Unsatisfied

2006-11-22T12:26:00.000Z

An emperor was coming out of his palace for his morning walk when he met a beggar. He asked the beggar, "What do you want?" The beggar laughed and said, "You are asking me as though you can fulfill my desire!" The king was offended. He was a powerful and rich king with every earthly good at his disposal. He said, "Of course I can fulfill your desire. What is it? Just tell me." The beggar said, "It is a very simple desire. You see this begging bowl? Can you fill it with something?" The emperor said, "Of course!" He called one of his advisors and told him, "Fill this man's begging bowl with money." The advisor went and got some money and poured it into the bowl, and it disappeared. And he poured more and more, and the moment he would pour it, it would disappear. And the begging bowl remained always empty. The whole palace gathered. The story went throughout the whole capital, and a huge crowd gathered. The prestige of the emperor was at stake. He said to his advisors, "If the whole kingdom is lost, I am ready to lose it, but I cannot be defeated by this beggar." Diamonds and pearls and emeralds, his treasuries were becoming empty. The begging bowl seemed to be bottomless. Everything that was put into it immediately disappeared, went out of existence. Everything!

Finally it was evening, and the people were standing there in utter silence. The king dropped at the feet of the beggar and admitted his defeat. He said, "Just tell me one thing. You are victorious, but before you leave, just fulfill my curiosity. What is the begging bowl made of?" The beggar laughed and said, "It is made up of the human mind. There is no secret. It is simply made up of human desire."

It's been two years! I started this blog after a friend's suggestion.

Two years!

People say that time flies when your having fun. I disagree! This is not good! Two years!

I remember too vividly two years back.

Paul says he looks in a mirror and sees a poor reflection; I see that too! Paul sort yourself out (joke!). Na, I mean myself of course.

I'm asking myself, 'How much have you changed? And was it good change or bad change?'.
I feel I have changed a little. I need more change!
I also need to think about things more.

Enough about me!

"The Magnolia tree is always attractive, for it is deciduous, never losing its glossy green leaves. I use these leaves to make an arraignment on my dining room table each November, adding pieces of fruit around them, to remind me of the Thanksgiving harvest. It is, in the spring, however, that it displays its most magnificent splendor, when its flowers are in full bloom. At first, the flower buds are in tight coils- just waiting to unfold. It takes warm weather and sunlight before this happens.

I believe people start out like the Magnolia bud- tight- and into ourselves. However, when the loving warmth of our savior, Jesus Christ, and His glorious lights invade our hearts, there is a change. He will open us up in a beautiful manner, just as the Magnolia bud will do. "

Grumpy against the World Cup

2006-06-18T21:04:00.000+01:00

The reasons I'm not 100% with the World Cup

1) I get (even more than usual) drunken people causing problems, and people singing England late at night!
Well done drunken man!!!
I'm sure if they shouted loud enough the team in Germany might hear them and say, "Gosh! That chap in England has been giving us some support, that'll help me in the game tomorrow!"

2) I'm also sick of the stupid flags people adorn from their car. I am not feeling it!
You can buy trays, buckets and england supporting toilet paper (probably, somewhere?!). Who isn't endorsing into the World Cup??? Is it really necessary?

3) English or other top International players get payed loads, where other players get paid peanuts, and we're all singing "Come on England!" ?

4) The whole of the UK halts while people skip off early from work to watch a silly match were people run up and down kicking a ball.

5) The very thing that encourages people to be more 'sporty' and exercise is in fact doing the opposite. Sit in you arm chair, drink lots of alcohol, eat junk food, and then be taken on a roller-coaster of a ride of emoitions, leaving people in the most extreme, and hormonally unstable state!

6) A clever chap once said, "A British football supporter is depressed when their team loses, and is still depressed when the team wins!" or something that!

7) The Glory hardly lasts!

On the positive..

1) People get a sense of community, although they won't do anything to support the community!

2) People can talk to each other using a topic other than the weather!

3) People can wear a football shirt, get drunk and sing like an ape-man! Like they do every Saturday.

Um that's it!

Sorry for my negativity. I'm sure it will pass!

