Comments

  1. Many people equate eternity as a very long time or an eternal amount of time but in the case of God, eternal existence does not have time. There is no clock to watch in eternity it just is.

    Time is a creation of God just as space is a creation of God and all exist in the mind of God or in God because nothing can exist outside of the sphere of God.

    If we forget about God, He continues to exist and to be but if God forgets about us in particular or the universe in general,even for just a secoond of time, then we do cease to exist and to have our being.

    “For in him we live, and move, and have our being;…”
    -Acts 17:28

    When Jesus died on the cross He was seperated from His Father for an eternity or an eternal existance with the Father. Never had the Father nor the Son known seperation from each other and so it had to be by the nature of their existance, Eternal.

    So Eternity is not something that God lives in or occupies, It is what He is, both Father and Son are; Eternal.

    • Wow.
      The subject of this blog, and what Victor wrote just make me fall on my face and worship the Living ETERNAL God.

      I love to think about God in eternal existence. It gives me goose-bumps.

      D.

    • You are absolutely correct Victor. Currently while on earth we, the folks on earth, live in the line of time. Father God residing in eternity knows the beginning from the end. In short He is keenly observant of us on our time line which He created. From the sphere of eternity, He can witness the many lines, each interconnected…and as we enter eternity with Him, then we become the cloud of witnesses.

  2. The Alpha & The Omega…..The Great “I AM THAT I AM” ……
    I am truly Gracious to have been called.. We are one in him as Jesus was. How wonderful to be eternal as well.

  3. As gracious as God loves us with an eternal love, goosebumps or not,it gives me the chills that many among our friends / family are eternally separated from His eternal love because they did not hear the gospel or heard it but in words that did not relate to their (troubled) spirits.

  4. Eternal Father, help me to relate to others in the context of their troubled spirits, so that they may come to know the Lord Jesus, and know that You are always near to the broken hearted, and that you want to heal all of their hurts, and make them whole in Christ Jesus your Son, and that they may be with you one day where time is no longer a factor….Amen

  5. Father,

    We lift up all who don’t know you, don’t hear you, and hear but don’t understand you. We pray you give them ears to hear and eyes to see the great glory you provide. We ask you love fall like morning dew and cover them. Your word says Love covers a multitude of sin and we call forth that word for all who love you but do not know you that you are a God who knows the hearts of men. We call forth thier salvation, and claim them for your kingdom. In The Name Of Jesus/Yeshua My King. May your Love Conquer All !!! Amen

  6. Matthew 25:41-46
    Then shall HE say also unto them on the left hand
    Depart from ME you cursed into everlasting fire prepared for the devil and his angels

    (42)For I was an hungered and you gave ME no meat
    I was thirsty and you gave ME no drink

    (43)I was a stranger and you took ME not in and you clothed ME not
    sick and in prison and you visited ME not

    (44)Then shall they also answer HIM saying LORD when saw we
    thee an hungered or athirst or a stranger or naked or sick
    or in prison and did not minister unto thee

    (45)Then shall HE answer them saying verily I say unto you Inasmuch as you did it not to one of the least of these
    You did it not unto ME

    (46)And these shall go away into everlasting punishment
    BUT THE RIGHTEOUS INTO LIFE ETERNAL

    Psalm 1:6
    For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous
    But the way of the ungodly shall perish

    1 John 3:7
    Little children let no man deceive you
    He that doeth righteousness is righteous
    Even as HE is righteous

    HELP US LORD JESUS TO UNDERSTAND AND TO LOVE YOU

    • Brother Steve, I have been having a lot of problems with your use of caps that do not match the refrenced text when I roll over the text. I have been trying to deal with this and a reply on how to use this site effectivly would be a blessing. Thank you and 500 billion blessings.

  7. Donna, first you pray for all the lost of the world to experience the love of Elohim and then claim the whole lot of them for the Kingdom. Then Steve tosses out a barrage of verses that demonstrate that your prayer is inconsistent with the Truth of Scripture. Then you follow his sortie with what appears to be just adding on some verses that Steve could have included. Have you understood the point?

