Who's your partner - Ephesians 5:1-7
This document provides a summary of Ephesians 5:1-7 regarding imitating God and avoiding immoral behavior. It makes three key points:
1) Children of God should imitate their heavenly Father by focusing on God's love and following Christ's example of sacrifice.
2) Children of God should not behave like "children of disobedience" by engaging in immorality, impurity, greed or crude speech. Such behavior is inconsistent with God's kingdom.
3) Those who behave immorally, through sexual sin or idolatry, will not inherit God's kingdom and invite his wrath. Christians should therefore not partner or associate with those living immoral lifestyles.
Church transforming lives, reforming society
The document discusses the transformation of Jacob and Peter as examples of how believers must experience a profound change in their lives. Jacob had to face God at Jabbok and have his old nature crucified before he could inherit God's promises.

The document argues that churches today must focus on renewing people's minds through God's word so they can be transformed and impact society in business, politics, and other areas. It provides the example of Daniel, who transformed Babylonian culture from the inside through his wisdom and connection to God.
Galatians a drone's view1
Paul wrote the letter of Galatians to churches in Galatia to address false teachings that believers must follow Jewish laws and traditions in addition to faith in Christ. The letter emphasizes:

2) Following Jewish laws cannot justify or complete salvation - faith in Christ is sufficient.
3) All believers, both Jews and Gentiles, are made righteous through faith and not works, as foretold in Scripture.
4) The Galatians are falling prey to those who want to add requirements of the law to faith in Christ, risking losing their freedom and standing as sons of
Politics - A Kingdom Imperative
The document discusses the importance of Christians entering politics to advance God's kingdom. It makes three key points:
1) The kingdom of God encompasses all aspects of society, including politics, so Christians should work to bring God's rule in the political domain.
2) Pastors must expand their role from just leading churches to becoming elders over their cities and nations in order to direct the affairs of the community according to God.
3) God is placing Christian men and women with a shepherding calling into political positions so they can help dismantle man-made systems and establish God's government on Earth.
True Unity In Christ
This document discusses the importance of unity in the church. It provides scriptural support for unity from passages like Ephesians 4:11-13 and Hebrews 10:23-25. It defines unity as oneness and agreement. It encourages focusing on commonalities over differences, avoiding criticism and gossip, resolving conflicts biblically, supporting leaders, and encouraging one another. The document warns that lack of unity through things like cliques, debts, or not working can hinder the church. Overall, it promotes practicing love and focusing on Christ to preserve unity.

Isaiah 54 commentary
This document provides commentary on Isaiah 54 from three scholars - Barnes, Clarke, and Gill. It summarizes their interpretations of Isaiah 54:1, which refers to Zion/Jerusalem as a barren woman who will greatly increase in children. The scholars view this as a prophecy of the growth of God's people - from the small number of believers in the Jewish church to the vast multitudes who would become Christians, far surpassing the children of the married wife/Jewish church. Henry also applies this to the post-exilic increase of the Jews in Israel and the ultimate abundant spread of Christianity among both Jews and Gentiles.
Christ's Supremacy

Paul lists the privileges and advantages he once took pride in, such as his Jewish heritage, status as a Pharisee, and blameless record under the law.

- Spiritual inheritance and blessings are only received through connection with the spiritual father, as the son of God.
- Examples like Elijah and Elisha demonstrate how the anointing flows from father to son. A father imparts value and desires the son to exceed

The overall message is that Christians' "marketplace" is also their mission from God and they should seek to change the world through their work.

Ephesians 4
Paul challenges believers to live in a way that honors their status as members of the body of Christ. As God's representatives on Earth, Christians should demonstrate unity, humility, and moral/ethical behavior. Specifically, believers are instructed to reject sinful nature, speak truthfully, manage anger properly, use constructive language, and forgive others as God forgives. The goal is for Christians to please the Holy Spirit with their conduct and bring people to Christ through their example.
Love sermon
The document outlines a mission to love God and others through discipleship, evangelism, equipping others, and promoting family. Following Jesus' command, the mission aims to make disciples of all nations by baptizing them and teaching them to obey God's commands until they are mature in Christ. The mission will also serve the poor through compassion to extend God's grace. Led by the Holy Spirit, the ultimate goals are to advance God's kingdom and pass the faith to future generations.
authoring a hero's journey: finding meaning through story
We live, learn, and remember through story. Our brains weave each experience into the overall narrative that shapes who we are. Yet seldom do we step back to examine or consciously shape the overall story of our lives. As designers, many of us have a desire to change the world. And yet, as Leo Tolstoy said, “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” If design is change, if we want to use design to effect change, shouldn’t we first think about changing ourselves by designing our own story? For the stories we tell ourselves can change the way we see the world and, by extension, change the world itself.
Inner Child
The document discusses rediscovering one's inner child. It asks the reader to reflect on when they last engaged in childlike activities like reading for pleasure, being in nature, playing, and allowing others to care for them. It describes the inner child as holding the key to well-being, creativity, and wisdom. Rediscovering and embracing the inner child is important for being fully human and healing by making oneself whole again.

