Lição 12: João 15 a 17 – O Espírito Santo e a Oração Sacerdotal | 2° Trimestr...OmarBarrezueta1
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).

Renewed in Grace
The Book of Revelation, filled with symbolic and apocalyptic imagery, presents one of its most striking visions in Revelation 9:3-12—the locust army. Understanding the significance of this locust army provides insight into the broader themes of divine judgment, protection, and the ultimate triumph of God’s will as depicted in Revelation.
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.
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.
Astronism, Cosmism and Cosmodeism: the space religions espousing the doctrine...Cometan
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.

A NOTE FROM PASTOR JOEY
We have this enormous ability as humans to block out the negative and
remember the positive which is born out in the adage, ‘memories make
life sweet.’ We are now entering the Fall Season. What are your
memories of Fall? I am aware that those who grew up in other environs
are apt to say California doesn’t have seasons, yet please indulge for a
moment.
I grew up in central Orange County when truck farms and citrus groves
where virtually everywhere. As the weather began to get cooler, two
things happened. You could smell the orange blossoms as the fruit began
to ripen, and some nights, the fog around my neighborhood was so
dense that driving was quite dangerous. My childhood home was a
couple of long blocks from the main entrance to Disneyland so as you
might imagine the orange trees and farms are long gone. If the lack of
fog is a result of global warming or a simple result of the lack of crops
and orchards, this is for someone with a keener mind with regard to the
scientific world. These, along with holiday gatherings, color my world
view. I was speaking with a friend recently who shared that her mother
was such a good cook that friends and relatives would come from near
and far to celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas. While my memory of
my mom’s cooking is quite fond, it seems to me something else was at
play: Intentional hospitality and a sense of purposeful invitation.
If you did not have a place to go for the holidays, there was always a
place for you at my parent’s table. The older I get their behavior comes
to me as a biblical message: Taking in strangers and welcoming others.
Part of the question we need to ask as we move toward the holidays is,
are we inviting and especially, are we hospitable? Think of it? The love
of God is Jesus invites us all. One poet refers to Jesus as the hound of
heaven seeking out the least and the lost and the lonely. Our story as
people of faith is rooted in the relationship between invitation and
hospitality
Your Friend and Pastor,
Joey

7. His wife Cindy will not be with him as she has already returned to Thailand. In October 2010 Gary and
Cindy opened Angel’s Haven, a facility for children with HIV/AIDS in Chiang Mai, located about 420
miles north of Bangkok. They wanted to provide a safe environment and personal care for young girls who
have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS and also have HIV/AIDS. It is among the first social ministries of the
church in Thailand, where United Methodist mission work is a fairly recent addition to the Southeast Asia
Mission Initiative.
Gary and Cindy are from Southern California and are members of Covenant United Methodist Church, a
Korean -American congregation in Pomona. They spent seven years in preparation for mission service after
experiencing a call during a training program offered in Los Angeles by a Korea-based organization. Gary
says that he encountered Jesus personally and experienced the Holy Spirit on a retreat in 1998. He was a
chiropractor by profession before entering full-time mission work. The Moons are the parents of 3 grown
children: Hanah, Michael, and Sarah.

luncheon and meeting on Wednesday, October 12th, at

MARK YOUR CALENDARS - KIDS FOR JOY FUNDRAISER
• Helping to bring about some form of relief and stability to underprivileged children in Liberia, West
Africa
• Helping to ease the process of acquiring education
• Providing resources that would create a fun, interactive, creative and safe environment
• Helping the kids feel like kids again
Francis is planning to visit Liberia in December. At that time he plans to visit the Carolyn A. Miller School
and deliver the funds that he has raised and present the school with some much needed supplies. The
school provides free education to over 500 children in Liberia.
Join us in the Social Hall on Saturday, November 5th at 2:00 PM, for a
wonderful event! Francis Nyaforh, a.k.a. Jaway, will bring together musical
acts to entertain and raise funds and awareness for his non-profit
foundation, KIDS FOR JOY!

