Spirits book, Chap I (part two) - spirit-worldAntonio Braga
1) Spirits are defined as intelligent beings that constitute the population of the universe, distinct from material forms. Spirits are the work of God and individualizations of the intelligent principle, though their origin is a mystery.
2) The world of spirits is a world apart from the material world that we see. It is pre-existent to and survives everything else. Spirits are everywhere in infinite numbers, though some regions are interdicted to less advanced spirits.
3) A spirit has a form that would appear as a flame, gleam, or ethereal spark to us. The perispirit is the spirit's semi-material envelope that it draws from the universal fluid of each
The Kingdom thinking or the Kingdom mind will change a christian's prayer, proclamation and perspective heavily and it makes self centered to God centered. Be Blessed!
We should want to go to heaven for three key reasons: 1) God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit will be there, as well as biblical heroes and children. 2) We will spend eternity praising God. 3) There will be no more sin, sorrow, or separation from loved ones like on earth. Heaven is described as a fair land that believers can see by faith.
This document explores what it means for humans to be created in the image and likeness of God, as described in Genesis 1:26. It references several Bible passages about humanity's creation from dust, God breathing life into humans, humans being lower than heavenly beings but having eternity in their hearts. The document examines the dual nature of humans as physical beings that die but also having immortal souls, and what it means for humans to gain the world but forfeit their souls. The overall message is to understand humanity's relationship to God by examining what the Bible says about being created in God's image.

This document summarizes Ecclesiastes 7:15-29 from a sermon by Dr. Rick Griffith. It contains 3 main points:
1. Wisdom is balanced, avoiding extremes of righteousness and sinfulness.
2. Wisdom is strong, avoiding weakness from being blind to one's own faults.
3. Wisdom is insightful, avoiding thinking one has all the answers but still showing insight. It notes wisdom is difficult to attain and that while people were created to be virtuous, they tend toward wickedness.
The document discusses choosing between serving God or money. It notes that Jesus teaches that one cannot serve both God and money, as they are competing masters. It then discusses how God created all things, including riches on Earth, but that humans have corrupted riches by using them for evil rather than glorifying God. It also discusses how Jesus redeemed humanity through his death on the cross by paying the debt of sin we could not pay. The conclusion emphasizes that we do not truly own anything and must surrender our whole hearts to God to avoid idolizing riches over God.
The document discusses how God works through the Word and Spirit. It explains that the Word contains interesting truths from history that help people understand God and God's design. Studying the Word is like water to a plant and allows people to understand salvation. The Spirit then destroys oppression and slavery through its anointing.

