Missions Conference 2025 – 4/2/2025"Are you a Helper or a Hindrance?"– Brother Corley, Missionary to Colorado3 John 1:1–13It seems the Apostle John believed in absolute truth.We can stand strong on the Truth because of Jesus Christ.There appears to be a kind of "partial Christianity"—but that is not biblical.Truth comes from God. As best we can, we must align ourselves with God's truth.Do you want to be a believer who lives by the truth?God's truth exists to shine light on the lies of this world.We are to be after a godly sort (v. 6).We are to be fellowhelpers to the truth (v. 8).You become a hindrance when you make church about you (vv. 9–11).Don't follow that which is evil.Be a fellowhelper to the truth.

"With All Boldness and Without Hindrance." We'll explore the courage and perseverance of the Apostle Paul, and how we can apply these lessons to boldly live out our faith, no matter the obstacles. Don't miss this inspiring message!

Ephesians is brilliant. It is the revelation or uncovering of the master plan of Jesus to unite heaven and earth, Jews and Gentiles, for a lasting mission of good works. The themes of Ephesians of adoption, heirs with Jesus, Spirit, resurrection power and so many more enlighten the believer's faith and equip them for every good work.

As we continue to look at overcoming the greatest hindrance to moving forward, we'll see how sin crept into the church from the very beginning. God clearly revealed to the believers then that sin has no place in the church body. We'll also ask and answer the question, “How does someone step out onto the path that leads to sin against God?” Learning to recognize the pathway that leads to sin can help us avoid stepping onto it.  

Peter's story is one of the most comforting in the Bible – not because he got everything right, but because he didn't.He walked on water, but then sank. He tried to defend Jesus with a sword, but Jesus corrected him. And when it mattered most, he denied even knowing Jesus – not once, but three times.Yet, Jesus still chose him. Peter went on to perform miracles, preach boldly, and even write part of the Bible.“God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty.” –1 Corinthians 1:27Your failures don't disqualify you. God still has a plan.

Text: Mark 6:1-6  A lesson from our adult Sunday school class through the book of Mark 

A cavity begins beneath the surface of your tooth and, if not dealt with, can become a major problem. In the same way, sin in the lives of God‘s people can lead to disaster if not addressed. This powerful passage in Joshua 7 helps us understand God's view of sin and its impact on God's people.

Time is but an illusion, a "sleight of hand," that fools us into thinking that what is long gone is still here now. The dream of the hell of death was such an illusion, long ago corrected, that we scarcely remember that there is no death, and the Son of God, which is our only Identity, is immortal and free.  This Section V in Chapter 26, "The Little Hindrance," discusses this very mistake we made to bring the past into the present, and our "forgetting" that God gave us an Answer to this one mistake the instant we made it. We are actually in this present Heaven even though we expend a lot of energy to deny it.  The Miracles always take us in the direction of Liberation from the "hell" we made up, Liberation from “death,” which is not actually here, even though we have made up a "demonstration" to "prove" hell's "reality." We can stop these projections in the Present Grace of Heaven Now. Time is but an illusion to waste, by maintaining the "separation" that never really occurred. Can we wake up into the Present? Now is this decision to be made, once and for all. We claim our Immortality now.

Birds primarily rely on sight and sound to evade predators. We know that ruffed grouse are far more jumpy in high winds because their hearing is impaired. Living in dense cover has heightened their dependence on sound. In my opinion, their sense of hearing is often greater than sight. When we factor in transgenerational stress inheritance, we gain insight into sound's profound impact on ruffed grouse hunting.  No matter how good the dog's work may be, its bell's jingle alerts grouse. The birds understand the threat, beginning evasive movements well before a dog has a chance to catch scent. Between scenting conditions, bird locations, and weather, a million variables stack up against us in unknown ways. These odds are daunting enough to dissuade us from adding another variable that would put a dog at an inherent disadvantage. However, the efficiency of killing is far from the pinnacle of the true love of grouse hunting, and interpreting the language of a dog bell is often part of that joy.  Bells, talking, and walking through cover all impact grouse well before contacts are made. This is no new theory, and while I have experimented in recent years by leaving the dog bell in the truck, one can go back as far as the late 1800s to read from our forefathers on the topic of grouse and sound.

Scheim and Lanni are still reacting to the Patriots' Thursday night loss to the Jets and harp on the struggles from Jacoby Brissett even with a bad offensive line. Then, Scheim harps on Alex Van Pelt's decisions and play calling for the biggest reason for a bad offensive showing. And, the drum continues to bang for Drake Maye's development increasing by actually starting.

