This horoscope is for the new moon in Sagittarius, which happens on Sunday, December 1, 2024 at 1:21 a.m. ET.Book a reading with me on my website at etherealastrology.com/readings.We recently started to do some things that are more fun and in alignment with who we are. As a result, new and better things have started to manifest in our experience that we are very excited about.Because new and better things are beginning to manifest we are excited about, we then get a lot of courage and motivation to continue moving forward in this new direction.But the more we move forward in this new direction, we begin to engage our logical mind about what is or is not possible, or what we should or should not do.That then makes us start to doubt the good things that are happening, worry they will all start to fall apart, and lose hope.That is because some things from the past we don't like are still around. It is also because it doesn't make logical sense that good things are happening when the past few years have been such a struggle.As a result, we begin to feel afraid and over-control all the little details of our situation. We also begin to focus on the wrong things and get more negative.That then causes a lot of confusion and miscommunication. It also makes us feel as though we need to slow down and stop with the passionate forward momentum.That is a bit uncomfortable.But even though we are frustrated and uncomfortable, there is a small inner knowing that is beginning to emerge, telling us that we need to STOP obsessing over the details and instead have MORE FAITH that good things will come of all our actions.That then helps us to feel a bit more at ease in our situation with these new things. It also helps us to adjust a few more things in our experience for the better, perhaps unexpectedly.But the more that things happen and come together, our logical mind is still there — tempting us back into small-minded and fear-based thinking that is too focused on the details.As a result, we need to be aware that our mind may have a tendency to play tricks on us so that we don't let it get the best of us.We may also need to do some inner healing so that we can stay in this place of hope, optimism, and faith — and not get tempted backwards.That will help us do some truly remarkable things that will make all our lives much better by May-June of 2025.Contents of this video ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬(0:00) Introduction(1:40) General Themes(6:40) Past Context(25:05) Specifics(53:05) Summary(56:45) Other Notes(1:11:38) Inside Degrees(1:17:34) TarotFollow me on Instagram:http://www.instagram.com/ethereal_astrologyWatch me daily on Horoscope.com:https://www.horoscope.com/us/horoscopes/general/horoscope-overview-daily-today.aspxThe song in my intro and outro video is "Escape" by Sappheiros.License: Creative Commons (CC BY 3.0) https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0Music powered by BreakingCopyright: https://breakingcopyright.com Hosted on Acast.

This episode of More Faith, More Life challenges us to apply the biblical instruction of 'testing the spirits' to our modern religious landscape. We delve into 1 John chapter 4 to confront the essential truth that discerning the nature of Jesus Christ is about examining the doctrines of people, not just supernatural entities. By revisiting historical debates and the significance of Jesus being both fully human and divine, we set the stage to rethink our theology and its profound impact on our relationship with Him. Key Takeaways:John encourages believers to test the spirits and discern whether they come from God by examining the teachings and representations of Jesus to ensure they align with the biblical truth. The spirit of Antichrist is not limited to a specific person but refers to a theology or teaching that opposes or distorts the true nature of Jesus. It seeks to enthroned humanity instead of Christ and diminishes His divinity. To experience the power and freedom of God, it is crucial to give Jesus the highest position in our lives. He is both fully human and fully God, and acknowledging and serving Him as such is essential for true transformation. Steve cautions against a form of religion that focuses solely on soothing individuals' hurts and needs without leading to genuine change. It is important to move beyond psychological comfort and embrace the transformative power of the Gospel. The mark of the beast, often associated with the Antichrist, symbolizes the enthronement of humanity instead of Christ. It represents a self-centered approach to life that opposes the lordship of Jesus.Looking for more?

