Cross-Dressing


Bible Questions Answered:
“...in the office where I work, some women come in ..mens suits with ties. To me this seems crazy and out of place....”
Doreen/ Periqueux, France (Franche-Comte)

Bible Answer:
This is wrong, and how do we know, we know because God tells us so!

Deuteronomy 22:5 KJV
The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination* unto the Lord thy God.

*Abomination: Greek; Towebah (To-ay-baw): Something disgusting, an abhorrence; abominable, custom or thing.

Wikipedia
Transvestism:
People who habitually and voluntarily wear clothes of the opposite sex. Usually associated with homosexuality.

Cross-Dressing, or Uni-Sex, is the agenda of the evil one.
His plan is to destroy anything that God has created.

The difference in the sexes was instituted in creation by God, for the purpose of procreation.
And those differences are to be honored and maintained.

Genesis 1:27 KJV
So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created He him; male and female created He them.

Now some one might say “But that was under the law, we are under Grace.”
And the answer:

Matthew 5:17-20 KJV (Jesus)
17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfill.
18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
19 Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
20 For I say unto you, That except your righteousness shall exceed the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, ye shall in no case enter into the kingdom of heaven.

Remember well also....
Malachi 3:6 KJV
For I am the Lord, I change not..."

If our God felt that way in Moses day, He certainly feels that way to day as well!

I Timothy 2:9,10 KJV (Apostle Paul)
9 In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest* apparel, with shamefacedness* and sobriety*; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
10 But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

*Modest: Greek, Kosmios (Kos-mee-os): Decorous, of good behavior, modest.

*Shamefacedness: Greek, Aidos (Ahee-doce): Through the idea of down cast eyes; bashfulness, modesty or (towards God) awe: reverence.

*Sobriety: Greek, Sophrosune (So-fros-oo-nay: Soundness of mind, i.e. sanity, or self control: soberness, sobriety.

I Timothy 2:9,10 NLT
9 And I want women to be modest in their appearance. They should wear decent and appropriate clothing and not draw attention to themselves by the way they fix their hair or by wearing gold or pearls or expensive clothes.
10 For women who claim to be devoted to God should make themselves attractive by the good things they do.

I Peter 3:3-5 NLT (Peter)
3 Don’t be concerned about the outward beauty of fancy hairstyles, expensive jewelry, or beautiful clothes.
4 You should clothe yourselves instead with the beauty that comes from within, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is so precious to God.
5 This is how the holy women of old made themselves beautiful..."

Exodus 33:1-6 NLT (Is God concerned with our appearance?)
1 The Lord said to Moses, “Get going, you and the people you brought up from the land of Egypt. Go up to the land I swore to give to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I told them, ‘I will give this land to your descendants.’
2 And I will send an angel before you to drive out the Canaanites, Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites.
3 Go up to this land that flows with milk and honey. But I will not travel among you, for you are a stubborn and rebellious people. If I did, I would surely destroy you along the way.”
4 When the people heard these stern words, they went into mourning and stopped wearing their jewelry and fine clothes.
5 For the Lord had told Moses to tell them, “You are a stubborn and rebellious people. If I were to travel with you for even a moment, I would destroy you. Remove your jewelry and fine clothes while I decide what to do with you.”
6 So from the time they left Mount Sinai, the Israelites wore no more jewelry or fine clothes.

Separation Of The Sexes:

Hair:
I Corinthians 11:14,15 KJV
14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.

It is nothing today, to see some women in a “butch” cut off, hair style, being the male counter part in a lesbian relationship.

Or see some men with long hair and a pony tail, or flip.

Is there any wonder what is at work here?

I Peter 3:7 KJV
Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Satan's desire is to radicalize the sexes, feminization of men (emasculation), and the masculation of women.
Women who are to be the “weaker vessel,” according to God's creation!

Christian men and women, be sure your attire is:
  1. Not sensual, but modest before the Lord.
  2. Not any part of the attire of the opposite sex, falling into the abomination of the Lord!

Coals Of Fire


Bible Questions Answered:
“.....Pastor, what does the verse in Romans 12:20 mean?”
Henrietta/ Toronto, Canada (Ontario)

Bible Answer:

Bible Text:
Romans 12:14-21 KJV (Jesus)
14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not.
15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep.
16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits.
17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith The Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.

Jesus, here was teaching that God is love, and that as His followers, that love is also to be seen in our lives.

I John 4:8,16 KJV
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.


Vengeance (Retaliation), Belongs To God, Alone.

