People often think that leadership ability is something that you must be born with, like green eyes or curly hair, as if leadership skills spontaneously generate or derive from an inherited “leadership gene.” Leaders, though, are developed more than born.

They have the ability to be present for an extended period of time. They are here now. They live a life that creates a sustainable presence. They are fully present. Be here now. Fully here. This makes you available for this creative moment. Play the long game. Excellent leaders play the long game. "Live a life that creates sustainable presence." Space and Place: It's important to know your soul's home: For Jim: Northern Michigan. Quiet, still, simple, in nature... "It's recharging for me." Lead and live intentionally to get to your flow state. Ask: What is it that creates the most "alive-ness" in you? Do an energy audit. Look at your calendar for the last week. What events make your energy go up, stay neutral, or go down? Maximize for people and events that make your energy go up. "Populate your life with what you love." Are you willing to be fully alive? What are you willing to risk to make that happen? Get rid of energy downers. You can do that in 3 ways. Dump it, Delegate it Do it differently Responsibility – By me: I commit to taking full responsibility for the circumstances of my life, and my physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual well-being. I commit to support others to take full responsibility for their lives. I have to = Victim mindset I choose to = Ownership mindset To me = At the effect of other things. Outside my locus of control. By me = Inside. I am the cause of the experience. Radical responsibility. How am I causing the experience? Josh Waitzkin - Make weather what it is. Play in the rain. Curiosity is everything as a leader. The opposite of curiosity is always needing/wanting to be right. Deconstruct all the places where you want to be right. Most of it stems from fear. There are three fears: Approval Control Security Curiosity - I commit to growing in self-awareness. I commit to regarding every interaction as an opportunity to learn. I commit to curiosity as a path to rapid learning. Candor - I commit to saying what is true for me. I commit to being a person to whom others can express themselves with candor. Accountability and Responsibility: Responsibility is not something that can be assigned, it is something that has to be taken. Responsibility lives in the world of integrity and impeccable agreements. Speak truth in love. “We often describe unconscious leaders as reactive. They react from a “story” about the past or an imagined future, and their personality, ego, or mind takes over.”

In this episode of The Fully Booked Photographer the team discusses how to create an effective business plan using photography lenses as metaphors.   They explore defining both long term visions and shorter term missions, with missions needing to be measurable goals. Brad explains the difference between visions as the overarching aspirations for where you want to take your business, while missions are the individual steps that work towards achieving the larger vision. The group discusses the importance of breaking big goals down into smaller, monthly missions to keep progress tangible and avoid feeling overwhelmed by large targets.   In this episode you will hear: Business planning using photography lens metaphors Exploring and defining visions and missions Why missions must be measurable goals How to create missions to achieve your visions   For more information about this episode head to https://www.thefullybookedphotographer.com/mifgeal   The Fully Booked Photographer is the podcast that will help you grow your photography business by teaching you how to improve your marketing to get better leads, increase conversations with your ideal clients and generate more profit for your photo-based business, whether that is through eliminating the seasonality of your sessions or filling up the calendar of your studio.

Genesis 9:1-7 (NASB) 1 Then God blessed Noah and his sons, and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth. 2 The fear of you and the terror of you will be on every animal of the earth and on every bird of the sky; on everything that crawls on the ground, and on all the fish of the sea. They are handed over to you. 3 Every moving thing that is alive shall be food for you; I have given everything to you, as I gave the green plant. 4 But you shall not eat flesh with its life, that is, its blood. 5 I certainly will require your lifeblood; from every animal I will require it. And from every person, from every man as his brother I will require the life of a person. 6 Whoever sheds human blood,By man his blood shall be shed,For in the image of GodHe made mankind.7 As for you, be fruitful and multiply;Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it.” God blesses mankind with provision and protection in the new world where sin and corruption will soon abound again. God's Blessing: The Creation Mandate (9:1, 7) 1) Provision: Animals given for food (9:2-3) 2) Prohibition: Don't eat the blood (9:4) 3) Protection: Sanctity of human life (9:5-6)  

YouTube and LinkedIn are such complementary platforms. One YouTube video can become so many different types of content, which makes it accessible to people throughout the world. In this episode, I'm speaking to Gillian Whitney, a live stream specialist, about the power and versatility of YouTube videos. We discuss the many benefits of creating videos on YouTube and how they can also benefit your LinkedIn presence. The Benefits of YouTube Videos Free and accessible information for your audience. Building an audience and getting business leads Cross-post to other platforms. Populate your LinkedIn profile. YouTube Videos are Multipurpose Video content is one of the best forms of content you can make simply because it is so easily repurposed. A YouTube video can become multiple LinkedIn videos, a podcast, a blog post, and several short-form content pieces for other platforms. That's the beauty of content – you can create something for every type of learning style, so everyone benefits from what you have to say. The versatility is incredible, and everyone who has something to say should definitely show up on YouTube. Gillian says that everyone should claim their YouTube handle, as well, even if you're just thinking about creating content. Claim your space! LinkedIn is Like a Conference I've recently hit one million views on my YouTube channel, which is amazing, and I think I need to start taking my channel seriously! If the amount of people connecting with me on LinkedIn and business enquiries coming through is anything to say, the potential for growth is exponential. LinkedIn is like a conference. Your personal profile is you showing up at the conference and speaking to people. Your company page is the booth you have at the conference. And YouTube is the videos and proof you display at your booth. The synergy between the two platforms is perfect.

Today, as promised, we're doing a pop culture roundup and diving deep into the harrowing implications of some of these stories. First, we take a look at a scene from Netflix's reality dating show "Love Is Blind" in which a contestant argues she would abort her future child if she knew he had Down syndrome. We discuss this type of horrifying eugenics and why it's becoming more and more mainstream. We talk about Jennifer Aniston's recent interview, in which she reveals she struggled with infertility for years, and Nick Cannon's apparent quest to populate the Earth, as he expects his twelfth child with one of his six baby mamas. Then, we discuss a female beauty pageant that awarded its top prize to – you guessed it – a man. We finish off with another round of rating celebrity low-rise jeans. --- Timecodes: [00:46] Intro [02:58] Love is Blind & eugenics [20:30] Jennifer Aniston on infertility [32:23] Nick Cannon is due for 12th child [40:45] Man wins female beauty pageant [47:41] Rating low rise jeans --- Today's Sponsors: Covenant Eyes — protect you and your family from the things you shouldn't be looking at online.

