God introduced the concept of TEMPLES to the human race from the very beginning, which is why you see temples in every ancient culture and religion. Even if the religion is corrupted, man has an understanding of the fundamental concept of a temple as it is part of God's original general revelation to mankind. A TEMPLE is designed to be a DWELLING PLACE of GOD, and God introduced TEMPLES to reveal His ULTIMATE PURPOSE for mankind. God created man to be His TEMPLE, and now His plan is to redeem us, so that we might be the DWELLING PLACE of God, that God would dwell with us and IN US! In salvation, the forgiveness of sin is just the beginning, the necessary preparation in order to make possible the fulfilment of His ultimate purpose - that we might become the holy Temples of the Living God. Each Temple of God was a visual aid, a teaching tool, designed to reveal what it means to be a Temple of God (the nature, design and operation of a temple). Ultimately, these temples are all revelations of redeemed MAN in Christ – God's ultimate and eternal Dwelling Place, which we see fulfilled in Rev 21-22. All the earthly temples of God are pictures of God's ultimate eternal TEMPLE – redeemed MANKIND in Christ. We are designed to be Temples of the Living God, so that God might dwell in us and be glorified through us. The EARTHLY Temples were made according to a HEAVENLY blueprint – the HEAVENLY Temple (Heb 8:5). So, earthly Temples are images of the heavenly Temple (Mount Zion, the New Jerusalem), both of which are pictures of God's ultimate eternal Temple – redeemed MAN in Christ. The Bible describes a sequence of earthly Temples, which are patterned after the heavenly Temple, and all these earthly and heavenly Temples are pictures (revelations) of God's ultimate eternal Temple – redeemed MAN. The ultimate fulfilment in Christ is not just that we individually are Temples of God, but that God joins all redeemed humanity in Christ together into a union, so that together, we all form one great corporate Temple of God, Christ & His Body - the Dwelling Place of God forever. This is God's vision for mankind. All the different temples have different characteristics, each providing different pieces of the complete picture. They all harmonise together, but each one carries only part of the whole revelation of God's ultimate Temple. To get the full picture of what we are called to be, we must put together what each temple reveals. The main earthly temples are: (1) The Garden of Eden, (2) Mount Sinai, (3) The Tabernacle of Moses, (4) the 1st Temple of Solomon, (5) the 2nd Temple (Herod's Temple), (6) the 3rd (Tribulation) Temple, (4) the 4th (Millennial) Temple. Individually, we are Temples of God, and God is also fitting us together as living stones to form one great ultimate Temple of God (1Peter 2:5). We understand spiritual things by their physical analogy, so by understanding all the analogies (the earthly and heavenly temples) we can learn much about God's ultimate Temple (the Church), and we will understand how we are designed to be God's Temple, and how everything works and connects together. Basically, a Temple has 2 PARTS: (1) the Temple BUILDING, and (2) the GOD who dwells within the Temple, for a Temple is the Dwelling Place of God: “(2) the LORD GOD Almighty and (1) the LAMB (Christ and those who are in Christ) are its TEMPLE” (Rev 21:22). A Temple is a Holy Place, for God's PRESENCE dwells within the Temple, and His GLORY shines out from the Temple, sometimes represented as RIVERS of LIVING WATER flowing out from the Temple (Gen 2:10, Ezek 47, Joel 3:18, Rev 22:1-2, John 7:37-39). Through the New Covenant, established by Jesus Christ, His believers become Temples of the Living God, indwelt by the Spirit of God. This is God's plan & purpose for man coming to pass – that God would dwell in man, that man would become a Temple of God. Jesus came & died & rose again to make this possible (1Cor 3:16-17: 6:17-20, 2Cor 6:16, Rev 21:3). Man is the ultimate Temple of God, so all the other temples are teaching tools to reveal God's purpose for man, and how man is designed to connect with God and function under the grace and power of God. Jesus came as a sinless man, the PROTOTYPE TEMPLE of God, a man indwelt by and filled with the Spirit of God - showing us what man is meant to be like. He declared He was a TEMPLE of God (John 8:12). By His death & resurrection, Jesus multiplied and reproduced Himself in us (John 12:23-24). Through the New Birth the Holy Spirit indwells every believer, making us all into Temples of God. The Spirit is the Fountain of living waters within us (Jer 2:13, 17:13), a continual Source of outpoured grace (rivers of life) flowing into our heart, causing us to worship God & empowering us to serve Him. (John 4:13-14). So now there are many Temples, and God is building us all together into one great Temple (Christ) – His ultimate Purpose.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 15, 2024 is: rendition ren-DISH-un noun A rendition, simply put, is the act or result of rendering something. That thing may be a performance or interpretation, a depiction, or a translation. In US law, rendition refers to the surrender by a state of a fugitive to another state that is charging the fugitive with a crime. // Their signature meat loaf is a fine rendition of a classic recipe. // Theatergoers have been eager for an English rendition of the acclaimed French play. See the entry > Examples: "Clement Scott, Dorothy Stewart, and Maewa Kahihau wrote 'Now Is the Hour' in the early 20th century. Bing Crosby recorded one of the most famous renditions of the song in the late 1940s." — Matthew Strauss, Pitchfork, 7 Feb. 2024 Did you know? When a singer performs their rendition of someone else's song, or a chef adds a few twists to someone else's recipe to concoct their own unique rendition, each is—in a sense—returning: returning to something old in order to create something new. Fittingly, the word rendition, which has been part of English since at least the early 1600s, traces back ultimately to the Latin verb reddere, meaning "to return." Reddere is also the ancestor of the English verb render, whose many meanings include "to give a performance of" and "to give up or yield." Although render took a different path from reddere than did rendition, it's perhaps no surprise that the latter fundamentally means "an act or result of rendering something," and may be applied to everything from a performance, depiction, or translation of something, to a surrender (surrender being another reddere descendent), as in "fugitives awaiting rendition to a neighboring state."
This is the Catchup on 3 Things by The Indian Express and I'm Ichha Sharma.Today is the 27th of September and here are this week's headlines.India and China are learnt to have made “significant progress” in narrowing their gap on pending issues along the Line of Actual Control in eastern Ladakh. The Indian Express has learnt, this includes exploring the contors of a possible solution that factors in their respective pre-April 2020 positions while agreeing to address existing issues in Arunachal Pradesh. Sources said this might imply that Indian troops, whose access to certain patrolling points along the LAC were blocked either by Chinese troops or due to the implementation of the buffer zones created in the backdrop of disengagement at specific friction points, might be close to accessing them again.The Indian Express obtained exclusive details about Mumbai's Ring Road masterplan, developed by MMRDA, which outlines an extensive network of road connectivity across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. This ambitious plan stretches from the Vadodara border in Gujarat to Alibaug in the Konkan region of Maharashtra, encompassing Navi Mumbai and Thane. The intricate network includes roads, flyovers, reclaimed coastal routes, bridges, and underwater tunnels, all designed to alleviate the city's notorious traffic bottlenecks by 2029. Once completed, this infrastructure project is expected to significantly transform the island city and its surrounding areas. It is expected to not only reduce congestion but also enhance public transport accessibility, making travel more convenient for residents and commuters alike.The CBI is probing the sale and disposal of biomedical waste as part of its alleged corruption case at Kolkata's R G Kar Medical College and Hospital, the epicentre of a political firestorm after last month's rape and murder of a medical intern there. An investigation by The Indian Express has revealed, a little-known company, SNG Envirosolutions, could hold one key to this. The company grew to handle up to 70% of waste from government hospitals across the state, including at RG Kar, without owning a single waste treatment plant, in violation of its contract's terms.Meanwhile, the Film Federation of India, the apex body responsible for selecting India's official entry for the Best Foreign Film Category at the 97th Academy Awards, announced Laapataa Ladies as India's official entry to the Academy Awards at an event in Chennai on Monday. Directed by Kiran Rao and produced by Aamir Khan, Laapataa Ladies chronicles the story of two young newlywed brides, who get exchanged during a train ride to their husband's homes. Twelve Hindi films, 6 Tamil and 4 Malayalam films were among the 29 films whying for the honour of being India's official entry for 97th Oscar ceremony.On the global front, Israel on Thursday rejected calls for a three-week ceasefire from across the global community, defying its biggest ally, the United States. In US to address the UN General Assembly, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told reporters that the military will keep hitting Hezbollah with “full force” and stated, quote, “We will not stop until we achieve all our goals, first and foremost returning the residents of the north safely to their homes.” Israel has continued its airstrikes in Lebanon, amid fears of an all-out regional war breaking out. This was the Catch Up on 3 Things by The Indian Express.

