ll never* smell a scent of hell”
And following that just repent of your sins. Talk to God. Repent whatever is on your heart and you feel like you need to repent of.

Don’t overthink anything in this Faith Walk. God is a relationship. Not some computer. If you say a word wrong or do a specific wrong, God doesn’t care. He knows you’ll figure it out in due time, He’ll be to tickled just to be in that relationship with you and see your efforts. Do not* overthink anything other than scripture’s by diving into and dissecting them. Simply decide in your hearts to make a commitment to try this life out, and watch what happens.

If you said the salvation prayer please PM me. I would love to pray for you and it will absolutely be 100% discreet between you and I.

Have a blessed weekend my friends 🤙🏻
 
This contains current events, politics and Bible. If you follow current events and Bible this interview will blow your mind

Listen all the way through to the end

 
2 Peter 3:9-10 NKJV
9 The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night, in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt with fervent heat; both the earth and the works that are in it will be burned up.
 
my wife gets mad at me because I pace back and forth through the house thinking about all the things I have to get done and how im going to do them. I often say “today was a wasted day” when I fail to get my own to do list checked off.... I don’t know if it’s anxiety or just genetic but I’ve always felt like I needed to get something done everyday. And the days I that I fail to do this I always feel like I’ve let myself down.

I dunno, maybe being anti-sloth is a saving grace?

This is something I needed to hear

I have recently wondered how I can help

My reputation is good, but not for things of God

People now mock me, and laugh at me at times bc of this. Never to my face, Im still jacked, don't be fooled

And Im not gonna pretend Im some magically on board guy. I still have alot of things to work on , but in my heart I mean well and want to help others

And I do.

I've struggled to tell others what I believe for the fact I am no expert. Now ask me something about endocrinology and thousands of people will line up to hear me speak.

But with this, it's different. I have no expertise... I dont have that long term expertise, that people will pay to have revealed.

If only I could trade. Because isn't this of so much more value?

Is it not?

Like a blessing and a curse. The only things I have ever been talented or gifted in, are not an ability in this area.

Maybe people will research on their own, simply bc of our thread? I dont know. I can live with that positivity.

I can pull a dozen girls in a week, or I can convince a dozen people to run a certain cycle within minutes...any day of the week..but I can't convince people to believe me in this regards....And that bothers me.

You guys @ multi and Wes made me think of this scripture ... Revelation 12:11

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.

There is nothing more powerful than the blood and our testimonies !!

The analogy that is always brought up is "we are all the body of Christ." Not everyone is an "important" part of the body like an eye or a hand. Some are a toe, or maybe just a tiny hair. But we are all still the body of Christ. We each will play our own role. Things we do may not seem "big" or important at the time. But we still have our part to play and it *does* make a difference. Sometimes just living as a good example is the important thing. Being honest and fair in dealings with others goes a long way.

My reputation is good, but not for things of God

People now mock me, and laugh at me at times bc of this. Never to my face, Im still jacked, don't be fooled

And Im not gonna pretend Im some magically on board guy. I still have alot of things to work on , but in my heart I mean well and want to help others

And I do.

I've struggled to tell others what I believe for the fact I am no expert. Now ask me something about endocrinology and thousands of people will line up to hear me speak.

But with this, it's different. I have no expertise... I dont have that long term expertise, that people will pay to have revealed.

If only I could trade. Because isn't this of so much more value?

Is it not?

Like a blessing and a curse. The only things I have ever been talented or gifted in, are not an ability in this area.

Maybe people will research on their own, simply bc of our thread? I dont know. I can live with that positivity.

I can pull a dozen girls in a week, or I can convince a dozen people to run a certain cycle within minutes...any day of the week..but I can't convince people to believe me in this regards....And that bothers me.

Don't get down on yourself. I've known missionaries who spent years with people and never got to lead them to the lord. You plant the seeds someone else could be the one to see the harvest.
