This document contains quotes from John Wimber about valuing the Holy Spirit over performances or displays in church. Wimber believes the spotlight should be on the Holy Spirit rather than individuals. He has no issue with spiritual phenomena itself but thinks it should be God-led rather than promoted or brought on by people on stage. Wimber wants churches to give God free reign and not replace listening to the Spirit with theatrical performances that could become distractions.

20170827 Love Begets Love
Text: John 13:31-35 / GCF Nuvali / 27 August 2017
John 13 introduces us to what a number of biblical scholars would coin as the “upper room discourse”. This discourse covers chapters 13 to 17, which is the longest recorded table-talk that Jesus had with the apostles before His arrest at Gethsemane.
What we can also observe as a hallmark of these sets of conversations was how the Greek word ‘agape’ or its verb form ‘agapao’ were mentioned more in chapters 13-17 in comparison to the rest of the book. Therefore, we can infer that the subject matter of “love” was definitely emphasized in the apostles’ long talk with Jesus.
In John 13:31-35, we dive into the words of Christ and discover His own definition of love, its implications in our lives and its impact to the world!
Lesson 1 | Power points | Sabbath School | Second Quarter 2015
Simon, a man from Cyrene, was compelled to carry Jesus' cross after Jesus fell while carrying it. Though initially unwilling, Simon stayed at the crucifixion site until Jesus' death. Afterward, Simon was unable to participate in Passover celebrations due to ceremonial uncleanness from touching the cross. Simon later became a believer in Jesus after studying scriptures about the Messiah. Simon was grateful for having been chosen to carry Jesus' cross and often recounted the story.

Trabajito
The document discusses overcoming perceived impossibilities and limits by pursuing difficult goals that fire one's soul. It advocates surrounding oneself with others who can accomplish the impossible and redefining what is possible by venturing into the impossible. Achieving the difficult may take time but impossibilities vanish when the soul is fired to pursue a challenge.
The effect of the original sin on women
Women had to suffer so much because of the so-called Original Sin, she was also the reason for which God has sent his sole son to be crucified on the Cross.
You Can Be Pitiful or Powerful
This document contains passages from the Bible describing Jesus healing a man who had been ill for 38 years at the pool of Bethesda in Jerusalem. It describes how Jesus asks the man if he wants to be healed, tells him to pick up his mat and walk, and the man is instantly healed. However, it occurred on the Sabbath, so some Jews criticized the man for carrying his mat. Jesus later finds the man in the temple and tells him to stop sinning. The document emphasizes that a person cannot be both pitiful and powerful, and discusses avoiding self-pity through focusing on others and spiritual maturity.
John
This document provides snapshots about the apostle John, including that he was known as the disciple Jesus loved, he wrote the Gospel of John, three epistles, and the book of Revelation. It discusses how John was passionate about truth and balancing it with love. While zeal for truth can become judgmental, John showed the importance of maintaining compassion. The document also emphasizes that a person's identity is found in Jesus' love for them, not in appearances, achievements, or social status.
Dem shades
This document discusses how faith allows one to see the future through difficult circumstances. It encourages building a case through research and evidence to make hoped-for possibilities feel real. It suggests that one's perceptions and life outcomes are shaped by their beliefs and "glasses" through which they view the world. To change one's future, one must renew their mind and be "born again" through spiritual transformation, not just conforming to current patterns of thinking.

02 19 the battle within
This document is a summary of a church service at SSMC Sungei Way-Subang Methodist Church on 19 Feb 2017. The sermon focused on Romans 7:14-25 and discussed the internal struggle or "battle within" that Christians experience between their sinful desires and wanting to do good. It described this as a daily war against the sinful nature. The sermon emphasized that through acknowledging our weakness and dependence on Jesus Christ, Christians can experience victory over sin, though the struggle continues in this life.
Grace & truth 2 reset and reboot
This document summarizes key passages and themes from John 5-8:1-11 in the Bible. It discusses how Jesus faced opposition, offered grace freely to all including a woman caught in adultery, and described himself as the bread of life. The document emphasizes that while grace is offered to all, it does not condone sin. It aims to show that Jesus Christ is the source of grace and truth that can save through faith.
In His Steps
This document discusses the concepts of discipleship and making disciples. It addresses the condition of being a disciple as denying oneself and taking up one's cross daily. The greatest challenge or enemy is oneself. The cross represents the death that Jesus died, while the crown represents the eternal reward. Jesus commands his followers to make disciples of all nations by baptizing them and teaching them to obey all his commands.