US futures are indicating a softer open today. European markets are lower, following Thursday's gains. Asian markets finished mixed. The focus today is on the BoJ decision, where no changes to policy were made, as widely expected. The policy statement was notably brief, with no forward guidance, leaving market participants evaluating the broader impact of the Fed's outsized rate cut. The BoE is tipped to cut rates again in November after leaving policy unchanged on Thursday. In US, optimism around a potential soft landing continues to drive rotation into big tech and cyclical stocks, while defensives are being sold off. There is growing anticipation around the Fed's next steps, particularly how these cuts might impact inflation and economic growth in the coming quarters.Companies Mentioned: Battalion Oil
Join us for part three and the final clip from my interview with Hannah James, a strong woman of the faith, with beautiful wisdom, insight, and revelations that will help us all find comfort and accountability in walking closely with the Lord. “The corporate church is a little ill and wounded right now, and we are praying for her to heal.” Doesn't the Lord promise that he will come back for a spotless bride? What exactly does this mean? In this final clip, we talk about how both of us in different seasons walked away as we believed that we were written off, “I was already worthless, so what was the point??” We don't always hear the toxic nature of beliefs and thoughts like this, that are so counterintuitive to who scriptures tell us that he is and the way that he loves us, so. “He loves us because he loves us” - Shauna recalls a pastor praying this over her. We can't do anything to not get it. We can't earn his love, he already gave it to us. His love for us never changes. We must learn to invite Jesus into our everyday moments, because he knows our exact heart in each of them, When we do, we have clearer and more consistent opportunities for obedience, not just in the big things but in the seemingly minuscule things. Like doom-scrolling, shopping, moments of double-mindedness, wrestling in the spirit and truth, honoring him in each moment, etc. He is the same, we are different and we change, but he doesn't so we can continue to trust him in each moment. We also discuss the power of healing that starts on the individual level, and if we continue to seek the gifting more than we seek him then our identity is found in what we can do for HIM, and not what he wants to do IN US. Our gifting is a responsibility to edify the church. If you think you have done things that have counted you completely out, “I'm not deserving, I am not worth it.” In the name of Jesus, our Savior and our Lord, who came in the flesh and resurrected us, we break that off of you NOW. We proclaim that we are the children of God that creation has been waiting for. _________________ Join us every Wednesday to be encouraged as you take steps in your faith, remembering that He is the God that Sees You, and He is the God that Sees Me, too.

Keir Starmer is due to snap us back to reality after the Bank Holiday with a stark speech on the decade needed to clean up the Tories' mess. What's he going to say – and why now? In US news, Trump has basically dumped JD Vance for RFK Jr. – but will this improve his chances against Harris and Walz? Plus, clashes between Hezbollah and Israel signal an escalation in the Middle East. How concerned should we be? And, looking to Ukraine, how is the Ukrainian incursion on Russia progressing?

Few subjects in Christianity have as much confusion, mystery, or just lack of knowledge around it as the topic of the Holy Spirit. So, in this series, we're going to address it head-on, and explore what the Bible says about the oftentimes “forgotten” Third Person of the Trinity: God the Holy Spirit. In this message, we see that once the Holy Spirit has come to indwell believers in Jesus Christ, things begin to change within us. Once we know who He is and what He does in an overarching sense, we can look more personally at the next question, "What does the Holy Spirit do IN US?" The answer: He begins to produce the Fruit of the Spirit. Healthy things grow. So, if we're spiritually healthy, these things will begin to grow in our lives. We hope you're encouraged by this podcast! If you have questions about our church or what it means to follow Jesus, we'd love to hear from you!

US futures are pointing to a slightly higher open today. European equity markets have opened mixed, following lower levels in Asian markets. US dollar is flat, while Asia currencies have seen modest gains. Hawkish ECB officials reportedly regretted premature rate cut commitment. In US, markets back to pricing in two Fed rate cuts by end-2024.Companies Mentioned: Patria Investments, Piper Sandler
The nature of US society tends naturally toward pluralism. However, our stand on pluralism must go way beyond tolerance of “the other.” In US law, individuals have rights. Group rights, however, have proven problematic. A talk from Rev. Dr. David Breeden. The post The Ethical Imperative of Pluralism appeared first on First Unitarian Society of Minneapolis.