Judgment

2006-03-16T18:14:00.000Z

A common misconception, contradictory attack, or maybe an excuse, is to say that the bible says, "Eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth", as a way to justify revenge.

This of course is wrong (why else would I mention it!).

Jesus points this out in Matthew Chapter 5:38-42.

To follow Jesus isn't easy, and I can't say I'm perfect.

Jesus says it's the Lord to revenge and not us.
I say.. He does it perfectly: We do it stupidly!

Paul also iterates saying that we should not fight 'evil with evil', but 'fight evil with good'. Romans 12:17-21.

I hope this has enthused and enlightened you.

"The disordered thinking processes of the criminal / antisocial mind are succinctly described in Stanton E Samenow's book Straight talk about criminals. For example:

"Certain people who I term non-arrestable criminals behave criminally towards others , but they are sufficiently fearful [and knowledgeable of the law - TF] so that they do not commit major crimes. We all know them: individuals who shamelessly use others to gain advantage for themselves. Having little empathy, they single-mindedly pursue their objectives and have little remorse for the injuries they inflict. If others take them to task, they become indignant and self-righteous and blame circumstances. Such people share much in common with the person who makes crime a way of life. Although they may not have broken the law, they nonetheless victimize others."
(Chapter 8, The criminal mind exists independent of particular laws, culture or customs)

In Samenow's 1984 book Inside the criminal mind he uses this description:

"Some criminals are smooth rather than contentious, ingratiating rather than surly, devious rather than intimidating. They pretend to be interested in what others say. Appearing to invite suggestions, they inwardly dismiss each idea without considering its merits. They seem to take criticism in stride but ignore it and spitefully make mental note of who the critic was. They misuse authority and betray trust but are not blatant about doing so. With the criminal at the helm, employee morale deteriorates. His method of operation sooner or later discourages others from proposing innovative ideas and developing creative solutions."
(Chapter 6, Work and the criminal)

I recommend both Samenow's books."

The quiet domination of destruction

2005-12-15T23:46:00.000Z

"If the bully is a female in a junior position, she finds a weak male in a senior position (this is usually not difficult) - for example the President, Chief Executive, any Senior Executive, Finance Director, Personnel Director, or Departmental Director, etc - then gains patronage, protection and reward (eg promotion) by traditional methods. Once promotion is gained, the female calculates who can give her the next promotion; if the first male cannot, he is ditched and another adopted. The males are unlikely to admit this is happening or has happened.

If the bully is a male in a senior position, he is often sleeping with a secretary or office administrator, as this is where he gets his information and where he spreads his disinformation. Sometimes the female junior can be identified by her reward, eg being the only person allowed to hold the keys of the stock cupboard (everyone has to grovel to her if they want a new pen), or being put in charge of the office in the bully's absence when there are others who are senior to her who would make more appropriate deputies.

Most serial bullies have unhappy and unsatisfactory private lives which are characterised by a string of broken relationships. If you are the current target of a serial bully and taking legal action, a little digging into the bully's past, including their personal life, will usually unearth some unsavoury facts that the bully would prefer not to be made public. In some cases, serial bullies have been found to have criminal convictions for fraud, or to have been compelled to attend therapy or counselling for their habit of compulsive lying, or they might have a record of domestic violence. Under normal circumstances making these facts part of the proceedings might be considered unethical; however, if you're the target of a serial bully, the circumstances are not normal.

Who died on November 22, 1963?

2005-11-23T09:04:00.000Z

Many will correctly answer, President John F. Kennedy But also on that day another person died who was mightier in God's kingdom. His name was C. S. Lewis.

His initials stood for Clive Staples, but to his friends he was known as Jack Born near Belfast, Ireland, in 1898, he was raised as an Anglican. But at the age of ten his world was shaken when his mother died of cancer. Jack wanted nothing to do with a God so cruel as to take his mother. By his early teenage years he had become an atheist.

Jack's spiritual pilgrimage back to God began in 1926 with a conversation with a cynical friend whose belief in the Trinity challenged Lewis's atheistic presuppositions.

Through the influence of various philosophers he read and conversations with his intellectual colleagues, including J. R. R. Tolkien, he began to realize that an absolute Spirit or God existed and that the events of the Bible had really happened.

