    Bible Speaks got a reaction from Lorraine Reed in Pray Until Something Happens ! ~ EXPERIENCE WITH JEHOVAH ❤   
    Pray Until Something Happens ! EXPERIENCE WITH JEHOVAH ?
     
     A man was sleeping at night in his cabin when suddenly in his dreams his room filled with light and Jehovah appeared. Then Jehovah told the man he had work for him to do, and showed him a large rock in front of his cabin. Then Jehovah explained that the man was to push against the rock with all his might. 
     
    This the man did, day after day. For many years he toiled from sun up to sun down, his shoulders set squarely against the cold, massive surface of the unmoving rock, pushing with all his might.
     
    Each night the man returned to his cabin sore, and worn out, feeling that his whole day had been spent in vain.
     
    Seeing that the man was showing signs of discouragement, the Adversary Satan decided to enter the picture by placing thoughts into the man's weary mind: "You have been pushing against this rock for a long time, and it hasn't budged. Why kill yourself over this? You are never going to move it." 
     
    Thus giving the man the impression that the task was impossible and that he was a failure. These thoughts discouraged and disheartened the man. "Why kill myself over this?" he thought. "I'll just put in my time, giving just the minimum effort and that will be good enough."
     
    And that is what he planned to do until one day he decided to make it a matter of prayer and take his troubled thoughts to Jehovah. "Jehovah," he said, "I have labored long and hard in your service, putting all my strength to do that which you have asked. Yet, after all this time, I have not even budged that rock by half a millimeter. What is wrong? Why am I failing?"
     
    Then Jehovah responded compassionately, "My friend, when I asked you to serve, and you accepted, I told you that your task was to push against the rock with all your strength, which you have done. Never once did I mention to you that I expected you to move it. Your task was to push.
     
    And now you come to me, with your strength spent, thinking that you have failed. But, is that really so? 
     
    Look at yourself. Your arms are strong and muscular, your back sinewy and brown, your hands are callused from constant pressure, and your legs have become massive and hard. 
     
    Through opposition you have grown much and your abilities now surpass that which you used to have. Yes, you haven't moved the rock. 
     
    But your calling was to be obedient and to push and to exercise your faith and trust in My wisdom. This you have done. I, my friend, will now move the rock."
     
    At times, when we hear a word from God, we tend to use our own intellect to decipher what He wants, when actually what God wants is just simple obedience and faith in Him....By all means, exercise the faith that moves mountains, but know that it is still God who moves the mountains.
     
    When everything seems to go wrong, just P.U.S.H.! W hen the job gets you down, just P.U.S.H.! When people don't react the way you think they should, just P.U.S.H.! When your money is short and the bills are due, just P.U.S.H.! When people just don't understand you, just P.U.S.H.!

