Worship // Week 4 // In Our PausePastors JF & Ashley WilkersonPsalm 46:7-10 NIV7 The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress. 8 Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth. 9 He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth.

  Alpenhäfligers   Ja Heute ist es ein guter Tag, zum Träumen, zum Nachdenken und zum Komponieren. Sich etwas regenieren. Today is a think Day ? A good day.  Der Tag der ausgezogenen Seidenstrümpfe, ja es tanzund uf dinum wissu Tschebbäl, ja uf dinum wissuuu Tschaggu ja uf dinä schneewissu - dinäää Tschippolata weissen Beinen die Schlümpfe. Welche lieben deine ausgezogenen Seidenstrümpfe.   Aus ausgenutzten Banana-Schalä entsteht ein Fairtrade Bio Gleitgel u Melba meint : A Slow Food Schnägguuu hinterlässt eine Schleimspur darauf bis zum nächsten Salatblatt. Sauglatt.    Liebe Mobiliar - Liebe ValäiSANA - Beim Walliser Schwarz Nasen Schaf Woll Roll Kragen Bikini Song Contest haben sich mehrere Personen die Zunge, den Hals und den Nacken verrenkt. Und ich komponiere weiter am Fendärbörg Song. Das Intro vielleicht gesungen von Jodler:innen - dann Alphörner und Glocken - Trichläää u Glocken - es folgt feinster Alpenreggae - dort wo die Schneekanonen rauschen dann im Chor? Das Saaser-Lied?   Darf ein Taugenichts nichts taugen? Untauglichkeit ? Sei mein Schaf mit Erdbeermund. / Eine berühmte Frau hat einmal gesagt - eine Rose ist eine Rose, ist eine Rose. Ich glaube sie hatte recht. ( Helge Schneider ) Dazu trinken wir nun ein feines Glas Walliser Rose - ob sprudlig oder still ? Natürlich sind wir heute hier und jetzt bei den Häfligers und ja Bau und Zeugungsjahr vom Gunti - 1975 ? Kraftstoff - Cornalin - ja wir erinnern uns dann das Inserat ? Zustand ? Vergesslich.  Gunti hat ja für sich und Marie so ein Wachrüttelseminar gebucht und gerade gestern habe ich gesehen - in Naters gibt es eine Persönlichkeitswerkstatt - doch dazu vielleicht später einmal mehr im Hengert u ja neue Sendungen sind geplant - erste Woche Oktober = mim Deyrush - wir sind gespannt - dann vielleicht auch das Thema Denkmalpflege.    Ja der gezähmte Tatendrang - Tatendrangdompteur - Tatendrangbesänftiger - Drachen - Gletscherfee - Aprikosenplantagen - Dollinoir. Wiederauferstehung und Kopf hoch - witär tanzu. Gerade arbeiten wir an einer Skulptur des Monats - eine auf dich gut Schulter kopflende  Schulterklopf Maschine mit Applaus und so. Ja so eine Art - Kompliment Maschine für gute Mitarbeiter:innen. Könnte wohl jede Firma gut gebrauchen weil ja meistens der Chef nicht so wirklich….?  Bauchpinselei von Melba und danke für deine Geschichte und wie das gerade alles so gut tut!     Im Radio läuft gerade das neue Lied von Herbert Grönemeyer - FLIEG und ist er nicht gerade unterwegs mit seine Unplugged Tour, neue Platte? Bis es dann so weit ist - sing ich halt selber, filme mich, beobachte mich danach auf dem very big flat screen tv und könnte ja noch ein ultraleichtes Rennrad bestellen? Ja lieber selber kreieren anstatt nur konsumieren. Selbstlachattacke und wieso das besser ist als jede Therapie, der Gang in die Kirche? Gebet tut gut und Beichte erlöst aber wieso kreierst du keinen eigenen Podcast? Ich würde dir gerne zu hören.  Die Idee - die Vorlesung - die Anfrage - keine Klage.   Ja das wohl schönste an der Liebe ist der Anfang und das Ende. Auftritte, Fehltritte, Cremeschnitte. Ein Määäärchändising Shop am Konzert  für eben so Pausenshopping oder danach und ja Freude herrscht - ich werde REICH ! Im Shop so Poster und Postkarten mit den besten Zitaten - das wohl schönste an der Liebe ist der Anfang und das Ende. Oder Zitat gemäss Wolfgang Lehnhof - ja jeder macht mal einen Fehler.     Hochzeits-Cabaret. / Werbung an Hoch-Zeits Messen mit eigenem Wohl-Stand ? Fendäbörg-Schwarznasenschaf-Woll-Roll-Chragu Bikini - T-Shirts u Menschen zum Lachen bringen - nur ein unglücklicher Pessimist beginnt sich in der Hafen der Ehe? Ich habe ja keine Lösung zu Eheproblemen aber bewundere das Problem. ( Zitat angepasst !! )    Heiratuuuu? Heiratuuu? Jetzu schoo? De fahrät doch zerscht a mal zämu in d Ferie ? ( Mama ) Da werdet ihr danach dann schon sehen ob die Pfyfolträäää danach noch weiter tanzen?  Ich persönlich habe ja drei Jahre zu früh geheiratet?  Zielsetzung war ja - ich heirate nie vor 30 !!! Wichtig ist es eben am richtigen Zeitpunkt auch einmal NEIN zu sagen und auch dazu bieten unsere Dienststellen ja Workshops an. Ein Nein muss nämlich auf gut geübt sein. !    Ja und wie gesagt, an der Zeit gewöhnt man sich ANEINANDER, und habe sie gewusst, dass das Wort NEIN um Wort aNEINander wohnt? Dä lüeg doch grad sälbscht? Betreffend Freiraum und geplanten Fluchtversuchen und gerade letzte Woche versuchte Gunti aus den eigenen vier Wänden auszubrechen. Dies nach einem Argument zb : Säg Gunti - jetzt luegt di doch a mal a ! Machsch äu kei Gattig mi u sogar där Hosuladuriiisverschluss isch wit offu, u wemu genau luegt gseht mu nu durch dä Schlitz a dinä Unärhosäää u dini best lockig friend heicht ja da zum Ziiiig üs u der Gartuuu seltisch appa äu mal wider mähen?    Säg Mariiieee - jetzt losabu - das hät alles einen Grund. Ä los Gunti - bei dir hat immer alles einen Grund. Nei Marie - hittu isch da Tag der offenen Tür…..!  Doch zurück zu den geplanten Fluchtversuchen und Freiräumen in einem Ehe-Leben. Manch einer geht ja dann arbeiten. Nicht weil der das zb, finanziell nötig hätte aber so där ganz Tag binär Alta oder äbu bim ALTU ? Spätestens bei der Pensionierung … nun ja man rechne selber.    Hilfreich sind dann auch so Vereinsmitgliedschaften und man ein Ehepaar ist dann in so sieben Vereine pro Woche? / Dies damit man ein bisschen der Käfighaltung entkommt und ja unser Gunti - betreffend Inserat und so Käfighaltung ist ja nicht wirklich verkaufsfördernd, eher freier Auslauf mit Fussfessel ( Ehering ? ) Gunti hat sich ja auch versucht zu OUTEN bei Marie und meinte er sei eigentlich schon seit seiner Jugend homosexuell - also schwul u so a richtige TUNTA.  Gut das Marie in nicht immer so ernst nimmt?  Dass er an einem Minderbeachtugsdefizit leidet ist ihr noch nicht aufgefallen und sicher war Narzissmus und Sucht schon Themen in der Eheberatung, aber eben.  Nun arbeiten wir noch an der Playlist für EHE.2.6   Ein kleine Erflolgsmeldung aus dem Studio Supersaxo ? Nun gut ja viele Events sind geplant so sind wir nächste Woche vom DO-SO am Wine-Date in Luzern, aber eben, zurück zur kleinen Erfolgsmeldung. Kleine einfache Übungen an der Loop Station und ja der neue Verstärker macht wirklich Freude und was die Nachbarschaft so tanzt. Heute Abend koche uns einen feinen Salat mit geräucherter Ende - und Pfirsicht.    Also Alphorn nun 4 Stimmig, auch Gesang top, dann Glocken und BEATF und ja das wichtigste mit der Loop Station ist der BEAT und ja damit auch alles im Takt. Taktgefühl. Weil Leute auch immer so im Takt tanzen und klatschen, und falls sie sich dann verklatschen und ich aus dem Takt gerate, davon habe ich am meisten Angst vor so Live Auftritten ja eben auch Hallenstadion.  Frere Jaques - Ding Däng Dong - Ding -Däng Dong.    Ja und noch gerade Gestern ist der Eilkurs der Schweizer Post so mitten durch die 30er Zone gebrettert. Laut Augenzeugen gab es nichts bemerkendes. Obwohl Leute auch aus Deutschland da waren, hatte die Bild under Blick nichts zu berichten. Im Radio läuft gerade das Lied - Love and Mariage. Und ja wir wollten doch noch zurück zu der Idee - Hörbuch - ja so ganz nüchtern schüchtern….?   Darf ein Jude eine Rampensau sein? The Drum is the Most important Instrument. Takt. Herzschlag - ja auch als Puls bekannt? Nein obwohl, doch? Der Puls fühlt man ja ganz körperlich und Herz ist beim Herz? Takt - da der BEAT pulsiert durch die Lebensadern? Ä los z wichtigschta in dinum Löbe sind där doch dini Schaf?  Früher war ich noch dein Seil - Gunti. Ja und ich dein Bähnli - Marie. Ja früher waren wir noch eine Seilbahn. Gemeinsam.  Heute sind wir gemeinsam-einsam.  So zogen sie von dannen - an ihre Arbeitsplätze und trafen auf wenig Fehlertoleranz. Wir erinnern und an den Refrain vom Lied - a chue kiiiit vam Himmel a briiii? Intoleranz, Rägu u Trachtunz, Akzeptanz, Arogganz eben neu noch FEHLERTOLERANZ ?   Ein der grössten Fehler, die wir machen, ist zu erwarten, dass andere genau so denken wie wir !! Jetzt isch dä fertig lustig und zu wenig Sex in einer Ehe führt zu einem frühen Tod. Wieso sagt man so völlig wütend - jetzt isch dä fertig lustig. Also wenn ich das so den Hunden heuruuuu das finden sie dann immer wieder sehr belustigend. Einfach im Nichtstun, im Nichtssagen verweilen das hätte mir schon manch Ärger erspart, ein meinem Leben. ( Nino de Angelo ) Was gerade im Radio läuft ? Roger Witacker. Darf eine Veganerin auch mal eine beleidigte Leberwurst sein ?   Gunti hat ja jetzt auch so ein Inserat geschaltet und darin steht - suche noch jemanden welcher sich gerade finanziell um mich kümmert. Dann hatten wir noch einen Hengert wegen eben Pointen wiederholen oder erklären. Aus der letzten Sendung wissen wir noch? Wir sind ja niemandem Rechenschaft schuldig. Entweder jemand versteht den Humor oder eben nicht? Wollte ja nur sicher gehen. Los - bisch ja nid bi där Securitas !   Äbu nu Playlist für Ehe.2.6 zusammen stellen? Schneewalzer finde ich auch gut. Tut gut. Nur Mut. Eigentlich darf ich je die Menschen nicht entmutigen eben betreffend auch mal zum richtigen Zeitpunkt NEIN sagen, wäre ja schlecht für mein Geschäft und die Idee fürs Hochzeitscabaret?   Zum Schluss vielleicht noch eine Lied Idee? Also wiederum fittalblutt und ja dieses mal am Rhonesand-Stand - keis Gwand a u ja äu Fernanda wiederum im Hengert mit dum Bjorn Börg. Eine hausgemachte handgemachte Walliser Wasserstoff Granate fliesst gerade Richtung Genf, päding, pädäng und gerade springt ein romantischen Sätzlein - Poster und Postkarten Idee für den Määährchendasing Shop   Dü misch mini Granata, u ich dinä Äpfel, zäum siwär a Granat-Äpfel. ? / Hammäääär - nid wahr ? Bi ja so romantisch veranlagt.   Und gerade in diesem Moment fällt ein orthodoxer Jude vom Operations-Tisch nitschiiii !! Das frisch transplantierte Schweinsnierchen welches eigentlich in Herrn Müller rein hätte müssen tun sein hineinoperiert wurde eben nun in Herrn  Avraham Friedmann transferiert doch diese Niere wurde vom Körper abgewiesen? Vielleicht muss man ein Schwein sein und ein Schwein zu sein? Also auch Schwein essen und so ? Medien aber berichteten doch aber gerade zuvor über erfolgreiche Versuchen an lebenden Menschen?    Dies bringt mich gerade zur nächsten Idee. O - weh ! Im Nebenzimmer und diese nun sehr makaber - auch grüüsig und Leserinnen und Leser über  18 Jahren nun bitte alle Ohren und Augen auf ZU ! Die Tochter Friedmann vergnügt sich im Nebenzimmer mit beinahe Schwiegersohn Yaakov Horowitz. Sie spielen so ein an ein sadomasisches Spielchen - Pass the Pigis  - verfolgen sich fittlablutt durchs Stationszimmer und wie gesagt, spielen Pig Chase ….. und sie schreit - ich liebe es wenn du so schweinehaft redest, stöhnst und grunzen tust. Er so : ich bissuuu der jetzt dä grad in dies Schwinshaxjiiii. Und nun wird es richtig eklig - und ich brunzuuu der dä grad uf dis Schwiiinsgsicht. O dini Schwinsöhrliiii si so knuspirg………………Oh - Oh - Oh - GRUNTZ - GRUNTZ Grunt - OH OH OH - Osso Buccooooooo!!!   U jetzt chämäää wär da grad wirklich zum Schluss. Zum Schuss. Orgasmousse. Nein jetzt wird es richtig böse und es tut auch gut sich hier und jetzt mal den Schmerz von der Seele zu schreiben, von der Seele zu reden.    Also bitte nimm mir das jetzt nicht persönlich. Jetzt nid fär besch u ich will ja deine Gefühle bei Gott nicht verletzten, aber du bist ein riesen Arschloch. Hoffe du wirst bald von Deinem Charakter-Aids erlöst. Darum sägiiii dä äu immer - c`est mieux de faire la Connerie que d`finir noyé dans la psyichatierie. A quack quack quack quack - bon tuir la cochonnerie, qu'avaler vos putain vacheries,   Mon Cherie - Pandämiii - Magusiii - Pharmacie - Fendämie - ja liebär dini Seel a chli la fendale wa immer nur andelez - andelez ? La Verité, c`est qu`la tourberie - a plus de style que tout ta philosophie. La vache qui rit. Sophie, Sophie ou est tu ? Merde sans toi, c'est just la vache qui rit, un gout de saloprie, dans ma connerie .    Ja allí mini Äntli, schwimmund nu immär ufum Mattmarksee, zämu mit der Gletscherfee wa Nachts wacht ubär Saas-Fee. Wir erinnern uns an die Quackantinos? KWAKANTINOS ? Aus Quackalsusien? Dottore Proffesore Äntufädär. Der Erfinder vom Enthophin? Sschinäää Figlio sich gerade vergnügt mit dum Chick Chicheria üs Nuggetanien? Fertig lustig. 