The Journey Podcast 150. Dr. John Brady: A Deep Dive into the Mind of Sirhan Sirhan Publisher Kris Millegan speaks with Dr. John Brady, a licensed forensic psychologist, true crime writer, Doctor of Criminology, and celebrity analyst. His upcoming book is PSYCHOLOGICAL DNA: A Cold Case Analysis of Who Killed Robert F. Kennedy, being released June 5, 2024. Using modern criminological methods and new psychological assessment tools not available five decades ago, Dr. Brady has reassessed Sirhan' s mental state and arrived at five mental conditions that, in his opinion, if presented at trial could have changed the jury' s verdict and spared Sirhan five and a half decades in prison. John wrote an earlier book, KLEPT0 BISMO: Big Pharma, Shoplifting and Psychiatric Deception, about the people, though well off, even wealthy, who had been arrested for shoplifting. They were all on psychiatric drugs for things like anxiety and depression. The point is made that the US is 4% of the world's population, but we consume 60% of all medications, and half of those are psychoactive drugs used to treat anxiety and other conditions. Many of the thieves referred to him for treatment had been in state institutions, where, they said, psychoactive drugs were more available than on the street. In US correctional institutions, the states spend $9 billion dollars on psychiatric drugs to manage and control inmate populations. These drugs may help some people in the short-term. But in the long run they may precipitate unwanted behaviors such as crime; for instance, nine out of ten mass shooters had been prescribed some form of psychiatric medication for things like anxiety or depression. When a grad student, John's major professor was Bernard Diamond, chief psychiatrist for Sirhan Sirhan's defense team, who would conduct seminars on the defense team's strategies, introducing John to the case very early. His interest was percolated recently due to articles concerning whether Sirhan actually killed Robert F. Kennedy. John's focus is on the psychological aspects of Sirhan's personality. During Sirhan's trial, there was no unanimity of diagnosis among the ten doctors who examined him. They tried to label him as paranoid schizophrenic, but later it was established that he had none of the symptoms associated with that. Thinking that something was missing, John researched what was said at the trial, what the diagnoses were at the time, and why the case was mishandled in terms of coming up with a true diagnosis. John found that Sirhan had five conditions that were not diagnosed at the trial. Sirhan, John diagnoses, had two distinct personalities, one pretty good and one pretty bad, and the bad one committed the murder unbeknownst to the good personality; Sirhan formed the bad personality early in life to preserve himself from the trauma he experienced when he was in Palestine, when there was murder and mayhem all around him. This personality became the evil Sirhan as opposed to the benevolent or ordinary Sirhan. Kris and John also discuss the girl in the polka dot dress, the overwhelming evidence of multiple shooters in the pantry, the seeming consensus among researchers that security guard Thane Eugene Cesar next to and behind RFK shot him, the evidence that Sirhan was a mind-controlled patsy with no intent to harm anyone, and Lee Harvey Oswald, Charles Whitman (the Texas Tower shooter), and Mark David Chapman (John Lennon's alleged shooter). #TrineDay #TrineDayPublishing #PsychologicalDNA #WhoKilledRobertFKennedy #SirhanSirhan #MKUltraMindControl #ManchurianCandidate #MindControlledPatsy #JohnFKennedy #LeeHarveyOswald #MarkDavidChapman #JohnLennon
Bitcoin is off on one its runs, it seems. Congratulations to all who bought and held. It is now trading at all-time highs in 30 different currencies around the world, currencies representing more than 60% of the world's population. How about that for a thought?From China and India to Congo and Sudan, it's like a Noel Coward song.In US dollars, we are flirting with $60,000, still roughly 15% from the peak of US$69,000, the all-time high back in late 2021.In British pounds, the all-time high was around £48,000. We are touching that now.Meanwhile, Microstrategy (NDX.MSTR), which we suggested as a means to play bitcoin via a traditional broker, and avoid the FCA-created headaches of buying and investing bitcoin in the UK, is going great guns. $960 now. It was $350 when we first recommended it in the summer. Is it too late to buy?No. I haven't been asked on TV to talk about it yet. See me on the box, then you can start getting concerned that the top is near. (Here's one from BBC Daily Politics towards the end of a previous cycle. Chief Economist Dr Savvas Savouri. LOL)There is no doubt that the market is hot, hot, hot at the moment, and when markets get this hot, that usually means it's time to back off. Cripes, the amount of excitement on social media is screaming run away. But bitcoin is like one of those metals - tungsten or tantalum - which can withstand abnormally high levels of heat. The evidence of previous bull markets is that bitcoin gets overbought and stays overbought.It's usually better to buy when the markets are quiet, when nobody cares. But that is not where we now are.I have repeatedly argued that the risk with bitcoin is not owning it; it is not owning it. That hopefully makes sense in print. The potential of this thing is so abnormally huge, why would you not want to have a position?We are talking about the most technologically brilliant system of money ever invented. Own a piece of the pie.Why bitcoin will supercede other moniesRemember the old rhyme: Money is a matter of functions four:A medium, a measure, a standard and a store.National currencies are a good-ish medium of exchange - within national borders. But even then, they have their shortcomings. They are useless for micropayments. The smallest amount you can pay in the UK is 1p. Most banks and credit card companies won't even process amounts that small. Even medium-sized transactions can be problematic. I wasted about an hour of my life this morning on the phone to Lloyds Bank as their security blocked a transfer of £3,950 that I was trying to make. In the grand context of things, that is not a huge sum, but Lloyds' alarms went off and that was it. One hour gone. (During my peak productive time too. That's one of the reasons this missive is late).But for cross-border transactions, national currencies are crap. Forex fees, paperwork, slow transaction speeds. If I want to send a payment to someone who operates with a different currency of, say, £1, via a bank, the costs are prohibitive. Revolut is about my only option - and that has issues. If I want to send a micropayment of, say, one-tenth of a cent, it is just impossible. But industries based around micropayments are a huge area of potential growth, especially in a world of artificial intelligence and the internet of things: streaming, apps, games, in-app and in-game purchases, rewards, likes, donations, tipping, credit card verification, identity verification, wifi access, public document access, libraries, parking, phone calls, public transport, pay-per-use in cloud computing, exchange of or access to information via the internet of things, content licensing, ad-free browsing, access to news and journalism. These are all areas that will see enormous use for micropayments.National currencies do not enable the micropayments economy, they are a barrier to it, especially across borders.At then other end of the scale, somebody just transferred the bitcoin equivalent of $1.3bn for a fee of $2. It took a minute or two. No forms, permits or declarations were required. You can send huge amounts or tiny amounts of money across borders for a fraction of the effort. Bitcoin is a good medium of exchange for the internet. It will only get better.You should subscribe to this letter. It's really good.And what a store of value!The pound has lost a third of its purchasing power just since 2020, according to Truflation. Since Jan 2020 bitcoin meanwhile has gone from £5,000 to almost £50,000. Which is the better store of value? Measured in the constant that is gold, the pound has lost 90% of its purchasing power just this century (Gold was £150/oz in 1999. Today it is over £1,500/oz). Meanwhile, since its inception in 2009, bitcoin has been the world's best performing asset. So what if it's volatile.Finally, we have the last two functions of money: measure and standard. A measure - in other words, a unit of account - needs to be constant to be effective. National currencies, because of the constant debasement, fail in this regard. Statisticians and economists have to resort to “inflation-adjusted dollars”, but not everybody agrees as to what inflation actually is, never mind the inflation rate. Bitcoin has not attained widespread unit of account status yet, but its finite supply will, eventually, make it a more constant unit. As for standard, that is coming too - whether as a standard of deferred payment or a standard as in the gold standard. Its independence and ever-increasing purchasing power will see to that. But this evolution, even if inevitable - technology is destiny, after all - will take many years yet, which is another reason I argue that it is not too late to take the orange pill.By the way, there are many people who are so sure that bitcoin is going to a million dollars, they are now measuring the bitcoin price thus: $0.05m. How about that for a unit and a standard?The point I am eventually trying to get to is this. Institutions and individuals tend to hold their savings in fiat dollars, pounds, euros, or yen. Corporations keep their treasuries in fiat. In doing so, even with interest, you are losing 5 to 10% per annum to currency debasement. This is guaranteed. Imagine being a Japanese corporation holding your treasury in yen. Michael Saylor, meanwhile, in keeping the corporate treasury of Microstrategy in bitcoin, indeed issuing paper to buy more bitcoin, has 10xd his company's valuation in four years. Microstrategy has gone from a $1.4bn to a $14bn market cap. Do you not think other CEOs will follow suit?Bitcoin is becoming an an online savings vehicle, the default online savings vehicle - ahead of fiat. When other large corporations and billionaires start keeping their treasuries in bitcoin as a norm - we are still a few years from that - then is when the price moonshots and hyperbitcoinisation happens.Of course, hyperbitcoinisation may not happen. Then again: maybe it will.Where and when does this bull market end?I have mentioned before: there are four typical phases to a bitcoin cycle. * There's the Quiet Accumulation. Few outside of the bubble of ardent bitcoiners take notice, as it discreetly creeps up. * The Frenzy and Blow-Off Top. The price rises accelerate. There is a rush to buy. The media is all over it. Everyone on social media is crowing. There's a huge row about whether bitcoin is in a bubble or not. See 2013, 2017 and 2021 for more details.