The document provides details about the walls and gates of Jerusalem from the book of Nehemiah in the Bible. It discusses 10 gates that were rebuilt, including the Sheep Gate, Fish Gate, and Old Gate. It also provides historical context on Jerusalem and the Temple, and discusses the spiritual significance of rebuilding the walls as restoring true doctrine and worship. Nehemiah's example of rebuilding through prayer and unity is given as a model to follow to overcome obstacles and complete important spiritual works.
The document discusses the Holy Spirit as the third member of the Godhead or Trinity. It provides biblical evidence that the Holy Spirit is a distinct personality and not just a force or influence. Several passages are cited showing the Holy Spirit engages in personal actions like teaching, commanding, and suffering insults. In summary, the Holy Spirit is presented as an individual with will, emotions, and reason who accomplishes God's work through speaking God's word.
We know the dictionary definition of worship (a feeling, or devotion to a deity), and we have read John 4:24, "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth"; but, what does the Bible teach us about the subject of worship? This is a series of lessons that gets to the heart of worship and what it really means for Christians.

This document provides information about a learning to prophesy seminar happening that evening from 7-9pm. It begins by defining prophecy as speaking out the mind of God under divine inspiration. It then discusses what prophecy means according to the Bible and dictionaries, including that it involves edifying, exhorting, and comforting people as well as restoring God's image in them. The document emphasizes that prophecy comes from having God at the center of one's heart and being filled with His love, so that His love can then be poured out to others. It concludes by having attendees declare prophecies over each other based on Bible verses provided and encourages reading Isaiah 49:1-3 in preparation for sharing next week.
This document discusses the promise and fulfillment of the Holy Spirit according to scripture. It explains that all believers are sealed with the Holy Spirit upon believing, but being filled with the Spirit involves yielding control to allow Him to influence one's life. Being filled can be repeated as needed and is maintained by walking wisely in the Spirit through redeeming one's time for God, speaking to others, giving thanks, and submitting to others in fear of God. Constant filling requires sacrificing self-control and investing time in spiritual growth. The seven spirits of God - wisdom, understanding, counsel, might, knowledge, fear of the Lord, and the Spirit of the Lord - provide balance and strength when functioning in a believer's life.
Who is the Holy Spirit? Learn more, including the Gifts of the Holy Spirit and the Fruits of the Holy Spirit. Take up the challenge by Pope Francis by praying to the Holy Spirit.
This document discusses the development of human senses from an embryo to adulthood and compares it to the development of spiritual senses. It notes that each of the five physical senses - touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight - emerge at different points in fetal and infant development. It then explores how each spiritual sense - touch, taste, smell, hearing, and sight - relates to discerning spiritual truths and realities. The document emphasizes that regularly exercising our spiritual senses through reading Scripture, prayer, and obedience helps them to mature so we can better distinguish good from evil.
The book of Job records the story of Job, a righteous man who endured great suffering and loss. His three friends attempt to explain his situation, claiming it must be due to hidden sin. God later appears to Job and his friends, reminding them that God is sovereign and they cannot fully understand his purposes. The book encourages persevering in faith even during difficult times of suffering.
Nov 6 2016 - Sunday Message - Overcoming doubt and unbeliefCatherine Lirio
This document provides 9 ways to develop a strong faith that overcomes doubt and unbelief. They include regularly attending worship, reading Scripture daily, praying for strong faith, declaring God's words of faithfulness, renouncing lies, viewing trials as opportunities to strengthen faith, listening to faith-building messages, avoiding cynical influences, and encouraging others. The conclusion emphasizes that all things are possible with God.
Tomorrow we are starting a new series of study:
“The New Man” is a seminar that will focus on the spirit of man, its soul and its body.
We will learn the properties of each one of these three parts of man.
Our spirit is called to be the ruling part of us, actually, our spirit is the main part of our being, and is the place where the spirit of God dwells in.
We meet in Room #3 at CTF Toronto Wednesdays from 7:00 – 9:00 pm. I invite you to come and participate with us in this discovery of how to let our spirit become the ruler of our life.
The document discusses having faith during difficult times based on the biblical story of Jesus calming the storm. It notes that storms can come unexpectedly in life, like problems rising up suddenly. The disciples were afraid during the storm in the story, but Jesus remained calm and asleep, depicting how Christians should react to problems - making efforts to solve them but also praying and having faith that God is in control. Having faith means being sure of what we hope for even if we can't see it and knowing that no storm is too strong for God to handle. The document encourages having faith like Jesus during life's storms rather than giving in to fear.