Deuteronomy 32:34,35 NLT
34 “The Lord says, ‘Am I not storing up these things, sealing them away in my treasury?
35 I will take revenge; I will pay them back. In due time their feet will slip. Their day of disaster will arrive, and their destiny will overtake them.’

Psalm 11:6 KJV
Upon the wicked He shall rain snares, fire and brimstone, and an horrible tempest: this shall be the portion of their cup.

Psalm 140:7-10 KJV
7 O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
8 Grant not, O Lord, the desires of the wicked: further not his wicked device; lest they exalt themselves. Selah.
9 As for the head of those that compass me about, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
10 Let burning coals fall upon them: let them be cast into the fire; into deep pits, that they rise not up again.
Romans 2:4-8 NLT
4 Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that His kindness is intended to turn you from your sin?
5 But because you are stubborn and refuse to turn from your sin, you are storing up terrible punishment for yourself. For a day of anger is coming, when God’s righteous judgment will be revealed.
6 He will judge everyone according to what they have done.
7 He will give eternal life to those who keep on doing good, seeking after the glory and honor and immortality that God offers.
8 But He will pour out His anger and wrath on those who live for themselves, who refuse to obey the Truth and instead live lives of wickedness.

Romans 12:19,20 KJV
19 Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, saith The Lord.
20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.

II Thessalonians 1:6 NLT
In His justice He will pay back those who persecute you.


When we as God's people do good to our enemies, we heap coals of fire on their heads.

Proverbs 25:21,22 KJV
21 If thine enemy be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink:
22 For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.

Proverbs 25:21,22 NLT
21 If your enemies are hungry, give them food to eat If they are thirsty, give them water to drink.
22 You will heap burning coals of shame on their heads, and the Lord will reward you.

Mofat: In this way you make him feel a burning sense of shame.”

By our doing good as our Savior command of us, prayerfully our good works, will cause the enemies of Christ to suffer pains of guilt and remorse, leading to repentance.

The truth is, if our “enemy,” asks of us food, or drink....actually he is in much more need than just that! An enemy of God, or His people, needs to find the source of Living Bread, and Living Waters!”

Isaiah 55:1-3 KJV
1 Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.
2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labor for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto Me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto Me: hear, and your soul shall live..."

Concerning an enemy... Barth “treat him as someone in need.”
The Word:

Isaiah 58:6-11 NLT
6 “No, this is the kind of fasting I want: Free those who are wrongly imprisoned; lighten the burden of those who work for you. Let the oppressed go free, and remove the chains that bind people.
7 Share your food with the hungry, and give shelter to the homeless. Give clothes to those who need them, and do not hide from relatives who need your help.
8 “Then your salvation will come like the dawn, and your wounds will quickly heal.
Your godliness will lead you forward, and the glory of The Lord will protect you from behind.
9 Then when you call, The Lord will answer.‘Yes, I am here,’ He will quickly reply. “Remove the heavy yoke of oppression. Stop pointing your finger and spreading vicious rumors!
10 Feed the hungry, and help those in trouble. Then your light will shine out from the darkness, and the darkness around you will be as bright as noon.
11 The Lord will guide you continually, giving you water when you are dry and restoring your strength. You will be like a well-watered garden, like an ever-flowing spring.

Matthew 5:38-48 KJV
38 Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth:
39 But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil (person): but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also.
40 And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also.
41 And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain.
42 Give to him that asketh thee, and from him that would borrow of thee turn not thou away.
43 Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbor, and hate thine enemy.
44 But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you;
45 That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for He maketh His sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.
46 For if ye love them which love you, what reward have ye? do not even the publicans the same?
47 And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others? do not even the publicans so?
48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Luke 6:27-38 KJV
27 But I say unto you which hear, Love your enemies, do good to them which hate you,
28 Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you.
29 And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also.
30 Give to every man that asketh of thee; and of him that taketh away thy goods ask them not again.
31 And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
32 For if ye love them which love you, what thank have ye? for sinners also love those that love them.
33 And if ye do good to them which do good to you, what thank have ye? for sinners also do even the same.
34 And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye? for sinners also lend to sinners, to receive as much again.
35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the children of The Highest: for He is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil.
36 Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful.
37 Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
38 Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men give into your bosom. For with the same measure that ye mete withal it shall be measured to you again.

Acts 20:35 KJV
I have shewed you all things, how that so laboring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of The Lord Jesus, how He said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.

I Thessalonians 5:15 KJV
See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves, and to all men.

