Anyone following the child trafficking videos on you tube , witnesses ?  Title. … Child traffickers use NGO’s …… The Economist

😮😔

Yes on youtube and other sites since 2017.  It's all coming to a head now. Soon the entire world will see what the carnal mind is capable of when devoid of Christ.

Thanks for the reminder.
I appears that politics and religion may be becoming closer bed fellows than had been in the recent past.
Another reason to watch our words very carefully!

Yes, I see it on YouTube - Everyone please keep politician's names and parties out of this thread!

Anyone following the child trafficking videos on you tube , witnesses ?  Title. … Child traffickers use NGO’s …… The Economist

😮😔

Sng. 5:1… Eat friends, drink, and be drunk with love,💕

John 15:14-15…. You are My friends if you do what I command you.
No longer do I call you servents for the servant does not know
what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all
that I have heard from My Father, I have made known to you.

Aren’t we glad to be drunk on  God’s love and not the wine of her fornication?
I want more and more 😃
I Love you all. In Christ, Pamela

Slightly off-topic, but I hope you don't mind, Wendy. This quote got my attention.

"v. 13  The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate."

It's amazing how long the spiritual definition of "the fear of the Lord" eluded me until now. I know we are told to fear the Lord, but verses like 1Jn_4:18 that say…

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

…would trip me up.

Hi Rene



Thanks that’s just what I was looking for .

God bless

Hi Wendy,

Ray talked about Wisdom at the Nashville conference 2008.  Here is one of the audio links to this conference.  It is at the end of this audio.

Here is the transcript:

WISDOM

There it is. “Wisdom is the principal thing.” Now go over to chapter 8, it talks about wisdom personified.

Pro 8:1  Doth not wisdom cry? and understanding put forth her voice?

v. 6  Hear; for I will speak of excellent things; and the opening of my lips shall be right things.

v. 12  I wisdom dwell with prudence, and find out knowledge of witty inventions.
v. 13  The fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogance, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate.
v. 14  Counsel is mine, and sound wisdom: I am understanding; I have strength.
v. 15  By me kings reign, and princes decree justice.
v. 16  By me princes rule, and nobles, even all the judges of the earth.
v. 17  I (wisdom) love them that love me; and those that seek me early shall find me.
v. 18  Riches and honor are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness.
v. 19  My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
v. 20  I lead in the way of righteousness, in the midst of the paths of judgment:

v. 22  The LORD possessed me in the beginning of His way, before His works of old.
v. 23  I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever (before) the earth was.

Wisdom is speaking in the first person, “I” wisdom. “I” was with the Lord in the beginning before there ever was any works. “I” was set up… ever the earth was.” Before there was an earth.

Pro 8:24  When there was no depths, I was brought forth, when there were no fountains abounding with waters, 
v. 25  Before mountains were settled, Before the hills was, I brought forth. 
v. 26  While as yet He had not made the earth, or the fields or the highest parts of the dusts of the world.
v. 27  When He prepared the heavens I was there, when He set a compass upon the face of the earth,
v. 28   When He established the clouds above: when He strengthened the fountains of the deep:

Who was there with God? [Wisdom]  Wisdom! Before anything was made, who was there with God? [Wisdom] Wisdom! Where did it come from? It took a little digging to get this out. 

Verse 24 “When there was no depths, I was brought forth.” Now before I get into that, understand that terms that applied to us are applied to God. The Bible talks about men of power… does God have power? [Yes] Is the power that God possesses greater or lesser than the power men possesses? [Greater] Much greater, considerably greater, infinitesimally more greater. 

Does God have mercy? [Yes] Does He have more mercy than men? [Yes]

Does God have love? [Yes] Same love that we have, right, same amount? [No] You cannot compare the love that God has with the love that we have. Yes we have love and we kind of know what it means. But it can not be compared with the love that God has.

Therefore whatever words are applied to us, when they are applied to Him it’s infinitesimally more greater and more profound. Agreed? [Yes] Okay. 

The word there “brought forth” is H2342 chûl (khool, kheel) A primitive root; properly to twist or to dance (in some contexts, but there is only one application of it), to writhe in pain… 

Not just to hurt…  you know ‘writhing’ in pain, when you can’t even think straight. 

- bear, bring forth, calve, great, grieve, grievous, be in pain, sore, sorrow, travail (with pain).

Those are powerful words aren’t they. If you went through all that you would think you were in childbirth. Guess what this word means here, “I was brought forth”? Travailed - birthed. Can this mean what it says? 

Before God could create us and the universe and creatures in His own likeness, He had to know how to do it. How hard was that? ‘Oh but nothing is too hard for God.’ There is nothing 'too hard' for God. Too hard, that means impossible, but how close to that does it come? Are things very very hard for God at times? Did God ever do a honest days work? Did God ever suffer? Was God ever longsuffering? Did He have to have patience? 

He could not build this universe until He possessed the wisdom to do it before the creation came, the master plan and the wisdom to do it. How did He get that wisdom? He birthed it! Under the travail and pain and agony, that He passed on to women to experience a minute little insignificant part of what it is like to bring about children that are going to be in the image of God. 

He travailed with pain and agony, until wisdom was birthed out of Him, so that He could now build the universe. It says so! Well you can say, ‘I don’t see it.’ I don’t care, this wisdom was with Him before the heavens and the earth, it was with Him. But where did it come from? He birthed it with great pain, travail and sorrow. It was difficult for God! So don’t think that God hasn’t done anything for us. 

God has never suffered? God has never had to work hard? God has never had to go long periods of time and not get what it is He wanted? Don’t think that way anymore. You have a Father in heaven that can identify with everything you are.

Hi everyone


I pray everyone is well
Does anyone know which video of Rays he talks about God and wisdom in the video
Thanks
God bless
Wendy

Thank you for the prayers.  We had hugs from family  we hadn’t seen or heard from in a long time so that was a blessing. Though he had some faults, my brother loved his children well and that kept being told over and over again.   Love covers a multitude of sins.  I’m praying for God’s mercy and his timetable.