A Rogue Planet Helps Populate the Distant Kuiper Belt by Yukun Huang et al. on Tuesday 20 September The orbital distribution of transneptunian objects (TNOs) in the distant Kuiper Belt (with semimajor axes beyond the 2:1 resonance, roughly $a$=50-100 au) provides constraints on the dynamical history of the outer solar system. Recent studies show two striking features of this region: 1) a very large population of objects in distant mean-motion resonances with Neptune, and 2) the existence of a substantial detached population (non-resonant objects largely decoupled from Neptune). Neptune migration models are able to implant some resonant and detached objects during the planet migration era, but many fail to match a variety of aspects of the orbital distribution. In this work, we report simulations carried out using an improved version of the GPU-based code GLISSE, following 100,000 test particles per simulation in parallel while handling their planetary close encounters. We demonstrate for the first time that a 2 Earth-mass rogue planet temporarily present during planet formation can abundantly populate both the distant resonances and the detached populations, surprisingly even without planetary migration. We show how weak encounters with the rogue greatly increase the efficiency of filling the resonances, while also dislodging TNOs out of resonance once they reach high perihelia. The rogue's secular gravitational influence simultaneously generates numerous detached objects observed at all semimajor axes. These results suggest that the early presence of additional planet(s) reproduces the observed TNO orbital structure in the distant Kuiper Belt. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.09399v1

So you have your RPG world space in your minds eye, but how do you go about populating your world? What plants, animals, food portals, herbs do you place into your world? How do you decide where to put these things and then how do you let your players know all about them? These are all really great questions and can inform how real and rich your world feels. In today's episode, I chat all about the best way to go about populating your world and help to ensure that your players take interest in the things that you've added to your RPG world. I also chat about the idea of solo RPGs and voice my reservations, thoughts and questions on the topic. Topics covered: How expectations play a role in populating your world? Why expectations are one of the most powerful tools that we have. How to add your own 'flavour' to your world. The parameters around which we should be building stuff into our worlds. Solo RPGs - it is possible and how does it work? Is there a rise in solo gameplay? What about the lack of collaborative effort within solo gameplay? Join the weekly live podcast recording on the Discord server - every Thursday at 5pm BST. Join here: https://discord.gg/hdWecCYbaWOddity Poddity: A Paranormal PodcastA little history, a little haunt!

Episode Summary: My guest, Ronne Rock, and I talk about knowing what God wants us to do with our life; how we know our purpose. We have a God-designed influence, impact, purpose, and story, and yet so often we don't see it for what it is. We compare ourselves to others and think we are supposed to be like them. But the truth is, God created each of us with a unique set of gifts, talents and personalities. Quotables from the episode: One of the things I learned as a child was that I had to do it all myself and I couldn't count on anyone else.  True leadership requires humility, a servant attitude, and valuing others.  When God said that He blessed man and woman, blessing means ‘happy am I.' God delights in you!  Sometimes we may feel we are lacking in ability, but we all have time and can offer the gift of our presence.  When you're seeking to know God's purpose for your life, start by filling the space you've been given.  God takes everything in our lives and makes it purposeful.  When you're seeking to know God's purpose for your life, start by asking God, “How do you see me today?”  Scripture References: Genesis 1:26-31 Now let Us conceive a new creation—humanity—made in Our image, fashioned according to Our likeness. And let Us grant them authority over all the earth—the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, the domesticated animals and the small creeping creatures on the earth. So God did just that. He created humanity in His image, created them male and female. Then God blessed them and gave them this directive: “Be fruitful and multiply. Populate the earth. I make you trustees of My estate, so care for My creation and rule over the fish of the sea, the birds of the sky, and every creature that roams across the earth.” God (to humanity): Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant that grows on the earth and every fruit-bearing tree. They will be your food and nourishment. As for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and every small creeping creature—everything that breathes the breath of life—I have given them every green plant for food. And it happened just as God said. Then God surveyed everything He had made, savoring its beauty and appreciating its goodness. Evening gave way to morning. That was day six.  Ephesians 2:10 For we are the product of His hand, heaven's poetry etched on lives, created in the Anointed, Jesus, to accomplish the good works God arranged long ago.

Today I've brought you all a book that I flew through. I don't know which cliche you want to invoke; page turner, unputdownable, I found myself thinking of them all as I devoured George Haddad's Losing Face.George Haddad is an award winning writer from Western Sydney. He won the Viva la Novella for his story Populate or Perish and is a doctoral candidate at the Writing and Society Research Centre, Western Sydney University.Losing Face is told between the narrative perspectives of Joey and his Tayta Elaine.Elaine came to Australia as a young wife from her village in Lebanon. Through years of work and raising a family she has confronted the expectations and disdain her adoptive country has heaped on her. Now with her husband gone she lives for her grandsons, although she is not quite sure what Joey is doing with his life.Joey's nineteen; young enough to feel bulletproof but far enough away from school to wonder if he should be doing more. His friends aren't everything to him, his job is even less than that but Joey feels like he has more to offer.As Joey drifts from music festivals to cafes and barbershops he wonders whether his life should be more. In doing nothing he is setting himself on a path that finds him in a car full of young men like himself. Men who want more from the world, and in one horrific chain of events try to take it.Losing Face performs the incredible narrative feat of vividly realizing an ensemble cast of characters and then challenging the reader to explore their morality.While I'm not going to give away the pivotal moment that sends Joey and the novel hurtling towards their conclusion, it's fair to say that Losing Face takes on the social question of men's power and privilege and how that is weaponized against women.Through the juxtaposed narratives of Joey and Elaine we see the toll of displacement from home and family and the legacy it leaves on families. Where Elaine learned how to be a Lebanese woman in the often racist world she found herself living in, Joey finds himself adrift. Is he the young Leb that people stare at on the streets of Greenacre or can he be the white, privileged Aussie that his father's background might offer him.In avoiding these choices Joey allows himself to be buffeted by the will of others in his life. It's a non-decision that proves fateful.Losing Face is powerful because it makes you care for Joey even as it shows you why you could hate him. It challenges the reader with injustice and makes us culpable for rooting for a protagonist who is implicated.Losing Face is the new novel from George Haddad and it's out now through UQPGeorge will be joining me on the show this Saturday morning and is also appearing as part of Sydney Writers Festival running the 16th - 22nd May.Book Club is produced and presented by Andrew PopleWant more great conversations with Australian authors?Discover this and many more conversations on Final Draft every week from 2ser.Get in touch with Andrew and Final Draft.