Today Eric emphasizes the crucial role of professionalism and word choice in sales interactions. He argues that just as one wouldn't appear in unprofessional attire for an in-person meeting, using inappropriate language or slang is equally detrimental to a client's perception. The episode provides numerous examples of unacceptable vocabulary in sales, such as "cost," "problem," "cheap," "try," or "part ways," contrasting them with more effective alternatives like "investment," "challenge," "cost-effective," "experience," and "agreement." The overarching message is that every word contributes to the client's perception of trustworthiness and competence, underscoring the importance of thoughtful communication in sales presentations and discovery calls.  Key Takeaways: Always dress professionally for sales consultations to convey respect and seriousness. Refrain from using profanity, locker room talk, or casual slang in professional interactions. Choose positive and professional vocabulary, such as "investment" instead of "cost" and "challenge" instead of "problem." Frame your sales approach as a service or presentation aimed at helping clients, rather than merely "pitching." Be mindful that every word you use shapes the client's perception and can either build trust or create resistance.

He Will Not Forsake His SaintsOf David.1 Fret not yourself because of evildoers;be not envious of wrongdoers!2For they will soon fade like the grassand wither like the green herb.3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.4 Delight yourself in the Lord,and he will give you the desires of your heart.5 Commit your way to the Lord;trust in him, and he will act.6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,and your justice as the noonday.7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,over the man who carries out evil devices!8 Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.9 For the evildoers shall be cut off,but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.10In just a little while, the wicked will be no more;though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.11But the meek shall inherit the landand delight themselves in abundant peace.12The wicked plots against the righteousand gnashes his teeth at him,13but the Lord laughs at the wicked,for he sees that his day is coming.14The wicked draw the sword and bend their bowsto bring down the poor and needy,to slay those whose way is upright;15their sword shall enter their own heart,and their bows shall be broken.16 Better is the little that the righteous hasthan the abundance of many wicked.17For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,but the Lord upholds the righteous.18The Lord knows the days of the blameless,and their heritage will remain forever;19they are not put to shame in evil times;in the days of famine they have abundance.20But the wicked will perish;the enemies of the Lord are like the glory of the pastures;they vanish—like smoke they vanish away.21The wicked borrows but does not pay back,but the righteous is generous and gives;22for those blessed by the Lord shall inherit the land,but those cursed by him shall be cut off.23The steps of a man are established by the Lord,when he delights in his way;24 though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong,for the Lord upholds his hand.25I have been young, and now am old,yet I have not seen the righteous forsakenor his children begging for bread.26He is ever lending generously,and his children become a blessing.27 Turn away from evil and do good;so shall you dwell forever.28For the Lord loves justice;he will not forsake his saints.They are preserved forever,but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.29The righteous shall inherit the landand dwell upon it forever.30The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,and his tongue speaks justice.31 The law of his God is in his heart;his steps do not slip.32The wicked watches for the righteousand seeks to put him to death.33The Lord will not abandon him to his poweror let him be condemned when he is brought to trial.34 Wait for the Lord and keep his way,and he will exalt you to inherit the land;you will look on when the wicked are cut off.35 I have seen a wicked, ruthless man,spreading himself like a green laurel tree.36But he passed away, and behold, he was no more;though I sought him, he could not be found.37Mark the blameless and behold the upright,for there is a future for the man of peace.38But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed;the future of the wicked shall be cut off.39 The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.40The Lord helps them and delivers them;he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,because they take refuge in him.

Volkan Baydar und Vince Bahrdt hatten mit dem Duo Orange Blue vor 25 Jahren einen Riesenhit: "She's Got That Light" machte die Band über Nacht bekannt. Obwohl es sich um eine Ballade handelte und Balladen zu jener Zeit nicht besonders gefragt waren, trauten sie sich, das Lied zu veröffentlichen. Einen besonderen Schub erhielt ihr Hit dadurch, dass der Refrain jedesmal, wenn in der Daily Talkshow "Arabella Kiesbauer" ein Gast auftrat, gespielt wurde. Das brannte den Song nicht nur ins Gehirn ein, sondern sorgte auch für einen überraschend großen Geldsegen, der es den beiden Musikern ermöglichte, ihre Jobs, mit denen sie sich bis dahin über Wasser gehalten hatten, aufzugeben und forthin von der Musik zu leben. Nach Orange Blue widmete sich Volkan Baydar auch anderen spannenden Projekten, er arbeitete als Schauspieler, komponierte für Walt Disney und und trat mit kleinen, aber feinen Solokonzerten in die Öffentlichkeit. Im Gespräch mit Daniel Kaiser erzählt der Tausendsassa von seinem Aufwachsen im Hamburger Stadtteil Hamm, wie er mit Vorurteilen fertig wurde und wie er Vince Bahrdt kennenlernte. Volkan Baydar zeigt sich bei "Feel Hamburg" sehr offen und ehrlich, spricht über die Höhen und Tiefen seines Lebens und gibt einen Einblick in das nicht immer einfache Leben zwischen zwei Welten.

