This document discusses passages from the Gospel of John chapter 3 that describe Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, a Pharisee and ruler of the Jews. Jesus tells Nicodemus that one must be "born again" or "born from above" to see the kingdom of God, meaning to belong to God rather than just one's behavior. The document then examines what it means that God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, saying that through Jesus, God listens, understands, accepts people as they are, and transforms them.

In Christ You Are... part 6 (Forgiven and Adopted)
There are not many things as wondrous to receive, or difficult to give, as the gift of forgiveness. However, in Christ we are made clean, no longer condemned, at peace with God, and called to forgive.
Vintage 10.14.18 hebrews4
This prayer asks God not to forsake those who feel abandoned and full of doubt, but to bring them life, nurture them, and sustain them even in death. It asks God to meet them in their deepest doubts and fears, and to let them experience God's mercy and grace during difficult times.

We can have assurance in Christ because we are saved through what Christ has done and not what we do.
No.6 God's plan of salvation, Part 2
God's plan of salvation involves three significant results: justification, adoption, and regeneration. Justification means God declares believers righteous because their sins were placed on Jesus. Adoption means believers become children of God and part of His family. Regeneration refers to being spiritually reborn or transformed as a new creation through faith in Christ. These gifts flow from God's costly love and save believers from sin and separation from God.

Beauty lies in the eyes of the Beholder
This document discusses the concept of beauty from both physical and biblical perspectives.

Count Your Blessings

Message of a Messenger
The document discusses the book of Amos from the Bible. Some key points:
1) Amos means "burden-bearer", indicating God uses people's names to communicate messages through prophets like Amos.
2) Amos prophesied during a time when Israel was prosperous but corrupt, oppressing the poor and engaging in idolatry. God sent Amos to warn of coming judgment if they did not repent.
3) Like Amos, believers are called out of their sins to follow God and must allow Him to transform their minds and captivate their hearts through His word. Staying sharp through scripture can prevent dullness.
4) The book of Am

Find peace and balance through life’s hectic pace with practical and spiritual insight from God’s Word. Life is full of obligations, emotions, and relationships. Some are life-giving, yet sometimes the weight and responsibility of everyday life is heavy to bear. As wives, mothers, friends, and daughters, we need to know we’re not alone. When our days are long, and our nights are restless, it’s easy to think we should be able to handle things on our own. Or that no one struggles like we do. Be encouraged with this 7-day reading plan with insights from Lysa TerKeurst and the women at Proverbs 31 Ministries.

What makes the difference? - Pr. Paulo Rabello
The document discusses the power and importance of intercessory prayer. It provides biblical examples and quotes from Ellen G. White to support the following key points:
1) Intercessory prayer is recommended in the Bible and can have positive impacts for those being prayed for as well as the one praying.
2) God is willing to hear our prayers and grant what we are praying for according to His will.
3) Heavenly beings such as angels are attentively waiting to act in favor of God and His cause in response to prayers.
4) Engaging in intercessory prayer on behalf of others is beneficial both for them and for our own spiritual growth and relationship with God.

Prophetic Imagination Part 3
The document discusses how carrying an "orphan spirit" can prevent us from seeing our future and destiny according to God's vision. It says an orphan spirit gives a sense of abandonment, lack of hope, and living only to meet needs in the present. But through the Holy Spirit living in us, we are not orphans, and can see with "eyes of our heart" what God has freely given. Breaking from an orphan mindset allows us to imagine the Father's vision as His children rather than feeling like beggars.

