2 Samuel 23:6 Paul's thorn.

      Because the bible has so much to reveal what Paul's thorn is, we will work together.  What we will do is give key words to help you look up the scriptures given to you. This is what real bible study is about.

      1.  notice in 2 Sam. 23:6  both words are used.  thorn and Belial.   Now read 2 N.T. passages.  Paul still speaks like a Jew.  A.  2 Cor. 6:15  Belial is a infidel.   B.  2 Cor. 12:7  the messenger of Satan is a thorn in his flesh.  Remember he is preaching the word and pleasing God.  This would be enough but there is more.

       2.   3 passages--- Num. 33:55  Joshua 23:13  Judges 2:3   in these 3  the thorns is always relating to being people.

       3.   Ps. 118:10-12   the nations are a bunch of thorns , In David's time they were against Israel. They also are like bees.  ( fig. of speech).

       Prov. 22:5  thorns here relate to snares. 

       4.  Isa. 10:17-18  God who is light, shall now be a fire.  and shall burn his thorns and briers. v.18.  you can see soul and body are his forest not a literal forest.  185,000 died in one day.

       5.  Ezekiel 2:6  reveals a lot.  Their words are the thorns.  They are a rebellious house.  each person was spiritually called a house.  Jesus called himself a temple he would restore in 3 days. Jn.2.

       6.  Nahum 1:10  first they are drunkards then they are thorns.   see Num. 33:55  pricks in eyes and thorns in sides.  who are they?  the people of the land they are to drive out.

      You will always see the Hebrews using pictures in their speech.  Ancient Hebrew was always written in pictures.  parables are pictures.    food for thought.  It appears that  the  thorn idea comes from the curse in the garden.  In my words bad people are like a curse of thorns from their mouth.  Their words are like piercing. Even as sharp as swords.  death and life are in the power of the tongue.  Prov. 18:21  Chap. 18 is full of wisdom.

A new look at prayer. # 1

      Wait a minute  In Luke chap. 11:1  The disciples of Jesus are standing right there with him.  They are seeing that they must pray to the  Father. verse 2  he shows a little about prayer.  It is  a tremendous great prayer.  Years ago when I saw this the question arose, doesn't seem like you have to learn to pray, just talk to God.  Many Christians pray without answers and they get discouraged.  They have this idea that God will hear and do whatever.  What is the key to unlock this mystery?   We must believe.  Look at Rom. 14:23.  This is a powerful example.  If they eat but with doubt they are sinning.  God hears not sinners. John 9:31 if you worship God and do his will, then he hears.

     Therefore they who pray and don't know how, plus they doubt will not be heard.  So if they worship in Spirit and in truth and do his will, he hears them. 

     Lk. 5:20  Is faith needed yes to this man his sins ere forgiven--by his faith.  That will be where you can start-- believe your sins are forgiven.  

     My desire in this series is to help you, not condemn you.  all we are is disciples.  Climb on board-- God has answered so many prayers for me I cannot count them all.  One example--I have had people I don't even know, and not at a church, hand me money.  Only thing I did was worship and serve God, only using faith and ( no other modern day gimmicks)  just pray and believe.     God bless.

One word in Greek can save a church.

      In times like these, perilous, every word in the bible is important.  There is a great falling away from The faith, as well as many new born sheep who are taught very little.  Have you you heard things like doctrine is not important,or just love people no matter who they are.  Preachers who can cheat on their wives still hold high positions, like TV.   People like John Ha gee  who cheated on his wife and then sells a book teaching Jesus is not the Messiah.  They still follow.  Notice he speaks as though he is Billy Graham, trying to sound like a great man of God.  my concern is the rejecting of the Holy Spirit and also teaching give to get covetousness.  

     The Greek word that many need to know is krino. G2919  1Cor.62,4,5,  the word judge is used.  In 1Cor. 14:29 diakrino is used G1252 that is discerning--contending.    Now look at Jude 1:9.  G1252  contending is used again.  Now the dia separated from the krino is G1223  dia means, judge, separate withdraw,  discriminate, separate with a hostile spirit.     G2919  krino means, distinguish, decide, damn, judge, call into question.   

     In John 3:18  we have G2919  krino condemned.  The same word in H4941  Mishpat  much on judging variables.  then   see H8199  shaphat  judge,  pronounce a sentence against.  

      Here is the key:  John 7:24  judge righteous judgement.   

     In Proverbs 28:4-5  They that forsake the law, praise the wicked, but such as keep the law (contend) with them.  law is the word of God today.  v.5  evil men don't understand judgement, but they that seek the Lord understand all things.    I will let you do your own homework. search and you will find what is creeping into the church  of today.  

     1Cor. 10:19-22  If you worship idols and partake of the bread and cup, you sacrifice to devils.  That is a example of judging.  millions follow that religion.  Only the Pope partakes and calls it the literal body and blood are being swallowed.  Jesus called it a symbol token, to remember him, not Mary.  

My true desires is to protect the sheep of the flock.  The teacher here is deep, take your time and be a Berean at heart.  Pray first then study.

my lift Jesus higher youtube song and persecution exp.

      I am not angry at anyone, just wanted to show a lot of unseen things are happening to us Christians.

     a long time ago, posted a song which is in the above title.  After 2-3 days received a copy write notice which could result in losing my spot on the tube. At that time the song could be deleted.  Well I did some homework and found out the person was not a Christian, but a heavy metal musician and was into witch craft.  No hate from me , God bless them.  As a result I remixed the music with same lyrics.  Haven't released it yet.  The song praise God is much better now.