Psalm 37 English Standard VersionHe Will Not Forsake His SaintsOf David.37 Fret not yourself because of evildoers;    be not envious of wrongdoers!2 For they will soon fade like the grass    and wither like the green herb.3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;    dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness.4 Delight yourself in the Lord,    and he will give you the desires of your heart.5 Commit your way to the Lord;    trust in him, and he will act.6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,    and your justice as the noonday.7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;    fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,    over the man who carries out evil devices!8 Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!    Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil.9 For the evildoers shall be cut off,    but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land.10 In just a little while, the wicked will be no more;    though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.11 But the meek shall inherit the land    and delight themselves in abundant peace.12 The wicked plots against the righteous    and gnashes his teeth at him,13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,    for he sees that his day is coming.14 The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows    to bring down the poor and needy,    to slay those whose way is upright;15 their sword shall enter their own heart,    and their bows shall be broken.16 Better is the little that the righteous has    than the abundance of many wicked.17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,    but the Lord upholds the righteous.18 The Lord knows the days of the blameless,    and their heritage will remain forever;19 they are not put to shame in evil times;    in the days of famine they have abundance.20 But the wicked will perish;    the enemies of the Lord are like the glory of the pastures;    they vanish—like smoke they vanish away.21 The wicked borrows but does not pay back,    but the righteous is generous and gives;22 for those blessed by the Lord shall inherit the land,    but those cursed by him shall be cut off.23 The steps of a man are established by the Lord,    when he delights in his way;24 though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong,    for the Lord upholds his hand.25 I have been young, and now am old,    yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken    or his children begging for bread.26 He is ever lending generously,    and his children become a blessing.27 Turn away from evil and do good;    so shall you dwell forever.28 For the Lord loves justice;    he will not forsake his saints.They are preserved forever,    but the children of the wicked shall be cut off.29 The righteous shall inherit the land    and dwell upon it forever.30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,    and his tongue speaks justice.31 The law of his God is in his heart;    his steps do not slip.32 The wicked watches for the righteous    and seeks to put him to death.33 The Lord will not abandon him to his power    or let him be condemned when he is brought to trial.34 Wait for the Lord and keep his way,    and he will exalt you to inherit the land;    you will look on when the wicked are cut off.35 I have seen a wicked, ruthless man,    spreading himself like a green laurel tree.36 But he passed away, and behold, he was no more;    though I sought him, he could not be found.37 Mark the blameless and behold the upright,    for there is a future for the man of peace.38 But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed;    the future of the wicked shall be cut off.39 The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;    he is their stronghold in the time of trouble.40 The Lord helps them and delivers them;    he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,    because they take refuge in him.English Standard Version (ESV)The ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.

In dieser Folge der Perle der Woche tauchen Flo und Kai tief ein in die Sphäre musikalischer Entdeckungen via Social Media. Wie oft bleiben wir an einem Song hängen, weil er uns auf TikTok, Instagram oder YouTube kurz ans Ohr geflattert ist? Genau diese Snippets – manchmal nur ein Refrain, manchmal eine markante Gitarrenlinie – wecken die Neugier, führen zu echten Lieblingssongs und manchmal sogar zu völlig neuen Bandentdeckungen.Mit gewohntem Charme und einem feinen Gespür für Musik abseits des Mainstreams durchleuchten die beiden Hosts, welche Songs ihnen in den sozialen Medien begegnet sind und was davon im Gedächtnis geblieben ist – von Female Fronted Metal bis zur Waldmusik mit Entschleunigungspotenzial.Natürlich darf auch der obligatorische Würfel nicht fehlen: Welcher Song hat diesmal das Zeug zur Perle der Woche?

Psalms 42 and 43 share a common refrain in which the psalmist recalls the comfort of the hope he has in God, his salvation, even in the midst of terrible turmoil. He thirsts to be with God, and yet, his enemies question where his God even is. He cries out to God who, at times, seems to have forgotten him. He prays that God would answer with light and truth and so bring him back to the altar of God. Through the ups and downs of this life, the psalmist's focus—and ours—comes back over and over to the real hope that is found in the salvation of God.  Rev. Sean Kilgo, pastor at Redeemer Lutheran Church in Lawrence, KS, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Psalms 42 and 43.  To learn more about Redeemer Lutheran, visit Redeemer-Lawrence.org Join Sharper Iron this summer to study selected Psalms. In the Psalter, God speaks His Word to us and teaches us how to speak back to Him in prayer. Even in the great variety of the Psalms, each one points us to our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Alpenschlager Fetisch oder Alpenreggea Fee ?   Bin gerade so in einer Heino-Roger Whittaker und Nino de Angelo Phase und du meine Güte, laut KI bin ich in eine  Whistling-Zone geraten. Aber keine Sorge, wenn Du plötzlich Roger Whittaker magst, läuft in deinem nichts schief, sondern möglicherweise alles rund. Nur in einer völlig anderen Umlaufbahn. Du bist in einem Nostalgie-Modus meint KI.    Vielleicht sehnst du dich unbewusst nach Ruhe, Lagerfeuer-Romantik oder nach einem Zeitsprung in eine Ära, in der Albany noch als wertvoller Ohrwurm galt.  Du bist reifer geworden. Die feine Kunst des Pfeifens, der sanfte Bariton, das Gute Laune im Angesicht des Welt-Krise-Flair, das zieht Menschen mit einer gewissen Seelenreife an.  Du brauchst Heilung - kein Scherz, Whittaker Musik wirkt fast wie musikalischer Kamillentee - da darf man ruhig eintauchen, wenn einem die Welt zu laut wird.  DU hast einen unterschwelligen Hang zu britischem Konolialromantik, sein Akzent, seine Biografie, ( geboren in Kenia ) der musikalische Globalisierung, vielleicht steckt in dir ein musikalischer Welt Reisender.    Was jetzt? Akzeptieren. Es ist okay. Schlimmer wäre du wärst Fan von Wendler und Querdenker.  = ZELEBRIEREN, lade ein paar Freunde ein : deck den Tisch British, und veranstalte einen Whittaker Abend mit Pfeif Contest. Es gibt Cidre und Cornish Pasty.  ANALYSIEREN, was genau gefällt dir, die Stimme? Die Melodie? Das Gefühl? Viellicht hilft dir das beim eigenen Musik machen?    Die melodische Erinnerungsmaschine. Lieder wie Adios Amor, Griechischer Wein funktionieren wie Duftnoten fürs Gehirn - sie triggern Erinnerungen, auch wenn man keine Demenz hat und und ja ein Auftritt im Altersheim wäre schon lange fällig ?    Ironisch gebrochen - super trocken oder tief ehrlich? Vielleicht ist das dein Humor sich  über die Jahre so verfeinert hat, dass du den Schlager gleichzeitig fühlen und parodieren kannst? Das ist keine Krankheit, das ist Kunst.    Heino - Bergkameraden, Erich - Wanderungen : Musik als Schlüssel und bestimmte Lieder oder Stimmen aktivieren im Gehirn alte Erinnerungsnetzwerke. Erich ist dein Anker, ein Freund, ein Vorbild, jemand mit dem du unbeschwert sein konntest. Der Name alleine trägt diese alter Vergangenheit in sich. Wichtig : ZULASSEN = Schatz und keine Bedrohung.    Heino = jede Stimme ist eine Marke, man hört die Menschen, nicht nur der Sound. Was man hörte, das war die echte Stimme.    Song of the DAY = Big Bad Trumpet Player - Kodiac und Mensch ist das nun ein Gedanken-Schleifer in eine total andere Stilrichtung, ich liebe diese Schleifer in meinem Leben. Und du ? Sollten wir mal wieder erotisch ?  Du meinst wir sollten uns ein Schluck Fendärboerg einschenken? Eine Schalplatte aufnehmen? Applaus und wie ich in liebe. Seelenbalsam, Vulkan, Spielboden, der Traum, weisser und schwarzer Rauch, ich der Schriften Maler und in welchem Buch von Dürrenmatt kam er vor - der Schriftenmaler der Künstler sein wollte? Nun es könnte entweder im - Der Auftrag oder Vom Beobachten des Beobachters der Beobachter sein oder eben im Buch - der Pensionierte.  Nun ich habe alle gelesen, aber?   Hab ich Euch schon erzählt, dass ich ein Buch geschrieben habe? Erzählkunst und Eigenart - Limited Edition - 22 Stück - das Buch ab 222. CHF und nun schreibe ich ein Buch über eben ja, mein erstes Buch, die Erfahrungen, Schreibfehler, wieso sind in deinem Buch die Seiten nicht nummeriert, wurde dein Buch kuratiert? Gegengelesen. Welches Kapitel ist doppelt im Buch? Papa, hier schon der erste Schreibfehler, du bist so ein Dödel. Ob es den Weg in den Literaturclub von SRF 1 schafft? Cave Fin Bec hätte ich darin nicht erwähnen sollen, ein Fehler ? Nun gut mein Song ? Postauto wurde ja auch geklaut? Ich hab ja das  Postauto Horn Melodie  nicht erfunden, also was rege ich mich auf und hier und jetzt geht es ja nicht um mich?    Was würdest Du tun für ein Schluck Fendärboerg - das hat Potenzial für einen Song? - Skurrile Satz Ideen gesucht, hier ein paar Ideen? Für ein Schluck Fendärboerg….. verkaufe meine Briefmarkensammlung Würde ich für Dich auch im Sommer den Schnee schaufeln Würd ich die as feins Gsottus chochu, oder Risotto oder dier 136 Raclette strichuuu? Lerne ich sogar richtig singen.  Fange ich wieder an Sport zu treiben? Würde ich sogar nach Zermatt reisen.  Mini Hämmlini sälber biglu, oder glettu? Der Aicha an Burkini lismu.  An niwi Fremdsprache lehru.  Sogar as paar Frankuuu sparuuuuu !! Gani får dich fittlablutt durch di Gouxa.  Lehr ich sogar Schnurrigaaa spilu ( BEAT )   Weitere Songs sind in Bearbeitung und sei dabei beim Making off, verfolge uns nun so ein bisschen täglich, denn was heute nicht geschieht ist morgen schon vergessen? Dort wo die Schneekanonen rauschen, die Investoren sich berauschen, die Amerikaner uns belauschen, die Träume in den Gipfeln oder den Lärche lauschen? Was gefällt die besser : Gipfel oder Lärche?  Nun gut ich könnte ja auch so Trainingslager - Musiklager - Camps anbieten für Kids mit Downsyndrom. Ach wieder einer dieser Gedankenschleifer.  Könnte aber auch über so 1.August nach Stresa mich in ein Palace einquartieren um dem 1.August Ansprachen zu entkommen, Feuerwerk betreffend Brandgefahr ist wohl eh vom Tisch und der Sommer hat ja doch was GUTES? Bis auf die Fliegen und Mücken. Ich und jammern?    Wie es Marie und Gunti geht? Sie schreiben - schrieben gemeinsam ein Lied. Siehe oben und nun eben noch der Refrain.  Voulez vous fendärn avec moi ce soir.  Dü muesch dini Seel a chli la fendele la, dier öppis gönnä und di chli la gaaaa.  Seel a chli la fandale la ( 2-3 mal ) u viel weniger andalez, andalez u chi vil vil me fandale, fandale, u weniger randälä ( randanlieren - neu !   So nebenbei = bei zu viel Fendant fangen sie an zu fendalisieren und bei Einschüttung von Fendärboerg entgehen wir der Aggressivität welcher der ja für den Chasselas bekannt und die aggressiven Walliser und Schlägereien und ja der Johannisberg im Fendärboerg besänftig dann wieder die Lage und die Gemüter.