Gospel boot camp part 5 (recruiting)
John the Baptist sees Jesus and declares him to be the Lamb of God. Two of John's disciples follow Jesus, and Andrew goes to tell his brother Simon about finding the Messiah. Jesus tells Simon he will be called Peter. The next day Jesus finds Philip and tells him to follow, and Philip finds Nathanael to share the news about Jesus. When Nathanael expresses doubt that anything good could come from Nazareth, Philip invites him to come and see. Jesus affirms that Nathanael is a true Israelite, and later tells him he saw him under the fig tree before Philip called him, leading Nathanael to declare that Jesus is the Son of God.

6th message in a series about encounters with Jesus
0514 john 316 for god so loved the world power point church sermon
God loved the world so much that he gave his only Son, Jesus, so that all who believe in him will not perish but have eternal life. This verse from the Bible, John 3:16, is quoted in the document to emphasize God's great love for humanity and his gift of salvation through faith in his Son. The verse is presented in three different translations to convey the same message: that through believing in Jesus, one can have everlasting life rather than face destruction.
130707 eng supremacy of jesus by ps. peter calvin
This document summarizes a sermon given at Eaglepoint Church on July 7, 2013 about Jesus' supremacy over John the Baptist. The sermon discusses John 3:22-30, where some of John's disciples argue with Jews about purification. When they ask John about Jesus, he responds that Jesus must become greater while he becomes less. The sermon contrasts the views of John's disciples, who see Jesus as a rival, with John's view that Jesus' increasing importance is divinely ordained. It emphasizes that glorifying God, not oneself, is most important.
A christmas story part 2 (the leg lamp john 1 6 9, 15-16, 19-28)
The document describes passages from the Book of John about John the Baptist and his testimony regarding Jesus. It discusses how John the Baptist came to testify about Jesus as the light and to prepare the way for Him. John the Baptist said he was not the Christ or Elijah but was sent to baptize with water and bear witness to Jesus, who was the true light. The document emphasizes that John the Baptist knew who he was by knowing who he was not, and that God introduces Jesus through people who bear witness to Him in their words and deeds so that others may believe.
Gospel Boot Camp part 3 (Deployment)
Fear can overcome faith, or faith fear. Too often we are imprisoned behind our fears rather than stepping out in faith into what God wants us to do.
God's Presence: God's Presence in Doubt
This document discusses how to know and trust God even when it is difficult to recognize his presence. It provides several biblical passages that encourage seeking God, having faith even when doubts exist, and spending time with him. It emphasizes loving God with all that you are and finding him through honest reflection and engagement with scripture. Ultimately, trusting God's heart of love and accepting his invitation to believe is key to coming to know and recognize him.
It's All About Who You Know part 1 (I Am the Resurrection and the Life)
The document summarizes passages from John 11:17-27 about Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead. When Jesus arrives in Bethany, he finds that Lazarus has already been dead for four days. Martha goes to meet Jesus and expresses her faith that if he had been there, Lazarus would not have died. Jesus tells her that her brother will rise again, and Martha affirms her belief in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus then declares that he is "the resurrection and the life" and asks Martha if she believes this. Martha responds by professing her faith that Jesus is the Messiah, the Son of God.
The Revelation of the Father - Week 7
Pastoral formation focuses on living together harmoniously through mercy. God created humans for compassion, but sin distorted relationships. Forgiveness is essential for well-being and reduces stress, while unforgiveness introduces stress. The ability to forgive is crucial for happy relationships. God transforms the stress response through faith and helps with forgiveness. Forming children through a loving marriage models mercy. The story of Luigi and Maria Quattrocchi shows forming a family in holiness through daily Mass and forgiveness.
I am the Good Shepherd
The document contains passages from Ezekiel and John describing shepherds. Ezekiel prophecies against Israel's leaders for not properly caring for their people and letting their "flocks starve". In contrast, God says He will personally search for and tend to His sheep. Jesus then says "I am the good shepherd; I know my own sheep, and they know me, just as my Father knows me and I know the Father. So I sacrifice my life for the sheep."
The Beatitudes - Part 1
Jesus teaches his disciples the Beatitudes, describing eight blessings or attitudes that will lead to happiness. He says blessed are the poor in spirit, those who mourn, the meek, those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, the merciful, the pure in heart, the peacemakers, and those who are persecuted for righteousness. These teachings come after Jesus begins preaching that the kingdom of heaven is at hand and travels throughout Galilee teaching, preaching, and healing people.
I am the way
This document discusses Jesus being the way, the truth, and the life to God. It lists other religions like Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism as ways to God but argues Jesus is the way because of who he is, what he did, and where he is now. The document then discusses Jesus being the truth and life as well according to the Bible. It explores connecting different religious beliefs and rituals but ultimately asserts Jesus embodies all religions as the path to eternal life.
Part 2, Colossians 1:15-23
Christ is God and always has been! Since the beginning of time, He came in human form to show us the invisible God. Christ’s supremacy guarantees that we can live a life of steadfast faith and hope in this shifting world. - See more at: http://www.gracechapel.org/grace-blog/july-5-2015-colossians-steadfast-faith-in-an-unchanging-savior/#sthash.FDk7xGg9.dpuf