Heart - Of Man


Bible Questions Answered:
“All you bible thumpers are all the same. If I love to go to the bar and drink and have a smoke condemnation, condemnation, don't do this don't to that etc. etc.
What I do is my business, and is not sin! Matter of fact, a friend the other day gave me a bible verse that says what I do is not sin or wrong...so there, he said it is mark 7:15 so write that one down, I dare you to tell everyone that one!!!”
Bill/ Ulm, Germany (Baden-Wurttemberg)

Bible Text:
Mark 7:14,15,17-23 NLT
14 Then Jesus called to the crowd to come and hear. “All of you listen,” He said, “and try to understand.
15 It’s not what goes into your body that defiles you;

(But here is the rest of that verse, and teaching....)

you are defiled by what comes from your heart.”
17 Then Jesus went into a house to get away from the crowd, and His disciples asked Him what He meant by the parable He had just used.
18 “Don’t you understand either?” He asked. “Can’t you see that the food you put into your body cannot defile you?
19 Food doesn’t go into your heart, but only passes through the stomach and then goes into the sewer.” (By saying this, He declared that every kind of food is acceptable in God’s eyes.)
20 And then He added, “It is what comes from inside that defiles you.
21 For from within, out of a person’s heart, come evil thoughts, sexual immorality, theft, murder,
22 adultery, greed, wickedness, deceit, lustful desires, envy, slander, pride, and foolishness.
23 All these vile things come from within; they are what defile you.”

You say that it is not a sin to do your drinking, but What Does It Cause You To Do?
That Is Sin!

Proverbs 23:29-35 KJV
29 Who hath woe? who hath sorrow? who hath contentions? who hath babbling? who hath wounds without cause? who hath redness of eyes?
30 They that tarry long at the wine; they that go to seek mixed wine.
31 Look not thou upon the wine when it is red, when it giveth his color in the cup, when it moveth itself aright.
32 At the last it biteth like a serpent, and stingeth like an adder.
33 Thine eyes shall behold strange women, and thine heart shall utter perverse things.
34 Yea, thou shalt be as he that lieth down in the midst of the sea, or as he that lieth upon the top of a mast.
35 They have stricken me, shalt thou say, and I was not sick; they have beaten me, and I felt it not: when shall I awake? I will seek it yet again.

Homily:
Here is a term not known until the 20th Century, it is a term computer programmers defined.
GIGO, translation...Garbage In, Garbage Out.

Should a programmer inadvertently, put a programming mistake into his computer program, all would crash! And why, what had happened? By mistake he had put garbage in (a mistake), and garbage was the result.
Oh, how deceitful sin is!

God Knows The Heart:

Psalm 7:9 KJV
"...God trieth the hearts and reins (mind of man)."

Psalm 44:21 KJV
Shall not God search this out? for He knoweth the secrets of the heart.

Proverbs 17:3 KJV
The fining pot is for silver, and the furnace for gold: but the Lord trieth the hearts.

Proverbs 21:2 KJV
Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but The Lord pondereth the hearts.

Jeremiah 17:9 KJV
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Acts 1:24 KJV
And they prayed, and said, Thou, Lord, which knowest the hearts of all men..."

Acts 15:8 KJV
And God, which knoweth the hearts..."

Romans 8:27 KJV
And He that searcheth the hearts knoweth..."

I Corinthians 4:5 KJV
Therefore judge nothing before the time, until
The Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts..."

Hebrews 4:12,13 KJV
12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in His sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.

Does it matter what you put into your mind, body, soul and spirit?
Absolutely, because what you feed on is what will come from you!

The Heart Of Sinful Man:

Proverbs 12:20 KJV
Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil..."

Proverbs 12:23 KJV
"...the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.

Proverbs 15:28 KJV
"...the mouth of the wicked poureth out evil things.

Proverbs 18:12 KJV
Before destruction the heart of man is haughty..."

Ecclesiastes 7:4 KJV
"...the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

Ecclesiastes 8:11 KJV
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

Ecclesiastes 9:3 KJV
"...the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

Matthew 12:34 ,35 KJV
34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.

Matthew 15:18 KJV
But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man.

Acts 28:27 NLT
For the hearts of these people are hardened, and their ears cannot hear, and they have closed their eyes— so their eyes cannot see, and their ears cannot hear, and their hearts cannot understand, and they cannot turn to Me and let Me heal them.’

Romans 16:18 KJV
For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

God Guards The Hearts Of His People:

Psalm 19:8 NLT
The commandments of The Lord are right, bringing joy to the heart. The commands of The Lord are clear, giving insight for living.

