Verse 17 might be a lot easier than we think if I start right where I am

@ChristopherJHardwick
Power-capacity to hold, become, have, do e.g. John 1:12
Love-it anchors, knits, binds and builds e.g. Col. 2:2;3:14
Sound mind-self control, self discipline and balance to approach life and godliness in a tempered way so challenges and adversity don't hinder building/edifying e.g. 2 Tim 1:8
Power may edify/tear down 2 Cor. 13:10. Power is made constructive by love. Love comes before self control (not in the addition to our lives 2 Peter 1:6) but is first in terms of usefulness and function.
Without God's power it can't be done. Power with no love as a leash is a runaway horse. Love is to build 1 Cor. 8:1. With no power, love can't show achievement.
Nehemiah knows each construction has hindrances (Satan, people, life, circumstances). The power to build can be challenged by outside beings and forces. Only the self disciplined, sound mind can steadily navigate when ground conditions are unfavorable. Without self control the work is abandoned as outside forces win.

@ByGraceAlone thanks for sharing. It's good to have evidence to back up what you already discerned.

I appreciate the Word the Lord spoke more and more ... by their fruit you will know them.

@tanjaostman @sinbach currently I minister to individuals, and families who are in crisis. A crisis is a prolonged season of unfortunate circumstances that erode one's ability to move forward in life.

@sinbach listening intentionally and weeping with those who weep are first steps to healing.
When victims tell their story to caring listeners they heal remembering the story differently each time. This helps them have a new perspective.

When a listener challenges with questions parts of the story which are not true (clue: look for sentences with the word never or always) the victim is helped to put the experiences in proper perspective.

I like to ask victims where Jesus was when this was happening. Most don't know. Most admit that they did not reach out to Him then for help. They tried to cope on their own. I help them realize clues that indicate the Lord Jesus was there all along pained at what they were facing knowing that He was not invited to help them face it.

As a listener to other people's tragedy I take comfort knowing that God made children resilient-they can recover, allow Christ to heal them and use the memory of tragedy to accomplish good works in the earth.

@Fisherman @Asianking type in search to get post anger is NOT a problem and emotion map

@sinbach All that we need is the Spirit of God and the Word of God. This is what the Church in Acts had, and what we have today - that's why we are advantaged people.


Luke 21:26

The book of Revelation contains the timetables of prophecy events. There is no contradiction in Scripture -only in man's understanding. One timetable concerns the Church and the other Israel and the nations.

We are in the final stages of the year of God's favour (Isaiah 61). The Church must complete its work now. As long as the Holy Spirit remains assigned to the earth we have a fighting chance.

THE RAPTURE occurs in Revelation 11. The beast cannot be revealed before the Holy Spirit is removed. The beast is revealed in Revelation 13. Only then will the mark of the beast be introduced. Stop reacting in fear. You have been given the timetables years in advance. Get on with your work. This is what you have control over. The mark of the beast connects worship with trade.

Also note God's universe is ordered. He alone determines times, seasons and population deaths (Acts 1:7; 17:26,27,30-31; Revelation 6:7,8)

@Hinerodney amen. did they pay Him rent, copyright or patent royalties? Then it's high time they did.

@NickAustin yet the world is crying out in different ways for justice now. ISAIAH 1:17

@Asianking please review and share info from my posts with him. Anger at an unresolved problem often leads to depression. Get him to complete the emotion map for anger. Step 7 helps him realize what he can do to move forward even if his situation does not improve soon. Happy to help further.

@AaronMichaels read the book of Revelation which gives the timetable of events. Consider how the God of the bible in advance set limits on humans and human civilizations:
2 Timothy 1:7 Acts 17:26,27; Revelation 6:8

@farmerjohn to make an image of anyone or thing in heaven is Exodus 20:1-6

@Fisherman love Cornelius mobile and kneemail. Can't wait to use these in conversation

@Fisherman you have an intercessor in you and one who sits right on the throne. You are never without communication. Ask God to communicate with His people for you. Communicate through the spirit realm with the help of your advocate.
