Fasting benefits
This document discusses the spiritual discipline of fasting and its benefits. It notes that fasting requires self-discipline and denial of natural appetites in order to focus on God. Fasting is often linked with prayer in scripture and can make prayers more powerful. When fasting, one should do so quietly and not draw attention to themselves, as fasting is about seeking God not impressing others. The document outlines various reasons Christians throughout history have fasted, including spiritual maintenance, seeking God's help in difficult times, protection from danger, and empowerment for ministry assignments.
Walking with god leviticus
This document discusses the biblical holy days that God established for the Israelites. These holy days included Passover, Unleavened Bread, Firstfruits, Feast of Weeks, Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement, and Feast of Booths. The holy days served to remind the Israelites of God's works, provide times to meet with God, and were prophetic pictures of God's unfolding plan. Jesus fulfilled the meaning and purpose of several of these holy days through his life, death, and resurrection. Leviticus teaches about God's holiness and requirements for fellowship with him through sacrifices and rituals, which pointed ahead to the perfect work and permanent sacrifice of Jesus Christ.
Jesus and the Sabbath
Jesus and his disciples were criticized by some Pharisees for plucking and eating grain on the Sabbath, which they interpreted as work prohibited by the ceremonial law. Jesus justified their actions by referring to when David and his companions ate ceremonial bread meant for priests when hungry. Jesus then proclaimed that he was "Lord of the Sabbath." On another Sabbath, Jesus healed a man with a withered hand in the synagogue, provoking the scribes and Pharisees as they sought to accuse him of Sabbath violations. When Jesus challenged whether it was lawful to do good or harm on the Sabbath, they remained silent but were filled with fury toward Jesus.
New testament-christianity
We must take heed to what we have learned in the past (Heb. 2:1). There is a danger in drifting away from the truth (Heb. 2:2, 3). Therefore, we must be reminded of the things we already know (1 Cor. 4:17).
One thing we need to remind ourselves, and teach to our neighbors, is the basic truth about New Testament Christianity. There is a lot of false teaching out there and people have the wrong concept (Matt. 7:15-20). It is our duty to expose it and teach them the truth (Eph. 5:11).
This lesson will notice that New Testament Christians: (1) Believed in Christ; (2) Submitted to the plan of salvation; (3) Were just Christians; (4) Were not part of any denominations.

Proper rest, including adequate sleep, is essential for physical and mental well-being. The document also discusses the importance of spiritual rest found through Jesus, as well as observing a day of rest, or Sabbath, on a weekly basis as prescribed in the Bible.
11 sabbath gift from eden
This document contains a lesson on Sabbath that answers three questions: why we must keep Sabbath, how we must keep Sabbath, and how Sabbath is related to the end times. It discusses that Sabbath must be kept because of creation, redemption from sin, and sanctification by God. Jesus showed how to keep Sabbath by prioritizing human needs over strict rules. Sabbath will be a point of contention in the end times as it signifies loyalty to God as Creator versus evolutionary beliefs. Keeping Sabbath rejects false theories and remembers that God sanctifies believers.
Learning obedience from jesus
This document provides a lesson about Jesus' death and resurrection. It discusses how Jesus was killed but did not remain dead, as he rose from the dead and is alive forever, having power over death. The lesson objectives are to tell what happened on the third day after Jesus died, praise Jesus for his power over death, and accept Jesus as savior and king. It relates Jesus' resurrection to how he is able to save people from sin and make peace between humanity and God.
The sect everywhere spoken against acts 28
The early church in Acts enjoyed popularity but later faced criticism, as outlined in three reasons. First, the doctrine of one God and Jesus Christ was unpopular to pagans and Jews. Second, the church aggressively pressed the battle for truth against the world and false brethren. Third, this sometimes caused disturbances and uprisings as people did not want to give up sin, though the true church should not be deterred from proceeding with truth.
Church 25 1,2
The document discusses Derek Webb's thoughts on church. According to Webb, if community is separated from the gospel, then it stops being the gospel. Additionally, if one claims to love Jesus, then they will feel compelled to love others. Webb believes church is not about behavior modification, but allowing the Holy Spirit to work within believers and change them as they live in community with one another. The document provides definitions of "church" and matches scripture passages to those definitions. It also discusses how the church began at Pentecost and involves other people besides Peter in building the early church.
The Overflow Class Week 5
The document discusses worship in the Old and New Testaments. It explains key Hebrew and Greek words used to describe worship, which refer to attitudes of humility, fear, and devotion, as well as actions like bowing down and committing oneself to service. Worship is defined as the awe-filled act of throwing oneself before God and offering everything. The document also discusses how believers now comprise the temple, and defines worship as the believer's loving response to God with their whole being through obedience and growing knowledge of Him.