Romans 10:10 KJV
For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Ephesians 6:6-8 NLT
6 "...As slaves of Christ, do the will of God with all your heart.
7 Work with enthusiasm, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.
8 Remember that The Lord will reward each one of us for the good we do..."

Hebrews 13:8,9 KJV
8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
9 Be not carried about with divers and strange doctrines. For it is a good thing that the heart be established with grace..."

I Peter 3:3,4 KJV
3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel;
4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price.

Ephesians 5:15-20 NLT
15 So be careful how you live. Don’t live like fools, but like those who are wise.
16 Make the most of every opportunity in these evil days.
17 Don’t act thoughtlessly, but understand what The Lord wants you to do.
18 Don’t be drunk with wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit,
19 singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to The Lord in your hearts.
20 And give thanks for everything to God The Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Psalm 19:14 KJV
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

Bible Lesson: Miracles Of The Old Testament-:The Walls Of Jericho Fall Down


Bible Lesson: Miracles Of The Old Testament: The Walls Of Jericho Fall Down.

Occasion: God Gives Israel Victory Over Their Enemies.

Location: Jericho.

Bible Text: Joshua 6:1-27 NLT (The City Of Jericho falls.)
1 Now the gates of Jericho were tightly shut because the people were afraid of the Israelites. No one was allowed to go out or in.
2 But the Lord said to Joshua, “I have given you Jericho, its king, and all its strong warriors.
3 You and your fighting men should march around the town once a day for six days.
4 Seven priests will walk ahead of the Ark, each carrying a ram’s horn. On the seventh day you are to march around the town seven times, with the priests blowing the horns.
5 When you hear the priests give one long blast on the rams’ horns, have all the people shout as loud as they can. Then the walls of the town will collapse (KJV: the wall of the city shall fall down flat), and the people can charge straight into the town.”
6 So Joshua called together the priests and said, “Take up The Ark Of The Lord’s Covenant, and assign seven priests to walk in front of it, each carrying a ram’s horn.”
7 Then he gave orders to the people: “March around the town, and the armed men will lead the way in front of The Ark Of The Lord.”
8 After Joshua spoke to the people, the seven priests with the rams’ horns started marching in the presence of The Lord, blowing the horns as they marched. And The Ark Of The Lord’s Covenant followed behind them.
9 Some of the armed men marched in front of the priests with the horns and some behind The Ark, with the priests continually blowing the horns.
10 “Do not shout; do not even talk,” Joshua commanded. “Not a single word from any of you until I tell you to shout. Then shout!”
11 So The Ark Of The Lord was carried around the town once that day, and then everyone returned to spend the night in the camp.
12 Joshua got up early the next morning, and the priests again carried The Ark Of The Lord.
13 The seven priests with the rams’ horns marched in front of The Ark Of The Lord, blowing their horns. Again the armed men marched both in front of the priests with the horns and behind The Ark Of The Lord. All this time the priests were blowing their horns.
14 On the second day they again marched around the town once and returned to the camp. They followed this pattern for six days.
15 On the seventh day the Israelites got up at dawn and marched around the town as they had done before. But this time they went around the town seven times.
16 The seventh time around, as the priests sounded the long blast on their horns, Joshua commanded the people, “Shout! For The Lord has given you the town!
17 Jericho and everything in it must be completely destroyed as an offering to The Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute and the others in her house will be spared, for she protected our spies. (Read Rahab's story in Joshua Chapter two.)
18 “Do not take any of the things set apart for destruction, or you yourselves will be completely destroyed, and you will bring trouble on the camp of Israel.
19 Everything made from silver, gold, bronze, or iron is sacred to the Lord and must be brought into His treasury.”
20 When the people heard the sound of the rams’ horns, they shouted as loud as they could. Suddenly, the walls of Jericho collapsed (KJV: the wall fell down flat.), and the Israelites charged straight into the town and captured it.
21 They completely destroyed everything in it with their swords—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep, goats, and donkeys.
22 Meanwhile, Joshua said to the two spies, “Keep your promise. Go to the prostitute’s house and bring her out, along with all her family.”
23 The men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, mother, brothers, and all the other relatives who were with her. They moved her whole family to a safe place near the camp of Israel.
24 Then the Israelites burned the town and everything in it. Only the things made from silver, gold, bronze, or iron were kept for the treasury of the Lord’s house.
25 So Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute and her relatives who were with her in the house, because she had hidden the spies Joshua sent to Jericho. And she lives among the Israelites to this day.
26 At that time Joshua invoked this curse: “May the curse of the Lord fall on anyone who tries to rebuild the town of Jericho. At the cost of his firstborn son, he will lay its foundation.
At the cost of his youngest son, he will set up its gates.”
27 So the Lord was with Joshua, and his reputation spread throughout the land.