GRACE BIBLE CHURCH GBIBLE.ORG ROBERT MCLAUGHLIN BIBLE MINISTRIES PASTOR ROBERT R. MCLAUGHLIN 05/1/2022 KENOSIS Part 12 We have been noting the evidence testing of our Lord and how: The three parts of His evidence testing challenged His relationship to: 1. The Holy Spirit; (MAT 4:1-4. 2. The Word of God; (MAT 4:5-7). 3. The plan of God; (MAT 4:8-10). He passed the first test which was to use the Word of God as His divine solution to the temptations of Satan. Matthew 4 records the evidence testing of our Lord, which was the first event in His public ministry. This means that: At the outset of His public ministry, He was immediately taken into the desert, alone, to face evidence testing. We have already covered the first three verses and we are now ready to complete our Lord's answer to His first Temptation. For in MAT 4:1 we read Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. MAT 4:2 And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. MAT 4:3 And the tempter came and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God [and you are], command that these stones become bread." Satan recognizes that Jesus is the Son of God. Satan is the leader of the fallen angels and they have already fought in eternity and lost, so Satan recognizes that Jesus is the Son of God but obviously it does not save him. He is already in his category for eternity where He lost his rebellion against God which was originally why the eternal lake of fire had to: MAT 25:41. Since we are in the Gospel of Matthew, look at MAT 25:41 "Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; He has had his chance and he is out of the picture now, but it should be noticed that the devil and his angels will end up in the eternal lake of fire. Turn to REV 20:7 And when the thousand years are completed, Satan will be released from his prison, REV 20:8 and will come out to deceive the nations which are in the four corners of the earth, Gog and Magog, to gather them together for the war; the number of them is like the sand of the seashore. REV 20:9 And they came up on the broad plain of the earth and surrounded the camp of the saints and the beloved city, and fire came down from heaven and devoured them. REV 20:10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Satan recognizes that if he can get Jesus to turn stones into bread, even though He is deity [the Son of God], He can act independently of the Holy Spirit. As we have noted, Satan learned the lesson quickly, Jesus cannot be bought for any price. Notice that gall of Satan when he actually commands our Lord to do what he says. So, I will give you eight points on this first temptation: 1. Jesus is hungry and He has the power to turn stones into bread which would be very simple for the Son of God to do. 2. To turn stones into bread would mean depending upon His own volition and upon His own divine power rather than the power of the indwelling Spirit and the volition and plan of the Father. This is a point that you and I can really learn from: Will it be “My will” or “Thy will” be done. 3. The relationship of the humanity of Jesus to the indwelling Holy Spirit is under a test but not a Temptation. The test is our Lord's relationship with the Holy Spirit whereas the temptations are from the devil. 4. Jesus is being tempted to obtain a lawful thing in an unlawful way — apart from the power of the Spirit. The lawful thing is the Word of God that the devil used to tempt our Lord whereas the unlawful thing is to pervert the word, misquote or add to it. 5. Jesus is being tempted as to the sufficiency of the grace of the Father for daily needs. We face the same issue today. The Father's provision is grace. The issue is always grace versus legalism. 6. Would Jesus provide food for Himself by turning stones into bread or can He wait for the Father to provide all His needs. He knows that the Father's purpose for Him is to go to the cross and even though He has gone without food for forty days he knows that He will not die of starvation. The point is does He have the patience to wait for the Father's plan to operate or is He going to jump out ahead and not wait upon the Lord? Our Lord knew such passages as PSA 25:4-5 Make me know Thy ways, O Lord; Teach me Thy paths. Lead me in Thy truth and teach me, For Thou art the God of my salvation; For Thee I wait all the day. He knew passages like: PSA 25:21 Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, For I wait for Thee. He knew passages like: PSA 27:14 Wait for the Lord; Be strong, and let your heart take courage; Yes, wait for the Lord. Or especially: PSA 37:7 Rest in the Lord and wait patiently for Him; Do not fret because of him who prospers in his way, Because of the man who carries out wicked schemes. Issue to us: Do we have the patience to wait for the Father's plan to develop in our lives or do we jump out ahead of it? 7. This introduces the faith-rest issue: Are we going to “trust” the Father or are we going to “do it” ourselves? Simple but profound. And finally, the eighth point: 8. The Father will not permit the humanity of Christ to starve to death because GEN 3:15 and ISA 53 and all of the Levitical offerings tells is how the Savior would die. Now, our Lord Jesus Christ knows the Old Testament. He has been fasting, which means He has been thinking about the Old Testament scriptures, and He knows that there is no scripture that says that Messiah will starve to death; GEN 3:15. Will He believe it or not? Our Lord believed this and that is why He gave the first answer that He did in MAT 4:4. And this has tremendous application to us: All that it requires on our part is the operation of the faith-rest technique and we can have a life of perfect peace and blessing in the midst of the pressures and testing's and trials of life. There is no command for you to fall apart through anxiety. This leads us to our Lord's answer in verse 4 MAT 4:4 But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'" “He answered” is an aorist active participle, and when you put them together you have an idiom which means He told Satan off. He not only gave him an answer but He gave him a dogmatic answer, an answer which couldn't have had greater power behind it. He simply gave him scripture. For forty days, He had been living on the Word and now He is ready for the devil. Our Lord knew Deuteronomy because He quotes from Deuteronomy and: He gave Satan a dogmatic answer from DEU 6:16: “It is written” = perfect tense, it is written in the past with the result that it goes on forever. 1PE 1:25 But the word of the Lord abides forever. Now,….. Some of you may be wondering how did our Lord know this passage if it hadn't been written yet by Peter? The answer to that is that Peter was actually quoting from the Old Testament in: ISA 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever. The passive voice of the verb “it is written,” means that the Bible receives writing from men as the thought content of the Bible comes from God and to us as the mind of Christ; 1CO 2:16. Prin: Victory always comes through the Word. The Word is the object of the faith-rest technique in our passage. The Word is the basis for true spirituality for the Word teaches us to rebound and to live in the Word of God, which is maximum knowledge of doctrine and occupation with Christ. If you do not know the Word, you do not know Christ. “Man shall not live by bread alone” Remember that: Deuteronomy is the book that describes the walk of the people in the land. “Man shall not live” indicates that it takes more than mere survival to be alive, and to be truly alive is to be alive unto God. Our life relationship with God on this earth is through the indwelling Spirit. When Jesus Christ set up the pattern, He had the indwelling Spirit, the filling of the Spirit, and consequently He indicated that just having food, shelter and clothing and the necessities of life isn't living. Man does not truly live apart from relationship to God, and so, man is not going to live by bread alone. The word “alone” means that real life is more than just eating and drinking in the natural realm because it can lead us to the spiritual food of knowing God. You must have the logistics because you must also eat to survive. However, as we have seen: Relationship with the Lord must come first. Food is necessary to sustain physical life, but the sustaining of physical life is meaningless without spiritual life. Therefore, here are five principles on the differences between physical and spiritual food. 1. Bread or physical food is necessary for physical life but bread is a mere detail in man's dependence upon God. 2. It isn't “the food” but the “promise” which guarantees the food that counts. 3. While bread is necessary to sustain life it is a mere detail of life for survival. 4. What really sustains the believer is the promises of the Word because food and shelter though it can be taken away from us in a moment of time, we always have the promises of God. However, 5. When the time of testing comes it isn't what is in the Bible that counts, it is what you have taken out of the Bible and transferred into your frontal lobe that counts; both in the mind and the heart. And….. This goes with an anagram we use called “Time, Talent and Treasure,” but here it should be called more accurately the anagram of Head, Heart and Hand. I say more accurately because: The Head represents the mind, which is the place where we perceive and understand spiritual truth. The heart is that place where we believe the truth. The hand means you're now ready to serve. And that is what the spiritual life is all about. Learn first, become prepared, and the you're ready to serve. Notice that in the resistance of temptation on the part of our Lord Jesus did not rely upon His deity, He relied upon the Word of God and He resisted this great temptation through the Word of God. This is the principle of divine versus human viewpoint. This leads to the concept that all spiritual victory is directly related to the Word of God. Therefore, notice our Lord's answer. MAT 4:4 But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'" We have six principles behind the first four verses of MAT 4:1-4. 