First, I would ask God to help me to reflect him in the person's life. Then, I'd ask him to teach me how to most effectively minister to and pray for him.or her. Next, I would follow up with him or her regarding God's answer and what impact prayer had in the situation and I'd be careful to give God all glory and praise for using me. I have received several divine nudges throughout my Christian journey which have resulted in individuals getting what they need and those experiences have improved the quality of my faith in miraculous ways.

I would think that the contrast is made in order to show us the sovereignty of God. He can speak in any way he chooses and he has given believers (and non-believer alike) the power to either listen to or ignore the wisdom in what he has to say to us.in that choice lies responsibility and truly committed Christians take their responsibilities to God seriously-it all depends on the quality of faith.

Jesus promises us that God would send us the Holy Spirit to help us to be effective witnesses for him in this sinful word and that he would remain with us to remind us of what God says, warns and protects us from dangers seen and unseen, comforts and convicts us, and guides us in the ways of pure holiness.

I believe that Jesus shows us his humility and complete dependence on God. He is our example of how to live a godly life. Therefore if we want to be more like him, it's imperative of us to follow his lead in walking in the ways of righteousness. Jesus is the embodiment of agapé for a world full of sin and strife and since God is supremely holy, neither he nor Jesus have any part in those two evils. As the ultimate best friends forever, they are both highly attuned to each other's thoughts and feelings and can thus read, see and hear each other's hearts perfectly.

God created and intended for sex to be pure and holy between a man and woman within the confines of monogamous marriage. When we pervert it to that extent, we deny the very essence of Christ.

When we avoid church because of our hurt over what our brothers and sisters in Christ have done to us, we don't really understand the nature of agap

I mess up on all the virtues all the time, but God's mercy is infinitely greater than my sin. However if I had to pick a virtue that's easiest for me, it would have to be joy.

If they are the wrong kind, our desires can lead us into the temptation to sin. However if they are the right kind, they are able to motivate us to get closer to God.

In my opinion, suffering draws us closer to Jesus and makes us more empathetic toward others. Throughout His 3-year ministry on earth, the Savior showed his disciples how to love and have compassion on those who are going through humanly insurmountable trials in their lives by example. For a world that desperately needs this kind of love, we as Christians it seems to me would be remiss if we failed to submit ourselves fully to obey God's will in this regard.

Jesus suffered for me because he knows me personally (but he's always going to love me just the same).

Holiness to me is a state of being right with God. At this point in my life, I'm more willing to be more like Jesus. For me, obedience is the key to attaining holiness. My biggest struggle with holiness is consistency. I find that I must discipline myself in order to live up to God's expectations of me.

God has formed the conviction in my heart that we are the Body of Christ and we can't afford to be divisive.

In my opinion, apostles and prophets build the Body by offering encouragement to their brothers and sisters in Christ.