Someone special had come to Joshua, to give him instructions....that someone was the pre-incarnate Lord Jesus Christ.

Theophany: From the Ancient Greek θεοφάνεια (theophaneia,[1] meaning "appearance of God"),[2] refers to the appearance of a deity to a human or other being, or to a divine disclosure.
Wikipedia

Joshua 5:13-16 NLT (Joshua is confronted by (KJV) The Captain Of The Host Of The Lord -
(NLT The Commander Of The Lord’s Army.)
13 When Joshua was near the town of Jericho, he looked up and saw a Man standing in front of him with sword in hand. Joshua went up to Him and demanded, “Are you friend or foe?”
14 “Neither one,” He replied. “I am The Commander Of The Lord’s Army.”
At this, Joshua fell with his face to the ground in reverence. “I am at your command,” Joshua said. “What do you want your servant to do?”
15 The commander Of The Lord’s Army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did as he was told.

Joshua 6:1-2 NLT
1 Now the gates of Jericho were tightly shut because the people were afraid of the Israelites. No one was allowed to go out or in.
2 But the Lord said to Joshua, “I have given you Jericho, its king, and all its strong warriors.

The Lord had come to give victory to His people, total victory over their enemies!

Praise the name of our Lord, The Captain Of The Host Of The Lord, He has given “us,” victory over our enemies (spiritual, or natural.)

Psalm 44:4-8 KJV
4 Thou art my King, O God: command deliverance's for (God's people)..."
5 Through thee will we push down our enemies: through thy name will we tread them under that rise up against us.
6 For I will not trust in my bow, neither shall my sword save me.
7 But thou hast saved us from our enemies, and hast put them to shame that hated us.
8 In God we boast all the day long, and praise thy name for ever. Selah.

Luke 10:19 KJV
Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over ALL the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

For the “full-explanation,” of this verse be sure to stop here, and read the blog posting! …...

Romans 8:35,37,38,39 KJV
35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
37 Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him that loved us.
38 For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come,
39 Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

I John 5:1-5 NLT
1 Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ has become a child of God. And everyone who loves the Father loves His children, too.
2 We know we love God’s children if we love God and obey His commandments.
3 Loving God means keeping His commandments, and His commandments are not burdensome.
4 For every child of God defeats this evil world, and we achieve this victory through our faith.
5 And who can win this battle against the world? Only those who believe that Jesus is The Son Of God.

Revelation 15:2 KJV (Song of Moses and The Lamb Of God.)
2 I saw before me what seemed to be a glass sea mixed with fire. And on it stood all the people who had been victorious over the beast and his statue and the number representing his name. They were all holding harps that God had given them.
3 And they were singing the song of Moses, the servant of God, and the song of The Lamb:
Great and marvelous are your works, O Lord God, The Almighty. Just and true are your ways,
O King Of The Nations.
4 Who will not fear you, Lord, and glorify your name? For you alone are holy. All nations will come and worship before you, for your righteous deeds have been revealed.”

The Lord had a victorious plan of attack, for Joshua.

Joshua 6:3-5 NLT
3 You and your fighting men should march around the town once a day for six days.
4 Seven priests will walk ahead of the Ark, each carrying a ram’s horn.
On the seventh day you are to march around the town seven times, with the priests blowing the horns.
5 When you hear the priests give one long blast on the rams’ horns, have all the people shout as loud as they can.
Then the walls of the town will collapse (KJV: the wall of the city shall fall down flat), and the people can charge straight into the town.”

To be successful in life, howbeit spiritual or natural, we must follow the guidelines of our Commander And Chief!
Exodus 15:26 KJV
And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of The Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am The Lord That Healeth Thee.

Psalm 119:8-12 KJV
8 I will keep thy statutes...
9 Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
10 With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
11 Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
12 Blessed art thou, O Lord: teach me thy statutes.

Proverbs 8:32 KJV
Now therefore hearken unto Me, O ye children: for blessed are they that keep My ways.