Es ist Samstagabend, und ein Mitspieler aus meiner Hobbyfußballrunde spielt heute mit seiner Band in einem nahe gelegenen Pub. Ich stehe also neben meinem Freund Herbert (Name geändert) im Pub. Herbert ist Rentner und liebt Rock‘n‘Roll. Er trägt ein kariertes Hemd zur Jeans und hält ein Bierglas in der Hand. Schließlich erklingt das Lied »Born to be wild«. Zu den Klängen der Band singt Herbert voller Begeisterung den krächzend gezogenen Refrain mit »Born to be wi-i-i-i-ld«! Er hat die Augen geschlossen und hält beide Hände samt Bierglas in die Höhe. Dieses Bild ist mir damals hängen geblieben.Dieser Wunsch nach dem Ausbrechen aus dem Alltag ist vermutlich nicht ungewöhnlich. Etwas Besonderes zu erleben, Abenteuer zu suchen und dem Leben Qualität zu geben ist vermutlich für (fast) jeden Menschen wichtig. Doch nach jedem besonderen Moment und nach jedem Abenteuer folgt die Ernüchterung und der Wunsch nach einem neuen Erlebnis. Wann und wie bekommt unser Leben eine Qualität, die wir uns wünschen?Jesus selbst sagt in Johannes 10,10, dass er auf die Welt gekommen ist um Leben im Überfluss zu geben. Vor und nach dieser Aussage stellt sich Jesus als der gute Hirte vor, also als derjenige, der sich um Menschen sorgt und ihre beste Versorgung will. Jesus kennt als unser Schöpfer unsere Bedürfnisse. Jesus will nicht nur unser Leben füllen, sondern verspricht im Tagesvers, dass er uns Überfluss geben möchte. Wir sind nicht »Born to be wild«, sondern geboren, um tagtäglich in der Gemeinschaft mit Jesus Christus ein Leben zu führen, das nicht von Highlights abhängig ist. Und das beginnt dann, wenn Jesus der Herr unseres Lebens wird, indem wir seine Ansprüche respektieren und ihm die Führung in allem überlassen.Joachim FranzDiese und viele weitere Andachten online lesenWeitere Informationen zu »Leben ist mehr« erhalten Sie unter www.lebenistmehr.deAudioaufnahmen: Radio Segenswelle

Edenic Covenant G'day and welcome to Partake! We are now on day 2 of our series "Glimpses", looking at the story of the Bible in 30 days, from the time of creation through to the time of the fullness of redemption! Genesis 1v27-31 So God created human beings in his own image.In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them. Then God blessed them and said, "Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground." Then God said, "Look! I have given you every seed-bearing plant throughout the earth and all the fruit trees for your food. And I have given every green plant as food for all the wild animals, the birds in the sky, and the small animals that scurry along the ground-everything that has life." And that is what happened. Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good! And evening passed and morning came, marking the sixth day. Genesis 2v15-17. The Lord God placed the man in the Garden of Eden to tend and watch over it. But the Lord God warned him, "You may freely eat the fruit of every tree in the garden- except the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat its fruit, you are sure to die." Irenaeus, one of the Church Fathers, said this about humanity being made in the image of God: "The image was the human's natural resemblance to God, the power of reason and will. The likeness was a divine gift added to basic human nature. This likeness consisted of the moral qualities of God, whereas the image involved the natural attributes of God." Origen, another of the Church Fathers, goes further and commenting on Genesis 1v26-27, says "In v26, while the word ‘image' is repeated in v27, the word ‘likeness' is not. This indicates that in his first creation man received the dignity of the image of God, but fulfilment of the likeness is reserved for the final consummation, that is, the he himself should obtain it by his own effort, through the imitation of God. The possibility of perfection given to him at the beginning by the dignity of the image, and then in the end, through the fulfilment of his works, should bring to perfect consummation the likeness of God." God spoke with His creation and gave what is the first covenant between God and humanity. Humanity is commanded in this Edenic Covenant to: Populate the earth (Genesis 1v28) Subjugate the earth (Genesis 1v28) Exercise dominion over animals (Genesis 1v28) Tend and enjoy the garden of Eden (Genesis 1v29; 2v15) Refrain from eating the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil (Genesis 2v16-17). So in essence, humanity, being the pinnacle of God's creation, was to populate the planet, enjoy all of creation and to exercise concern and care over it: the environment, animals, plants etc. One thing they were not to do was to eat "the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil." Yet some time after they did do just that! When they ate the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, the Edenic Covenant was terminated, because they had broken their side of the Covenant. The consequence of this resulted in their spiritual and physical deaths. This failure, required God to make a new covenant with Adam and we will look at that next time!