In the world today, many people are grappling with a sense of loss and pain, making it crucial to learn how to navigate through it. As Kathy shares her personal experiences with grief, we uncover the vital truth that grief, while not part of God's original plan for us, has become an unfortunate reality of our lives due to the entrance of sin and death into the world.We continue the conversation by examining the tension between the pain of grief and the hope of healing. Kathy reminds us of the danger of holding on to grief too tightly and allowing it to entrench itself in our souls, threatening our relationships and our outlook on life. However, she also highlights the power of the Holy Spirit as a comforter and the importance of letting go of grief in a healthy manner. We look to the scripture for hope and comfort, and extend an invitation to those who are grieving to seek solace and guidance in Jesus. This is an episode filled with profound insights and heartfelt truths that will undoubtedly touch the hearts of many.Key Takeaways:Grief is caused by a sudden and permanent loss, leading to feelings of anger and disbelief.It is important to draw a line between allowing oneself to grieve and not letting grief consume one's life.Regret grief, where individuals grieve not only the loss but also the events that took place before the loss, can be addressed by seeking the help of the Holy Spirit and finding comfort in God's word.Having Jesus in one's life provides strength and purpose in navigating through grief.The Holy Spirit serves as the comforter and can help individuals find healing and move forward.Looking for more?

Does our generation find itself clueless because we are more sin-conscious than God-conscious? I delve into this compelling question in a unique edition of the More Faith, More Life Podcast. We'll shed light on how to merge spiritual and political aspects: a lesson Jesus himself imparted, and I'll introduce my new ebook, If You Only Knew. This book lays bare the flawed strategies of Jewish leadership during Jesus' time, who chose wealth accumulation and alliances over adhering to Jesus' teachings. You'll learn how to navigate through the misconceptions of your faith and embrace a life filled with God's favor.Our discussion doesn't stop there. We take a critical look at our Protestant Christian faith, where simply acknowledging our sinfulness doesn't cut it. There's a monumental event on the horizon, and aligning ourselves with the pattern set by Jesus is crucial for our spiritual survival. We'll dive deeper into the art of living in the favor of God, which goes beyond mere repentance and cessation of certain actions. Together, we'll explore the path to living fully in God's kingdom and favor and how to protect ourselves from nations rising against us, by paying attention to our spiritual guidance. Let's journey together to embrace a life in God's favor and keep our loved ones safe. Key Takeaways:Combining the spiritual with the political is crucial for preserving a nation and preventing disaster.Christianity should focus on more than just recognizing sin; it should teach believers how to live in the kingdom of God.The current war is not just external conflicts but also the internal battles within individuals.Unity and following God's ways are essential for preventing further destruction and division in society.

We're under siege in a culture war, and it's time to bravely navigate this changing terrain. In this episode of More Faith, More Life, we explore how we're being subtly coerced into accepting what we shouldn't, and how the shift in our culture is being accelerated by the powerful and the influential. But fear not, for we draw parallels between the events leading up to World War II and current events to expound on how faith can be our guiding light in this war.   In an era of uncertainty and rapid changes, the potential threats we face might seem overwhelming. From the looming threat of a war with North Korea to economic upheavals like the nations uniting to end the US dollar, we emphasize the importance of keeping our faith steadfast. Through all these trials, faith is our anchor, it's our beacon of hope that can guide us through the storm. Tune in as we explore the intersection of faith, politics, and culture in the heart of this cultural war.     Key Takeaways:  The culture war is a battle for our minds and beliefs, and it is important to resist being worn down by the forces that seek to control and manipulate our thinking. Relying on faith and the teachings of the Bible can help individuals navigate the challenges of the culture war and make decisions that align with their values. It is essential to protect children from being influenced by agendas that may contradict one's beliefs and values, and exploring alternative education options such as homeschooling or private schools can be a viable solution. Having faith in God and trusting in His power can provide individuals with the strength and guidance they need to face the challenges of the culture war and protect themselves and their families. When it comes to elections, it is important to vote for candidates who prioritize the safety and well-being of individuals and their children, rather than simply aligning with a particular party or personal preferences.     Looking for more?