By 1931 he had passed from merely believing in God to trusting in him as his Savior.

In 1941 Lewis burst on the literary scene with The Screwtape Letters. Books then began to flow from his pen at an amazing rate.

C. S. Lewis is considered the most influential Christian author of the twentieth century quite a leap from the atheism of his youth.

Amazing! I did this ages ago. I still feel like this. It is heavy, but something which probably needs to be implemented.

My pastor says, "Without proper planning and preparation, expect poor performance!", and, "if you've got a big idea; start off small!"

There are lots of other reasons. You start off small you can see the enemy clearer as you progress. You know your weaknesses, and where you've been caught out before.
Firstly, I have to organise myself with the theories I encounter. Then, I have to experiment with the theories of life, before I preach to other to do the same. If I don't do it, why be a hypocrite and tell others to?

A candle in the darkness

2005-10-21T09:11:00.000+01:00

Found this through my God Promises emails..

A candle in the darkness

In 1989, Lazlo Tokes was the pastor of a fast-growing reformed church in the city of Timisoara, Romania. His powerful preaching had caught the attention of communist officials, and they began a strategy of suppression. Just before Christmas, they decided to send him into exile.

But when the police arrived to hustle Pastor Tokes away, they were stopped cold. Around the church stood a wall of humanity. Christians from around the city�Baptist, Pentecostal, Orthodox, Catholic�had joined together to protest.

All through the day they held their post. As it grew dark, a Baptist student named Daniel Gavra pulled out a packet of candles, lit one, and passed it on to his neighbor.

Then he lit another. One by one the burning candles were passed out among the crowd. Soon the darkness of the December night was pierced by the light of hundreds of candles. When Pastor Tokes looked out his window, he saw a sea of faces lit up by a warm glow.

Two days later, police finally broke through the crowd and dragged Pastor Tokes away. But that was not the end. People streamed to the city square. Hundreds were shot, Young Daniel's leg was blown off. Yet the brave example set in Timisoara inspired the rest of the nation. Within days, the entire population of Romania had risen up and the bloody dictator Ceausescu was gone.

Twist

2005-10-20T12:22:00.000+01:00

When I talk about how I came to know God, I used to tell them that I had a trip on drugs, nearly killing myself, which then lead me to ask questions, things like 'Is there a God? If so Who is He?', 'Whats the meaning of life?', etc.

Some people (pro-drugs) would twist what I said. They'd say, 'If you hadnt have taken drugs you wouldnt have found God!' and in their own reasoning create a profile that drugs are somehow good.

The fact of the matter is that if I'd have sorted out my issues instead of running away from them (with drugs etc.), and stopped trying to live for my own personal pleasure, then I wouldn't have taken drugs and hopefully not messed up my life, and then in sober consideration, asked the same questions as before with a more mature attitude!

The if 'this and thats' are hard to work out in present time, but that doesn't excuse the way of not thinking logically, and with wisdom.

People will try and twist your words to say what they want to hear, or to support their belief system!

Throwing out the truth and creating our own truth can avoid reality and this way, keep bad things we like, growing. The good things slowly die, while the bad things grow and have more unreal excuses to support them. Like a virus with a pass card (e.g. HIV).

Some things I've found..

Sometimes my issues aren't issues, as such, but merely the way I react and my perspective. If I change my perspective it can change the outlook of the issue, although I find doubts usually creep in. Truth banishes my doubts, so 'the truth sets me free' from a false perspective, and renforces a better one (through God's words and love).

'Love never fails' and God doesn't either! Neither does He lie nor trick.
.. Which is nice! :)

Failure is not fatal.
Failure should be our teacher, nor our undertaker.
It should challenge us to new heights of accomplishments,
not pull us to new depths of despair.
From honest failure can come valuable experience.

Far better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious
triumphs, even though checkered by failure, than to take rank

Hello..
:).

It's been a long-long time since I wrote a message on me blog, but blog it, I thought I might today!

Soooo.. Evolution or Creation-ilizm!

