To the one who is reading this comment, this prayer is for you. I pray that God will wipe away every tear and pain that you are going through right now. That he will comfort you and your moments of loneliness and sorrow. The bible said “Come unto me all who are weary and are heavy burdened. I will give you rest”. Praying for you all. In Jesus Name. Amen
Sorry, but he was a founder of the Shepherding Movement, which was not of God and devastated many in the Body of Christ. His first wife was distraught with his involvement. Derek Prince withdrew in 1983, stating his belief that "we were guilty of the Galatian error: having begun in the Spirit, we quickly degenerated into the flesh."
This is TERRIFYING 💯👀💯 LORD Please Help Me... I desperately pray for deliverance from drinking...!!! It's not my will any longer to drink... My heart literally can't take the withdrawals & I'm scared. Please Lord. In Jesus name Amen.
SURRENDER your addiction and desire for alcohol to Jesus. Please do this. Please tell God all thats in your heart and mind. Then say this prayer "Lord i cant, but you can and you will take care of all this. Thank you for acting. Jesus i trust in you. Jesus i trust in you. Jesus i trust in you " When you do the above you are casting your cares fully on God . Below is Gods promise for doing this- "Cast your cares on the lord and he will sustain you " Please also say this prayer and repeat it ALOUD often " Jesus i SURRENDER myself to you, take care of everything " REPEAT THE ABOVE PROCESS as and when NECESSARY (when worry or fear come back). IT WORKS
If you've received the Holy Spirit, you've been made perfect forever. The Bible (and I only use the KJV because it is the only perfect translation) in no place says true salvation can be lost-period. Rest in that and praise Him for it.
I am grateful for my total deliverance from sleeping pills addiction & illegal prescription drugs addiction. The lord also delivered me completely from sexual demons that tormented & polluted my dream for years! Praise God forever!!!
Thank you Lord for Derek Prince and his ministry and thank you to all those involved in making them available. The Lord bless you and reward you all for your faithfulness.
Audio bible often, that's my go to. I learn something new everytime I've heard it over the years. "Faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the word of God." "The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life."
Faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the word of God. The anointed word of God allows us to hear and when we respond to what is heard, faith is born ✨
The foolish virgins demonstrated great determination in several ways: They waited for the bridegroom, even when he was delayed. They slept on-site, showing their commitment to staying close to the event. When they realized their mistake, they went to buy oil and returned, showing persistence. They knocked on the door, still hoping to join the feast. However, despite their determination, their lack of preparation at the critical moment (not having enough oil) was the decisive factor. Their efforts-while admirable-came too late because they did not address the fundamental issue of being ready when the bridegroom arrived.
Had a waking vision. I was sitting in my office chair in the middle of the day. Was in my chair then I opened a door to the clouds. I looked out at the cloud ground and the edges of the cloud ground. I walked out on it. I must have been in a glorified body because all burden was gone. I felt so lite like I could fly as peace saturated me. I was the only one there. I saw an edge to the cloud ground and walked over to look down. When I got to the edge to look down as soon as I looked down I was back in my office chair. I've been there. It was beautiful!
That is so awesome, Jeremiah. What a wonderfulf blessing. Thank you so much for sharing. I got to enjoy some of the vision from what your shared. Wonderful way to start the day.:)
@@tonyschwartz6712 Had many dreams of sudden destruction too. Along with dreams of people being taken in the Snatching Away. Thanks for reading Brother. Told God I would tell the people.

@@jeremiahkirby6552 Wow, Jeremiah. Thank you so much for sharing a little more of your testimony. We seem to run in the same circles :).for good preaching/teaching and you had mentioned your cancer survival in past comments I have viewed and I leave "likes" to your posts a lot , but I wasn't aware you had 3 strokes. You are an amazing example that if someone is anointed, they don't get to go home early! 😁 But, more rewards too. Light temporary affliction. :) All of your comments are so inspiring. As hard as things have been, a big harvest of souls is coming in. We know the narrow road is hard and both lambs and sheep need your encouragement and to witness your gratitude for every little blessing. Your posts are so uplifting. I enjoy and learn so much from the gems in the comment section. I'll look forward to meeting you in Heaven. I'm shut-in at home over life threatening chemical sensitivities & these connections have been af such a blessing in the midst of a lot of isolation. As much as I dislike suffering, it sure does refine us and help us to grow spiritually. God bless you, Brother!
@@tonyschwartz6712 Thanks Tony, I can take credit, those posts wrote themselves. I watched the comments separate the wheat from the chaff. People give me praise. I don't deserve it. It's all the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, all glory to them. For I am just a dirty rag made white as snow and I am what he says I am. God bless your tender heart Tony! What you wrote meant a lot though. Thanks! I'm just willing for them to use me. I've heard the Fathers voice and I've heard the Lord's voice. I have not seen them that I know of. FOR HE IS WITH US WHILE WE WALK A HARD PATH. I may have died when I was 12 and the neurosurgeon stuck a needle through my brain to get to my tumor. I'm not sure.

@@jeremiahkirby6552 Wow. I died in 1995 at age 31 in a hospital alone after getting sicker for years and about 15 minutes later, God said "Get Up You Are Well!!" The most thundering voice I had ever heard. Jesus was there too and the power of the Holy Spirit had brought me back so the whole Trinity was there. I walked out of the hospital in bare feet.:) I was made well, but got left a thorn of reacting to man made chemicals and the phthlates in the scented detergents now that came on the scene big time about 10 years ago are so pervasive and deadly for me, I can't leave my home now again. Life has been hard, as I know yours has, but I'm so grateful for everything I have learned on this journey and in the furnace of affliction. But, I'm really looking forward to not coming back next time, Jeremiah, as I'm sure you are too. 😁 I'm glad we are still here for the great harvest of souls though. God has work for us to do! :)
Derek Prince really was one of the greatest Bible teachers. And he's so unassuming & easygoing in his delivery & style which just enhances it more, imo.
if it's a sin to be drunk with wine, then it's also a sin not to be filled with the Holy Spirit what a lesson sir, you are not here today but the Word of the Lord still speaks through your lectures.
Thank you, LORD. This is what I am looking for. Thank You for the life of Derek Prince, who gives me more precise insight about the Parable of the Ten Virgins. I want to walk closely with you, LORD. In Jesus' mighty name. 🙏
I would like to thank you for posting these videos. Derek Prince is now a part of the great cloud of witnesses. Praise GOD. JESUS CHRIST rules and reigns victorious over sin and death.
NEVER EVER GIVE UP ON THE LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST,……….. WHY?,……….. BECAUSE HE NEVER GAVE UP ON US,…………PRAISE HIS PERFECT PRECIOUS AND WONDERFULL NAME,………….. AMEN
WOOW I really love this teaching. I've never heard anyone daring to say that before, but I'm pretty sure Derek Prince is right in his way of interpreting the 10 virgins.
Is there a second part? Wanted to hear about the white robes! I've always believed it is Ephesians 5:26 Also His blood is our robe of righteousness! Isaiah 61:10 Wanted to hear what His thoughts were though! Really great teaching! So just as we're continually filled with His Spirit(oil) by prayer, fasting, dying to the flesh we are built up on our most Holy Faith(gold) by praying in the SPIRIT is how we will endure to the end! Jude 1:20 When His praise is on our lips continually the devil has to flee! Psalm 34:1, James 4:7🔥
Set: There are three separate and distinct garments and three separate and distinct kingdoms to come. There will be a New Heaven with day and night, they will be wearing white robes. There will be a New Earth with day and night, they will be wearing white raiment. The Bride of the Lamb will wear White linen. AFTER the 1,000 year reign of Jesus comes to a close and His appointed replacement takes the throne Jesus will enter the New City, where there is no night, WITH His bride and she will exchange her garment of white linen for a dress of Jasper. There she will remain with Jesus seated in the throne for eternity. Have a nice day.
Titus 3:5-6 (KJV) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
I had a dream 4 days ago, of which interpretation and understanding I did not know until yesterday 05/07/2023. The dream: There was a house with one floor quite big. The gates were wide open and the doors of the house be it the front,the back or side doors, were all open as well. The reason for these all doors and the gates to be open was that people could enter in and going out freely to get ready and prepare the house and themselves for an event which was about to come, a wedding. All these people knew each other like neighbours, friends or relatives. I saw myself in a bedroom on the first floor were there was a young lady sitted on the edge of the bed and was looking at the two wedding dresses that were on the hangers beside the wall. I approached the young bride and I intended to ask her what is that which retains her from dressing and getting ready, but as I took the action to approach her, another young lady came by and told me "no, she must wear the red dress first before the white one, but she doesn't want" so I asked the young bride "how come you don't want to wear the red dress, it is impossible for you to put on the white dress before wearing the red dress first, it is just no way for this to be possible. Don't you know that red means the blood of the Lamb, which is the Blood of Jesus who wash our sins away? "as I was finishing my message I woke up. I was praying to the Lord to reveal to me the interpretation of this dream, so the Lord by His Grace gave me the understanding. The preparation of the wedding banquet have started, the bride which are the believers are not all ready to go with the Lord because they have not washed their robes clean in the blood of the Lamb. Even as the young bride in the dream, she was reluctant and did not want to wear the red dress so many refuse to go through the afflictions and suffering that the cross requires to transform their lives and to be washed from their sins. Glory to God Maranatha our Lord is Coming 🙌🙌🙌.