Trinity Kings World Leadership: The Mission and Vision of a LeaderTerrell Patillo
Isaiah 49:1-3New International Version (NIV)
The Servant of the Lord
49 Listen to me, you islands;
hear this, you distant nations:
Before I was born the Lord called me;
from my mother’s womb he has spoken my name.
2 He made my mouth like a sharpened sword,
in the shadow of his hand he hid me;
he made me into a polished arrow
and concealed me in his quiver.
3 He said to me, “You are my servant,
Israel, in whom I will display my splendor.”
The document discusses the power and abilities of God. It states that with God, all things are possible, and that believers have been sent to deal with demons and express dominion over them. Finally, it mentions that being born again connects people back to God and gives new possibilities through following the spirit rather than the mind.
Matthew: The King and His Kingdom_The Beatitudes_Mt. 5:1-12Stephen Palm
In Matthew chapters 5 – 7 we will explore the inexhaustible riches of Jesus teaching ministry. Much of what our Lord shares in this discourse has provided the moral framework of Western civilization for 2,000 years. Famed Theologian Francis Schaefer once wrote a book titled, ‘how should we then live?’ The sermon on the mount answers that single yet pivotal question. While this monumental teaching is directed at those who will be alive during the Kingdom Age (Rev. 20:1-10). The virtues Jesus describes in these 12 verses should be the characteristic of every Christ follower in this present age. In the first six verses we will explore what it means to have a right relationship with God, and in verses 7- 12 we will see what it looks like to have a right relationship with people (Source: The Moody Bible Commentary). Jesus leaves us with promise. The reward for our righteousness often does not come in this world, but as live out the gospel, let us remember we are storing up our reward in heaven (v. 12) that will be enjoyed in the presence of the lamb for all eternity.
This document outlines the topics covered in a 10-week study on eschatology or the doctrine of the last things. Week 8 focuses on the New Jerusalem, exploring what will be forgotten, restored, and remembered from our current lives as well as the size and nature of the New Jerusalem, whether we will recognize each other, and if there will be life outside the city. The study utilizes numerous Bible passages to shed light on these questions about what heaven and the new earth will be like.
Jesus teaches his disciples about the kingdom of heaven by describing eight characteristics of people who are blessed: the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, those who hunger for righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and those who are persecuted for righteousness. For each characteristic, Jesus states that those people will find blessing or reward in the kingdom of heaven. He establishes a new framework for following him focused not on ethical standards but on real life experiences and priorities.
This document discusses two attributes of God: impassibility and infinity. It defines impassibility as God being unable to undergo suffering or feel pain as a result of actions from others, as His feelings come from His eternal nature. Infinity means God is limitless in His being and without boundaries beyond the created universe. The document provides biblical support for both attributes and notes that denying impassibility or infinity of God would be unorthodox, as it would mean God could change depending on feelings or be limited in some way.
Integral Mission: What does the bible say about poor? Is God of the bible, God of the poor too? This PPT presents scripture that reveals the heart of God for the poor and also the consequences if not responded to...
1) God is immutable, meaning he does not change and cannot act contrary to his nature, as supported by several Bible verses.
2) God is eternal, but eternity does not mean endless time, as an infinite number of moments is impossible. Eternity means God is timeless.
3) God is impassible, meaning he cannot undergo suffering or be affected by his creation. His feelings come from his eternal nature rather than outside influences. Several Bible verses support this.
4) God is infinite, meaning without boundaries or limits. Denying God's impassibility or infinity is unorthodox.
You Must Be This Guy The Lord is Looking For! Do Something Lest...- Part 2Kennedy Liyai
This document discusses the need for righteous people to stand in the gap for their land and people when foundations have been destroyed. It references biblical figures like Enoch, Noah, and prophets who worked with God to carry out his plans. It emphasizes that anyone who opens their heart to Jesus in repentance becomes a co-worker with Christ. The document encourages the reader to invest in God's kingdom by giving their heart to Jesus, which guarantees eternal life. It suggests the reader consider whether they are the person God is looking for to stand in the gap for their people.
Genesis can be placed into six major contexts—Pre-creation, Creation (Gen 1-2); The Fall of man (Genesis 3-4); Noah through the Flood (Genesis 5-10); The Tower of Babel with the introduction of languages (Genesis 11:1-9); and The Patriarchal Era (Genesis 11:10-50). In each of these contexts—God, Man, Creation and World order are considered.
The book of Genesis begins by introducing God who existed before the Creation (Genesis 1:1). Genesis does not argue for the existence of God, rather it is written with the fundamental presupposition that before the world was created, God was––ie; “In the beginning God”.
Genesis also states that it was God who created the world (Genesis 1:1). The theological implication of (Genesis 1:1) is that God is self–existing with asiety, that He is eternal, that everything exists because He created it, and that He transcends Creation.
1. God's kindness is a lifeline for loving oneself, as shown through Naomi blessing Boaz for his kindness to her and Ruth. It is also the most important thing regarding what we think about God.
2. God's kindness is a lifeline for loving others, leading us to repentance and producing the fruit of the spirit like love, kindness, and patience in our relationships.
3. God's kindness extends as a lifeline for our world, as Boaz showed kindness to Ruth the foreigner, and Jesus was descended from Ruth, becoming the ultimate lifeline.
What are the themes of the book of Genesis?

The document contains several Bible verses from different days of the week:
- Sunday's verse describes God as forgiving, gracious, compassionate, slow to anger and abounding in love.
- Monday's verse advises to remain calm and not leave your post even if a ruler's anger rises against you, as calmness can resolve major issues.
- Wednesday's verse says that light shines in darkness but darkness cannot overcome it.
When all else around us seem to be failing. there is A New Option being made available behind the scenes. The Silversmith is looking for material fit for his craft, but dross should first be removed thoroughly for A New Option to emerge.
The document outlines eight traditional dispensational schemes for understanding the progress of God's revelation throughout history. It lists the eight dispensations as: 1) Innocence or Freedom, 2) Conscience, 3) Human Government, 4) Promise, 5) Law, 6) Grace, 7) Tribulation, and 8) Kingdom. For each dispensation, it provides brief descriptions and related Bible passages.
It is not good enough just to quit a bad habit but the now old bad habit must be replaced with a new and positive habit. Jesus explains this principle in Matthew 12:43-45.