1. Reliance on the Word of God rather than the word of man is the pattern of this victory. This means once again that: 2. All spiritual victory is related to the Word. 3. Jesus never put His own power or His own works above or on a level with obedience to the Father's plan. To rely on the power of the Spirit was the Father's plan for our Lord, therefore, in obedience to the Father's plan He relied upon the power of the Spirit when He used the Word; HEB 10:5. 4. Jesus found strength, not in performing a miracle, but in the Word of God. 5. Reliance upon God and fulfilling the plan of God depends upon the believer become spiritually self-sustained by feeding on the Word and converting the Word into strength. 6. Just as physical food goes in and is converted into energy so doctrine in the frontal lobe is converted into divine power and orientation to the plan of God. In verses 5-7, we now have the second recorded temptation. First of all, let's read the passage. MAT 4:5 Then the devil *took Him into the holy city; and he had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, MAT 4:6 and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God throw Yourself down; for it is written, #'He will give His angels charge concerning You'; and ' On their hands they will bear You up, Lest You strike Your foot against a stone.” MAT 4:7 Jesus said to him, "On the other hand, it is written, 'You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.'" Since the power is in the Word and since Jesus Christ in His humanity is relying on the Word, Satan tried to pull the power out from under Him. He tried to undermine Him by destroying the Word as the norm and standard that our Lord was living in. The principles of the second temptation: 1. The second temptation deals with our Lord's relationship with the Word as an example got us to live in. 2. Since Jesus resisted the temptation to act independently of the indwelling Spirit and the power of the Word, Satan attacks the source of resistance which is the Word itself. 3. Satan attacks the Word by quoting the Word, distorting the Word, and using a passage which is not pertinent to the situation; GEN 3:1-7. 4. To distort the Word by removing it from its context and interpretation has led astray many sincere and ignorant believers. Sometimes the more sincere the believer the more stupid the believer! In Verse 5, we have the location of the second temptation. MAT 4:5 Then the devil *took Him into the holy city; and he had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, The first word “Then” is an adverb referring to the next temptation with the devil taking Him into the holy city, Jerusalem. Some system of transportation was employed that we are not told about. The “holy city” always refers to Jerusalem in the Bible; “Then the devil took Him into the holy city; and he had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple. The word “pinnacle” is a porch, and the pinnacle of the temple is a wing of the temple which was constructed by Herod the Great. This particular porch is actually 450 feet over the valley of Kidron so they are standing and looking over a cliff which was 450 feet straight down. In Verse 6, we have the temptation. MAT 4:6 and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God throw Yourself down; for it is written, #'He will give His angels charge concerning You'; and ' On {their} hands they will bear You up, Lest You strike Your foot against a stone." Satan is talking to Jesus Christ and he says now to His deity: “Jump.” But….. Deity can't jump because deity is omnipresent and is everywhere. So, it can be seen how the devil is trying to distort things. The command is an aorist active imperative, which means that the devil has the gall to command God Almighty, our Lord Jesus Christ, not only to change stones into bread, but now to jump. Jesus had just said previously that He would live by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God. He has declared Himself upon the principle that in His humanity, He will rely entirely upon the Word of God. This will be the pattern for His Doctrine of Kenosis. So, the devil says in effect that if He is going to rely upon the Word of God, there is no reason why He can't jump off this cliff….. And….. He now quotes a portion of scripture to prove the fact that He ought to jump just to demonstrate that He would live by the Word. “for it is written” = Satan is now quoting Psalm 91:11-12 and He rationalizes that because the deity of Christ can't jump he will go back to the humanity of Christ. PSA 91:11-12, For He will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, Lest you strike your foot against a stone. The humanity of Christ is going to rely on the Word of God and the devil quotes scripture to imply that He can jump. Notice Satan's distortions: 1. To jump into the valley would violate the law of gravity and our Lord would be tempted by Satan to prove He is God by performing a miracle from His own deity. 2. In his own subtle way, the devil is trying to trick the humanity of Christ into proving His deity by performing a miracle such as jump and have God catch you. Since you are God, Jesus, then prove it --- jump and catch yourself. 3. God does not protect the operation of negative volition in defiance of divine law by using miracles to solve the problem. God always provides solutions but they are not prayer or miracles but always the Word of God; JOH 4:23-24. 4. If someone pushes the Lord over the cliff then the scripture, which the devil quotes, might apply but there is no one else present to do the pushing including the devil, he can't because of the rules of the Angelic Conflict. Which basically focuses in on “free will” and “being independent” from God. And therefore, #5. 5. There is no protection for the one who acts independently of the Word, even when using the Word in a distorted fashion. Remember GEN 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" GEN 3:2 And the woman said to the serpent, "From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; GEN 3:3 but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat from it or touch it, lest you die.' " GEN 3:4 And the serpent said to the woman, "You surely shall not die! GEN 3:5 "For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." In all these passages, I want you to note how: Satan knows the Word of God and knowing it, he willingly perverts and distorts it. Notice back in MAT 4:6 and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God throw Yourself down; for it is written, #'He will give His angels charge concerning You'; and ' On {their} hands they will bear You up, Lest You strike Your foot against a stone." 6. There are times that you could be falling and having been pushed, God would protect you but this is a case of where you do it of your own volition and this passage does not cover suicide. God does not protect from death that believer who tries to commit suicide. Suicide is the superimposition of human volition over divine volition. Suicide is promoted by Satan to cause people to think that their life has no meaning, purpose, or definition. Satan added to the word to distort the Word. He could not completely distort this passage without a subtle addition to it. There are times when God's protection is definitely promised so we can all learn to wait upon the timing of God. 7. When the believer uses his own volition to operate independently of God's plan, God's Word, or God's Law's, then he is outside of divine protection. And…… God does not protect that believer who tries to commit suicide from death. Suicide is the arrogant expression of a person who does not care about others and how their suicide affects them. Suicide is going out as a loser believer because of selfishness. I am just dealing with those who are religious in this study. Arrogance, jealousy, emotionalism, and anger, selfishness, and negative decisions tell us that committing suicide is a sin; PSA 31:15 My times are in Thy hand; What Does the Bible Say about Suicide? Christians will not find the word “suicide” in Scripture, but the fact that suicide exists is seen throughout Scripture as an evidence of the struggle some have with the effects of the OSN. The Bible teaches that Satan, the father of lies, comes to steal, kill, and destroy but God emphasizes the sanctity of life by giving it to us more abundantly; JOH 10:10. JOH 10:10 "The thief [Satan] comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; I came that they might have life, and might have {it} abundantly. What Does the Bible Say about Suicide? Christians will not find the word “suicide” in Scripture, but the fact of suicide is seen throughout Scripture is an evidence of the struggle some have with the effects of mankind's fallen nature. There have been five suicides that we noted in the Old Testament: 1. Abimelech committed suicide; 2. King Saul 3. Saul's armor-bearer; 4. Ahithophel, Absalom's counselor; 5. Zimri. 1KI 16:16-18. There is only one example of suicide. Judas, Jesus' disciple and betrayer, hung himself when he understood he had betrayed “innocent blood” (MAT 27:3-10). MAT 27:3 Then when Judas, who had betrayed Him, saw that He had been condemned, he felt remorse and returned the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and elders, Notice that Judas felt remorse or felt sorry for what he had done but feeling sorry for your sins DOES NOT SAVE you, it is only one way and one way only - faith alone in Christ alone. MAT 27:4 saying, "I have sinned by betraying innocent blood." But they [that is what religious does once they use you said, "What is that to us? See {to that} yourself!" MAT 27:5 And he threw the pieces of silver into the sanctuary and departed; and he went away and hanged himself. MAT 27:6 And the chief priests took the pieces of silver and said, "It is not lawful to put them into the temple treasury, since it is the price of blood." MAT 27:7 And they counseled together and with the money bought the Potter's Field as a burial place for strangers. This was a burial place for strangers, like our “tomb of the unknown soldier is. MAT 27:8 For this reason that field has been called the Field of Blood to this day. MAT 27:9 Then that which was spoken through Jeremiah the prophet was fulfilled, saying, "And they took the thirty pieces of silver, the price of the one whose price had been set by the sons of Israel; MAT 27:10 and they gave them for the Potter's Field, as the Lord directed me. " All of that and Judas, though he was an unbeliever, felt sorry for his sin but he knows now that feeling sorry for