”Let the righteous smite me; It shall be a kindness: And let him reprove me; It shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head.“ Psalm 141:5 KJV
@@fe8018 fast, pray, bible reading, audio bible, biblical content, stopping sins, repenting, renewing the mind; basically faithfulness and sacrifice. Seeking the truth continuously. Humbling oneself with ALL the teachings of the Bible.
Revelation 3:15-19 (KJV) I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth. Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked: I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. John 12:24-26 (KJV) Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
The key to understand Ten Virgin parables is in previous chapter Matthew 24, Jesus advised His disciples to be a watchful servants and be a faithful servants. “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your...". “Who then is the faithful and wise servant, ..." then Jesus gave the parable of the Ten Virgins to describe what happen with the foolish and the wise / watchful servants , and the parable of bag of gold, to describe what happen to the lazy and the faithful servants. what is the meaning of the ten virgin parable ? oil is required to keep the lamp burning, and the lamp should keep burning while waiting for the groom, without the burning lamp the bride won't be able to meet the groom. We will find the answer from Israelites, they keep the lamp burning in God's temple, (wikipedia, sanctuary lamp), It symbolizes God's eternal presence and is therefore never extinguished. be watchful means don't let Jesus glory depart from us, whatever the reason. be faithful means be fruitful, to know and to keep doing God's will.
Do a study on wise and wisdom, then do a study on the fool, the foolish, and very importantly do a study on what is faith or Belief. They mean obey. Obey His commandments. That is our part. Remember, even the demons believe.
It’s not a price to get the Holy Spirit it’s a gift.....a gift is that someone who dearly loved and gave you something out of his love......but we usually not using the gift because we are not using it anymore ,that’s why when you are not reading the word of God ,The Holy Spirit will feel like that we are not like depending on him , that’s why we have to appreciate the gift that Jesus gave......we have to use the gifts thats been given to us and use it in our church ,that’s why Paul said I thank God I prayed in tongues more than you.......everyday u are breathing you need to show Jesus that you loved the gift that he gave you because if you want to know God , GOD IS LOVE
He could be right but here is my interpretation of the parable. The virgins are just broken into two groups one representing believers who have the holy spirit one representing unbelievers who do not have the holy spirit that is consistent with the theme of the rest of the New Testament and the new Covenant. All people will be one day meeting the Lord Jesus and resurrected from the dead the righteous to eternal life and the unrighteous to judgment and death. The Bible says the fool says in his heart there is no God. Fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom. John 3:16 those who accept Christ will not perish but have eternal life those who reject Christ will Perish. So those who are saved are wise, are known by the Lord, and our filled with the Holy Spirit, and therefore are prepared for the return of the Lord. The foolish cannot borrow off the wise, in other words you cannot live off the faith of another person. And when the lord comes back it's too late to repent at that time which is why are the foolish virgins who went off to buy some oil were too late. In summary this parable was just consistent with what we know of the literal parts of scripture where there are always two groups: the sheep in the goats, the wheat and the tares, the wicked and the righteous and so on.
What if the predarists are right, what if the millennial riegn has come and gone? If we are in the little season, how do we apply this scripture in our life?
@@kenrussell1635 The Millenial Reign is after Jesus Christ coming and before the Judgement Day. The purpose of the 1,000-year reign is to fulfill various promises God made to the world. We know it hasn´t happened yet, because the world will be reigned by Jesus himself, God will lift the curse on the earth so animals and the earth will be restored to prosperity and peace, and the evil one will be bound. The world couldn´t be far from that right now. We are in the 11th hour, so Jesus is coming soon.
I agree except the unwise were believers. They are like a lot of religions nowadays they go to church and say they believe but they have not accepted Christ and put him first in their life. They weren’t ready. And you’re right you can’t borrow someone else’s faith. There’s a lot of churches that don’t preach salvation and it will be One of the greatest failures ever. One church in particular thinks that they are the one true church that Jesus started, and they are the only ones for sure that are going to heaven, but they do not preach salvation and they cannot get there without Jesus!
Brothers and Sisters - I have an earnest question. If the five foolish virgins - who represent a type of Christian - let’s say those of us who profess their faith in Christ (they go to church, they serve, they love God, etc.) - but live a partially worldly life… does that mean those Christians will not inherit the Kingdom? If so, doesn’t this parable mean that I have to do works to continually earn salvation? This is a troubling and frightening parable!
Psalm 116:17 , Psalm 27:6 , Psalm 4:5 . (Sacrifices we can offer to God) 1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.

