This document discusses the identity of Christians and what God says is true about them. It states that because of Christ's rescue, Christians are new creations of infinite worth who are deeply loved, completely forgiven, fully pleasing, and totally accepted by God. It also says that nothing can make God love Christians more or less. The document encourages accepting what God says as truth and living it daily, rather than believing lies about one's identity being based on performance or others' opinions.
Based on Respectable Sins by Jerry Bridges, this lesson deals with the power of the Holy Spirit and how it is expressed in our lives. The Holy Spirit convicts us of sin, empowers us to deal with sin by putting it to death in our lives, and works on His own to make us more like Christ. The principle of dependent responsibility is an interesting one and is discussed here as well.
The document discusses how genuine faith is authenticated. It is not merely intellectual belief but must be demonstrated through compassionate actions. True faith transforms lives and results in obedience to God's word. Faith is validated by its practical effects, not just by claiming to know God or have faith without living according to His teachings. The kingdom of heaven grows gradually from small beginnings, as Jesus explained with the parable of the mustard seed.
This document discusses the theme of compassion in religions. It defines compassion as suffering with others in their brokenness and giving life through compassionate love. True compassion is respectful, understanding, accepting and forgiving of others. Religions call people to be compassionate through examples like Jesus calling his disciples to compassion and treating others as God treats people with compassion. To be truly compassionate requires entering into others' pain and remaining with them, forgiving faults, and recreating the broken.
God's love is eternal and unconditional. Several Bible verses affirm that God loves humanity with an everlasting love that is compassionate, gracious, and slow to anger. God demonstrated his love most clearly through sending Jesus Christ to die for humanity while we were still sinners. When the Gospel is preached in partnership with the Holy Spirit, as seen in Acts, thousands can be saved and lives transformed through healings and conversions as the Spirit guides and empowers the Church. We should seek the Spirit's guidance with obedient hearts as such a partnership is essential for the Church.

When this was disrupted by evil, Jesus came to restore love, peace and bring people back to God.

Integrity is defined as adherence to moral and ethical principles and honesty. It involves doing the right thing even when no one is watching. As Christians, our morals come from the teachings of Jesus Christ in the Bible.

People do not need to change their religious beliefs to ask angels for guidance on their spiritual path.

In the Gospel of John, we are told that Andrew met Jesus, with that burning zeal went and found his brother Simon Peter and brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, "You are Simon son of John, but you shall be called Cephas". What did Jesus saw in Peter? What does Jesus sees in you today? How does one keep the flame alive? In what ways do I share or give testimony of the love of Jesus to others? As leaders, we are to seek Him, receive Him, know Him, love Him, serve Him and be like Him, you know….. it’s all about Jesus.
This document discusses lies and untruths that can negatively impact our thinking and behavior if believed.

The document advises that untangling lies from our core beliefs and thought patterns can help us protect against manipulation and experience greater stability. It encourages facing the feelings and beliefs behind our vulnerabilities ("UBFs" or bruises of the heart) in order to overcome habitual reactions and find freedom.
Paul defends the unity of the church by challenging the Galatians to embrace servanthood rather than selfishness. He compares the "works of the flesh" like hostility, jealousy, and drunkenness to the "fruit of the spirit" like love, joy, and peace.

This document provides a summary of Lesson 12 from a Bible study series. It covers key passages from Galatians chapter 5 about walking by the Spirit versus fulfilling the desires of the flesh. Some main points discussed include the conflict between the flesh and Spirit, the works of the flesh versus the fruit of the Spirit, and how believers should live according to the Spirit by letting it lead them and crucifying their fleshly nature.

This passage from Ephesians describes the helpless and hopeless state that all humanity exists in due to sin, being spiritually dead and subject to God's wrath. It explains that God, in his great love and mercy, made believers alive through Christ by his grace, rather than by any good works or merits of their own. All the credit for salvation belongs to God alone. Those who have faith in Christ have been saved, given new spiritual life, and created by God to do good works for his purposes.
This document discusses humanity's original relationship with God, the fall from that relationship, and redemption through Christ. It describes how in creation, God was meant to be the source of life, authority, and judge, while humanity was to depend on, obey, and experience God. The fall reversed these roles as humanity tried to be independent and in control. Christ came to redeem humanity and restore the proper roles, with God as source and authority and humanity dependent on and obedient to God. Redemption involves returning to God as source, to right relationships, and to the proper roles assigned by God.
This lesson from Galatians 5:13-26 discusses the fruit of the Spirit, how the Spirit enables us to fulfill the law of love, to overcome the flesh, and to produce fruit. The works of the flesh and the fruit of the Spirit are contrasted to show the freedom we have in Christ