    Bible Speaks reacted to Bible Speaks in The Russian government has sent the European court of human rights (Echr) to the European court of human rights (Echr) objections in the case, "   
    The Russian government is responding to the European court of human rights.
    Our organization had sued this government for the pursuit of our religion. We copy the complete article understandable to what the Russian government is responding to. In my life I've seen more lie per square meter.
    ________________________
    The Russian government has sent the European court of human rights (Echr) to the European court of human rights (Echr) objections in the case, "Jehovah's witnesses in Russia" and its leader vasily kalin, who at the end of last year complained of the Illegal settlement of a religious organization and the seizure of witnesses of the property complex located in the elite district of st. Petersburg, which costs about 2 billion rubles. According to the Russian authorities, the elimination of the organization of Jehovah's witnesses was a " positive obligation of the state."
    Russia says that Jehovah's witnesses appeal to the echr inadmissible. Article 17 of the European convention on the violation of the rights of the applicants - and asked to deny them. " the liquidation of a religious organization " the administrative centre of Jehovah's witnesses in Russia " was carried out under the provisions of existing legislation, interference with the applicant was proportionate to the legitimate objectives pursued and necessary in a democratic society ", - he declared in the Russian government's objections. At the same time, according to the document, the elimination of Jehovah's witnesses is not simply a right " the positive obligation of the state."
    The government also draws attention to the echr of the fact that the decision of the Supreme Court (SC) and the appeals board of the armed forces there is no specific prohibition or restriction of the teachings of Jehovah's witnesses. In addition, Russia said that the applicant has not provided in the complaint that the data about when and how it was owned was confiscated according to the bc decision to liquidate the "Jehovah's witnesses in Russia" and consider the " Non-reasonable " and " Abstract " statements on the value of ownership - " tens of millions ".
    Representative of Jehovah's witnesses artur leontyev considers the chances of winning the case in the echr as a " big ". " the arguments put forward by the Russian authorities in their comments, have already been done - in other similar cases, the Echr and evaluate them, take a decision in favour of the applicants and deny Russia. For example, an attempt to present the situation of the Russian authorities so that people can continue to practise their faith individually, does not hold: they already have practice of attracting people to justice.
    Religious organization "Administrative Centre of Jehovah's witnesses in Russia" and its nearly 400 regional offices were abolished in April last year by the supreme court, in the administrative statement addressed to the ministry of justice. According to the ministry of justice, the activities of Jehovah's witnesses did not meet the goals and objectives, declared in the statutes and federal law violated, in particular, the "Anti-extremism" Act. , the materials about 100 of the Jehovah's witnesses distributed have been recognized by the courts as an extremist (" how life arose?", " learn in the school of ministry," and so sucesivamente. d) and are included On the federal list of extremist materials. Prosecutors have 13 subjects received RF 18 warnings to the regional offices of the religious organization "for extremism and the spread of extremist materials". and some offices of the Lord have been liquidated by the courts.
    In the RF armed forces, the representatives of the accused denied the charges against Jehovah's witnesses. In addition, they stated that if the demand of the ministry of justice was met, the provisions of the European convention guaranteeing freedom of religion and freedom of association would be violated. However, the armed forces agreed with the arguments of the administrative claimant and, in addition to the liquidation, decided to convert the property of the organization into state ownership. In July 2017, the supreme court of appeal recognized this decision as legitimate and justified.
    In the same year, the st. Petersburg District Court, at the request of The Supervisory Authority has paid the property of Russia property complex in the elite neighborhood of the capital of the north - the people of solar and is owned by a Legal person "Watchtower" (Watch Tower Bible and mathematical society of Pennsylvania, United States). Uu. ), the main organization of Jehovah's Jehovah's witnesses. It consists of two plots of land and 14 buildings, houses and offices, cadastral value of which is about 850 million rubles., and commercial, according to Jehovah's witnesses, around 2 A billion rubles., including the equipment in the building. This decision was confirmed by the court of appeal of the st. Petersburg municipal court in early may of this year.
    In the autumn of last year, "the administrative center of Jehovah's witnesses in Russia" and its leader vasily kalin an appeal to the echr, bearing in mind that the Russian authorities had violated the European Convention: Art. 9 (freedom of thought, conscience and religion), art. 11 (freedom of assembly and association), art. 14 (Prohibition of discrimination) and art. 1 OF PROTOCOL 1 to the European Convention (protection of property). The echr communicated the complaint and invited the government of the Russian Federation to answer questions thereon.

    Bible Speaks reacted to Bible Speaks in Would like to be called "God's Friend"?   
    Would like to be called "God's Friend"? This is what Abraham was called. He trusted God Jehovah and did not fear for his son's life. Could you do that?
    He became of Father of all Nations of the Earth see how:
    (A?bra·ham) [Father of a Crowd (Multitude)].
    The name given by Jehovah to Abram (meaning “Father Is High (Exalted)”) when he was 99 years old, and when God was reaffirming His promise that Abraham’s offspring would become many.
    (James 2:21-23) . . .Was not Abraham our father declared righteous by works after he had offered up Isaac his son upon the altar? 22 You behold that [his] faith worked along with his works and by [his] works [his] faith was perfected, 23 and the scripture was fulfilled which says: “Abraham put faith in Jehovah, and it was counted to him as righteousness,” and he came to be called “Jehovah’s friend.”

    Sisters: Please start having more children.
    Notice this quote from 2017 Watchtower Study page 4-8:
    "The Bible does mention a Christian woman’s being “kept safe through childbearing.” (1 Tim. 2:15) But this does not mean that giving birth or having children results in gaining everlasting life. Rather, it refers to the fact that a woman’s having children to tend to, along with the other aspects of caring for a household, may keep her from falling into a pattern of gossiping and meddling in others’ affairs. (1 Tim. 5:13) However, she may still face tribulations linked to marriage and family life."

    @Jack Ryan
    The WT tells us to put Jehovah first. To me a house of children which I had four kept me very busy even at times missing meetings. Sickness has to be cared for, mouths to feed. Much more would the cost of living be also. Keep it Simple! Most Women who love Jehovah put more time in helping others. In a perfect New World we will have perfect health and endless time for children. Jehovah will bless this Earth and those that live upon it forever. Now having children is a reminder of what we might like, but one day everything will be perfected and food, housing and perfect health will make it amazing! By then Jehovah will also restore my reproductive powers to be young again. Thank you for your thoughts.
