Christianity EtcRe: Who Else Has Had This Experience? by ErnestNc(op): 11:36pm On May 26, 2023
majorgr:
Yes I have especially during my younger days in prayer, it feels so much like oil and when you attempt to touch it, there would absolutely be nothing there. It's spiritual and also the tangible anointing of the Holy Spirit. One day while praying for insight as to what it means the Lord told my heart while qouting scripture that says Thou anointed me with the oil of gladness! That's the oil of gladness friend! The bible says the joy of the lord is your strength... In the presence of the lord there is liberty joy and gladness. I want to also presume something about your life recently, you hardly get annoyed. That's one benefit you get spending time with Christ. Also, I advice never to seek any physical signs from God, enjoy it while it last but physically-tangible signs don't last. So you might as well work in faith and not on sight regardless feeling or not.
Wow. Just So precise. I hardly get annoyed. Very true.

I've been activated to walk by faith and not by sight.

Honestly even when I was prophesying, the Lord mentioned something like that. The Lord spoke alot of things through me scripturally that I never even thought about for once.

Thanks for sharing your experience. It's really good to know we have christians like this on this platform.

Oh, I do, that is why I don't get involved much in politics these days. But back to the subject at hand. Please go get yourself a physical checkup and a mental one as soon as possible. That sensation you feel has absolutely nothing to do with the Spirit as explained by Jesus Christ. undecided
Lol.

You should do the same too.

You folks have thoroughly bastardized the meaning of the Spiritual abeg!

1. OP, none of what you described has to do with Scripture. Experiencing cold spots or hot flashes has nothing to do with the spiritual and more to do with mental issues since those sensations are recorded in your physical body. undecided

2. The spirit of God is not of feeling or sensation but of consciousness and of power beyond your person. So, I have to suggest you visit a doctor the soonest to make sure what you are feeling aren't symptoms of something else. undecided
I think you should follow the advise on your signature.
Practice what you preach and we all can live in peace.
Stay blessed 💝
Christianity EtcWho Else Has Had This Experience? by ErnestNc(op): 8:25pm On May 26, 2023
So, something happened to me for the first time after a 12 hour prayer charge with Lawrence Oyor mid last year.

At the closing of the prayer program, i started sensing this feeling of something resting on my head like a cool liquid. But when I touched my head i found my hair/head dry.

I thought it was the AC, so being befuddled, I asked my friends and neighbors if they felt any cool liquid sensation on their heads too, but they all said NO. This experience lasted for 4hrs that day.

Since then , I occasionally feel this cool liquid sensation , sometimes during prayer or before prayer .

Today, something happened. I came back from work this evening and It was already my prayer time but I didn't feel like praying.

I turned off the alarm so I could escape the reminder . Then instantly there was conflict in my soul and a great urge to pray . I could recognise that urge anyday, it's the feeling I get anytime when I try to resist the urge to fulfill my once addictive habbits .

Immediately, I started feeling the cool liquid being poured on my head again and it's been more than 4hours now and I still feel it as I'm typing .

I prayed, prophesied , and even penned down inspired teachings and knowings I never learnt from anyone or heard before. It was like I had access to someone else's mind and I was feeding off their intelligence. I would ask a question and also get feed backs instantly with more insights and instant knowings. The thoughts and knowings were not mine or concocted by me.


It was an amazing experience and I know there are still more abilities to explore in subsequent experiences. I still feel this sensation right now. And I know it's spiritual.

Are there folks who have had such or similar experience here ? Maybe burning sensations, or tingling sensations during any spiritual activity ... If yes, Would you be keen to share yours?

Thanks!

They are indeed God’s creation.

The tares sown by the devil here is the media, which when not judiciously used, becomes a tool of deadly reprogramming.

Because the mind has been so messed up by the kind of songs we listen to and movies we watch, once we see huge ass, voluminous chests and all; crazy signals are sent to our brains… 🤧

Boarded a tricycle earlier today, and a song was blasting from the speakers (you know these young keke guys and how loud they love their musics), and all I could hear was “pussy, pussy, pussy”; over and over again.

Mind you, I’m not one given to being overly religious and all, but it was just disgusting to be hearing such , so early in the day.

Had to Shazam it, and realized it was “Baddest remix by Davido and Skibii”. I just shook my head.

Imagine a young boy like that young rider having this sort of songs on repeat steady… 🤔

Once he sees a lady, most often than not, all he will be visualizing is “pussy”. 😏
You know, you're not far from the truth.
There's a whole lot of programming going on by the media and this post by the op is one of such.
No matter how sane you try to be by trying to filter what to feed off the media and offline society, you just can't do that successfully cuz the next person by your side or on your contact could be a carrier or an enabler.

Gone are those days when the family, school and offline societies were the main agents of socialization.