     While here would like to say, watching the House of Abraham  which is rising in Jerusalem, is a good follow.  three buildings in one spot.  1. Jewish  2  Islam  3  Catholic.   So far seeing this have one insight.

1.  The Jews put Jesus on the cross.  I love Jews and I know the true covenant of Abraham reveals their salvation during the tribulation period. Along with some Jews saved even now.  They said he blasphemes and says he is God's son.   That's why he went to the cross as sinning against Moses law.

2.   Islam,  denies God (Allah had no son)    1Jn. 2:18  the last times (days)  had already started then, as John reveals.  He says there are many antichrists. (    a spirit.)    v.22  after v.18  shows they deny the Christ and they deny the Father and the son.  

3.   Catholics exalt Mary above Jesus.  the Latin three tier crown has a Gematria of 666.  also above the gate is 666.   In 1 Peter 4:3  one thing Peter Jesus Apostle, in time past we walked in abominable idolatresses.    You will find idols all over the place.  Peter preached follow me.  Paul same , as I follow Christ.        The Pope claims to be in the place of God's son.  His cup of wine is supposed to be literally Christ's blood.  a cup of abomination.

     Why the stink?  because Jerusalem belongs to Jesus and the believers in Christ.  I see a prophetical picture.  Someone will come to steal Jesus election to the throne.  It is temporary Jesus will return and take his place.

#5 manchild healing versus false pics.

      God is getting ready to bring a period of revival before he raptures the over comers.  Satan is manifesting false healing, while much criticism is arising from false ministry and prophets (so called).  Also for me to say that will even be down trodden.  In 2 Cor. 11:14  we see Satan is transformed into a angel of light. 

Matt. 24:24  we have more false ministry who do signs and wonders so big that (if it were possible deceive the elect.  Elect won't be deceived for the Holy Spirit is in them showing what is of God or not.  We must be encouraged that God has opened our eyes.  We wouldn't be wearing armor of light if we weren't in a battle, we fight the good fight of faith.  Our job is to pull people out of the fire, not retreat.  Jude 1:23  

As we hear God's voice he will reveal his wisdom,  it will come and show what to do for each situation. The world cannot stop God from doing his sovereign will. The false is designed to discourage us, God has greater plans.  His Gideon army is drinking the water of his word wisely.  

John 14:12  Jesus tells us here that we will do his works and even greater ones. Because he has gone back to the father and sent the Holy Spirit.  When Elijah left Elisha, we see Elisha did twice as many works as Elijah.  Seek the baptism of Jesus in Acts 2 with tongues and you will have God show you a clear path leading to eternal life.

Gog and Magog pictured in Ukraine , God will protect Israel.

      I am sorry but cannot put video here till I learn how. I used to be able to.  Will share with you what I thought about,when the news of Ukraine and Russia came out.  Ezekiel 38 and 39 talk about the Gog and Magog attack prepared for Israel.  If it weren't for God and his son Jesus, we see what would happen like it has to Ukraine.  That is really deep thoughts there.  Also how easy to see just what Russia can do so quickly.  For us who know what time it is, this should quicken our faith.  God will do what he says he will do.  all mankind is not safe from communist countries but his people are under great divine protection.  His covenant of protection is awesome.  God is faithful and the greatest king ever.   Must say there are plenty of videos on my you tube channel.  David T. Coleman channel. try searching first for song (the table is ready) God bless.

#4 Holy Spirit and kundalini experience analised

     Not many people have the wonderful experience of the Holy Spirit.  The initial evidence of the baptism is speaking in tongues.  The churches of most years after the churches of Asia, 7 of them do not believe the baptism with tongues is for today.  What is quite amazing is now many will receive without question , that which is called the Holy Spirit.  It is really a Hindu kundalini spirit.  tongues is really a lot easier than shaking crazy or falling down under a power.  That is because  tongues is something that can be made up.  Those who truly receive the baptism are the ones who do have a feeling if they use genuine faith.  

     I have received the real thing and God is so very gentle.  Here is the great thing that yoga tries to duplicate.  In John chapter 4  Jesus says to the woman at the well,  out of your belly shall flow rivers of living water.  John chapter 7 shows that water of the word is the Holy Spirit.  

     How it works.  tongues is the primer which operates from the mouth.  not like yoga which starts at the buttocks.  Then the mind fills with the word of God , mostly revelation and God's wisdom.  That wisdom  is a growth for those who are new or babes in Christ.  As you mature in a life of faith and righteousness, the kingdom of God grows  in you,  The highest attainment will be a flowing from within of wisdom and deeper understanding of the word of God.  I humbly witness  to that because I have written down what you could call it a encyclopedia of things that are secret to even the church today.  As a matter of fact I don't think  many with the baptism know what  I am talking about, because they have no teaching about it.  They can read this paragraph again and learn  how wonderful Jesus is by seeking to go beyond the doorstep and looking in and climbing the ladder.  (not the spine) (my pun).

Get free from hindering spirits and walk according God's word daily crucify self and life passions and seek the things which are above and not the earth.  Whatever you do in word or deed do all in the name of Jesus.  Remember lay not hands on suddenly especially where the third eye is.  We as God's  sons are the apple of God's eye. tempt is the lust of the flesh and eyes and the pride of life.  to be spiritually minded is life and peace.  carnal physical experience is flesh. and death  slaying.