    Your prayer cannot be answered because it is not the will of Elohim. John reveals in 1 Jn 5:14-15 that if we ask anything that is in accordance with His will, he hears us; and if He hears us, we know we shall have what we requested of Him. It is impossible to have faith that Elohim will grant a request that is contrary to His will; and “anything without faith is sin.” Thus a prayer for anything in contradiction to the will of Elohim is sin.

    Though asking for all the world to be “saved” is a very “humanitarian” idea, it flies in the face of the revelation of Scripture. Even Messiah told his disciples to shake the dust off their feet and move on if any will not heed the word of the gospel. He also said that broad is the gate and wide is the path that leads to destruction and many there are that enter there BECAUSE strait is the gate and narrow is the path that leads to life, and FEW THERE BE THAT FIND IT.

    Again, no man comes to the Father but first HE reveals His Son in them. He chooses, we don’t; and the Scripture is replete with verses that show there are many He does not choose.

    When Messiah called the Pharisees white washed sepulchres, or liars just like their father the devil, was he asking His Father to pour down His love upon them like the morning dew? I think not. When Solomon discusses the futility of the fool, did he ever indicate they had any hope of changing their ways? (Though thou brayest a fool in a motar with a pestle along with crushed grain, his foolishness will not depart from him.)

    I think, perhaps, what we should be praying, in terms of the lost, is that seed be sown and watered in the hearts of those who are called of Elohim. We should also be careful to nurture it when it blossoms unto life, rather than to consider that once we have prayed “the magic prayer” we are somehow safe and secure and need not bother with anything for the rest of our life, because we have some kind of holy ticket to eternal life.

    The fear of IAUE (Yahuweh) is the beginning of knowledge and wisdom. If we have not yet learned to fear Him, we have yet to embark on the exciting journey of genuine discipleship.

    Grace and Peace

    • For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever would believe in Him would not perish but have everlasting life.
      John 3:16

      God loves the world. He also understands the prayer that Donna has prayed. He knows the spirit of that prayer and the heart that prayed it. The words may not always be correct. We are children but He knows us well.

      • Sandy, my comments were not an attack. It is important for us, even as “children” to understand the inappropriateness of praying for something that is NOT the will of our Father.

        You say that He knows her spirit and her heart; but how did Messiah react when Peter, in all good intentions, said that Messiah should not be crucified? He rebuked Satan from him because he was not thinking with the thoughts of Elohim, he was thinking like a man.

        Just so we did not miss the point, Solomon twice stated that there is a way that seems right unto man but the end thereof are the ways of death (Prov 14:12, 16:25) Our good intentions can be quite evil when they are contrasted with the will of Elohim.

        Christians so often are caught up in niceties and sweet sounding platitudes; and all the while missing to discover the nature of Elohim and to learn His ways. Paul instructs us in Rom 12:1-2, to stop thinking like the world thinks, and to learn how to think in accordance with the Father’s will. His will is everything, and when we act without regard to His will, we diminish the significance of His will, both to ourselves and to those who have respect for the manner in which we live our lives before them.

        I know I tend to write in a foreceful manner. It is a shame there is no way to read inflection or tone in words on a page. I can assured you that I have no intention to but hurtful with my comments. I seek only to point the reader to the glory of Elohim. We cannot perceive His glory when we are doing what feels good or seems right or humanitarian. A “good hearted prayer” needs to consider that the heart is desperately wicked and deceitful above all things.

        • Mac, you seem to have the heart of a prophet, seeking and seeing truth. You, as such, will be often misunderstood and misinterpreted, as so many of the old testament prophets. The niceties and platitudes tickle the ears, but, as you have pointed out, we are to be following the narrow path, not caught up in having our ears tickled.
          If we truly put Adonai before us, the Holy Spirit will lead us in how we should pray, even to the point of interceding with groans (my heart swells to envision that!) If we take up our cross daily, keeping our eyes on Him who is the author and finisher of our faith, we will pray quite differently.

