Hi @DownMoreThanUp ,

In your last post I think you are being too hard on yourself. You are not that number.

It's all the alters together that matter. Isn't it? (Correct me if I'm wrong.)

You praise God/Jesus more than anyone I know. Every lie is quickly turned to praise. Maybe it hasn't always been that way but it's where you are today that matters.

Are you still writing for yourself? Maybe the praise is most evident when you're writing.

Please know to always discard anything I write that is not helpful.

Hi @heartathome ,

Hope your day has been okay?

I've missed your voice today.

I'm here @Realness

I've just come back from what they called a 'blue' church service. The church was darkened with fairy lights around. We heard David lament and the tears rolled down my face. It was intimate and felt safe (safe enough to cry) We lit candles and prayed silently for hurting people and situations. It was the best church service I've ever been to! 💛

Hi @heartathome ,

Wow! It sounds amazing. Safe enough to cry - that's really something. We lit candles and silently prayed - I love silent prayer.

I hope the service stays with you for a while. Best church service you've ever been to - hold on to it for as long as you can!

@Realness Love your observations here!

However it is not IN Christ's truth that i see myself numbered - only in my life in old. The number 666 i do NOT understand as physical, or a chip or something, but solely spiritually, where we think(forehead) and labour(right hand) to achieve our salvation, and NOT rely on Christ's righteousness as our own. Falling short three times over a six instead of a seven. (think about both Judas and Peter here)

This is what i mean to say.

Nothing WRONG being numbered from THAT perspective, for truly we all are! (Just look at your birth certificate, degree, marriage certificate, drivers licence or whatever is NUMBERED down here. EVERYTHING in existence satan has us number, even the constellations. Only if you doubt my understanding of being numbered down here.)) Simply laying down our NUMBERED life, DIE to our old life, and MOST blessed WE will be.

Revelation 13 & 14

Blessings!

Love this Word about all that!

Hi @heartathome , @DownMoreThanUp , @Appleblossom , @ENKELI ,

Luke 14 today.

- Starts with another example of Jesus healing on the Sabbath while the Pharisees look on with anger. Lawful to heal and do good on the Sabbath. Not about getting stuck on rules.

- Choose the lowest seat at a banquet.

- For everyone who exalts themself will be humbled and they who humble themselves will be exalted.

- And when you give a feast invite the poor, the disabled, the lame, and the blind - those who can't repay you. Reward in heaven.

- Someone cries out, "Blessed is the one who will eat bread in the kingdom of God!"

- Jesus replies with the Parable of the Great Banquet. Those invited were too busy and consumed with earthly life. So the Master invites the poor, disabled, blind and lame. And then those in the highways and hedges so that the banquet is full.

- Coming to Jesus we must love Him much more than anything else - even family and even our own life.

- Whoever does not bear their own cross and come after Jesus cannot be Jesus' disciple.

- We must think about what's involved to follow Jesus. It involves "giving up everything you have".

- We're Christ's salt on this earth. Not good for anything if we lose the taste of Christ's love.

Jesus' great reversals are evident here. The rich are poor and the poor are rich. Two times the poor, disabled, blind and lame are mentioned. "Whoever does not bear their own cross" suggests there is suffering for every Christian who follows Jesus. Many of the commands in this chapter are easier if there is suffering in our earthly life.

Things are great friends thanks for praying those who did. Jesus did what i could not do. Dying to how you do not want to be is always hard when wrong wants to be.

So good to know Jesus is victorious

Everything is changing in me. A most incredible oneness to have within my inner being. No more thoughts randomly flying through my head that try rob my own thoughts. Everything settling into harmony.

Never before in my life have i fought a battle like this. Sweet victory though. God's loving truth is. That is all that matters to me. He will make all the dreams of His elect come true.

To be in charge of my own inner being is something i cannot explain. No more need to freak. No more need to fight to hold on to the truth i love to be. Jesus in all of us down here, instead of those liars in our hearts and minds stealing our good life, hurting and killing life like they have for centuries now.

And everyone thinks our mortal reality in sin down here is all Jesus accomplished for us, and His Truth will only be fully true when we physically die and go to Heaven. Such bull really. It is finished The Truth told us when He died, so why isn't it?????? (Jesus said He was The Truth, The Life and The Light!)

If not us holding to the lies keeping us from His Victory? This is the truth i found in Jesus and love. He is Alive and IN us when we LOVE Him for taking our place in death (Isaiah 53) with God granting us His Righteous Life tgo replace our unrighteous one! (Crucified with Him Paul calls that in Galatians 2)

For only Jesus brings Eternal Life, certainly not the grave!😁

i'm learning so many lesson sitting here at Christ's feet in my right mind and loving Him for it.🎉

Absolutely incredible song at this time!

Hi @DownMoreThanUp ,

That's amazing news! Healing! To be given such a challenge and conquer it! Conquer it through Jesus! You're an amazing witness!

May you feel more and more oneness as you sit at Jesus' feet.

Thanks for sharing Luke 14 @Realness What a beautiful chapter of the Bible for those that are downtrodden and suffering!

We read Psalm 13 last night at the blue church service. One of David's laments to God. It was very emotional but good! I feel like David understands me! I cried. His poems are raw and emotional. I like the way he starts off complaining and ends up praising God! 😁 Very similar. 💛
