The document discusses Paul's view of himself as a "publisher" of God's living letters, with Christians being the letters. It says that Christ himself writes on human lives through God's living Spirit, not with ink on stone tablets. It defines Christian formation as enjoying God so much that one desires to please Him and be like Him, showing others what He is truly like. It discusses how the Spirit, not religious rules, should guide Christian formation by transforming lives from within.

Message – we love our volunteers – sunday 02 14 16
This document discusses the concept of serving as defined by Jesus. It notes that Jesus measured greatness by how much one serves others, not by status or power. The document encourages readers to use their spiritual gifts and freedom to serve others out of gratitude, obedience, and compassion. It warns that believers will one day have to account to God for how well they served others with their lives. Therefore, readers are encouraged to commit to serving as it is both a privilege and responsibility.
Kaleo
We are called to care for others as Christ cared for us. This means caring for those in need, both physical and spiritual needs. It also means having compassion like Jesus, which may require interrupting our schedules or spending resources to help others. When we get close to Jesus through following His example of compassion, we will naturally care about and for others as He did. The church should be known as a place where people genuinely care for one another.
Year of faith intercessions
The document discusses the importance of intercessory prayer and living out one's faith through witness and love for others. It emphasizes that faith is a gift from God that transforms us inwardly and allows us to see the truth of God's word. Christians are called to keep their gaze fixed on Jesus Christ and radiate his love to all they meet.
Colossians Class - Alive In Christ
The document discusses Paul's letter to the Colossian Christians. It examines what it means to be a Christian through challenging questions about whether actions define faith or faith defines actions. Paul became a minister to fully share God's word and help Christians prioritize heavenly things over earthly desires, as believers are called to seek the things of God.
God’s definition of a saint and their future
God defines saints as faithful followers of God through Jesus Christ who are beloved by God, called and sanctified. Their destiny according to scripture is to inherit God's kingdom, judge the world, and receive God's words. This leaves believers called to earnestly contend for the faith delivered to the saints and keep God's commandments as the saints did, with the promise of inheriting God's kingdom.
Prelate Letter Year of Faith
The Bishop-Prelate issued a letter for the Year of Faith discussing several topics:
1) The need for a new evangelization and returning to the roots of the Gospel.
2) Priority areas of apostolate including research/teaching, faith/reason, public morality, and family.
3) Knowing and professing our faith through doctrinal formation and union with Christ in prayer and penance.
4) The duty to do apostolate and concluding remarks.

Self-Esteem or Christ Esteem?
What does the Bible say about "self-esteem"? In this presentation, you will learn a biblical view of God, others, and how to view ourselves.
Research Paper Presentation
This powerpoint is my presentation that I demonstrated on my ten page, research paper in Political Philosophy course in the fall of 2010 at Evangel University.
Thesis on the rapture
The document discusses the state of departed Christians after death. It makes three key points:
1) Departed Christians are already with the Lord in heaven in glorified bodies, not awaiting the future return of Christ.
2) The idea that glorified bodies are still to come is not supported by Scripture. When it refers to the dead rising, it means persons, not bodies alone.
3) According to passages like 1 Corinthians 15 and 2 Corinthians 5, when believers die their souls are made alive in heaven with new glorified spiritual bodies, not naked souls. They will appear from heaven, not the grave, when Christ returns.
Bright Pebbles: God in Us
The document discusses how Christians are temples of God and his Spirit lives within them. It emphasizes that believers should take care of their bodies and act with kindness and courtesy so that their words and actions reflect Jesus' love to others and show them a clean picture of Jesus. Christians are called to reflect Jesus to the world through how they live.
Two Lenten Meditations for Vincentians
1) The document discusses two Lenten meditations that are important in the Vincentian tradition: meditating on the crucified Lord and meditating on the crucified Lord in the suffering of peoples.
2) It emphasizes that contemplating the crucified Lord should not be merely pious, but should lead us to serve the Lord in those who suffer today.
3) St. Vincent de Paul recognized Christ in the suffering and mobilized others to serve them, gathering both rich and poor to aid those most in need.
Finding Jesus
The document discusses finding Christ and where he can be found based on biblical passages. It suggests that Christ can be found in places of worship like the temple and synagogue, as that is where Jesus spent time. It also notes that Christ can be found through individual conversations, as seen through his discussion with the Samaritan woman at the well, which led that town to find Christ. Finding Christ is important as he is the way, truth and life, and the son of God.

