Bible Speaks

FOOD FOR THOUGHT - How can someone who doesn't know God's Name pray for God's Name to be Sanctified? After all, Jesus the Son of God, said in the Model Prayer the First Thing we should Mention ?
????????
“You must pray, then, this way: “‘Our Father in the heavens, let YOUR NAME be sanctified." (Matthew 6:9)
 

Dear Bible Speaks, When I ponder on the magnificent size of the universe, and how small we are here on earth, and yet---our Creator so lovingly cares for us and all the creatures on the planet---well. I am nearly moved to tears by Jehovah's boundless love. We have an eternity to give deep meditation on what that love is all about. From the infintesimally small to the grand, astronomically large, the mark of God's loving signature is seen. We are in awe of the Maker and Sustainer of life. We should show one another the same kind  of love that he has shown us. Eternal life project. 

"If you are being reproached for the name of Christ, you are happy, because the spirit of glory, yes, the spirit of God, is resting upon you."—1 Pet. 4:14.

No it was asked and it was told me that. Jehovah knows! ?????

@Queen Esther This is the Anniversary Date of his death. We will see him in Paradise! We can not say enough! His book is a National Best Seller. May you also find peace and joy as he did proving faithful to his God and Father Jehovah. Agape, Bible Speaks ?????
 

3 From far away Jehovah appeared to me and said: “I have loved you with an everlasting love. That is why I have drawn  you to me with loyal love." (Jeremiah 31:3)
???
Jehovah also values our endurance. (Matthew 24:13) Remember, Satan wants you to turn your back on Jehovah. Each day that you remain loyal to Jehovah is another day that you have helped to furnish a reply to Satan’s taunts. (Proverbs 27:11)
???
Sometimes endurance is no easy matter. Health problems, financial woes, emotional distress, and other obstacles can make each passing day a trial. Postponed expectations can prove discouraging too. (Proverbs 13:12)
???
Endurance in the face of such challenges is all the more precious to Jehovah. That is why King David asked Jehovah to store up his tears in a “skin bottle,” adding confidently: “Are they not in your book?” (Psalm 56:8)
???
Yes, Jehovah treasures up and remembers all the tears and suffering we endure while maintaining our loyalty to him. They too are precious in his eyes.

Your Mysterious Tears
?????
CRYING accompanies us from the day we are born. One expert explains that as babies, crying became our “acoustic umbilical cord,” because we cry to have our emotional and physical needs cared for. 
?????
But why do we shed tears as we grow older, when we can communicate in other ways?
?????
Whatever the reason, crying is a powerful nonverbal language. “There are few other ways to say so much in such a brief interval,” explains the book Adult Crying. Tears provoke reactions. 
?????
For example, most of us find tears of sadness difficult to ignore because they alert us that someone is suffering. In response, we may try to comfort or help the one who weeps.
?????
Some experts believe that crying provides a useful outlet for our emotions and that systematically holding back tears may damage our health. Others argue that the physical or psychological benefits of crying have not been scientifically verified. 
?????
Nevertheless, surveys estimate that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men reported feeling better after crying. “Sometimes, I know I need to cry,” explains Noemí. “Afterward, I can take a deep breath and see things more clearly, in their true perspective.”
?????
But this feeling of relief may depend not only on tears. The way others respond to our crying also plays an important role. 
?????
For instance, when our tears move others to comfort us or to help us, we feel relieved. But if the response to our tears is not good, we may feel ashamed or rejected.
?????
Clearly, mysteries about crying remain. What we do know is that shedding tears is one of the intriguing emotional responses God has given us.

@b4ucuhear  guess the short of it is, that I don't make lists and rules I think everyone else should be doing according to my personal conscience. I try to lead by example and show how well it works out in the hope that others may imitate my faith, to their personal benefit. (I was consciously trying to avoid the use the word "I" so much here because "I" didn't want my personal opinion to be the focus. But there was no other way to convey these thoughts without it's use)."

It was nice to hear from you. ? As a Christian and follower of Christ, I am trying my best to learn and apply its teachings. When we pray and dedicate our lives to Jehovah we learn to submit and be humble cautious as serpents and innocent as doves. Protecting ourselves using God's armor is a protection in these last days. May we keep strong and learn from God's Words the things of this world that are passing away. It also says, he that does the will of God will live forever. Have a wonderful day!  Agape,   Bible Speaks ?????????

