Oblivion at Sunrise

A good way to know how to pray for people who accuse you irrationally and seem to be trying to attack you for no good reason, especially if they are christians: What they accuse you of is reflective of their inner state, so pay attention so you know what to pray for them.

If someone starts gunning for you, and you discern something wicked about the motivation, then just pray for them and stop talking to them. . Having people who disagree with you is an asset to true growth, but having people trying to beat you down constantly in space that should be friendly is...

You know the distinction between nicene and non-nicene christians, maybe the distinction between nice and not nice christians is more apt? Nah just kidding. . Hope all is well with everyone, bless.

but if he hides himself too long, people might destroy each other and no one will be left when he returns. The proverbs are funny that way, maybe their prophecy is fulfilling.

It's like someone is freaking out . and I'm trusting along side . so it's like I trust in God and the peace comes, and the freak out is just compensated for. I Hope whoever that is feels better, we're all one body, and this is where it gets real.

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. .
