Death is not the end

You know what will happen when we die because you believe the Bible. If you know God you do not have to fear death. If you don't know God and you don't believe the Bible, you should fear death.

Have faith in God. He has provided the Resurrection and the Life.

Captive Thoughts

You can be very good about not allowing your body to physically unite with anybody or everybody you meet - yet be very promiscuous with your mind. We need to be the same way about our minds that we are about our bodies. When we allow our minds to unite with any and every thought - we become very promiscuous with our minds.

To be loose with your mind is to simply think thoughts you shouldn't think, to think wrong thoughts. They don't have to be sexual, just things you shouldn't be thinking about. Casting down Imaginations and taking captive every thought that exalts itself against what God has already said you should or should not do. That's God's answer to a promiscuous mind.

Heart Led

Your head will pull you one way, your heart will pull another. Conflict will always result if you try to listen to your head while following your heart. Silence your head and follow your heart. That's how to be still and know He is The Lord. We can only see God with the eyes of our heart, not with the eyes of our head.

Was this a sign from god ????!

Last night I was driving home thinking about a conversation I had with my father on whether or not god was real. I had been trying to show him that the reason I couldn’t imagine god exist but he could was because he had faith. I was just thinking over the conversation when I turned up the radio as “you gotta have faith” by George Michael came on. I had started to sing along not realizing the words until it hit me that I was literally singing to myself “you gotta have faith”. Recently my past few years have been a whole existential crisis and I’ve struggled with the why of life enough to the point where things feel pointless. Should I take this event as a sign to invest myself more into a church or am I reading to much into a coincidence? I’m turning 18 this year and I’ve just been so lost looking for something, anything. Is this it ?

My faith

guys. I grew up in a Christian surrounding. I was very religious at first, but I kind of departed from God until now. I have refound my Christian faith, but I see a lot on social media on how Islam is perfect, and that a few of the passages in the bible have been remodeled, changed, and that the Quran is has stayed perfect, not a slight deviation in it, and it is completely God's word. My faith is pretty strong, but I have also seen how strong pure and profound the faith of muslims are, stronger than mine, and it is really starting to make me question my faith in christianity and the bible. This makes me feel as though I am sort of letting go of Jesus, yet I also feel as though maybe my faith isn't what it is. What should I do?

Walking By Faith

I made this for anyone who is feeling down and feel beat up by life! Don't give up no matter how difficult the battle is! Lift your heads up and keep on fighting! Tomorrow is a new day so don't allow life to beat you up! It is faith that kept me alive today! Had I not had faith, I'd be dead today, so keep pushing forward!

Woke up against the clutches of "fear?" To be revitalized up by the Love of God.

During my dream, I started feeling a sense of feeling my actual surroundings. I remember walking in my dream and all of a sudden I'm in my bed getting hugged from behind. That on its own would've been creepy, but that just getting "worse". I was still fast asleep n in my dream at this time so when the hugging got tighter and tighter, my dream slowly started ending too. The moment my dream ended, I started hearing screeching voices, of not 1 but several people just echoing from behind me and this kept getting louder and louder. At this point I knew I was no longer dreaming, I was getting squeezed and cries of agony became the only thing I could hear. I was unable to move. My arms were just numb? The screeching wasn't the type to deafen people and the hug almost felt like how little children would hug their stuffed animal with all their might. What scared me the most was a sense that something dark was covering me, and the worst part was, that I was giving in to it. In a sudden flash I remembered of God n started feeling blessings in ways I can't ever describe in words. I felt a sense of control n took over, got up n now I'm sitting here in bed trying to process what just happened. Since I'm from the east side of the world, it's Sunday and I'll be going to church today! The pain has dissipated after I said my prayers and now I feel more energetic than I can ever remember. Amen! Praise the Loving God! Yahweh, My Loving Father!

The Radio Secrets Of DNA

A fascinating video on the secrets of DNA (and why prayer is so powerful).