Now, the media is doing what all other agents of socialization failed to do, and the reflection of such influence is the gross height of moral decadence that has befallen the youths and many young and vibrant minds of this generation.

Every movie, song and comedy skit is trying to sell you the idea of normalising immorality.

The way the algorithms work is crazy. If you waste 30secs on an uplanned video or song, they'd try to show you more of such contents.

We have embraced the things we once called a taboo and an anomaly. We have also adopted them into our culture as a norm. I don't think the world will get any better til there's a reset. The worst is yet to come.

I'm starting to think wether curvy ladies are not creations of God.

Why would God create something that seduces and inducts one into immorality?

Remember the parable of the sower.

"When men slept an enemy came and sowed tares"

God sowed humans , Satan also sowed his own breed of humans with corrupt minds and influence on the earth. And on the last day , God will separate the wheats from the chaff and his seeds from the tares.

It's a badge I wear with dignity serving my father's land.

Well I won't fail to Educate you. I made my first 6-7figs at 21, 1.2m precisely in 2020 during the pandemic as an Affiliate for digital markets after trying several failed investments...

I still make 6-7figs depending on how less busy and engaged I am with day job with just my smart phone as an affiliate making commissions per sales.
God bless the likes of Prince Chuka and Pascal who were my mentors.

In the same 2020 I learnt 2 digital skills added to my income skill portfolio. Between 2021 and 2022 I had taught over 200-380 persons how to navigate through the financial markets and instruments by understanding liquidity pools and how the big banks and big boys move the markets by taking money(liquidation) in fx ,indices and stocks..

Currently, I'm still an affiliate on various digital space, which means I work freely. I'd keep my day job anytime and I'd still pick up a good pay job. Cuz I know what I want. I follow my mentors. I'm not a fool .

I've attended several paid seminars to sharpen and broaden my skills, trained more and talked to many people than you can ever do in 3 life times.

Getting a house can save you rent wahala.
But once you own your house then you can save for investment knowing nobody go come knock your door Incase your investment fails...
But trust me I get your point...
Good input. I agree , If my business/asset can build/buy me a house, why not? I'm already rich and wealthy . But as an employee, it's bad investment, which the lady in question is.

For people trying to build wealth, I'd not recommend going for a house first, because it is an expense incurred on ur earned income. The net income left will be little for acquiring assets, hence it becomes vulnerable to more liquidation.

The aim is reducing costs and maximizing my profits , til I'm able to earn grossly passive with little or no inputs .

trash. House prices 10 years ago are not same today. In the western world there are limited ways to get real money. Moreover she is a doctor, 20 years into her career she would have acquired more than 3 houses which can be rented
You remain poor because you don't ask questions. You attack what you don't understand and speak out of ignorance.

How can there be "Limited ways to get money? " In the western space , yet your African brothers troop their everyday.
Hell yes, I was right. You sound like a novice with zero knowledge on matters as touching business inkling and wealth creation.

She's a doctor , yes but she is she rich ? No , probably middle class, and all they do is buy liabilities than assets. You'd be shocked to know she got the house on a down payment , and she might have to keep paying for many years.

In the western world, income is taxed heavily . This means about 10-30% of her earning goes to the government. There comes mortgage debt , fuel, expenses and other miscellaneous and loans to pay for, from just one income.

This is why y'all are poor and think poor. You can't differentiate between an asset and a liability. You fund liabilities and expenses with earned income instead of passive or portfolio income . Then when you stop working, you can't pay bills anymore. Stvpid idea.

I'd only listen to you if you have results to prove that this the right way to be financially liberated.

Owning a house is a luxury if you don't own any assets but your job. It is ill-advised , especially in the western society where they are heavily ladened with taxes, mortgage payment, which I'm sure the lady in question opted for.

RomanceHow To Go From Broke To Rich By This Hack by ErnestNc(op):
I found out the easiest way to get money and solve all your money problems in life. I'm sharing for Free!

But,
First, you must understand the dynamics of money and how it works .

I was once like you and I thought like you for a long time. I waited for some magical happening to unfold that will sky rocket me to my destination in life , but it didn't, until I found the key.

Secondarily, Money isn't made, but taken . Only the central banks can print money, you and I can't do that. That function was not factored into one of our multiple capabilities. But by my info, I can show you how to print it digitally and take it for free.

This information you're about to get for free will save you most of the
most valuable resource you expend almost for free with your employers , and one of it is your time.

Thirdly, I'm not selling to you any investment scheme , neither am I giving you anything that would require you to pay me , even tho this information worths more than 200k which I do charge to teach people how to apply. I'll only give u some for FREE and keep some for my pocket.

But I'll come back soon to share when I'm free and when I see some willingness from folks, so drop a response like 'ready', so the algorithm can get this to others.