*Clear throwt*
1) Stop argueing! (especially the creationalists who are Christian) *Slap!*

2) Evolutionalists and Creationalists, please gather round my bible..
:).. Lets look at what God says *Tim says while turning the page slowly infront of the warm fire, while also re-positioning his cravat*..

Gen 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.". The first thing you must ask yourself is "What on Earth is God talking about?"

The answer lies in the fact that in the first verse of the bible, there are two things God creates.. A heaven and an earth. Bargain! Heaven (spiritual), and an Earth (physical).

Q-Wuality! :D

Right.. now we have got this sorted.. moving swiftly on, as I'm getting bored and need quickness into the depths of this..

Gen 1:20 "And God said, 'Let the water teem with living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the sky.' ".

Evolutionists, what did Dinosaurs evolve into? Birds, yes, that is correct! And they came from squirty-like-ameoba things? Interesting!

*Mini-interlude with song and dance!*

3) Poetry and a Scientist! Often in the bible God will use words that 'mean' things and sometimes uses words for factual reference. You have to decrypt it, and not to what you want it to say but what it should say! But don't let this harden your heart. Understand that God is full of love, not hate; but God does hate evil, will make it obvious to you, in all it's forms, not to spoil your day, but actually make it better! :) (aaaand shows you the cool things you can do instead!!!)

*Ya man.. big-up de area!*

4) There are Christian Scientists out there! Why? Well, you see.. God doesn't always like to give us the full explaination. He actually likes us to 'seek' and to 'find' and to 'knock on the door' for things. He also knows that without 'knowledge and wisdom', people perish! (wisdom, of course, being useful knowledge that we can apply to life itself)

5) God wrote 2 chapters on creation (as far as I know) and maybe a few verses eslewhere. He's not going to go in-depth with quantum physics ("So Moses.. You got that?.. No, strange and charm!.. Nevermind, just put dust!", btw that is a joke, copyright of myself and allowed by God, not to be taken literally as God, more as me).

6) God talks more about humans (and our sin) and the Spiritual vibe, and His love He has for us! Also His love for us goes deep enough that the actual payment for our sin (bad vibes/doings) has been paid for, we just need to believe, receive and spread/follow (please see Jesus, about death and how he rose from it).

7) In my humble opinion, Evolution is a method, like progression. It doesn't hold any true meaning. It concludes with no point/reason!
Kid: "Why is the sky blue?"
Scientist: "Because of the Ozone and the light shining through etc."
Kid: "Yeh but why blue?"
Scientist: "Because that's the frequency of light, and our eyes see blue!"
Kid: "Yeh but why should it be blue?"
...
This conversation could go on for aaages, until the Scientist says "I dunno!", or throws out random theories.
At the end of the day (hehe! Notice my over-use of the word 'day' to highlight the previous use of 'day' in the bible), I personally conclude, God is the system creator. There is a reason for it!.. Love. That love can mute/destroy/overcome,etc. anything and nothingness!

btw love here denotes the true pure vibe, and not that smutty stuff you know of when two people randomly and without thought, 'get-it-on'! Love is greater than sex. Sex without love is potent poison. Love needs personal trust, personal faithfulness, personal commitment, Gods blessing, God's guidance and God's support (i.e. True Marridge!).

I hope you like my lesson. Homework will be to boogy-on-down to the cool waters God provides, in bible, chillin-with-me-bredrin-n-sistas (church), and talking to God (1 on 1).

Note* this is a post for today, and some content and personal beliefs which might be wrong/change. This can be due to many things, but I hope it's God led.
Truth will always stand, no matter what; but opinions based on lies will fall, everytime, in time.

Depression

2005-03-03T13:53:00.000Z

Major Depression Facts - Why the Sudden Increase?

"Societies that breed depression, and societies that don't

It is a fact that we all have basic emotional needs that must be met for us to thrive and enjoy life. After the primary human needs for food, water and shelter come commonly shared emotional and physical needs. Without exception we find depressed people are not getting these needs met.