          Interesting how a blog on the name of God as El Olam brings such comments! Entering prayer with a heart in submission to Christ as Adonai may give us a glimmer of God as El Olam.

          • Gail, you are very perceptive. Being misunderstood has been commonplace in my life from the day Father set His Spirit upon me. He has seemed to take much pleasure in revealing things to me over the past 40 years that are “outside the box” and not easily communicated to the masses. It has, however, allowed me the opportunity to see emerge from the masses those whose hearts are truly broken and long to do His will, and who are not bound by tradition and theology.

            As for “the name of God” as El Olam, this is simply one of many memorial titles; but His name is transliterated in English as IAUE. A wonderfully bewildering name to the Hebrew people whose language includes no vowels. YHWH are consonants that are also “vowel housings” in Hebrew. It is from IAUE that we derive the sloppy version, Yahweh (There is no “W” in Hebrew. People tend to say Yahweh just because it is easier to pronounce that way, and more readily accepted when written.)

            Over 6300 times in the standard English translations of the Old Testament you find the word “LORD” which is a mistranslation of IAUE (the tetragrammaton), and thus most English translations conceal the divine name. I can guarantee that if believers who really had a heart to do the Father’s will would cease using the terms, God, LORD, Jesus and Christ; and replace them with the more accurate, Elohim, IAUE, Yahushua and Messiah, there would be a transformation in their spiritual lives. The first thing that happens is the birth of the FEAR OF IAUE. The Fear of the LORD is essentially meaningless, as His name is not LORD. The Fear of IAUE is the beginning of wisdom.

            IUAE is the best rendering we have available to us; but I am no stickler to a specific pronunciation. David said the voice of IAUE was as the sound of many waters. His name predates the Hebrew language; so if we actually heard Him speak His own name, it would probably be something we have no vocal capability to reproduce, not unlike the Greek rendering of IESOUS. Greek has no “y” nor “sh” dipthong, so it is impossible to represent Messiah’s name correctly in the Greek language.

            I appreciated your comments.

            Grace and peace

    • Mac~

      Because of another commitment, I don’t have the time to thoroughly address your criticisms of Donna, but I do have enough Scripture to illustrate that you are wrong because your conclusions are based upon isolating verses and ignoring context.

      You wrote, “Though asking for all the world to be “saved” is a very “humanitarian” idea, it flies in the face of the revelation of Scripture.” First, as Sandy cited, “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” (Jn. 3:16). Look up the words “world” and “whosoever” because these, alone, prove you wrong. We also read in II Peter 3:9 that “The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, NOT WILLING THAT ANY SHOULD PERISH, but that ALL SHOULD COME TO REPENTANCE” (caps mine). Are some, even many, going to perish? We know that they are, but it is not God’s will. Christ died for the world, and we are to pray for the world.

      You wrote, “Again, no man comes to the Father but first HE reveals His Son in them. He chooses, we don’t; and the Scripture is replete with verses that show there are many He does not choose.” You need to take better care in throwing out verses to support your Calvinistic theology. As John 6:44 says, “”No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.” In other words, God doesn’t just “reveal” Himself to someone as you have written; He actually “draws” them to Himself. This is what Christ is telling us in Revelation 3:20: “”Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me.” Now, if Christ died for the whole world, and if it is God’s will that none should perish, and if Christ is knocking on each person’s heart, then it stands to biblical reason that He draws EVERYONE to Himself. Yes, only some are chosen out of the world. They are those people who have answered God’s call upon their lives: “For WHOSOEVER shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Rom. 10:13, caps mine).

