I'm sorry for your struggles Lion Heart but many times God has answered my prayers. Now I want to make sure you do not take that as a slam against you saying you haven't had your prayers answered. It sometimes takes removing hindrances to prayer to have your prayers answered. It doesn't mean you are bad or God doesn't love you it only means that sometimes we have things that block the prayers. I just want to encourage you that God DOES answer prayers and if you don't give up He will answer yours if you come to Him in the right manner. Don't read anymore into to that just know there is a way to approach God. It just takes learning how.
Not so Lion Heart but I won't try to convince you here.
I'm not talking about modern day predictions I'm talking about Bible prophecies. These predictions that try to predict the coming of the Lord are wrong. In Mat. 24 Jesus said no man knows that hour. Although there are many signs which point to the time when it will happen no one can know the day.
Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
People are foolish and in error when they give dates as to when the Lord will return. It is okay to look at the signs of the times and know the time is close but we cannot predict a date. We can speculate but could be off by hundreds of years. One great sign is that Israel is now a nation. They have not been a nation for for almost 2000 years and Jesus' reference to the blossoming of the fig tree is believed to be a reference of them coming back as a nation. In reference to that Jesus said this is just the "beginning" of things coming. What does "beginning" mean? Five years? Ten years? Fifty years? We don't know for sure. If we look at other scriptures in regards to this we can see that He says,
"Mat 24:32 Now learn a parable of the fig tree; When his branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know that summer is nigh:
Mat 24:33 So likewise ye, when ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors.
Mat 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
What in unknown is how long is a generation? Is he referring to Israel here? We can only keep our eyes open and be ready and be aware. It seems to be close at hand now and I only tell you these things so you can be aware of what is coming. How you respond, of course, is up to you.
That has happened and many other healings. And it is still happening in this day and age. Miracles still happen. That's what I'm trying to tell you.
That is how God has chosen to tell people the good news by using the foolishness of preaching. He knows some people are on a high horse and think they deserve it right from the top themselves but if you want to hear from the Top you have to go His way. So I'm going to let you tell Him. He can hear you. I suggest you use a little humility, though.
Maybe sometime you could tell me how or what you were believing. I know lots of times people miss it because what they thought was the way to God was not. There is way that seems right to man but the end is the way of death.
