Add these numbers up and you get 1188. Psalm: 118-8 Does this verse say something significant about God's perfect will for our lives ? The next time someone says they would like to find God's perfect will for their lives and that they want to be in the center of God's will, just point to them the center of His Word: Real middle is Psalm 118-1: "Give thanx to the Lord, for his is (good); his (love) endures forever." Psalm: 118-8 "IT IS BETTER TO TRUST IN THE LORD THAN TO PUT CONFIDENCE IN MAN." -Faith may not get you out of trouble but it gets you through it ! ------------------------------------------------------------------ Purifier: ---------- Malachi 3:3 says: "He will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver (meaning purgatory)." Let's see where did this saying come from. From a silversmith, from the process of refining silver. Silversmith must hold a piece of silver over fire and let it heat up. When needs to hold the silver in the middle of the fire where the flames are the hottest as to burn away all the impurities. Refining the silver, the silversmith must sit in fron of the hot fire the whole time. He needs to keep his eyes on the silver the entire time it was in the fire. If the silver was left a moment too long in the flames, it would be destroyed. When the silver is truly refined, you can see your image in it. (like a mirror) As you can see, this is how God keeps you in the heat of the fire to refine you and make your life resemble his life. God molds you so he can create a sculpture of his image. If today you are feeling the heat of the fire, remember that God has His eyes on you and will keep watching you until he has His image in you. However... we all have free wills and in order for that to happen you must open the door and give God the key to enter into your soul and do His will in you. / Hence, there is sense in suffering. It builds on good, at least in the long run. Matthew 23: 23-29 27: Woe unto you, scribes and pharisees, hypocrites ! For you are like unto whited sepulchres (graves), which indeed appear beautiful outward but are within full of dead men's bones, decay and all of uncleanness. "That day will begin with fire and the fire will test the quality of each person's work. If this structure stands up to it, he will get his wages - Heaven; if it is burnt down, it will be as one who goes thru fire." ( 1 Cor 3:12-15) The word "through" indicates a place and "fire" indicates soul's purification. Yes, for those of us who believed but neglegted our "spritual work" to change, - God's mercy will purify us, for we can not enter the Kingdom until we are pure and sons and daughters in words in deeds. If Catholic church or any other religios institution which requires many years of tedious eduction wants more priests, they will need to cut off on years of education to no more than 4.5, it will be more appealing. Solomon's Wisdom or simply Wisdom was not written by Solomon but it was written by Holy Spirit inspired Jew (wise, religious scholar who had similar level of education as St. Paul had). Name Solomon is synonymous with wisdom, being wise. Wisdom should be part of any Bible. Catholics & Orthodox Christians always had it! It was written about 100 years before Christ. The wisdom presented here is authentic, genuine, Spirit inspired; how can it be fake?!! It's not apocrypha, it should be essential 67th book of King James Bible or any protestant Bible, whoever decided to take it out was wrong, besides #66 is not God's number.
