Matthew 11:23-24 says Truly I tell you, if anyone says to this mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' and does not doubt in their heart but believes that what they say will happen, it will be done for them. Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. No, God isn't a genie, He's better than that, He's God. No, He won't grant our every wish, especially if we ask for it to please our own flesh, but He will if we have faith and believe that He will give us what we are asking. He may not give it to us the way we think He might and we may have to wait a while to receive it, but just know that you are praying to a mighty God. Whatever is impossible to you is possible to Him. If you need healing, He can heal you. If you need help financially, He can provide for you. If you are lonely, He can comfort you. Yeah, we'll still have doubt, but Matthew 17:20 says "Because you have so little faith. Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you." What's impossible to God? Is there anything God can't do? Trust in the Heavenly Father. Cast all your cares upon Him. Give Him glory. Pray in Jesus name. Amen and God bless.

Prophetic7744: Isaiah 9:6 clearly includes “Everlasting Father” as a name for Jesus. Why do you want to subtract from God’s word??
Isaiah 9:6: For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders . And **HE WILL BE **CALLED**: Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace!
It is certainly true the Son of God and the Everlasting Father are both God and believe exactly the same on everything which will cause some to **CALL HIM** Everlasting Father. However there about 300 Scripture in the New Testament which definitely show that Jesus is not the Everlasting Father
**WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY**??
John 14:28: Jesus says, "If you loved Me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the **FATHER IS GREATER THAN I**!"
John 10:27-30: Jesus says, "My sheep listen to My voice, I know them, and they follow Me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish, no one can snatch them out of My hand. **MY FATHER, WHO HAS GIVEN THEM TO ME** is **GREATER THAN ALL**!"
John 6:37,39,44,65: Jesus says, "**ALL** that the Father gives Me **WILL** come to Me, and whoever comes to Me I will **NEVER** drive away... And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall **LOSE NONE** of all that He has given Me, but raise them up at the Last Day.... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father who sent Me **DRAWS HIM**, and I will raise him up at the Last Day!!... No one can come to Me **UNLESS** the Father has **ENABLED THEM**!!"
John 17:17: Jesus says to His Father, "Sanctify them by the truth **YOUR WORD** is Truth!!"
Deuteronomy 18:17-20: The Lord said to Moses, "I will raise up for them a Prophet from among their fellow Israelites, and I will put My words in His mouth. He will tell them everything I command Him. I Myself will call to account anyone who does not listen to My words that the Prophet speaks in My Name!"
John 14:23-24: Jesus says, "Anyone who loves Me will obey My teaching. My Father will love them, and **WE** will come to them and make **OUR HOME** with them. Anyone who does not love Me will not obey My teaching. These words you hear are not My own; **THEY BELONG TO THE FATHER WHO SENT ME**!"
Revelation 1:1: The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which **GOD GAVE HIM**!
Jesus is the **HEAD** of God's Kingdom in the NT era until His 2nd Coming and **THEN** He will hand over the **ETERNAL** Kingdom to God the Father!
I Corinthians 15:23-24: For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive. But each in turn: Christ, the Firstfruits, then, when He comes, those who belong to Him. **THEN** He will hand over the {**ETERNAL**}Kingdom to God the Father!
There are 7 passages in the New Testament which state that we should **ONLY PRAY TO GOD THE FATHER**!! **SUCH AS**:
Matthew 6:6-10: Jesus says, "When you pray, go into your room, close the door and **PRAY TO YOUR FATHER**, who is unseen. Then **YOUR FATHER**, who sees what is done in secret will reward you. And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them for your **FATHER KNOWS** what you need before you ask Him! This then, is how you should pray: 'Our **FATHER** in heaven hallowed be your name, **YOUR {**ETERNAL**}KINGDOM** come, **YOUR WILL** be done, on earth as it is in heaven!'"
Luke 11:4: Jesus says, "When you pray say: '**FATHER**, hallowed be Your Name, your {*ETERNAL*} Kingdom come. Give us each day our daily bread. "**FORGIVE US OUR SINS**, for we forgive everyone who sins against us!'"
Revelation 1:1: The Revelation from Jesus Christ, which **GOD {The *FATHER*} GAVE HIM**!
John 14:28: Jesus says, "If you loved Me, you would be glad that I am going to the Father, for the **FATHER IS GREATER THAN I!"