Is lordship salvation biblical
The document discusses the debate around "lordship salvation", or the view that true salvation requires accepting Jesus as both Savior and Lord. Those who believe in lordship salvation argue that genuine faith will produce spiritual fruit and turning from sin. Others reject this, believing that continuing in sin does not disprove saving faith. The key is one's attitude toward sin. True salvation involves a cost - dying to oneself and surrendering to Christ's lordship through repentance from sin. Nothing less than this implicit obedience can qualify as saving faith.

Transforming worship, october 30, 2011
The document discusses the content and structure of worship based on biblical passages. It defines worship as signifying God's presence and participation in God's mission of deliverance and restoration. Creative expression in worship should reflect God's own creativity in creation. Christian artists can bring about new creation by seeing themselves as continuing God's work. Evaluating worship involves assessing if it deepens experience of God's presence, remembers the Trinity, strengthens covenant relationship, and invites participation in God's mission.
Media Culture and Holiness
This document discusses spirituality and how it relates to media culture and Jesus' hidden life in Nazareth. It asks whether we can find God in today's media, and if Jesus found God in the culture of his day through parables and life at home. The document reflects on bringing us to Jesus' home, the conversation and stories there, and how holiness is manifested. It discusses communication between God and humans, and how spirituality has been adopted by new age and other religious movements in a way that is not the Christian journey.
Bright Pebbles: A Reflection of Jesus
When someone receives Jesus into their heart, it is like Jesus comes into their life and makes them a new, better person, just as a broken toy can be fixed. While the person may look the same outwardly, Jesus changes their heart. By learning to do things as Jesus teaches, treat others as He would, and reflect Him in what they say and do, the person grows in kindness, thoughtfulness, and joy, and others can see the love of Jesus shining through them, just as light bounces off a mirror.
Ppc teaching bibleskeptics
This document provides guidance on how to teach Bible skeptics about Jesus by examining the Bible as an historical document and testing the evidence for the resurrection. It notes that many have rejected the Bible and outlines common objections skeptics raise. It then recommends focusing on the historical accuracy and detail in the New Testament, pointing to examples like references to political and religious leaders that have been confirmed. The document stresses that faith is based on evidence and challenges skeptics to test this evidence, especially the eyewitness testimony and historical accuracy surrounding the resurrection. It presents the case that Jesus was truly dead, buried in a secure tomb, and the tomb was later found empty with no other plausible explanation.
What denominationalismcouldneverdo
This document discusses denominationalism and what it can never do according to scripture. It summarizes that denominationalism can never find biblical authority for its existence, trace its existence back to the first century church established by Christ, or prove that it is the body of Christ. It asserts that denominations teach ways to be saved such as saying a sinner's prayer that are not supported by scripture, which teaches that one must believe, repent, confess, and be baptized to be saved.
Sync meeting
This document summarizes a meeting about the Foundational Root project. It discusses that wisdom comes from deep understanding and the ability to make good judgments. Wisdom is knowledgeable about principles and situations. Theology must come from the Bible and consider different views together. Worship is a God-centered lifestyle, not just activities. The church is a community where God is present and His work is done, not defined by location. Miracles are God's will made possible through faith and action. The project will focus on outreach, spiritual growth, and equipping others through various activities and online resources. Servants commit to their roles and attending most scheduled meetings each year.
1 Co 15 - Firm Foundation
Christ's resurrection from the dead proves that the foundations of Scripture, faith, hope, and life after death are solid. It establishes Scripture as truth, shows that faith in Christ is worthwhile and not in vain, gives hope of resurrection for believers, and proves that decay of the physical body does not mean the end as there is eternal life after death. The resurrection of Christ therefore serves as a firm foundation for building one's life.
Jesus christ the one perfect example
This document discusses Jesus Christ as the one perfect example for Christians to follow. It covers how Jesus showed courage yet humility, forgiving even while on the cross. He faithfully fulfilled His commitment to God the Father. The document asserts that through following Jesus's example, Christians can demonstrate strength in defending their beliefs, live humbly with forgiveness, and be faithful in their own commitments to God. All of Jesus's actions were to ultimately serve others according to God's will.

