It is written at Matthew 19:26 that our LORD says "with GOD all things
are possible."
Moreover, it's written at Philippians 4:13 that we can do all things
through Christ Who strengthens us.

With "much more" (Luke 11:13) Holy Spirit, we have much more of His
help to "hold captive every thought" (2 Corinthians 10:15) so that
those thoughts from our heart (Jeremiah 17:5) such as "adultery and
sexual immorality" (Matthew 15:19) do not enter into our mind.
> That it never even crossed your mind?
Through Christ, we are able (Philippians 4:13) to keep thoughts of
"adultery and sexual immorality" out of our mind.

Actually, what's written is that our LORD Jesus says if a man looks at
a woman lustfully, he has committed adultery with her in his heart.
> If you never have, then you must be perfect in mind and body.
With "much more" (Luke 11:13) Holy Spirit, I have been able
(Philippians 4:13) to "hold captive every thought" (2 Corinthians
10:15) so that those thoughts from the heart (Jeremiah 17:5) such as
"adultery and sexual immorality" (Matthew 15:19) do not enter into my
mind, with all glory (

It is written that Jesus is both our Prince of Peace and our Mighty
(Isaiah 9:6) GOD.
Moreover, it is written at Revelation 19:16 that Jesus has written on
both His robe and His thigh that His title is "KING of kings and LORD
of lords."
This does mean that disciple Thomas was correct in crying out "My LORD
and my GOD!" (John 20:28) when LORD Jesus invited Thomas to do what he
had said he needed to do in order to believe that our LORD has risen
from the dead.

What is written is that all things **are** possible (Matthew 19:26)
instead of "may be possible."

It is written that disciple Peter walked on water when our LORD wanted
him to walk on water.
Walking on water really isn't any less miraculous than "fly(ing)
without any type of machinery."
> No, God hasn't given you that miracle.
I am satisfied with our LORD helping me always say/write that I am
wonderfully hungry (

It is synonymous with having a healthy appetite.
Being healthy is wonderful and having an appetite means being hungry.

So I again really advise that you, James, **really** try to write that
you're "wonderfully hungry" since we've re-established here that you
are:
So now again, how are you ?