Malachi 2:4-6 NLT
4 Then at last you will know it was I who sent you this warning so that My covenant with the Levites can continue,” says The Lord Of Heaven’s Armies.
5 “The purpose of My covenant with the Levites was to bring life and peace, and that is what I gave them. This required reverence from them, and they greatly revered Me and stood in awe of My name.
6 They passed on to the people the Truth of the instructions they received from Me. They did not lie or cheat; they walked with Me, living good and righteous lives, and they turned many from lives of sin.

I John 1:7 KJV
But if we walk in the light, as He is in the Light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.

Joshua 6:5-16 NLT
5 When you hear the priests give one long blast on the rams’ horns, have all the people shout as loud as they can. Then the walls of the town will collapse (KJV: the wall of the city shall fall down flat), and the people can charge straight into the town.”
6 So Joshua called together the priests and said, “Take up The Ark Of The Lord’s Covenant, and assign seven priests to walk in front of it, each carrying a ram’s horn.”
7 Then he gave orders to the people: “March around the town, and the armed men will lead the way in front of The Ark Of The Lord.”
8 After Joshua spoke to the people, the seven priests with the rams’ horns started marching in the presence of The Lord, blowing the horns as they marched. And The Ark Of The Lord’s Covenant followed behind them.
9 Some of the armed men marched in front of the priests with the horns and some behind The Ark, with the priests continually blowing the horns.
10 “Do not shout; do not even talk,” Joshua commanded. “Not a single word from any of you until I tell you to shout. Then shout!”
11 So The Ark Of The Lord was carried around the town once that day, and then everyone returned to spend the night in the camp.
12 Joshua got up early the next morning, and the priests again carried The Ark Of The Lord.
13 The seven priests with the rams’ horns marched in front of The Ark Of The Lord, blowing their horns. Again the armed men marched both in front of the priests with the horns and behind The Ark Of The Lord. All this time the priests were blowing their horns.
14 On the second day they again marched around the town once and returned to the camp. They followed this pattern for six days.
15 On the seventh day the Israelites got up at dawn and marched around the town as they had done before. But this time they went around the town seven times.
16 The seventh time around, as the priests sounded the long blast on their horns, Joshua commanded the people, “Shout! For The Lord has given you the town!

Faith Is The Victory

Lyrics: John Henry Yates
Music: Ira David Sankey

Encamped along the hills of light,
Ye Christian soldiers, rise,
And press the battle ere the night
Shall veil the glowing skies.
Against the foe in vales below,
Let all our strength be hurled;
Faith is the victory, we know,
That overcomes the world.

His banner over us in love,
Our sword the Word of God;
We tread the road the saints above
With shouts of triumph trod.
By faith they, like whirlwind's breath,
Swept on o'er ev'ry field;
The faith by which they conquered death
Is still our shining shield.

To him who overcomes the foe
White raiment shall be giv'n;
Before the angels he shall know
His name confessed in heav'n.
Then onward from the hills of light,
Our hearts with love aflame;
We'll vanquish all the hosts of night,
In Jesus' conq'ring name.

Chorus:
Faith is the victory!
Faith is the victory!
Oh, glorious victory
That overcomes the world.

Joshua 6:17 NLT
Jericho and everything in it must be completely destroyed as an offering to The Lord. Only Rahab the prostitute and the others in her house will be spared, for she protected our spies. (Read Rahab's story in Joshua Chapter two.)

Praise the Lord, people who turn to God, are spared, judgment!

Luke 21:36 KJV
Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before The Son Of Man.

I Corinthians 15:57 KJV (Read verses 51-58.)
But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

I Thessalonians 1:9,10 NLT
9 for they keep talking about the wonderful welcome you gave us and how you turned away from idols to serve The Living And True God.
10 And they speak of how you are looking forward to the coming of God’s Son from heaven—Jesus, whom God raised from the dead. He is the One who has rescued us from the terrors of the coming judgment.

I Thessalonians 4:13 KJV, (Read verses 13-18)
13...sorrow not...
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.

II Peter 2:7-9 NLT
7 But God also rescued Lot out of Sodom because he was a righteous man who was sick of the shameful immorality of the wicked people around him.
8 Yes, Lot was a righteous man who was tormented in his soul by the wickedness he saw and heard day after day.
9 So you see, the Lord knows how to rescue godly people from their trials, even while keeping the wicked under punishment until the day of final judgment.

Genesis 19:21,22 NLT
21 “All right,” the angel said, “I will grant your request. I will not destroy the little village (Zoar).
22 But hurry! Escape to it, for I can do nothing (The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah.) until you arrive there.”

