The next time someone tells you that the Bible is just a book written by man, show them this.

This is a graph of all cross-references in the Bible.

A total of 63,779 cross references. If one man wrote a book that articulates, he would be considered the greatest composer the world has ever known.

But the Bible wasn’t written by one man. It was written by the Holy Spirit.

Then the Holy Spirit used 40 men, most of whom never met each other.

It was written in 3 different languages. On three different continents.

Over a period of 1,500 years. Without divine inspiration that’s absolutely impossible.

The Bible isn’t just a book. It’s 66 books that men wrote under the divine guidance of the Holy Spirit. It’s the living Word of God!

Read it, study it, and apply it! Then go share it with someone else!

And think about THAT for a Minute!

11/2/2024 READING

Today i'm reading Lamentations chapter 1, i'm just going to write about somethings that stuck out to me, how God might have used His word to talk to me and what i learned from it.

"She finds no resting place." Lamentations 1:3

How often do we try to find comfort or rest in someone or something other than God? God is our ultimate protector and safe place; we can tell him everything and anything because He already knows! But us communicating with Him and letting Him know about our day to day lives and struggles is important, because then we learn how to rely on Him and not others! We shouldn't let it get to the point of us avoiding God that we no longer find rest with Him. Don't let satan guilt and shame you, he only speaks lies. God needs us to come to Him, especially in times when we feel too ashamed to. Let God be your shelter and home.

"Look, Lord, on my affliction, for the enemy has triumphed." Lamentations 1:9

Jerusalem at this point, had no one else to call out to, she has exhausted all of her resources and allies have turned their back on her. Many of us, me included, have used God as a last measure, as a fire extinguisher. He is meant to be the first one we call out to. He is our Father; we are meant to be calling out to him when we fall and wound our knees so He can make it better! We need to start seeing Him that way, how we see God shows in how we live our lives.

"Is any suffering like my suffering that was inflicted on me," Lamentations 1:12

A personified Jerusalem feels as though no one will know her pain, that it is not comparable to others pain. We all feel that way, that no one will know what we are going through and feeling, that's a LIE! Jesus came down to this earth and lived a human, perfect life. GOD LITERALLY CAME DOWN ON EARTH AND WALKED WITH US! Yet our human brains think that God won't know what we are going through, that we can't talk to Him? Pardon me, but that's insane!

"My sins have been bound into a yoke: by His hands they were woven together. They have been hung on my neck, and the Lord has sapped my strength." Lamentations 1:14

If you don't know what a yoke is, don't worry, "A yoke is a wooden bar or frame that joins two draft animals, like oxen, at their heads or necks so they can pull together." Refer to image below for an example.

The yoke that was put upon Jerusalem was one that was made out of their own sins. So, for visual thinkers, imagine all that sin, bundling up together and making this yoke, that was then "It was bound to them by cords woven by God’s own hands." (Enduring word) Thats a heavy thought! That is why in Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus says "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." This is a burden we are meant to carry with the Lord, even on heavy boxes it shows two people should carry it! So, why do we think of our sins and burdens as something different? Carry it with Jesus and let Him help you!

"No one is near to comfort me." Lamentations 1:16

That's already a hard-hitting verse, it hits deep because we all can feel alone too, like we have no one to turn to. I can talk about at least 5 times this week i have felt this way, so you aren't alone! But God, He never moves away from us, He never takes a step away. Only we do that and oftentimes we do. We do walk away from God when it gets rough, we do move away from Him, BUT HE ALWAYS STAYS! That's part of His goodness! So please remember, He doesn't ever leave us, nor forsake us, just turn to Him!

"I called to my allies, but they betrayed me." Lamentations 1:19

This one i'm going to leave short and sweet. All i'm going to do is ask you a simple question. How often do we seek help from the world, before we seek help from the ultimate healer and physician God?

A Bible Reading For Today

Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths. (Proverbs 3:5-6)

A Jihadist Overcome by the Love of Jesus

1 John 5:4

“For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

1 John 5:5-2-3-7

2By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God, and keep his commandments. 3For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous. 4For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith. 5Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? 6This is he that came by water and blood, even Jesus Christ; not by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is truth. 7For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. 8And there are three that bear witness in earth, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and these three agree in one.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within thy walls, and prosperity within thy palaces.

GALATIANS 1

In Paul's time there were now as many non-Jews as there were Gentiles. This sparked a huge debate (please read Acts 15).

Acts 15: 1 ''Certain people came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the believers, "Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved."

Historically, God's covenant people were of one ethnic group-the Jews. Jewish people were set apart by the practices commanded in the Torah. An example would be, by observing the Sabbath. When the Gentiles became saved, many Messianic Jews were meeting in churches in Galatia and commanding the Gentiles to obey the Torah. They argued that in order for the Gentiles to be accepted into God's family, they needed to be circumcised.

Paul was deeply saddened upon hearing this. He wrote that the Gospel could not be altered and those who were infiltrating the Gospel, would be under God's curse. Paul spoke of how the Gospel that the Jews received had not been perverted!

Do you remember the story of Acts 16? Paul and Silas were in prison praying and singing hymns; suddenly, there was a great earthquake and all the prisoner's chains became loose. What astonished me about this chapter is that the jailer wanted to commit suicide. He knew that he would eventually be killed if there were no prisoners inside the jail cells! It would have been extremely hard to prove to the Council and the Chief Magistrates that the gates of the prison cell flew open because of a 'violent earthquake'. What also astonishes me is that after Paul shouted in v.28 "Don't harm yourself, we are all here!" the jailer knew that a Miraculous Power had done this. He fell trembling at their feet and said "What must i do to be saved?"

Acts 16:31

They replied, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved- you and all your household."

This is the same Gospel that was preached to the Gentiles, firstly to the Jews. Therefore gospels of Inclusion, Prosperity, Works and other beliefs that do not align with the above, are sent from Satan.

Feel free to ask questions!

Who will bring me into the strong city? who will lead me into Edom? Wilt not thou, O God, who hast cast us off? and wilt not thou, O God, go forth with our hosts?

हजरत ईसा मसीह की मृत्यु 30 वर्ष की आयु में हुई जो पूर्व ही निर्धारित थी। स्वयं ईसा जी ने कहा कि मेरी मृत्यु निकट है तथा तुम शिष्यों में से ही एक मुझे विरोधियों को पकड़वाएगा और वो 7 मार देंगे। इससे सिद्ध है हज़रत ईसा जी ने कोई चमत्कार नहीं किया ये सब पहले से ही निर्धारित था। More information ℹ️ℹ️ VISIT 👇👇 SANT RAMPAL JI MAHARAJ YOUTUBE CHANNEL ✅✅✅✅ . . . . . . . . #trueguru #satlokashram . . . . . . . #biblequotes #gospel #biblereading  #dailybible #bibleapp  #biblefor21 #bibleart #holyspirit #christ #god #yeshua #hindibible #yeshumasih #SaintRampalJi #SantRampalJiMaharaj (at Jaipur Rajasthan -The Smart City Jaipur) https://www.instagram.com/p/CmbycstoPgw/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