Feeling tired and worn out, drained of energy and zest for life? Join me in this empowering conversation on our More Faith, More Life podcast, and discover how to reignite that spark and tap into an abundant source of energy. We'll uncover the power of shifting from a consumer-driven mentality towards being a producer in our own lives, and how this simple shift can dramatically impact our physical, mental, and emotional energy levels.   Our journey into rejuvenation begins with an assessment of the prevalent issues that may be silently sapping your energy. Worry, anger, unforgiveness, and the lack of a clear direction in life - these elements can all contribute to energy drain. Let's explore together how to tackle these issues, how to prioritize our lives, and how to walk with God to find the help and direction we need. We'll also discuss how to redefine success in a way that energizes, rather than drains us, by focusing on production rather than consumption.   But perhaps the most transformative element in replenishing our life is faith. In this conversation, we'll delve into the role faith can play in revitalizing our lives and restoring our energy. We'll look into how setting the right priorities and dreams can keep us energized, and how faith, combined with the right definition of success, can propel us to live the life we're called to live. So, buckle up for an invigorating discussion on the More Faith, More Life podcast, and let's take a step towards a more energetic and successful life, together.   Looking for more?

Who is with you right now? Who did you forget is looking out through your eyes with you?  Experiencing your life with you?  When you feel them, you're also feeling your Self, and you're also feeling GoOD. There's only One and It can't go anywhere."The day my mother died, I wrote in my journal, "A serious misfortune of my life has arrived." I suffered for more than one year after the passing away of my mother. But one night, in the highlands of Vietnam, I was sleeping in the hut in my hermitage. I dreamed of my mother. I saw myself sitting with her, and we were having a wonderful talk. She looked young and beautiful, her hair flowing down. It was so pleasant to sit there and talk to her as if she had never died. When I woke up, it was about two in the morning, and I felt very strongly that I had never lost my mother. The impression that my mother was still with me was very clear. I understood then that the idea of having lost my mother was just an idea. It was obvious in that moment that my mother is always alive in me.I opened the door and went outside. The entire hillside was bathed in moonlight. It was a hill covered with tea plants, and my hut was set behind the temple halfway up. Walking slowly in the moonlight through the rows of tea plants, I noticed my mother was still with me. She was the moonlight caressing me as she had done so often, very tender, very sweet... wonderful! Each time my feet touched the earth I knew my mother was there with me. I knew this body was not mine but a living continuation of my mother and my father and my grandparents and great-grandparents. Of all my ancestors. Those feet that I saw as "my" feet were actually "our" feet. Together my mother and I were leaving footprints in the damp soil.From that moment on, the idea that I had lost my mother no longer existed. All I had to do was look at the palm of my hand, feel the breeze on my face or the earth under my feet to remember that my mother is always with me, available at any time."-Thich Nhat Hanh I Love you,Niknikki@curlynikki.comSupport the show:▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmorningsBonus Quote:"More of Christ, less of me.More Joy.