Communion
The document discusses the Christian practice of communion (also called The Lord's Supper), which involves eating bread and drinking wine/juice in remembrance of Jesus' life and sacrifice.

The bread represents Jesus' body and the wine/juice represents his blood shed for the forgiveness of sins. Partaking in communion allows Christians to reflect on who Jesus is and what he has done for humanity.

Private devotions
This document provides guidance on developing a regular practice of private devotions. It suggests that great men of the Bible, including Isaac, David, Daniel, and Jesus himself engaged in private prayer and meditation.

A FASTING THAT PLEASES GOD
Fasting is recommended in times of special need, such as when studying the Bible, surrendering fully to God, or overcoming in the end times. It should be accompanied by prayer, confession of sin, and humility. Extraordinary fasts were practiced by biblical figures like Jesus, Moses, and Elijah. National fasts occurred in Israel and Nineveh. Fasting was misused by hypocrites but can be beneficial when done with the right spirit and for the right reasons, such as resolving issues in the church or transitioning to a vegetarian diet. Outward fasting without a humble spirit is of no value to God.

The Lord's Supper commemorates Jesus' instruction at the Last Supper to eat bread and drink wine in remembrance of his body and blood.
Christ's True Church Today
The document discusses the church of Christ and its core beliefs and practices based on teachings from the New Testament.

Have You Ever Been Busy Enough That You
Martha was so busy with her daily tasks that she almost missed a visit from Jesus, just as Thomas and the rich young ruler each doubted Jesus due to their preoccupations. The document warns that saying "I have to..." or "I don't have time..." are dangerous phrases that could cause someone to miss Jesus, and it lists work, school, hobbies, family, church, and other things as potential distractions that may prevent one from fully experiencing Jesus if allowed to consume all of one's time and attention.

It discusses defining communication and considering all family members, including singles, parents, couples, children and grandparents. It also examines biblical passages about God and family, then outlines a 4-step process for families: 1) decide what is important to discuss, 2) set a good example, 3) involve children, and 4) live for God through commitment and guidance from God's word.

The key aspects of strong marriages highlighted are commitment, understanding, and forgiveness.
Six Steps To Spiritual Restoration Part 3
The document outlines six steps to spiritual restoration: 1) See the need for restoration, 2) Seek God, and 3) Forgiveness. It discusses how Christ's blood sacrifice provides forgiveness for sins, referencing Bible passages about the first blood shed, sacrifices requiring blood, and Christ as the perfect lamb. It notes one must be in Christ through baptism and faith to access this forgiveness.
Six Steps To Spiritual Restoration
The document discusses six steps to spiritual restoration. It explains that even spiritual leaders like David needed restoration. Restoration is repairing or renewing something to its original state. Sin separates people from God. People become infected with sin when they disobey God's guidelines or forget them. The cure for sin is Jesus, who died for sins and cleansed people through obedience. Knowledge of the cure is useless without taking action by going to Jesus for healing. The first step is recognizing the need for spiritual restoration.
Remaining Faithful in Uncertain Times
With so many factors having an influence on every decision, it will definitely have an effect on our spiritual lives. I want to examine the life of Elijah and his battle with the prophets of Baal in 1 Kings 18. Give it a look and let me know what you think.
Back To The Basics 1
The document discusses returning to the fundamentals and foundations of Christianity by examining what the basics are according to the Bible. It explores what the basics are regarding God, the Bible, belief, faith, baptism, and worship. It encourages standing firm in faith, believing the truth, returning to the truth, establishing values, praying, and reaching out to others as actions one should take regarding the basic teachings of Christianity.
Back To The Basics 2
This is the second lesson in a series I have on "Back to the Basics." Every Christian needs to return to the basics from time to time to strengthen their foundation.
Back To The Basics Jesus
This document discusses the fundamentals of Christianity and who Jesus Christ is. It defines Jesus as the meeting place of eternity and time, with both deity and humanity. The document explains that Jesus' words and actions were life-changing, as he touched the untouchable and talked to the friendless. It states that Jesus was our sin offering, Passover lamb, and that he purchased us with his blood and made us alive through reconciliation with God. Finally, it argues that we need Jesus because he is the way, truth, and life and the only way to heaven.

