ccollins:
thank you @ analice, vooks and nnamdiosu.. I will take time to study u guys post. God bless you all.

u wlc bro

nnamdiosu:


this post answers a lot of questions i always wanted to ask God but couldnt. e.g
why me, why not now, why like this, are you angry with me, do you love him better than me (even though i make efforts to serve you better) e.t.c

we have gotten used to living with parents (and fathers) who made mistakes and arent perfect that we forget and begin to think God is like that. OH GOD FORGIVE ME(US). THIS POST WAS REFRESHING, REVIVING, HELPFUL, SOOTHING....INFACT I'M ALMOST TEMPTED TO BEG YOU TO POST TOMORROWS CONVERSATION AT MORN DEVOTION AGAIN. THANKS DEAR. YOU SAVED A LIFE(S)

God bless you brethren. This dialogue has broken me the whole day. I never saw in this passage what the Holy Spirit showed me today. I have always thought that God does things in my life for me. Today I know that it's all for others, not even for Himself. But For those who are lost, to raise questions in them, then in seeking answers, they could draw close.
I pray to be a useful vessel. For when you make unselfish a willing vessel, you won't regret it, bros you can not show forth God's Glory and not glow yourself.

Throughout this day, I asked for grace to be that vessel, fit for his use. The grace to know when am walking faster than Him.

If he speaks, I will share.

May He grant us the grace for obedience.
God is not wicked.

Hi Anas09,
Let me explain by a diagram
[img]http://nei.nih.gov/sites/default/files/nehep-images/eyediagram.gif[/img]
The eye is basically a 'ball' full of transparent fluid called vitreous gel. For some reasons some linings of the retina wall come off and they float in the gel. These if large enough cast a shadow on the retina and can be noticed as dots which move around as your eye turns. These shadows are called 'floaters' as they appear to float in space in front of your eyes. Think of wearing glasses with a speck or a har strand on them. Everything you look at, you see the speck/hair 'in front' of it. Mine is a tiny strand like 1/20th of a toothbrush strand in size. Totally negligible, and only visible in bright light

Okay, but does it have any spiritual undertone?

Okay, but does it have any spiritual undertone?

Personally, I don't think so, but depending on the size, they can be a real nuisance to some, for me, it's just a tiny speck I only see when I choose to focus on it

ccollins:
Truly, truly. world music stinks of evil (note :it is sooo evil that it can be soul damaging )

the nature of all these deceptive ungodly music are as follows;
Rebellion
Violence
Nihilism (belief in nothing) / Apathy
Escapism / Suicide
Drugs / Alcoholism
Sexual Perversion / Fornication / Pornography
Self-Mutilation
Dissonant / Offensive Sound
The Occult / Satanism
Anti-God / Anti-Authority
Cult-like Organization, Terrorism

you are spot on brother. I remember telling people i detest this type of music because its littered with immorality and curses,they opposed me fiercely.The demons,who beeing cunning inspired these phenomenoms to capture in bondage as many souls as possible before the great day of God.In respect of all this,for the sake of the chosen ones The time is near and our salvation is at hand.

I have an important message to share so You can value Jesus more importantly in your life based on history perspective. the topic is (((Nero Caesar and the
Christian Faith)))

Nero Caesar and the Christian Faith





BY WAYNE JACKSON

One of the most despicable manifestations of human
flesh ever to disgrace this planet was Nero Claudius
Caesar. Born in A.D. 37, Nero was educated at the
feet of the philosopher Seneca (whom he eventually
forced to commit suicide). Nero murdered his way
to the imperial throne, which he occupied from A.D.
54-68. His life was characterized by debauchery,
violence (he caused his own mother to be killed),
and extravagance.
In A.D. 64, a terrible fire broke out in Rome. It was
strongly believed that Nero deliberately torched the
city in order to justify building a more splendid one.
At any rate, the conflagration raged out of control
for more than a week, substantially destroying about
70% of the area.
As a consequence of this tragedy, and the
widespread belief in Nero’s complicity, the emperor
became the brunt of intense criticism. The ruler
seized upon a plan. Due to the fact that Roman
sentiment was hostile toward Christianity, the
emperor would blame the followers of Jesus for this
crime. Thus did he, and in A.D. 64, a fierce
persecution was launched against the saints in
Rome.
We do not know for certain how or when the cause
of Christ was planted in Rome. Apparently it was not
the result of apostolic mission efforts (cf. Rom.
1:11). It could be that some from Rome, converted
on the day of Pentecost (cf. Acts 2:10), migrated
back to their home city and established the church
there. Regardless, this was the first real test of faith
for the saints in the “eternal city.”