'When they had bought the oil and arrived, the door was shut. And Jesus said: I never knew you. How do you understand that? This was my understanding: they were never among Gods elect. They'd come in and God knew they wouldn't pass the test. Thats the way I see it' - Derek prince (8:10 - 8:34) . Can someone help me, i'm not familiar with Dereks work and religious (christian) thinking and teachings. Can someone tell me how I have to understand Dereks 'They were never among Gods elect.'? Thank you.
Scripture says that a day is coming, a famine, not of bread or water, but of hearing the Word of God. Jesus said that blessed are they that hear the Word of God and KEEP it. Jesus spoke of a wise servant that prepared and distributed a word in season to those lost in the commotion, likened to the preparation of both Joseph and Obadiah. As in the days of Noah, Jesus advised to lay up in store for a similar metaphorical time, where he was tasked to bring in all types of food to sustain every creature in the ark. Conclusion: The oil is The Word of God. Whatever level of internal sustenance one can maintain from memory is the volume in the lamp. The extra vessel with the lamp is your physical Bible. You cannot let go of that because you need it yourself. Going to buy one if you didn't heed Jesus' other parables such as "return not to your house" "take nothing out of your house" or "go not up to the rooftop".... that might become perilous. Make sure you always have your, or a Bible on you at all times, just think about Moses' words, bind them on your hand, as frontlets before your eyes... If you are a person "of means", please take up this charge, millions are going to need it. One day, we will rejoice , but with sadness also, as God is not willing that ANY should perish.
When God calls people foolish it clearly means unbelief.... Proverbs 9:10 The fear of the Lord as the beginning of wisdom and knowledge of the Holy one is understanding. Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to be pleasing for the comer to God must believe that he exists and a reward is gained by his original seekers.
Thank you sir. John.8.31 - Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. John.14.21 - He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him." John.15.14 - You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. Please read Luke. 17.5 to 17.10. Luke.17.5 - And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith". Luke.17.10 - So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, "We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do."' If we obey his words Mathew chapter 5,6,7, and keep in mind that we have done what was our duty, then Jesus may count us loved and so, like filled with oil.
I used to believe the oil meant being filled with the Holy Spirit. But then I got thinking, I know many people that love God with all there heart, they just have not had teaching, or have had bad teaching on the HS. Will they miss the rapture just because of bad teaching... As I with thinking about it, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and told me I was looking at the wrong thing, instead of oil, I should be looking at the lamp... Thy WORD is a lamp unto my feet.... the wise stayed in the Word of God and went to a GOOD church and filled up there oil, the foolish did not spend time in the Word, and did not go to church, or they went to a religious, dead church, therefore they ran dry.
WOW! He got it right! I am stunned and happy someone else got it. Salvation is indeed the free gift of God. Everything else, including the rapture, is earned.
Lamp relates to light, lightening the way or to enlighten(teachings and doctrines etc). Oil is used for anointing. Anointing is the ritual act of pouring aromatic oil over a person's head or entire body. The primary purpose of anointing with the holy anointing oil was to sanctify, to set the anointed person or object apart as qodesh, or "holy" (Exodus 30:29). Priests, prophets and kings were anointed. Exodus 40:9 Take the anointing oil and anoint the TABERNACLE and everything in it; consecrate it and all its furnishings, and it will be holy. Moses was instructed to “anoint” the “tabernacle”. The Word/Christ, the flesh, is the “tabernacle”. Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us. You saw Christ as an “idol” which led to you looking skyward for the returning of your King, coming from the sky(literally) for his kingdom(which is not going to happen), when, if you had “eyes” to see would have known how the tabernacle(in our midst), which is Christ, would look like. But since you are clueless, you have denied Christ in “the flesh”(no oil in your teachings/lamp) 1Jn 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the ANTICHRIST you heard is coming, and even now is ALREADY in the world. In other words, if your lamp carries no oil(Matt 25:3), it means in your doctrines or teachings you have left out or have no oil to anoint “the tabernacle”(house of god in your land/nation) in our midst. You have DENIED Christ, and Christ shall also deny you. Mat 10:32 Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven. Mat 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven. The “oil” has gone to the east. The WEST(in god we trust) is burning(your House is on fire). Joh 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. Th doctrines of man(of Abrahamic religion) have brought damNATION.
1 Peter 1:7 KJVS [7] That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ: Revelation 3:18-19 KJVS [18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. [19] As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. See 12th chapter of Hebrews.
I truly believe that he is an amazing God centered man. I have never seen Derek Prince before today and I am blessed by all his work and will keep listening to his sermons. What I have been shown is something for the time of the end…. The Mark of the Beast will be in effect when Jesus comes for His Bride.. Matthew 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that SELL and BUY for yourselves. 10 And while they went to BUY, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. The foolish took the Mark of Beast and were fooled because they hung out with the Christians.. and the reason they were fooled was because they believed they would be raptured before the Mark of the Beast comes. I was shown this before being called as an evangelist.. it was 20 yrs ago n it was not even close to what I was taught so I put that journal away… 20 yrs later I am shown again but this time after years of study on Matthew 24 it now made sense. Especially when almost everywhere you go to church the majority of people believe in the false pre trib rapture. They read the books on rapture but DO NOT TEST IT BY THE WORD OF GOD….
According to Finney, the oil here is righteous living, which explans why it can`t be transferred or got at the last minute, but without the Holy Spirit none are made righteous so maybe its both ? Either way we should live to be rapture ready, living close to God and not neglecting so great a salvation.
If oil is a type for the Holy Spirit, the foolish had none. I think the foolish are the not saved or people who say they are Christians but they really don’t believe. I don’t think God wants believers to continually wonder if they have enough oil. Jesus told a lot of related parables like the kingdom of God being a net, and then the catch (people) are separated, the believers and the unbelievers.
The lamp is the Word. Having the lamp and not put in oil, how can you see where you're going without the light? The same when you say you know the Word but not applying them into your daily life, you're still in darkness. Like a hearer of the Word and not a doer of it. Bearing no fruit.
In this parable I believe it is speaking of five virgins who have the indwelling Holy Spirit and five that do not. In the O.T. the prophets had the Holy Spirit come upon them and fill them but then depart for a time. It took the Holy Spirit baptism for a believer to have the permanent indwelling which first occurred In Acts ch 2. Because the five are called virgins I believe that they represent believers who have believed the gospel, repented, and were water baptized but had mistakenly believed or were told they had recieved the Holy Spirit when they had not. The Holy Spirit baptism is to be prayed for after repentance and water baptism until the Lord answers your prayer and fills you. Then you must yield the last vestige of your will your tongue. You do so until the Holy Spirit takes control of it ( " tames it") and enables you to speak in the spiritual language our English translation calls " tongues". Once this happens it triggers the baptism overflow. At that point the Holy Spirit joins with the believers spirit and remains in the believer .
@@kayzee9547 The thief on the cross was under the old covenant where water and Spirit baptism were not required in order to be saved. The new Covenant, which began in Acts ch.2, isn't just about being saved but about being born again of which water and Spirit baptism are essential parts of.
@@kayzee9547 Thanks for your reply. Concerning Rom,10:9 not saying anything about baptism. First of all, it must be taken into account that all of Pauls' writings begin with " To the saints of. ". All of his letters were written to already saved/ born again believers not as evangelistic letters designed to reach sinners but as further instructions in the faith to believers equivalent to our Bible studies today. The unsaved are welcome to attend but their main focus is those who are already saved. The birth of the Christian church was in the book of Acts not in the letter to the Roman's thus the plan of salvation obviously should be found there. What changed was the protestant reformers approach to salvation. As the noted protestant and author Tozier wrote concerning proestantism; " In our zeal to escape the " saved by works "of the catholics we have gone too far the other way to faith without obedience." And as the martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote concerning how God views saving faith, " Only he who believes obeys and only he who obeys believes" The reason that Romans 10:9, being used as a salvation verse, usually stops there is because Roman's 10:10 let's us know that salvation is a process: " For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation" "Believing unto righteousness "is to begin by believing and to end up right with God. Salvation is a process because we are not just talking about being saved but being born again. Just as natural insemination to birth is a process so is recieving the " seed" of the Word with the end result being a spiritual rebirth. Repentance and water baptism complete one another. If you truly repent you obey and are water baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins ( Acts 2:38). As Peter said in Acts ch 3, "God gives the Holy Spirit to those who obey". Water baptism is completed by Spirit baptism. This is being born again of water and Spirit. Lastly, look at the conversion of Saul/ Paul. He was in Damascus for three days fasting, repenting, and praying. He believed but something was still lacking in his salvation experience. Ananias then came in and said to him, " Why tarriest thou ? ( What are you waiting for?) Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins calling on the name of the Lord".
Vejam muitas pregações sobre essa parabola mas, nenhum ainda tiveram a revelçao de quem eram as dez virgens? A igreja é apenas uma, logo não pode ser a igreja, quem eram as virgens?
When you are saved you are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise. Grace is a free gift of God, for all who believe on Jesus Christ. Born again once. Washed clean once. A new creation once. Put on the new man once. God cannot deny Himself. My friends if you could lose your salvation, you would. That why Jesus said I NEVER knew you, not I knew you once but never.
Once Saved Always Saved is a lie from Satan. In Revelation 3 Jesus told the church He would Vomit them out of His mouth because they were lukewarm!! There are so many scriptures on falling away (Hebrews 10:26) etc.. See Howard Pittman and Howard Storm's NDE's where Jesus told them to bring back His message that only 2.5 percent of christians are going to Heaven because they are Lukewarm!!! Google Howard Pittman Placebo. I was Lukewarm and I was terrified when I realized it!!