31st July 2016 - Christian Fasting
Christian fasting is not commanded by Scripture but is presented as beneficial for spiritual growth. Fasting involves abstaining from food, drink, sleep, or sex to focus on God through prayer and worship. While fasting is often linked with denying oneself food, the Bible provides other examples of fasting such as refraining from marital intimacy. The purpose of fasting is to redirect one's attention to God rather than to punish the flesh or lose weight. Fasting humbly denies fleshly things in order to glorify God and enhance spiritual life. A true fast involves serving others through acts of mercy as described in Isaiah 58.
Fasting
Fasting involves abstaining from food and drink, typically for spiritual purposes such as drawing closer to God. The main objective of fasting is to gain God's perspective and do his will. Fasting should be done privately without appearing to boast. People fast about important decisions, trials, serving God, and drawing near to him. Fasting times vary but commonly last a day or more. Fasting can strengthen people spiritually and help them remain close to God.

This document provides information about a church service and Lenten season. It includes summaries of Bible passages, prayers, and an article about fasting.

The document encourages embracing fasting traditions and suggests reasons one might fast during Lent, such as for social justice issues.
20th July 2016 - Biblical Fasting
Biblical fasting is a spiritual discipline encouraged by Jesus where Christians deprive their body of food and nourishment to draw closer to God through prayer and meditation. Fasting should be done humbly and sincerely with the right attitudes and motives such as seeking God's will, helping others in need, and pursuing spiritual revival. When practiced correctly, fasting can strengthen a person spiritually and increase their sensitivity to God as their physical hunger and weakness draws them to rely more on God's strength.
Three kinds of rest, part three
A brief examination of the concept of practicing rest, observing a sabbath, and setting apart a "temple in time" the imitates God's rhythm of rest in creation.
Christian Baptism
The document discusses Christian baptism, presenting what it is and is not according to the Bible. It states baptism is a command of Jesus, symbolizes identification with his death and resurrection, and expresses obedience and allegiance to God. The Bible teaches baptism should be by immersion of believers, as evidenced by accounts of believers' baptism in the New Testament. The document questions traditions like infant baptism and sprinkling not explicitly supported by Scripture. It encourages examining one's own baptism experience and ensuring it aligns with biblical teaching.
Gracious Jesus 35 New patches on Old
Jesus explains the difference between righteous and religious fasting. Righteous fasting involves mourning over sins and spending time with God to understand Jesus, while religious fasting is superficial and leads to self-righteousness. Jesus' disciples did not need to fast while he was with them, but would fast after he left, focusing on repentance. Fasting strengthens one's relationship with God and resistance to sin, while religious fasting is like putting a new patch on old cloth - it only temporarily covers underlying flaws and will not withstand testing.