Revelation 3:10 KJV (Christ's promise to the Church of Philadelphia.)
Because thou hast kept the word of My patience, I also will keep thee from the hour of temptation, which shall come upon all the world, to try them that dwell upon the earth.

Revelation 17:8 KJV
The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, ( Who on earth shall wonder after the beast?) whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world (Not God's people, for they have been raptured to be with Christ, before his appearance.), when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.

In the book of Revelation, the church is absent from the scene from Revelation 4:1-22:17.

Joshua 6:18-27 NLT
18 “Do not take any of the things set apart for destruction, or you yourselves will be completely destroyed, and you will bring trouble on the camp of Israel.
19 Everything made from silver, gold, bronze, or iron is sacred to the Lord and must be brought into His treasury.”
20 When the people heard the sound of the rams’ horns, they shouted as loud as they could. Suddenly, the walls of Jericho collapsed (KJV: the wall fell down flat.), and the Israelites charged straight into the town and captured it.
21 They completely destroyed everything in it with their swords—men and women, young and old, cattle, sheep, goats, and donkeys.
22 Meanwhile, Joshua said to the two spies, “Keep your promise. Go to the prostitute’s house and bring her out, along with all her family.”
23 The men who had been spies went in and brought out Rahab, her father, mother, brothers, and all the other relatives who were with her. They moved her whole family to a safe place near the camp of Israel.
24 Then the Israelites burned the town and everything in it. Only the things made from silver, gold, bronze, or iron were kept for the treasury of the Lord’s house.
25 So Joshua spared Rahab the prostitute and her relatives who were with her in the house, because she had hidden the spies Joshua sent to Jericho. And she lives among the Israelites to this day.
26 At that time Joshua invoked this curse: “May the curse of the Lord fall on anyone who tries to rebuild the town of Jericho. At the cost of his firstborn son, he will lay its foundation.
At the cost of his youngest son, he will set up its gates.”
27 So the Lord was with Joshua, and his reputation spread throughout the land.

Praise the Lord, ever more, He Keep's His Promises!

15 That is why He is the One who mediates a new covenant between God and people, so that all who are called can receive the eternal inheritance God has promised them. For Christ died to set them free from the penalty of the sins they had committed under that first covenant.

Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for He is faithful that promised;)

13 Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.

I John 2:25 KJV
And this is the promise that He hath promised us, even eternal life.

Have you made the Lord Jesus Christ, the Commander and Chief, the Savior of your life?
Don't delay!

Love Versus Lust


Bible Questions Answered:
“...if its love, than it can't be wrong....”
Jason/ London, United Kingdom England

Bible Answer:

LOVE: Comes from God.
I John 4:16 KJV
And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.

LUST: Comes from Satan.
Galatians 5:16 KJV
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

I John 2:16,17 KJV
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.


LOVE: God's unselfish loves saves.
John 3:16 KJV
For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

Acts 2:21 KJV
And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.

Romans 5:8 KJV
But God commendeth His love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.

I Corinthians 13:4-7 KJV
4 Charity (love) suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,
5 Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil;
6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth;
7 Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.

LUST: Selfishly destroys.
Romans 1:24-31 NLT
24 So God abandoned them to do whatever shameful things their hearts desired. As a result, they did vile and degrading things with each other’s bodies.
25 They traded the truth about God for a lie. So they worshiped and served the things God created instead of the Creator Himself, who is worthy of eternal praise! Amen.
26 That is why God abandoned them to their shameful desires. Even the women turned against the natural way to have sex and instead indulged in sex with each other.
27 And the men, instead of having normal sexual relations with women, burned with lust for each other. Men did shameful things with other men, and as a result of this sin, they suffered within themselves the penalty they deserved.
28 Since they thought it foolish to acknowledge God, He abandoned them to their foolish thinking and let them do things that should never be done.
29 Their lives became full of every kind of wickedness, sin, greed, hate, envy, murder, quarreling, deception, malicious behavior, and gossip.
30 They are backstabbers, haters of God, insolent, proud, and boastful. They invent new ways of sinning, and they disobey their parents.
31 They refuse to understand, break their promises, are heartless, and have no mercy.
32 They know God’s justice requires that those who do these things deserve to die, yet they do them anyway. Worse yet, they encourage others to do them, too.

Titus 2:12 NLT
And we are instructed to turn from godless living and sinful pleasures..."


LOVE: Beautifies the soul.
I Corinthians 6:19 NLT
"... your body is the temple of The Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God..."