I believes the 5 foolish virgins didnt have a personal relationship with Jesus? Perhaps they were relying on there own works? Im not sure though... this parable has always confirmed me.
Hidden manna Matthew 25:1-13 [1]Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. (Body)lamp looks like body [2]And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. [3]They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: Took their body and took no (Holy Bible ) truth with them [4]But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. But wise too holy bible in their soul with their body [5]While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. [6]And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. [7]Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. Trimmed their body so have beautiful light [8]And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. The foolish didn't have bible (truth)for their lamp and light gone out. [9]But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. [10]And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. When they went buy Holy bible , the bridegroom came [11]Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. [12]But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. [13]Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. The hidden manna here is always have bible scripture truth in you be ready answer to Lord.
Acts 10:45,46 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
The corn. The wise virgins are those in the dispensation of the spirit of truth, and the foolish virgins are those in the dispensation of the spirit of grace that could not overcome.
about the ten virgins, the difference there is the 5 were foolish and the 5 are wise..if you believe in God and his works,if u were the wise and knew the other 5 is foolish..You will guide them and teach them.. but they didn't do it and they save their own self..because they even took the oil and knowing that the 5 didnt took extra oil..if the wise told the 5 foolish to buy extra oil while they are waiting for the bridegroom, the foolish will never be late..and if the wise told the bridegroom that they were late because they took all the extra oil maybe the bridegroom will let them enter.. if they share all the extra oil it will never be enough as they said..humans were created different knowledge, some are smart but some is not.. but if the smart one teach them or guide them, they will learn..if u are wise/smart u are blessed,in that blessing what u need to do is to share ur knowledge..thats why in the end of that verse..The Final Judgement is for those →40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,[f] you did it to me.’.... the wise virgin didnt do it to their sisters,help and guide the foolish.. Thats why in my work,i always teach those who are difficult to understand how to do the work..because we are not all have the same understanding and knowledge..what matter is how we help others and guide them..its not about the oil, its about ur sisters/brothers/family.. its about Love..
The scariest part of this parable is the last verse. It doesn't say, "I never knew you." It says, "I don't know you." But because they were virgins, suggesting that they were believers washed clean, it seems to suggest a loss of salvation. I'm not quite sure what to make of it.
Matthew KJV 25;12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. It is clear that at one time they were believers but they did not endure to the end and thus lost their salvation. I don't know you is clearly present tense and thus clearly does not mean" I never knew you.".
Can you explain it through the bible what oil and lamps mean?? by giving verses not your own thoughts bc when you do that ur adding and removing from God's word Revelation 22:18-19 and by doing that according to the verse u won't be able to enter the kingdom of heaven
The translators added "Extra oil" to the text which is not in the greek or the KJV or NASB and a few others. Technically you can light a lamp or torch without oil but not for very long. Oil is a metaphor for the Holy Spirit but its debatable here. The legalists claim this refers to being filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18) hence oil in the lamp. Under this delusional interpretation You have to be filled with the Spirit or risk being left out or left behind. Were this to be true 100% of believers would be left out like the 5 unwise, because being filled with the Spirit is being unyielding and under His influence moment by moment which nobody is 100% of the time. Paul said in Romans 8:9 If any man has not the Holy Spirit he does not belong to God. Every born again believer has been sealed unto/until the day of redemption (Ephesians 1:13-4:30). While we can under the New Covenant Grieve (Eph 4:30)or Quench the Spirit(1 Thess 5:19) , He will never leave us because the Spirit was given forever (John 14:16). In the OT the Holy Spirit came upon select individuals for servive until the HS left an individual like king Saul because of sin from which David pleaded with God take not your Holy Spirit (Psalm 51:11. Paul also said in Romans 9:22-23 Some are vessels of wrath, some vessels of honor. This fits the 5 Unwise and 5 wise virgins. One group unsaved, the other born again. The entire false narrative can be destroyed by two words:"Know and NOT". "Know is OIDA meaning full knowledge, absolute knowledge or that wich is without doubt rather than a progress in knowledge. Know is used here in this parable in the perfect tense meaning past action with present and future results. "NOT (OUK) is an adverb , a negative participle that objectively negates a statement.Here it rules out as a fact of any prior relationship. Jesus is saying I dont know you from the past , i dont know you now and the fact the door was shut negates any future relationship. In todays venacular we would say something like "I don't know you from Adam.
This is the TRUE meaning given to me by the HOLY SPIRIT: There were 10 virgins. All 10 had lamps ( Bibles, Your Word is a lamp unto my feet). All 10 went out to meet the bride groom ( as you are doing now) All 10 fell asleep ( as did the 3 deciples Jesus took with him when he went to pray in the Garden) ( We all fall asleep sometimes) All 10 woke up in time. When they went to trim their lamps, 5 realized that they didn't have oil. The other 5 brought oil with them ( it doesn't say how much) in jars. The oil is the Holy Spirit. Their bodies are the jars of clay that contains the Holy Spirit. The Word of God only gives it's light when there is Holy Spirit oil. The 5 foolish virgins lamps went out because they had no Holy Spirit oil. The 5 wise virgins told the other 5 to go buy oil from those who sell it ( this takes you to the parable of the widow's oil) but it was too late for these 5 foolish virgins. They never KNEW Jesus. If they had known him, they would have had oil in jars to take with them. This also parallels the offerings made by Cain and Able. If Cain had known God, he would have known what offering to take to him. So here we are, How many of you really have the Holy Spirit to illuminate those lamps?
Agree with the red flag mentioned above. But i've read it anyway. Its a parable in line with the two written afterwards and in line with the previous chapter. Conclusion is the same: be prepared, Watch. Be alert Math.24:42/25:13, Be active Math.24:45/25:4, Be wise/usefull in what you do Math.25:26+30/25:4, Don't be ignorant Math.25:44/25:8 But it cannot be the Holy Spirit. Thats the seal for the believers Ef.1:13. The foolish maids did have oil. The distinction is made at the beginning of the parable: foolish and wise. While they both had oil. Provrbs 12:15 declares 15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
The foolish virgins said “give us of your oil, for our lamps have gone out.” They were virgins who were part of the bridal party. They had been invited and accepted. They had lamps, with oil, but it ran out (verse 8). The oil is the Holy Spirit. These seem to be Christians who have fallen away.
"Jesus Christ" is in 187 verses "Oil" is in 187 verses You need Jesus Christ to go in to the marriage. Listen to Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John. Romans 10:17 faith cometh by hearing amd hearing by the word of God. Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
I believe that this parable goes with Revelation 3:4. The oil is the Holy Spirit. ALL 10 of them had the Holy Spirit at one time, meaning ALL were saved. However, some of us soiled/defiled our garments (robe given when saved) after being saved, and that no amount of praying for forgiveness is going to remove the stains. Therefore, those Christians who defiled their garments will not be taken in the first rapture (dead or alive), and will not get to participate in the Marriage Supper of The Lamb, and will receive no rewards. They will have to wait until the second half of the tribulation before they get to go (dead or alive) and then they will be accepted into heaven....but no rewards. This is how I interpret the parables of the 10 virgins.
You are clearly in the wrong....this is because you're saying that by works you are saved.... we're not saved by our works...but by grace through faith....its written that " if you confess your sins he is faithful and just to forgive our sins" no matter how crimson they are....please dont take the word of God out of context .... contradict yourself
Mat 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. Mat 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. the foolish weren't ready for his coming and in AD70 when he came in judgement they paid the price
I don't think we should ever speculate about who is God's elect. All 10 virgins may have started out well but 5 faltered along the way. They didn't consistently keep oil in their lamps. I don't think the oil is the Holy Spirit. You don't run low on the Holy Spirit. You are either filled with him or you don't have him at all.
With all due respect to DP, This is the typically bad theology that floats around the Church. First off the number ten means law or order. 5 means Grace so these are two groups of Covenant people. There’s two covenants. The oil does represent the Holy Spirit but one group DOESN’T have the oil. That’s the problem. The funny part about this is that it’s not that difficult. He’s describing the rapture and the wedding supper of the Lamb. Jesus audience was the Jews. They thought they knew God but in actuality they were living under the law. The Old Covenant was law and the New Covenant is Grace and the Spirit of God. The Bible is constantly making this case through symbolism and typology. Two trees, two sisters, two brothers and in every story the younger is favored over the older.. Why? Because they represent the two covenants. So these two groups of virgins represent the two covenants peoples. They’re always represented by either sons or brides because we’re sons to the father but we’re the bride to Christ. So, one group has the oil and the other didn’t. Paul clearly explains in Romans 8 that if you have the Holy Spirit then you’re a child of God but if you don’t you’re none of His. This is why He says I NEVER knew you. It’s not about saved people losing their salvation. It’s about a group of people that thought they knew God but didn’t. That’s the Jews. When the rapture happens we as believers will go up to the wedding feast of the Lamb while they will be down here suffering and being broken of their pride so when Christ finally returns they will finally be ready and willing to receive Him just like Joseph’s brothers did. If it were Christians it would be those in name only who don’t have the Holy Spirit. The Bible says that we’re all filled with the Spirit. It’s not like we’re trying to get more. We’re already filled so this whole interpretation is missing the point. Everyone is looking to find a way to disqualify believers but if you’re saved you’re saved. Jesus knows you and you’re His regardless of your actions