      You wrote, “When Messiah called the Pharisees white washed sepulchers [sic], or liars just like their father the devil, was he asking His Father to pour down His love upon them like the morning dew?” How can you even include something like this as proof? Did not Christ come first to save the Jews? Did He not reveal Himself in countless ways as their Messiah? Did He not teach them and pour out His love upon them? It was only after He spent His entire ministry calling His own to Himself that He rebuked them with the verse you have cited. Even then, Jesus cries out, “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, [thou] that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under [her] wings, and ye would not” (Matt. 23:37)!

      We are called to rightly divide the Word (II Tim. 2:15), which, at the very least, includes reconciling all relevant verses, not just proof texting. As I wrote, I won’t be able to respond to you. I just pray that you will form your theology on the whole counsel of God.

      Barbara

      • Barbara, I completely understand what you are saying. I am totally aware of all of those passages and more; and I can see it would be pointless to attempt to “correct” you, as you presume to have a broader understanding of Scripture than I, though you do not know me from Adam. It would be easy to resolve what you perceive to be blatant contradictions to my comments; but the information would surely fall on deaf ears.

        I am no novice with the Scriptures. The verses I used in my remarks were not intended to form the basis of a doctrinal position. They were merely to show a flavor that contradicts your “everybody may get saved” theology. Neither am I a Calvinist (at least not 5 points worth).

        I don’t post in here in order to participate in a duel of bible verses. I don’t mind intelligent discourse; but I find your compulsion to correct what does not need to be corrected a rather childish exercise. Perhaps if it was not so important in your own mind to be right all the time, you could learn how to share a differing viewpoint without alienating yourself or the one with whom you are sharing. I have been there, done that, got the tee shirt, am all too familiar with the syndrome; but I have also been moved from that selfish ego-posturing.

        It does not bother me that you hold to a different understanding, as long as you come by it honestly; and who knows? Maybe in another decade of study, prayer and growing up, you will come to understand what I initially remarked.

        Grace and peace.

        • I have pondered all the comments based on My One Prayer. A prayer from a place of Love. If it was a sin, it was my sin, no one elses. We will all be accountable for every word we speak.

          My Fathers Spirit ” The Holy Spirit” That lives in me, will deal with me personally on that if in fact it was as sin.

          I have no need to be corrected by man. Trust me HE is quite sufficient.

          I have asked Father to show me if I had sinned.
          I know the whole world is not to be saved.

          I have wisodm and knowledge of those created for destruction.

          I also know what Knowledge & Wisdom is supposed to look like, sound like, and be like and mostly feel like !

          I have The Greatest Teacher, The Kindest Most Loving Teacher.

          He is my Daddy, My Savior, My Redeemer, My friend, and my Comforter.

          I know my LORD and great debates over what His will is for each of us I will not begin to be involved in so I close with this.

          I try to Lovingly and Humbly show the Light of My savior and King Jesus as much as my flesh will allow as I am BUT DUST, We all are.

          I am a Planter, I was created to spread His Love.

          I have the gifts given to me by the Holy Spirit just like others here have also.

          I am learning to use them with Kindness and Love.

          I will and do mis-speak as I AM HUMAN and a Child of God.

          The Prefect has yet to return, and That My Friends is scriptural!

          I do make mistakes and I am by no means any great biblical scholar.

          I will however post my last post for a while and finish with this.

          It is not about us, our opinions, or even our wants and wills. Our knowledge or wisdom.

          It is about our Great Merciful Saviour, Our King. The Son Of God.

          He gave His Life so that we could live and live abundantly under His Blood.

          When whatever any of us write does not Glorify Him, we are all wrong. All of Us. Myself included.

          So I apologize for getting hurt and offended by Steve’s barrage of scriptures, and I repent for that. My words changed Love into to debate, separation, and the Unity died.

          I am a prayer warrior, that is what I do. I have seen miracles, mountains move, demons delivered, and people be healed by those prayers.

          It is the spoken word of God by the Power of The Holy Spirit that performed those things. That is the will of the Father to deliver His people, to heal His people, and to love His people.

          That is what I am to do, that is His will for me.

          No man will stop me doing the will of my Father.