* The Monster Correction. Bitcoin loses over 70% of its value. Economists who missed the boat go on telly and declare they were right, ignoring the fact that the price to which bitcoin corrected to is several hundred percent above where the quiet accumulation phase began. * The Frustrating Consolidation. Bitcoin goes into a period of range trading, consolidating the gains of the previous bull market. This is a period of relative quiet, at least by bitcoin standards. There are rallies that get many excited, but prove to be false dawns. Investors get frustrated by the grinding action. The media loses interest. Many forget about it, and so we gradually drift into another Quiet Accumulation phase.We are now in the early stages of phase two. This typically comes around halvings, but the ETFs appear to have brought it forward.So what's next and when does this bull market end?There are some obvious numbers to look for. $69,000, the old high. There will be resistance there. As we move towards that number we can expect some selling. Expect volatility.Bt after $69,000, everyone who ever bought bitcoin ever and held is in profit. How about that for a thought?Then $100,000. It is such a big, round number - like $1,000 and $10,000 before it. I'm inclined to think we get there this year.On the downside there should be some support around $52k with the next line in the low- to mid-40s.Bitcoin bear cycles (stage 3 above) tend to last about a year, consolidations about another year. Bull markets tend to last two to three years. This one began 15 months ago. There will be wild whipsaws on the way, but I suggest this phase has a good year to go before it's done.Three years ago $69,000 felt too expensive. It doesn't anymore. I think this bull market ends with bitcoin at six figures.The evidence of previous bull markets is that we overshoot to the upside. But don't expect not to get thrown about along the way.A final thoughtI first heard about bitcoin in December 2010. It was 20c. I didn't really look into it; I just thought it sounded like a cool idea. When I came around to the idea of buying, the price kept going up. I got outbid for some physical bitcoins on eBay, I remember.I couldn't bring myself to buy something after it had doubled and tripled. It went to $32. Then it corrected all the way to $2. I still didn't buy. I had lost interest I think.People were giving me coins at this stage. Trying to get me into it. Then the price started going up again. It went to $200 then $1,200. I ended up writing a book about it. Even though I had a position, I never put the amount of money I should in because I couldn't bring myself to buy something that had gone up so much. I could be a stupendously rich billionaire now, but I was scared off by the price rises. I'm fine by the way. You don't need to worry about me. But I have a fraction of what I might have had. I got hacked as well but that's another story.In December 2017, with bitcoin at $5,000, I went on the BBC Daily Politics show to talk about it. Over the next month, it quadrupled to $20,000, before going into one of its bear phases.Even buying at the very top of that cycle, you would still have tripled your money.Moral of all this: don't be put off by the rising price.Here's that interview again. There's a lot to be learned from it:My 2023 guide to buying bitcoin is here. I'll put an updated one together in the next few days.If you liked this article, please subscribe to the Flying Frisby.

JESUS PEOPLE ARE EMPOWEREDThe Jesus People - Part 1Springcreek Church | Senior Pastor Keith StewartSeptember 24, 2023https://www.springcreekchurch.org/#realspringcreekchurch #bible #thejesuspeople #jesuspeopleareempowered #jesus #father #god #holyspirit #spirit #spiritfilled #presence #church #wearethechurchPeople are hungry for the supernatural and that's evident everywhere you look in society. But the one place where the realness of God should best be understood and experienced is often the very place most bereft of His presence. It's not supposed to be that way. The people of God are meant to be more than just carriers of a message but the very temple of God Himself – the place where God dwells and manifests His presence is supposed to be IN US. This message will show us how. NEW SERIES: The Jesus PeopleIn the late 60's and early 70's, a counter-cultural Christian movement began in California among young people called the Jesus People. It happened at the height of the sexual revolution and drug culture of the time, young people sincerely hungered for the supernatural and were finding it in Jesus even when they couldn't find it in the institutional church. In this series, we want to ask the question, "What does it mean to be the Jesus People today in a world where people seem to have lost their way and find the institutional church irrelevant?" DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. It's always easy to critique what's happening in the world. But in what ways do you see evidence of hunger for the supernatural, even if it is often misdirected and aimed at other things? How does the message of Christ speak into that spiritual hunger?2. God wants to dwell with his people. Pastor Keith pointed out the progression in Scripture from the Garden of Eden to the Tabernacle, then the Temple, followed by the coming of Christ (God with us) and ultimately in our bodies (the new temple of God). Since we are the very repositories of the presence of God, how does that affect the way you see yourself on the job? In your neighborhood? At School? In a crisis? Or in the presence of someone who doesn't know God?3. In the section of the message dealing with discerning the Spirit's presence, Pastor Keith highlighted several things the Scriptures highlight that help us discern what is of God and what is not. He listed several comparisons;• Spirit-centered versus Jesus-centered• Gift-centered versus Fruit-centered• Out-of-Control versus Self-Controlled• Bravado versus PowerWhat were your biggest takeaways from these discernment principles? Have you ever seen any of them abused and if so, in what ways (give an example)? How have you seen these discernment principles positively? Describe a believer you have known who definitely manifested the positive side of these principles.4. In the last section, the story of a man named Stephen was told. He was chosen for a task because he was filled with the Spirit. But that task for which he was chosen was to wait on tables. Why are the Spirit filled the ones who…• do whatever needs to be done.• react gracefully under provocation.• are mighty in the Word.• are like Jesus.5. How has this message challenged you? Where is God asking you to grow? In what ways were you encouraged?

In Jordan Peele's filmography, from "Get Out" to "Candyman," he skillfully weaves horror, social commentary, and symbolism to create compelling narratives. "Get Out" tackles racial tensions, commenting on cultural appropriation and prejudice, while using the sunken place as a metaphor for silenced voices.In "Us," Peele explores duality and identity, using doppelgängers to represent our hidden, darker aspects. The film delves into societal divisions and the idea of being our own worst enemies. Peele's directorial style consistently employs symbolism to provoke deep introspection about contemporary issues.With "Candyman" (produced by Peele), the exploration of racial trauma through the urban legend bridges the past and present, highlighting the cyclical nature of violence and oppression. The film serves as a reminder of the haunting impact of historical injustices on modern society.Through his films, Peele demonstrates his ability to blend horror with thought-provoking social commentary, leaving audiences engaged and reflective long after the screen fades to black.----------Listen to Aaron on his podcast, WSTR: Galactic Public Access----------Support The Cinedicate on PatreonConnect with The Cinedicate on these social platforms!Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cinedicate/Twitter: https://twitter.com/cinedicate/Discord: https://www.cinedicate.com/discord Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

As offshore wind technology continues its global expansion, a noteworthy collaboration has emerged between industry giants GE and Toshiba, who are now partnering to deploy cutting-edge Haliade-X nacelles for Japanese offshore farms. Meanwhile, in Louisiana, discussions are underway for the establishment of up to 5 near-shore wind farms in the Gulf of Mexico, a strategic move that would keep these projects out of federal waters. However, the wind industry and WindEurope have expressed their disapproval of the recent negative bidding process that unfolded for German offshore sites, which has sparked debates. On a brighter note, Swiss-based RigiTech is revolutionizing drone deliveries to offshore turbines, promising improved efficiency and effectiveness. In US waters, tensions arise between worker groups and developers due to the Jones Act, posing challenges to offshore endeavors. In the realm of corporate innovation, Shopify is taking a novel approach to reduce meeting times with an innovative calendar update. Lastly, let's shine a spotlight on our Wind Farm of the Week, the impressive Fowler Ridge 1 project. Sign up now for Uptime Tech News, our weekly email update on all things wind technology.