The Gift of Miracles demonstrates the authority of God, proving He exists. His miracle-working power does the impossible. Learn about the grace of God in the gift of miracles provided to us by the Holy Spirit. *** Welcome to Celebrating God's Grace, A Women World Leader's Podcast, I'm your host Robin Kirby-Gatto. Thank you for joining us today as we celebrate God's grace, in our lives, in our ministry, and around the world. Today's Title is: “The Gift of Miracles” “To another the working of miracles...” 1 Corinthians 12:10 AMPC The Greek word used for miracles in 1 Corinthians 12 is dýnamis pronounced doo'-nam-is meaning, “miraculous power, ability, abundance, mighty, worker of miracles, miracle, power, strength, violence, and wonderful work.” [i] God's grace is continually working through the gifts of the Holy Spirit. The working of miracles is distinguished from the gift of faith and that of healing. As I mentioned in the prior podcast I did on the Gift of Faith, # 441, the Gift of Faith, is God's faith, added to our faith. Although I haven't gotten into the gift of healing, you will come to find out that it's specifically for the healing of dis-ease and the brokenhearted. In relation to the gift of miracles, this can happen in many circumstances, both with things in the natural, such as God parting the Red Sea, and times, when God's authority is being manifested in supernatural signs of removing congenital disease, someone paralyzed who walks, creating new organs in a person's body, or delivering a person from the point of death. When it comes to a miracle it's a sign, SHOWING GOD'S AUTHORITY. Whereas the gift of healing is the Great Physician's work on keeping people well mentally, emotionally, and physically. Let's go to miracles in the Word of God, beginning with Israel coming out of Egypt. In Exodus 3, God spoke to Moses at a burning bush, where he called him to Go to Egypt and to tell Pharoah the Lord's message “let My people go.” Moses then asked God, when he went to the children of Israel in Egypt to prepare them, Who should I say sent me, God responded “I Am that I Am” has sent you. “I Am” in Hebrew is hâyâh pronounced haw-yaw meaning, “to exist, be or become, come to pass, accomplished, committed, happen, etc.,” [ii] Therefore, the gift of miracles shows God exists and all that He is committed to, will be accomplished and come to pass. His promises are yes and amen! “When Pharaoh says to you, Prove [your authority] by a miracle, then tell Aaron, Throw your rod down before Pharaoh, that it may become a serpent.” Exodus 7:9 AMPC God instructed Moses to use the rod for miraculous purposes, which would prove the authority in which Moses came, the Great I Am, demonstrating that God exists, there is none like Him. In Exodus 7, miracle in Hebrew is môwphêth pronounced mo-faith meaning, “conspicuousness, a miracle, a token, sign, and wonder.” [iii] Isn't it amazing that the Hebrew word for miracle sounds like MO-FAITH or should I say MORE FAITH? Let's look at the Hebrew letters that compose it, which are Mem, Vav, Pey, and Tav. The ancient symbols from the Old Hebrew of these letters, combine to form a word picture, revealing the nature of what a miracle is on a deeper level. The first letter Mem is the ancient symbol of water, and looks like a three humped “M,” meaning, “massive and flooding,” in the positive. Vav is the ancient symbol of a tent peg or nail and means, “to add and secure.” Pey is the ancient symbol of a mouth that is opened, and means, “open, word, and speak.” Finally, Tav is the ancient symbol of an “X” or a cross, and means, “sign, seal, mark, and covenant.” Therefore, the word picture for miracle is THE MASSIVE FLOODING OF THE WORD THAT IS A SIGN OF COVENANT. Thus, the Gift of Miracles through the Holy Spirit, demonstrates the authority of God's Word and that He exists, there is none like Him. In John 4:47-54, Jesus was coming from Judea into Galilee, at which time a royal official came from Capernaum, where his son lay dying, to ask Jesus to heal his son. Jesus spoke to the man to go in peace, for his son would live. The royal official headed home, when then a servant came running to give him the good news that his son was better, and that the fever broke. The royal official asked the servant when it happened. It was at the exact time Jesus spoke to him that his son would live. This was the second miracle of Jesus. All throughout the Bible, miracles occur to demonstrate the authority of God Almighty. The enemy of our soul wants to hinder us from seeing the ability for God to do a miracle, by causing us to be double-minded and putting it in our heart that God won't perform it. If we give into this tactic, fear will rob our faith, and cause us to speak negatively. We need MORE FAITH, MIRACLE WORKING FAITH! I remember when my oldest son had been in a drug house for two years, God grabbed a hold of my heart and instructed me to brag about my oldest son like I did my youngest. When other people would ask me