what are you feeling right now? (23)

[Extraneous]

I have to disagree with you here brother, though I fully agree that formal prayer is not the kind that God is after. Prayer is real-time communion with God, so often it is more of a spiritual surrender, closeness being with Him rather than an oral oration. Still God wants the full tithing from us - 10 percent of our total time spend with Him and in Him, just read Malachi 3, before Malachi 4 concludes the word in the O.T. Also I'm reminded of Paul's words to pray continually in 1 Thessalonians 5:17.

Malachi 3:6-12
“I the Lord do not change. So you, the descendants of Jacob, are not destroyed. Ever since the time of your ancestors you have turned away from my decrees and have not kept them. Return to me, and I will return to you,” says the Lord Almighty.

“But you ask, ‘How are we to return?’


“Will a mere mortal rob God? Yet you rob me.

“But you ask, ‘How are we robbing you?’

“In tithes and offerings. You are under a curse—your whole nation—because you are robbing me. 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 there will not be room enough to store it. I will prevent pests from devouring your crops, and the vines in your fields will not drop their fruit before it is ripe,” says the Lord Almighty. “Then all the nations will call you blessed, for yours will be a delightful land,” says the Lord Almighty.

I didnt say it was the only way to pray, i only said it was my way. Jesus said God already knows what we need before we ask. Why should i talk Gods ear off then? I keep my prayers short and to the point. If however i need someone to talk to, i talk a lot. I just cast all my burdens on Him.

Its my way, if others dont agree they can pray however they wish.

I just thought that our sister may have felt burdened by too much prayer, but i dont think that God wishes to burden us too much. Its just opinion.

What do i know? Im just here. Thats all i know.

Yeah I agree that God knows what we are going to ask from Him before we open our mouth, and that many words don't make up good prayers, the bible also teaches that. Indeed like you, I don't offer many prayers up in the traditional sense either, but I know God still really likes it when we turn to him in communion and find oneness in His loving truth, for only in His loving truth do we find His blessings becoming real. It is important that our understanding of the truth doesn't exclude what the bible teaches about the matter. That is what I mean when I say we ought to immerse ourselves in His loving truth, not just stay in our unredeemed reality, for that is when His blessings will begin to overwhelm us and this is what I believe Paul means when He advices us to pray unceasingly.

Yes, you're correct brother. I was just trying to be helpful, maybe my words were not as good as they should have been. Thanks for adding to them. You are right, i agree.

Religion makes enemies. Secularism makes enemies. Put them together and you have enemies.

Good morning everybody how is life going on the other side of the world? It is still dark here at 4.30 in the morning but another 30-45 minutes or so and the first lights will break through. I love the Dawn it is a very special time to commune with God because every morning His mercies are anew, so we start with a clean slate so to speak.

Feeling a little nauseated but not bad this morning. I have been craving sweets ever since I started my sugarless diet two days ago, lets hope it doesn't get too bad and lets hope it will pay off in the long run. Candida could well be the cause of my nausea apparently it usually comes together with copper poisoning, one causes the other.

I slept almost 6 hours last night but not as solid as the night before, ever since 2.30 am I began to wake up again but I still made it to 3.45 am before I began to get annoyed and had to get up. Hopefully I catch another hour before the day is out but it is not so pressing when 6 hours have already been made.

My doctor gave me Anacardium to treat any psychotic experiences. Yesterday my head felt strangely calm all day long, amazing how my broken thoughts became whole and my tumbling mind was put straight, but today everything is tumbling again. She told me to take the stuff twice a week more if I need it badly, I might try a bit more later on today especially if the volume in my head increases even more.

I still get this loud zooming in my ears I'm not really sure why that happens, especially in the evenings it seems to get really bad but my jaw clenching seems to have subsided somewhat.

How is everybody else going?

 

[Jeshu]

The salmon are back early this year, I used to love catching them but it has been years ago since I did.

 

[Press On]

Good morning everybody how is life going on the other

Good morning, Gerry. You seem to be doing better; praise God for that!

Never heard of Anacardium. Hope it works well for you.

It's shortly after 3 PM Texas time. I'm lying down now enduring a headache I've had about an hour. I have a prescription med to take for it and usually does the job.

My wife is now employed again beginning last Tuesday. Not quite what we were hoping for but it will work out.

I worked in the yard several hours today and mowed my large yard for the first time this year. Way too early it seems but garden planting season around here begins in March. I don't think I want to do too much in the way of gardening this year but still have time to change my mind.

I could be sleeping better but still manageable.

I'm very sorry to everyone for their difficulties that they're going through at this moment. In the meantime, I'm dealing with a pessimist on Facebook (part of me is tempted to tell them to "snap out of it" or something like that and then some, but then I think: how would I feel if I was the same way, and someone told me to "snap out of it"?), but other than that, I'm doing good, by the Grace of God

That zooming or ringing in your ears may be Tinnitus which can be the result of stress, medication or illness. I also suffer from a constant ringing in my ears which can get worse under certain circumstances. Hope it goes away soon Jeshu as your health improves. Make sure you try and get plenty of rest if possible.

I have that, its mostly due to nerve damage from loud music, guns, factories and power tools. Sometimes i wonder if its linked to stress as well. good night Vic.

Looks like fun Jeshu, but I don't know if those fish are good to eat as they are not the same as the salmon they have in Canada.

Yes, it can be caused by loud noise, but also stress, medication and illness can be a cause too. It's morning here now, but goodnight to you Extraneous!
