In conclusion, praise positions us for victory.Honest to God | A Sermon on Job 42:7
This is the final sermon is a five-week series on Job. Job spoke rightly, because Job was honest to God.

It explains that the Holy Spirit will teach and remind believers of Jesus' words, and enlighten their hearts. It outlines five ways to prepare for illumination: having a personal relationship with Jesus; asking God in faith to open one's eyes; having a humble attitude; having a clean heart; and committing to obey what one sees. When God illuminates believers' eyes, they will be able to see solutions to problems, barriers to progress, what God will use to defend them, and God walking with them.

In our quest to imitate Jesus Christ, we seek to abide. Our seeking the Lord is to abide in Him and enjoy the blessings of that abode. The life of a seeking is hard, yet rewarding
Why Me God? Why me...
The author questions "Why me God?" when experiencing pain and illness. They find answers in Psalm 103, realizing God blesses them with benefits, forgives sins, heals diseases, and shows great mercy and compassion. God cares for them not because of what they have done, but because of His unconditional love, as a father cares for his children. Rather than complain, they recognize God's goodness and bring thanks through all life's challenges, knowing His love will bring victory.
Songs for 2nd service
The document contains several hymns praising God. It opens with a hymn declaring God as holy and ruler of heaven and earth. The second hymn rejoices that Jesus Christ reigns as savior and God of truth and love. The hymns ask believers to lift their hearts and voices in praise. They express hope in Christ's return and taking believers to their eternal home. The remaining hymns request God's presence and guidance, and proclaim his saving and redeeming grace.
lesson 2.pptx
This document summarizes several important prayers from the Bible and discusses what they reveal about prayer. It outlines prayers from the Lord's Prayer, Moses, David, Hezekiah, Paul and Joshua. It then analyzes how our prayers reflect how we view God, ourselves, and the kind of relationship we have with God. Specifically, it notes that when we live independently of God, our relationship with Him deteriorates, just as marriages do when couples live separately. The key message is that prayers in the Bible depict a God who is committed to our best interests simply because of His love for us.
1 Peter 5e
God, through His grace, calls believers to eternal glory in Christ Jesus. After suffering for a time, God will perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle believers. God graciously gives believers a new heart and puts His Spirit within them, enabling them to walk in His ways. Believers cannot claim to deserve God's love and salvation, yet God passionately loves even insignificant humans. God's grace is received with gratitude.
Prayer great prayers in the bible
The document discusses several important prayers from the Bible, including the Lord's Prayer, the Prayer of Moses, the Prayer of David, the Prayer of King Hezekiah, the Prayer of Paul, and the Prayer of Joshua. It notes that there are over 650 recorded prayers in the Bible with over 450 recorded answers. The prayers range from asking, interceding, confessing, thanksgiving, worship, and being in God's presence. The document concludes that great prayers in the Bible reflect how we view God, ourselves, and the relationship we have with God.
The holy spirit garment of praise
The document discusses the concept of a "garment of praise" mentioned in Isaiah 61:3. It provides several biblical commentaries and perspectives on what it means to wear a "garment of praise" and how praising God can overcome a "spirit of heaviness." Key points include:
- A garment of praise refers to outwardly displaying praise and thanksgiving to God, similar to how a garment is visible. It can transform one's psychological state from sadness to joy.
- Regularly praising God through song, as David and others did, can lead to an "irreversible blessing" from God.
- A spirit of heaviness or fainting is a demonic spirit
Grounded growing church
The document discusses longing for fulfillment through a relationship with God rather than living on "crumbs" and feeling "alone". It references Isaiah 35's prophecy of renewal and God's promises of joy and fruitfulness for the righteous from Psalm 1. The conclusion encourages committing to God's leading through obedience, immersion in scripture, community, prayer, and participating in God's mission together.
Cleansing the heart
This document discusses how to prepare one's heart for listening prayer through confession of sin and trusting in God rather than giving in to fear. It explores how denying sins and fear can make our hearts unclean and hinder hearing from God. The document provides scriptures and prayers focused on cleansing the heart by confessing sin, surrendering to God, resisting the devil, and humbling oneself before God to receive his guidance.
Encouragement from the bible.
This document contains notes from a seminar on learning to prophesy. It includes passages from the Bible organized by topic that participants were instructed to use to prophesy to each other in groups. It discusses practicing prophetic words in front of the class and journaling about a passage to later share. It explains that God reveals things to come so people can pray and prevent or change situations, citing examples from the Bible. The overall document provides guidance and structure for participants to learn and develop prophetic gifts through Scripture, peer practice, and personal reflection.
he will be called counselor
Isaiah 9:6-7 His name will be called or He would be known as counselor. He is a counselor who understands your struggles. He is a counselor who cares for you. He is a counselor who is committed to you.
April 17, 2011
This document contains the order of service for a church parish on April 17, 2011. It includes elements such as a call to worship, opening songs, prayers, scripture readings from Isaiah and Psalms, a sermon, offering, and benediction.

The Holy Spirit Reveals Jesus - Acts 2
The Holy Spirit reveals Jesus and empowers believers through spiritual gifts. When the Spirit is poured out, it alters people's theology based on their new experiences. God poured out the Spirit so that Jesus' church could bring His kingdom and answers through prophetic words, visions, and discernment. As believers operate in the Spirit through agreement and declaration, things can be "tied up" or "released" on earth as determined in heaven. The Spirit convicts people of their need for Jesus and righteousness found only through Him.

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.

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.