The Neronian persecution was vicious indeed.
Tacitus (c. A.D. 60-120), a Roman historian, has
preserved a record of this situation. We quote the
following from his Annals (XV.44).



“And so, to get rid of this
rumor, Nero set up [i.e.,
falsely accused] as the culprits
and punished with the utmost
refinement of cruelty a class
hated for their abominations, who
are commonly called Christians.
Christus, from whom their name is
derived, was executed at the
hands of the procurator Pontius
Pilate in the reign of Tiberius.
Checked for a moment, this
pernicious superstition again
broke out, not only in Judea,
the source of the evil, but even
in Rome…. Accordingly, arrest
was first made of those who
confessed [to being Christians];
then, on their evidence, an
immense multitude was convicted,
not so much on the charge of
arson as because of [their]
hatred for the human race.
Besides being put to death they
were made to serve as objects of
amusement; they were clothed in
the hides of beasts and torn to
death by dogs; others were
crucified, others set on fire to
serve to illuminate the night
when daylight failed. Nero had
thrown open his grounds for the
display, and was putting on a
show in the circus, where he
mingled with the people in the
dress of charioteer or drove
about in his chariot. All this
gave rise to a feeling of pity,
even towards men whose guilt
merited the most exemplary
punishment; for it was felt that
they were being destroyed not
for the public good but to
gratify the cruelty of an
individual.”

There are several interesting things to consider about this topic. First, Nero was the Caesar to whom Paul appealed when he was unjustly accused by the Jews and falsely imprisoned (cf. Acts 25:11). The apostle was taken to Rome and kept under guard for two years (Acts 28:30), before Nero finally heard his case. It is incorrect to say: “[I]t is unknown whether Nero took any personal part in the Apostle’s trial” (Cross, 945). We know this because an angel had explicitly informed Paul: “you must stand before Caesar” (Acts 27:24). The great apostle won his appeal (as chronological data in First Timothy, Titus, and Second Timothy reveal), only to be later condemned by the malevolent ruler. According to the historian Eusebius, Nero beheaded Paul and had Peter crucified (II.25). Next, when Paul wrote to the Christians in Rome, he admonished: “Let every soul be in subjection to the higher powers” (13:1). He points out that government, generally speaking, is for the ordering and protection of society. Laws directed to that end ought to be obeyed. Similarly, Peter wrote: “Be subject to every ordinance of man for the Lord’s sake: whether to the king, as supreme; or unto governors, as sent by him” (1 Pet. 2:13,14). These passages are subtle indicators of the inspired nature of the New Testament. Men who were writing under ordinary human impulses would hardly have encouraged brethren to honor and obey one as vile as Nero. But Christians are to be good citizens regardless of the character of their leaders. Then consider this point. Tacitus mentions “Christus,” from whom the “Christians” derived their name. This is a clear reference to Christ. In Greek “Christ” is Christos . The historian affirms that “Christus” was “executed at the hand of the procurator Pontius Pilate in the reign of Tiberius.” In view of this, how can certain atheists, with a vestige of remaining conscience, continue to claim that the ancient historians never mentioned Christ? A recent writer asserts that “there were no references to Jesus by contemporary historians.” He even includes Tacitus (Matthews, A10). Another skeptic classifies Tacitus’ testimony as “doubtful,” and suggests that the historian was merely reporting what Christians believed, and not what he viewed as actual history (Hayes, 147). Such writers have forfeited every ounce of literary credibility. Next, Tacitus says that Nero’s persecution resulted in the apprehension of some Christians who, in turn, testified against their brethren so that “an immense multitude was convicted” and put to death. It is of some interest that there were church members in Rome who were willing to surrender their own brethren to the authorities for persecution. This cannot but remind us of a situation Paul encountered while he was in the city. When the apostle wrote to the Philippians, he exposed the fact that some of the brethren in Rome were envious of his labor in the gospel. Paul charged that they “preach Christ even of envy and strife” hoping to “raise up affliction” for him in his bonds (1:15-17). They would rub salt in the apostle’s wounds! (cf. Mt. 24:10).