necessary. A free-will offering will be taken and checks made payable to
Kids for Joy will be gladly accepted. The goals of the foundation are:
8. 1,610,355 Care Packages have been sent to date, as Operation Gratitude is on the March to the 2nd Million.
Anita McChesney has volunteered several times this year.
Members of our congregation will be going to the Assembly Day on Saturday, November 19, from 9 am
until noon at the new location at 21100 Lassen Street in Chatsworth, just west of DeSoto. There will also be
Assembly Days on Sat, Oct. 15, and Wed, Oct. 26, 9 am - 12 noon on both days. If you are interested in
volunteering at any time, you should sign-in on line at www.operationgratitude.com/volunteer. All
volunteers must fill out a RELEASE FORM for each Assembly Day and sign in at the Volunteer Tables in
the parking lot.
There are seated and standing jobs on all Assembly Days. All weekend Assembly Days include both “Prep”
and “Assembly” work. “Prep” work consists of sorting donated items, folding shirts, screening letters, quality
controlling Battalion Buddies, prepping Medallions, and preparing products and the Assembly Line for the
Assembly Days. “Assembly” work includes production of the care packages, labeling, taping, letter reading
and writing, running packages, re-stocking the lines, breaking down cartons and many other tasks. If time
allows, you will be provided instruction and materials for making Paracord ‘Survival’ Bracelets and Battalion
Buddies on-site.
An important element in each Care Package are the letters of appreciation from those of us at home.
Operation Gratitude likes to include at least 5 letters per care package, so they need hundreds of thousands
of them for the Deployed Troops, New Recruits, Veterans, and Wounded Heroes. When we go as a group,
we always take letters written by members of our congregation. Note paper is provided and we ask that you
write letters during Coffee Fellowship or take home several pieces of note paper and return the written notes
the following week. Place them in the box labeled Operation Gratitude in the Lounge. No envelopes are
necessary.
It is suggested that you start with “Dear Hero”, “Dear Patriot”, “Dear Brave One”, “Dear Service
Member”, “Dear Warrior”, “Dear Veteran”, or create a greeting of your own, but please do not use “Dear
Soldier” or “Dear Marine” or “Dear Sailor” as those terms refer to membership in specific military
branches, and it can‘t be guaranteed that those letters will be placed in packages going to that service.
Two paragraphs or more would be nice. One or more paragraphs that express thanks for their service,
dedication, sacrifice, hard work, and/or time away from home. And one or more paragraphs about yourself,
your work, interesting stories, sports, music, movies, etc. Please avoid politics or controversial topics in your
letter. Every letter or card that is submitted is screened prior to being placed in a Care Package.
They also like to have newspaper comics and cartoons as well as Sudoko, Numbrix, etc., crossword puzzles
and other word games. Each Sunday try to remember to bring in the previous Sunday's comics. These can
go in the Operation Gratitude box in the Lounge, too.
If you have any questions about Operation Gratitude, Assembly Day, or letter writing, please see Lynn
Yoshizumi, 818-764-8803 or ryly63@att.net.

10. Reflections
Dr. Joey K. McDonald
When I was in graduate school it may surprise you to know, I was required to take courses on
writing and delivering sermons. My favorite professor, Dr. K. Morgan Edwards, was just as
serious as his name suggests. He was very tall and very tough. However, he had one axiom
which he repeated several times a semester. “Grace must be the dominant note in every
sermon.”
In each class we had what was called peer evaluation. We would preach before our professor
and colleagues, then be told the strengths and weaknesses of our presentation. It was a one
page evaluation the approximate area of a flat king size bed sheet. This lovely document
contained every type of critique, from the way one was dressed, where I felt fairly confident,
to the making of eye contact, not so greatly assured there. The one section which I loathed
was called prophetic preaching. I had two colleagues whom I shall call John and Ben because
they are so named. These fine brothers in the cloth each time I would preach would
seemingly take knives to filet me for my so called lack of prophetic. I always felt cut up and
perhaps a bit put down by the process, but I learned something valuable. Namely that I am
not a prophet. I am a pastor and even in a difficult text I am drawn to the word of grace even
if it is down to a phrase or even a single word. Jeremiah 4: 11-12, 22-28 is such a text.
Here the prophet delivers an oracle from God. This is one of those so called scorched earth
policy speeches where the words are so direct as to hurt. The people are told that their
unfaithfulness has caused God to turn from them. So harsh will be their judgment that even
the birds will leave the place they inhabit. Yet there in verse twenty-seven is a place to hang
my hat. “But I will not make a full end.” Verse twenty-eight makes plain this is not a reprieve
but more a glimmer of hope. “I have purposed; I have not relented nor will I turn back.”
Even in hard edged prophesy there is a grace present. The work of a prophet is to remind us
that as people of faith we are accountable to our God. Ah, but grace is just one word away.
Reflections are part of the weekly bulletin inserts for worship. This writing is originally from September 12, 2010.
Dr. McDonald’s message was based on Jeremiah 4:11-12, 22-28 and the sermon title was “Prophetic Purpose.”