Micah lived at the same time as Isaiah and best known for his prophecy that the Messiah would be born in Bethlehem. This prophecy is sandwiched in the middle of prophecies about the coming judgment. Micah's prophecies initiated a great revival of faith under King Hezekiah. Micah tells us what the Lord requires of all people to receive His mercy.
The document discusses the importance of self-control and faithfulness. It defines self-control as the ability to restrain oneself and gives examples of exercising self-control in one's physical body by avoiding gluttony, laziness, and sexual immorality. It also discusses controlling one's mind, emotions, and thoughts. The document stresses that we must be faithful like God is faithful to us and use the talents he has given us, rather than hiding them out of fear like the unfaithful servant.
Jesus saw each person as valuable and unique, treating everyone with special care and not despising anyone. He brought down barriers by seeing others with God's sympathy. His mission was to bring salvation to all people, including those in Samaria. We can learn from Jesus' example and from Andrew to build affectionate relationships with others in order to introduce them to Jesus. We should see others as potential citizens of God's kingdom and treat them accordingly.
The document provides an overview of Jesus' parables from the Bible. It defines a parable as a short story that teaches a moral or spiritual lesson. Jesus often used parables as a teaching tool to convey important messages about the kingdom of God in an engaging way. The document examines several of Jesus' famous parables, including the parables of the sower, the Good Samaritan, and the workers in the vineyard. It analyzes the key characters, settings, and messages within each parable.

The document discusses teachings from The New Revelation about laziness and sexual sins. It warns against laziness, which can lead to neglecting spiritual education and opening the door for evil spirits. It also warns against fleshly desires and lust, which are among humanity's greatest evils and can damage souls. Specific teachings include not engaging in sexual activity before ages 24 for men and 17-18 for women, in order to protect innocence and health. Harlotry is strongly condemned.

Spirits book, Chap III gospel ac. spiritism - Chap III (the creation of many ...Antonio Braga
This document discusses the plurality of worlds and the progression of inhabited worlds. It explains that there are different categories of inhabited worlds - primitive, trial/expiation, regenerative, happy, and heavenly worlds. Worlds progress through these categories as spirits evolve. The document suggests that humans currently reside in trial/expiation worlds and aims to progress to regenerative or happy worlds through spiritual work. It references a quote from Jesus about there being many mansions in God's house, meaning many inhabited worlds in the universe where spirits can reside at different stages of development.
The document discusses the key messages of Jesus and Paul regarding the "good news." [1] Jesus proclaimed the good news as the kingdom of God. [2] Paul called the good news the gospel of Jesus Christ and the message of salvation. [3] The document explores what the kingdom of God means, using examples from the Bible like the parable of the sower and passages from Daniel that reference God's eternal kingdom.
The document discusses the importance of leaders using their time wisely. It notes that the quality of a person's leadership will be measured by their use of time. Leaders must be careful with time by prioritizing the most important tasks and selecting what is essential to accomplish each day. Examples are given of influential figures from history and the Bible who maximized their time well, despite obstacles. The document encourages evaluating one's own time usage and making adjustments to ensure time is being used to accomplish God's purposes.
Message series awakening - part 1 - awakening to longing - pastor chuck ber...LifePointe Church
This message is Part 1 in the message series “AWAKENING” by Pastor Chuck Bernal. In this message titled, “Awakening To Longing”, Pastor Chuck talks the emptiness we feel in our lives and how we looks to pleasure, possessions and people - but they can never bring ultimate satisfaction because they are temporary in nature. Using the stories of Solomon and the Prodigal Son, he discusses the fact that each of us has a "God-shaped" hole which only God can fill - and that is where we will find our ultimate satisfaction and meaning in life.
This message was delivered at LifePointe Church in Crowley, TX on Sunday, April 23, 2017.
Sun Myung Moon taught that people should live for others rather than themselves. He said this is in line with Jesus' teaching to love your neighbor as yourself. According to Moon, living for others is the path to becoming the owner of love and entering the heavenly kingdom. Several prophets, including Anthony Brooke and Shan Bolz, received revelations about Moon's role and Korea's importance in God's providential plans.
Spurgeon, “One of the most notable of the sacred hymns. It sings the omniscience and omnipresence of God, inferring from these the overthrow of the powers of wickedness, since he who sees and hears the abominable deeds and words of the rebellious will surely deal with them according to his justice. The brightness of this Psalm is like unto a sapphire stone, or Ezekiel's "terrible crystal"; it flames out with such flashes of light as to turn night into day. Like a Pharos, this holy song casts a clear light even to the uttermost parts of the sea, and warns its against that
practical atheism which ignores the presence of God, and so makes shipwreck of the soul.
The document is a presentation on the parable of the hidden treasure from Matthew 13:44. It discusses how the parable refers to discovering wealth that was hidden. It defines key terms like parable and treasure. It provides background cultural context for hiding wealth in that time period. The main focus is on discovery - discovering one's purpose, potential, and the treasure within oneself. The challenge is to recognize the treasure within and be willing to pay the price to develop it fully for impact in the world.