To the one who is reading this comment, this prayer is for you. I pray that God will wipe away every tear and pain that you are going through right now. That he will comfort you and your moments of loneliness and sorrow. The bible said “Come unto me all who are weary and are heavy burdened. I will give you rest”. Praying for you all. In Jesus Name.

Thank you for your prayer that is very kind of you!
Thank you verry much. I see your comments at many places. This is also a verry nice place to dwell. I love this man of God.
I am one of them too :( Thank you.
Thank you. This was perfect for me, my dad just died 6 weeks ago & I miss him & feel sad. Thank you for this encouragement.
Multitudes of Christians without enough oil will be left behind. I am looking at my own life and asking the Lord to make me ready ! ☝️✝️🙏💞
Every day I ask for that.
Nonsense. Mr. Prince is wrong It is a warning for the Jews. See Psalm 45. We are the BRIDE....NOT the bridesmaids.
@@markfurnell6748 so when do you think that the bride went to heaven? This to me is Jesus describing the rapture.
He wont make you ready; thats for YOU to do
Derek Prince was such a brilliant teacher. There was never anything sinister with his teachings. Not like today. We need to discern very wisely 🍀🇮🇪🤗
Sorry, but he was a founder of the Shepherding Movement, which was not of God and devastated many in the Body of Christ. His first wife was distraught with his involvement. Derek Prince withdrew in 1983, stating his belief that "we were guilty of the Galatian error: having begun in the Spirit, we quickly degenerated into the flesh."
Amen! I enjoy his teachings, very direct and very practical.
@@angelmedia9051 I am suggesting that the original poster’s statement “there was never anything sinister in his teachings,” is factually untrue.

LORD Please Help Me... I desperately pray for deliverance from drinking...!!! It's not my will any longer to drink... My heart literally can't take the withdrawals & I'm scared. Please Lord. In Jesus name Amen.
🙏💕 All things are possible with God.
SURRENDER your addiction and desire for alcohol to Jesus.
Please do this.
Please tell God all thats in your heart and mind. Then say this prayer
"Lord i cant, but you can and you will take care of all this.
Thank you for acting.
Jesus i trust in you.
Jesus i trust in you.
Jesus i trust in you "
When you do the above you are casting your cares fully on God . Below is Gods promise for doing this-
"Cast your cares on the lord and he will sustain you "
Please also say this prayer and repeat it ALOUD often
" Jesus i SURRENDER myself to you, take care of everything "
REPEAT THE ABOVE PROCESS as and when NECESSARY (when worry or fear come back).
IT WORKS
If you've received the Holy Spirit, you've been made perfect forever. The Bible (and I only use the KJV because it is the only perfect translation) in no place says true salvation can be lost-period. Rest in that and praise Him for it.
I am grateful for my total deliverance from sleeping pills addiction & illegal prescription drugs addiction. The lord also delivered me completely from sexual demons that tormented & polluted my dream for years! Praise God forever!!!
Awesome God He is!! Amen!
Thank you, dear Jesus!

Audio bible often, that's my go to. I learn something new everytime I've heard it over the years. "Faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the word of God." "The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life."
Faith comes by hearing and hearing comes by the word of God. The anointed word of God allows us to hear and when we respond to what is heard, faith is born ✨
We can definitely use available technology to grow and advance God's word and kingdom.
The foolish virgins demonstrated great determination in several ways:
They waited for the bridegroom, even when he was delayed.
They slept on-site, showing their commitment to staying close to the event.
When they realized their mistake, they went to buy oil and returned, showing persistence.
They knocked on the door, still hoping to join the feast.
However, despite their determination, their lack of preparation at the critical moment (not having enough oil) was the decisive factor. Their efforts-while admirable-came too late because they did not address the fundamental issue of being ready when the bridegroom arrived.
Had a waking vision.
I was sitting in my office chair in the middle of the day. Was in my chair then I opened a door to the clouds. I looked out at the cloud ground and the edges of the cloud ground. I walked out on it. I must have been in a glorified body because all burden was gone. I felt so lite like I could fly as peace saturated me. I was the only one there. I saw an edge to the cloud ground and walked over to look down. When I got to the edge to look down as soon as I looked down I was back in my office chair. I've been there. It was beautiful!
That is so awesome, Jeremiah. What a wonderfulf blessing. Thank you so much for sharing. I got to enjoy some of the vision from what your shared. Wonderful way to start the day.:)

I walked out of the hospital in bare feet.:) I was made well, but got left a thorn of reacting to man made chemicals and the phthlates in the scented detergents now that came on the scene big time about 10 years ago are so pervasive and deadly for me, I can't leave my home now again.

if it's a sin to be drunk with wine, then it's also a sin not to be filled with the Holy Spirit

Is there a second part? Wanted to hear about the white robes! I've always believed it is Ephesians 5:26 Also His blood is our robe of righteousness! Isaiah 61:10 Wanted to hear what His thoughts were though! Really great teaching! So just as we're continually filled with His Spirit(oil) by prayer, fasting, dying to the flesh we are built up on our most Holy Faith(gold) by praying in the SPIRIT is how we will endure to the end! Jude 1:20 When His praise is on our lips continually the devil has to flee! Psalm 34:1, James 4:7🔥

Revelation says that our righteous deeds are our fine linens
Set: There are three separate and distinct garments and three separate and distinct kingdoms to come.
There will be a New Heaven with day and night, they will be wearing white robes.
There will be a New Earth with day and night, they will be wearing white raiment.
The Bride of the Lamb will wear White linen.
AFTER the 1,000 year reign of Jesus comes to a close and His appointed replacement takes the throne Jesus will enter the New City, where there is no night, WITH His bride and she will exchange her garment of white linen for a dress of Jasper. There she will remain with Jesus seated in the throne for eternity.
Have a nice day.
This came up in simple conversation with my daughter not knowing it was found in Revelation secretly sent to Revelations. My God he is AMAZING.

Titus 3:5-6 (KJV) Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
I had a dream 4 days ago, of which interpretation and understanding I did not know until yesterday 05/07/2023.
The dream:
There was a house with one floor quite big. The gates were wide open and the doors of the house be it the front,the back or side doors, were all open as well. The reason for these all doors and the gates to be open was that people could enter in and going out freely to get ready and prepare the house and themselves for an event which was about to come, a wedding. All these people knew each other like neighbours, friends or relatives.
I saw myself in a bedroom on the first floor were there was a young lady sitted on the edge of the bed and was looking at the two wedding dresses that were on the hangers beside the wall.
I approached the young bride and I intended to ask her what is that which retains her from dressing and getting ready, but as I took the action to approach her, another young lady came by and told me "no, she must wear the red dress first before the white one, but she doesn't want" so I asked the young bride "how come you don't want to wear the red dress, it is impossible for you to put on the white dress before wearing the red dress first, it is just no way for this to be possible. Don't you know that red means the blood of the Lamb, which is the Blood of Jesus who wash our sins away? "as I was finishing my message I woke up.
I was praying to the Lord to reveal to me the interpretation of this dream, so the Lord by His Grace gave me the understanding.
The preparation of the wedding banquet have started, the bride which are the believers are not all ready to go with the Lord because they have not washed their robes clean in the blood of the Lamb.
Even as the young bride in the dream, she was reluctant and did not want to wear the red dress so many refuse to go through the afflictions and suffering that the cross requires to transform their lives and to be washed from their sins.
Glory to God
Maranatha our Lord is Coming 🙌🙌🙌.
Thank you! This teaching is priceless! 🙏
There is a cost associated with following Jesus. Jesus himself says that he who endures to the end will be rewarded

Lord ....
Your eyes search me for truth
Both while I am asleep and awake
You understand my needs
and my weaknesses
Are familiar with my willfulness
You know each word
before they fall from my lips 
Your protection surrounds me yesterday today and tomorrow
your wisdom
I have yet to obtain
your spirit and presence embrace me
through both my trials and triumphs you are there
There is no where I can hide from your all encompassing love
You are my guide and protecter even in the shadows your light surrounds me
In my darkest hour your light shines through me
your light dissolves the darkness
While still in the womb you knew me and covered me with a blanket of protection
Each detail on my being you were meticulous with while designing your wonder
Incredible is your workmanship
I am in awe
Quietly in earth you skillfully formed my frame
Before my beginning you recognized my worth
Your instructions you gave me in a written book
Your golden thoughts towards me
are as innumerable as grains of sand
With righteousness I accuse those who accuse you
For are not your foes mine as well
Explore me Lord
Test me against my fears
Purge me of any tarnish
Lead me Lord to you the everlasting light of truth .