Super talented and we went to watch the race this weekend up in New, well, when you hear this, it's been a week past, but it was up in New Hampshire, which was fascinating. I haven't been that close to a NASCAR race before. I've watched it on television for years, but it never really been to one. It, it was really cool. It's loud and powerful and there were a couple of really. Significant accidents right, right in front of us near know the start, finish line. It was quite the scare there at the end. But a really, really good time. So we're just gonna keep track of him the next couple of months. It's just interesting to talk to somebody who actually races cars for a living. It's. It's pretty cool. It's kinda like being a lightning engineer. They're cool. But, so this week we talk about a woman being hit by a meteorite in France and then GE and Toshiba are partnering together in Japan to make NA cells, which is Joel Saxum: really cool. And the state of Louisiana taking advantage of its three mile economic zone to install some offshore wind down there. And then we're gonna stay in the offshore wind world and take a peek at the. Auction that just happened over in Germany, and we do call it an auction instead of negative bidding via Rosemary. And then also staying again in the offshore world of RigiTech or RigiTech. We're not really sure which one it is, but drone deliveries right from the vessel all the way up to the nael dropping parts, and most importantly lunches off to technicians Rosemary Barnes: up there. And we're gonna talk about the Jones Act with suspicions that foreign flagged vessels might be being used instead of us made ones in off the US coast, we're gonna talk about Shopify's plans to reduce waste of meetings with unnecessary people involved.

The plan from the beginning was that Holy Spirit would come and empower His people from within. He lives with us and is IN US, and He fills us with the power needed to advance Kingdom Living on the earth. Our ability comes from having spent time with Him in the Secret Place. Ephesians 2:10 tells us that we were created for “Good Works”, and Pastor Dawn shares how we are going to walk in them during this time of restoration on the earth. Watch as the “body” demonstrates Kingdom Living by ministering one unto another. This is Kingdom Living!

Jesus Is For Us, and In Us (audio) David Eells 5/31/23 Emmanuel (God With Us) Winnie Osegueda 5/28/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed that I and a few others were on a train above ground going to the right, and it was a bright sunny day out. We were sitting at a rectangular table with white linen cloth on it. (This is the “right” direction feeding from the pure word.) I heard Debbie Fenske receive a word from the Lord, as she does sometimes, and she said, “Jesus is with us. He is with us!” (In the light, is with the presence of our King. Mat 28:20 teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. And Deu 31:8 Jehovah, he it is that doth go before thee; he will be with thee, he will not fail thee, neither forsake thee: fear not, neither be dismayed.) I suddenly had a revelation that Jesus was truly there with us. My heart was so full and enlarged, and I could feel the presence of the Lord there very strongly. (Mat 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them. Joh 1:14 And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us and we beheld his glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father), full of grace and truth.) I could also feel that He (the Word) was in me, and in us, and was very big, even bigger than me. (1 Joh 4:4 Ye are of God, my little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world.) Thank You, Lord for this reminder that You in us are greater than he that is in the world and that we can overcome the world. A verse that I received by faith at random is: Joh 5:35-36 He was the lamp that burneth and shineth; and ye were willing to rejoice for a season in his light. 36 But the witness which I have is greater than that of John; for the works which the Father hath given me to accomplish, the very works that I do, bear witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. Christ Inspects The Bride Tianna Fire 4/20/23 (David's notes in red) I was at a street view in a major city, where I saw a giant lion about the size of a one-story building walking around. (The lion is Jesus, the lion of Judah.) I was on a corner of three connected streets. (The three connected streets represent a person's mind, will and emotions, represent psuche. Also, Jesus is the cornerstone. Eph 2:19-22 So then ye are no more strangers and sojourners, but ye are fellow-citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, 20 being built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus himself being the chief corner stone; 21 in whom each several building, fitly framed together, groweth into a holy temple in the Lord; 22 in whom ye also are builded together for a habitation of God in the Spirit.) The lion came down the street to my right, (the righteous) and it saw me and stared at me. I knew it was looking directly at me, but I had no fear or any negative feelings. (Christ in you is not fearful of anything, He has already conquered every evil.) 1Jn 4:17 Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as he is, even so are we in this world. 18 There is no fear in love: but perfect love casteth out fear, because fear hath punishment; and he that feareth is not made perfect in love. And 1Co 13:12 For now we see in a mirror, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know fully even as also I was fully known.) The lion stared at me for a long period and then he continued walking where he was going. (Jesus is the just and righteous Judge of the Father's will) NENT Rev 5:5 and one of the elders saith to me, Weep not; lo, the Lion, he of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath overcome to open the booklet and the seven seals thereof.) (When asking the Lord if the lion is Jesus or the enemy I received Dan 7:14 (notice 777) And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.) Our Lives Should Be An Offering Claire Pienaar 5/16/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed that I was on the Zoom Outreach and it was Christmas time (This is for the world Church, as we all await the coming of the man-child. It's at the end of the calendar year with much worldly festivities and distractions.) A man was in the meeting, and he was so quiet and he was sitting in front of the same big bay window that I have seen in my dreams before. It is a window of a hotel resort (for a temporary stay.) He was utterly miserable. He was away with extended family at a resort and these folks did not understand why all the Christmas festivities are wrong, and it upset the man. Julie sent a text to us to pray for him, and we did. (Julie means “child of God”. (The flesh is miserable because he knows he has to die to self and be weak to the weak. As we live in the light of the Word we realize that all these worldly idolatries supposedly in the name of the Lord are wrong and the old man is offended but the world doesn't know better and we are not to judge those who are without.) Then I was walking with my children through a mall or shop boulevard, but it was undercover as it was cold and wintery. I was wearing a black school blazer with black pants and a black long-sleeved T-shirt. (I asked the Lord why I dressed in black. I received this Word by faith at random: Ezekiel 40:39 And in the porch of the gate were two tables on this side, and two tables on that side, to slay thereon the burnt-offering and the sin-offering and the trespass-offering. According to the word received for this dream I thought the black top is burnt offering, the black pants is a sin offering, the black jacket is trespass offering. This is in line with Rom 12:1-2 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service. 2 And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God.) I wanted to show my children the pictures of their baby scans when they were in the womb. I placed the photo on my lap and wanted to take a picture with my phone. My phone screen was black, and the baby scan picture blended so much with my black pants that my phone couldn't recognize the photo and could not focus in on it. (It is not the old man that we want to remember by photos. He is black and the enemy of God. We are hidden in Christ. God saw and formed us and sees us in the new life.) But in the dream I was telling my children that God created them and they are precious and look how small we all start out. It was a precious moment with my children in the dream. (Psa 139:13-17 For thou didst form my inward parts: Thou didst cover me in my mother's womb. 14 I will give thanks unto thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: Wonderful are thy works; And that my soul knoweth right well. 15 My frame was not hidden from thee, When I was made in secret, And curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. 16 Thine eyes did see mine unformed substance; And in thy book they were all written, Even the days that were ordained for me, When as yet there was none of them. 17 How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them!) (I asked the Lord about my children and what they represent, and I received by faith at random John 21:4, in context 4-5 But when day was now breaking, Jesus stood on the beach: yet the disciples knew not that it was Jesus. 