This document discusses the importance of understanding one's purpose. It provides examples of how everything has a purpose, from door mats to people. Not knowing one's purpose can lead one to waste their talents and gifts. The document urges readers to determine their purpose so they can fulfill their potential and live meaningfully. It draws on biblical examples like Jonah and Moses to illustrate how understanding one's purpose is essential to achieving God's plans. The overall message is that people should seek to understand their reason for existence in order to live purposefully and make the most of their time on Earth.
This document discusses raising modern-day knights in the kingdom of God by examining the ideals and code of conduct of medieval knights. It outlines three key expectations of knights: 1) A will to obey God and his commandments above all else. 2) A work to do in serving God's kingdom by reconciling people to him. 3) A woman to love by honoring and respecting one's wife as Christ loves the church. The code of conduct for knights included being loyal, courageous, generous, and winning the love of women in need. The document encourages men to model these virtues by obeying God, using their work and resources to advance his kingdom, and honoring their wives.
The document provides commentary and discussion on Old Testament passages from Deuteronomy and 2 Samuel. It discusses the importance of remembering God's commandments and not forgetting Him. It encourages filling one's home with reminders of gospel principles through artwork, books, and music. Failing to do so could lead to spiritual consequences like perishing from sin.
Potential is one's latent abilities and capacity for growth or advancement. This presentation aimed to define potential and discuss how it can be discovered. It was explained that every person has inherent potential given by God, but it must be discovered through seeking God as the source, self-analysis, studying scripture, and stewarding what talents one currently has. The presentation concluded by emphasizing that each individual is a gift to their generation and should seek to find their true abilities.

The document discusses what community means, providing definitions that emphasize open communication, deep relationships, commitment to each other, and inclusion regardless of backgrounds. It also examines key words from Greek and Hebrew used in the Bible to describe community, particularly the Hebrew word "chbr" which is sometimes translated as "join" or "unite" and describes relationships between people but not people and God.
This document discusses how to become a "World Class Christian" by shifting one's thinking from a worldly perspective to a global, eternal perspective focused on fulfilling the Great Commission. It encourages moving from self-centered thinking to being mission-focused by getting involved locally and globally through acts like praying for other nations, going on short-term mission trips, and using resources to help bring others to Christ rather than for self-gratification. Excuses about age, skills or language are dismissed, and embracing suffering and sacrifice in service to God's mission is emphasized.
Week 19 - Lectures on Faith - Lecture Second - Part 3.pptxGlenMartineau
This document discusses a lecture on faith from an earlier text. It provides context for the importance of having faith and exercising faith through action and service. It notes that faith is discussed in several scriptural examples through people using faith to serve and help others. The document then presents several verses from an earlier source that discuss the creation of man and the situation or environment that man was created within, noting it involved natural processes. It stresses that understanding the original situation or environment of man is important for comprehending his current situation within this fallen world.
The document discusses different views of God's omniscience and how it relates to human free will. It presents the view that God knows all things past, present and future (omniscience), which seems to contradict free will. However, others argue that God exists outside of time so does not gain knowledge through experience like humans. An alternative view is that God is "everlasting" so time passes and God learns the future as it unfolds, allowing for free will. The document examines how God's omniscience is compatible with religious concepts of moral responsibility and judgment after death.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

every purpose under heaven.

When there is too little order, the result is chaos. At the other
end of the range, too much order gives rise to obsessiveness
and rigidity. The best in order lies between these extremes.
Alan Morinis
3. A Person is Like An
Abacus
A person is like an
abacus—every bead in
its place, but if the
beads are stuck in
place, they cannot
move or be flexible.
4. Write in Chat:
Where are you in the continuum? Do you lean
toward too much seder or too little?
5. Lack of Order is like Being in Darkness
Job (10:21-22) says, “To the land of darkness
and the shadow of death, the land whose
darkness is like blackness, a shadow of death
and without order, whose very light is like
darkness.”
6. A Lack of Seder Can Leave us Lost
“Lack of order causes confusion, and one
whose mundane matters are without structure
and order will also be confused in their service
of God.”
--Rabbi Zundel of Salant (Rabbi Yisrael Salanter’s mentor)
7. Step by Step, Little by
Little
Rewinding to the very beginning of
time, we discover that God decided to
create the world in seven distinct days
(or six days of creation and the seventh
for rest). The Torah tells us, rather than
God creating everything at once, as God
certainly could have done, The Eternal
chose to form our universe by
establishing distinct days through
specific utterances.
8. “First a person should put his home together,
then his town, then the world.”
--Rabbi Yisrael Salanter
9. Seder Helps
us Be in the
Present
All your actions and possessions should
be orderly – each and every one in a set
place and at a set time. Let your thoughts
always be free to deal with that which lies
ahead of you. This is the trait of
Seder/order: allocating a set time for each
and every thought and analysis, freeing
time and space for each and every affair in
the world of action, and demarcating the
bounds of each with set boundaries so
that one not intrude upon the other.
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Leflin - Cheshbon HaNefesh – ch 3