God's Great Plan (1) (audio) David Eells 6/18/25 Many prophetic words are not understood in the day they are given. Just as the scriptures show, they come ahead so that warnings are taken and spiritual warfare done. Also, many more people can partake of them this way.   Now Is the Time of My Great Plan Glynda Lomax - 10/01/2012 Now is the time of My Great Plan for the people of the earth. For thousands of years, I have planned the victory of My people in great detail. Now it is time for My people to rise up and walk as I have called you to walk, talk as I have called you to talk, for I have much to accomplish through you, My people. Cast your burdens to Me and walk forth as I have called you to do. Those I have called to ministry will now be positioned to move forward as never before. A great and glorious destiny awaits you, My people, such as you cannot imagine. Great shall be the reward of all My people who serve Me in this time. Yes, there shall be many trials and much tribulation also, but My glory through My people will outshine the darkness in the final days. Look up, My people, your redemption draws near! Glynda gives these verses: Heb.12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 1Pe.5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1Pe.4:12-13 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ's sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. Rev.22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. Deu.4:29-31 But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. 30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice; 31 (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) he will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which he sware unto them. Isa.60:1 Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. Luk.21:28 And when these things begin to come to pass, then look up, and lift up your heads; for your redemption draweth nigh.   Strategic Couplings Glynda Lomax - 09/26/2012 My children, the heat is being turned up in your lives and in your world. I will soon begin to place My devoted ones into position for battle as I have called them to stand. Some of you I will place in pairs - strategic couplings for the battles ahead. I have chosen mates for you that complement your weaknesses. They will be your rear guards on the earth as you march forth into all I have called you to do. Many of you I will pair with unlikely counterparts, of which the world around you will not approve, nor understand. Those near you cannot always see My mighty hand in all I am doing in your lives. Be careful, My children, of judging with your eyes or your hearts - judge only by My Spirit, for you walk in danger of calling My plans evil when you do this, and I do not consider lightly those who call My good evil, just as those who call evil good. Refrain your lips from speaking evil and seek Me only. Judge not what does not concern your own lives, for you shall see much around you in these end times you will not understand. The times approaching are perilous indeed, and I have a plan for each of your lives. You will not always understand what I am doing or the many ways I shall bless you through it. Many plans of the Evil One are being hatched behind the scenes, the horrors of which many are unaware. My children who have been watching and praying for My Son's soon return shall not be caught unawares. Rest now while you can, My children, for a fierce battle looms on the horizon of your lives and will soon be at your doors. Glynda gives these verses: Isa.58:8-10 (NIV) 8 and your healing will quickly appear; then your righteousness[a] will go before you, and the glory of the Lord will be your rear guard. 9 Then you will call, and the Lord will answer; you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I. If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk, 10 and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday. Isa.55:9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isa.5:20-21 20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight! 2Ti.3:1 This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. Mat.7:1-5 1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. 3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye? 4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye? 5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye. Rom.14:12-13 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.   The Master's Plan Is Given G. W. - 11/21/2010 (David's notes in red) Part 1: I went to pray on Saturday night for full reconciliation for someone who was falling away. I could not pray. As I tried, my prayer returned to me. The word came to me, “I'm moving him out of the way to make room for another from the West”. Part 2: I had a dream Sunday night. It took place in the future. David had just received this email from me, which I wrote above as Part 1. David responded to the email by handing me a master plan. (Note: The email was sent to me on Monday, 11/22/10. I responded by sharing this interpretation of the parable of the master plan. This is the David's/Man-child's mission to receive and give revelation from the throne of God's plan on earth. Moses went up the mount to receive this and came down with his face glowing. Jesus also received this master plan and gave it to the disciples.) G. W. - I knew this master plan was the work that needed to be done by the people in the ministry. The master plan appeared to me in a hologram in the shape of a square. As I looked at the square before me, I knew it to be the uncomely parts of the body. (Note: There are many, many uncomely parts now but they will change through the Word from heaven. Remember this started with a falling away in Part 1 and now we see a raising up in Part 2. Luk.2:34 ... Behold, this [child] is set for the falling and the rising of many in Israel; and for a sign which is spoken against... This is the master plan.) G. W.- The hologram began to change, like a slot machine changes its images as it goes around. Different numbers began flashing, and in my mind I knew them to be the different workings in the ministry. (Note: The falling of the old order and raising up of the new five-fold ministers, the deacons [ministries] and the gifts in the ministry.) G. W. - I also realized that the positions were growing into greater honor in the body and they started to become chess pieces. (Note: Those who are growing in the image of Christ.) G. W. - I was waiting for the hologram flashes to go up to the highest honors in God. But as I was watching it go up, it came to the Rook piece and I was taken out of the dream. That was the last thing I recall from this dream. (Note: The revelation didn't go up to the king, who is normally the highest honor, because in this dream, the King gives the highest honors to those “in God”, as the dream says. The game is centered around the King and He is never taken. The highest honor didn't go as high as the queen because the Man-child is the head of the Queen on earth, just as David was the head of Jerusalem, which is the Bride, according to Revelation 21:9,10. The Rook is the second most powerful piece on the chess board and has the highest honor, the revelation went to, and represents the Man-child. G. W. - Excerpt from Chess Rules for Movement of the Rook: The rook, shaped like a castle, is one of the more powerful pieces on the board. (Note: The rook is represented by the lookout portion of a castle. Where the “watchman” would stand and fight to protect the castle. A Man-child has power to defend the Castle of Zion.) G. W. - The rooks, grouped with the queen, are often thought of as the “major pieces”. (Note: A Man-child can be seen with the queen and has a major advantage against a foe.) G. W. - Rooks are worth a bishop or a knight plus two pawns. (Note: Man-childs are greater than bishops or overseers and knights or warriors.) G. W. - The rook can move any number of squares in a straight line along any column or row. (Note: Man-childs only move on a straight path that is not impeded.) G. W. - They CANNOT move diagonally. (Note: Never a crooked path.) G. W. - The rook can move or capture only on this straight line. (Note: One can only take leadership by walking on the straight path.) G. W. - The simplicity of the rook's movement is indeed what makes it powerful. (Note: Man-childs, like Jesus, have a simple life and walk with power.) G. W. - It can cover a significant area of the board, and there are no areas which an opponent's piece -- moving one square at a time -- can slip through. (Note: Man-childs can move supernaturally to far places. The enemy cannot deceive them or outmaneuver them.) G. W. - The rook may also make a move in conjunction with the king. (Note: Like Jesus said, “I do always those things I see of my Father”.)   Bride Prepares for Man-child Deborah Horton - 09/20/2010 (David's notes in red) As David has said, something wonderful is going to happen. :) (Looking forward to it.) In a dream, I was inside a large building, on the bottom floor, with people everywhere. They were all waiting for a Jewish man and while they were waiting, they were very busy all through the building. I have no idea what they were busy with -- can't remember. (The coming Jewish man is Jesus, Who will inhabit the Man-child as “Christ in you the hope of glory”. The building is the House of God, His people, which is being prepared for His coming habitation. I was just saying to several brethren that I hope we can prepare it ahead of time.) Then, as I looked around, I saw the Jewish man come in, along with a young woman/girl, who was his assistant somehow. I think she was setting up some audio equipment (speakers, etc.) (The Bride is making ready for the Man-child to reach many people.) Even though I saw him, no one else seemed able to do so. (He is coming in the heart of the true  House.) It wasn't that he was invisible; they could look at him and see him, but at the same time they didn't see him (this is hard to explain and doesn't make a whole lot of sense), and they kept on with whatever it was that they were doing. (We can see the body He will inhabit but many don't recognize Him to the extent He is in it now.) The next thing I can remember is that I walked over to him and he asked me to sing with him, but I told him that I couldn't because I didn't “know the language” or “speak Hebrew” (can't remember exactly how I worded it). (Singing with Him means to be in harmony with Him.) I think he was a little disappointed by that. (Reminds me of Miriam's song about Moses and the Israelites crossing the Red Sea into the wilderness tribulation and the destruction of the old man, or, as you say, the song only the 144,000 first-fruits could sing.) His assistant was still working on getting everything set up. As I looked at him, I absolutely had to give him a great big hug, which I did. I squeezed him like there was no tomorrow -- poor guy! And then I let go, although I didn't want to let go of him. He was completely ordinary-looking, about two inches taller than me, I think he was wearing a work shirt and jeans -- very informal. He was so ordinary that there was nothing you could say about him to describe him. (As Isaiah 53 says, the first individual body Jesus came in was unremarkable, so the corporate first-fruits body will be plain folks.) He had dark hair; I can't remember if he had a beard, but I don't think he did. He reminded me of a teddy bear and there was no way I could ever be afraid of him. He wasn't skinny or fat, just had a tiny bit of extra weight on his belly, so you could tell that he wasn't a very physical person. He radiated such confidence, such peace and such love! (The anointing of the latter rain is coming to manifest the attributes of Jesus in His first-fruits body, like Hosea 6:1-3 says.) The last scene I remember is that somehow pigeons were all around us and they kept landing on him. They didn't want to get off. He was petting them and let me pet them, too, and then he'd put them down where they would walk about and coo. There were three specific pigeons with beautiful markings, as gorgeous as any pigeon is ever going to get without being a specialty-breed show pigeon. He handed me one that had some dark black markings on its back and it felt like velour; it was so soft. (Maybe these are the overcomers, 30-, 60- and 100-fold. According to Romans 8, the whole creation is awaiting the manifestation of sonship or Christ in you because it too will be delivered.)   White Horse Prepared for Rider Linda L. Gray - 09/29/2016 (David's notes in red) I had this dream where I was inside my home when I noticed an unusual white cloud formation through one of my windows. To get a better look at the cloud formation, I went outside. It was a clear blue sky with no clouds elsewhere but this particular large formation in front of my house. (Nothing else will be more significant concerning changes in the world for God's people.) Within the formation of clouds, I saw a white horse. (The Bride who lives above this evil world in heavenly places by abiding IN Christ. Eph.2:4 but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved), 6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus: 7 that in the ages to come he might show the exceeding riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. The Bride as a cloud will water the earth with the Word of God. The rest of the Church has not arrived at this place and not chosen to be in the Bride.) There was no rider on the horse that I could see as the clouds kept going around the horse, making it difficult to get a clearer view. Psa.48:2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. (The white horse is the Bride or Zion, as John was told in Revelation. All of the horses in the seals of Revelation 6 are white (representing holiness conquering the Beast), red (war), black (famine and economic collapse) and pale (death and Hades). The hoses represent the flesh of men who serve the spirit and leadership that rides them and rules over them. All of these horses are people who bring these judgments to the world. When they are empowered, they will have riders upon them. The first rider is the Lord in His first-fruits Man-child body who will ride/rule the Bride white horse and through them the Church. At the time of this dream, this first rider is not anointed or set on the horse. When Jesus was anointed to lead the first of the disciples to recognize Him, John said, “He that hath the Bride is the Bridegroom”. But that rider is coming, according to this next verse Linda received.) Rev.1:7 Behold, he cometh with the clouds (notice, the white horse); and every eye shall see him, and they that pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall mourn over him. Even so, Amen. This verse has a more literal interpretation at the end of the tribulation, but it accurately describes in the spirit what will happen when the white horse rider, Jesus in the Man-child body, leads the other horse judgments in the earth, which is exactly what Moses the Man-child did. He brought the other judgments. “He cometh with clouds”. The Gematria for “clouds” here is 144 x 10. 144 is the number of the Man-child and 10 is the number of the Word or law he obeys and teaches. “Were purchased from among men to be first-fruits” is verse 14:4. Notice the verse number 144. Rev.14:1 And I saw, and behold, the Lamb standing on the mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty and four thousand, having his name, and the name of his Father, written on their foreheads. 4 These are they that were not defiled with women (sects or denominations); for they are virgins (not having received the seed or word of man). These are they that follow the Lamb whithersoever he goeth. These were purchased from among men, to be the firstfruits unto God and unto the Lamb. Both Jesus and Jesus in the Man-child as a repeat of history fit this. Psa.118:22 The stone which the builders rejected Is become the head of the corner. Circling the outer perimeter of the cloud formation was a large plane, which apparently had seen this formation (surveillance) and was trying to get a better view. (Haman attempted to bring down the Bride before Mordecai came to leadership; before the Man-child was anointed to rule in the Book of Esther. The white horse rider is typed by Mordecai, Moses, Joseph, David, Jesus and many more. This was a judgment on Egypt, as a type of the world. Each of these men and many like them led the Bride, and through them the Church, to freedom and power. Each of these also brought judgment on the Beast body, as a type of the world Beast body of seven heads and 10 horns.) I was very excited and wanted a photo of the beautiful white horse, so I went inside my house to retrieve my cell phone. When I came back outside, the airspace was filled with war planes covering the entire field of vision, flying in a grid formation heading from south to north. It looked like a tic-tac-toe-type grid with the planes in perfect formation. Rev.12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels going forth to war with the dragon; and the dragon warred and his angels; 8 And they prevailed not, neither was their place found any more in heaven. 