Sermon Presentation - Colossians 2:6-19
The document is a collection of passages from the Bible and other Christian writings focused on Jesus Christ. It discusses how Christ is supreme over all other spiritual forces and philosophies, and should be the central focus of one's life rather than substituting other things like rituals, traditions, or asceticism. It emphasizes that Christ alone is enough, and lists some of his attributes like being the bread of life, light of the world, and conqueror of sin and death.
The Fruit of the Spirit 1
Christian character is defined as Christlikeness, with love being its supreme manifestation. It is developed as the Holy Spirit produces spiritual fruit within believers like love, joy, peace, and more. Christian character is cultivated by maintaining fellowship with God through prayer and spending time in his word, as well as fellowship with other believers through church community and encouragement.
08 09 col 2 8-15 complete in christ final
Colossians 2:8-15 warns Christians to be aware of hollow and deceptive philosophies that depend on human tradition rather than Christ. It teaches that all the fullness of God lives in Christ, so believers are complete in Him. Through spiritual circumcision and baptismal identification with Christ's death and resurrection, believers have been made alive from spiritual death. Christ triumphed over all powers and authorities through His death on the cross.

Vineyard Values - Character, not Gifting
The document discusses the importance of character over gifting in church leaders. It quotes John Wimber saying he looks for how potential leaders love and serve the local church, give, and talk about other leaders when evaluating them rather than their gifts. A leader must have an exemplary character and lifestyle according to scripture. Power can corrupt, so leaders must have strong character. Leaders will reproduce themselves and their character in others, so it is important that they set a godly example through their daily spirituality and lives.
Vineyard Values - Compassion
John Wimber emphasizes that ministry to the poor through acts of mercy like feeding, clothing, and helping the poor is very important to God and should be a regular practice for the Vineyard. The Vineyard Genetic Code outlines serving the city as one of its core values. Jesus taught that when we serve the poor, hungry, thirsty, strangers, naked, sick or imprisoned we are serving him. John Wimber encourages considering what acts of service the Father is calling you to do for the poor and vulnerable.
Happy Valentine's Day?
Jesus' disciples say it is better not to marry if divorce is forbidden. Jesus responds that not all can accept this, as some are born unable to marry, made unable by others, or choose not to marry to devote themselves to the Kingdom of Heaven, though this is a personal choice one must feel called to. The passage discusses marriage, celibacy, and devotion to faith, hope, and the church.
Inviting and Gathering Part 3
Jesus preaches to crowds from a boat on the Sea of Galilee. When he finishes, he tells Simon Peter to let down his fishing nets even though they had caught nothing all night. When they do, the nets are so full of fish they begin to tear. This astonishes Peter and the other fishermen. Peter asks Jesus to leave because he feels unworthy. But Jesus tells him instead he will catch people. Peter and the others then follow Jesus.
Inviting and Gathering Part 1
Jesus sends 72 disciples out in pairs to visit towns and spread the message of God's kingdom. He instructs them to pray for more workers and to travel light, staying in one place to accept hospitality. If a town welcomes the disciples, they should heal the sick and share that God's kingdom is near. But if a town rejects them, the disciples should shake its dust from their feet as a sign they have abandoned that town. The disciples return joyfully, having been given power over demons. Jesus tells them their mission is to invite people to learn about him and persuade them to accept his message.
Bristol Vineyard Annual Review 2015 Part 2
Bristol Vineyard's financial summary for 2015 shows that total income was £185,796, an increase from £176,900 in 2014. Total expenditure was £149,845. This resulted in a net income of £35,951 for 2015, up from £9,896 in 2014. The largest sources of income were regular income at £110,734, gifts at £34,372, and tax refunds at £25,826. The highest expenditures were employment at £82,855 and grants at £20,417.
Bristol Vineyard Annual Review 2015 part 1
The 2015 annual review document outlines the agenda which includes defining a healthy church, reviewing the previous year, presenting finances, and looking ahead to 2016 goals. It also discusses discipleship in terms of growing intimacy with God, developing a healthy church community, serving the city, and inviting others.
I am the Way, and the Truth, and the Life.
This document discusses Jesus being the way, the truth, and the life to God. It lists other religions like Islam, Buddhism and Hinduism as ways to God but emphasizes that Jesus is the true way because of who he is, what he did, and where he is now. The document then discusses Jesus being the truth and connects different religious beliefs. It ends by stating Jesus is the life and discussing faith.
I am the Gate