Vintage gbc 3.16.14

It calls Christians to serve others rather than prioritizing their own needs, following Jesus' example of humility and service. The document encourages readers to prayerfully discern how they can serve their church community.
Lessons from the Rich Young Ruler
This document contains information about an upcoming church service and lessons derived from the story of the rich young ruler in the Bible. It discusses how Jesus interacted with the ruler and lessons that can be learned about viewing Jesus as truly good, identifying one's god, and valuing eternal life over worldly possessions. The document concludes with God's plan of salvation.

Jesus was a letter
This is a study of Jesus being a letter written on the hearts of believers by the Holy Spirit. This makes all true believers the epistles of Christ.
Jesus was possessed of the spirit
The document discusses the Spirit of Christ and what it means to possess the Spirit of Christ according to a passage from Romans 8:9. It provides three key points:
1) The Spirit of Christ is the Holy Spirit that dwells within Christians, giving them new life and a connection to God. It is how Christians manifest the qualities of Jesus.
2) Possessing the Spirit of Christ is demonstrated through having the character and qualities of Jesus, such as gentleness, love, and strength kept in check.
3) Specific qualities of the Spirit of Christ discussed include gentleness as power in reserve, strength shown through composure and patience, and being influenced by examples of concord rather than discord.
Appearances Can be Deceiving
1) The document discusses a famous violinist, Joshua Bell, who performed anonymously in a Washington D.C. subway station. Despite his immense talent, playing a $3.5 million violin, he received only $32 in donations from 27 of the over 1000 commuters who passed by.
2) The pastor draws parallels between this story and Christianity. Just as commuters ignored Bell's beautiful music, Christians can overlook or superficially regard Christ. The pastor urges listening deeply to Christ rather than adding other requirements to salvation or regarding others and Christ only by outward appearances.
3) Good theology, understanding Christ as fully sufficient for salvation, leads to good worship, while poor theology distorts the gospel
Sacrament
The document discusses the Catholic understanding of sacraments and sacramentals. It defines sacraments as outward signs instituted by Christ to give grace, and says they are of Christ, the Church, faith, salvation, and eternal life. Sacramentals are also signs that bear similarity to sacraments and dispose people to receive sacramental graces. The document explores the sacraments and sacramentals through the teachings of Vatican II, Paul, Augustine, Aquinas and others, stating that signs are necessary for communicating spiritual realities and bonding religious communities.
The holy spirit and the blood of christ
This is a collection of writings that deal with the Holy Spirit as the agent by which Jesus offered his blood as a sacrifice for sin. He played a major role in our salvation and forgiveness,.

The Word of God: Revelation
The document discusses how God reveals himself to humanity through various means such as creation, history, prophets, Jesus Christ, the Church, and Sacred Scripture and Tradition. It explains that while human reason can prove God's existence, it cannot reveal who God is, so God communicates with humanity through revelation. The document explores the different avenues of God's self-revelation to allow humanity to know and have a relationship with him.

