Acts 3:18-24 … 18 But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled. 19 Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; 20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was *preached unto you: 21 Whom the heaven must receive until the times (*sss) of *restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began. 22 For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you. 23 And *it shall come to pass, that every soul, which *will *not *hear *that *prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people. 24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days. KJV

Trapper, your opening paragraph- in your post- as to- ?.what is ‘support’ is something we all balance as we speak, talk, post, publicly reflect and investigate here in CZland. IMO … this ‘forum’ is about ‘support’ but ?can we ‘support’, give sustenance (support) toward another without… also- together by our posting… mixed with our personal witness directed or pointed to judicious counsel (‘preaching’- helpful agitation- if that’s the personal case)…at least… providing The Council-Meeting (Councilor) with Scripture/s (if it ‘touches them, too) by another’s personal ‘works’ (worship- devotion- witness) with Christ ?is this NOT under our personal service- Under Christ- in the war?two sides (Truth or propaganda false-truth) of warfare that is ‘preached’? ... I agree ‘God’ is personal- as well- it boils down to a personal interaction with God: God/Father, God/The Son/Christ/Emmanuel, God/The Holy Spirit:

Heb 8:6-13 … 6 *But *now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the *mediator of a *better *covenant, which *was established upon better promises. 7 For *if that first covenant had been faultless, *then should *no place have been sought for *the second. 8 For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the house of Judah: 9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. 10 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people: 11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest. 12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteousness, and their sins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 13 In that he saith, A new covenant, he hath made the first old. Now that which decayeth and waxeth old is ready to vanish away. KJV

As to “It is finished…” my sincere reply… The New Covenant Elements (SPIRITUAL HIGH PRIEST and SPIRITUAL WORTHY BLOOD are complete but the ‘WORKS’ (HIS Daily ‘WORKS-with us’ and our personal maturing are in ‘works’ (daily undertakings’ ‘works’) in this ‘flesh and blood’ body in daily ‘works’- the whole deal moves… as this plan is ‘current and moves’ day by day for right planned results). And Plans Written for daily ‘works’?... are they in phases, segments (IMO) of Christ’s Prophesies (specifics Written…about “seven events” before and at HIS RETURN…returning)?... yes! is my belief-answer- One plan is FINISHED- again flowing eternal Life by… a HIGH PRIEST (CHRIST’S HOLY SPIRIT’S BODY) and WORTHY BLOOD in the NEW COVENANT in SPRITUAL BODY PLACES (an Eternal HIGH PRIEST-THE HOLY SPIRIT but also an “end of time events” transition events ‘works’ that will happen at the close of ‘flesh and blood –free-will plan and a new start (launched in the Old and New Testament’s Written Council- Prophecy/s) entering into another final phase ‘works’ of ‘eternal matters’ (1000years) of mortal spiritual decisions for many of immortal spiritual matters.
( perhaps I digress from your post) For myself (with life’s flood of ‘stuff’ rising above the controlled banks… banks we try to build to control ‘stuff’)…and CZland… it is easy to reflect outward on a ‘frown’, negative talk (massively) and forget to daily, also, ‘smile’, positive talk about our real blessings not just in ‘flesh and blood’ body ‘works’ but … spiritual places, ideas, beliefs, peaceful balance to off-set this ‘flesh and blood’ body’s needs, options, thoughts, renewing and shared positive hope- life with others... As many have NO spiritual Life- beliefs but ‘presently’-only this short ‘works’- walk in the propaganda focus of this ‘flesh and blood’ world age.
We can not ‘fix’ another (by our control allowing no free-will)… but can only ‘support’ (love by their free-will ‘works’) within reality’s humanity for ‘works’ (we all have limits for helping –majorly- with another… we ‘ain’t’ superman/woman- we can’t ‘fix’ everything for everyone). We pray and work and ~rest some each day~ as THE SPIRIT does ‘works’:
Titus 2:11-15 … 11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath *appeared *to *all *men,12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; 13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ; 14 Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works. 15 These things speak, and exhort, and rebuke with all authority. Let no man despise thee. KJV
Have a good day, night’s rest, lucidhunt
Rom 12:2-4 … 2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God. 3 For I say, through the grace given unto me, to every man that is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think; but to think soberly, according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith. 4 For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: KJV
Rom 12:5-18… 5 So we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another. 6 Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, whether prophecy, let us prophesy according to the proportion of faith; 7 Or ministry, let us wait on our ministering: or he that teacheth, on teaching; 8 Or he that exhorteth, on exhortation: he that giveth, let him do it with simplicity; he that ruleth, with diligence; he that sheweth mercy, with cheerfulness. 9 Let love be without dissimulation. Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good. 10 Be kindly affectioned one to another with brotherly love; in honour preferring one another; 11 Not slothful in business; fervent in spirit; serving the Lord; 12 Rejoicing in hope; patient in tribulation; continuing instant in prayer; 13 Distributing to the necessity of saints; given to hospitality. 14 Bless them which persecute you: bless, and curse not. 15 Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep. 16 Be of the same mind one toward another. Mind not high things, but condescend to men of low estate. Be not wise in your own conceits. 17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men. 18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men KJV
Heb 12:23-29 … 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. 25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29 For our God is a consuming fire.