Revelation 3:15-19 (KJV) I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked:
I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see.
As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent. John 12:24-26 (KJV) Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.
He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal.
If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.
The key to understand Ten Virgin parables is in previous chapter Matthew 24, Jesus advised His disciples to be a watchful servants and be a faithful servants.
“Therefore keep watch, because you do not know on what day your...".
“Who then is the faithful and wise servant, ..."
then Jesus gave the parable of the Ten Virgins to describe what happen with the foolish and the wise / watchful servants , and the parable of bag of gold, to describe what happen to the lazy and the faithful servants.
what is the meaning of the ten virgin parable ?
oil is required to keep the lamp burning, and the lamp should keep burning while waiting for the groom, without the burning lamp the bride won't be able to meet the groom.
We will find the answer from Israelites, they keep the lamp burning in God's temple, (wikipedia, sanctuary lamp), It symbolizes God's eternal presence and is therefore never extinguished.
be watchful means don't let Jesus glory depart from us, whatever the reason.
be faithful means be fruitful, to know and to keep doing God's will.
Do a study on wise and wisdom, then do a study on the fool, the foolish, and very importantly do a study on what is faith or Belief. They mean obey. Obey His commandments. That is our part. Remember, even the demons believe.
So, YOUR faith is clearly in your own efforts! 'Lordship salvation' is just another way of adding works to faith.
Rather her faith leads her to obedience. Obedience is a symptom of faith, hence why faith without works is dead.
Blessed are those who hear His holy word and obey it. Correct.
Thank you

It’s not a price to get the Holy Spirit it’s a gift.....a gift is that someone who dearly loved and gave you something out of his love......but we usually not using the gift because we are not using it anymore ,that’s why when you are not reading the word of God ,The Holy Spirit will feel like that we are not like depending on him , that’s why we have to appreciate the gift that Jesus gave......we have to use the gifts thats been given to us and use it in our church ,that’s why Paul said I thank God I prayed in tongues more than you.......everyday u are breathing you need to show Jesus that you loved the gift that he gave you because if you want to know God , GOD IS LOVE
He could be right but here is my interpretation of the parable. The virgins are just broken into two groups one representing believers who have the holy spirit one representing unbelievers who do not have the holy spirit that is consistent with the theme of the rest of the New Testament and the new Covenant. All people will be one day meeting the Lord Jesus and resurrected from the dead the righteous to eternal life and the unrighteous to judgment and death. The Bible says the fool says in his heart there is no God. Fear of the lord is the beginning of wisdom. John 3:16 those who accept Christ will not perish but have eternal life those who reject Christ will Perish. So those who are saved are wise, are known by the Lord, and our filled with the Holy Spirit, and therefore are prepared for the return of the Lord. The foolish cannot borrow off the wise, in other words you cannot live off the faith of another person. And when the lord comes back it's too late to repent at that time which is why are the foolish virgins who went off to buy some oil were too late. In summary this parable was just consistent with what we know of the literal parts of scripture where there are always two groups: the sheep in the goats, the wheat and the tares, the wicked and the righteous and so on.
It speaks about pre tribulation rapture
What if the predarists are right, what if the millennial riegn has come and gone? If we are in the little season, how do we apply this scripture in our life?
@@kenrussell1635 The Millenial Reign is after Jesus Christ coming and before the Judgement Day. The purpose of the 1,000-year reign is to fulfill various promises God made to the world.
We know it hasn´t happened yet, because the world will be reigned by Jesus himself, God will lift the curse on the earth so animals and the earth will be restored to prosperity and peace, and the evil one will be bound. The world couldn´t be far from that right now. We are in the 11th hour, so Jesus is coming soon.
I agree except the unwise were believers. They are like a lot of religions nowadays they go to church and say they believe but they have not accepted Christ and put him first in their life. They weren’t ready. And you’re right you can’t borrow someone else’s faith. There’s a lot of churches that don’t preach salvation and it will be One of the greatest failures ever. One church in particular thinks that they are the one true church that Jesus started, and they are the only ones for sure that are going to heaven, but they do not preach salvation and they cannot get there without Jesus!
@@kenrussell1635 it hasn’t come gone and we are not in any stage except for the church age and pre-tribulation
Brothers and Sisters - I have an earnest question. If the five foolish virgins - who represent a type of Christian - let’s say those of us who profess their faith in Christ (they go to church, they serve, they love God, etc.) - but live a partially worldly life… does that mean those Christians will not inherit the Kingdom? If so, doesn’t this parable mean that I have to do works to continually earn salvation? This is a troubling and frightening parable!
Psalm 116:17 , Psalm 27:6 , Psalm 4:5 . (Sacrifices we can offer to God)
1 Peter 2:5 Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house, an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices, acceptable to God by Jesus Christ.
Titus 3:4-7 KJVS
But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared, [5] Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; [6] Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour; [7] That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
Love it!
Amen 🙏
'When they had bought the oil and arrived, the door was shut. And Jesus said: I never knew you. How do you understand that? This was my understanding: they were never among Gods elect. They'd come in and God knew they wouldn't pass the test. Thats the way I see it' - Derek prince (8:10 - 8:34) .
Can someone help me, i'm not familiar with Dereks work and religious (christian) thinking and teachings. Can someone tell me how I have to understand Dereks 'They were never among Gods elect.'? Thank you.
He’s messed up in his teaching. Saying one can run out of Holy Spirit is insanity. ua-cam.com/video/FxAVzmKlclQ/v-deo.html
Scripture says that a day is coming, a famine, not of bread or water, but of hearing the Word of God.
Jesus said that blessed are they that hear the Word of God and KEEP it.
Jesus spoke of a wise servant that prepared and distributed a word in season to those lost in the commotion, likened to the preparation of both Joseph and Obadiah.
As in the days of Noah, Jesus advised to lay up in store for a similar metaphorical time, where he was tasked to bring in all types of food to sustain every creature in the ark.
Conclusion: The oil is The Word of God.
Whatever level of internal sustenance one can maintain from memory is the volume in the lamp.
The extra vessel with the lamp is your physical Bible. You cannot let go of that because you need it yourself.
Going to buy one if you didn't heed Jesus' other parables such as "return not to your house" "take nothing out of your house" or "go not up to the rooftop".... that might become perilous.
Make sure you always have your, or a Bible on you at all times, just think about Moses' words, bind them on your hand, as frontlets before your eyes...
If you are a person "of means", please take up this charge, millions are going to need it.
One day, we will rejoice , but with sadness also, as God is not willing that ANY should perish.

John.8.31 - Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, "If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed.
John.14.21 - He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him."
John.15.14 - You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
Please read Luke. 17.5 to 17.10.
Luke.17.5 - And the apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith".
Luke.17.10 - So likewise you, when you have done all those things which you are commanded, say, "We are unprofitable servants. We have done what was our duty to do."'
If we obey his words Mathew chapter 5,6,7, and keep in mind that we have done what was our duty, then Jesus may count us loved and so, like filled with oil.