the-spirit-of-favor,Esthers Story Kayode Ijisesan
This document is a chapter from a book about divine favor. It discusses favor as the believer's heritage. Some key points:
- Favor is something God's chosen people have inherited through their covenant with God. As Christians, we are God's chosen and therefore highly favored.
- Esther's story demonstrates how she did not let her circumstances determine her future, but instead relied on her heritage of divine favor.
- As believers, we are meant to factor favor into our lives rather than relying solely on our own efforts. God intends to aid us supernaturally through favor.
- In this age, believers can experience God's favor and grace at an even greater depth than previous generations due to Christ
Holy spirit lesson 2
This document discusses the role of the Holy Spirit in interceding for believers. It begins by explaining that the Holy Spirit helps believers in their weakness, since they do not always know how to pray as they should. The Holy Spirit intercedes for believers with "groanings too deep for words." Commentators discuss what it means for the Holy Spirit to groan, and how this groaning corresponds to the groaning of creation and believers for redemption. The Holy Spirit comes alongside believers and carries part of their burden, helping them in their struggles against sin and suffering.

Do I Matter To God? A powerpoint to use for teen girls in understanding our purpose as female image bearers.
Sbs Class December 13 2009a
The document is a summary of a sermon on the self-sufficiency of God based on Psalm 50. The sermon argues that God does not need sacrifices from humanity because He possesses all qualities intrinsically and eternally. The Israelites wrongly viewed God as needy like pagan gods, but God tells them in Psalm 50 that He does not need their offerings to satisfy Himself, as He is fully sufficient within Himself. Believers should recognize that God is the giver and they are the receivers, and their thanksgiving should reflect this relationship rather than viewing God as dependent on humanity.

This 14 day reading plan is built from the NIV Real-Life Devotional Bible for Women by Zondervan.Ph power point_ch3
The document discusses the importance of seeking God through prayer. It makes three key points:
1) God is actively seeking those who seek him, and promises to be found by those who diligently look for him. Prayer requires actively pursuing a relationship with God.
2) Effective prayer comes from a place of faith in God's existence and character as a "rewarder." Doubting God's love and care for humanity hinders prayer.
3) Maintaining a deep sense of God's love is vital for prayer. Knowing of God's love through Christ allows believers to pray with confidence, rather than demanding proofs of affection. The goal of prayer should be intimacy with God rather than getting answers.

ADVENT: Hope
This document contains excerpts from various sources discussing the concept of hope. It begins with an opening prayer asking God to shape people's spirits through Christ's power so they can live with compassion and justice. Several passages then define hope and discuss what the ultimate hope of Christians is (Jesus and his promises). The document encourages people to not waste time, do their job of loving God and others, and to not give up hope or let go of Jesus. It concludes with a benediction praying that people stand in awe of God's deeds and yearn for the coming day of the Lord.
Rooted Deeply, Session 1, Rooted Deeply in Grace
God calls us to root ourselves deeply in grace by increasing our confidence in His commitment to forgive, love, and transform us. Going deeper into grace means going deeper into fellowship with God, into His love and transformation. The passage encourages going below the surface with God to see what He has done and still needs to do in our innermost being. Going deep with God, we find signs of His kingdom within us despite any shameful things, as He is our healer and savior.
Psalms
This document provides an overview and discussion of the book of Psalms in the Bible. It notes that the Psalms were written by different authors over a long period of time and contain varying and sometimes opposing descriptions of God. However, reading Psalms in their entirety often resolves apparent contradictions. The document argues that the Psalms show God wants an open and honest conversation about all aspects of human life and experience, both positive and negative. They demonstrate God is real and listens to real human struggles, questions, hurt, and more.