The document is a collection of Bible passages from John 10:1-5 and John 10:9-10 about Jesus being the gate for sheep. It states that Jesus is the gate/door, and that those who enter through him will be saved and have a rich life. It contrasts this with thieves who sneak in illegally to steal and destroy.
I am the light of the world
The document discusses Jesus' teachings about being the light of the world from the Gospel of John. It provides several passages from John where Jesus says he is the light of the world and that those who follow him will not walk in darkness but have the light of life. The document also references passages from Leviticus about the Jewish Feast of Tabernacles and Exodus about God leading the Israelites with a pillar of cloud by day and fire by night.
Why do we have to persist?
The document discusses persistence in prayer based on two passages from the Bible. It notes that Jesus tells a parable about a man who persistently asks his friend for bread late at night. Even though the friend refuses at first, he gets up and gives the man what he needs because of his persistence. The document then quotes another passage where Jesus says those who ask will receive, those who seek will find, and those who knock will have the door opened. This implies that believers should persist in prayer.
What is a disciple?
This document contains summaries of four biblical passages about disciples and teachers. The first passage describes Paul's background and education under Gamaliel in Jerusalem. The second tells how Jesus called Simon Peter and Andrew to follow him and become fishers of men. The third recounts Jesus walking on water and calming the disciples' fears during a storm. The fourth mentions Barnabas finding Paul in Tarsus and them teaching together in Antioch, where the disciples were first called Christians.
What is church?
This document discusses church and Christianity from multiple perspectives. It begins by asking if the reader is a follower or Christian and attends church. It then shares two bible passages where Jesus tells his disciples to make disciples of all nations and teach them his commands. The document notes some disadvantages of church, including having the wrong goal of just attending rather than spiritual growth. It shares a bible quote about pursuing perfection in Christ. Overall, the document examines the role and purpose of church from Jesus' perspective through various quotes and perspectives.
"Hasn't Evolution disproved Creation?"
This document discusses creationism and evolution. It presents perspectives from both sides of the debate. It questions whether evolution has disproved creation and examines arguments that evolution is proven fact versus a theory. It also questions why discussion of alternatives to evolution is ridiculed rather than allowed as open scientific debate. Both sides cite scientists and researchers to support their positions on the relationship between science and religion regarding the origins of life.
"Science has Disproved Christianity"
This document presents perspectives from scientists and philosophers on the relationship between science and religion. It includes quotes that both support and reject the compatibility of science and faith. For example, Peter Atkins asserts that science and faith cannot be reconciled, while Francis Collins believes Darwinism is fully compatible with religious beliefs. The document also discusses philosophical arguments for and against the existence of God, such as Thomas Aquinas' cosmological argument and challenges to that view.
Introduction to the Minor Prophets
This document provides an overview of major people and events in the history of ancient Israel, from their exodus from Egypt through the exile and return. It lists the 12 minor prophets and notes the approximate dates of their prophecies. Timelines show the division of Israel into northern and southern kingdoms and the fall of each kingdom, with accompanying prophets. The purpose and interpretation of Old Testament prophecy is also briefly discussed.
The Origins of the Book of Acts
How Luke's original 2-part text 'History of Christian Origins', separated to become his Gospel and the book of Acts.
Psalms 5
The document is a summary of Psalm 51, one of the Penitential Psalms. It discusses King David's prayer to God after being confronted by the prophet Nathan for his sins of adultery with Bathsheba and conspiracy to murder her husband. David acknowledges and confesses his sins, asking God to wash him clean and renew a right spirit within him. He expresses his repentance and desire that God forgive him and restore his joy.

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.

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).

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 IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS
The subject of spiritualism fundamentally relates to two specific tenets, independent yet closely associated as one—awareness and consciousness.

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.
The pervasiveness of Lying in today's World.pptx
In our interconnected world, lies weave through the fabric of society like hidden threads. We encounter them in politics, media, personal relationships, and even within ourselves. The prevalence of deception raises profound questions about truth, trust, and the human condition.
Tales of This and Another Life - Chapters.pdf
This book is one of the best of the translated ones, for it has a warning character for all those who find themselves in the experience of material life.
