0004 Revelation Ch. 6
The document provides an overview and analysis of key passages from Revelation chapter 6 regarding the opening of the seven seals and the four horsemen. It summarizes that the first seal reveals a rider on a white horse who will conquer through deception and peace. The second seal brings war, the third famine, and the fourth death through sword, hunger and wild beasts. The seals will result in one fourth of the world's population being killed. The sixth seal causes worldwide natural disasters that terrify those who rejected God's salvation.
An Annointing For The Nations
The document discusses three anointings of David in the Bible. The first was David's individual anointing by Samuel to be king over Israel. The second was David's anointing as king over the tribe of Judah. The third was David's anointing as king over all of Israel by the elders. It encourages the reader to overcome challenges, walk with God, overcome division, and establish Christ as king over all the earth. The document ends by drawing parallels between David's anointings and Jesus' anointing by the Holy Spirit at baptism and his desire for unity in the church.
Makom's Illuminated Megillah - Purim 2013
There is a long history of Jewish artists creating illuminated manuscripts - sacred texts beautified and interpreted through images drawn on or around the texts. Before Purim 2013, Makom community members of all ages were invited to explore Megillat Esther (the scroll of Esther) and then paint their own figurative or abstract visual depiction of the theme or scene of their choice. The art was digitally scanned and the images projected ("illuminated") very large on the east wall of the Kiever Synagogue during the corresponding parts of megillah reading on Purim, creating our community’s own live- performance, illuminated megillah. We hope you enjoy this slideshow of Makom's Illuminated Megillah!

Revelation ~ Lesson 40, The Sixth and Seventh Bowls
The passage describes the events of the sixth and seventh bowls being poured out according to the book of Revelation. It involves armies gathering for the battle of Armageddon, great earthquakes and disasters occurring, and Babylon being destroyed. The kings of the world will go to battle in the valley of Megiddo but God will intervene and pour out his spirit on Jerusalem and destroy the nations attacking the city.