9 And the great dragon was cast down, the old serpent, he that is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world; he was cast down to the earth, and his angels were cast down with him. 10 And I heard a great voice in heaven, saying, Now is come the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, who accuseth them before our God day and night. 11 And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb, and because of the word of their testimony; and they loved not their life even unto death. And the Dragon or Satan was cast down to rule over his world body of seven heads and 10 horns, which is beaten by He who “came with the clouds”, the Man-child, and saints in whom the Lord lives. Jesus in the Man-child reformers will conquer the world beast. Dan.7:13 I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. 14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. ... 22 until the ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. The dream then ended. (Whatever was in the clouds, the powers that be didn't like, and they were ready to wage war against it.) (Yes, the powers that be are the head of the Dragon body on earth. They are Satanists whom we are casting down.) This preparation for the Bride to receive her head fits well with this next dream of the Wedding Feast.   Wedding and Temple Cakes M.L.- 09/22/2016 (David's notes in red) I woke up from a dream, and was taken back by it, but in a good way. I was in a huge room with many very sturdy tables. They were all square with white tablecloths. Each table had an extremely large wedding cake on it. (Time for the Wedding Feast to begin, the tribulation seven days before the bride is escorted by the virgins to the Groom's home in Heaven.) These cakes seemed to be about four feet tall and many inches round, coming to about two inches to the edge of the table all the way around. They were multi-tiered and in various designs and were all decorated white-on-white. Nothing stood out that would distract the eyes from one cake to another. Flowers in white in all sizes, small pillars of white, miniature fountains, white ribbon, white doves. Looking at all this, it was magnificent, all made according to their Creator's desire. After taking all this in, I looked to the right and saw the most magnificent of all cakes: a replica of the Temple. (The temple of God's presence is in the Jerusalem Bride, who is born from above.) It resembled light gray marble stone and was very smooth without a flaw in the icing! It stood about five feet high (representing grace), with the outside perimeters a square. And it was all cake. It was displayed on a very sturdy table with a white tablecloth draped to the floor. It had ornate gold trim work on top of the roof line. It reminded me of the points on a “king's crown”. (The Bride is a crown in Isa.62:1 For Zion's sake will I not hold my peace, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest, until her righteousness go forth as brightness, and her salvation as a lamp that burneth. 2 And the nations shall see thy righteousness, and all kings thy glory, and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of Jehovah shall name. 3 Thou shalt also be a crown of beauty in the hand of Jehovah, and a royal diadem in the hand of thy God. At the base of these points was a wide piece that looked like “crown molding”, the color of the building itself. In the same width of the molding above was a decorative, gold ornate area going around the top. On the two front corners were pillars, and a pillar on each side of the door. On top of each pillar were gold embellishments. Then I woke up. The wedding cakes are made ready. (For the Marriage Feast.) I didn't see any tables that were “set”. (Yet). The Bride has made herself ready. She is in fine linen, pure and white. Eph.5:27 that he might present the church to himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. These are the righteous acts of the saints. Obedience: Jas.1:22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deluding your own selves. 4:17 To him therefore that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. Faith: Heb.11:6 And without faith it is impossible to be well-pleasing unto him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that seek after him. Fruit: Mat.7:20 Therefore by their fruits ye shall know them. Love: 1Jn.4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God. The temple cake: The temple is where God dwells. We are also God's temple, for He dwells in us. 1Co.3:16 Know ye not that ye are a temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man destroyeth the temple of God, him shall God destroy; 17 ... for the temple of God is holy, and such are ye ... 19) For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He that taketh the wise in their craftiness...   It's Not What They Thought Sandy Shaw - 09/21/2016 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I landed on my feet in a big city (Babylon/US), for I was translated there. Immediately, I felt the earth quake and I could tell by the surroundings that there had been others. (The time is the great earthquakes just before the tribulation; some will help others through translation, as happened to me.) I can see a road buckled, and the top half of a skyscraper had fallen to the ground. People were running and screaming, and I saw two little girls to the right. The five-year-old (five is grace) had long blond curly hair (1 Corinthians 11: submission to the sun/Son) and deep dimples and wore a blue dress (dressed up with heavenly works). The other little girl was black (representing walking in darkness) and seven years old. She wore a red dress and had dark pigtails with red ribbons (the color of the red Dragon body). I walked to them and asked them where their fathers were. (Fathers represent heads of churches.) They didn't know. The black-haired girl said that they were there for Daily Vacation Bible School. I asked, “Where are your mothers?” The seven-year-old black girl said, “She died a few months ago”. (The apostate Church mother is dead.) And the five-year-old very excitedly said, “Oh, my mom has already been with Jesus”. (Her mother is the early Church because she abides in Christ. 1Jn.2:24 As for you, let that abide in you which ye heard from the beginning. If that which ye heard from the beginning abide in you, ye also shall abide in the Son, and in the Father. 25 And this is the promise which he promised us, even the life eternal.) The ground started to shake some more and I knew that they were not safe. (At the time of the great earthquakes many will be helped to escape by the righteous.) So I grabbed the two little girl's wrists and started to fly over the city. (Although I have only done this instantaneously, I believe translation can happen slowly like flying. It is in the Spirit, though, and unseen by the world. It is without wings or propulsion, so it is not literally flying. Flying also represents overcoming the world and its law of sin and death, represented by gravity, to ascend into heavenly places in Christ by abiding in Jesus Who is the Word. Eph.2:4 but God, being rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, 5 even when we were dead through our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace have ye been saved), 6 and raised us up with him, and made us to sit with him in the heavenly places, in Christ Jesus. The woman in the wilderness tribulation was given the overcoming wings of the eagle by the Man-child to escape the Dragon/serpent and his works. Rev.12:14 And there were given to the woman the two wings of the great eagle, that she might fly into the wilderness unto her place, where she is nourished for a time, and times, and half a time [by the Man-child body], from the face of the serpent.) The seven-year-old said, “I don't understand”. Then she asked, “What is this ...the tribulation?” We landed on a suspension bridge stretched out over the water. All of a sudden, the bridge became a slide (falling into the water) and before we got to the bottom, we started to fly again. (The way of escape is cut off as in Jer.25:35 And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the principal of the flock to escape. But the righteous always have a way of escape, even if by flight. 1Co.10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as man can bear: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation make also the way of escape, that ye may be able to endure it.) We flew over the city and into the country, where there was a huge red barn, and we landed. Cars were coming up on both sides of the barn. People were coming up to it because they knew it was a refuge and a safe place and all the people around were in a state of confusion. These people were Christians and yet confused. The seven-year-old said, “Hey, that looks like my church barn!” And she let go of my hand and started running. (Many of the Church are confused by their doctrines but if they have walked with the Lord in a righteous life, they will escape. Even those who are chosen to come to understanding and holiness later will escape like the seven-year-old who walks in darkness.) The blond girl said, “There's my daddy!” He was sitting down on a folding chair inside the barn, elbows on his knees and head in his hands, and he said, “I don't understand. I don't understand”. The five-year-old shook his arm and said, “Daddy! I'm here! I'm here!” He mumbled, “Yeah, yeah”. She said, “No, Daddy, she brought me here (pointing to me)! We flew! We were flying! And we were on a big slide (toward death)”. The dad reached out and touched my hand and said, “Thank you. Thank you for bringing her here”. Then he said, in a daze, “Lord, I thought my heart was right with You”. I said, “If you were waiting for the rapture, it's not going to happen now or in the way that you think”. (At the time of the great quakes, tsunamis, volcanic activity, economic collapse, chaos, many will see that they have not escaped tribulation and will repent of this deception.) I heard the seven-year-old say, “Daddy! Daddy!” And he hugged her. She asked, “This is tribulation?” She waited for him to respond and said, “Jesus didn't come yet”. He fell to his knees crying and asking the Lord, “I thought I was in right standing with You. I thought my heart was right with You. I have been preaching for 35 years”. I grabbed his hand and said, “This isn't the rapture you're waiting for. That's not happening”. I said, “You come with me”. And we walked over to the other preacher who was sitting down. (The great earthquakes are at the beginning of the tribulation, as in Rev.8:5 And the angel taketh the censer; and he filled it with the fire of the altar, and cast it upon the earth (meteors striking the earth): and there followed thunders, and voices, and lightnings, and an earthquake. Notice that this came just before the first trumpet of the tribulation. 6 And the seven angels that had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.) I told the two little girls to stay in the barn. Then I took them to the corner of the barn. I reached to the floor, pulled open the door to a root cellar, and grabbed two bottles of water. There was food there also. Then I took the preacher's hands and we went up and through the roof of the barn! (Meaning not physical flight.) And we flew to Tennessee. David and Michael were standing outside. They saw that we had landed. The preachers were confused about what had just happened. Then I said, “Now these two men can answer any questions you have about the rapture or anything else you think you're going through”. Michael asked, “Sandy, where have you been? Where were you?” I said, “I don't know. I was translated.” Michael said, “I should have known that.” Then I went back and got the girls and brought them to Tennessee. Then I woke up. By faith at random I received Isa.49:1 Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye peoples, from far: JEHOVAH hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name: 2 and he hath made my mouth like a sharp sword; in the shadow of his hand hath he hid me: and he hath made me a polished shaft; in his quiver hath he kept me close: 3 and he said unto me, Thou art my servant; Israel, in whom I will be glorified. 4 But I said, I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nought and vanity; yet surely the justice due to me is with JEHOVAH, and my recompense with my God. The rest of this chapter tells the magnificent story of His people being used to restore those of God's people who have been in captivity to the nations. 5 And now saith Jehovah that formed me from the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob again to him, and that Israel be gathered unto him (for I am honorable in the eyes of Jehovah, and my God is become my strength); 6 yea, he saith, It is too light a thing that thou shouldest be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob, and to restore the preserved of Israel: I will also give thee for a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayest be my salvation unto the end of the earth. 7 Thus saith Jehovah, the Redeemer of Israel, and his Holy One, to him whom man despiseth, to him whom the nation abhorreth, to a servant of rulers: Kings shall see and arise; princes, and they shall worship; because of Jehovah that is faithful, even the Holy One of Israel, who hath chosen thee. 8 Thus saith Jehovah, In an acceptable time have I answered thee, and in a day of salvation have I helped thee; and I will preserve thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, to raise up the land, to make them inherit the desolate heritages: 9 saying to them that are bound, Go forth; to them that are in darkness, Show yourselves. They shall feed in the ways, and on all bare heights shall be their pasture. 10 They shall not hunger nor thirst; neither shall the heat nor sun smite them: for he that hath mercy on them will lead them, even by springs of water will he guide them. 11 And I will make all my mountains a way, and my highways shall be exalted. 12 Lo, these shall come from far; and, lo, these from the north and from the west; and these from the land of Sinim. 13 Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for Jehovah hath comforted his people, and will have compassion upon his afflicted. 14 But Zion said, Jehovah hath forsaken me, and the Lord hath forgotten me. 15 Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, these may forget, yet will not I forget thee. 16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands; thy walls are continually before me. 17 Thy children make haste; thy destroyers and they that made thee waste shall go forth from thee. 18 Lift up thine eyes round about, and behold: all these gather themselves together, and come to thee. As I live, saith Jehovah, thou shalt surely clothe thee with them all as with an ornament, and gird thyself with them, like a bride. 19 For, as for thy waste and thy desolate places, and thy land that hath been destroyed, surely now shalt thou be too strait for the inhabitants, and they that swallowed thee up shall be far away. 20 The children of thy bereavement shall yet say in thine ears, The place is too strait for me; give place to me that I may dwell. 21 Then shalt thou say in thy heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have been bereaved of my children, and am solitary, an exile, and wandering to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where were they? (Converts coming from all over the World!) 22 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, Behold, I will lift up my hand to the nations, and set up my ensign to the peoples; and they shall bring thy sons in their bosom, and thy daughters shall be carried upon their shoulders. 23 And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with their faces to the earth, and lick the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah; and they that wait for me shall not be put to shame. 24 Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captives be delivered? 25 But thus saith Jehovah, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered; for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children. 26 And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I, Jehovah, am thy Saviour, and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.