how he was, I would boast about how awesome he is. I agreed to do as the Lord instructed, and immediately followed suit. I'll never forget during this time, when I went to the movies, a woman asked me how my oldest son was. I just boasted about how proud my husband and I were of him, and she looked at me like I was an alien with four heads. I found out later that she had seen my oldest son the day prior, and their exchange made it evident to her that he wasn't doing well, and that our relationship was on the outs. Shortly after obeying God, on Mother's Day of 2011 (May 8th), my son was set free and came out of the drug house, knowing the power of Holy Spirit, as God had shown him the demons that were involved with his addiction. I knew that God did a miracle in delivering my son and bringing him back to the Lord. He demonstrated His authority over the powers of hell. When someone operates in the gift of miracles, it's the grace of God on them showing a sign of His authority. Greater is Jesus in us, than he who is in the world. On another occasion in 2012, when ministering in South Carolina at a minister's retreat, I ministered to individuals after having preached. A woman came up to receive ministry, when then I saw a huge rope knotted up and stuck in her ear. My spiritual eyes were open, and upon seeing this, the Lord said “Robin, pull that rope out of the woman's ear.” I obeyed and told her “God showed me there's a rope in your ear and I have to pull it out.” I just did a demonstration of it, and prayed whilst doing it, when then the woman started jumping up and down shouting. I looked at her in amazement, wondering why she was so excited, when she proclaimed, “I have been deaf in that ear, and NOW I CAN HEAR!” Lastly, when I was in the mission field in 2011 for a month in the Philippines, preaching and ministering, we had taken a flight into Tacloban on the Island of Samar and were in route on a van to Catarman, which was four hours north. It was about midnight when the van broke down about half-way. The taxi driver got out to see what the problem was. For the next two hours, he would go back and forth from underneath the engine, where oil had gotten all over him. I began to wonder if there was any oil left in the vehicle. Shortly after having been broken down, a bunch of Muslims came out and congregated behind the vehicle. The taxi driver's wife stood outside by her husband to help him. My friend opened the van door, anxious to go look for help, at which I informed her by no means was she to get out of the van. Our windows were cracked to let air in as well. During this time a Muslim man in his early twenties passed by the van to do recon for the group, caught a glimpse of me, at which time we locked eyes. I've never felt the hate that I did from that man, who was oppressed heavily by a demonic spirit. In the invisible realm, God showed me the demon jumping on top of our vehicle, and I felt it's heaviness all over me. Immediately the taxi driver's wife, heard what the Muslim men were going to do to us and shouted, “SHUT THE DOOR!” My other two friends were in front of me, while I stayed in the back, looking out of the window, as the Muslim men carried weapons, and were now coming to surround our van. God instructed me to post on Facebook that we needed prayers immediately. He then said “Robin, close your eyes, and focus on Me!” I closed my eyes tightly, to shut out all fear. Then God said, “Robin worship Me.” I began to hum, “I love you Lord, and I lift my voice, to worship you, oh my soul rejoice.” Suddenly the heaviness lifted. God then said, “Robin, open your eyes.” I looked, AND ALL THE MUSLIM MEN, WHO HAD WEAPONS SURROUNDING OUR VEHICLE WERE VANISHED, THEY WERE COMPLETELY GONE! God showed me that He had sent an angel of the Lord to protect us and that it so frightened them that they ran, HE HAD PERFORMED A MIRACLE! That is the power of the gift of miracles, when the need arises for God's authority to overcome the powers of darkness, proving that HE REIGNS; HE IS THE GREAT I AM! Is there something in your life that seems utterly impossible? If so, you are in a position for the grace of God to be poured out by the Holy Spirit through the gift of miracles! Only believe!     [i] Strong J. (1890) Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible, Abingdon Press Strong's Concordance Greek word # 1411 “miracle” [ii][ii] Strong J.

The lesson from Jesus in this encounter with the father of a demon-possessed boy is faith. The Father shows tremendous humility by placing his faith in Jesus as THE CHRIST. The disciples failed to serve this family (verse 16) because their faith in Jesus fell short. But let's remember that this passage has been used to support the idea that if only our strength in Christ was powerful enough, we could be like God, with the literal power to move mountains. If nothing is impossible for the possessor of great faith, then does Jesus have a role to play as THE CHRIST? THE Healer of the demon-possessed?