The Workmanship of the Believer-- Ephesians 5
The document discusses the workmanship required of believers to imitate Christ. It says believers must be trained to restrain their flesh and live properly among one another through their physical, conversational, and imagined lives. True revival is needed to please God through repentance, transformation, and obeying His word and commands. Believers are called to walk in the light by developing the fruit of the Spirit and destroying anything that does not produce this fruit. Intimacy with God through psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs is required to become the kind of believer who abounds in the Spirit rather than the ways of the world.

Rules for crossing over 4 27-11a
This document provides an overview of BOLD Ministry, which holds meetings in New York City, and discusses rules for crossing over into inheritance. It begins with background on BOLD Ministry and its meeting locations. It then discusses two rules for crossing over: 1) Remember to forget - allowing God to show you what to forget from the past and produce fruit during affliction; and 2) Take voice lessons from the Holy Spirit to recognize God's voice, as following His voice is key to entering the Promised Land. The document provides biblical support for both rules.
Hebrews chapter 3-4:13
The document discusses the faithfulness of church members and describes them as holy, partakers, deliberators, and confessors. It provides two examples of faithfulness in Jesus and Moses and their differences. It outlines the duties of preachers to the faithful as reminding, reassuring, reproving, and repeating the message. It discusses falling behind in church growth and exhorts the readers to not fear but be diligent in their faith. Finally, it describes the power and nature of God's word as alive, relevant, piercing, dividing, and unmasking.
DOCTRINE 11 - WORSHIP - PS JOSEPH FERMIN - 630PM EVENING SERVICE
The document discusses the topic of worship and idolatry. It defines worship as giving glory and sacrifice to God, including praise with various instruments and dance. Idolatry is worshiping anything other than God the Creator, whether things in nature or things made by humans. It encourages examining internal idolatries like false beliefs and external idolatries like what receives one's money and plans. Nurturing right worship involves renewing one's personal life through Christ's redemption and avoiding carved images or serving other things before God.
Overcoming part2
The document provides guidance on enduring hardships and receiving spiritual rewards. It discusses key points:

3) Maintaining focus, applying attention wisely, and reacting properly allows one to sustain oneself through trials by drawing from the Spirit's fruit. Endurance involves properly dealing with cycles and traps one will face.
Just shall live by faith homily
This document is a 3-part homily given by Domenic Marbaniang in 1998 on the topic of "The Just Shall Live by Faith" based on Romans 1:17. The summary focuses on the key points:
1) Part I discusses how the life of the just begins by faith - through God's unmerited grace and man's response of faith which results in justification and eternal life.
2) Part II examines the continuity of life by faith as an ongoing process of perception, protection, and progression through continually relating to God empirically, cognitively and meaningfully via scripture and submitting to His will.
3) Part III addresses the consummation of life by faith
Daniel's Great Time Prophecies
Daniel has a vision of four beasts representing four kingdoms that will arise. A little horn power arises and persecutes the saints for a time, times, and half a time (1260 years). Judgment is then given in favor of the saints. The prophecies point to the time of the end and are unsealed by Adventism after 1844. Daniel is troubled by the vision but keeps it to ponder its meaning.
Coffee cupverses9
The document discusses how to study the Bible and gain confidence through Christ. It examines Philippians 4:13, where Paul says he can do all things through Christ who strengthens him. Several methods are outlined for studying the Bible, including using different translations, commentaries, context, and cross-references. The key point is that Paul's confidence came from relying on Christ's strength within him rather than his own abilities.
Power play Acts 19:11-20
The document summarizes a passage from Acts describing extraordinary miracles performed through Paul, including healings and exorcisms. Handkerchiefs or aprons that had touched Paul's body were able to heal people and cast out demons. It then discusses how some Jewish exorcists unsuccessfully tried to copy Paul, and how this led many in Ephesus to believe and publicly confess and destroy books of magic. The word of the Lord was growing mightily as a result.