It is not difficult to imagine that some of these were the very ones who “turned state’s evidence” under Nero’s brutal assaults. Tacitus also describes the torture to which Christians were subjected — thrown to wild dogs to be torn apart, burned alive to serve as torches in the night. What suffering! What faith!! The crucial question is this: In spite of some defectors, why was that “immense multitude” of saints so willing to endure this horrible treatment? It can only be that they had strong evidence that Christianity was genuine — that Jesus of Nazareth, the founder, had risen from the dead, and that he offered the hope of eternal life to those who endured in faith. It is a tragic footnote to history that Rome eventually became the focal point of an egregious apostasy from the faith. Can we learn anything from this?

i want to serve God bt itx difficult. Fal 2dae, stnd 2mao

when you believe your thoughts is the real battle ground,it will be easier to be faithful. Learn to reject certain thoughts firsthand,dwelling on them would eject life to it,forcing it to grow out of control,then it will inundate you,the last is that you carried it out physically.Pray to God whenever you sensed the presents of evil thoughts crawling.it will diminish asap.It works !

trapQ:
fallen Angela are demons too.

And yes, the fallen angels still sleep with humanity, bare more demons, which all exist in the spirit world., as opposed to those giants which existed in the physical world.

i think this is true. They must harbour a motive of sleeping with humans,precisely to replicate their forms in the spirit world, another reason is to cause mankind to fall from grace of the Almighty.

Hello Guys..
I'm glad to see the thread is moving on. Thanks to God and everyone contributing positively on the thread.

I travelled for the holidays and connecting to the internet has been quite difficult for me due to the lack of quality network coverage in my area. But thank God I could connect now.

Still reading the posts. Let's keep contributing.

I wish you all a prosperous new year in Jesus Name. We thank God we're alive. We all shall see tomorrow in Jesus Name. Amen

God bless you all.

@analice107 God bless you, for sharing that devotion, for the fact that i knew God loves me, the selfishness in me never ALWAYS thought that what God Had being doing is for others to see, yet i do pray that His glory should shine in my life, but here am i contradicting myself.

Your post is a water down my throat, I had so much expectations this year but some came while those i desire most still coming..... it was such a burden to be thinking about those things, but as youth of Faith i stood on what am good at, #HaveFaithInGod, but i soon got the last stroke of the year.

The last cash on me got lost yesterday i was so disturbed but the response i got was in Gen 15, reading your post heal me completely.

God bless you

CharlyG1, vooks, ccolins, nnamdiosu, and all good morning

CharlyG1,
I had an interesting dream today. We were on a safari, a trip through some uninhabited place like mountainous and forested place. I think I was in company of my past school mates.

Then there were huge cracks developing on the surface of the earth and rocks were moving and falling. If you watched the cracks that followed the Nepal earthquake earlier this year, it was like that( see the image below). I don't recall anyone falling into them but there was a real danger of tripping and we were afraid.

Then my dad shows up and advised us against stepping on the smaller cracks as they were developing into bigger ones suddenly and they could swallow us alive.

There are bits about people's neck I can't quite recall.

Then I woke up

Stay blessed beloved

This is good.
I'm always amazed with the way God speaks.