Righteousness leads to paradise
Righteousness leads to Paradise according to a saying of the Prophet Muhammad. Truthfulness leads to righteousness as telling the truth makes one a truthful person over time. In contrast, falsehood leads to wickedness and wickedness leads to Hell. Repeated lying can cause one to be recorded by God as a liar.
The Mark Of The Beast
Bible prophecy tells us that the time is coming when the world will be united under an incredibly intelligent, charismatic, powerful, evil man. And it states that the Antichrist’s coming will be according to the working of Satan, with all power and signs and lying wonders. The antichrist will exalt himself above all that is worshiped or called God and he will force everyone to take a mark (called the mark of the beast) or they will be killed. The bible gives a stern warning and demands that no one is to take this mark.
Obadiah: Pride vs Humility - Humility wins and wins big
1) Edom was a nation that descended from Esau and lived in an area that seemed safely protected by cliffs. However, God calls the nations to battle against Edom and cut them down in size due to their pride.
2) Edom is condemned for betraying their brother Jacob and Judah. They stood by as strangers took Israel's wealth and supported Israel's destruction. Because of their violence, Edom will be destroyed forever.
3) God's judgment is coming upon all nations as what they have done will return upon their own heads. On Mount Zion there will be deliverance for God's people, while Edom will be consumed by fire and have no survivors. Redemption is
The Reign Of King Solomon
The document provides information about King Solomon's reign in the 10th century BCE, including:
1) Solomon ruled over a kingdom that extended from Egypt to Euphrates River and built many fortified cities.
2) Solomon is credited with building the First Temple in Jerusalem to house the Ark of the Covenant.
3) Solomon was renowned for his wisdom, authoring thousands of proverbs and songs, and had expertise in fields from botany to zoology.
AMOS 1- CHANGE - PTR ALAN ESPORAS - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE
This document discusses the sins and judgments of various nations according to the book of Amos in the Bible. It describes how each nation sinned and faced judgment from God. The nations discussed are Damascus, Gaza, Tyre, Edom, Ammon, Moab, Judah, and Israel. For each nation, it provides details on their sin, the judgment God brought, and historical fulfillment of the judgment. Throughout, it draws parallels between the messages to the ancient nations and ways God may deal with similar sins today.
AMOS 1- CHANGE - PTR ALAN ESPORAS - 4PM AFTERNOON SERVICE
This document discusses how sin has corrupted mankind since entering the world. It describes how sin can spread like a chain reaction from person to person and nation to nation. It says God will bring temporary judgment to turn people to repentance, but if they continue in sin and neglect God's judgment, they will face eternal punishment. The document then examines how the prophet Amos delivered warnings about God's coming judgment on several nations - Damascus, Gaza, Tyre, Edom, and Ammon - for their sins of cruelty, slave trading, and neglecting their covenants. It suggests these warnings also apply prophetically to judge such sins today.
03 March 9, 2014, Proverbs & Solomon, When Wisdom Was Not Enough
King Solomon strayed from his own wisdom and proverbs by losing his fear of the Lord. As he grew old, his many foreign wives turned his heart to other gods instead of fully devoting himself to the Lord. This was surprising given Solomon's early wisdom and blessings from God. The lessons are that no one is immune from temptation, no position is safe from sin's allure, and we must resist sin at all times and not become lenient toward it.
The Prophet Amos
The document provides an overview of the prophet Amos through various Bible passages. It summarizes that Amos received visions concerning Israel during the reigns of kings Uzziah and Jeroboam II. Amos prophesied against Israel for their sins and injustice, warning that God would punish them. The priest Amaziah tried to expel Amos from prophesying at Bethel, but Amos said he was called by God to prophesy to Israel.
Esther 3
Mordecai, a Jew, refuses to bow down to Haman, who has been appointed as the king's highest official. Mordecai does not show reverence to Haman because Haman is descended from Agag, the king of the Amalekites who were cursed by God. When Mordecai is questioned about disobeying the king's command, he states that he is a Jew. Haman is informed of Mordecai's defiance and plans to have all the Jews killed in retaliation for Mordecai's refusal to bow down to him.
03 March 9, 2014, Proverbs & Solomon, When Wisdom Was Not Enough
1. King Solomon, the wisest man who once feared the Lord, strayed from his wisdom and God's commands by developing insatiable appetites for wealth and women later in life.
2. His heart became turned away from fully devoted to God, and he engaged in idolatry by worshipping the false gods of his many foreign wives.
3. The lessons are that no one is immune from temptation, no position or privileges can protect from sin, and sin can gradually creep in if one is not vigilant and committed to resisting it at all times.
1 kings 5 commentary
Hiram, king of Tyre, sent envoys to Solomon to congratulate him on becoming king after his father David. Hiram had always been friendly with David. Solomon decided to build a temple for God, as David had wanted to. Solomon arranged with Hiram to provide timber from Lebanon in exchange for wheat and olive oil. Hiram agreed and sent skilled workers to help prepare the materials for building the temple. Commentators note the contrast between God originally wanting a spiritual house of people rather than a physical temple, but that God accommodated the temple project.

2) He authored Proverbs in his youth and Ecclesiastes at the end of his life, realizing his vast worldly wisdom was meaningless without spiritual wisdom.
3) Although he was the wisest man, Solomon acknowledged that pursuing knowledge and wisdom alone leads to grief, and the true meaning in life comes from fearing God.
AMOS 3 - CHALLENGE - PTR ALVIN GUTIERREZ - 10AM MORNING SERVICE
The document contains Amos' visions of judgment from God against Israel for their sins. It begins with visions of locusts and fire destroying the land. Another vision uses a plumb line to show how Israel has not kept straight with God. A priest opposes Amos' message, but Amos insists he is only prophesying what God has called him to say. Further visions depict a basket of ripe fruit indicating the time for judgment, and doorposts shaking to signify God's verdict. The document ends with promises of restoration if Israel turns from sin.

071202 Solomon Warning Signs Of A Drifting Sire 1 Kings 3 Dale Wells
Solomon's success led to spiritual erosion over time as indicated by several warning signs. He made unwise alliances like marrying foreign women, engaged in unsuitable worship practices, and displayed unrestrained extravagance by accumulating excessive wealth, horses, and wives contrary to God's commands, which eventually caused him to turn away from God. While his failures were not sudden, the seeds were planted early in his reign through certain decisions and behaviors.