Traditional communities naturally meet many 'basic needs' for emotional support. In the traditional Amish society in the US major depression is almost unknown, as it is in the equally traditional Kaluli tribe of New Guinea. In these societies individual concerns are group concerns and vise-versa. You know that if you have a problem other people will help you and you are expected to help out when others need support. We know we are meant to do these things but it's not a 'built in feature' of modern society in the same way.
These days we are much more 'self-focused'. The idea of considering the wider community to be more important than the self is almost impossible to understand for most people.

Major depression is 4th most disabling condition in the world, and 2nd most in the developed world.
As well as the human cost, the burden on society is incredible. Much of the research on this site about effective treatments for depression has been controlled by the US government, in order to try and find the best way to overcome depression. The cost to society is real, and we need to find the best way at beating depression for good."

Safety in numbers

2005-02-22T11:45:00.000Z

Safety in numbers theory: Make everyone around you murder whoever they want, and make murder less immoral! So when you murder and are in court, the jury is as guilty as the defendant; the jury and the judge will be more lenient.
We've all sinned so sin is good?

I've seen on an old poster for Gladiator, "The things we do, echo into enternity", or something on those lines.

What we do has consequences.

Industry is out to make money. If they can use and abuse a human weakness, they will.
The most expensive things in life are the luxuries; yet the most worthwhile things, I find, are the necessities.

"..the role of companionship. This involves sharing the life of another, entering into it and making that person’s concerns one’s own."

:) Praise God for peoplely persons!.. They're amazing.

Stein wrote: “On the question of relating to our fellowman — our neighbor’s spiritual need transcends every commandment. Everything else we do is a means to an end. But love is an end already, since God is love.”

And that's just a few bits.. Reeeeeeeeeeeead it! Solid!

Reflection

2005-01-14T19:05:00.000Z

I'm usually harsher on this.
I usually try and get down to the extreme vibes I'm getting and need to wack it down. I get more deeper revelations that I write down in little books, but they are usually personal, and in the past have been a 'mixed bag of fruit'!

Same with this blog.. Mixed bag! Although more lemony/limey. Very sharp; to the point. Highly strung.

We use the word love in such a refined context. Love; a spiritual connection 'thing' between a man and a woman of maturity.
Love is a word which in some minds only invisions sex.
God has shown (and is showing) me different.

Love in greater terms, is all that stuff between mates and family; respect, joy, support, etc.

The lonely seek love of all kinds.
The love of God. Sweet!

Things Change

2005-01-02T01:42:00.000Z

One thing we all forget and get uncomfortable about is change.

We all change; all of the time, whether mentally, physically, spiritually, etc.

When you 'keep in touch' with someone, you are inevitably updating your character profile of that person within your head.

Sometimes people say "Some people don't change!"; usually light heartedly, fair enough, but we secret would like to think people don't change, or that we can judge and lord over people and understand them 100%. Maybe you can, or maybe you can't.

I'm not too certain we can.

No-one knows you more than yourself? No..
God does.

Small things you can identify in your life like why you've changed character, because of this and that etc.
Sometimes I'm getting the vibe I use my changes and the situation I'm in as an excuse to be something I shouldn't, e.g. I'm hurt so I have a licence to hurt others, etc.

Jesus defies all this..
"Father forgive them for they don't know what they do!"
They know, to a personal degree, why they're doing it, but they don't actually twig who Jesus really is.
I'm not being anti-semetic or whatever they call it, fact of the arguement of Romans or Jews put Jesus on the cross is irrelevant; what is relevant, is that human kind put Jesus on the cross!

We are all sinners, all part of the big sin machine that produces trouble, suffering and chaos. The question is what are you going to do about it?

Change the world? Start with yourself, with God! :)

"For while we were still sinners [in our own ways] Christ died for us"

In natural distasters there's no point in blaming God.
Is it God's will? I dunno.

But that don't matter for now, what matters is how are you gong to react to the appeal?
What can we do to stop it next time?
Lets change and grow. Let us learn.

Download gn0 brain..

2004-12-15T19:22:00.000Z

Riiight..
Dunno how I'm going to start this, neither how I'm going to finish.

I will leave nameless the person involved in inspiring me into this blogging, because it is both good and bad. We will call her "the inspired one". She has done two things, sparked off in me something amazing, but also got me well narked! (narked = annoyed, kinda angry, in a bad way too!)