LUST: Destroys the soul.
I Peter 2:11 KJV
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;


LOVE: Godly, gives life.
Proverbs 10:16 KJV
The labor of the righteous tendeth to life: the fruit of the wicked to sin.

Proverbs 11:19 KJV
As righteousness tendeth to life: so he that pursueth evil pursueth it to his own death.

Proverbs 19:23 KJV
The fear of the Lord tendeth to life: and he that hath it shall abide satisfied..."

Galatians 5:22-25 NLT
22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!
24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to His cross and crucified them there.
25 Since we are living by The Spirit, let us follow The Spirit’s leading in every part of our lives.

James 1:12 NLT
God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation. Afterward they will receive the crown of life that God has promised to those who love Him.

LUST: Leads to spiritual death.
I John 2:15-17 KJV
15 Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

Galatians 5:19-25 NLT
19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, the results are very clear: sexual immorality, impurity, lustful pleasures,
20 idolatry, sorcery, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, dissension, division,
21 envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other sins like these. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

James 1:14,15 KJV
14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn away of his own lust, and enticed.
15 Then when lust hath conceived, it bringeth forth sin: and sin, when it is finished, bringeth forth death.


LOVE: God in His love, gives His Word:
Psalm 33:4 KJV
For the word of the Lord is right; and all His works are done in Truth.

LUST: Chokes Out The Word:
Mark 4:19 KJV
And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in, choke the word, and it becometh unfruitful.


LOVE: God's wealth consists not of earthly things.
Matthew 6:19-21 KJV
19 Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20 But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal:
21 For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also.

LUST: Worldly wealth.
I Timothy 6:9 KJV
But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition.

I John 2:16,17 KJV
16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world.
17 And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.


LOVE: God's, saves from corruption.
II Peter 1:4 KJV
Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

LUST: Sinners lives trapped in spiritual corruption.
Ephesians 4:22 NLT
throw off your old sinful nature and your former way of life, which is corrupted by lust and deception.

Christian Admonition:

Romans 6:12 KJV
Let not sin therefore reign in your mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

Romans 13:14 KJV
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfill the lusts thereof.

Galatians 5:16 KJV
This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh.

II Peter 2:9 KJV
The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out of temptations..."

Colossians 3:1-17 NLT
1 Since you have been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand.
2 Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth.
3 For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.
4 And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you will share in all His glory.
5 So put to death the sinful, earthly things lurking within you. Have nothing to do with sexual immorality, impurity, lust, and evil desires. Don’t be greedy, for a greedy person is an idolater, worshiping the things of this world.
6 Because of these sins, the anger of God is coming.
7 You used to do these things when your life was still part of this world.
8 But now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language.
9 Don’t lie to each other, for you have stripped off your old sinful nature and all its wicked deeds.
10 Put on your new nature, and be renewed as you learn to know your Creator and become like Him.
11 In this new life, it doesn’t matter if you are a Jew or a Gentile, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbaric, uncivilized, slave, or free. Christ is all that matters, and He lives in all of us.
12 Since God chose you to be the holy people He loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.
13 Make allowance for each others faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others.
14 Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.
15 And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.
16 Let the message about Christ, in all its richness, fill your lives. Teach and counsel each other with all the wisdom he gives. Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs to God with thankful hearts.
17 And whatever you do or say, do it as a representative of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

Hairs-All Numbered


Bible Questions Answered:
“Why would god want to count the hairs on our heads?”
Roxanne/ Philadelphia, Pennsylvania U.S.A.

Bible Answer:

Bible Text:
Matthew 10:28-31 NLT (Read also verses 16-42.)
28 “Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
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.

The context of this verse is that of dreading enemies. And our Lord's reply was verses 28-31.
Christians are “not,” to dread enemies. The only one to be feared is God, who may kill both body and soul, in hell.

Our God possess perfect and unlimited wisdom. Yes, He knows the hairs on our head, and He calls all the stars by name.

Nothing happens that He is not aware of!!
Things in creation happen by the following means.
By God's direct will, or God's permissive will.
God's permissive will, means it is not of His will, but He allows it.
It is the evil one's lie that things happen by luck. There is no such thing as luck.

2 Thou knowest my down sitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off.

4 For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether.
5 Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.
6 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

3 And shall make Him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and He shall not judge after the sight of His eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of His ears:
4 But with righteousness shall He judge..."

for I do whatever I wish.

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.

Matthew 13:54 KJV
And when He was come into His own country, He taught them in their synagogue, insomuch that they were astonished, and said, Whence hath this Man this wisdom, and these mighty works?

3 In Him lie hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