Amen..
I used to believe the oil meant being filled with the Holy Spirit. But then I got thinking, I know many people that love God with all there heart, they just have not had teaching, or have had bad teaching on the HS. Will they miss the rapture just because of bad teaching... As I with thinking about it, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and told me I was looking at the wrong thing, instead of oil, I should be looking at the lamp... Thy WORD is a lamp unto my feet.... the wise stayed in the Word of God and went to a GOOD church and filled up there oil, the foolish did not spend time in the Word, and did not go to church, or they went to a religious, dead church, therefore they ran dry.
WOW! He got it right! I am stunned and happy someone else got it.
Salvation is indeed the free gift of God. Everything else, including the rapture, is earned.
Lamp relates to light, lightening the way or to enlighten(teachings and doctrines etc). Oil is used for anointing.
Anointing is the ritual act of pouring aromatic oil over a person's head or entire body. The primary purpose of anointing with the holy anointing oil was to sanctify, to set the anointed person or object apart as qodesh, or "holy" (Exodus 30:29). Priests, prophets and kings were anointed.
Exodus 40:9 Take the anointing oil and anoint the TABERNACLE and everything in it; consecrate it and all its furnishings, and it will be holy.
Moses was instructed to “anoint” the “tabernacle”.
The Word/Christ, the flesh, is the “tabernacle”.
Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and tabernacled among us.
You saw Christ as an “idol” which led to you looking skyward for the returning of your King, coming from the sky(literally) for his kingdom(which is not going to happen), when, if you had “eyes” to see would have known how the tabernacle(in our midst), which is Christ, would look like.
But since you are clueless, you have denied Christ in “the flesh”(no oil in your teachings/lamp)
1Jn 4:3 and every spirit that does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is not of God. And this is the ANTICHRIST you heard is coming, and even now is ALREADY in the world.
In other words, if your lamp carries no oil(Matt 25:3), it means in your doctrines or teachings you have left out or have no oil to anoint “the tabernacle”(house of god in your land/nation) in our midst.
You have DENIED Christ, and Christ shall also deny you.
Mat 10:32 Every one therefore who shall confess me before men, him will I also confess before my Father who is in heaven.
Mat 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father who is in heaven.
The “oil” has gone to the east. The WEST(in god we trust) is burning(your House is on fire).
Joh 15:6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned.
Th doctrines of man(of Abrahamic religion) have brought damNATION.
1 Peter 1:7 KJVS
[7] That the trial of your faith, being much more precious than of gold that perisheth, though it be tried with fire, might be found unto praise and honour and glory at the appearing of Jesus Christ:
Revelation 3:18-19 KJVS
[18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. [19] As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.
See 12th chapter of Hebrews.
I want listen full sermon same parable please post
The link to the full video is always in the description. But here it is for now: ua-cam.com/video/sy5cOeGNN1k/v-deo.html Bless you!
I truly believe that he is an amazing God centered man. I have never seen Derek Prince before today and I am blessed by all his work and will keep listening to his sermons. What I have been shown is something for the time of the end…. The Mark of the Beast will be in effect when Jesus comes for His Bride..
Matthew 25:9 But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that SELL and BUY for yourselves. 10 And while they went to BUY, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
The foolish took the Mark of Beast and were fooled because they hung out with the Christians.. and the reason they were fooled was because they believed they would be raptured before the Mark of the Beast comes.
I was shown this before being called as an evangelist.. it was 20 yrs ago n it was not even close to what I was taught so I put that journal away… 20 yrs later I am shown again but this time after years of study on Matthew 24 it now made sense. Especially when almost everywhere you go to church the majority of people believe in the false pre trib rapture. They read the books on rapture but DO NOT TEST IT BY THE WORD OF GOD….
Isaiah 62: 1-5
According to Finney, the oil here is righteous living, which explans why it can`t be transferred or got at the last minute, but without the Holy Spirit none are made righteous so maybe its both ? Either way we should live to be rapture ready, living close to God and not neglecting so great a salvation.
Does anyone else hear his voice change at "watch therefore?"
If oil is a type for the Holy Spirit, the foolish had none. I think the foolish are the not saved or people who say they are Christians but they really don’t believe. I don’t think God wants believers to continually wonder if they have enough oil. Jesus told a lot of related parables like the kingdom of God being a net, and then the catch (people) are separated, the believers and the unbelievers.
The lamp is the Word. Having the lamp and not put in oil, how can you see where you're going without the light?
The same when you say you know the Word but not applying them into your daily life, you're still in darkness. Like a hearer of the Word and not a doer of it. Bearing no fruit.
wow, powerfull!
In this parable I believe it is speaking of five virgins who have the indwelling Holy Spirit and five that do not. In the O.T. the prophets had the Holy Spirit come upon them and fill them but then depart for a time. It took the Holy Spirit baptism for a believer to have the permanent indwelling which first occurred In Acts ch 2.
Because the five are called virgins I believe that they represent believers who have believed the gospel, repented, and were water baptized but had mistakenly believed or were told they had recieved the Holy Spirit when they had not.
The Holy Spirit baptism is to be prayed for after repentance and water baptism until the Lord answers your prayer and fills you. Then you must yield the last vestige of your will your tongue. You do so until the Holy Spirit takes control of it ( " tames it") and enables you to speak in the spiritual language our English translation calls " tongues".
Once this happens it triggers the baptism overflow. At that point the Holy Spirit joins with the believers spirit and remains in the believer .
What about the thief on the cross? He had none of this...
@@kayzee9547 The thief on the cross was under the old covenant where water and Spirit baptism were not required in order to be saved.
The new Covenant, which began in Acts ch.2, isn't just about being saved but about being born again of which water and Spirit baptism are essential parts of.
@@robertnieten7259 what about Romans 10:9 - doesn't say anything about baptism?
@@kayzee9547 Thanks for your reply. Concerning Rom,10:9 not saying anything about baptism.
First of all, it must be taken into account that
all of Pauls' writings begin with " To the saints of. ". All of his letters were written to already saved/ born again believers not as evangelistic letters designed to reach sinners but as further instructions in the faith to believers equivalent to our Bible studies today. The unsaved are welcome to attend but their main focus is those who are already saved.
The birth of the Christian church was in the book of Acts not in the letter to the Roman's thus the plan of salvation obviously should be found there.
What changed was the protestant reformers approach to salvation.
As the noted protestant and author Tozier wrote concerning proestantism;
" In our zeal to escape the " saved by works "of the catholics we have gone too far the other way to faith without obedience."
And as the martyr Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote concerning how God views saving faith, " Only he who believes obeys and only he who obeys believes"
The reason that Romans 10:9, being used as a salvation verse, usually stops there is because Roman's 10:10 let's us know that salvation is a process: " For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"
"Believing unto righteousness "is to begin by believing and to end up right with God. Salvation is a process because we are not just talking about being saved but being born again. Just as natural insemination to birth is a process so is recieving the " seed" of the Word with the end result being a spiritual rebirth.
Repentance and water baptism complete one another. If you truly repent you obey and are water baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of your sins ( Acts 2:38). As Peter said in Acts ch 3, "God gives the Holy Spirit to those who obey".
Water baptism is completed by Spirit baptism. This is being born again of water and Spirit.
Lastly, look at the conversion of Saul/ Paul.
He was in Damascus for three days fasting, repenting, and praying. He believed but something was still lacking in his salvation experience. Ananias then came in and said to him, " Why tarriest thou ? ( What are you waiting for?) Arise and be baptized and wash away your sins calling on the name of the Lord".
Vejam muitas pregações sobre essa parabola mas, nenhum ainda tiveram a revelçao de quem eram as dez virgens? A igreja é apenas uma, logo não pode ser a igreja, quem eram as virgens?
When you are saved you are sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise.
Grace is a free gift of God, for all who believe on Jesus Christ.
Born again once.
Washed clean once.
A new creation once.
Put on the new man once.
God cannot deny Himself.
My friends if you could lose your salvation, you would.
That why Jesus said I NEVER knew you, not I knew you once but never.
Once Saved Always Saved is a lie from Satan. In Revelation 3 Jesus told the church He would Vomit them out of His mouth because they were lukewarm!! There are so many scriptures on falling away (Hebrews 10:26) etc.. See Howard Pittman and Howard Storm's NDE's where Jesus told them to bring back His message that only 2.5 percent of christians are going to Heaven because they are Lukewarm!!! Google Howard Pittman Placebo. I was Lukewarm and I was terrified when I realized it!!
By prayer by Bible reading by waiting on God
I believes the 5 foolish virgins didnt have a personal relationship with Jesus? Perhaps they were relying on there own works? Im not sure though... this parable has always confirmed me.
Jesus paid it ALL
Hidden manna
Matthew 25:1-13
[1]Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom.
(Body)lamp looks like body
[2]And five of them were wise, and five were foolish.
[3]They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them:
Took their body and took no (Holy Bible ) truth with them
[4]But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps.
But wise too holy bible in their soul with their body
[5]While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept.
[6]And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
[7]Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps.
Trimmed their body so have beautiful light
[8]And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
The foolish didn't have bible (truth)for their lamp and light gone out.
[9]But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves.
[10]And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.
When they went buy Holy bible , the bridegroom came
[11]Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us.