Attribute of courage
The document discusses fear and courage from a biblical perspective. It references several passages from the books of Mark and 1 John that discuss not being perfected in love if living in fear. It states that God uses fear as a tool, like a carpenter, and that people are made by God, not by their own courage or strength of will. It also discusses passages where Jesus urges or commands his disciples to get in a boat during a storm, questioning their fearfulness. The overall message seems to be that having faith in God can help overcome fear and that fear can prevent one from seeing what God is offering.
Attribute of hope
The document discusses the biblical story from 2 Kings 7 about how King Jehoram of Israel reacted with anger and hopelessness to a prophecy of future prosperity, while Elisha and others maintained hope in God's word. It highlights how God often answers prayers in unexpected ways using unlikely sources, and how maintaining an attitude of hope even in dark times can lead to recognizing God's answers when they come.
Attribute of justice
This document appears to be a collection of loosely related quotes and figures from the Bible and history. It includes a quote from Romans about civil authorities bearing the sword as God's ministers to execute wrath on evildoers. It then lists some famous law enforcement figures like J. Edgar Hoover and criminals they pursued. It draws a parallel between Abraham Lincoln and the biblical figure Jephthah, noting ways they were similar. It also includes information about General Daniel Sickles. The document does not provide much context or connection between these various pieces of information.
Attribute of faithfulness
This document discusses God's attribute of faithfulness through several Bible passages. It notes that while men can be faithless, God remains faithful and that it is better to trust in God than in man. The Bible contains stories of faithless men who were still used by God. God's faithfulness cannot be denied. Additional passages discussed include 1 Kings 17, Hebrews 11, and Proverbs 11:24 about generosity leading to riches.
Attribute of faithfulness
This document discusses God's attribute of faithfulness through several Bible passages. It notes that while men can be faithless, God remains faithful and that it is better to trust in God than in man. The document encourages trusting in God, citing passages that discuss God moving faithless men and blessing those who trust in Him. It concludes with a passage from Proverbs about generosity leading to riches.
Attribute of grace
The document discusses the biblical letter of Philemon. It was written by Paul to Philemon, a pastor, asking him to accept back Onesimus, Philemon's runaway slave. Onesimus had become a Christian after meeting Paul in prison. Paul pleads for Philemon to forgive Onesimus and treat him not as a slave but as a brother in Christ. The document emphasizes God's grace and the importance of forgiveness.
God's attribute of wisdom
This document discusses the attribute of wisdom in the Bible. It defines wisdom as foundational and necessary to navigate life. True wisdom comes from fearing God and asking Him for wisdom. In contrast, worldly wisdom is described as self-seeking, envious, boastful, sensual and demonic. God's wisdom is characterized as pure, peaceable, gentle and full of mercy. The document encourages seeking wisdom, which walks as Jesus walked and has many benefits like preserving, honoring and adding years to one's life. Wisdom is portrayed as a learned process involving controlling appetites, keeping one's word, and evaluating motives.
The best witness
This document contains excerpts from speeches given by Billy Graham when receiving the Congressional Gold Medal in 1996. In the speeches, Graham says that America has gone down the wrong path and needs God's help. He acknowledges that all people are sinners but that Christ's sacrifice offers forgiveness to those who accept it, though it will cost them to follow Him. The document also contains contrasts between the wisdom of this age and God's wisdom, and messages communicated by the world versus God's message.
Anatomy of a pure heart
This document provides a summary of Acts chapters 24-25. It discusses Paul's hearing before Felix in Caesarea, where the high priest Tertullus accuses Paul of causing trouble. Felix delays making a decision. After two years, Festus replaces Felix as governor. When Paul appeals to Caesar, Festus discusses the case with King Agrippa. Paul declares his innocence and tells of his vision and mission to the Gentiles. The king is almost persuaded to become a Christian.
A cross to bear
The document discusses how every cross given to a person by God has certain characteristics and serves as a teacher. It states that a cross teaches sacrificial love, focus, submission, wisdom, boundaries, and reveals God. It also notes that through enduring one's cross, a person can gain success through failure, comfort through hardship, strength through weakness, wisdom through confusion, and new life through dying daily.
Peace amid hysteria
The document discusses peace amid hysteria from Acts 22:1-29. It contrasts life with and without God's Word. With God's Word, one finds conversion, wisdom, joy and enlightenment, while without it leads to hysteria, confusion and lack of reason. It notes historical examples of "uproar". It encourages understanding God's will through Scripture and finding revival through God's Word when afflicted for keeping it, as maintaining peace requires removing hysteria through reason and sobriety of mind found in following Christ.
Heart of a shepherd
This document discusses themes from Acts 21:1-14 related to having a shepherd's heart like Jesus. It notes that as Christians traveled with Paul from Macedonia to Jerusalem, Paul warned them that imprisonment awaited him in Jerusalem. However, the Christians encouraged Paul to continue his ministry, trusting that God's will would be done. The document emphasizes that a good shepherd, like Jesus, is willing to sacrifice and care for their flock.