This document discusses the focus and inspiration of the Scriptures. It states that the Bible reveals God and humanity's predicament, and reveals Jesus as the solution who finds the lost and brings them back to God. It says Jesus is the central focus of Scripture, and that the cross ultimately reveals both human sinfulness and God's inexhaustible love. It describes the inspiration of Scripture as coming through the Holy Spirit, who communicated truth to writers while respecting their individuality, and says the Bible is historically reliable because of this divine guidance in its production.

This message is Part 5 of the series “The Heart Of LifePointe Church” by Pastor Chuck Bernal. In this message Pastor Chuck discusses the 10 values that define us and comprise the DNA of our church - The LifePointe Statements. The message was delivered at LifePointe Church on Sunday, August 28, 2016.
3. What is Foundational for Discipling Someone? Notes (A4)
The document provides guidance on foundational principles for discipling someone. It emphasizes establishing the "big picture" of salvation history with Jesus at the center. When discipling others, the initial focus should be on "being" rather than "doing" - helping them understand their new identity in Christ through the gospel. This establishes the proper motivation from a transformed heart before exhorting good works. Key tools for growth are engaging with the word of God, prayer, and fellowship within the church community.
DID JESUS DIE FOR OUR SINS? A UNITARIAN VIEW
Jesus did not die as a sacrifice for our sins or as part of a transaction between God and humanity. He died to awaken us to our innate connection to God and to live lives devoted to serving others. His perfected spiritual life allows him to share his wisdom and purity with humanity, helping lift us to a higher plane. Many holy figures throughout history have poured out their love and wisdom in this way. By opening ourselves to their influence, we can become reconciled to the divine and realize our own spiritual nature.
Jesus was the owner's mark
This is a study of Jesus being the owner's mark. You need the mark of Christ's Spirit to belong to Him.
The Cost of Following Jesus.pptx
God has a sovereign plan to display his glory through divine order. While God decrees both the ends and means, this does not diminish human responsibility. God works concurrently with his creatures to accomplish his will through their free decisions and actions according to their nature. Key passages like Romans 8-10 affirm both God's sovereignty in salvation and human responsibility. The compatibility of these two truths brings ultimate glory to God.
Frosh chapter 2 ppt w fonts
This document discusses several key issues around interpreting sacred scripture:
1) It addresses the questions of whether scripture means whatever individuals think/feel versus taking everything as absolute historical truth. It notes the importance of considering both the human and divine authors.
2) It emphasizes examining both the historical context around the human authors as well as the overall message, themes, and unity of the entire scripture.
3) Multiple literary and historical analysis methods are outlined to aid careful interpretation, such as form criticism, redaction criticism, and source criticism. The overall goal is to understand both the human authors' intentions as well as God's intended message.