It begins by noting that fasting was practiced from the earliest times by Adam and Eve, as well as important biblical figures like Moses, Elijah, Jesus, and the apostles. Entire populations also engaged in collective fasts in the Bible. Fasting helps conquer bodily desires and elevates the soul. It has traditionally preceded important spiritual events and graces. The document aims to explore the spiritual concepts and proper conduct of fasting.
Health & salvation
- Health and salvation are gifts from God that must be nurtured corporately within church families, rather than as individual endeavors, in order to preserve and protect them.
- Like Abraham receiving God's promise, health and salvation are given so that we may bless the world. We must live them out together.
- Jesus was the ultimate example of selflessly laboring for human salvation. His benevolence and sacrifice far surpass any human efforts.
- Neglecting health through lustful appetites enslaves people and clouds their understanding of God's word. Christians must prepare for Christ's return by conforming their lives to Scripture.
- Revival involves renewing spiritual life and resurrecting from spiritual

The church plays an important role in God's plan of salvation. It exists to bring people into a saving relationship with God and to prepare them for Christ's return. While imperfect, the church is the body of Christ on earth. It is described in the Bible as God's people and as a pillar of truth.

The church's mission involves evangelism, edification of believers, worship, and social engagement. Unity is essential for the church to accomplish its mission, and Jesus prayed for the unity of believers.

Specifically, the Spirit helps believers, intercedes for them, and those in Christ have God on their side. To experience God's goodness, one should be in Christ, focus their mind on spiritual things, communicate with God in prayer, and live according to his purpose.

Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...
This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension. Finally, the lecture concludes with some contributions made by space religions and space philosophy and their influences on various cultural facets in art, literature and film.
Is Lucid Dreaming Dangerous? Risks and Benefits!
Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.
The Revelation Chapter 7 Working Copy.docx
John witnesses the sealing of God's 144,000 witnesses, and he hears the crying out or shouting of an unnumbered multitude of those who have been saved during the great tribulation.
This is an intermission scene before opening the seventh seal. We have seen six seals opened revealing of the events that would shortly occur. The first 4 reveal what was to occur in the great tribulation during the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans in AD70.
The fifth seal reveals the question from those slain as to when the Lord would avenge their death. The sixth seal reveals the answer to them from the One on the throne and of the Lamb which would be the punishment of their persecutors and accomplices. John sees four messengers/angels holding back the four winds of the earth & keeping them from blowing on the earth, the sea or any tree. In this figurative language, these are not heavenly messengers/angels. These represent those who are trying to restrain the word of God everywhere. Their efforts are restrained by the messenger in verse 2, preventing them from holding back the 4 winds, the spread of the gospel of Christ by His messengers/angels. These 4 winds stand on the four corners of the earth, Rome’s worldwide influence to stop its spread. But the gospel will be preached in all the earth. See the study for the Bible passages that support this. John hears the commands given relating to the sealing of the servants of God and the figurative number representing them. John sees a great multitude standing before the throne of all nations and kindreds and people and tongues who are clothed with white robes. All the messengers/angels stood around the throne and the elders and the four beasts fell before the throne and worshipped God. One of the elders asks John what those were that were wearing white robes. John said he knew and the elder identifies them. The chapter ends with his explanation.
THE IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The subject of spiritualism fundamentally relates to two specific tenets, independent yet closely associated as one—awareness and consciousness.

Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...
Esta lição é uma oportunidade para discutirmos um assunto multo mal interpretado no contexto cristão, que é o fato de algumas pessoas pensarem que o conhecer Jesus é ter a nossa vida mudada em todas as áreas, como se Deus tivesse o dever de transportar-nos deste mundo para um outro mundo onde muitas coisas maravilhosas que desejamos seriam reais. No entanto, a nossa fé não nos tira do mundo após nos convertermos; ao invés disso, permanecemos vivendo sob as mesmas circunstâncias. O propósito de Deus não é nos tirar do mundo, mas nos livrar das ações do maligno (Jo 17.15), Sendo assim, a vida eterna não significa estar fora da realidade deste mundo, mas conhecer o único Deus verdadeiro (Jo 17.3).
