Where in the Bible does it say "The blessings of God will chase you down and overcome you?"?

If you're referring to Malachi 3:10, it says this:\n\n(NIV) 10 Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this," says the LORD Almighty, "and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that you will not have room enough for it.\n\n(KJV) 10 Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.\n\nThis scripture is in response to the descendants of Jacob robbing from God by not paying their tithe.  This is the only time in the Bible where God says "test me."

If God were not patient, he would not be currently putting up with you and me.\n\nBy the way, since you are priding yourself on taking a bible verse out of context, why don't you interpret this one for me?\n\n"...if..." -The Holy Bible\n\nDo you get it?

Matthew 10:23\n23 But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another: for verily I say unto you, Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, till the Son of man be come.\n\nMatthew 11:23\nAnd thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. \n\nMatthew 19:28; \nAnd Jesus said unto them, Verily I say unto you, That ye which have followed me, in the regeneration when the Son of man shall sit in the throne of his glory, ye also shall sit upon twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel.\n\nMatthew 21:43, 44; 24; 25:31-46; 26:17-35, 46, 64; \nGoodluck ^_^

Philippians 4:13--I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me.\n\nI first learned this verse as a young Christian. I was a basket case. On the verge of a mental breakdown, didn't care what I looked like, believed myself to be stupid and uneducated. My family had spoken horrible things into my life. Called me w**re, thief, bad mother, fat & ugly, unwanted by my biological mother (I was adopted). My then pastor showed me this verse. Told me to say it every time I felt any of the bad things that had been spoken to me. I did it. I figured, what did I have to loose? Since that time, I have lost over 100 pounds, and now work as a manager of a group home for mentally ill adults. That which my family deemed for bad, GOD made good with this one verse. I CAN do all things through Christ who strengthens me. \n \n\nYes, I memorize scripture.  Two reasons for it.  1) the day will come when all I will have is the scripture I have memorized.  2)  I will hide your word in my heart that I might not sin against you.

The other guys are spot on.  It's an old term, which has been evolved as a contraction of the phrase "I wish that God may speed you", which (apparently) comes from the Bible.  In today's terminology this means: "I wish that God may bless you with success."  It hasn't got anything to do with physical motion or 'speed' as such.\nMany Hebrew words were translated into strange English alternatives when they revamped the Bible.  Especially in the old testament, the original Hebrew word translated as "speed" [pronounced caw-raw] meant 'to land upon', or 'to bring about'.\nSo the phrase kind of means "good happenings" that God helps you with.

It means the battle is the Lord's not ours\n\nMatthew 10\n\n14 And whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear your words, when ye depart out of that house or city, shake off the dust of your feet.\n \n15 Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of judgment, than for that city.\n \n16 Behold, I send you forth as sheep in the midst of wolves: be ye therefore wise as serpents, and harmless as doves.\n \n17 But beware of men: for they will deliver you up to the councils, and they will scourge you in their synagogues;\n \n18 And ye shall be brought before governors and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them and the Gentiles.\n \n19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.

"Slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not by way of eye-service, as people-pleasers, but with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ. For the wrongdoer will be paid back for the wrong he has done, and there is no partiality.  Colossians 3:22-25

John 14:27-- "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give to you, not as the world gives, do I give to you, let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid" When I was in high school I had debilitating panic attacks and senior year I found this verse to get me through, God gave me HIS peace, his holy spirit that was infinately greater than what the world had to offer me, I would recite it over and over in an attack and it would make me feel a lot better-- this verse reminds me of God's divine "there-ness" and keeps me strong when I am fearful or when I am tempted to give into the world's perception of what I, as a young woman, ought to be, let us know what yours is!

That is correct; the Bible speaks of those who have a "wicked heart of unbelief".\n\nhttp://www.needGod.com

I don't know about in genesis, but I've always found ecclesiastes 3:19-21 interesting.\n\n"Man's fate is like that of the animals; the same fate awaits them both: As one dies, so dies the other. All have the same breath (or spirit); man has no advantage over the animal. Everything is meaningless. All go to the same place; all come from dust, and to dust all return. Who knows if the spirit of man rises upward and if the spirit of the animal goes down into the earth?"\n\njust some food for thought.

This is what he said:\nBe not that far from me, for trouble is near; haste Thee to help me. \nBlessed be the Lord my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight. \nMy goodness, and my fortress; my high tower, and my deliverer; my shield, and he in whom I trust; who subdueth my people under me. \nO my God, I trust in thee: let me not be ashamed, let not mine enemies triumph over me.\n\nPsalm 25 is a Prayer for Protection, Guidance and Pardon.\n\nThe Psalter is the prayerbook of the people of God. The tradition of incorporating the Psalter in the teaching and life and worship of the primitive community was maintained in the centuries following the apostolic period and continued to provide a major influence upon the thought and spirituality of Christians throughout patristic times. People of all faith have referred to this book.  Interestingly enough, my maiden name is Salter!

King James Bible:  Psalms 37:29  The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.\n\nModern Translation:  29 The righteous themselves will possess the earth,\nAnd they will reside forever upon it.\n\nI grew up in the Church of Christ, they teach that approved persons go to Heaven, bad people go to Hell, if what they say is true, then no one is left on the Earth, and King David told us a lie.\n\nThis one scripture is what caused me to start studying the Bible, and what a large amount of Bible knowledge have I consumed.