5 Jesus therefore saith unto them, Children, have ye aught to eat? They answered him, No.) (So they represent the Children of Jesus.) Then we walked around the boulevard again and came back to a restaurant, and there were two red-haired teenage or young adult men behind me trying to pick-pocket me. (The seed of Esau, who had red hair, continues to try to steal what has been given to those who live the crucified life.) I noticed then that I had so much money flowing out of my pockets. (NENT Joh 10:10 The thief cometh not, but to steal, and kill, and destroy: I came that they may have life, and may have abundance. The Edomites are compulsive thieves and are trying now to steal from us.) There was so much money, and it was all different colours, just like the South African and Australian bank notes. I thought, “I better go count the money to see if anything's stolen” but in the dream, I didn't know how much I had in the first place, because it was a great deal of money that had suddenly appeared. (The FCR will bring this money.) (I asked the Lord for a Word concerning the money, and received this by faith at random: Luke 1:54-55 He hath given help to Israel his servant, That he might remember mercy 55 (As he spake unto our fathers) Toward Abraham and his seed for ever. (The multi-colored money represents the promises of God in His Word through Jesus who gives us “whatsoever we ask for”. 1Jo 5:14-15 And this is the boldness which we have toward him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us: 15 and if we know that he heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions which we have asked of him. The colored notes could also represent the rainbow, which is a promise of protection in future days of judgement. Gen 9:13: I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth. Also all races and colors will partake of the GCR.) We went to a family steakhouse restaurant called “Spur” and tried to find adequate seating. It was busy, and there were many Africans there who were very interested in our money. (A steak house represents killing the flesh life in the fiery trial. The Africans spiritually represent those who walk in darkness who are only interested in the promises, not in sacrificing the self-life. They are spiritually undiscerning and still have a love for the world and worldly things.) Then we saw the same man from the Zoom Outreach who was unhappy about his apostate family. We went to him and prayed for him. We all held hands and prayed in the middle of the restaurant for the oppression to leave. It was short and he was grateful. He said, “Even though I am on holiday with family, I am still so alone”. So, we prayed again and offered him to come sit with us. He did not. We found a little wooden pew, very small and narrow, at the back of this steak house and sat there. (Pews are generally very uncomfortable, but it provides rest. When we present ourselves as a living sacrifice it is very uncomfortable, but we can rest and the promises applicable to us are then multiplied. The promises from the wooden cross is what we rest on.) There were a few Asians and Africans who were sitting in similar pews, waiting for their “food”. As I sat down, I realized that the money must have multiplied now as it was weighing the right side down and it was poking a hole through the inside lining of my jacket. I did not know paper money could make holes in clothing, which tells you how much there was in my blazer pocket. Then I asked the Lord who I represent here or is this dream only for me. I received John 4:21, with my finger on “Woman”, 21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when neither in this mountain, nor in Jerusalem, shall ye worship the Father. Run and Endure the Race Daniel Pienaar 5/17/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed I was running on an athletic track, and then it became a cross-country race. It was so challenging. (Daniel means “God is my judge”.) Every stride I took was such a strain. It was a windy track. I didn't seem to be going fast. (Uneven rugged terrain of cross country is with hills and valleys, and represents the trials and tribulations we will have in this world. Joh 16:33 These things have I spoken unto you, that in me ye may have peace. In the world ye have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.) Then I was back on the athletic track and I was so fast, I even beat Uncle Edwin. (Claire: Edwin means “Wealthy Friend”, and he likely represents the world. He is super-fast and fit in the natural.) (When we go into the wilderness we are in a position of weakness, and we go through many trials and tribulations and it makes our inner man stronger. It all works together for our good so that we may finish the race strong. Getting back on the track represents that the faith of rest empowered Daniel. Maybe it also represents the outpouring of the latter rain and many signs and wonders follow with quick and immediate manifestations. Joe 2 21-23 Fear not, O land, be glad and rejoice; for Jehovah hath done great things. 22 Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth its fruit, the fig-tree and the vine do yield their strength. 23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he giveth you the former rain in just measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, in the first month. Isa 40:31 but they that wait for Jehovah shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; they shall walk, and not faint.) Bride Intercedes, Man-Child Wins Claire Pienaar 5/22/23 (David's notes in red) I dreamed Daniel and I were on a rugby field. (This is a super high contact aggressive game.) (It represents our fight against the other side, the powers and principalities.) (Eph 6:12 For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 2Co 10:4 for the weapons of our warfare are not of flesh, but mighty before God unto casting down of strongholds.) I was cheering him on and on the field with him, as we were simply hanging out. Then a whistle or siren blew and ALL our family and many, many others came running across the rugby field to fill the stadium. The real game was about to begin. (The first trump signals the start of the tribulation.) I never saw the opposition, but Daniel was the only one on his team. (Our opposition is spiritual, never physical. Daniel represents that there is only ONE victor. Gal 2:20-21 I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me. 21 I do not make void the grace of God: for if righteousness is through the law, then Christ died for nought. And 1Co 9:24 Know ye not that they that run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? Even so run; that ye may attain.) (Daniel means “God is my judge”. The start of the tribulation is the start of the fulfilment of the rest of the prophesy of Isaiah 61 that Jesus stopped halfway through: Isa 61:1-3 The Spirit of the Lord Jehovah is upon me; because Jehovah hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; 2 to proclaim the year of Jehovah's favor, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; 3 to appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they may be called trees of righteousness, the planting of Jehovah, that he may be glorified.) Daniel was wearing all white and his blonde hair was shining in the sun/Son. (His clothing represents being submitted to Jesus, justified by faith, washed in the blood and cleansed in the blood. Rev 3:5 He that overcometh shall thus be arrayed in white garments; and I will in no wise blot his name out of the book of life, and I will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Rev 19:8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.) (1Jo 1:6-10 If we say that we have fellowship with him and walk in the darkness, we lie, and do not the truth: 7 but if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanseth us from all sin. 8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (NENT Joh 8:12 Again therefore Jesus spake to them, saying, I am the light of the world: who followeth me shall in no wise walk in the darkness, but shall have the light of life.) Daniel intercepted the ball immediately and started running. One of the invisible opposition knocked the ball out of his hand, and it was knocked out of the field. (Representing the trials and tribulations and the enemy trying to steal our kingdom benefits and heavenly position in Christ.) I was standing on the line, and I was screaming for all it was worth, cheering him on. (The bride intercedes for the man-child.) I then got onto the field once I caught the ball and sent Daniel a side pass. (The bride also participates with the man-child in the work.) I knew I couldn't get ahead of him as forward passes are not aloud. (She is not a Jezebel but walks beside Him. Joh 3:30 He must increase, but I must decrease.) I ran with him for a short time, encouraging him as he caught the ball. Daniel was now far in front of the opponents, and he could confidently kick the ball through the poles for a goal. It was fantastic! Everyone cheered and he was happy, but not boastful. (Because the victory belongs to Christ in us!) I woke up. I received Eze 18:10 by faith at random, in context 18:10-18 If he beget a son that is a robber, a shedder of blood, 11 and that doeth any one of these things, and that doeth not any of those duties, but even hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his neighbor's wife, 12 hath wronged the poor and needy, hath taken by robbery, hath not restored the pledge, and hath lifted up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination, 13 hath given forth upon interest, and hath taken increase; shall he then live? he shall not live: he hath done all these abominations; he shall surely die; his blood shall be upon him. (A wicked son cannot win in the contest. He is losing the game against his flesh). 