Holy Choices - an Introduction to Ignatian Decision-making
This document discusses discerning God's plan for one's life through making choices. It presents five assumptions: 1) God is real and present, 2) God has a plan for each person's uniqueness, 3) God actively guides people, 4) People are capable of being God-guided, and 5) People's decisions impact God's work through them. It encourages examining deepest desires and feelings for clues to God's work, and outlines tools like discernment of consolations and desolations, and the Examen prayer for guidance. The overall message is that through releasing attachments, paying attention to promptings, and choosing among "competing goods," one can discern and follow God's will.
Holy Choices - Introduction to Ignatian Decision-Makinig
Bill Faris guides us into the fundamental concepts and practices of discerning God's plans and making decisions as informed by the teaching of Ignatius Loyola.
Three kinds of rest, part three
A brief examination of the concept of practicing rest, observing a sabbath, and setting apart a "temple in time" the imitates God's rhythm of rest in creation.
Three Kinds of Rest, Part Two
This time the focus is on the rest that comes from our surrender to God's rule and reign. It is a taste of the future when the Lord's authority will be comprehensive and all creation will be at rest.
Three Kinds of Rest, part one
The document discusses three kinds of rest, focusing on the "Rest of the Soul with God". It describes this rest as ceasing our efforts to be righteous through our own works and instead trusting fully in Christ's finished work. Quotes from scripture emphasize abandoning our own works and entering God's rest through faith. The experience of this rest is likened to a weaned child resting contentedly with its mother. Voices like Augustine, Amy Carmichael, and Chuck Swindoll are quoted speaking of finding rest, clarity, and exhaustion in God's presence through meditation and focusing on Him.
How We Worship - Praise and Worship - Part Two
The document discusses how Christians should approach worship. It says worship should be infused with love, gratitude, awe, and humility. Worshippers must have clean hands and a pure heart through confessing sins. The document encourages worshipping with confidence based on having access to God through Jesus and forgiveness of sins. It presents worship as an act of relationship and fellowship with God through our position as his children in Christ.
Why Worship?
In part one of Easter series we look at worship and why the proper worship of God REALLY matters!
Peak Experiences
The document discusses spiritual "peak experiences" and their importance in a spiritual life with God. It describes research from psychologists Abraham Maslow and Vincent Crapanzano on peak experiences like rapture and ecstasy. These experiences can impart a sense of the sacred and often involve manifestations of God's presence. They are also sometimes accompanied by a sense of calling or commissioning, as seen in biblical examples from Isaiah and D.L. Moody. While temporary, peak experiences can transform awareness and be foretastes of eternal glory.
Rooted in Hope
This document discusses rooting more deeply into hope through faith in God. It begins by quoting passages from Romans that discuss how through faith we are made right with God and given hope through the Holy Spirit. It then defines hope as an optimistic state of mind about desired future outcomes. The document contrasts easy hope, which is surface level, with hard hope, which requires deeper roots and patient effort. It encourages rooting into the fountain of hope that God has placed within believers, which gives a good future outlook even in difficult times. Drinking from this fountain of hope causes relaxation and seeing beyond present struggles.
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.
Finishing Well, Raising the Temperature of Your Relationship
This document discusses ways to warm the temperature of a marriage relationship. It suggests creating "warm emotional memories" (WEMs) through date nights, acts of service, gifts, quality time, and words of affirmation. These positive emotional memories can counteract any "negative emotional memories" (NEMs). The document provides examples of joyful, humorous, sexy, or unique WEMs and recommends speaking graciously, using eye contact and touch to affirm one's spouse. The overall goal is to strengthen emotional intimacy through generating fond shared experiences.
Finishing well!, part 3
This document discusses three types of forgiveness: garden variety offenses which should be forgiven 70 x 7 times; selected forgiveness for bigger offenses which may allow for reconciliation; and aggressive forgiveness which is a form of spiritual warfare. It provides guidance on processing smaller offenses with humor and empathy. For larger offenses, it recommends using the four "C"s of confrontation: compliment, confess, confront, commit. The goals of forgiveness are to glorify God, open doors for healing, and allow God to work in both people. Forgiveness does not condone wrongs but breaks unwanted bonds and paves the way for repair.
Finishing well, Parts 1 and 2
This document summarizes the first two sessions of a married couples retreat focused on finishing well.
Session one discusses creating a shared vision for a fruitful marriage grounded in God's word. It provides scriptural examples of fruitfulness and encourages couples to describe their vision simply, shareably, and in a way that is meaningful to them.
Session two discusses how crises can hinder or help couples in running long and finishing well. It defines marital crisis, provides common types, and outlines ineffective versus effective crisis management. The session emphasizes that God's plan is for couples to grow from crisis through joining together, facing facts, communicating, and increasing spiritual resources. It provides examples of potential growth and hindrances to growth.
Introduction to a Good Life With God
Psalm 1 contrasts two ways of life - the way of the wicked and the way of the righteous. The righteous person's life is like a tree planted by streams of water that yields fruit and has leaves that do not wither. Their life prospers. A good life with God includes fruitfulness, prosperity, rest, belonging to God's community, purpose and destiny, access to God's wisdom, a clean conscience, and shalom - total well-being and satisfaction in life. The source of a good life with God is God himself as our creator, shepherd, father and potter who shapes our lives.
Mark 6 - Prophets Disrupt
Mark depicts both Jesus and John the Baptist in their prophetic roles as those who disrupt and challenge the status quo. God is breaking in! His rule changes things. Mark shows us the impact of God's claims on the powerful and the weak.
Mark 5 - Jesus Changes Hopeless Cases
In this chapter we have three "hopeless" cases who, in different ways, encounter the hope of Jesus Christ. Their lives are changed forever - 'cause that's what Jesus does in bringing hope to the hopeless.
Mark 4 - Owning Spiritual Maturity
The document discusses the parable of the sower from the Bible, in which seeds sown by a sower produced different results depending on the type of soil. It says Jesus places responsibility on individuals for their differing spiritual results. It then discusses that no one is fully spiritually mature upon becoming Christian, and that individuals are responsible for their own spiritual growth through learning practices like prayer, Bible reading, worship, sharing their faith, and resisting sin. Spiritual maturity requires both knowing spiritual truths and putting them into practice.
Introduction to Mark
This introduction to Mark's gospel emphasizes the good news concerning the inbreaking Kingdom of God as announced and spearheaded by Messiah, Jesus. Signs and Wonders attend. The crucifixion and resurrection ensure. Go tell the Good News! It's time!
Confronting Our Idols
The first example of idolatry in the Bible was in Exodus 32 - The Golden Calf story. What can we take from this to help us better understand and confront our own spiritual anxieties?
Greatest miracle
What is the greatest miracle you have ever witnessed? There is not greater miracle than a change of heart and soul. Even the Believer must remain open and committed to "contining conversion". Zacchaeus reminds us of what conversion looks like - a total change in "operating system".