sins does not save you. There are many reasons why people might commit suicide, and some are not addressed directly in Scripture. For example, A chemical imbalance, causing severe depression, or mental illness may drive people to commit suicide. The Bible teaches that Satan, the father of lies, “was a murderer from the beginning” (JOH 8:44). He comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10a). JOH 10:10a "The thief comes only to steal, and kill, and destroy; Satan plants destructive thoughts in people, even Christians, and they may choose to act on Satan's lies and kill themselves. On the other hand, Our Lord Jesus Christ gives is life more abundantly which emphasizes the sanctity of life. Jesus came to give us abundant life and freedom (JOH 8:36; 10:10b). JOH 8:36 "If therefore the Son shall make you free, you shall be free indeed. JOH 10:10b "I came that they might have life, and might have it more abundantly. The Lord doesn't want us to live in fear, but to discover strength and help in Him. ISA 41:10 'Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.' PSA 34:18-19, The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, And saves those who are crushed in spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But the Lord delivers him out of them all. We can cast our cares on the Lord and know He will not condemn us (1PE 5:7; PSA 55:22; ROM 8:1-2). All of us have been made in the image of God and it is extremely important that we understand what that means back in GEN 1:26-27. GEN 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." GEN 1:27 And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Therefore, mankind is not allowed to murder anyone, including themselves says GEN 9:6-7. GEN 9:6 "Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man. And this is why…. Even Cain was not allowed to even kill himself because of how much he messed up the world at that time. Instead GEN 9:7 says "And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it." Suicide opposes the natural tendency of humans to preserve their own lives. It is contrary to caring for others, cutting off the potential for loving relationships with family and friends, and is contrary to loving and honoring the Creator. God wants his children to choose life, not death; DEU 30:19. DEU 30:19 "I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, It is God's sovereign right to give and take away life; JOB 1:21. This is why Job said; JOB 1:21 "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked I shall return there. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord." We are all required to be faithful stewards of the life God gives and the devil is trying to get our Lord to reject that faithfulness from God the Father. Remember that believers are temples of the Holy Spirit and don't belong to themselves. In the New Testament, we learn the Holy Spirit indwells believers and Christians should treat Him with respect; 1CO 6:19. Suicide is not an appropriate response to our problems since suicide dishonors our body and the Lord who created us; 1CO 10:31. Suicide is a rejection of 1CO 10:31 Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Suicide is a rejection of Col 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. God wants us to care for our bodies in the same way Christ cares for the church; EPH 5:29. EPH 5:29 for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, Many New Testament saints and Jesus Himself were tortured and put to death, but they did not commit suicide. Instead, like Paul, they “fought the good fight” of faith until their death (2TI 4:6-8). Nothing can separate true believers from God's love in Christ (ROM 8:38-39; JOH 10:27-30). For the Christian, all sins—past, present, and future—are forgiven through faith in the atoning work of Jesus. Therefore; For Jesus to jump into the valley of Kidron would have meant certain death for His humanity. Now, all of the information from Satan's distortion of the word where we noted the seventh principle that brought us to the subject of Satan's distortions of the Word. The seventh point again was: 7. When the believer uses his own volition to operate independently of God's plan, God's Word, or God's Law's, then he is outside of divine protection. However, I am not going to leave you with that but with something I read from my book on Ecclesiastes. Kenosis is based on the fact that the union of the deity of Christ to unglorified but true humanity is a necessary factor for a winner believer to know and understand. That explains how a believer can be happy in the midst of wild and crazy circumstances. If you love your life, you will have doors open to you that have never opened before. People will observe your happiness and your life and they will be wondering what it is that makes you so happy in an evil world! People will ask you why are you so happy? Why do you seem to be enjoying life so much? I will tell you why which I read from my book on Ecclesiastes that was taken from a song that was both written and sung by Andraé Crouch called “Through it all.” Here is a positive way to end the message and get ready for the Lord's supper. Here's the lyrics I've had many tears and sorrow, I've had questions for tomorrow, There've been times I didn't know right from wrong. But in every situation, God gave blessed consolation, That my trials come to only make me strong. I've been to lots of places I've seen lots of faces There's been times I felt so all alone But in my lonely hours, Yes those precious lonely Hours, The Lord let me know that I was His own. So, I thank God for the mountains, And I thank Him for the valleys, And I thank Him for the storms, He's brought me through, For if I'd never had a problem, I wouldn't know that he could solve them, I'd never know what faith in God could do! Because through it all, through it all I've learned to trust in the Lord. Through it all, through it all, I've learned to depend upon His word. That my friends is the way to live!

GRACE BIBLE CHURCH GBIBLE.ORG ROBERT MCLAUGHLIN BIBLE MINISTRIES PASTOR ROBERT R. MCLAUGHLIN 04/27/2022 TITLE: DOCTRINE OF KENOSIS; PART 11. THE THREE PARTS OF OUR LORD'S EVIDENCE TESTING. We have been noting the evidence testing of our Lord and how: The three parts of His evidence testing challenged His relationship to: 1. The Holy Spirit; (MAT 4:1-4. 2. The Word of God; (MAT 4:5-7). 3. The plan of God; (MAT 4:8-10). He passed the first test which was to use the Word of God as His divine solution to the temptations of Satan. Matthew 4 records the evidence testing of our Lord, which was the first event in His public ministry. At the outset of His public ministry, He was immediately taken into the desert, alone, to face evidence testing. For in MAT 4:1 we read Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. Three persons were involved in the testing of Christ: the humanity of Christ, the Holy Spirit, and the devil. MAT 4:2 And after He had fasted forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. MAT 4:3 And the tempter came and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God [and you are], command that these stones become bread." Our Lord's temptations to His humanity not only came from outside, but He was tempted by Satan personally as He tried to get our Lord to use His divine nature, MAT 4. Let's take the divine nature. 2PE 1:4 For by these He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, in order that by them you might become partakers of the divine nature. The divine nature of Christ was not able to be tempted because God is immutable and immutability demands that God does not change. God cannot change. Even if we are faithless, He does not change; 2TI 2:13 If we are faithless, He remains faithful; for He cannot deny Himself. In Titus 1:2, we have the confidence of eternal life, from a God, who cannot lie. And here is the motivation that comes from having the God that we do. HEB 6:18 in order that by two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible for God to lie, we may have strong encouragement, we who have fled for refuge in laying hold of the hope set before us. Also, our Lord as God is sovereign. Sovereignty can do whatever it chooses and would never condone sin. He cannot do anything that would violate His nature. The sovereignty of God cannot change His mind about sin. The perfect righteousness of God cannot be corrupted by sin. The justice of God is cannot be unfair. This is how the temptations of Christ and who He is, is brought out in MAT 4 and also applies to our Doctrine of Kenosis. There are so many principles that theologians have missed concerning kenosis. Why? Because it means such things as: He had human volition but used His volition within the love complex, an absolute place of virtue. JOH 15:10 "If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love; just as I have kept My Father's commandments, and abide in His love. Again before, we see how the Lord handled Satan's temptation in MAT 4:4, remember what Satan said in: MAT 4:3 And the tempter came and said to Him, "Since You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread." Satan, of course, recognizes that Jesus is the Son of God. Satan is a fallen angel, all fallen angels are in eternity. As far as they are concerned the angelic creation is divided and we have the two categories: the elect angels and the fallen angels. Satan is the leader of the fallen angels and they have already fought in eternity and lost, so Satan recognizes that Jesus is the Son of God but obviously it does not save him. He is already in his category for eternity, which is the eternal lake of fire: MAT 25:41. Since we are in the Gospel pf Matthew, look at MAT 25:41 "Then He will also say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels; He has had his chance and he is out of the picture now, but it should be noticed that the devil and his angels will end up in the eternal lake of fire. REV 20:10 And the devil who deceived them was thrown into the lake of fire and brimstone, where the beast and the false prophet are also; and they will be tormented day and night forever and ever. Satan recognizes that if he can get Jesus to turn stones into bread, even though He is deity [the Son of God], He can act independently of the Holy Spirit. As we have noted, Satan learned the lesson quickly, Jesus cannot be bought for any price. Notice that gall of Satan when he says to our Lord “command” the stones to become bread. Eight points on this first temptation: 1. Jesus is hungry and He has the power to turn stones into bread which would be very simple for the Son of God to do. 2. To turn stones into bread would mean depending upon His own volition and upon His own divine power rather than the power of the indwelling Spirit and the volition and plan of the Father. 