2) A story is recounted about sons of a Jewish priest who tried to exorcise demons in Jesus' name but failed because they did not truly know Jesus, showing the importance of having a personal relationship with Christ beyond just invoking his name.
3) Methods of spiritual growth outlined include acknowledging, accepting, following, and receiving the teachings of the Bible which bring wisdom, joy, enlightenment, and lasting reverence for God. The document

Worship and wealth
This document discusses God's original plan for humanity to have dominion over the earth and its resources. It describes how Adam forfeited this position through disobedience but that Jesus restored it through his obedience. Now believers can regain dominion in the different spheres of society (mountains) through love, obedience and worship of God. As change agents in their spheres of influence, from business to government, Christians can see God's will manifest on earth as in heaven.
12 laws of Breakthrough
This document outlines 12 "Laws of Breakthrough" based on the biblical story of a man being healed at the gate called Beautiful in Acts 3:1-10. The 12 laws are: Agreement, Timing, Routine, Excellence, Access, Focus, Expectation, Content, Support, Progress, Visibility, and Awe. Each law is accompanied by a brief explanation or biblical verse reference.
Faith, Food, and fasting
The document describes a spiritual fast at Cornerstone Worship Center from January 8-28, 2018. It involves fasting from sunrise to progressively later times each week, as well as eliminating certain foods from the diet. The purpose is to align with God through fasting, set goals for a healthy lifestyle, and receive scriptural benefits like freedom from addiction or insight. Participants are encouraged to choose a type of fast and use the time for prayer, repentance, and overcoming temptation to seek God's guidance.
Authority of the believer 1 may 16
1) God gave humanity authority over the earth according to scripture, and Jesus gave believers the authority to complete his work through his name.
2) The pastor encourages believers to truly listen to what God says and walk in his authority, not be caught up in religion or darkness.
3) To walk in authority, believers must follow God's strategy of submission, accountability, and commitment (SAC) to his word and each other, not the enemy's strategy of pride, apathy, and confidence in the world.

It's uncommon
The document describes several biblical passages about common experiences and practices of early Christians. It notes that the early Christians devoted themselves to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread together, and prayer. They shared possessions and distributed goods to those in need. It then describes how Ananias lied about monetary contributions, and was rebuked by Peter for lying not just to humans but to God. Further passages discuss common human experiences like temptation, and how thinking shapes being. The document emphasizes living according to common Christian beliefs.
The Chords of Life
Sometimes hitting a wrong "chord" in life is just what is needed so that you will be able to fine tune your life for what lies ahead.
It’s as simple as ABC
Psalm 119 is the longest chapter in the Bible and focuses on delighting in and living by God's word. It was traditionally the first part of scripture children were taught to memorize in an acrostic format. Studying the word informs the intellect, illuminates practical application, inspires obedience, reveals new truths, helps one realize personal change, transforms character, and ultimately manifests Jesus' love in our lives and to others. The process of understanding and living out God's word is presented as being "as simple as ABC."
A Heart after God Father's Day 2015
This document discusses the importance of fathers having a heart for God. It provides several Bible verses exhorting fathers to turn their hearts to their children and impart God's word to them constantly through talking, quoting Scripture, and living it out. The verses encourage fathers to be strong and courageous in following God's handbook found in his word. Fathers are instructed to impress God's teachings on their children from a young age and to draw a line in committing their own family to worshipping the Lord alone. Overall, the document emphasizes the key role of fathers in passing on their faith in God to the next generation.
New sheriff in town Ephesians 6
The document discusses Ephesians 6 and becoming leaders from a young age. It explains that children should obey their parents to avoid pain and honor them to live long lives. Fathers have a key role in training their heirs. True riches come from God, and leaders should not take advantage of others but were once great followers themselves. The passage encourages putting on the armor of God to stand against coming fights as new sheriffs take their place of leadership.
Our light afflictions
The document discusses Pastor Andrew Williams' sermon on "Our Light Afflictions". It describes Job as a perfect, upright man who feared God and shunned evil. Job experienced four tragic events where he lost his livestock, servants, and children due to attacks from others and natural disasters. Afflictions are defined as states of pain, distress or grief. The sermon notes that afflictions are common to all people, exist for the good of men to develop patience, and bring glory to God by allowing His strength to be made perfect in our weaknesses.
It's in the Blood
Belonging to God is key to fitting into one's proper place and environment. To belong is derived from a Hebrew word meaning "to God", and involves binding or reconciling together. Believing involves having faith and confidence in truth, derived from a Hebrew word meaning "to confirm". Becoming involves beginning as something and being transformed, derived from a Hebrew word meaning "to fall out and come to pass". The document then lists seven ways Jesus suffered to bring emotional, physical, and mental healing and covering to mankind.
The Worship of the Believer--Ephesians 3
The document discusses the worship of believers from Ephesians 3:2-21. It summarizes key points about the dispensation of grace, the mystery of God inviting gentiles to his table, God's effective power and unsearchable riches, God revealing things progressively through time, and strengthening believers through rootedness in love. The document emphasizes that the church's purpose is to show non-believers the true love of God in order to heal their wounds, and that God is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all through his power.
The Walk of the Believer---Ephesians 2
The Walk of the Believer--Ephesians 2. Sometimes life as a believer is hard. The Book of Ephesians provides us with some valuable tools that will help us with our daily walk with the Lord.

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.

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.

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