"7But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed.10Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body.
Matthew 6:24-25,
"24Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: 25And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock."
Psalms 34:19,
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all."
Psalms 34:18 The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.
Psalms 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Joel 2:12-14 Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning: And rend your heart, and not your garments, and turn unto the LORD your God: for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and repenteth him of the evil. Who knoweth if he will return and repent, and leave a blessing behind him; even a meat offering and a drink offering unto the LORD your God?
Jonah 3:4-10 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown. So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them. For word came unto the king of Nineveh, and he arose from his throne, and he laid his robe from him, and covered him with sackcloth, and sat in ashes. And he caused it to be proclaimed and published through Nineveh by the decree of the king and his nobles, saying, Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste any thing: let them not feed, nor drink water: But let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and cry mightily unto God: yea, let them turn every one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in their hands. Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not? And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.
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." John 3:16
Paul and Silas's jailer asked them in ACTS 16:30 ..."Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" Their answer was as simple as this in ACTS 16:31 ..."Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved..." Simple as that.
That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.- Romans 10:9-13.
Jesus will help you through all your problems. Psalms 34:4 I sought the Lord, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
If you have broken the law, you may have to face those charges, but Jesus will be there with you. The verdict may not be what you want, but it will be God's will, and that is the best way, for He knows what benefits us more than we do.
Amazing to know that GOD will always be there no matter what and exalts the righteous And hears us and will meet our needs if we just ask of him can I get an AMEN

Psalms 51:17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Isaiah 66:2 For all those things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD: but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite spirit, and trembleth at my word.
Psalm 34. It seems in this Psalm from interpretations that I am reading; that Amimilech was a sort of "generic" name for the Philistine's priest; whose name was "Achish". That explains why the Abimelech mentioned to be David's ally; and someone against Saul who had given him the sword that killed Goliath some time back was probably someone else.
At any rate; David feigned madness in order to escape what he surmised as enemies that wanted him dead or imprisoned. "This poor man" in verse 6 would of course be referring to David himself.
Verse 7 gives a promise of the "angel of the Lord" encamping around the rightous; and apparently there are about 100 verses on that subject (some of which such as Joshua represent a "Christophene" or a preincarnate manifestation of Christ. Once again verse 7 and verse 11 we see benefits as in other passages for those who fear the Lord; and verse 8 discusses the "trust" issue. Verse 10 repeats the same idea in Psalm 37 on the righteous always having bread.
Verse 18 repeats the Psalm 51 idea of a "broken and contrite spirit". Verses 16 and 21 contrast the fate of the wicked to the righteous; another repeated theme in scripture overall; particularly in the O.T. Finally; verse 20 about "keeping all his bones" is prophetic to Christ on the cross shown in most detail in Psalm 22.
To understand Psalms you have to understand that it is Christ talking, not David, David just penned the words of Christ.
2 Samuel 23:1 ....the sweet psalmist of Israel, said
2 Samuel 23:2 The Spirit of the Lord spake by me .....
Psalms 34:2 My (Christ) soul (body) shall make her boast in the LORD (Christ's father and Christ's God), the humble (the called of God) shall hear thereof and be glad.
The Psalms is a prophesy of Christ, not David.
May God Bless you as he gives his light into truth.
Psalms 28:7 - The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusted in him, and I am helped: therefore my heart greatly rejoiceth; and with my song will I praise him.
Psalms 34:4 - I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears.
This is literally true of Christ, in whom the type of the passover lamb had its accomplishment, and this passage also; see Ex 12:46; and seems better to agree with him than with any of his members, since the bones of many of them have been broken by one accident or another; and especially many of the martyrs of Jesus have had all their bones broken upon the rack or wheel; wherefore, to understand these words of them might tend to create uneasiness and despondency in the minds of such who by any means have their bones broken; as if they were not righteous persons, this promise not being fulfilled in them: and to interpret this of the Lord's keeping the bones of his people in the grave, and in the resurrection putting them together again; this is no other than what will be done to the wicked; it seems therefore best to understand the whole of Christ; and it looks as if this passage was had in view as fulfilled in Joh 19:36; since a Scripture is referred to; but if it is interpreted of the righteous in general, it must be with a limitation; as that their bones are all kept by the Lord, and not one is broken without his knowledge and will; and that they are not broken finally, but restored again perfect and whole in the resurrection, and so will continue to all eternity: the phrase, without entering into particulars, may in general design the care of Providence over the righteous; with this compare Mt 10:29.
Purgatory is not a bible word, KJV, no one in the bible calls Mary the mother of God, no one in the bible prays to Mary, the bible never said, Mary was the Queen of Heaven, sacrament is not a KJV bible word, Catholic is not a bible word, no where in either testament is there such a thing as baptizing a baby.
No this is men's ideas Jesus told the thief on the cross who believed Him and was sorry for his sin he knew Jesus was exactly who He claimed to be.Jesys said Today you will be in paradise.I love that how precious to believe
One last thought. On the page you came into this room, there are Many Links to other pages. Come back often and read the "Become A Christian" Link. It will guide you into how Jesus takes all of your sins: past, present and future. It's not a license to sin. It teaches us to consider Jesus before we consciously sin; or willfully.
Get a KJV Bible at any Walmart store. They're in the dvd department. They have some Christian DVD's too. Hundreds of Christian movies on YouTube. The best one is Jesus of Nazareth. The whole story of his birth, his mother Mary's role in Jesus's life. The beginning of his ministry, his teachings, his path to his crucifixion on the cross.
I cried for a week after watching Jesus die for MY SINS. I had a lot to be sorry for, I guess. Tears are the water of cleansing, I think, concerning the hurtful memories that arise.
You may want to find a Christian Church to attend in your neighborhood. Just read their Tenants of Faith and be sure they match what is in the Become A Believer link on this website.
Beloved child, please come back here with any questions you have. Someone is always here to greet you. I'll forward to seeing you again,
Of all of the teachings of Catholicism,Purgatoryis probably the one most often attacked by Catholics themselves. There are at least three reasons why that's so: many Catholics do not understand the need for Purgatory; they do not understand the scriptural basis for Purgatory, and they have been unintentionally misled by priests and catechism teachers who themselves do not understand what the Catholic Church has taught and continues to teach about Purgatory.
And so many Catholics have become convinced that the Church quietly dropped her belief in Purgatory a few decades ago.
So why do so many people think that belief in Purgatory is no longer a doctrine of the Church? Part of the confusion arises because some Catholics conflate Purgatory and Limbo, a supposed place of natural bliss where the souls of children who die without having received Baptism go because they are unable to enter Heaven since Baptism is necessary for salvation. Limbo is a theological speculation, which has been called into question in recent years by no less a figure than Pope Benedict XVI; Purgatory, however, is doctrinal teaching.
The eternal punishment of sin can be removed through the Sacrament of Confession.But the temporal punishment for our sins remains even after we have been forgiven in Confession, which is why the priest gives us a penance to perform.
Acts 26:18
To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.
Ephesians 1:7
In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace.
I am not going to accuse or anything like that. Jesus sees us from birth to death. God lives outside of the TIME of earths clock. Come to Jesus. Agree with John 3 in the Bible. Receive Jesus into your heart. Live just for Jesus.