Vision 2020
This document provides an annual review and celebration for a church, summarizing their activities and finances from 2019. It highlights that the church held over 600 gatherings for worship, teaching, prayer, outreach and ministry. Financially, they had total income of $595,114 and expenses of $631,069. They supported multiple local and international missions through giving over $131,969. The review celebrates 21 years of the church's heritage and their purpose of glorifying God through teaching, worship, fellowship and outreach.

The review celebrates 21 years of the church's heritage and purpose of glorifying God through teaching, worship, fellowship and outreach.
God's team mission
This document discusses the importance of teamwork and faithfulness. It references several Bible verses about how everyone has an important role to play and how God looks at the heart rather than outward appearances. It also quotes former U.S. President Calvin Coolidge saying nothing is more powerful than persistence and faithfulness. The document promotes working together as a team for God's mission.
Call me blessed
The document discusses several Bible verses about God's ways being higher than human ways and thoughts. It notes that while people may see circumstances as bad, God could actually be at work through those circumstances. The overall message is that God's plans and reasoning are beyond human understanding.
The unfolding story
This document discusses chapters 18-19 of the Book of Acts, focusing on Paul's journey and the people and events that shaped his story. It provides a timeline of Paul's first visit to Corinth and Ephesus from 49-50 AD. The document also discusses key concepts in 1 Corinthians and Ephesians like unity in the biblical community.
Sacrifice and virtue
The document discusses Paul's journey and prolonged stay in Corinth as described in Acts 18. It emphasizes that the degree of virtue attained is equal to the degree of sacrifice one is willing to make, citing passages from Romans and Ecclesiastes. It provides context about Paul's travels between cities like Philippi, Thessalonica, Berea, and Athens before his first visit to Corinth around 49-50 AD.
His story
1) Paul continues his second missionary journey, traveling through various regions to spread the gospel, including Troas, Macedonia, Galatia, Bithynia, Asia, Mysia, and Phrygia.
2) In Philippi, Paul encounters a slave girl who can predict the future, but Paul casts out the spirit of divination from her, angering her owners. Paul and Silas are arrested and beaten.
3) An earthquake frees Paul and Silas from prison, and the jailer and his family are converted after Paul explains that they must believe in Jesus to be saved.

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).
OM Meditation - ultimate meditation technique
PHASE-IV
The very deep experience of silence helps to expand from the 3 - dimensional awareness of the body to all pervasive awareness. The bed of silence becomes deeper and more expansive - an ocean of silence with waves on it merge into complete silence called Ajapa state of the mind. This silence is the source of Creativity, Power, Knowledge and Bliss.
PHASE V
From this deep ocean of silence in the heart region, let one OM emerge as an audible sound which diffuses into the entire body and the space all around. Enjoy the beautiful vibrations.
Blink the eyes slowly, gently open the eyes and come out of meditation.
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.

Muladhara is the root centre of physical experience, located at the base of the spine, the sacral plexus. The square represents the earth itself, the four dimensions and the four directions. Four allows for completion, and earth embodies the elements and conditions for human completion on all levels.
Muladhara Chakra is the meeting place of the three main nadis: Ida, Pingala and Sushumna. The downward-pointing triangle indicates the downward movement of energy and the three main nadis.
The seed mantra is Lam, the yellow square represents the earth element. The Muladhara chakra governs the vital breath Apana. An inverted triangle in the centre of the square encloses the unmanifest Kundalini, represented as a snake wrapped in three and a half coils around the svayambhu (self born) linga. Because her mouth faces downward, the flow of energy is downward.
The opening at the entrance of the sushumna is called brahma-dvara, the door of Brahma, which is closed by the coils of the sleeping Kundalini. As soon as one begins working with Muladhara chakra, this dormant energy awakens, raises its head and flows freely into the channel of Sushumna, the central nerve canal that runs along the spine. These two aspects of the kundalini: sleeping and waking, are identified as her “poison” and her “nectar.” The kundalini is poison when she remains asleep in the lower abdomen; she is nectar when she rises up through Sushumna, the medial channel, to reunite with Siva, the Absolute, in the yogin’s cranial vault.
In the pericarp is found the presiding deity Brahma, the lord of creation. His skin is the color of wheat, he wears a yellow dhoti and a green scarf. Brahma is four-faced, four-armed, holding in his upper left hand a lotus flower, the symbol of purity.