3. The relationship of the humanity of Jesus to the indwelling Holy Spirit is under test. 4. Jesus is being tempted to obtain a lawful thing in an unlawful way — apart from the power of the Spirit. 5. Jesus is being tempted as to the sufficiency of the grace of the Father for daily needs. We face the same issue today. The Father's provision is grace. The issue is grace versus legalism. 6. Would Jesus provide food for Himself by turning stones into bread or can He wait for the Father to provide all His needs. He knows that the Father's purpose for Him is to go to the cross and even though He has gone without food for forty days he knows that He will not die until He goes to the cross; that is the Father's plan. The point is: Does He have the patience to wait for the Father's plan to operate or is He going to jump out ahead and not wait upon the Lord? Our Lord knew; ISA 40:31 Yet those who wait for the Lord Will gain new strength; They will mount up {with} wings like eagles, They will run and not get tired, They will walk and not become weary. Issue to us: Do we have the patience to wait for the Father's plan to develop in our lives or do we jump out ahead of it? 7. This introduces the faith-rest issue: Are we going to trust the Father or are we going to do it ourselves? 8. The Father will not permit the humanity of Christ to starve to death because GEN 3:15 and ISA 53 and all of the Levitical offerings tells is how the Savior would die. Now, our Lord Jesus Christ knows the Old Testament. He has been fasting, which means He has been thinking about the Old Testament scriptures, and He knows that there is no scripture that says that Messiah will starve to death; GEN 3:15. Will He believe it or not? Our Lord believed this and that is why He gave the answer that He did in MAT 4. And this has tremendous application to us: Can we depend upon the plan of the Father for our lives or do we have to jump out ahead with human viewpoint? There is just one hitch. If we do not know doctrine you have nothing to believe and you do not have enough faith to operate in the faith-rest technique. This temptation, of course, brings out a tremendous factor: If God doesn't open the door for you tomorrow so that you can see daylight, are you going to fall apart? I told you there are a lot of principles in this doctrine. If you do not see the end from the beginning all you need is to know what the Word has to say and God will provide your daily needs; MAT 6:33-34. Just as He provided the biggest need you ever had, which is salvation, He also will provide the lesser which is logistical grace support; ROM 5:8. Look at ROM 5:8 But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. ROM 5:9 Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath {of God} through Him. ROM 5:10 For if while we were enemies, we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved or delivered by His life. All that it requires on your part is the operation of the faith-rest technique and you can have a life of perfect peace and blessing in the midst of the pressures and testing's and trials of life. There is no command for you to fall apart through anxiety. This leads us to our Lord's answer in verse 4 MAT 4:4 But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'" “He answered” is an aorist active participle, and when you put them together you have an idiom which means He told Satan off. He not only gave him an answer but He gave him a dogmatic answer, an answer which couldn't have had greater power behind it. He simply gave him scripture. For forty days, He had been living on the Word and now He is ready for the devil. Our Lord knew Deuteronomy because He quotes from Deuteronomy and: He gave Satan a dogmatic answer: “It is written” = perfect tense, it is written in the past with the result that it goes on forever. 1PE 1:25 But the word of the Lord abides forever. Now,….. Some of you may be wondering how did our Lord know this passage if it hadn't been written yet by Peter? The answer to that is found in: ISA 40:8 The grass withers, the flower fades, But the word of our God stands forever. The passive voice of the verb “it is written,” means that the Bible receives writing from men as the thought content of the Bible comes from God and to us as the mind of Christ; 1CO 2:16. Prin: Victory always comes through the Word. The Word is the object of the faith-rest technique in our passage. The Word is the basis for true spirituality for the Word teaches us to rebound and to live in the Word of God, which is maximum knowledge of doctrine and occupation with Christ. If you do not know the Word, you do not know Christ. “Man shall not live by bread alone” Remember that: Deuteronomy is the book that describes the walk of the people in the land. “Man shall not live” indicates that it takes more than mere survival to be alive, and to be truly alive is to be alive unto God. Our life relationship with God on this earth is through the indwelling Spirit. When Jesus Christ set up the pattern, He had the indwelling Spirit, the filling of the Spirit, and consequently He indicated that just having food, shelter and clothing and the necessities of life isn't living. Man does not truly live apart from relationship to God, and so, man is not going to live by bread alone. The word “alone” means that real life is more than just eating and drinking in the natural realm because it can lead us to the spiritual food of knowing God. You must have the logistics because you must also eat to survive. However: Relationship with the Lord must come first. Food is necessary to sustain physical life, but the sustaining of physical life is meaningless without spiritual life. Five principles on physical and spiritual food. 1. Bread or physical food is necessary for physical life but bread is a mere detail in man's dependence upon God. 2. It isn't the food but the promise which guarantees the food that counts. 3. While bread is necessary to sustain life it is a mere detail in survival. 4. What really sustains the believer is the promises of the Word because food and shelter can be taken away from us in a moment of time but we keep on having the promises of God. However, 5. When the time of testing comes it isn't what is in the Bible that counts, it is what you have taken out of the Bible and transferred into your frontal lobe that counts; both in the mind and the heart. Notice that in the resistance of temptation on the part of our Lord Jesus did not rely upon His deity, He relied upon the Word of God and He resisted this great temptation through the Word of God. This is the principle of divine versus human viewpoint. This leads to the concept that all spiritual victory is directly related to the Word of God, and your ability to have spiritual victory is based upon your understanding of the Word. Therefore, notice our Lord's answer. MAT 4:4 But He answered and said, "It is written, 'Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds out of the mouth of God.'" A few principles for this first test. 1. Reliance on the Word of God rather than the word of man is the pattern of this victory. 2. All spiritual victory is related to the Word. 3. Jesus never put His own power or His own works above or on a level with obedience to the Father's plan. To rely on the power of the Spirit was the Father's plan for the incarnate Christ, therefore in obedience to the Father's plan He relied upon the power of the Spirit when he used the Word. 4. Jesus found strength, not in performing a miracle, but in the Word of God. 5. Reliance upon God and fulfilling the plan of God depends upon the believer become spiritually self-sustained by feeding on the Word and converting the Word into strength. Just as physical food goes in and is converted into energy so doctrine in the frontal lobe is converted into divine power, orientation to the plan of God. In verses 5-7, we have the second recorded temptation. MAT 4:5 Then the devil *took Him into the holy city; and he had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, MAT 4:6 and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God throw Yourself down; for it is written, #'He will give His angels charge concerning You'; and ' On their hands they will bear You up, Lest You strike Your foot against a stone.” MAT 4:7 Jesus said to him, "On the other hand, it is written, 'You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.'" Since the power is in the Word and since Jesus Christ in His humanity is relying on the Word, Satan tried to pull the power out from under Him. He tried to undermine Him by destroying the Word as the norm. The principles of the second temptation: 1. The second temptation deals with the believer's relationship with the Word. 2. Since Jesus resisted the temptation to act independently of the indwelling Spirit and the power of the Word, Satan attacks the source of resistance which is the Word itself. 3. Satan attacks the Word by quoting the Word, distorting the Word, and using a passage which is not pertinent to the situation. 