Anyway I'll focus on the good stuff, as the rest will just produce havoc if unleashed.

We were talking about (ok, I was talking about and she couldn't get a word in edge ways).. things which are bad that you've recognised, such like terminal cancer.

Terminal cancer is only terminal cancer to doctors. People can get healed! There is a cure! So far we know what it is, what it does; but are a bit hazy on why it happens, how it happens, and, at present, how to cure it with more conifdence.

*WARNING: below content does talk about cancer*

(Any scientists to quote me or disagree, please reinform me)
All I know from my sources is that it's just cell division gone out of control, or when the cell is 'told to die' and refuses. Rebellious cells! Just think if the world was like that?

In some terms it could be considered just like a switch.. like a light switch but we just can't reach it physically! (yet..)

A nano-bot might be able to reach it and fix it, but if humans program nano-bots then there might be someone like *me* programming things which go into people and change things. Hmm! Risky! Might cure people and give them pink hair or something. Humans naturally error! Neither do things always go 100% swimmingly.

"People perish through lack of knowledge and understanding"
One of my favourite proverbs.
Some people say "It's not what you know, but who you know!", but if you don't know that, then you don't know it's who you know, so it is what you know which in turn helps when you know people and what they know too! :)

Of course the obtaining of knowledge is like threashing the field; after which, you have to seperate the wheat from the weeds i.e. the truth from the lies.

Sometimes things have to broken down into piles, I find, of things you definatly know are true, things which are highly probable, things which might be true, and things which are blatent lies.
A system of discernment and judgement needs to be in place which requires divine intervention, fortunatley. Men judging things can be a little bais/influenced sometimes. It takes a lot to seek knowledge, and information; to gain understanding, takes a little more I find.
Experience helps! Although even that can be hindered. Wisdom from a trusted source can be better. To gain wisdom: gains better progression.

Trust is another fundamental thing. "Trust no one" is something people say which is kinda an ironic extreme.. and then there is "Only trust yourself" which I also see as another extreme.

People have faults; we all have faults.

"No one is perfect", no naturally conceived human is perfect!
There you go! A *Christmassy* link! :)

St.Nicolas would want Jesus to be worshipped. *Exhale of satisfaction*
Same with mother Mary, I believe.

So let us switch it off, trust in God, do what is good, right and true!

Yep. Started reading it a couple of days back; only a chapter a day, mind you!

Funnily enough, Word on the web gave me a good, yet premature, insight into Romans chapter 6.
It was basically saying, that Paul was saying, "Don't force the belief on someone".

Damn! I was all hoping for a revolution of the Spanish Inquisition. :).
Jokes aside though, I used to run such a mockery of a system; to my shame!
(I like to show people the door, that's for sure!)

It's quite hard to pick that up from the scriptures they gave, but then again, this kind of occurance can occur.. I probably need discernment and a bit of 'chewing' on this scripture.
Seeking the way of truth, as I'm finding, isn't all as simple as I first perceived.

Thank God for forgiveness.

I know, I know.. I should be using my own words, but the bible is sooo gooood..

(Preferance.. Job is said as 'Jobe' or 'Joow-b!', for the people out there!)

Ok.. the story so far; Job had everything, bling-bling! God and Satan having a arguement about how cool Job is and God (knowing Job to be a top bloke) allows Satan to torment Job to prove Job's top-ness to Him!
So as it goes.. Job is merry, then blap! Lost it. Gone. All possessions. Everything. Job gets seriously ill with boils on his skin. He's in pure agony, physically, mentally, spiritually and even Job's wife says to shout abuse to God so he'd shutup and die.
His mates come round with 'get well soon' cards, even they weep at the sight.
Then his mates try and sort him out maybe think of ways why he's in such a mess.
They say he's sinned and he should say sorry to God and do the 'sacrificy thing' and that 'this' is the cause for 'that', and that he's evil and heap abuse on poor Job. Job defends himself duly with the truth that he's safe and that what they're saying is a load of bananas.
Job and his friends keep on exchanging words of wisdom in an all out battle-fest!
Then at the end God buts in. This is what He says to Job and crew..
Job 38
Job 39
Job 40
Job 41
Job 42
It's a lot easier if you grabbed a bible and read it yourself; streamline!
This is a bit of a slog over the web, but hey, better than nothing! :)

Jesus bless you for watching!