@Tracey Anne Smith Your correct! Fact Bambi hears her mother die in forest? Sad, it's called "mind control."
Trivia   At one point, the film was meant to show her body after she was shot but was later removed as it would be too dark. Despite this, it is considered to be one of the most horrific and graphic deaths in all of Disney history.  In The Sword in the Stone, Kay is hunting a deer who looks very much like her.  In The Jungle Book, a deer that strongly resembles her is grazing in a meadow, and being unknowingly stalked by Shere Khan.  She and Bambi make a cameo in the Donald Duck cartoon, No Hunting. When she notices litter going down the stream, she tells Bambi, "Man is in the forest. Let's dig out."  In The Rescuers, during the song "Someone's Waiting For You", she and Bambi are seen eating grass in Devil's Bayou.  She, along with many other Disney Characters, made cameo appearances in the film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.  In Beauty and the Beast, there is a deer grazing in the opening scene that greatly resembles her.  Tae-Kwon Doe's head in the Toy Story Toonsshort Small Fry also resembles her.  A deer resembling her appears in the Sofia the First episode "Holiday in Enchancia" as one of the forest animals who helps Sofiatrack down her father.  There is a fan theory that Gaston or Judge Doom may have been the hunter who killed Bambi's mother. @Aruna People are "blinded" by  mysticism! It is a part of people to want to feel magic and to be able to understand it! Yeah we know that Satan the devil is not a magician, but a snake ?? and slander and resister. He slyly comes in with his magic and demons in movies and films, gets the young involved and they want more! Now they is a belief that 144,000 are magical delivers to bring the earth and heaven to harmony! Wow read that on FB yesterday was in shock. But he and his hordes have now "hooks" in their mouths and are sinking fast ? Lets teach all about Jehovah God and His Son Our Lord Christ Jesus. It will get worse. Degrading movies too of transvestism looked as ok ?? but a couple of years ago voted down. He can't win, he's being stepped on and crushed! ???????

"We have a wrestling . . . against the wicked spirit forces in the heavenly places."—Eph. 6:12.

KINDNESS ANIMALS HAVE BEEN TAUGHT! BY WHOM? JEHOVAH GOD, this Reminds me;
?????
Jesus explained that not a single sparrow “goes forgotten before God” or falls “to the ground without” the Father’s knowledge. (Matthew 10:29) Jehovah notices each time a sparrow falls to the earth perhaps because it is injured or alights on the ground in search of food. The seemingly insignificant birds that were not too little for Jehovah to create are not too little for him to remember. In fact, he values them, for they are precious living things. Do you see the point of Jesus’ illustration?
?????
In his teaching, Jesus often used contrasts, reasoning from the lesser to the greater. For example, Jesus also said: “Ravens neither sow seed nor reap, and they have neither barn nor storehouse, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more worth are you than birds?” (Luke 12:24) Now the point of Jesus’ words about the sparrows becomes clear: If Jehovah cares for these tiny birds, how much more will he care for humans who love and worship him!

105 Your word is a lamp to my foot, And a light for my path." (Psalms 119:105)
???
JEHOVAH’S word will light our roadway if we allow that to happen. To enjoy such spiritual light, we must be diligent students of God’s written Word and apply its counsel. Only then can we share the psalmist’s sentiments: “Your word is a lamp to my foot, and a light to my roadway.”—Psalm 119:105.
???
Why Be Fond of God’s Word?
???
Fondness for Jehovah’s word results in spiritual stability. (Psalm 119:89-96) The psalmist sang: “To time indefinite, O Jehovah, your word is stationed in the heavens. . . . You have solidly fixed the earth, that it may keep standing.” (Psalm 119:89, 90) 
???
By God’s word—his “statutes of the heavens”—the celestial bodies move flawlessly in their orbits and the earth is solidly fixed forever. (Job 38:31-33; Psalm 104:5) 
???
We can depend on every word going forth from Jehovah’s mouth; what God says will have “certain success” in the fulfillment of his purpose.—Isaiah 55:8-11.

"For God knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened and you will be like God, knowing good and bad.” ???
(Genesis 3:5)
Satan the Devil used a serpent to fool Eve into disobeying her Father, Jehovah. Satan made an issue of the fact that God’s human children were not allowed to eat “from every tree of the garden.” It was as if he were saying: ‘You mean you cannot do what you want?’ Next, he told her: “You certainly will not die.” That was a lie. Then he tried to convince Eve that she did not need to listen to God. Satan said: “God knows that in the very day you eat from it, your eyes will be opened.” Satan was saying that Jehovah did not want them to eat the fruit because this would give them some special knowledge. Finally, he made this false promise: “You will be like God, knowing good and bad.”

Pedophile Priest With HIV who Raped 30 Children Forgiven by Church
Catholic Church absolved priest after who faces no criminal charges for raping young girls under 10
A Catholic Priest has been acquitted by the church after he admitted to raping almost 30 young girls aged between 5 and 10-years-old.
The priest, Jose Garcia Ataulfo, was cleared of any wrong-doing and won't face any criminal charges, despite the fact that he knew he was infected with HIV when he sexually abused all the children he admitted to raping.
The mother of one of the priest's victims wrote a letter to The Pope asking to meet with him in Rome to discuss the case, but was shunned by the Vatican who declared that "the matter is closed".
Ataulfo admitted to sexually assaulting well over two dozen children, many of whom were indigenous young girls from Oaxaca, a state in southern Mexico known for its large indigenous population.
Due to the significant influence that the Catholic Church wields in Mexico, the priest won't face any criminal charges, particularly for his crimes in areas populated by indigenous ethnic groups.
The report which first appeared on the Spanish-language news site Urgente24.com, says the priest, was absolved of any wrongdoing by the Archdiocese of Mexico.
According to Urgente24.com, only two out of the thirty rape victims have come forward to denounce the acquittal.

When, like the needy widow,  you are doing all you can in  Jehovah’s service, you have solid reason for believing 
that you are “in the faith.”