[12]But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not.
[13]Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
The hidden manna here is always have bible scripture truth in you be ready answer to Lord.
Acts 10:45,46 And they of the circumcision which believed were astonished, as many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles also was poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost. For they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify God. Then answered Peter,
Amen
Preservance !
So what does the lamp represents? Is it the commandments as stated in Proverbs 6:23?
Psalm 119:105
The corn. The wise virgins are those in the dispensation of the spirit of truth, and the foolish virgins are those in the dispensation of the spirit of grace that could not overcome.
This message was made in 1994. 3:52
Date’s in description box.
about the ten virgins, the difference there is the 5 were foolish and the 5 are wise..if you believe in God and his works,if u were the wise and knew the other 5 is foolish..You will guide them and teach them.. but they didn't do it and they save their own self..because they even took the oil and knowing that the 5 didnt took extra oil..if the wise told the 5 foolish to buy extra oil while they are waiting for the bridegroom, the foolish will never be late..and if the wise told the bridegroom that they were late because they took all the extra oil maybe the bridegroom will let them enter.. if they share all the extra oil it will never be enough as they said..humans were created different knowledge, some are smart but some is not.. but if the smart one teach them or guide them, they will learn..if u are wise/smart u are blessed,in that blessing what u need to do is to share ur knowledge..thats why in the end of that verse..The Final Judgement is for those →40 And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers,[f] you did it to me.’.... the wise virgin didnt do it to their sisters,help and guide the foolish.. Thats why in my work,i always teach those who are difficult to understand how to do the work..because we are not all have the same understanding and knowledge..what matter is how we help others and guide them..its not about the oil, its about ur sisters/brothers/family.. its about Love..
The scariest part of this parable is the last verse. It doesn't say, "I never knew you." It says, "I don't know you." But because they were virgins, suggesting that they were believers washed clean, it seems to suggest a loss of salvation. I'm not quite sure what to make of it.
Matthew KJV 25;12 But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. It is clear that at one time they were believers but they did not endure to
the end and thus lost their salvation. I don't know you is clearly present tense and thus clearly does not mean" I never knew you.".
Can you explain it through the bible what oil and lamps mean?? by giving verses not your own thoughts bc when you do that ur adding and removing from God's word Revelation 22:18-19 and by doing that according to the verse u won't be able to enter the kingdom of heaven
The translators added "Extra oil" to the text which is not in the greek or the KJV or NASB and a few others. Technically you can light a lamp or torch without oil but not for very long. Oil is a metaphor for the Holy Spirit but its debatable here.
The legalists claim this refers to being filled with the Spirit (Ephesians 5:18) hence oil in the lamp. Under this delusional interpretation You have to be filled with the Spirit or risk being left out or left behind. Were this to be true 100% of believers would be left out like the 5 unwise, because being filled with the Spirit is being unyielding and under His influence moment by moment which nobody is 100% of the time. Paul said in Romans 8:9 If any man has not the Holy Spirit he does not belong to God.
Every born again believer has been sealed unto/until the day of redemption (Ephesians 1:13-4:30). While we can under the New Covenant Grieve (Eph 4:30)or Quench the Spirit(1 Thess 5:19) , He will never leave us because the Spirit was given forever (John 14:16). In the OT the Holy Spirit came upon select individuals for servive until the HS left an individual like king Saul because of sin from which David pleaded with God take not your Holy Spirit (Psalm 51:11.
Paul also said in Romans 9:22-23 Some are vessels of wrath, some vessels of honor. This fits the 5 Unwise and 5 wise virgins. One group unsaved, the other born again. The entire false narrative can be destroyed by two words:"Know and NOT". "Know is OIDA meaning full knowledge, absolute knowledge or that wich is without doubt rather than a progress in knowledge.
Know is used here in this parable in the perfect tense meaning past action with present and future results. "NOT (OUK) is an adverb , a negative participle that objectively negates a statement.Here it rules out as a fact of any prior relationship. Jesus is saying I dont know you from the past , i dont know you now and the fact the door was shut negates any future relationship. In todays venacular we would say something like "I don't know you from Adam.
This is the TRUE meaning given to me by the HOLY SPIRIT:
There were 10 virgins. All 10 had lamps ( Bibles, Your Word is a lamp unto my feet). All 10 went out to meet the bride groom ( as you are doing now) All 10 fell asleep ( as did the 3 deciples Jesus took with him when he went to pray in the Garden) ( We all fall asleep sometimes) All 10 woke up in time. When they went to trim their lamps, 5 realized that they didn't have oil. The other 5 brought oil with them ( it doesn't say how much) in jars. The oil is the Holy Spirit. Their bodies are the jars of clay that contains the Holy Spirit. The Word of God only gives it's light when there is Holy Spirit oil. The 5 foolish virgins lamps went out because they had no Holy Spirit oil. The 5 wise virgins told the other 5 to go buy oil from those who sell it ( this takes you to the parable of the widow's oil) but it was too late for these 5 foolish virgins. They never KNEW Jesus. If they had known him, they would have had oil in jars to take with them. This also parallels the offerings made by Cain and Able. If Cain had known God, he would have known what offering to take to him. So here we are, How many of you really have the Holy Spirit to illuminate those lamps?
Your opening statement is an immediate red flag for me; I read your post anyway.
Agree with the red flag mentioned above. But i've read it anyway.
Its a parable in line with the two written afterwards and in line with the previous chapter. Conclusion is the same: be prepared, Watch.
Be alert Math.24:42/25:13, Be active Math.24:45/25:4, Be wise/usefull in what you do Math.25:26+30/25:4,
Don't be ignorant Math.25:44/25:8
But it cannot be the Holy Spirit. Thats the seal for the believers Ef.1:13. The foolish maids did have oil. The distinction is made at the beginning of the parable: foolish and wise. While they both had oil. Provrbs 12:15 declares 15The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise.
The foolish virgins said “give us of your oil, for our lamps have gone out.”
They were virgins who were part of the bridal party. They had been invited and accepted. They had lamps, with oil, but it ran out (verse 8). The oil is the Holy Spirit. These seem to be Christians who have fallen away.
"Jesus Christ" is in 187 verses
"Oil" is in 187 verses
You need Jesus Christ to go in to the marriage. Listen to Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John. Romans 10:17 faith cometh by hearing amd hearing by the word of God.
Matthew 10:33 But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.
The oil of sanctification... we are to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
I believe that this parable goes with Revelation 3:4. The oil is the Holy Spirit. ALL 10 of them had the Holy Spirit at one time, meaning ALL were saved. However, some of us soiled/defiled our garments (robe given when saved) after being saved, and that no amount of praying for forgiveness is going to remove the stains. Therefore, those Christians who defiled their garments will not be taken in the first rapture (dead or alive), and will not get to participate in the Marriage Supper of The Lamb, and will receive no rewards. They will have to wait until the second half of the tribulation before they get to go (dead or alive) and then they will be accepted into heaven....but no rewards. This is how I interpret the parables of the 10 virgins.
You are clearly in the wrong....this is because you're saying that by works you are saved.... we're not saved by our works...but by grace through faith....its written that " if you confess your sins he is faithful and just to forgive our sins" no matter how crimson they are....please dont take the word of God out of context .... contradict yourself
Absolutely incorrect! So God no longer has the power to forgive? Blasphemy!!
Mat 25:8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out.
Mat 25:13 Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.
the foolish weren't ready for his coming and in AD70 when he came in judgement they paid the price
All Unborn and Fetus as a Soul......
Third Heaven Prophet cometh as Second Adam Son
I neverunderstood this, and still dont....
I don't think we should ever speculate about who is God's elect. All 10 virgins may have started out well but 5 faltered along the way. They didn't consistently keep oil in their lamps. I don't think the oil is the Holy Spirit. You don't run low on the Holy Spirit. You are either filled with him or you don't have him at all.
You get all of the Holy Spirit you will ever receive upon salvation,, the question is will the holy spirit have all of you.
@@bobgriffith1810 Acts 19 makes it look like a 2 step process.
To be saved we must be willing to give up everything.
ua-cam.com/video/FxAVzmKlclQ/v-deo.html here’s a better rendition.
And salvation?
With all due respect to DP, This is the typically bad theology that floats around the Church.
First off the number ten means law or order. 5 means Grace so these are two groups of Covenant people. There’s two covenants. The oil does represent the Holy Spirit but one group DOESN’T have the oil. That’s the problem. The funny part about this is that it’s not that difficult. He’s describing the rapture and the wedding supper of the Lamb.
Jesus audience was the Jews. They thought they knew God but in actuality they were living under the law. The Old Covenant was law and the New Covenant is Grace and the Spirit of God. The Bible is constantly making this case through symbolism and typology. Two trees, two sisters, two brothers and in every story the younger is favored over the older..
Why? Because they represent the two covenants.
So these two groups of virgins represent the two covenants peoples. They’re always represented by either sons or brides because we’re sons to the father but we’re the bride to Christ.
So, one group has the oil and the other didn’t. Paul clearly explains in Romans 8 that if you have the Holy Spirit then you’re a child of God but if you don’t you’re none of His.
This is why He says I NEVER knew you. It’s not about saved people losing their salvation. It’s about a group of people that thought they knew God but didn’t. That’s the Jews. When the rapture happens we as believers will go up to the wedding feast of the Lamb while they will be down here suffering and being broken of their pride so when Christ finally returns they will finally be ready and willing to receive Him just like Joseph’s brothers did.
If it were Christians it would be those in name only who don’t have the Holy Spirit.
The Bible says that we’re all filled with the Spirit.