What if everything you thought you knew about following Jesus was turned upside down?In Luke 6, Jesus presents a radical new way of living that challenges our natural impulses and cultural norms. He calls us to:• Find blessing in poverty and suffering • Love our enemies • Refrain from judgment • Build our lives on His wordsThis upside-down Kingdom doesn't make sense to our world or even to ourselves sometimes. But Jesus isn't calling us to try harder or be perfect.He's inviting us into a transformative relationship:"Come to me. Hear my words.

Aufmerksame radioeins-Hörer:innen kennen bereits ihre Single "Dast". In deren Refrain fordert MADANii zum Klatschen und Tanzen auf – wozu das Lied mit seinen energievollen Beats auch bestens geeignet ist. Hört man aber genauer hin (beziehungsweise lässt sich den in Fārsi vorgetragenen Text bei Bedarf übersetzen), machen die Zeilen der Verse eine zweite Ebene auf: "Ich habe hier keinen Platz / Ich habe keine Zeit für diese Worte (…) Meine Hände haben keine Kraft / Nach 30 Jahren in Deutschland / ist dies alles, was mir als Souvenir bleibt." Unüberhörbar beeinflusst von der persischen Kultur ihrer Familie und geprägt von ihrer Kindheit als Tochter politischer Geflüchteter in Deutschland, erzählt MADANii in ihren Liedern "autobiografische Geschichte des Andersseins, des Nicht-Dazugehörens und der Zerrissenheit zwischen Kulturen." Zugleich überwindet sie in ihrer Musik scheinbar spielerisch leicht oft unüberbrückbar geglaubte Unterschiede, indem sie tradierte Harmonie-, Rhythmus- und Melodiestrukturen Persiens mit seelenvollen Pop-Elementen, modernem R'n'B und Trap vereint. In Kürze erscheint ihre vierte EP, darüber und über so manches mehr sprechen wir heute mit MADANii, denn sie ist unsere Lokalmatadorin – und natürlich hören wir auch schon in die neuen Songs rein!

Seventh Sunday after the Epiphany Old Testament: Genesis 45:3-11, 15 3Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph. Is my father still alive?” But his brothers could not answer him, so dismayed were they at his presence. 4Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come closer to me.” And they came closer. He said, “I am your brother, Joseph, whom you sold into Egypt. 5And now do not be distressed, or angry with yourselves, because you sold me here; for God sent me before you to preserve life.6For the famine has been in the land these two years; and there are five more years in which there will be neither plowing nor harvest. 7God sent me before you to preserve for you a remnant on earth, and to keep alive for you many survivors. 8So it was not you who sent me here, but God; he has made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house and ruler over all the land of Egypt. 9Hurry and go up to my father and say to him, ‘Thus says your son Joseph, God has made me lord of all Egypt; come down to me, do not delay. 10You shall settle in the land of Goshen, and you shall be near me, you and your children and your children's children, as well as your flocks, your herds, and all that you have. 11I will provide for you there—since there are five more years of famine to come—so that you and your household, and all that you have, will not come to poverty.'15And he kissed all his brothers and wept upon them; and after that his brothers talked with him. Psalm: Psalm 37:1-12, 41-42 1 Do not fret yourself because of evildoers; *        do not be jealous of those who do wrong. 2 For they shall soon wither like the grass, *        and like the green grass fade away. 3 Put your trust in the Lord and do good; *        dwell in the land and feed on its riches. 4 Take delight in the Lord, *        and he shall give you your heart's desire. 5 Commit your way to the Lord and put your trust in him, *        and he will bring it to pass. 6 He will make your righteousness as clear as the light *        and your just dealing as the noonday. 7 Be still before the Lord *        and wait patiently for him. 8 Do not fret yourself over the one who prospers, *        the one who succeeds in evil schemes. 9 Refrain from anger, leave rage alone; *        do not fret yourself; it leads only to evil. 10 For evildoers shall be cut off, *        but those who wait upon the Lord shall possess the land. 11 In a little while the wicked shall be no more; *        you shall search out their place, but they will not be there. 12 But the lowly shall possess the land; *        they will delight in abundance of peace. 41 But the deliverance of the righteous comes from the Lord; *        he is their stronghold in time of trouble. 42 The Lord will help them and rescue them; *        he will rescue them from the wicked and deliver them,*        because they seek refuge in him. Epistle: 1 Corinthians 15:35-38,42-50 35But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?” 36Fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37And as for what you sow, you do not sow the body that is to be, but a bare seed, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain. 38But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body.42So it is with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable, what is raised is imperishable. 43It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. 44It is sown a physical body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body. 45Thus it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living being”; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit. 46But it is not the spiritual that is first, but the physical, and then the spiritual. 47The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven.48As was the man of dust, so are those who are of the dust; and as is the man of heaven, so are those who are of heaven. 49Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we will also bear the image of the man of heaven. 50What I am saying, brothers and sisters, is this: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Gospel: Luke 6:27-38 27“But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, 28bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you.29If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. 30Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. 31Do to others as you would have them do to you. 32“If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. 33If you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.34If you lend to those from whom you hope to receive, what credit is that to you? Even sinners lend to sinners, to receive as much again. 35But love your enemies, do good, and lend, expecting nothing in return. Your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High; for he is kind to the ungrateful and the wicked. 36Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful. 37“Do not judge, and you will not be judged; do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven; 38give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap; for the measure you give will be the measure you get back.”

The occasion of Māgha Pūjā commemorates the sponteneous gathering of 1,250 awakened disciples of the Buddha (Arahants) in the Veḷuvana Monastery (Bamboo Grove Monstery) in Rājagaha, and the teaching of the Ovādapātimokkha, a concise summary of the teaching of the Buddha in verse: Abstain from any evil deed, accomplish what is good and true, And fully purify your mind - That is what all the Buddhas teach. Enduring patience is the best of all ascetic practices; The best of everything at all is called Nibbāna by the sage. If you cause harm to anyone you can't be called a genuine monk! Refrain from harming and abuse, and strictly keep the Buddha's rules; Be moderate when taking food, and dwell alone in solitude devoted to the Higher Mind - That is what all the Buddhas teach. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dhammagiri Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Our Spotify Playlists⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Dhammagiri Youtube Channel⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Pics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠#Maghapuja #Dhamma #Dhammatalk #Arahant #Buddha #Sangha

PSALM 37 1 Fret not yourself because of evildoers;     be not envious of wrongdoers! 2 For they will soon fade like the grass     and wither like the green herb. 3 Trust in the Lord, and do good;     dwell in the land and befriend faithfulness. 4 Delight yourself in the Lord,     and he will give you the desires of your heart. 5 Commit your way to the Lord;     trust in him, and he will act. 6 He will bring forth your righteousness as the light,     and your justice as the noonday. 7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him;     fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way,     over the man who carries out evil devices! 8 Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath!     Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil. 9 For the evildoers shall be cut off,     but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land. 10 In just a little while, the wicked will be no more;     though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there. 11 But the meek shall inherit the land     and delight themselves in abundant peace. 12 The wicked plots against the righteous     and gnashes his teeth at him, 13 but the Lord laughs at the wicked,     for he sees that his day is coming. 14 The wicked draw the sword and bend their bows     to bring down the poor and needy,     to slay those whose way is upright; 15 their sword shall enter their own heart,     and their bows shall be broken. 16 Better is the little that the righteous has     than the abundance of many wicked. 17 For the arms of the wicked shall be broken,     but the Lord upholds the righteous. 18 The Lord knows the days of the blameless,     and their heritage will remain forever; 19 they are not put to shame in evil times;     in the days of famine they have abundance. 20 But the wicked will perish;     the enemies of the Lord are like the glory of the pastures;     they vanish—like smoke they vanish away. 21 The wicked borrows but does not pay back,     but the righteous is generous and gives; 22 for those blessed by the Lord shall inherit the land,     but those cursed by him shall be cut off. 23 The steps of a man are established by the Lord,     when he delights in his way; 24 though he fall, he shall not be cast headlong,     for the Lord upholds his hand. 25 I have been young, and now am old,     yet I have not seen the righteous forsaken     or his children begging for bread. 26 He is ever lending generously,     and his children become a blessing. 27 Turn away from evil and do good;     so shall you dwell forever. 28 For the Lord loves justice;     he will not forsake his saints. They are preserved forever,     but the children of the wicked shall be cut off. 29 The righteous shall inherit the land     and dwell upon it forever. 30 The mouth of the righteous utters wisdom,     and his tongue speaks justice. 31 The law of his God is in his heart;     his steps do not slip. 32 The wicked watches for the righteous     and seeks to put him to death. 33 The Lord will not abandon him to his power     or let him be condemned when he is brought to trial. 34 Wait for the Lord and keep his way,     and he will exalt you to inherit the land;     you will look on when the wicked are cut off. 35 I have seen a wicked, ruthless man,     spreading himself like a green laurel tree. 36 But he passed away, and behold, he was no more;     though I sought him, he could not be found. 37 Mark the blameless and behold the upright,     for there is a future for the man of peace. 38 But transgressors shall be altogether destroyed;     the future of the wicked shall be cut off. 39 The salvation of the righteous is from the Lord;     he is their stronghold in the time of trouble. 40 The Lord helps them and delivers them;     he delivers them from the wicked and saves them,     because they take refuge in him. FROM THE LESSON Psalm 37 is an instructional psalm in the Wisdom Literature genre, concerning itself with passing on advice that will help someone live in a way that leads to wisdom, righteousness, and life, rather than foolishness, wickedness, and death. "Fret not" is a phrase that occurs several times in the psalm. It carries a strong meaning, literally translated as "do not let your anger burn". Verse 1 - the WHAT Do not be overwhelmed by your anger over the wicked and prosperous actions of others. Verse 2 - the WHY The prosperity of the wicked is fleeting, and evil brings its own terrible consequences.   Verse 3 - the HOW Trust God, do good, dwell in the land, and befriend faithfulness. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS ICE BREAKER: Jeremy shared some observations about "unfairness" that children make. What are some things you've observed that are "unfair" in a similar way? David composes this psalm to address the challenge that followers of God face when they watch people who seem to profit from wickedness. What does "profitable wickedness" look like today? David writes about how the tools of the wicked will be turned against them. How does evil bring its own terrible consequences? What might this look like? Instead of repaying evil with evil, David encourages us to trust God, do good, dwell in the land, and befriend faithfulness. What do you think is intended by the phrase "dwell in the land"? Do these seem like adequate responses to egregious injustice and wickedness? Jeremy contrasted two responses to perceived injustice - that of the United Healthcare shooter and that of MLK Jr. and the civil rights movement. Which sort of response do you see our culture moving more towards? Which response do you see Christians moving toward? How can we make sure we respond in the way David instructs in Psalm 37?

