Knowing God's Will v1
The document provides an overview of seeking and knowing God's will. It discusses the different types of God's will, including his fulfilled will through Jesus, revealed will found in scripture, and specific will for individual lives. Fulfilling God's revealed will means placing Christ first, loving God, being thankful, making disciples, and living holy lives. Parents have a responsibility to bring up children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord. Living together as a Christ-centered family allows parents to instruct children according to scripture so they can shine as lights in the world.
God's Love
1) The world faces many problems like war, poverty, and injustice that human efforts alone cannot solve. God has a plan to restore order and humanity's relationship with Him.
2) God created humans in His image to be good and to have fellowship with Him, but sin disrupted this. However, God continued to offer grace and protection to humans.
3) God sent Jesus Christ to overcome sin and evil. By accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior, individuals can experience God's love and allow His plan of restoration to begin in their lives.

Appointed Time of Favor
Bishop Earnest L. Palmer preached that according to Psalm 102:18, God will have mercy on Zion and favor her because the appointed time has come.

It analyzes passages from Psalms that describe how the Israelites limited God through disobedience, forgetfulness, unbelief, insincerity, and the condition of their hearts. The document defines what it means to limit God and provides examples from the Bible. It suggests two ways to take the limits off God: 1) Considering that God is all-powerful and nothing is too hard for Him. 2) Trusting Him completely and believing He can do impossible things.

Passion for worship
This document discusses developing a passionate worship of God. It outlines that passionate worship comes from having a strong love for God that is deeper than any other passion. It also requires getting to know God intimately through Scripture and experiencing His presence. The document provides biblical examples of passionate worship and defines it as enthusiastic, heartfelt worship with one's whole being. It then lists seven keys to unlocking a passionate worship: fervently loving God, knowing Him deeply, thirsting and hungering for more of Him, worshipping even in hard times, loving His presence, being filled with the Holy Spirit, and remembering His wonders.
Jehovah Shalom
There are restlessness and worrying in the world today, in our surroundings, in our lives – caused by many problems.
Jehovah Adonai
God is referred to as both Jehovah and Adonai. Jehovah emphasizes God as the source of wisdom, while Adonai emphasizes God's ownership of the world and demands absolute obedience as our master and creator. As Adonai, God made us and everything belongs to him, so he has the right to rule over our lives.
Disciplevswild
This document discusses Jesus being led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil for 40 days. It outlines three stages in Israel's journey from Egypt (imprisonment), to the wilderness (challenges and preparation), to the promised land (prosperity). The wilderness represents surviving day to day, waiting for answers to prayer, mediocrity, and ineffective ministry. Jesus withstood three temptations from the devil by relying on scripture. Surviving the wilderness can make believers strong so they can move into the promised land of an effective, spirit-filled life.
I Am Saved Now What!?
God's ultimate goal for believers is to become like Christ through spiritual growth and development of Christ-like character. We are saved by Jesus, our Savior and Lord, and must cooperate with the Holy Spirit's work to put off our old selves and put on the new self. God uses His word, people, and circumstances to mold us into Christ's image through a long and slow lifelong process of character development.
Develop Your Prayer of Faith
This document discusses developing a prayer of faith. It explains that through Christ's sacrifice, there is forgiveness and healing for all who accept it by faith. It references James 5:13-15 about praying for the sick and anointing them with oil. Developing a prayer of faith means having confidence in God's word, knowing God's will and receiving it through prayer, and praying God's word back to him as it will not return void. An example is given of a woman who was healed after 12 years because she had faith touching Jesus would heal her. Hindrances to prayer of faith include unforgiveness and doubt.
Releasing God's Power Thru Prayer With Fasting
A discussion on prayer would not be complete without including a subject that is important companion to prayer in the Bible which is FASTING
Sermon by Pastor Ariel Mendi
Paghahanda Para Sa Buhay Natin Sa Langit
Life is temporary let's prepare for heaven, the permanent residence for believers
Perks of having God's Righteousness
Why do we have to accept God's righteousness when we can have our own righteousness? Well there are few good benefits.
God’s Righteousness and Self Righteousness
The document summarizes a parable from Luke 18:9-14 about a Pharisee and tax collector who went to the temple to pray. The Pharisee boasted of his righteousness through fasting and tithing, while the tax collector humbly beat his breast and asked for God's mercy as a sinner. Jesus said the tax collector, not the Pharisee, was justified by God, showing that humility rather than self-righteousness is accepted by God.

God’s Provisions Through Obedience
This Abraham's secret of inheriting God's favor and blessing. This my sermon outline for Sunday service on April 12, 2015
Resurrection before Dawn
The women came to Jesus' tomb early on the first day of the week while it was still dark, despite obstacles. Upon arriving, they found the stone rolled away from the tomb and Jesus' body missing. That evening, Jesus appeared to the disciples and showed them his hands and side, offering them his peace. The passage encourages believers to humbly come to Jesus even when afraid, as he will give victory over all obstacles and trials.
Is the Bible true?
The document discusses evidence that supports the validity and authority of the Bible. It notes that the Bible has endured for centuries, is consistent with historical accounts, and contains scientific and medical knowledge that was well ahead of its time. Archaeological findings have also corroborated many biblical claims. The document argues this evidence demonstrates the Bible is truly God-breathed and that trying it for oneself can reveal its spiritual blessings and power to transform lives.
Moving up Through Consecration
Joshua told the Israelites to consecrate themselves in preparation for what would happen tomorrow. He said the LORD would do amazing things among them. Joshua instructed the priests to carry the ark of the covenant and lead the people. When the priests' feet touched the water, the Jordan River stopped flowing and the Israelites were able to cross over on dry ground, submitting to God's power and guidance.

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.

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.

THE IMPORTANCE OF AWARENESS AND CONSCIOUSNESS

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.