Yesterday, today, and that second just gone..

2004-10-28T13:47:00.000+01:00

Every second is unique.
Is passes by, and the next one is not the same.
What happens in every second?
Look around the room you are in at the moment and it might not be much.
Did you just blink and miss it?
Look outside, through the window.
Open your eyes!
How about around the world?
We hear news 247! But how about those stories that aren't published on the front of newspapers.
We all have news. We all experience a unique experience. Then again, maybe we don't. How do we know if we experience something different. Only by communication through words, action, art etc. In this form experiences, wisdom and expression be represented. Although expression might not be recieved in the same way, either by default, want, accident, current frame of mind, or other means.
Similar experiences are possible, although each and everyone of them are unique. Dealt out to us all for a reason. Cause and affect. Dominos. Viral spread. Reactiveness.

What do we do? How do we react? How do we deal with the unpredicatbility of future events? There are prophetic sights and predictions into the future, obviously God is the best. Away from this topic..
Is there a fixed a,b,c structure of mechanical rules we can follow which can be implemented to solve all problems?

Faith could be recieved or percieved in this way, either by proxy, by want and ignorance, rather than a true studied, living, Spiritual, personal, indepth conclusion. The things we follow in the bible are fundamental, indepth and are fixed, but have the starting point or overall point for problem solving for life's situations. The rules and regulations are there in place to aid in the specific situations we come across. The core. The heart. The center. We don't know it all, but we progress to perfection through the guidance in the words of the bible and experiencing Jesus.

Scientists say with every force there's an equal opposite force. When you take this on board in philosphy terms, it fails. If two things are opposing and equal, progress is never made. One must win! God is good, and will win, and in fact.. unarguably, has technically won already!

Right back to situations and experiences. There are events happening around the world which would seem impossible to stop, or even too big to stop, or too far away for us to have an effect. This frame of mind is something I'm always falling into. We might excuse the 'bad' event as being God's will. I can't vouch either way, but it's God's will that we react to that situation accordingly.

Love is a reaction humans on their own, can't actually achieve fully.
How can you love someone the other side of the world?

If anything, prayer! Prayer is fundamental to all reactions. All reactions need a start, a trigger, a command. Spending your time in giving God hope+faith that situations can change for the good, is good. Patience coupled with prayer helps extra-ordinarily. Not to say I have great patience, but in application of it in extreme impatient times; it does come in handy!

"Lord give me patience, and be quick about it!"

In prayer you might often get a reaction from it. A nothingness or emptyiness reaction isn't something to discourage you; there might be something a little deeper that needs to be sought before prayer means something.
There's praying and there's PRAYING! You pray when talking about your friends who are well and skipping about lardy-dar! But PRAYING usually hits when (self centeredly) you get into a bad situation. Then you seem to pray for your own situation and other people, with a little more meaning! That's what I find, anyway.

What you pray for. Praying for someone to be released from jail might be a good thing, then again it might be a bad thing. Praying that your mate gets more cash might end up him buying more drugs and killing himself. Praying for a Ferrari which might mean you will drive too fast one day and crash, with negative consequences.

Gain knowledge and wisdom on the event or situation. Knowing about what or who your praying for and what's happening can help. Use discernment, of course, in the information you recieve. To be ignorant, you might miss a point of prayer i.e. something to pray for.

Action! Pray in some circumstances needs action to increase faith in prayer. If you pray for someone through financial difficulties and give them a few bob to cheer them up, then surely that's going to bring a smidgen of light in such a dark time. All it takes is a little light in darkness; much like LCD screens of clocks at night etc.

Take all my information with a pinch of salt.. in fact masses of salt! This stuff is learnt by me or bible reading sessions or life etc. Please don't treat this as 100% real macoy, full gospel. Consider, work out things, ask God, and decide before you do anything!

OUR OWN actions are OUR OWN responsibility.

This world and the people in it, need properly looking after.

We need to advance and progress, and not fall back to stone age.