Your dream is straightforward. It's talking about this thread.

The safari (hunting expedition of wild animals/beasts) is simply about this thread's topic 'Seeing Demons, Angels..'..Just like safari is like a warfare on animals. This thread is warfare on the satanic kingdom.
God actually calls demons 'beasts or foul creatures'.


Inhabited places are places people or christians don't usually tread or discuss (just like this thread of seeing demons etc.)

Your past school mates refers to historic knowledge or a learning ground.

The small cracks is small unnecessary matters/arguments that will lead into 'Big cracks' (big problems)..

Your Father is God Himself.

Interpretation:God is saying.. Don't dwell on small unnecessary arguments that may eventually lead into Big problems on the thread.

I'm glad God has told you this Himself.

GOD BLESS YOU VOOKS

Thanks so much bro Charles for the warm welcome glad to be here to.

One has got no choice but to strive to be closer to God infact I have come to realise overtime a life without God's divine direction is a waste and to hope on man is vain.

I pray the will of the Almighty be done in all our lives and thank you once again for your kind words.

God bless you and us all.

Please I will send u a pm bro Charles, thanks.

I bless the Name of the Lord for this explosive thread, it has helped to greatly revive my prayer life.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL

I had a dream about two months ago, i have a neighbour, we were so close we were like sisters. all of sudden we started drifting apart gradually(i cant really understand what happened) we dont keep malice, but not as close as before
so in this dream, one of her friends came to visit her, so the friend was asking her "ah ah what happened between you and aunty(me)" she said nothing so they both went inside
i was in my house with my husband when someone knocked, i opened the door, it was her and the friend, she(neighbour) gave me a bowl filled
with fried yams and top of the yams, one ball of fresh pepper was on top of the yams, i collected it with the intention of throwing it away
i woke up.

i know it is not good to recieve fresh pepper in dreams
but i dont understand

God bless you sir.
What I now know is that, whatever God gives, it's for others to be uplifted. We live for others. I am as lifted as you are, because I was a little anxious with the year ending and being human, I set goals which, as far as am concern, we're not all fulfilled. I went to Him with all the questions, just like you. He answered. Now am fulfilled.

4C2215131:


I don't understand what you're saying. I stated the reason for addressing you in that manner in my post.

Again I appealed to you to 'call her to caution'. Thought you'd perceive the intent behind my post.

I never criticized you for her post. I even tried explaining why I sent you that post and my explanation had nothing to do whatsoever with indicting you in her rant.

I don't ever come at people who have I have no business coming at. It's against my personal philosophy and certain creeds I have espoused .

I only appealed to you due to the implied respect the busybody chap has for you as mentioned in his/her post so I was deferring to a supposed higher authority to call to order a 'surbodinate' of sort given the scenario. But obviously I was wrong.

Again if you are adding your voice to the apology, you'd have stopped at that. Qualifying your apology by infering that I am brewing a storm in a tea cup ala the sledgehammer..." remark detracts from your intent.

If you see nothing seriously wrong in the unwholesome language that busybody used in describing myself and some other chaps, well I guess I am guilty of using a sledgehammer.

Furthermore, my tone was far from condescending. You do not report someone ,asking for redress, to a subordinate of the erring party, you report to a superior. How that becomes condescending to you is beyond me.


While I apologize for any slight my post may have caused your person, I also do not abide the language of your post making me out to be a cry baby and some attention seeking individual that can't be pacified.

If you follow my posts you'd know that I have moved on from this matter. In fact I am weary of this issue. There are more pertinent matters to attend to .

This thread is being appreciated by certain folks who are benefitting from it, God forbid that I will be manipulated to derail or put a spanner in the works as I am all about development and growth.

My apologies to CharlyG1 who birthed this thread, it wasn't my intention to create noise and interference but, I am just mortal. I was attacked and my instincts swung into action;repel the attack by attacking back and the collateral damage seems to be a derailing of the thread. I am sorry.

Blessed Be.

you have no pride. I love that!