More from Tom Long
Attribute of courage
The document discusses fear and courage from a biblical perspective. It references several passages from the books of Mark and 1 John that discuss not being perfected in love if living in fear. It states that God uses fear as a tool, like a carpenter, and that people are made by God, not by their own courage or strength of will. It also discusses passages where Jesus urges or commands his disciples to get in a boat during a storm, questioning their fearfulness. The overall message seems to be that having faith in God can help overcome fear and that fear can prevent one from seeing what God is offering.
Attribute of hope
The document discusses the biblical story from 2 Kings 7 about how King Jehoram of Israel reacted with anger and hopelessness to a prophecy of future prosperity, while Elisha and others maintained hope in God's word. It highlights how God often answers prayers in unexpected ways using unlikely sources, and how maintaining an attitude of hope even in dark times can lead to recognizing God's answers when they come.
Attribute of justice
This document appears to be a collection of loosely related quotes and figures from the Bible and history. It includes a quote from Romans about civil authorities bearing the sword as God's ministers to execute wrath on evildoers. It then lists some famous law enforcement figures like J. Edgar Hoover and criminals they pursued. It draws a parallel between Abraham Lincoln and the biblical figure Jephthah, noting ways they were similar. It also includes information about General Daniel Sickles. The document does not provide much context or connection between these various pieces of information.
Attribute of faithfulness
This document discusses God's attribute of faithfulness through several Bible passages. It notes that while men can be faithless, God remains faithful and that it is better to trust in God than in man. The Bible contains stories of faithless men who were still used by God. God's faithfulness cannot be denied. Additional passages discussed include 1 Kings 17, Hebrews 11, and Proverbs 11:24 about generosity leading to riches.

The document encourages trusting in God, citing passages that discuss God moving faithless men and blessing those who trust in Him. It concludes with a passage from Proverbs about generosity leading to riches.
Attribute of grace
The document discusses the biblical letter of Philemon. It was written by Paul to Philemon, a pastor, asking him to accept back Onesimus, Philemon's runaway slave. Onesimus had become a Christian after meeting Paul in prison. Paul pleads for Philemon to forgive Onesimus and treat him not as a slave but as a brother in Christ. The document emphasizes God's grace and the importance of forgiveness.
God's attribute of wisdom
This document discusses the attribute of wisdom in the Bible. It defines wisdom as foundational and necessary to navigate life. True wisdom comes from fearing God and asking Him for wisdom. In contrast, worldly wisdom is described as self-seeking, envious, boastful, sensual and demonic. God's wisdom is characterized as pure, peaceable, gentle and full of mercy. The document encourages seeking wisdom, which walks as Jesus walked and has many benefits like preserving, honoring and adding years to one's life. Wisdom is portrayed as a learned process involving controlling appetites, keeping one's word, and evaluating motives.
The best witness
This document contains excerpts from speeches given by Billy Graham when receiving the Congressional Gold Medal in 1996. In the speeches, Graham says that America has gone down the wrong path and needs God's help. He acknowledges that all people are sinners but that Christ's sacrifice offers forgiveness to those who accept it, though it will cost them to follow Him. The document also contains contrasts between the wisdom of this age and God's wisdom, and messages communicated by the world versus God's message.
Anatomy of a pure heart
This document provides a summary of Acts chapters 24-25. It discusses Paul's hearing before Felix in Caesarea, where the high priest Tertullus accuses Paul of causing trouble. Felix delays making a decision. After two years, Festus replaces Felix as governor. When Paul appeals to Caesar, Festus discusses the case with King Agrippa. Paul declares his innocence and tells of his vision and mission to the Gentiles. The king is almost persuaded to become a Christian.
A cross to bear
The document discusses how every cross given to a person by God has certain characteristics and serves as a teacher. It states that a cross teaches sacrificial love, focus, submission, wisdom, boundaries, and reveals God. It also notes that through enduring one's cross, a person can gain success through failure, comfort through hardship, strength through weakness, wisdom through confusion, and new life through dying daily.
Peace amid hysteria
The document discusses peace amid hysteria from Acts 22:1-29. It contrasts life with and without God's Word. With God's Word, one finds conversion, wisdom, joy and enlightenment, while without it leads to hysteria, confusion and lack of reason. It notes historical examples of "uproar". It encourages understanding God's will through Scripture and finding revival through God's Word when afflicted for keeping it, as maintaining peace requires removing hysteria through reason and sobriety of mind found in following Christ.
Heart of a shepherd
This document discusses themes from Acts 21:1-14 related to having a shepherd's heart like Jesus. It notes that as Christians traveled with Paul from Macedonia to Jerusalem, Paul warned them that imprisonment awaited him in Jerusalem. However, the Christians encouraged Paul to continue his ministry, trusting that God's will would be done. The document emphasizes that a good shepherd, like Jesus, is willing to sacrifice and care for their flock.