"Very few people know that in the universe there exists unlimited high density/frequency energy, and our human body has the ability to resonate with these energies, it is just not well understood by modern science. In this video we will introduce several very astonishing experiments to explain the problem, and we are going to talk about the virus from a totally different perspective and a little-known way to eliminate it.":

Please anyone that reads this, HELP ME PLEASE!

First of I would like to start of saying, I apologize for this message and not just for asking for financial help but having to ask people I've not had a the pleasure of meeting before. I have never asked for money from anyone before and I only am now because I'm afraid I'll lose everything I spent the last 10 years creating with my amazing wife and I can't let her down .please at least take a minute and hear my messages of a man that's down farther than he's ever been asking questions he's worked hard his hole life to avoid having to ask, it is a hit I'm my pride and incredibly humbling to be in a place of sonmuch need and having absolutely 0 control of what happens. I've never needed to have my faith in humanity restored more than I do now. Please help me in any way. Everything helps. Thank you I am a hard working guy and I have always made sure my family is taken care of and do everything I can to help the people around me. I work 4 to 6 days a week and 12-16 hour shifts and I have always earned my own way, recently my work started in with temporary layoffs and now I am having to swallow my pride and ask for help. If I go another week without pay due to these layoffs I am going to lose my home and car, our electricity is about to get shut off and I am at a loss as to what I should do. So I'm asking the awesome people of reddit for help. My wife is disabled and I bring the only income into the house and I cannot do this alone right now. Can anyone possibly help me out in a horrible time of need? I've never taken handouts in my life but I'm afraid I have no choice. If anyone could please help I would be forever grateful to you. I don't know what else to do. I have venmo and cashapp if anyone see's it fit to help me out. I have never asked/begged for a handout in my life but I just don't know what else to do. And literally as I'm trying to write this my car won't start and I'll most likely have to figure out how to get a battery or do something to fix it. I apologize for the long message of me just complaining but I have to figure something out soon, very soon or we will be on the streets. Please anyone HELP ME, PLEASE!

             Corey F Wilkerson 

Please help, anyone listening. This is my last chance at hope. Thank you all.

Experiences at first love church UK/ mustard seed chapel.

I wanted to find out if you have anyone has had any experiences at these churches. I have recently left this group, due to cult like tendencies and the heavy indoctrination through the use of their prophets books, podcasts and even songs. The pastors all preached from the prophets books on Sunday ( which would include scripture from the bible, but very out of context). They were very legalistic and had a heavy focus on giving/ service (which is good when done willingly, not from force). They also ascribed heavily to the OT way of living & curses, which we know no longer are active due to the New Testament and Jesus dying on the cross ( the only curse that is still active today, is he curse in humankind, of ADAM AND EVE in the garden of Eden). I have a lot to say on this and I’m not even articulating myself properly, or detailing the worst bits of what happened, but I really am interested I see if any had shared experiences of this. For context I was heavily involved in this church and attending on/ of f since 16 ( & consistently since 19). I attended with my family, who had been in the church for around 20 years ( as you can imagine it was with great thought and difficulty to leave this group… and was not easy at all, however the doctrine that was being taught was soo incorrect, it was unequivocally clear that this was a cult… even though we had been in attendance for so many years). I look forward to hearing your experiences, feel free to ask more questions, I will also not go into too much detail, to remain anonymous as possible.

Looking for understanding of what I believe in.

I believe in souls i think it makes our life have meaning , at the age of 35, I lost mine. I have no idea who I am anymore. I just needed something to believe in, I NEEDED my soul and I found my FAITH instead . not the god or bible Everyone kept telling me to find. I believe that Gods were created by men. inspired by what holds “His” people in it - The Universe. I think humans created gods and religion to control civilizations. Man tarnished the beauty in what I would consider FAITh. Let me repeat That is my OPINION. I found my soul in the universe and I have to learn this faith in order to learn this soul. I’m not sure how.?.