Norman Ohler's latest work, "Tripped: Nazi Germany, the CIA, and the Dawn of the Psychedelic Age," delves into the shadowy history of LSD, tracing its origins from the laboratories of Nazi Germany to its pivotal role in shaping U.S. drug policy through the CIA's MKUltra program. This book explores how the Nazis' initial interest in psychedelics for mind control evolved into a tool for psychological warfare, eventually influencing America's stance on psychedelic drugs during the Cold War. Ohler's meticulous research uncovers the hidden connections between these historical adversaries, revealing how the quest for a 'truth serum' and mind control techniques not only delayed therapeutic psychedelic research but also laid foundational elements for the War on Drugs. "Tripped" continues Ohler's theme of examining history through the lens of substance use, offering a provocative narrative that challenges conventional historical narratives and highlights the profound impact of drug policy on societal development.   Norman's Books: https://www.normanohler.de/books_overview_en   Work With Me: Mineral Balancing HTMA Consultation: https://www.integrativethoughts.com/category/all-products  My Instagram: @integrativematt My Website: Integrativethoughts.com   Advertisements:   Viva Rays: Use Code ITP for a Discount https://vivarays.com/   Zeolite Labs Zeocharge: Use Code ITP for 10% off https://www.zeolitelabs.com/product-page/zeocharge?ref=ITP Magnesium Breakthrough: Use Code integrativethoughts10 for 10% OFF https://bioptimizers.com/shop/products/magnesium-breakthrough Just Thrive: Use Code ITP15 for 15% off https://justthrivehealth.com/discount/ITP15 Therasage: Use Code Coffman10 for 10% off https://www.therasage.com/discount/COFFMAN10?rfsn=6763480.4aed7f&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=6763480.4aed7f   Chapters: 00:00 Personal Connections to Flint and the Water Crisis 08:17 The History of Pharmaceuticals and LSD 19:58 The Negative Impact of the War on Drugs 27:19 The Potential Benefits of Microdosing LSD 29:32 The CIA's Experimentation with LSD 32:55 LSD's Spread in the Cultural Scene 36:49 The Illegal Market and Availability of LSD 41:48 LSD's Potential in Treating Neurodegenerative Diseases 47:17 The FDA and the Hindrance to Progress 50:13 The Erosion of Democracy and the Need for a Psychedelic Revolution   Takeaways: The conversation touches on personal connections to Flint, Michigan, and the impact of the Flint water crisis. They discuss the history of pharmaceuticals and the early research on LSD, including its origins in Nazi Germany and its use by the American military and intelligence agencies. The negative consequences of the war on drugs and the need for a more responsible approach to substances are highlighted. The potential benefits of microdosing LSD and its effects on mental health are explored. LSD was explored by the CIA as a potential truth serum and mind-control tool, but it did not meet their expectations. LSD can provide therapeutic benefits when used in a controlled and supportive environment, allowing individuals to gain insights into themselves and the world around them. The CIA's involvement with LSD led to its spread in the cultural scene, particularly during the 1960s and 70s, where it became associated with the anti-war movement. The American government made LSD illegal due to its popularity and perceived threat to their war plans, but illegal LSD chemists continued to supply the substance. LSD has shown promise in reducing neuroinflammation and enhancing neuroplasticity, making it a potential treatment for neurodegenerative diseases. The rejection of psychedelic medicines by regulatory bodies like the FDA is seen as a hindrance to progress and a reflection of the influence of pharmaceutical companies. The erosion of democracy and the current political climate are seen as obstacles to the psychedelic revolution that could lead to positive societal change.   Keywords: Flint, Michigan, water crisis, pharmaceuticals, LSD, Nazi Germany, CIA, mind control, microdosing, LSD, CIA, truth serum, mind control, therapeutic benefits, insights, cultural scene, anti-war movement, illegal, neuroinflammation, neuroplasticity, neurodegenerative diseases, FDA, pharmaceutical companies, democracy, political climate, societal change  

Like a skilled hunter, satan observes and considers us to make his most powerful attacks, to hinder us, to tempt us, and to take us as prey. But God has His hand on us. There is no reason why we should be under this kind of attack unless we have a part in God's kingdom. There is a battle for us, and we need to take spiritual inventory so we can see where the battle is. We cannot fight the devil in the flesh, but in unity with Christ. The battle is the Lord's.

Satan uses devices to get an advantage of the saints; Doubt, Pride, including Spiritual Pride, Temptation, including No Temptation, Hindrance and Fear. Put on the whole armor of God, keeping in mind that the war is for souls. When equipped with the promises and the armor of God the Saints are able to fight and satan will flee, even if only for a season.