how to get lasting change in your life SNL1drkcope
This document discusses how to achieve lasting change in one's life. It asserts that lasting change requires coming to terms with the truth about oneself, God's purpose, and what God wants in relationships. Lasting change is more than just a wish or desire - it requires personal decision making and choosing the right path each day. It also requires replacing negative habits and sins by adopting a new way of thinking about oneself. The document emphasizes that lasting change relies on "Godpower" rather than willpower alone, and allowing God to replace bad habits with qualities like love, joy, and self-control. It also stresses the importance of honesty with trusted friends, as some habits are too ingrained to overcome alone.

The document discusses the concept of being thankful as more than just an attitude - it is a spiritual power or force. It says being thankful releases light and power that reaches God's throne and opens spiritual supply lines. Not being thankful cuts off these supplies. It also says different attitudes like complaining or bitterness radiate as discernible powers or colors that can envelop a person. The key message is that cultivating an attitude of thankfulness clothes a person in positive spiritual light and power that multiplies blessings, while negative attitudes do the opposite.

This document discusses addiction and how to overcome it. It defines addiction as being enslaved to a habit or activity to the point that stopping causes harm. Common addictions include alcohol, smoking, drugs, gambling, food, internet, and more. Addiction offers short term relief but long term problems. To overcome addiction, one must repent and turn to God, find an accountability partner, and fight for freedom through weapons like obedience to God, trusting his word, and persistent prayer. With Jesus Christ, addiction can turn into satisfaction as the Holy Spirit helps overcome sins. True freedom from addiction only comes through God.
Session 9 Overcoming through Intercessory Prayer 7 m Culture Shapers MasterClassOs Hillman
This document provides an overview of a master class on overcoming through intercessory prayer and community transformation. Some key points:
1) Intercessory prayer is spiritual warfare against principalities and powers, as we wrestle not against flesh and blood.
2) Man plays a key role in fulfilling God's plan and will on earth, and God has given authority and responsibility to mankind through Jesus.
3) Effective intercession requires understanding our roles and responsibilities as both kings and priests, working in the inner court through spiritual warfare and the outer court through our public callings.
4) Transforming communities requires apostolic leadership, intercessors, and marketplace leaders working together in spiritual authority through prayer
Negative passion can lead people astray through uncontrolled appetites, pride, and putting self before others. While mistakes due to negative passion leave scars, God uses the desert experiences to strengthen people. Even though questions remain about suffering, God's mercy, glory, love, and passion for his people provide strength to overcome challenges. Maintaining an intimate relationship with God through passion and trust in him enables overcoming problems.

