Jesus tells his disciples that major change is coming as he will be leaving them soon. He reassures them that they will not be alone, as he will send the Holy Spirit to be their helper and comforter. Jesus promises that though he must go, he will come back to take his followers to be with him.10 jealousy

It examines how jealousy originated with Satan's envy of God, how it destroyed the relationships between Cain and Abel, Jacob's sons and Joseph, and Saul and David. It also discusses how religious leaders' jealousy of Jesus blinded them and led them to decide to kill him. The document warns that jealousy can cloud one's ability to discern truth and urges readers to surrender with humility and faith to avoid eternal ruin.An Unexpected Betrayal : Joseph

This document outlines a sermon on the biblical story of Joseph from the book of Matthew. The sermon has three main points: (1) Joseph initially had limited options but God showed him a better way, (2) God gave Joseph clear instructions to marry Mary and name the child Jesus, and (3) Joseph demonstrated thorough obedience to God's commands. The sermon uses this story to teach lessons about seeking God's wisdom in difficult decisions, having faith over fear, and the importance of complete obedience to God.052712 christian vocation (media) - soo ewe jin

It then discusses a passage from James about wisdom from above being pure, peaceable, gentle and without hypocrisy. Real wisdom begins with a holy life and getting along with others.

油
God's creatures, including Lucifer and some angels, have always been discontent. Discontent is a cancer of the soul that drags people down through envy, uncontrolled ambition, a critical spirit, complaining, and anger. The passage advises dealing with discontent by gaining God's perspective, as he told exiled Jews in Babylon to settle in, marry, have families, and serve the Lord in their present circumstances rather than longing for the past or future. It encourages blooming where planted, stopping complaints, and focusing on knowing Jesus instead of circumstances.Deep desire

How do you get in touch with your desire for God? We pay lip service to the idea that God is the end of all our desiring, but how do we make that real in our life? One way, a little surprisingly, involves using fariy tales. What does the fairy tales you remember from your past tell you about your desire for God - and, indeed, about God's desire for you?

It begins by examining examples from the Bible where people like Abram, Samson, and Jonah made decisions that led to spiritual problems. The document then lists behaviors that can indicate a spiritual descent, such as allowing the mind to dwell on strange ideas, despising correction from the Holy Spirit, and prioritizing earthly desires over spiritual ones.

This document discusses the concept of "divine aikido" and nonviolent judgment by God. It addresses the common beliefs that violence is necessary to address sin and that God uses violence, referring to penal substitutionary atonement. The document introduces aikido as a martial art where aggressors end up punishing themselves without opponents using aggression. It also discusses the Christus Victor view that Jesus defeated Satan's reign through nonviolent means on the cross. The conclusion is that God strategically used evil's own nature to have it orchestrate its own destruction, like in the aikido technique.Romans 12g Christians should not try to fit in.

This document contains several quotations related to Christian virtues such as forgiveness, thanksgiving, praise, and giving. Some of the key ideas expressed are:
1) Forgiveness is important for spiritual health and overcoming bitterness, as advocated by Watchman Nee and Samuel Rutherford.
2) True praise and thanksgiving focus on God rather than oneself, acknowledging his blessings and provisions, according to Michael Youssef.
3) Choosing to forgive others actually benefits oneself more than the other person by reducing bitterness and improving health, as noted by Joyce Meyer.Equally Yoked - A Better Understanding - The Liberal Arts and Humanities

This document discusses lies and untruths that can negatively impact our thinking and behavior if believed. It suggests that lies come from the enemy and aim to block us from hearing God and finding truth. In contrast, truth is from God and sets us free by keeping us grounded in reality. The document advises that untangling lies from our core beliefs and thought patterns can help us protect against manipulation and experience greater stability. It encourages facing the feelings and beliefs behind our vulnerabilities ("UBFs" or bruises of the heart) in order to overcome habitual reactions and find freedom.The Serving Community
The Serving Communityebcla
油
This document contains excerpts from multiple sources discussing serving others and communities. It emphasizes that in God's kingdom, we should focus on others' needs rather than our own by embracing the truths that we are loved unconditionally, valuable, and meant to serve just as Jesus served. When we serve others even at cost to ourselves, we embody the great love that Jesus had in laying down his life for his friends. The success of churches and communities is defined not by their size but by their service to others.Honor

1 Corinthians 1:17; Psalm 22: The Power of the cross is evident in the fulfillment of prophecy. Jehovah provided these utterances to help the people of Israel understand what was happening the day that Jesus died. In this lesson our focus is on Psalm 22 that reminds Israel and us that he is the Messiah, that He is the King, and that he is bringing salvation for all. (Adapted from The Cross by Martyn Lloyd-Jones)

Shalom everyone , i will sharing the word of god with you all
This presentation focuses on the spiritual battles we face in life and how, through faith, prayer, and obedience to God, we can emerge victorious. Drawing from powerful biblical stories like Cain and Abel, and examples such as Esther, the presentation explores key Christian lessons on trusting in Gods plan.
The core message revolves around three key actions:
Putting on the Armor of God daily, as described in Ephesians 6, to spiritually equip ourselves for lifes challenges.
Trusting in Gods plan, knowing that He works all things for our good.
Continuing in prayer as a means to maintain connection with God and seek His guidance.
With personal anecdotes, scripture references, and a powerful conclusion reminding the audience that the battle belongs to the Lord, the presentation emphasizes that victory is assured when we align ourselves with Gods power.
The visuals guide the audience through the journeystarting from the spiritual warfare we face, through biblical examples of triumph, to the ultimate victory in Christ. Through these lessons, the audience is encouraged to strengthen their faith and trust in God to fight their battles.Moon And Health Understanding The Medical Astrology Of Moon-Related Diseases