4. To distort the Word by removing it from its context and interpretation has led astray many sincere and ignorant believers. Sometimes the more sincere the believer the more stupid the believer! In Verse 5, we have the location of the second temptation. MAT 4:5 Then the devil *took Him into the holy city; and he had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, The first word “Then” is an adverb referring to the next temptation with the devil taking Him into the holy city, Jerusalem. Some system of transportation was employed that we are not told about. The “holy city” always refers to Jerusalem in the Bible; “Then the devil took Him into the holy city; and he had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple. The word “pinnacle” is a porch, and the pinnacle of the temple is a wing of the temple which was constructed by Herod the Great. This particular porch is actually 450 feet over the valley of Kidron so they are standing and looking over a cliff which was 450 feet straight down. In Verse 6, we have the temptation. MAT 4:6 and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God throw Yourself down; for it is written, #'He will give His angels charge concerning You'; and ' On {their} hands they will bear You up, Lest You strike Your foot against a stone." Satan is talking to Jesus Christ and he says now to His deity: “Jump.” But….. Deity can't jump because deity is omnipresent and is everywhere. So, it can be seen how the devil is trying to distort things. The command is an aorist active imperative, which means that the devil has the gall to command God Almighty, our Lord Jesus Christ, not only to change stones into bread, but now to jump. Jesus had just said previously that He would live by every word that proceeded out of the mouth of God. He has declared Himself upon the principle that in His humanity He will rely entirely upon the Word of God. This will be the pattern for His Doctrine of Kenosis. So, the devil says in effect that if He is going to rely upon the Word of God, there is no reason why He can't jump off this cliff….. And….. He now quotes a portion of scripture to prove the fact that He ought to jump just to demonstrate that He would live by the Word. “for it is written” = Satan is now quoting Psalm 91:11-12 and He rationalizes that because the deity of Christ can't jump he will go back to the humanity of Christ. The humanity of Christ is going to rely on the Word of God and Satan quotes scripture to imply that He can jump. Notice Satan's distortions: 1. To jump into the valley would violate the law of gravity and our Lord would be tempted by Satan to prove He is God by performing a miracle from His own deity. 2. In his own subtle way, the devil is trying to trick the humanity of Christ into proving His deity by performing a miracle such as jump and have God catch you. Since you are God, Jesus, then prove it --- jump and catch yourself. 3. God does not protect the operation of negative volition in defiance of divine law by using miracles to solve. 4. If someone pushes the Lord over the cliff then the scripture, which the devil quotes, might apply but there is no one else present to do the pushing including the devil, he can't because of the rules of the Angelic Conflict. 5. There is no protection for the one who acts independently of the Word, even when using the Word in a distorted fashion. Remember GEN 3 and the first mention principle. GEN 3:1 Now the serpent was more crafty than any beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said to the woman, "Indeed, has God said, 'You shall not eat from any tree of the garden'?" GEN 3:2 And the woman said to the serpent, "From the fruit of the trees of the garden we may eat; GEN 3:3 but from the fruit of the tree which is in the middle of the garden, God has said, 'You shall not eat from it or touch it, lest you die.' " GEN 3:4 And the serpent said to the woman, "You surely shall not die! GEN 3:5 "For God knows that in the day you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil." Notice in MAT 4:6 and said to Him, "If You are the Son of God throw Yourself down; for it is written, #'He will give His angels charge concerning You'; and ' On {their} hands they will bear You up, Lest You strike Your foot against a stone." 6. There are times that you could be falling and having been pushed, God would protect you but this is a case of where you do it of your own volition and this passage does not cover suicide. God does not protect from death that believer who tries to commit suicide. Suicide is the superimposition of human volition over divine volition. Suicide the words were added by Satan. Satan added to distort. He could not completely distort this passage without a subtle addition to it. There are times when God's protection are definitely promised. 7. When the believer uses his own volition to operate independently of God's plan, God's Word, or God's law then he is outside of divine protection. God does not protect that believer who tries to commit suicide from death. Suicide is the superimposition of human volition over divine volition. Suicide is the arrogant expression of a person who does not care about others and how their suicide affects them. Suicide is going out as a loser because of selfishness. Arrogance, jealousy, emotionalism, anger, selfishness, and negative decisions tells us that committing suicide is a sin; PSA 31:15 My times are in Thy hand; What Does the Bible Say about Suicide? Christians will not find the word “suicide” in Scripture, but the fact of suicide is seen throughout Scripture is an evidence of the struggle some have with the effects of mankind's fallen nature. The Bible teaches that Satan, the father of lies, comes to steal, kill, and destroy God, on the other hand, God emphasizes the sanctity of life. What Does the Bible Say about Suicide? Christians will not find the word “suicide” in Scripture, but the fact of suicide is seen throughout Scripture is an evidence of the struggle some have with the effects of mankind's fallen nature. Suicide in the Old Testament: 1. Abimelech committed suicide; 2. King Saul; 3. Saul's armor-bearer; 4. Ahithophel, Absalom's counselor; 5. Zimri set himself afire in the king's house; 1KI 16:16-18. There is only one example of suicide. Judas, Jesus' disciple and betrayer, hung himself when he understood he had betrayed “innocent blood” (MAT 27:3-10). There are many reasons why people might commit suicide, and some are not addressed directly in Scripture. For example, A chemical imbalance, causing severe depression, or mental illness may drive people to commit suicide. The Bible teaches that Satan, the father of lies, “was a murderer from the beginning” (JOH 8:44). He comes to steal, kill, and destroy (John 10:10a). Satan plants destructive thoughts in people, even Christians, and they may choose to act on Satan's lies and kill themselves. On the other hand, Jesus Christ Gives Life which emphasizes the sanctity of life. Jesus came to give us abundant life and freedom (JOH 10:10b). The Lord doesn't want us to live in fear, but to discover strength and help in Him. ISA 41:10 'Do not fear, for I am with you; Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, surely I will help you, Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.' PSA 34:18 The Lord is near to the brokenhearted, And saves those who are crushed in spirit. PSA 34:19 Many are the afflictions of the righteous; But the Lord delivers him out of them all. We can cast our cares on the Lord and know He will not condemn us (PSA 55:22; ROM 8:1-2). PSA 55:22 Cast your burden upon the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never allow the righteous to be shaken. ROM 8:1 There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. ROM 8:2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. All of us have been made in the image of God and it is extremely important that we understand what that means; GEN 1:26-27. GEN 1:26 Then God said, "Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; and let them rule over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the sky and over the cattle and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth." GEN 1:27 And God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Therefore, mankind is not allowed to murder anyone, including ourselves (GEN 9:6-7). GEN 9:6 "Whoever sheds man's blood, By man his blood shall be shed, For in the image of God He made man. GEN 9:7 "And as for you, be fruitful and multiply; Populate the earth abundantly and multiply in it." Suicide opposes the natural tendency of humans to preserve their own lives. It is contrary to caring for others, cutting off the potential for loving relationships with family and friends, and is contrary to loving and honoring the Creator. God wants his children to choose life, not death; DEU 30:19 "I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that I have set before you life and death, the blessing and the curse. So choose life in order that you may live, you and your descendants, It is our sovereign God's right to give and take away life; JOB 1:21. JOB 1:21 "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked I shall return there. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away. Blessed be the name of the Lord." Humans are required to be faithful stewards of the life God gives and the devil is trying to get our Lord to reject that faithfulness from God the Father. Believers are temples of the Holy Spirit and don't belong to themselves. In the New Testament, we learn the Holy Spirit indwells believers and Christians should treat Him with respect; 1CO 6:19. Suicide is not an appropriate response to our problems since suicide dishonors our body and the Lord who created us; 1CO 10:31. Suicide is a rejection of 1CO 10:31 Whether, then, you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God. Suicide is a rejection of Col 3:17 And whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father. God wants us to care for our bodies in the same way Christ cares for the church; EPH 5:29. EPH 5:29 for no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church, Many New Testament saints and Jesus Himself were tortured and put to death, but they did not commit suicide. Instead, like Paul, they “fought the good fight” of faith until their death (2TI 4:6-8). Nothing can separate true believers from God's love in Christ (ROM 8:38-39; JOH 10:27-30). For the Christian, all sins—past, present, and future—are forgiven through faith in the atoning work of Jesus. For Jesus to jump into the valley of Kidron would have meant certain death for His humanity. 8. It was not the Father's will for Jesus to jump. It was the Father's will for Jesus to die some three years later on the cross. There is a principle behind all this and that is more insidious or subtle than the use of God's Word to get someone to act independently of God. That is the way the woman fell. Back in the garden the woman fell because she added to the Word of God. This goes on all the time and people are constantly misusing the Word of God in order to act independently of the will of God and the plan of God. This is pseudo-spirituality. Satan has used a scripture here that is true but it is not pertinent to the situation. This leads us to the answer of our Lord.

