He is the First and Last,
The Beginning and the End!
He is the keeper of Creation and the Creator of all!
He is the Architect of the universe and the Manager of all times.
He always was, He always is, and He always will be ...
unmoved, Unchanged, Undefeated, and never Undone!
He was bruised and brought healing!
He was pierced and eased pain!
He was persecuted and brought freedom!
He was dead and brought life!
He is risen and brings power!
He reigns and brings Peace!
The world can't understand him,
The armies can't defeat Him,
The schools can't explain Him, and The leaders can't ignore Him.
Herod couldn't kill Him, The Pharisees couldn't confuse Him, and The people couldn't hold Him!
Nero couldn't crush Him, Hitler couldn't silence Him,
The New Age can't replace Him, and "Oprah" can't explain Him away!
He is light, love, longevity, and Lord.
He is goodness, Kindness, Gentleness, and God.
He is Holy, Righteous, mighty, powerful, and pure.
His ways are right,
His word is eternal,
His will is unchanging, and His mind is on me.
He is my Savior,
He is my guide, and He is my peace!
He is my Joy,
He is my comfort,
He is my Lord, and He rules my life!
I serve Him because His bond is love,
His burden is light, and His goal for me is abundant life.
I follow Him because He is the wisdom of the wise,
the power of the powerful,
the ancient of days, the ruler of rulers, the leader of leaders, the overseer of the overcomers, and is to come. And if that seems impressive to you, try this for size.
His goal is a relationship with ME!
He will never leave me,
never forsake me,
never mislead me,
never forget me,
never overlook me and
never cancel my appointment in His appointment book!
When I fall, He lifts me up!
When I fail, He forgives!
When I am weak, He is strong!
When I am lost, He is the way!
When I am afraid, He is my courage!
When I stumble, He steadies me!
When I am hurt, He heals me!
When I am broken, He mends me!
When I am blind, He leads me!
When I am hungry, He feeds me!
When I face trials, He is with me!
When I face persecution, He shields me!
When I face problems, He comforts me!
When I face loss, He provides for me!
When I face Death, He carries me Home!
He is everything for everybody everywhere, every time, and every way.
He is God, He is faithful. I am His, and He is mine!
My Father in heaven can whip the father of this world.
So, if you're wondering why I feel so secure, understand this...
He said it and that settles it.
God is in control, I am on His side,
and that means all is well with my soul.
Everyday is a blessing for GOD Is!

Genesis 6:7 - men made the mistake. men sinned. So God decided to wipe them away. God did not make a mistake for creating men. men has free will. Exodus 32:14 - God didnt screw up there. He put this into the Bible to show us that even though the people sinned enough that He would've destroyed them, He didn't and instead was merciful. Judges 2:18 - wheres the mistake? I Samuel 15:35 - God chose Saul as king because He wanted to show the people that they were wrong in needing a king: 1 samuel chapter 8. He did not make a mistake in choosing the "wrong" king II Samuel 24:16 - If you read a paragraph above, you see that David knows the Lord is merciful. God is showing His wrath and then His mercy. Not changing His mind. I Chron 21:15 - repeat of the previous verse. Psalm 106:45 - I just dont see the screw-up. Israel was full of sin so God punished them. Yet, out of His love he relented. Does not mean He made a mistake punishing them. They deserved it. Jer 26:19 - Again, shows the Lord's love, not mistake. Amos 7:3, 6 - all shows God's compassion. (you cant just look at the word "repent" they are all translations that could be inaccurate). He is your Father in heaven. When a parent punishes his child for doing wrong, does the parent not have compassion and stops or not punish? Does that mean it was a mistake to punish in the first place? Does it mean the parent is flip-flopper and cant decide whether to punish the child? Your saying why didnt God just create everything perfect and righteous? well, if He did, then we would not be able to see His mercy, grace and His perfectness and righteousness. God was with them. God wanted the people to stop expanding at the plains, so that they get according to what was promised. Therefore, they stopped and could not overcome iron chariots.

Sorry but you can not 'do' anything to save yourself...All you can do is accept the free gift of God that He offers to you through His Son and the sacrifice that He made on the cross for you. Romans 10:9 and 10 says to confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus is the Son of God, that He was crucified and buried and raised on the third day to sit at the right hand of God...YOU SHALL BE SAVED =) Just do that right where you are and then tell somebody and get to a good Bible based Church. and WELCOME to the family!! The angels will be rejoicing in Heaven the second that you give your heart to God. Just don't think that you'll never make another mistake...but try to live the best you can and know that when you do make mistakes just run TO God and tell Him about it and ask for forgiveness. Then move on. And like ANY good Dad He has given us 'rules' in His 'rulebook' to keep us safe. I don't know of ANY parent who would not teach their child about touching a hot stove.

You should pray without ceasing, but that is not what gets you salvation. The only thing that will get you saved is knowing that you're a sinner and accepting Jesus's gift of salvation, because he died on the cross so that we can be saved. After that, you should change from your old ways and start following Jesus's example.

Jesus warned us against trying to pray so many times or in such fancy ways in order to please God. He also warned us against praying in public in order to impress others with our holiness. (I know you didn't say this, but I thought I'd throw that in.)
Jesus told us to worship God in spirit and in truth, and also recommended that we pray in private.
I think the most important thing here is to be honest before God; just get before him and tell him what's in your heart. Don't try to impress him; just talk to him, person-to-person, remembering that he, of course, is the bigger person.
If you need help, you could start with the Lord's Prayer ("Our Father"). Also look at the Psalms, which are prayers; read a psalm to God as if you were reading him a love poem.

To save yourself, you must confess that you are a sinner and ask the Lord to forgive you of your sins. Ask Him to come into your heart and make it anew, in Him! It is as simple as that!
I will tell you, this is the first step but, to develop and learn, you must truly seek the Lord God with all your heart mind and soul! If you seek Him, you will surely find Him!
Prayer, is merely conversation with our Lord. Very important, conversation! Just open your heart and let the words flow! Tell Him all your burdens and they will become light! Seek the Lord through scripture. You will be amazed at the knowledge He will pour out to you if your heart is sincere. He imparts that which we seek!
I am going to be praying for you and one lof those prayers will be for you to find a place where you can learn and grow in your faith and in His wisdom!

To be saved you need to believe in Jesus..that He died for your sins. You also need to ask forgiveness from your sins and then God promises to forgive them. Eternal life is a gift and there is nothing we can do to earn it. God would like for you to talk to Him like you would talk to a friend....as much as you like. He wants to hear everything you are thinking, everything you would like, and the things that upset you. There is no set number of times to talk to Him. I will pray for you to get to know God better. Read His Word every day and just talk to Him.

I am not sure of the Obligatory Prayers from the Book of Moses. Those that during the time of Moses completed their obligatory prayers sincerly were successful. But, a Prophet came after him - Jesus. I am not sure of the Obligitory Prayers from the Book of Jesus. Those that during the time of Jesus completed their obligatory prayers sincerely were successful. But, the Last Prophet came after him - Muhammad. Those from the arrival of the Last Prophet to the Day of Judgement that complete their obligatory prayers sincerely will be successful, with the Mercy of God.

Depends which religion you belong to, which I can tell this is mocking religion so its none. In islam you pray ...6? times a day. In Judaism males pray 3 times plus when you need to. In most other religions just do it often.
