    The best I can do for God is to give Him my heart in full.

      God Speaks to us in our hearts, but we don’t hear Him cuz our hearts are in silent mode.
      Why not be prophets?
      Prophets are willing to sacrifice their own lives for God, it’s the Glory of God (the very own Heart of God) they are after.
      Thank you & God bless you for I loved your preaching.
      True, the Glory of God is to hide.

    Today I am sick and so I turned to hear a message from the Lord and this came on. It is a blessing to me because we are in a ministry to win souls to Jesus by helping troubled kids find a new path that they can journey on to change their lives. With this comes staff to help them and trying to keep them from not being discouraged and to expect that the devil will attack when we are doing the will of the Lord. I was so blessed today. Thank you!

    wow and wow. You can live in a house falling apart. Take baths in dirty rainwater water caught in buckets dripping from the roof. Drink water from the well pulled up by a rusty bucket. Chop wood and gather the unsavory wood to keep warm and cook beans on the stove. Take the scraps of others clothing. And such. But all the while the soul being washed clean. All the secret faults being pulled up and out. Thank you fellow servant for this good meat!

    Dear God🙏♥️💕 in heaven, I come to you in the name of Jesus. I acknowledge to You that I am a sinner, and I am sorry for my sins and the life that I have lived; I need your forgiveness.
    I believe that your only begotten Son Jesus Christ shed His precious blood on the cross at Calvary and died for my sins, and I am now willing to turn from my sin.
    You said in the bible that if we confess the Lord our God and believe in our hearts that God raised Jesus from the dead, we shall be saved.
    Right now I confess Jesus as my Lord. With my heart, I believe that God raised Jesus from the dead. This very moment I accept Jesus Christ as my own personal Savior and according to His Word, right now I am saved. Amen.

    🙏“Padre, sé que he violado tus leyes y mis pecados me han separado de ti. Realmente lo siento, y ahora quiero alejarme de mi vida pecaminosa pasada hacia ti. Perdóname y ayúdame a evitar volver a pecar. Creo que su hijo, Jesucristo, murió por mis pecados, resucitó de entre los muertos, está vivo y escucha mi oración. Invito a Jesús a convertirse en el Señor de mi vida, a gobernar y reinar en mi corazón desde este día en adelante. Por favor envía tu Espíritu Santo para ayudarme a obedecerte y hacer tu voluntad por el resto de mi vida. En el nombre de Jesús oro, Amén "

    The Gospel of salvation of our souls: 💜💕💜💖💞💜💕For what I received I passed on to you as of [first importance]: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time,

    Querido Deus🙏no céu, venho até você em nome de Jesus. Reconheço-te que sou um pecador e sinto muito pelos meus pecados e pela vida que tenho vivido; Eu preciso do seu perdão.
    Eu creio que o seu filho unigênito Jesus Cristo derramou Seu sangue precioso na cruz no Calvário e morreu por meus pecados, e agora estou disposto a abandonar meus pecados.
    Você disse na bíblia que se confessarmos o Senhor nosso Deus e crermos em nossos corações que Deus ressuscitou Jesus dos mortos, seremos salvos.
    Agora mesmo eu confesso Jesus como meu Senhor. De coração, acredito que Deus ressuscitou Jesus dos mortos. Neste exato momento eu aceito Jesus Cristo como meu Salvador pessoal e de acordo com Sua Palavra, agora estou salvo. Um homem.

    Evangelio para la salvación de tus almas💞💕💜💕❤💞💕💜
    Porque ante todo les transmití a ustedes lo que yo mismo recibí: que Cristo murió por nuestros pecados según las Escrituras, que fue sepultado, que resucitó al tercer día según las Escrituras, y que se apareció a Pedro, y luego a los doce. Después se apareció a más de quinientos hermanos a la vez,

    1- God hid him
    Cherith is the place where God withholds what you wanted most.
    God will take you to Cherith before He takes you to Carmel
    When God chooses to hide you for a time, He is preparing you for a greater purpose
    2- God led him
    The word of the Lord came to Him
    The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps. Proverbs 16:9
    Ask 'What is the best I can do for my God?' Then read your heart and use your judgement.
    3- God fed him
    You shall drink from the brook, and I have commanded the ravens to feed you there.
    God can deliver life sustaining food through unclean birds.
    Service is never a substitute for holiness.
    At Cherith we learn to live on God.

    Ahaz was a evil guy trying to kill Elisa. and whats wrong with saying that god protected him BY removing him. I think this story is about gods manifestation of his power and a story about god and his nation rather than a parallel between Elisha and us. Not everyone is a prophet!!! 1 Corinthians 12:29. This guy is finding some scary parallels.

    그리스도는 하나님 만나는 유일한 길입니다.
    그리스도는 당신이 해결할 수 없는 죄와 저주를 해결하셨습니다.
    그리스도는 십자가에서 사탄의 머리를 깨뜨렸습니다. 그리스도가 곧 예수입니다. 그대가 예수를 믿으면 죄와 저주에서 영원히 해방되며 하나님의 자녀가 됩니다. 예수를 믿고 영접하세요.

    Why read our hearts and use our judgments when the Lord has given us the Holy Spirit? Why not just ask the Holy Spirit?