Religion & Spirituality: Psychological Differences

Hey everyone! My name is Syed and I am a PhD student in psychology who creates videos related to my research areas of faith, meaning, spirituality and well-being. In today’s video, I speak about utilizing spirituality within a communal or ecological framework (using a clip from the Disney film 'Coco') and the noted differences in behavioral outcomes between those who identity as 'religious but not necessarily spiritual' and 'spiritual but not necessarily religious.’

Being back in church live and in person

Being in church live and in person

Since Covid I haven't been to church. I still watch service online on Wednesday nights and Sunday mornings because my church hasn't opened back up yet but to me it's not the same. I need to be in church, I need to be around other believers, I need to feel the holy spirit and the word. So when I found out that my daughter's boyfriend's church was opening live I decided that no matter what I was going.

I asked all my church friends to come with me but it didn't work out with them, it didn't matter I was going anyway. When I got outside all dressed up, I found my tire was flat. I had to get my air machine from the shed, here I was looking for it, all dressed up in heels. Then as I started to fill my tire and the rain came. I yelled the devil is a liar I am going. I filled it enough to get to the gas station but the first one the pump was broken, the second one stole my money and didn't work. I did not care, low tire or not I was going. When I got there it started raining and I forgot my mask and had to go back to the car. It seemed like everything was trying to keep me from getting there, still I was determined and nothing was going to stop me.

Being in the house of God is something special, it's a feeling you can't get at home. A group of believers that come together and give love and praise to God. It's that feeling of the holy spirit that comes when one or more come together to praise his name. I also believe there is always a message for me, when I need it, when I come to church and of course today was no different.

Part of the message was that you don't need to be family to be a family. When someone has your back, you are blessed, we are all God's family. We who are strong need to build others up who aren't as strong. Part of the message was for my bestie who didn't show about stop entertaining foolishness, she needed to hear that.

So in today's time with everything going on, there are so many of us asking is God listening? So much hurt, so much racism, so much craziness we can't help to ask is God listening? When you cry every night, when you're lost and broken and you cry out, God are you listening? We've all been there. But we need to base our values on the hope of Jesus. But he is listening, he hears you, he knows your pain and he is there for you but he also needs us to do things on our end. We need to be the salt and the light, we need to tell others about him and his goodness even when we are confused, and think he's not listening, we need to be true believers. Our responsibility is to bring together everyone to Jesus. We must have the strength to love as Martin Luther King so beautifully said.

We must do this for our world, our cities, our neighborhoods to strengthen each other in love. So many people today are worshiping the wrong things. Ask yourself, are you worshiping money? Fame? Likes? Followers? We need to come back, we need to turn away from idols and turn back to God.

Removing your idiots makes space for God, because the only thing that changes the heart of a man is opening up to God. We don't need people's approval, we don't need likes or followers, we need God's love and approval. We need to restructure our strength. Each of us should praise our neighbors for their good, we need to build them up.

We need to be tough minded and tender hearted. Unmoved in our faith, we need to believe in God, we need to know his works, and we need to realize that it will come but in his time. We need to remember that we are all one, that God created each of us in his likeness, in his image. So how can we hate each other? How can we let others suffer? We are all the same, from the same father.

We need to strengthen each other, lift each other up. Help others in need, help those that don't have what we have. Our privilege needs to help those who do not have privilege. In these times there is a strength that will be needed, a spirit like strength that loves the unlovable, that helps the broken, that shows the light to those in the darkness.

I remember what God said therefore it is not for your sake that I am going to do these things. I will give you a new heart and put in you a new heart. I will put in you my spirit and move you to follow me. Rest in the strength of our God that he will restore and give us the strength of love, for everyone.

So today my friends this was the message, it was for me and hopefully for you as well. Being in church made me do the ugly cry, as I was so overwhelmed with God's grace and mercy. I was so very grateful for being there and for everything he has done and continues to do in my life. I know I am not where I want to be, I know there are things I pray for that have not yet come but I still hold on. I know I now have the things I used to pray for, so that keeps me going. So don't give up, hold on and if you can, go back to a place that makes you feel closer to God, wherever that may be for you.