14 Now, lo, if he beget a son, that seeth all his father's sins, which he hath done, and feareth, and doeth not such like; 15 that hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the house of Israel, hath not defiled his neighbor's wife, 16 neither hath wronged any, hath not taken aught to pledge, neither hath taken by robbery, but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath covered the naked with a garment; 17 that hath withdrawn his hand from the poor, that hath not received interest nor increase, hath executed mine ordinances, hath walked in my statutes; he shall not die for the iniquity of his father, he shall surely live. 18 As for his father, because he cruelly oppressed, robbed his brother, and did that which is not good among his people, behold, he shall die in his iniquity. (The righteous score all the points in this game which is for eternal life.) Love of Saints Brings Deliverance Samuel Fire 3/24/23 (David's notes in red) I saw myself in the center of a room. Then all the women in the UBM Outreach and local brethren all linked hands and surrounded me and closed in until all were sitting together with no gaps. Then all the men did the same in an outer circle. I felt them all praying in tongues and English, with God's Love and Grace. I felt this Holy Love pressing and squeezing with an intense comfortable heat, I then felt something start to bubble up, wriggling inside, up from deep within me. This was something dark and then it escaped out of my mouth upward like a volcano eruption. I then felt so much better! Praise the Lord! (I felt this meant that the surrounding of the Saints in layers of love, allowed deliverance. The fellowship and desire of the Lord's will allow us to be completely free in Jesus.) Intercession Tianna Fire 3/18/23 (David's notes in red) I saw myself holding a long string over the back of my shoulder, and I saw the string leading into a big giant black abyss. The string went down into the abyss and I saw the string wrapped around all the people that I have ever prayed for, including random people I don't know, all people that are not yet following Jesus. The string had no weight and was light and easy to hold and it didn't cut my skin. (The string represents our prayers of intercession, connecting people we pray for to the Throne of Grace and the Lord Jesus, our great High Priest, Who is always making intercession for us.) (Jas 5:16 Confess therefore your sins one to another and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 1Ti 2:1-6 I exhort therefore, first of all, that supplications, prayers, intercessions, thanksgivings, be made for all men; 2 for kings and all that are in high place; that we may lead a tranquil and quiet life in all godliness and gravity. 3 This is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour; 4 who would have all men to be saved, and come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, one mediator also between God and men, himself man, Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself a ransom for all; the testimony to be borne in its own times.) I felt that they are held there by Jesus' faith and prayers through me, and by God's grace and intercession they won't fall into the abyss. They are dangling there because they haven't yet come to Jesus, but in God's perfect time, by His grace, they will either be pulled out or they will climb up using the string. (Jesus interceding through us is more powerful and effective than we know. Jesus' faith through us is keeping many souls back from the pit, even if they repent at the last moment like the thief on the cross did, they will come into the Kingdom.) If we don't allow Jesus to intercede through us and believe for others, they may fall into the pit. I felt that Jesus' faith and prayers through me was the only thing keeping them from falling.) I felt this vision is to encourage us all to allow Jesus to intercede through us all the time and not give into the flesh that is constantly trying to stop us from communing with our Holy Father and seeking and being about His will and business. (NENT 1Th 5:17 pray without ceasing. Eph 6:18 with all prayer and supplication praying at all seasons in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints,) I felt this vision is to encourage us all to allow Jesus to intercede through us all the time and not give into the flesh that is constantly trying to stop us from bringing souls into the Kingdom. (1Th 5:17 pray without ceasing. See also: The Urgency For Effectual Prayer ) Prayers Of Warfare Samuel Fire 12/16/22 (David's notes in red) I had a vision of the enemy, the kingdom of darkness, its principalities and powers, up above the earth in the air, formulating and sending attacks down on the people. (NENT Eph 6:12 For our wrestling is not against blood and flesh, but against the principalities, against the authorities, against the world-rulers of this darkness, against the spirituals of the wickedness in the heavenlies. Psa 91:5-6 Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night, Nor for the arrow that flieth by day; 6 For the pestilence that walketh in darkness, Nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.) I then saw the prayers of the Saints going up from the earth. Because they prayed in the Spirit, the demons were unable to grasp or stop the prayers. (Mar_16:17 And these signs shall accompany them that believe: in my name shall they cast out demons; they shall speak with new tongues. Act_2:4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Act_19:6 And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. 1Co_12:10 and to another workings of miracles; and to another prophecy; and to another discernings of spirits: to another divers kinds of tongues; and to another the interpretation of tongues: 1Co_14:18 I thank God, I speak with tongues more than you all.) I could see the prayers were separate, protected and encoded. (Praying in the Spirit is not with our understanding, it is in tongues. 1Co_14:15 What is it then? I will pray with the spirit, and I will pray with the understanding also: I will sing with the spirit, and I will sing with the understanding also. God can make tongues understood or not understood by men or demons.) The prayers were piercing through the darkness, straight past the enemy, and not hindered the slightest. The enemy could not block or stop them. There was no way that the enemy had the ability to know or decode the prayers. (Even when they do know they cannot do anything about it for God is sovereign over all vessels of honor or dishonor. NENT Rev 8:4-5 And the smoke of the incense for the prayers of the saints went up before God out of the angel's hand. 5 And the angel took the censer; and filled it from the fire of the altar, and cast it unto the earth: and thunders came, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake.) I then saw our Lord interceding and answering the prayers. It was like each prayer received was launch codes, that were enabling a full armament to be unleashed. He then sent forth fire and judgment raining down onto the enemy's kingdom. Each time the Saints prayed in the Spirit, there was more fire brought upon the enemy. (NENT Rom 8:33-34 Who shall bring a charge against God's elect? It is God that justifieth; 34 who is he that condemneth? It is Christ Jesus that died, yea rather, was raised from the dead, who is at God's right, who also intercedeth for us.) (Heb 7:25 Whence also he is able to save to the uttermost them that approach God through him, he ever living to make intercession for them. Psa 11:6 Upon the wicked he will rain snares; Fire and brimstone and burning wind shall be the portion of their cup. Notice God is doing this not man. We are forbidden by Jesus to call down fire on our physical enemies. Psa 18:13-14 Jehovah also thundered in the heavens, And the Most High uttered his voice, Hailstones and coals of fire. 14 And he sent out his arrows, and scattered them; Yea, lightnings manifold, and discomfited them.) I felt we have to keep feeding the Flames of Our Lord in prayer in Spirit. To keep giving a reason for Our Lord to send the attack back on the enemy. (NENT Eph 6:18 with all prayer and supplication praying at every season in the Spirit, and watching thereunto in all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.) (Psa 50:3 Our God cometh, and doth not keep silence: A fire devoureth before him, And it is very tempestuous round about him.) I then felt that the darkest hour of warfare is when few people are alert or awake. We all need to consciously pray in the Spirit, and keep the pressure and attack on the enemy. 