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.

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.The Significance of the Locust Army in Revelation 9

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.

THE IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS

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.

Living letters of the Spirit
- 2. 2 CORINTHIANS 3: 1 – 3 (MESSAGE) Does it sound like we’re patting ourselves on the back, insisting on our credentials, asserting our authority? Well, we’re not. Neither do we need letters of endorsement, either to you or from you. You yourselves are all the endorsement we need. Your very lives are a letter that anyone can read by just looking at you. Christ himself wrote it—not with ink, but with God’s living Spirit; not chiseled into stone, but carved into human lives—and we publish it.
- 3. CHRISTIAN FORMATION – BECOMING A “GOD-LETTER” TO THE WORLD! Paul see himself as a “Publisher of God’s Living Letters” (them!). PUBLISHER: He is not the author of their Christian formation. Christ is! “Christ Himself wrote it – not with ink, but with God’s living Spirit; not chiseled into stone but carved into human lives – and we publish it”. “You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.” (NIV)
- 4. YOU ARE A LETTER CHRIST IS WRITING “God’s Living Spirit” is expressing the Author’s intent “carved into human life” You are being acted upon. The Lord is seeking to express His creative genius through the way your life is changing. “Your very lives are a letter anyone can read just by looking at you”
- 5. CHRISTIAN FORMATION – A DEFINITION The process of enjoying God so thoroughly that we are continuously inspired to desire Him, please Him, be like Him, and show others what He is really like.
- 6. A LIVING LETTER – “LIFE ON LIFE” “Only God can write such a letter. His letter authorizes us to help carry out this new plan of action. The plan wasn’t written out with ink on paper, with pages and pages of legal footnotes, killing your spirit. It’s written with Spirit on spirit, his life on our lives!” (msg) “He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant— not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life”. (NIV) Spiritual authorities and teachers rightfully want to change our lives (changed lives are the proof that they have a true ministry). But the “how tos” of Christian formation have to do with Spirit- inspired human transformation and not man-made religious rule- following.
- 7. IF YOU WERE ON TRIAL FOR BEING A GROWING CHRISTIAN OVER THE PAST 12 – 24 MONTHS WHAT EVIDENCE WOULD BE USED TO “CONVICT” YOU?