Marika Carter is the Director of Internet Marketing at Scorpion. She shares her wealth of 20 years marketing experience to help home services business owners create strong online reputations. Why Your Online Reputation Matters Your online reputation really matters, especially for home services businesses. Remember, your marketing funnel begins with the consumer looking in many different places for someone to fix their problem. So you want to make sure that you give a good first impression and show up where they are looking. Marika highlights that according to the current data, the consumer typically has five touchpoints with your business before they take action. These touchpoints should be searchable, educational, and valuable.  Apps home services businesses should consider creating a profile on (in addition to Google, service ads, and paper ads): NextdoorHomeAdvisorAngie's ListYelp Porch The final touch? Make sure your information is consistent across all platforms. Consumers Have Options In today's market, consumers have a lot of options and places they can search for information.  “Some studies show that the online reviews are basically 90% of what matters in somebody making a decision. So, in the past, somebody used to just call their neighbor or friends, family, whoever to recommend someone. But now, if you don't have a good set of reviews, and it's okay to have some not so good reviews too, but you have to show that you're interacting with your client, so that online reputation really matters much more so than before.”  Marika's advice is to treat your Google My Business page as a little microsite. If your website is your house entryway, then consider Google My Business your front porch. Populate it with: PhotosCouponsWebsiteHoursPhone Local service ads are also a helpful tool for promoting your business, and it is critical that your team on the other end of that phone number is responsive. You have to pick up the phone. With the high level of competition and low loyalty today, consumers will move right along to a competitor if you don't answer immediately. Responding to Reviews Marika acknowledges that being a business owner and trying to keep track of all of your responsibilities and respond to reviews can be overwhelming. She recommends thinking of your online reputation like building your credit history. Do what you can to improve it and monitor it closely.  Responding to both good and bad reviews as soon as you see them is important. What other people want to see is that you are willing to make things right and resolve any issues that the poster addresses. Be charitable, consistent, and follow up. If you need support, Marika recommends taking action: Choose someone in-house to help you manage your online reputation.Find a trusted, expert partner outside your company to help you.  Marika's Tip for Capturing Reviews “I think people are happy to leave reviews but it has to be in that moment. So, the best way to handle it is to have the technician ask for a review before they leave the house and then follow up from there. But you have a very, very short window to even get that review and you have to ask for it. Some companies, they do friendly competition between the technicians, a little incentive program there to motivate the technicians to get more.”

Tool to optimize the way you communicate In this episode, host Ricardo Berris, talks to Rosemary Ravinal, Zoom Mastery Expert, about a tool to optimize the way you communicate.  -Rosemary has worked as a corporate leader public relations head for companies such as Avon, Discovery Channel, and recently at Univision. Through these positions she found her love for helping executives be more powerful when it comes time to speak. She found they speak in a dominant language and in a second language, a weaker language. Her specialty became coaching CEOs and presidents of companies how they could do an effective speech in the other language. She helped to build their confidence and found a way for them to deliver the same information with authority. This was going extremely well until March 2020. When the world changed, Rosemary had to figure out how to make a curriculum out of it. Like many companies, she decided to go virtual.  -Rosemary wanted to be a public speaking coach but had to ask herself how her expertise, skill, and talent could be used when people were scrambling to figure out how to convey their presence, run meetings, and deal with the ubiquitous Zoom meetings while working from home? How could she show up for people who were uncomfortable being in front of the camera? How could she help with team building and productivity?  -Zoom isn't the only platform Rosemary helps with. Her knowledge can be applied to any video platform.  -According to Rosemary, what are some missed opportunities when video conferencing? Not turning on your video camera is a wasted opportunity when it comes to brand building.  90% of our brains process visual information with only 10% auditory. If you don't show up, you are giving away 90% of your business! Not knowing how to turn the camera on, not looking good, not getting dressed that day, or having a messy workspace are no longer excuses. We've had a year to learn and get it together. Companies are saving money by having their people at home so it's not longer an option to not have the skills to get on a virtual conference.  Showing your face is as important as knowing how to use the different features of the program you use for virtual conferencing. The course of the meeting starts with you. How you show up determines the future of your business, your career, and your brand. It will influence your reputation in ways you can't even imagine. Don't lose your career over misusing this opportunity. Be mindful of what people see. Everything says what we stand for, what we believe, what value we bring, what service we offer, everything. Surround yourself with things that are product or service related . Populate your shot with things that are thematically appropriate and things that offer a lot of visual data that complement what you're saying.  Show up well dressed for the occasion as well as appropriateness of the occasion. Be well groomed. Consider the lighting and the positioning of the camera by framing yourself well and getting the lighting in front of you so you can be seen. If these aren't in place, would you do business with you? Your client has to be able to have visual clues that they can trust you with their business.   With all these people in a grid on your screen it's important you're not static. If you're leading a meeting, be animated, have good body language, and use a good vocal variety to keep people interested. Allow different people to have a variety of rolls during the meeting like monitoring chat or taking on different parts of the agenda. You can also do polls or breakout sessions. This allows you people to stay engaged. While someone else is talking, nod or smile. It's always nice for the person talking to feel acknowledged. Even though you're virtual, you can still be human.  You make an impression in the first 7 seconds so make it a good one. Understand that every piece establishes trust and you have to work a little harder on virtual platforms. -How can you set up your Zoom space? Know your equipment. It doesn't have to be fancy.  You can invest in lighting but natural lighting is great. Make sure you have an interesting background to give yourself some personality: globes, framed pictures, vases, sports memorabilia, etc.  -Rosemary offers a mini Zoom camp , at no cost, on the third Wednesday of every month from 4 to 530 eastern time where she discusses best practices.