Understanding Apostolic Covering and Prophetic StreamsButch Yulo
This document discusses the biblical concepts of apostolic covering and prophetic streams. It begins by reviewing that prophets are needed from the Old Testament through the New Testament. The objectives are to understand God's structure for the church, the roles of apostles and prophets, and prophetic streams. It cites Joel 2:28 and 1 Corinthians 14 to show that God will pour out His Spirit and people will prophesy. It then explores how God designed order and structure for the church through spiritual gifts. Apostles are mentioned as the foundational gift and prophets are also included. The document asserts that apostles and prophets are still active today based on Ephesians 4 and the ascension gifts of Christ. It provides biblical evidence
This document tells a story about a man who was calling out to God but failing to recognize how God was responding. God spoke to the man through a singing bird, thunder, a shining star, and the birth of the man's son, but each time the man did not listen or understand. Finally, God touched the man's cheek with a butterfly, but the man brushed it away without comprehending. The moral is that God speaks to us in many ways, but we must have open senses to recognize His communications.
The document discusses the differences between managers and leaders, using examples from biblical figures and management literature. It notes that while managers focus on planning, organizing, and controlling, leaders inspire and motivate. Nehemiah is presented as a model of "managerial leadership" who successfully rebuilt Jerusalem's walls in 52 days by dividing the large project into manageable tasks, addressing problems, and ensuring completion.
The document discusses the Holy Spirit from several perspectives in brief sections. It addresses who or what the Holy Spirit is, exploring the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit. It examines the work of the Holy Spirit through different ages, in the world, and in the church. It also discusses the baptism, unction, sealing and earnest of the Holy Spirit that believers now experience.
The document provides an overview of the Holy Bible, including what it is, who authored it, how it was handed down through history, its translations over time, and its divisions and books. It notes that the Bible is the book of God and contains 66 books divided into the Old and New Testaments. It discusses how the Bible was originally written on scrolls and then copied by hand before the invention of the printing press accelerated its distribution.
This document discusses the meaning and importance of God's faithfulness. It begins by asking the reader if they are faithful to God, their family, others, their ministry, and church. It then provides several Bible verses demonstrating that God is faithful, including that He will not abandon His people. The document argues that God is faithful to maintain His glory, truthfulness, and reputation. It explains that God faithfully keeps His covenants and shows mercy to those who love and obey Him. In conclusion, it encourages readers to commit to being faithful in all things, with the promise that if they do, God will bless them as He promised He would bless the Israelites.
This document discusses the seven spirits of God mentioned in Isaiah 11:2. It focuses on explaining the spirits of the Lord, wisdom, and understanding. It then provides definitions and biblical examples of the spirit of counsel, highlighting how counsel provides strategies, guidance, confirmation, and direction from God. The spirit of counsel is said to have instructed individuals like Isaac and Paul. Activating this spirit involves being connected to God rather than relying on other people's counsel and having faith even when God's counsel seems illogical. The next session will cover the spirit of might.
Matthew: The King and His Kingdom: Mt. 4.12 25Stephen Palm
After John the Baptist’s arrest, Jesus withdraws from Nazareth and travels north to Capernaum. This is all took place to fulfil what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, the people dwelling in darkness have seen a great light, and for those dwelling in the region and shadow of death, on them a light has dawned (v. 16). The true light that shines in this dark world and defeats death is Jesus Christ and those who follow him will never be in darkness (Jn. 8:12). His message of light begins with these words repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand (v. 17). It is here that the King begins to offer the kingdom to the lost sheep of the house of Israel (Matt. 10: 6 -7). However, Jesus will not offer it alone. He initially calls four men who leave everything behind to follow him, so that they can be fishers of men (v. 19). The principle for us is that Jesus calls us from the comforts of our own lives to follow him. To prove he is Israel’s Messiah and demonstrate his deity, Jesus begins to heal the afflicted and cast out demons. This draws great crowds to Christ from all the regions around him, so that the message of salvation can be proclaimed.
The Book of Samuel is a book in the Hebrew Bible, found as two books in the Old Testament. The book is part of the Deuteronomistic history, a series of books that constitute a theological history of the Israelites and that aim to explain God's law for Israel under the guidance of the prophets.
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.
