This channel is about being encouraged from how God worked in the lives of various Bible characters. These videos were originally sent out for encouragement midway through the week. God wants to fan the flame of the faith that He has given to us in Jesus Christ. My hope is that you will be encouraged by these videos also ... God loves you!
I am Pastor Tom Wilson and I have been a pastor for over 30 years. I am the pastor of Strong Tower Baptist Church in Saint Joseph, Missouri. This channel used to hold different content ... in fact I have had this channel for years ... but recently I decided to update it as a site expressly used for spiritual encouragement.
My hope is that you will be blessed and encouraged by watching these videos ... and if you have landed on this channel I want you to know that the God of the universe is pursuing a relationship with you that is real and personal. May God bless you as you respond to His desire to have a relationship with you!
Great breakdown and insight about the Divine Presence blessing Obed Edom and his descendants. I found an interesting side point in the Jewish Encyclopedia: "During the time that the Ark was with him Obed-edom, he used to light a candle before it twice daily, early in the morning and again at evening." I couldn't find any scripture proving this, but according to other sources this was included to show that Obed Edom respected the Ark.
Yes the Bible warns: Touch not my anointed one, and we who are babtised in Christ 's spirit are anointed, therefore we should see to it that we carry our vessels which is our body on poles the legs and arms to minister to God. We must be lead in places where God will be glorified both physically and spiritually, and more can be said around this 🙏🙏🏿🙏🏾🙏🏼🙏🏻
wows 🤗 I know her and I have also been trading with her, she's such an amazing woman with good skills keep me happy all week knowing I earn 15thousand extra income trading with her.
Anna's 2 cents; who cares about Jacob? Leahs life was basically ruined, because of Labin's selfishness & greed! The spiritual side of the story , is beautiful. but reality. in the physical is sad. Leah, Bilhah, & ziplah, were basically used as baby factories, while Rachel was loved & cherished! This seems to be the legacy, of women down through the ages. This is only my take on the story, cause it makes me furious, as well, as sad. I sympathise. with Leah, as I am sure other women do too! She deserved her own husband, & she still could contribute to having the 12 tribes of Isreal!
hey there... I understand how you feel and in much of my life i related to leah so much... I have actually just watched avsermon that healed me, and showed how Jacob actually chose to bury Leah at his ancestral grounds and asked for his body to be taken to the same place... and from Leah came Jesus... also looking at how her first three sons were named as looking for the love of Jacob but, her fourth son she turned her eyes and praised God! If you notice in Matthew 2:18 it says Rachel was weeping for her children, not Leah because Leah's offspring Jesus survived... Leah was so instrumental in the salvation story and it is our desire to be loved that's true but in Leah's story it was God who completed her not Jacob.
She couldnt have contributed to having the tribes of israel if they had not come from jacob. Life is hard regardless God blessed her with those children of that lineage. God takes all our pain and struggles and uses it for good. You have to ask and seek Jesus on these questions. How they relate to your life etc. Not judging you or thwt i know better. It is honest human questions but Gods ways are higher than our ways so ask Him for understanding. God bless
Obed Edom was a Gittite, a Philistine. Is it because he sought the Lord and badly wanted to be blessed by Him that he was accepted into the tribe of the Levites?
This is the 4th or so time I've heard this verse in the past week, I've even dreamed about it. I hear you God, vengeance is yours and I will submit to you, your way is always better. "If your enemy is thirsty give him drink, if hungry give him food, for in doing so you heap burning coals unto his head." Like the fiery coal which burned the lips to purify, not to destroy.
We all do bro, just ask him for it he's not holding out. His mercies are new each day. He loves us, has a covenant of peace with us, never leaves nor forsakes us no matter our failings. Much love. 💙
It's for me, my delay in marriage, came to check about obed topic but found this new video saying about marriage. Made me smile, our God is mighty God 🌸
@@ezrahgaming will he did steal his brother Essau's birthright by tricking his dying father . (Payback came when his father-in-law tricks him and gives him Leah instead of rachel after 7 years of labor. )
The bible shows how we all fall short and are unworthy but through Him we are redeemed. Seek Him further for understanding. His ways are higher than our ways. Trust Him He is not a liar when He says He is a good father.
The bible no where says three Magi, it says Wise Men and no where does it mention three. They theorize from the three gifts. Sad we do not stick to what the Bible says period. Daniel was a wise man and in Daniel 2:27 he makes a distinction between the Wise Men, Astrologers, magicians and soothsayers. Daniel and his companions weren't magi, short for magicians, they were Wise Men. Let the bible interpret the bible.