          He Loves me, comforts me, convicts me and leads me in the way in which I should go.

          He will never abandon me or forsake me.

          I will finish with His Word

          John 3:16

          For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish, but have eternal life.

          John 3:17
          For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him.

          John 3:18
          He who believes in Him is not judged; he who does not believe has been judged already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

          John 3:19
          This is the judgment, that the Light has come into the world, and men loved the darkness rather than the Light, for their deeds were evil.

          John 3:20
          For everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come to the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed.

          John 3:21
          But he who practices the truth comes to the Light, so that his deeds may be manifested as having been wrought in God.”

          Be Blessed on each of your Journeys we have yet to arive!

          It is a walk, not a race.

          The first shall be last and the last first.

          Be Loved and Love in Return.

          We will all reep what we sow.

          • Donna, you moved in the spirit of mercy. Jesus on the cross spoke forgiveness so did The Father act upon his request? Yes He did. So where does the problem lay in some prayer? Answer is…The Word is The Seed. As we pray His Word, living seed is released into the womb of time to change lifeless into life. Where is the problem? Receiving. There is nothing wrong with the seed, but the hearts of some are not ready to receive the seed. So, as we pray timing is important so people can receive the life seed. In short, God has given us nature to explain things in spirit. Why? Because things in nature originate from spirit so to observe in reverse helps explain spirit function. As a man gives seed to his wife in hope of a child…timing is important, etc, etc. As we pray we ask for wisdom but as scripture states get understanding as well. Understanding is…the Word Seed is good so that is not the problem. The problem is on the receiving side. In your prayer of mercy, trust and know the prayer is good…The Father is releasing Word. Include in your prayer understanding healing, timing, etc so the prayer seed is received. So all those folks Jesus asked forgiveness for…they are forgiven. Did they all make it to heaven? Probably not. They did not receive. Jesus released a good, heartfelt prayer. As did you.
            Shalom my friend and daughter of The Most High. Shalom :>)

        • Mac~

          If I wrongly accused you of being a Calvinist, I apologize, but when someone believes that all the world is not in a position to be saved, then that is a natural assumption.

          You’ve done a thorough job in attacking me rather than what I wrote, which is fallacy. We are called to contend for the faith (Jude 1:3), and contend I will. If someone can show me scripturally that I am wrong, I welcome the correction as I have written many times. If you would like to reconcile your premise (II Tim. 3:16) with the verses that I have given in a week or so, I will do so.

          Barbara

  8. Mac,

    Point Taken. I am not offended.

    I was actually lead by the Holy Spirit to respond to Steve, as my first thought was to not respond and not write any further Blogs on this site due to this happening constantly.

    However, YHWH gave me no peace until I did and I let him take me where to go.

    I do understand His ways are ot My Ways.

    I also very clearly understand I am but a child learning to walk as we all are.
    I also understand obedience to his word.

    He gave me a Teacher ” The Holy Spirit ” That convicts and comforts every moment I walk.

    I was obedient in my response so in that I have my peace now.

    Nothing is without devine design for those who Love The LORD with all thier heart, even if thier heart is wicked.

    Not by my power of might but by his Spirit, helps me to walk and repent as I am shown the Truth in Love and Kindness.

    I will take all this to the Father as he does know my heart and

    I am working very heard to allow the Holy Spirit To Lead Me in ALL Truth,In ALL Wisdom, and ALL LOVE.

    I am very grateful it is written that “Love Covers a Multitude of Sins”.

    I am also very Loved by my Father as it also clearly written in a another verse that His Grace & Mercy are sufficient.

    Father is big enough to fix any mess or misunderstandin I might have created.

  9. I was not trying to tickle ears. I understand the narrow path before us I am reminded oftern in my studies.

    I too pick my cross up daily and some days I die just as Christ died for me, and some days I Pray, Sing and Praise. Today, I am reminded we are all but dust, myself included.