1Th 5:4-8 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief: 5 for ye are all sons of light, and sons of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness; 6 so then let us not sleep, as do the rest, but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that are drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, since we are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. Before The Throne Tianna Fire 2/9/23 (David's notes in red) There is something in the spiritual realm that the Lord has allowed me to see at times; especially when a UBM sister has prayed, and I feel now the Lord wants me to write it down. It is difficult for me to put spiritual things into physical words. Many times, when our sister has prayed, I am taken to a place and I've seen her or the Holy Spirit or Jesus in her, in a room, which seems to me to be like a courtroom. I have seen her speaking in front of the Father, who was up high and what felt was in a position like a judge, and all other spirits around were watching but waiting for the Father or judge. The Father was completely focused and watching her, seeing and hearing every word she speaks, and Him answering the prayer at the very moment the words come from her mouth. I had a supernatural knowing that He is answering the prayer right at that moment, whether it completely manifests in the physical immediately or not, but that it is answered in spirit. He heard as soon as it was spoken or even beforehand, and He moves the moment it has been spoken. I have a feeling that He is pleased and it is His will. There were also other spirits present all-around in like a 360 angle all around her and the Father, but in a lower position to the Father or judge. These spirits remind me of everyone else in a courtroom that isn't the judge or the lawyer or representative. They are like an audience or security, workers etc. in a courtroom, but instead of being in one spot they are spread out all around. I believe these spirits are Angels or maybe also brethren that are already in Heaven. When I'm seeing this, it is ALL I see and feel and it's as if I am nowhere else but, in this place, and this is the most important thing, that I can't even think of anywhere or anything else. After being in this place I feel much more spiritually clean. The feeling is like after having a lovely shower and feeling fresh and clean. I sought the Lord as I was wondering how this sister's prayers go straight before the Father so often, and how is it, He answers them as soon as she prays, and how is it she is able to get to that place. I have only experienced this myself a few times, but have been there many times when our sister is praying. I felt the Lord say that because she is aligning herself with the Holy Spirit or Jesus, she is allowing the Holy Spirit or Jesus to speak and intercede through her, and because it's the Holy Spirit, it is completely aligned with the Father and His will and Word and is therefore heard and answered when immediately spoken. For me this has increased my faith and given me a desire to learn to always allow the Holy Spirit to pray through me, rather than me praying what I think God wants, or from myself or praying scripture from my own memory or religiously. Many times my prayers aren't answered and I feel now, a lot of the time it's because I am praying for what I think God wants or my needs rather than just allowing the Holy Spirit to speak through me. ALL Glory to Father God! (Also the more we come into agreement with the Word the more our prayers are answered. Joh 15:7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you.)

Pentecost is a Day that should be celebrated by all follows of Jesus Christ! Sadly, many in the Body of Christ do not celebrate it, or even recognize it as a day of importance. Those that do, know that it is the day Holy Spirit was poured out on the earth fifty days after Jesus' ascension to Heaven. But, it represents so much more! Pastor Dawn explains that Pentecost fulfilled the need of restoration! Pentecost not only took place to empower the people of God by filling them with His Holy Spirit, but also to restore all that had been lost so long ago, from Adam & Eve, to the Tower of Babble, and beyond. The plan was for the Spirit to empower His people from within, to live with us and IN US; bringing us back to a former, original state of UNITY, which God always intended. Listen to learn how!

Groundhog Day won't arrive in the US until February, but until then the Stephanomics podcast has assembled a crack team of prognosticators rivaling Punxsutawney Phil himself to give a glimpse into 2023.In this annual look-ahead edition of the podcast, host Stephanie Flanders delves into the future with Charles Grant, director of the Centre for European Reform, and three Bloomberg experts, Chief Economist Tom Orlik, Washington Bureau Chief Peggy Collins and London-based TV anchor Francine Lacqua. First, with inflation and interest rates dominating economic headlines, Orlik gives a somewhat reassuring outlook for the US. Price hikes will fall rapidly from their perch above 7% in 2023, but they'll remain high enough that the Federal Reserve will keep tightening the money supply for now, Orlik says.In US politics, Trump's bid for a second term has gotten off to a slow start. Facing multiple criminal investigations and diminishing party support, some are wondering if his heart is really in it. However, since he's announced that he's running, we'd better assume the Republican might be on the ballot in 2024, even if potential rivals like Florida Governor Ron DeSantis don't clear a path for him, Collins said. The man who defeated Trump in 2020, President Joe Biden, has his own challenges next year now that the GOP controls the House of Representatives. Collins sees Biden circumventing a deadlocked Congress by making prolific use of executive orders, as many of his predecessors have done in the past.Across the Atlantic, Grant predicts the French, Italians and Germans, joined by the US, will eventually urge Ukraine to cede territory to reach a peace agreement, despite the tens of thousands of its citizens killed by Russia in its war. While some Eastern European nations are taking a hardline stance against the Kremlin, including pushing for regime change, Biden and his allies foresee having to work with Russia over the long term, Grant says, and may take a more diplomatic approach. Meantime, the continent has been spared a full-on energy crisis, in part because of a mild European winter and a large supply of natural gas in storage, Lacqua says. That could change, though, with the European Union's new cap on gas prices. Energy importers may choose to send their natural gas elsewhere and cause prices in Europe to soar, Lacqua warns.China currently faces a national crisis as coronavirus cases flood hospitals and threaten to kill more than a million people. It's a public health catastrophe that was triggered by Xi Jinping's sudden reversal of his "Covid-zero" policy. But in 2023, that turnabout may have Beijing's desired effects: After the infection wave recedes, Orlik predicts China's economy may finally turn the corner. He sees the country growing by 5.1% next year, with the risk being that it grows too quickly and puts a strain on the world's commodity supplies. For now, the US and Europe have been somewhat at odds over China, with the US more concerned about Beijing's accumulation of power and the threat to US security. Europe may be forced to side with its US allies, Grant says. "The more we get into a sort of new Cold War, the more inevitably the Europeans, however reluctantly, are forced to take sides and will take sides on the American side," he says.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

His recommendation: a separate technology and cybersecurity committee (cites examples of GM, WalMart, FedEx, Hasbro). He questions its placement in audit committees.24:17 -- His thoughts on quotas for boards (on cybersecurity expertise). "Quota is such a dirty word [in governance circles] but they work and force the issue." "Gary Gensler was a senior advisor to Senator Paul Sarbanes, so the Statement on Proposal for Mandatory Cybersecurity Disclosures comes directly from his SOX days (he knows it works, it's a comply or explain provision)."27:05 -- On international vs US boardroom cybersecurity practices.

Court Dismisses Cybersecurity-Related Oversight Claim Against SolarWinds Board.38:19 -- Cybersecurity experts in the boardroom: "In US boards: 10-14%, it's inching up but it should be 100%" "For $315k per year [avg comp of S&P500 director] any corporate board can materially improve a critical control point in their cybersecurity system by putting a cyber expert on the board. It's a no-brainer, a slam dunk."40:43 -- The "unfair" bias against CIOs and CISOs in the boardroom (as one-trick ponies).43:49 -- "Digital and cybersecurity is part of the G in ESG, and we have not made nearly as much traction as some of the E and S folks have, so we still have some work to do."45:05 -- "If you're a corporate director you should understand the skills, structure and scope of risk oversight that you have to address to govern these [digital and cybersecurity] issues."45:57 - The books that have greatly influenced his life: The History of Pi, by Petr Beckman (1970)The Nature of Technology, by W.
