    Genesis 19:30-33 does have a positive message when you see that Ruth came from that lineage. Which is amazing how God used such a history to bring something good. And then Jesus came from Ruth. Again God can use a messy past to bring out an amazing future. We dont have to allow our past to define who we can become.

    I agree with everything! In this video but one thing i must say is Grace! I believe in Jesus Grace on us and he wants a personal relationship with all of us anyone can call him and be guide by him! I personally felt him do many times and i was far from perfect, and i felt like a bright light entered me and a tremendous love covered me! I believe in Jesus so much!!!! But i believe we misunderstood his teaching and hes making search for truth!

    The mystics meditate. Mark 13:37 I say to you and to all, Watch. Watch means become awaken. Make thine eye single. Seek the kingdom It’s within. Woe to those who do not enter within. The prodigal son is the “Christian” or the religious man. He is called back to meditation where the “God” mind is. The mind that has no “man” thought. Christian can’t read the Bible because Proverbs 1:6. They don’t know any ancient sayings.

  • @Mike-hr6jz
    @Mike-hr6jz 16 дней назад

    Thank you for your more focused approach. At this point I do believe mysticism is result of the revelation of Jesus in our own hearts, and the more we work on being obedient and studying his ways in prayer through obedience, we become mystical at least that’s what it looks like to the world around us looking at us, I have subscribed I thank you again I’ve been watching past videos your testimony, and more who has encouraged me thanks again and God bless you in the name of the father, the son and the Holy Spirit

    Hi :) what about the rosary? I tried meditating for years and it never did anything for me. Then I started praying the rosary and I reach meditative state in minutes and I LOVE it. Also, it is proven that it lowers your heart rate rather quickly and is a more effective way to get into a relaxed state than a lot of other relaxing techniques. ❤

    Totally Awesome Truth. I've been reading the Bible Spiritually for a number of years. It has enriched my understanding of God, the world,other people and myself. Being a believer in a mystical understanding of God's word, Nature, experiences, and circumstances has taught me that God can speak through anything and everything in his creation.

    Hey Jon, I'm new to your channel. Though I could be considered "new age" (I'm not a big fan of any labels). But I do absoluety have a personal relationship with Jesus. No disrespect intended here at all. But could you please clarify, could people like John the Baptist or even Moses not be considered as "enlightened" beings. If so, did there enlightment come to them through Jesus, as explained in this video?

    I look forward to listening to this series! As I am wrapping up my MTS program, I have recently found myself unable to stop thinking about how closely Pentecostalism (the tradition I grew up in and continue to practice) is connected with Roman Catholic/Eastern Orthodox mysticism. I have been digging into texts like Daniel Castelo's "Pentecostalism as a Christian Mystical Tradition", along with other texts to compare the lives and practices of the medieval mystics to some of the early American Pentecostals... I cannot stop wondering what applied Christian mysticism could mean for ministry to spiritual seekers, Buddhists, etc... I look forward to hearing what you have to say on the topic of Christian mysticism, especially with the way you have made it very practical by applying the ideas to Bible study.

    • @withjonadams
      @withjonadams Месяц назад

      Fantastic comment. You picked up what I’m putting down better than most. And American Pentecostalism as a mysticism is fascinating, I’d love to learn more. I’ll check out the source you mentioned. Thanks!

    • @hannahcovington357
      @hannahcovington357 Месяц назад

      ​@@withjonadams Castelo and his wife also wrote a peer-reviewed article titled, "Caring for Contemporary Mystics: Pentecostalism and the Mystical Worldview" for the Journal of Spiritual Formation & Soul Care. In it, they quote Harvey Cox's book "Fire from Heaven," where he wrote about those with Spirit baptism. He wrote, "Spirit baptism was not just an initiation rite, it was a mystical encounter. That is why they sometimes sounded like Saint Teresa of Avila or Saint John of the Cross, although they had probably never heard of either one." This has become my favorite quote. Thanks for sharing the enthusiasm! My husband and I will be listening to your videos!

    This is wonderful teaching, Jon. Thank you. It's very helpful to think of Gratitude as a "practice" rather than as a fleeting emotional response. A practice I like that works similarly, I think, is conciously remember good things and meditating on them until they are fixed in your memory. It really helps counteract all the scary or frustrating memories that cling to us like burrs.😊
