Right now, as he lives to intercede for us, there is a steady flow of tears ... carrying the substance of the afflictions caused by sin on the whole creation. Everything that happens, happens within him, he is full of mercy and love and doesn't live by kneejerk reactions. If it weren't for his...
If God could write another story within you than the one that is currently inside of you ... what story would you like God to write?
.
Is not your word like a fire? Like a hammer that breaks through the hardened heart?
Millennia ago you wrote ten prophecies on tablets of stone, now write what...
It seems like some invisible sludge was poured on me, it feels sad and suffocating. I get these flashes like people are praying.
.
So I guess I'll pray with them.
Just think, all these invisible devices that stop mind control and sorcery in it's tracks! What matters though, is trusting God: Father, Son, Holy Ghost. As we mature in trusting (also known as faith) Jesus, what is true about us becomes stronger.
.
So don't let your mind get bogged down by...
It's just one of those days, after shaking off those invalid thoughts, continue walking with Jesus.
.
The old words received through spiritual intimacy were good, but receive a new one today, let go of the old, take hold of the new.
So with the body consciousness thoroughly disrupted by the fire within the scriptures that wrote the first ten commandments, the new creation has room and a space of time to grow and bear fruit. It may take some time to get used to, because everything up to this point felt like a war .. but in...
Reading the law and trying to act it out isn't enough. The point of the law is to kill the fleshly nature. The law applies to the Romans 7:20 transgressor living within the body. Applying this to someone who is not born again is wrong though, because the body consciousness is who they are...
In the past, used read the bible a lot, when my brain wouldn't let me read any more I'd play an MP3 version of it to keep feeding it into my inner person. Isn't the word of the Lord like a fire? Like a hammer that smashes the rock to pieces? I'd keep praying. Eventually, the scriptures imprinted...
13 Wherefore I desire that ye faint not at my tribulations for you, which is your glory.
14 ¶ For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16 That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to...
One thing I noticed in my journey to see if Christianity was really any different than any other religion.
.
The Kingdom of God cannot be quantified, it resists quantification, God cannot be bought or sold as Simon the sorcerer discovered.
.
Though in the spiritual machinations of the world...
It is important to remember that Satan can quote bible passages too, the character with which we communicate the scriptures ... also counts.
.
Father, may our lives read like an epistle, in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, to your glory.
.
Come Holy Spirit, teach our hearts your Gospel of...
There's this passage about a lion that goes about looking for someone to devour. Sometimes it seems like the sin of someone else entirely engulfs me. If I think about it as a lion, leaving from the mouth is too much work, using the sword of the spirit to leave through the other end is more...
It is said in first three gospels that if you want to be great, serve. If you want to be greatest, then you must become the slave of all.
.
So in this sense, I meditate on that stage of spiritual development where the only ministry offered seems to be to complain.
.
I was kind of wondering...
I've learned a lot from the Catholic, Orthodox, and different protestant groups over my years here. I kind of wish there was a way for the traditions to come together sort of like this in a physical location, it would make discipleship a more well rounded experience for all.
.
Bless everyone...
If you feel like your heart is screaming in torment as you speak to someone, perhaps you should pray for them.
.
you never know ...
.
but God does.
.
There was this endearing passage that said, God saves all of our tears in a bottle, all of our aches are written down on a scroll. God cares, continue to pray, this is how God gets involved in the world given to Adam.
The narrow path to life
The wide path to destruction
and Philippians 4:4-9
I think this may be key to restoration in many quarters. But it is a nice meditation none the less.
I recently took someone off ignore, I'll see how it goes.
The issue with the person was that they were too clingy and I didn't know them, the conversation was over and they'd keep typing. Furthermore, there was this issue where they'd accuse me of personal attacks and seem to want to make it...
That the person you're talking to does not need you there to have the conversation? #ignore
You're talking to someone online ... and they present themselves as a male ... but there's this overwhelming sense that they're probably female?
Not that it matters ... just clearing some odd soul energy out at the moment.