    I am grateful the Perfect Savior is to come and that Eternal Everlasting God “El Olam” is Love.

    Be Blessed
    Donna Child Of God.

  10. Steve,

    I forgot to say, I do percieve His Glory and Very Humbly accept His Forgiveness when I make a mistakes.

    I need that extended arm of Grace and Mercy as many others may also.

    I have learned a very valuable lesson here today. I am sure it will ripple out like water well beyond me.

    Since it’s not about me anyways. It’s all about Our Great LORD.

    • Donna, it was not my intention to point out a mistake. We must tread very softly when we consider to judge another man’s servant. Rather, I was hoping to point out a more excellent way to pursue the object of your prayer. You seem to have a teachable spirit…an invaluable asset in genuine discipleship to the Master.

      Be blessed.

  11. Hello Brothers and Sisters!

    I enjoyed reading your comments about our eternal God, Yahweh!

    The post given to us by BlueLetterBible is about the names of God.

    I have often thought about why their are so many descriptive names and I can clearly conclude He wanted use to know His name YAHWEH (Exodus 3:14-15)and all that it stands for.

    When I think further about it I liken God dealing with man to this:

    God is so far above us and so very fantastic that it is hard for us to comprehend Him. He had to show Moses His back not his face when He was giving him the Law and the history of the world’s creation (Exodus 3:23)

    Here is an analogy I heard my Pastor share some time back…

    Its like a man holding little ant on his hand and he is talking to the ant and telling him who he is and how much he loves him and what he wants to do for him. We are that ant, though a bit more intelligent because we have been made into His image (Gen 1:26-27) and God represents the man.

    Just think about like Victor did at the begining of this blog. God has always been though we have had a begining. He is creative and has been creating always. Our puney little brains can hardly concieve this concept because we would ask ourselves what has He created other than us and the universe we live in.
    It says the number of hairs on our head are numbered by Him (Mat 10:30). He knows the end of all things from the begining (Isa 46:10). What a fantastic and AWESOME being Yahweh is! Like Sister Debi C writes, “I fall on my face and worship Him!”.

    We, Christians, have been given the gift of eternal life and one of the things we will do for all eternity is learn of Him, Our God and Father, and we will grow in love and knowledge as we exist with Him in eternity.

    Much Agape (Love) to you all!

    Your Servant and Brother,

      I was wondering if you are going to respond to my last post. I did my best to respond to the exact points that both you and Dale brought up against Jesus being God and the Trinity. You have both made a point of telling me and others that we are wrong, so I would like to understand how you reconcile the last group of verses I posted with your theology. Thanks.

  13. Mark,

    My Wonderful, Merciful, Daddy, used your responses & my scripture this morning Luke 23:34 to answer my personal prayer. I had asked did I sin, when I prayed.

    As, I awoke he lead me to the scripture first, then I wrote of His glorious Mercy as the crimminal only needed to fear God and speak our Saviours innocense, and he received his house in My Fathers House ! What a awesome gift for him in his final moment.

    Then I asked daddy if could I look at the Blog and found your response.

    Mark, as I read your first line tears filled my eyes, same as I write at this moment. Thank you for being led by the same spirit. The One and Only Great Holy Spirit of YHWH/LORD.

    I know my Fathers voice and this sheep takes heed, and now has the complete revelation of why the YHWH/LORD led me to write it in the first place. My brother, Shalom, and Grace be upon you !!!

    We must learn to exercise our God Given Power and Gifts in the Spirit, with Mercy,Grace,and above all Kindness & Love for ALL.

    I am learning to walk 🙂 Now more gingerly :)just like Yeshua my Sheperd did.

    Romans 9:15 sums it all up to me, which allows me to live,love, and keep the mind & love of a child. Which is my purpose. We all have different ones.

    It says ” So then He has mercy on whom He desires and He hardens whom He desires.

    Be Blessed My brother as well. May the Spirit of God give you Rest.

    Barbara you too, sis. Wow gues I am relased to write again.