Prophetic, it’s obvious >>your belief<< about what the Bible teaches is more important to you than what the Bible itself teaches.
The Bible clearly teaches that that God the Father is God, Jesus the Son is God and God the Holy Spirit is God.
But >>your beliefs<< prevent you from believing everything the Bible teaches which include teachings about the Trinity.
For example, >>your beliefs<< deny that the Holy Spirit is referred to in the Bible as God. But the Bible clearly indicates the Holy Spirit IS referred to as God. >>Your beliefs<< do not permit you to see the biblical doctrine of the co-equality of Jesus the Son as being fully equal to God the Father. Is this correct?
Because of >>your beliefs<< you reject the Holy Spirit inspired fact that Jesus can be called the “Everlasting Father”.
Your posts and threads also indicate an extensive history that communicates an inability to make distinctions.
For example, just because the Holy Spirit (not the “holy spirit” without caps) inspired and included the name “Everlasting Father” for Jesus, doesn’t mean that Jesus IS the same person as “God the Father”.
I don’t wish to misrepresent anything you’ve believe and have tried to be fair.
I’m fully aware you’ll probably deny placing your beliefs above the beliefs (doctrines) taught in Bible. But any time you disagree with the Holy Spirit’s inspired words, you’re effectively putting your beliefs above the Bible

However Isaiah 9:6 only states that Jesus will be **CALLED***EVERLASTING FATHER** since Jesus is also God and he believes everything the Father believes.

**THE GREAT FALLING AWAY OR THE GREAT APOSTASY BEFORE AND AT THE BEGINNING OF THE GREAT TRIBULATION**!!
2 Peter 3;3-4,7: Above all, you must understandthat in the **LAST DAYS** scoffers willcom, scoffing and following their own evil desires. They will say, "Where is this Coming He promised? Ever since are ancestors diedeverything goes on as ir hassince the beginning of creation... But the present heavens and earth are reserved for fire, being kept for the Day of Judgementand destruction of the ungodly!
Jude 1:17-19: But, dear friends, remember when the apostlesof our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. They said to you, "In the **LAST TIMES** there will be sofferswho will follow their own ungodly desires. These are the peoplewho divide yiou, who follow mere natural instinctsand do not have the Spirit!
2 Timothy 3:1-5: But mark this: There will be terrible times in the **LAST DAYS**. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud,abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy,withou love, in forgiving, slanderous, withou self control,brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous rash, conceited,lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God--having a form of godlinessbut denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
I Timothy 4:1,2: The Spirit clearly saydsthat in **LATER TIMES** some will abandon the faithand follow deceiving piritsand things taught by demons. Such teachings come through hypocritical liars, whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. They forbid people to marry and order them to abstain from certain foods, which God created to be received wit thanksgiving by thosewho believe and who know the truth. For everythingGod created is goodm anothing to be rejectedif it isreceived wiuth thanksgiving, becauase it is consecrated by the Word of God and prayer! {See Mark 7:18-23}
Matthew 24:9-13: Jesus says, "Then {At the beginning of the Great Tribulation} you will be persecuted and put to death, and you will be hated by all nations because of Me. At that time **MANY WILL TURN AWAY FROM THE FAITH** and will betray and hate each other, and many false prophets will appearand decive **MANY** peop[le. Because of the increase of wickedness the love of **MOST** will grow cold but he who stands firm to the end will be saved!"
Revelation 17:14: They will make war against the **LAMB** but the **LAMB** will overcome them because He is **LORD** of lords and **KING** of kings and with Him will be His **CALLED** **CHOSEN** and **FAITHFUL** followers! {Just after the Resurrection and the Marriage Feast of the Lamb Jesus and His saints will mount heavenly white horses and defeat **666** and his armies as per Rev 19:7-21}

Lot of misspelling in there proph7744, check your water supply and don't sit too near the router.
When you are quoting scripture just remember that King James also authored Daemonologie so you have to question just how close to the Greek the translations we have are.
There is enough in the Bible to get you where you need to go but I never trust anyone who only reads one book.
I'd be more interested in what you think and your own breakdown of scripture rather than parroting.
Jesus asked Peter 'who do you say I am?'
We can all sit in our comfort zones hiding behind the words of others. Until you live them you haven't earn't the right to use them as your own.
Explain what those verses about the great tribulation from Matthew 24 mean to you. If you can't then I question should you be using them?