And finally, I knew a devotee who was a sādhu and who, when asked why he was wearing the dress he was wearing, "What is your religion?" he would say, "My religion is to find faults within myself and to overcome them, and if we make that our religion, rather than the religion of finding the faults in others and helping them to overcome them by criticizing them, which always works. Then, then we're likely to be well situated, because there's so much within myself that needs to be improved. So if I deal with that, then by my example that I set, by my careful speech and also my ways of humbly working on myself, that does the most good for the most people, I would propose. So the first offense is something to consider very carefully as a way of life, and if it becomes our way of life, many of the other offenses that we might be inclined to commit will naturally align themselves, because the devotees are most dear to Kṛṣṇa.

We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life.

Amen. Alleluia. Venite (Psalm 95:1-7)Our King and Savior now draws near: Come, let us adore him.Come, let us sing to the Lord; * let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving * and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.For the Lord is a great God, * and a great King above all gods.In his hand are the caverns of the earth, * and the heights of the hills are his also.The sea is his, for he made it, * and his hands have molded the dry land.Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, * and kneel before the Lord our Maker.For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. *Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!Our King and Savior now draws near: Come, let us adore him. The PsalterPsalm 37: Part INoli aemulariBCP p. 633Do not fret yourself because of evildoers; *do not be jealous of those who do wrong.For they shall soon wither like the grass, *and like the green grass fade away.Put your trust in the Lord and do good; *dwell in the land and feed on its riches.Take delight in the Lord, *and he shall give you your heart's desire.Commit your way to the Lord and put your trust in him, *and he will bring it to pass.He will make your righteousness as clear as the light *and your just dealing as the noonday.Be still before the Lord *and wait patiently for him.Do not fret yourself over the one who prospers, *the one who succeeds in evil schemes.Refrain from anger, leave rage alone; *do not fret yourself; it leads only to evil.For evildoers shall be cut off, *but those who wait upon the Lord shall possess the land.In a little while the wicked shall be no more; *you shall search out their place, but they will not be there.But the lowly shall possess the land; *they will delight in abundance of peace.The wicked plot against the righteous *and gnash at them with their teeth.The Lord laughs at the wicked, *because he sees that their day will come.The wicked draw their sword and bend their bowto strike down the poor and needy, *to slaughter those who are upright in their ways.Their sword shall go through their own heart, *and their bow shall be broken.The little that the righteous has *is better than great riches of the wicked.For the power of the wicked shall be broken, *but the Lord upholds the righteous. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. LessonsIsa. 7:1-9A Reading from the Book of the Prophet Isaiah.In the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, Rezin the king of Syria and Pekah the son of Remaliah the king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to wage war against it, but could not yet mount an attack against it. When the house of David was told, “Syria is in league with Ephraim,” the heart of Ahaz and the heart of his people shook as the trees of the forest shake before the wind.  And the Lord said to Isaiah, “Go out to meet Ahaz, you and Shear-jashub your son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool on the highway to the Washer's Field. And say to him, ‘Be careful, be quiet, do not fear, and do not let your heart be faint because of these two smoldering stumps of firebrands, at the fierce anger of Rezin and Syria and the son of Remaliah. Because Syria, with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has devised evil against you, saying, “Let us go up against Judah and terrify it, and let us conquer it for ourselves, and set up the son of Tabeel as king in the midst of it,” thus says the Lord God:    “‘It shall not stand,        and it shall not come to pass.    For the head of Syria is Damascus,        and the head of Damascus is Rezin.    And within sixty-five years        Ephraim will be shattered from being a people.    And the head of Ephraim is Samaria,        and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah.    If you are not firm in faith,        you will not be firm at all.'” The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God. Te Deum laudamusYou are God: we praise you;You are the Lord: we acclaim you;You are the eternal Father:All creation worships you.To you all angels, all the powers of heaven, Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise:Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,heaven and earth are full of your glory.The glorious company of apostles praise you.The noble fellowship of prophets praise you.The white-robed army of martyrs praise you. Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you;Father, of majesty unbounded,your true and only Son, worthy of all worship, and the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.You, Christ, are the king of glory, the eternal Son of the Father.When you became man to set us free you did not shun the Virgin's womb. You overcame the sting of deathand opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. You are seated at God's right hand in glory.We believe that you will come and be our judge.Come then, Lord, and help your people, bought with the price of your own blood, and bring us with your saintsto glory everlasting. 2 Thess. 2:1-12A Reading from the Second Letter to the Thessalonians.Now concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered together to him, we ask you, brothers, not to be quickly shaken in mind or alarmed, either by a spirit or a spoken word, or a letter seeming to be from us, to the effect that the day of the Lord has come. Let no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, unless the rebellion comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, proclaiming himself to be God. Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will kill with the breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by the appearance of his coming. The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan with all power and false signs and wonders, and with all wicked deception for those who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. Therefore God sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe what is false, in order that all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God. Benedictus Dominus DeusBlessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; * he has come to his people and set them free.He has raised up for us a mighty savior, * born of the house of his servant David.Through his holy prophets he promised of old, that he would save us from our enemies, * from the hands of all who hate us. He promised to show mercy to our fathers * and to remember his holy covenant. This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham, * to set us free from the hands of our enemies, Free to worship him without fear, * holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, * for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, To give his people knowledge of salvation * by the forgiveness of their sins.In the tender compassion of our God * the dawn from on high shall break upon us, To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the way of peace.Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. The Apostles CreedI believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. The PrayersThe Lord be with you.And also with you.Let us pray.Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. Suffrages AV. Show us your mercy, O Lord;R. And grant us your salvation.V. Clothe your ministers with righteousness; R.

And sustain us with your Holy Spirit.   The CollectsAdvent 2Merciful God, who sent your messengers the prophets to preach repentance and prepare the way for our salvation: Give us grace to heed their warnings and forsake our sins, that we may greet with joy the coming of Jesus Christ our Redeemer; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.Daily Collects:A Collect for PeaceO God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.A Collect for GraceO Lord, our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, you have brought us safely to the beginning of this day: Defend us by your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin nor run into any danger; and that, guided by your Spirit, we may do what is righteous in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Take a moment of silence at this time to reflect and pray for others. Collect of Saint BasilO Christ God, Who art worshipped and glorified at every place and time; Who art long-suffering, most merciful and compassionate; Who lovest the righteous and art merciful to sinners; Who callest all to salvation with the promise of good things to come: receive, Lord, the prayers we now offer, and direct our lives in the way of Thy commandments. Sanctify our souls, cleanse our bodies, correct our thoughts, purify our minds and deliver us from all affliction, evil and illness. Surround us with Thy holy angels, that guarded and instructed by their forces, we may reach unity of faith and the understanding of Thine unapproachable glory: for blessed art Thou unto ages of ages. Amen. A Prayer of St. John ChrysostomAlmighty God, you have given us grace at this time, with one accord to make our common supplications to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will grant their requests: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen. DismissalLet us bless the LordThanks be to God! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen

Be not envious of wrongdoers, for they will soon fade like the grass and wither like the green herb. Trust in the Lord and do good. Dwell in the land and cultivate faithfulness. Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to the Lord, trust him, and he will act. He will bring forth your righteousness as the light and justice as the noonday. Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him. Fret not yourself over the one who prospers in his way, over the man who carries out evil devices. Refrain from anger, forsake wrath, fret not yourself, it tends only to evil. The evildoers shall be cut off, but those who wait for the Lord shall inherit the land. In just a little while, the wicked will be no more. Though you look carefully at his place, he will not be there.   Related Episodes: Danny Ayalon - Former Israeli Ambassador Discusses U.S.-Israeli Relations and Middle East Politics #233A conversation with fmr Prime Minister Naftali Bennett about Israel, Iran, and the future #229The Abraham Accords, peace deals, and prosperity #113   Reference Links https://www.joshuafund.com/learn/latest-news/join-us-on-our-alaska-cruise Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

The antiphonal nature of Psalm 136 is seen in the repeated second half of every verse: “His steadfast love endures forever.” This psalm helps us to give thanks to the LORD for His steadfast love shown forth in His work of creation, redemption, and His ongoing care for His people. For these reasons and more, we give thanks to the LORD, for He is good!  Rev. David Vandercook, pastor at Trinity Lutheran Church in North Little Rock, AR and Shepherd of Peace Lutheran Church in Maumelle, AR, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Psalm 136.  "Psalms of Thanksgiving” is a series on Sharper Iron that looks to several psalms to help us give thanks to God. The LORD gives blessings to His whole creation, even all evil people. As we pray the psalms, He teaches us to receive all His gifts with thanksgiving, knowing that He is good and His steadfast love endures forever.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org
