Prayer Request - Salvation
« on: February 08, 2016, 02:47:09 pm »
I have a friend who is a Jehovah's Witness.  We have been friends for a little over a year now and I am praying that God would have mercy on her and show her grace and open her eyes to the truth of His Word.  I don't know if God will use me to accomplish that, if that is His will, and I'm not going into the Bible discussions thinking He will because only God can change her heart but I do pray that He would.

What a horrible thing to think you're right with God, only to come face to face with Christ and hear Him say, "I never knew you.  Depart from me you workers of iniquity."

What a horrible blow that must be.  Although God is right and good and just to judge, and He will be glorified in that!

Also praying for the salvation of my Dad, who thinks he is right with God because he is a "good person" and the salvation of the father of my children, who outright hates God and openly rebels against him and embraces his sin.

I love all of these people dearly and would hate for them to spend eternity in Hell.

What makes you think your friend who is a JW NOT serving God?

Also if your god sends people to a firey hell,i would NEVER want to serve a god like that!!The bible says God is love...NOT wicked!!

All you can do is pray for your loved ones and listen for His voice.

Jesus said,i have made your name known,the only TRUE God and the 1 you sent forth Jesus Christ.

The Lords prayer says,hallowed or let your name be sanctified.

Moses asked God,who should i tell Pharoah that sent me?God not only told him his name,HE told him what it meant.

Psalms 83:18 KJV says The most high over the earths name is Jehovah.

JWS are in 236 lands fulfilling Math 24:14 preaching the kingdom work Jesus taught them to do and making disciples out of them.They were taught FREE...they give FREE!

I am not sure what sect or religeon you are but in Revelation Babylon the Great is referenced.Obviously Babylon doesnt exist as a country anymore but starting with Nimrod false religeon got its start and the book of Rev reminds us soon Babylon The Great will soon be devoured by world governements and to "get out of her"

Yes i support Jehovahs organization!

The only requirement to spend eternity with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is to accept Him as your Savior.  Put your faith in His accomplished work at Calvary.  He willingly went to that cross to suffer and die so that every soul who has asked Him for forgiveness for past sins and has allowed Him to dwell in their hearts and lives can spend eternity with Him.  You will never be able to come before God except through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Have a wonderful day!

James 2:26

English Standard Version
For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.

Matthew 24:13King James Version (KJV)

13 But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.

I'll pray for your friend and such. It's a difficult thing to talk someone out the grip of a cult.  You can only pray that God open their eyes and be prepared to give an answer to them when they question your salvation.

Its even more difficult to take advice from someone who claims to support bible but goes against Jesus when he says,My kingdom is no part of this world and they then support National Anthem!

Or dont heed words friendship with the world is enmity with God!!

Plus i always wondered how do you pray to a NAMELESS god???

Lemme help!!

Psalms 86

6 Give ear, O Jehovah, unto my prayer; And hearken unto the voice of my supplications.
7 In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee; For thou wilt answer me.
8 There is none like unto thee among the gods, O Lord; Neither are there any works like unto thy works.
9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; And they shall glorify thy name.
10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: Thou art God alone.
11 Teach me thy way, O Jehovah; I will walk in thy truth: Unite my heart to fear thy name.

To quote the great Ronald Reagan "There you go again"

It's not even worth the time it takes to type this to you, since it's going to fall on deaf ears (or in this case, "blind eyes") but, hey. Here goes...

You say it's wrong to support the National Anthem. That's fine. Get out of America. I'm sure it'll break our hearts to lose you, but we'll get over it. Have fun finding another country that's not a part of the world.

And if you're so hung up on getting THE NAME OF GOD right, why isn't your little sect called "I AM's Witnesses"? Since that's the way God identified Himself to Moses!

Praying for them is the right thing. God can take it from there.  :notworthy:

Good for you being concerned for them. Your love and example may be a light for them to find Jesus.  :angel11:

NOOOO......better yet stop saying you support bible when its clear Jesus says numerous times.....My kingdom is no part of this world...or the whole world lies in power of wicked one.....or friendship with the world is enmity with God.

You cant take yourself out of this world literally...but you can respect Jehovahs view about not bowing down to idols.MBOY..you cant serve 2 masters as Jesus said.Stop making a fool outta yourself saying you support bible then bow down to Satan.

Which form of the divine name is correct—Jehovah or Yahweh?

No human today can be certain how it was originally pronounced in Hebrew. Why not? Biblical Hebrew was originally written with only consonants, no vowels. When the language was in everyday use, readers easily provided the proper vowels. In time, however, the Jews came to have the superstitious idea that it was wrong to say God’s personal name out loud, so they used substitute expressions. Centuries later, Jewish scholars developed a system of points by which to indicate which vowels to use when reading ancient Hebrew, but they put the vowels for the substitute expressions around the four consonants representing the divine name. Thus the original pronunciation of the divine name was lost.

Many scholars favor the spelling “Yahweh,” but it is uncertain and there is not agreement among them. On the other hand, “Jehovah” is the form of the name that is most readily recognized, because it has been used in English for centuries and preserves, equally with other forms, the four consonants of the Hebrew Tetragrammaton.

JJ..you are truly foolish!!

If you thought for a sec that Gods name was "I AM"you and many others would only be too happy to use it and say it!!

Who the hec RU kiddin???

Many times in the book of Ezekiel God says,"The nations will know that I AM Jehovah!!""

And shortly you will find that out as well as Babylon the Great will too!!!