This document summarizes a passage from the book of John describing Jesus healing a man on the Sabbath. It describes how Jesus heals a man who had been ill for 38 years at the pool of Bethesda. Religious leaders criticize Jesus for violating the Sabbath by commanding the man to carry his mat. The document contrasts the "letter of the law" approach of the religious leaders with Jesus' embodiment of the "spirit of the law" in showing compassion.
At a wedding in Cana, Galilee, Jesus performs his first miracle when called upon by his mother Mary. The wedding hosts had run out of wine for their guests. Jesus instructs the servants to fill large stone jars with water, and then turns the water into wine. The master of ceremonies is surprised by the high quality of the wine, not realizing it was Jesus who provided it. This miracle revealed Jesus' divine glory and his disciples put their faith in him.
The document references John 1:16 which discusses how Jesus Christ, who preceded Moses, provided grace upon grace through his fullness. It notes how Jesus provides endless giving grace according to this verse. It also briefly mentions how the early church practiced generosity, how Methodists sing about generosity, and how emperors railed against generosity.
This document lists several items that will be part of a family carol service for 2019, including astronomical bodies like the universe, moon, sun and Proxima Centauri as well as religious symbols like the cross and empty tomb and a children's character Postman Pat.
The document discusses lessons that can be learned from Mary, Joseph, the shepherds, and the Magi in the Christmas story. It says that Mary teaches that God values the young and women, and can handle questions. Joseph teaches that God values ordinary people and knows faith is difficult. The shepherds teach not to let theology blind us to God's surprises and it takes faith to recognize the king. The Magi teach that the Kingdom is for everyone everywhere and God is greater than expected. The Kingdom of Heaven is described as surprising, nonsensical, and where normal expectations are turned upside down.
Jesus teaches that his return will be like an unexpected event that everyone should be prepared for at all times through faithful service, witnessing to others, and living holy lives. Though the timing is unknown, Christians must persevere and be ready for Christ's glorious and visible return while continuing their witness and service to others.
Nigel White joined us to finish our series "Paul: The Road to Rome" as he arrives at his destination. He spoke from Acts 28:11-31, "Good News in the heart of the Empire"
The document discusses maintaining faith in God's control during difficult times by using wisdom, taking practical steps to care for oneself, focusing on positives, and not being surprised by worsening situations, as one can find peace through keeping faith that Christ is present even in storms.
We took a break from our series on Abraham to celebrate Ability Sunday (a week early!) - it's all about inclusion, especially for those in our community with disabilities. Doug Preston spoke from Psalm 139
God made a covenant with Abram, promising that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the grains of sand. Although Abram had no children at the time, he believed God's promise. God credited Abram's faith as righteousness, expressing his grace rather than Abram's worthiness. The covenant established Abram's right standing with God through faith, foreshadowing the new covenant established by Jesus's blood which invites people to enter into relationship with God by trusting in his promises.
Roberto Troiolo from the Gideons joined us to share about their work and from Acts 19:23-41, "How to cause a riot", continuing our series on "Paul: a man with a mission".

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).
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.
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.

taittreya upanishad - tradition of yoga and Upanishads, this concept of panch...Karuna Yoga Vidya Peetham
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.
Thus annamaya kosha is the physical frame which the grossest of the five Koshas.

chakra yoga
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.
2. HOW WE ONCE LIVED AND HOW
WE NOW LIVE
A conflict, a tension.
For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit,
and the Spirit was is contrary to the sinful nature. They
are in conflict with each other, so that you do not know
what you want. (Verse 17)
3. THE LAW CANNOT CONTROL
OR CHANGE OUR OLD
NATURE
It is not law on the outside but love on the inside.
Not simply a divine influence but a Divine Person
We cannot simply will to overcome the flesh.
4. THE SOLUTION
Not to pit the will against the flesh but to
surrender our will to the Spirit.
What you feed grows; what you starve dies.
Do not dwell on the seeds that Satan sows but
feed on the Word of God.
6. I HAVE SINNED – AM I THEN
DISQUALIFIED FROM ENTERING
THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
7. I HAVE SINNED – AM I THEN
DISQUALIFIED FROM ENTERING
THE KINGDOM OF GOD?
Those who LIVE like this will not enter the Kingdom of
God.
Those who PRACTICE these things.
Not an act of sin but a habit of sin.
8. THE FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT
Fruit grows out of life not out of works – the life of the
Spirit within.
Work has to do with effort, labour, strain and toil.
Fruit has to do with love, joy, peace, patience, goodness,
faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
The beautiful graces of the Holy Spirit in our lives.
9. THE BEAUTIFUL GRACES OF THE
HOLY SPIRIT IN OUR LIVES.
Changing us from glory to glory into the likeness of Jesus!
The legalist might be able to boast that he is not guilty of
adultery or murder – but can anyone see the beautiful
graces of the Holy Spirit in his life?
10. SIMEON – LUKE 2: 25-32
Verse 25 Righteous, devout and waiting.
Verse 25 The Holy Spirit was upon him.
Verse 26 The Holy Spirit revealed to him.
Verse 27 The Holy Spirit moved him.
Verses 29-32 He
received a revelation and spoke a prophecy.
11. EXODUS 33:16
“What else will distinguish me and your people from all
the other people on the face of the earth?”
12. EXODUS 33:16
“What else will distinguish me and your people from all
the other people on the face of the earth?”
If you presence does not go with us, do not send us up
from here because what else will distinguish me and your
people from all the other people on the face of the earth?
