Heaven is within you," said the Lord, Jesus Christ.

Love those words, they echo what's been on my heart. humility. Chosen in Him before the foundation, our names written in the book of life before, and chosen in him to live at this time and place unto our Lord for his Glory.

Christ in You, the hope of glory

Humility is so key otherwise we have blinders on.

I have some things to share, please feel free to add a prayer or verse, share your love for God, fellow man, country.

Yes indeed, worshipped my own intellect for many years

Amen myeyes

original trick of the devil, original sin You are God. Eat and Know. The devil is the original liar.

God is in this with us. Have FAITH and let him work his way through us. And pray for godspeed🙏

Yes, in that original deception was the knowledge of good and evil, the Lord always intended for us to come to him for what is good or the other..

The serpent tempted Eve and said – "Go ahead, eat, you'll be fine", and so she did. Was she evil? Was she disobedient? She was innocent. The serpent knew the inner innocence of the child. He wasn't saying to defy God, but to just trust me, and everything will be fine - very cunning. The serpent was the source of falsehood. Beware the serpent! It will entice you through cunning, sly, deceptive means, and attack your very vulnerability, your innocence, the innocence of the child. We can't tell the truth! Like a computer, the mind has been programmed with falsehood. **not my writing.

I love the Lord God with all my weakness and inhibition. I turn to Him in trust as I fall before His feet. I see in Him the swallow of each tear that casts a shadow. I bring to Him a heart sobbing in relief.

NO VIDEOS SNYPE. I ALREADY ASKED. PLEASE. PRAYER MEETING. NO RELIGIOUS DEBATE.

The Hebrew scholar among us can tell you, the Earth is a plane....

Rejoice in our Lord always; and again I say, Rejoice. Let your humility be known to all men. Our Lord is at hand. Do not worry over things, but always by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which passes all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Jesus Christ. St. Paul, Philippians Chapter 4, 4-7

I lift my eyes up, to the mountain, where does my help come from? My help comes from you, maker of heaven, creator of the earth. From a song I love based on Bible verses.

apologies... sister/brother

@Romans 6 please go find something else to do.

let's pray the Prayer of St. Francis together. Posted just above. one minute silence please.

Prayer of Saint Francis

"O Lord, make me an instrument of Thy Peace! Where there is hatred, let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is discord, harmony. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. Where there is sorrow, joy.
Oh Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; for it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life."

Unto thee oh Lord do we lift up our voices and hearts that your presense of Love shall continue to surround and dwell in us

Amen.

Some encouragement in verse:

Jude 1:6 - And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day.

James 2:19 - Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.

Jude 1:9 - Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

2 Peter 2:4 - For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast [them] down to hell, and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;

Ephesians 6:12 - For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].

Hebrews 1:14 - Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

2 Corinthians 11:14 - And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.

Luke 20:36 - Neither can they die any more: for they are equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection.

1 Peter 5:8 - Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

John 4: 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world.

Jeramiah 31:3.... indeed I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore with loving kindness I have drawn you.

Watching Mercy Me, Flawless

Heck yes, draw us deeper and deeper into those out stretched arms of Love, oh Father we long for that eternal embrace

a bit on tests and temptations...if you are serving The Lord, you are a target of the dark side. so, just this for now:

...very first teaching in the very first book of the New Testament is a demonstration by Jesus on how to defeat the devil...

The Temptation of Jesus

4 Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. 2 And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry. 3 And the tempter came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, command these stones to become loaves of bread.” 4 But he answered, it is written,

˜Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word that comes from the mouth of God“

5 Then the devil took him to the holy city and set him on the pinnacle of the temple 6 and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, throw yourself down, for it is written,

“He will command his angels concerning you,™

and

“On their hands they will bear you up,
lest you strike your foot against a stone.”

7 Jesus said to him, “Again it is written, ˜You shall not put the Lord your God to the test. 8 Again, the devil took him to a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. 9 And he said to him, “All these I will give you, if you will fall down and worship me.” 10 Then Jesus said to him, “Be gone, Satan! For it is written,

“You shall worship the Lord your God
and him only shall you serve.”

11 Then the devil left him, and behold, angels came and were ministering to him.
(Matthew 4:1-11)

"Don't fool yourself that you are smarter than the deceptive
capacity of evil--you're not. The first thing that'll save you is humility--you are not smarter. These entities have been at it forever. They can sense the slightest weakness in your psyche and know just how to pull that out. They'll have you licking their boots, thinking you're serving God.

Alright, I don't want to build them up to be greater than what they are, but they are extremely clever--extremely clever.

(some are excerpts from my learnings along the way.)

If the devil, who was the Angel of Light (def of Lucifer) was able to drag down angels to this place with him from HEAVEN, imagine what he can do here. That's all I'm saying.

Prayer is your only true defense in this spiritual bad. Good and evil. Raging on.
