How can I be sure of my faith?
The document discusses the experience of finding faith and a relationship with God. It describes feelings of hope replacing despair, the ability to forgive, and feeling God's presence filling a void. Several Bible verses are referenced that discuss beliefs around salvation, eternal life, and God being with believers always. The document advocates openly confessing that Jesus is Lord and turning away from wrongdoing to receive forgiveness and God's Holy Spirit.
2 new birth
The document discusses the new birth, which is a spiritual regeneration that allows one to enter God's kingdom. It involves being born again through the word of God and the Holy Spirit. The old man refers to one's sinful nature prior to salvation, characterized by wickedness, while the new nature comes through faith in Christ and is a new creation. The Christian life experienced through the new birth brings true happiness by surrendering to God rather than living for sinful desires of the flesh.
The way you think matters
This document discusses how one's thoughts shape their life and character. It encourages focusing thoughts on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, and praiseworthy. Running the race of life requires discipline and bringing thoughts into submission. True stability comes from being thankful for what God provides, patiently waiting on his direction, welcoming challenge, and hardship. Knowing Jesus Christ allows one to become their best self.
Divine Dualities: Holding the Balance
As part of Biblefresh - celebrating the year of the Bible - Wycliffe Bible Translators have been running a series of evening classes. The classes have provided Bible training from Bible translators.
In the sixth installment, Pam Bendor-Samuel considered some of the dualities the Bible presents to us about God, and suggests ways we can meditate on God through these.
Why did Jesus die?
1) The document discusses why Jesus died, noting that all humans have sinned and fall short of God's glory.
2) It states that the penalty for sin is death, and that Jesus died on the cross to save humanity from sin and offer eternal life.
3) The conclusion is that Jesus' death on the cross was the solution and answer to humanity's sin problem, providing forgiveness and healing to all who believe in him.
How can I resist evil?
The document discusses resisting evil and the devil based on passages from the Bible. It describes the devil as a deceiver who tempts humans to sin and doubts God. The devil's goal is to steal, kill and destroy. However, Christians have power over the devil through faith in God and by putting on spiritual armor like truth, righteousness, salvation and prayer. Believers can stand against the devil and attack his strongholds through prayer and godly action.
Jesus revealed as the Christ to the Baptist
The document discusses John the Baptist and his revelation of Jesus as the Christ. It describes John as the forerunner of Jesus who was ordained by God to preach to the Jews and baptize people for repentance. John came to know Jesus was the Christ through the Spirit descending on Him and a voice from heaven. The document provides several scriptural passages that authenticate John's declarations about Jesus being ranked higher than all others, the Lamb of God who takes away sins, the Son of God, and the baptizer with the Holy Spirit.
The Person and Work of Holy Spirit
This document discusses the Holy Spirit and his role. It states that the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity who came to take Jesus' place after he ascended to heaven. The Holy Spirit lives in believers and empowers them to do greater works than Jesus and to demonstrate fruits of the spirit and spiritual gifts. Examples are given of people throughout history who were filled with the Holy Spirit and accomplished miraculous things like healing the sick and raising the dead. The document encourages readers to be filled with the Holy Spirit so they can take Jesus' message to the world.

Intro to the Journey
The document discusses the process of spiritual formation as a journey with three phases: 1) Meeting people where they are by understanding their worldview, personality, and emotional baggage, 2) Teaching people where they need to go through a six-unit gospel study, and 3) Empowering people to find their own unique path by discovering their spiritual gifts and passions. The goal is to help people surrender their old selves and put on their new identity in Christ through compassionate outreach, directed teaching, and empowered self-discovery.

The best possible outcome is when we know who we are in Christ and live accordingly; Jesus being the Vine, and we the branches.

How Does Fear Fit With The New Covenant of Grace? Acts 5:11-42
This document is a summary of a sermon on how fear fits within the new covenant of grace. It discusses different meanings of the Hebrew word "yara" which is often translated as fear but can also mean reverence. It explores how yara refers to a "flowing of the gut" and applies to God as referring to his nature and spirit flowing out to us. Overall it aims to resolve how believers can be instructed to fear God but also told not to be afraid by distinguishing types of fear and examining the context of loving obedience and relationship under grace rather than law.

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.

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.
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.

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.

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 IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The subject of spiritualism fundamentally relates to two specific tenets, independent yet closely associated as one—awareness and consciousness.