Seeking The Spirit of God

2004-10-13T17:54:00.000+01:00

I read a quick 'big font'-ed leaflet-like-book, last night, on the above title (or something on those lines).

It talked about 'having the anointing' and continuing in that.
Some real handy hints on The Spirit vibes.

The Minty-stry who made the little book

You may take the opinion of 'money grabbing' from such sites. Ok, they might be struck for a bit of financial backing, in this land of generous givers *cough*cough*, but joking aside; they are out there for God! They are out there for good!

With the Spirit, the physical stuff like people falling over and running about like headless chickens is part of Gods blessing.
Can't we be sanely worship God?
Yes! But if you saw someone leap for joy after winning the lottery, you wouldn't consider that to be abnormal and too weird. It's the same with the Spirit! Except the evidence isn't on the outside.

I'm not saying I'm bigger and wiser in comparison to someone else (actually I'm only 5 foot 4) what I'm trying to say is that God prefers to bless the inner stuff more than the outer stuff, because once the inner issues are sorted it's a lot easier to deal with the connecting external issue(s).
Following on from that, a 'session' getting 'blazed up', will certainly squish the external issues proportionatly i.e. When God's Spirit anoints for a period time, in that time, issues on the outside seem less relevant than they were!

An example of internal and external comparison was when an old mate came round to my luxurious abode. He said "It's peaceful here!", which I opposed, in my view, as being irrelevant when you have inner problems (which view is easily obtainable when having inner problems to deal with!.. Typical).
More of a anti-me quote arose stating that "if you have peace inside, you can be in a war zone, and it's ok! Then again if you don't have peace inside, you can be in the most peaceful place in the world, and it seems like a war zone!".

Living in more 'humbler' conditions you come more accustomed to dealing with issues externally, and also internally aswell. Although this might be due to the fact that I was earnestly praying to God more when things were less easy.
It strikes me that living a more productive life can actually benefit the inside more. When you take something that seems useless and make it useful/apply it.. Whaow!

I suppose I fear becoming too comfortable in my surroundings, and not experiencing exactly what I should. Not to say I'm welcoming hail stone and fury, but maybe I'm wanting to move into 'new' things.
'Neeeeeeeeew!' as a dear friend of mine states!(Sir Harris) Newness can be rewarding as well as finding old stuff. "Old treasures and new".

When does this 'blaze up' happen?
God O'Clock. God's timing. It's by Jesus, and in my experience, for massive Faith in Jesus, inner and/or outer.
Some people suggest it's about being hungry/thirsty for God's Spirit, which does the trick. I can't fully endorse that as a one way solution; not to say that it isn't true, I just don't know. In fact, I would probably be more inclined to support their theories than mine, due to lack of experience on my part, and more scriptural backing on theirs.

Anyway, enough with boring text, need more experience.

Farewell & Jesus bless you for watching *ping*!

What does gn0 mean? Nothing. It's a handle. A piece of text to point to my persona! It is an evolved piece of text, I'd agree, but the meaning? Meaningless.

What is the point of seeing this?
What is the point of being where you are at this point in time?
What is the point?
My boss humours that the point "is the sharp bit at the end!", and in the consideration of humour, 10/10; in consideration of seriousness, -10/10!

I've been to these blogging sites and they're just full of peoples messages. Receipies, hate, feelings, thoughts, words, vibes etc.

Time is surely precious, so don't waste it!
They might live in Japan, America (high probability), France, etc.

I don't care at the moment.

Love your neighbour! Yes! But how do you love those out of 'range'?
Please inform me! Are they in 'range' even?

Cynicism will eat me in certain circumstances.

How can this be under-the-power-of love?
Enlighten me!

SHOW me, TELL me, GUIDE me!

Ok.. It's a release for people! Maybe! A kinda wall to 'bounce' things off.
But can the one under the problem help oneself? (trying to sound clever btw)

Sometimes, maybe. But I doubt that 'that' self could have done it without the resources sparked and created from no-thing-ness.

GOD, GOD, GOD, GOD, GOD!!!!!!!

HEAR IT!

Ok I've calmed down now!

..One step beyond..
