    Remember People, Brothers sisters, Dont stop praying Dont be put off, you know whome you prayer too its all ok. Jesus was hounded by Satan when fasting, Jesus is with us now with Father and Holy Spirit when we prayer and with us as we prayer. Always armour up if weary and speak with Jesus or God as a whole. Gods got your back, trust and love with all your heart. Remember God Loves you all very much, Do not stop praying.... Satan is no Match for God, And God hears and loves and protects you, yes you...Dont fear Evil....God has your back..... much love all, keep going, and mostly Keep the FAITH...

    I still remember my great folly during the covid lockdown, I foolishly got into spiritualism, among a great number of other sins. In my hubris, I feared I nearly lost my soul, and that I was doomed. But it was Jesus Christ who saved me in my darkest hour. I pray that no one falls for the same mistakes I made, and I still sometimes worry and fear about its impact on my soul and life. I needed the word so bad, and still need it, and pray to stay hungry for it. I put all my faith in the goodness, love and salvation God gave us when he gave Christ, his only begotten son for us. Jesus is king, and all glory goes to God, folks.

    You know why God shouts in our pains? Because those pains hurt him as it does to us, bodily and spirituality. And he is infinitely more sensitive and aware of it. Minding God is minding also his sufferings, not only past, yet present and presently. Listening to the Word is not merely reading a book, but reaching out to Word made Flesh, our Lord, Jesus Christ.

    10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. 11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. 13 Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. 14 Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, 15 and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. 16 In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

    Listening to this brought to my mind the author of Jesus Calling who said she was seeking the Lord when a light appeared to her. It was after this that she said she started hearing “God” speaking to her the things she wrote in the book. It was as if she was receiving divine revelations. I don’t believe it was really the Lord speaking to her.

    Prayer is when we talk to God. Reading and meditating on the Holy Scriptures is God talking to us. It's a two way communication. Yes, there must be a balance. We spend too much time talking to the LORD and he cannot get us to listen because the Bible is gathering dust on the shelf. Just imagine your son or daughter talkng to you on the phone and you cannot get a word in. That is what this message is about. Speaking to God but not listening to him.

    Prayer is your speaking to God. Don't expect Him to talk back and you'll be better off. Going into any type of ecstatic trance state through prayer, meditation or whatever else, can happen. People fall into trance just looking at a camp fire. But if visions come up in these states, thinking you are hearing back from divine beings can be dangerous, whether you think it's God or the devil or anything in between. The problem isn't the trance states but rather your false interpretation of them which may lead you to misdirect your life or become inflated. Such visions are no more real than the visions of your dreams at night. The deeper recesses of the mind (the unconscious parts) are able to speak in symbolic languages when in these states and when we reify these images we stupidly misunderstand them and miss the point of what is being communicated to us. This makes us dumb, not smart. The concern isn't evil spirits but rather your own madness as you fail to perceive the meaning of the reality within. If you can understand the language of the unconscious is not in words but in symbols you may actually learn something and heal from these states. They have that powerful capacity.

      That's why you need discernment and to know the word. You can't deny these things, God still speaks to people. I feel like it's a fear tactic, we need faith..of course not to accept everything but to test if it is from the Lord or not. Also how will you follow Jesus if you're gonna ignore His voice? You can't do that, we must win against the devil, we were given authority to do so but it's not of ourselves or pride but of God. If you are a "baby" christian you of course can't jump into these things. So you need maturity, you need to be led by the Holy Spirit, you need to know the Lord, the word, the truth etc. all of it is important my friend. Maybe it's not for all people but for the believers as church it is. If you are not sure if someone has it from the Lord or not, rather don't say anything as it could be from God and you would say something blasphemous because whether you don't understand why it, don't have knowledge in this case or even have the wrong doctrine yourself about the subject. The Bible says:
      17“‘And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams;
      Remember there are things that don't change, Jesus is Lord, The Son of God, God manifested in the flesh, the Savior and the only thing way to the Heavenly Father. Just a couple of truths, but there are many many things that we just don't understand, so just rather pray about it, let it be, give it to God, don't judge spiritual things,let God be the judge. Judge yourself, judge obvious sins and sinful lifestyle. Many things I once wasn't sure about turned out to be actually wrongly understood by me or I even had a really wrong understanding, mainly from the internet about those things.
      Let me give you an example, i thought Christmas, Christmas tree is all pagan, saw videos on the internet saying all kinds of stuff, but then I found the true history of it, that in ancient times (in some places it still continues if I am not mistaken) there were plays of Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden. These plays took place in December, as you know no tree is green in December unless certain kinds of trees and there were no fruits on it of course. So they used saved fruits from the last season and decorated with it the tree. That's where the Christmas tree and bubble decorations originate. And because the plays of Adam and Eve and Christmas both took place in December decorations from one continued to Christmas not just because it's decorative but also because of the meaning. Because of Adam we were thrown out of paradise and the tree of life, but Jesus Christ came to reconcile us to God by dying on the wooden cross to bring us back to God and give us eternal life that we as humanity lost because of Adam. See, I could judge, say things etc and think I was totally right but I wouldn't.. so rather let God be judge, go focus on Christ and your relationship with Him and the Father, who knows, maybe soon God will give you understanding and you will see it differently. And if this little thing that is not even something crucial makes so much difference once I understand it, how much spiritual things that could save/condemn someone's life?
      Hope this blesses you.

    Actually prayer has been tested and has been shown to not only NOT be effective but it actually worsens the health of those knowingly prayed for. When patients were told they were being prayed for they became stressed and nervous probably due to not wanting to let the praying people down.

When patients were told they were being prayed for they became stressed and nervous probably due to not wanting to let the praying people down. They other group that was not told they were being prayed for did not show any signs of anything but normal improvement. Prayer does not resolve serious problems.

      We must pray primarily for the well-being of the soul, not the body. That's why we must also fast and deny ourselves.

      ​@@user-sf2pn5le2h "We must pray primarily for the well-being of the soul, not the body." I'm curious if you can describe where in the human body the soul is located? For some reason the soul was never mentioned in my anatomy class. Good luck.