Vision 2020
This document provides an annual review and celebration for a church, summarizing their activities and finances from 2019. It highlights that the church held over 600 gatherings for worship, teaching, prayer, outreach and ministry. Financially, they had total income of $595,114 and expenses of $631,069. They supported multiple local and international missions through giving over $131,969. The review celebrates 21 years of the church's heritage and their purpose of glorifying God through teaching, worship, fellowship and outreach.

God's team mission
This document discusses the importance of teamwork and faithfulness. It references several Bible verses about how everyone has an important role to play and how God looks at the heart rather than outward appearances. It also quotes former U.S. President Calvin Coolidge saying nothing is more powerful than persistence and faithfulness. The document promotes working together as a team for God's mission.
Call me blessed
The document discusses several Bible verses about God's ways being higher than human ways and thoughts. It notes that while people may see circumstances as bad, God could actually be at work through those circumstances. The overall message is that God's plans and reasoning are beyond human understanding.
The unfolding story
This document discusses chapters 18-19 of the Book of Acts, focusing on Paul's journey and the people and events that shaped his story. It provides a timeline of Paul's first visit to Corinth and Ephesus from 49-50 AD. The document also discusses key concepts in 1 Corinthians and Ephesians like unity in the biblical community.
Sacrifice and virtue
The document discusses Paul's journey and prolonged stay in Corinth as described in Acts 18. It emphasizes that the degree of virtue attained is equal to the degree of sacrifice one is willing to make, citing passages from Romans and Ecclesiastes. It provides context about Paul's travels between cities like Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens before his first visit to Corinth around 49-50 AD.
His story
1) Paul continues his second missionary journey, traveling through various regions to spread the gospel, including Troas, Macedonia, Galatia, Bithynia, Asia, Mysia, and Phrygia.
2) In Philippi, Paul encounters a slave girl who can predict the future, but Paul casts out the spirit of divination from her, angering her owners. Paul and Silas are arrested and beaten.
3) An earthquake frees Paul and Silas from prison, and the jailer and his family are converted after Paul explains that they must believe in Jesus to be saved.

Number of petals: 4 Location: Base of the spine Name: Foundation
Plane: Physical plane Sense Organ: Nose Work Organ: Anus Sense: Smell Element: Earth Shape: Square Sound: Lang
Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.

The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.

From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.

sanskrit yoga mantras chanting for yoga class
Introduction
Mantra Yoga is an exact science. "Mananat trayate iti mantrah- by the Manana (constant thinking or recollection) of which one is protected or is released from the round of births and deaths, is Mantra." That is called Mantra by the meditation (Manana) on which the Jiva or the individual soul attains freedom from sin, enjoyment in heaven and final liberation, and by the aid of which it attains in full the fourfold fruit (Chaturvarga), i.e., Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. A Mantra is so called because it is achieved by the mental process.

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.
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.

In his search towards reality or the unchanging fundamental unit of this universe, a scientist started with the external gross world of solid matter which is simple and easy to see, divide, and do experiments with.
This search led him through steps of understanding of this entire world of matter starting from elements, molecules, atoms, protons, neutrons and electrons;
He further understood that it is all packets of energy.
The atoms conglomerate together to form various chemicals; our body is therefore a permutation and combination of various chemicals. (Packets of energy in various configurations) When they join together they form molecules, cells, tissues organs, etc.
These follow certain well defined laws of nature and are controlled by nervous (electrical) and chemical (hormones) mechanisms to bring about movement and action in each and every cell.