Til then, I'll be back, but right now I need to go take some money because it's more important than sharing this info with you now.

Buying a House is not an Asset. Though it's a good achievement I must congratulate.

I'd rather live in a rented flat , stack and acquire more assets with the money I should use to acquire a house and other luxuries, just so that I can retire early . The houses, cars and luxuries can come later as soon as my assets start paying.

Why should I fund my lifestyle from a single Job, because it pays me well ? It's like a never ending rat race . Your employer wants you to take money only from him , but he takes money from multiple individuals, companies etc ...
Why take money from one , when I can take money from the society through the assets i've amassed and be wealthy?

It’s almost five months now, I still do not have appetite to eat, I can’t bring myself to listen to love songs as it saddens me, I still cry everyday and everything reminds me of him.

How long does it really take to get over someone and please how do I get over him. I am drained
Sorry about your experience. You are allowed to process the grief. But don't dwell on it forever. There are more important things to worry about . For example, there is a current crisis that is about to hit the nation , speculations of an impending inflation where prices of goods and commodities will mostly tripple in may.

You need to occupy your thoughts with creating sustainable sources of income to counter the effect of this crisis, for you and your family, so you can feed, look healthy and happy for the long run as the crisis looms. I'm sure that's what your ex-boy is doing , that's why he moved on so quickly. Quit moping about this, I understand your pain. But you got to occupy your mind about something more productive than grief, think about survival and making an impact.

If you need a friend to talk to , you can dm anyway... I can be of help so you can move on faster.

You're wrong in this case.
It's obvious you've never been in the man's stead before in real life. So , I don't think you can process the emotions exuding from the Convo.
The woman is Expressing lack of empathy, ingratidude and entitlement , while the man is expressing the feelings of bitterness , betrayal and weakness. He's a sore and bitter loser.

He still wants in knowing fully well that she's wrong for him, hence, his Frustration and use of insultive terms. He's more or less a bad investor or a dumb gambler . He is exhibiting signs of obsessive compulsive disorder . It speaks volumes. It happens alot to people when they are unable to accept loss , but still process the grief of loss continually.

He lost but can't afford to cut his losses. He's suffering from Stockholm syndrome in simple terms: This is when a victim develops some strong positive feeling towards his/her captor or abuser, instead of disdain.

Til now it isn't. Even going to school to study and acquire business relations , or financial skills doesn't still qualify it to be one, til you are taught on how to implement , but that will never happen because the governing system doesn't want you to know about the dynamics of money . So they really allow us to be tutored by failures who are academically sound.

It was a luxury for those who could afford it to understand the principles that govern life and society
Primarily, yes . But now, what is being taught in schools have become more abstract because we are being taught by fakes and failures who just take up a lecturing/teaching job to survive. An engineer should be lectured by a consultant or a functional one, A medical student by a thriving doctor, banking student by a successful banker , a business admin student by a real life business guru.. It goes on..


I think it's left to the individual to learn how to trade from what ever knowledge they acquire. Moreso, there are courses on finances to learn from.
Correct.

For example, I read biology. In the economy its practically useless, or so i thought. People love to hear and read about animals, and the biological aspects of life in general. So, that's where learning to trade comes in. If people demand stories of wildlife, how can i package my product for sell... Something like that
You're smart. We know by now, one Cant successfully take money from people's pockets without exploiting their greed, desires, fear(emotions), need and ignorance , invariably solving their problems.

First find a niche that can solve problems related to your course of study and that can service your demograph and targets , cuz you'll definitely not be selling to every one. You need to be strategic to target specific audiences .

Top Niches that sell fast in Nigeria
:
1. Health
2. Wealth generation (60% of Nigerians have money problems)
3. Food
4.sex/relationship
5. Travel/life style/clothing etc

These values can be delivered in 3 basic forms :
1. Idea/belief
2. Knowledge and information
3. Products and services...

Once you make your research and you find an area of concentration and the target audience your services are meant for, Start production , branding . Manage, employ and market to your target. You'd need a lot of hiring to do because you've just become a business owner.

Visibility to do what?
Visibility to sell what? A human?

I'm sure visibility to sell a PRODUCT or SERVICE that is deemed reliable!

And reliable products/service come from brilliant & creative people not necessarily brand/marketers.

You sound like one can't be good at both.
It doesn't matter how creative you are or how reliable your products are, if they are not visible to the right target audience , your efforts would be futile. That's what football academies/clubs are for, Record labels, marketing firms etc...
Money is a medium of exchange of value. It's synonymous to value and only revolves around people who can speculate , detect , own and distribute value.. and not just people who have value.

It shows you don't even understand simple dynamics of the business world and economics at large to start with.

You need good image branding by influencing the narratives of your products . You can't create something and expect people to perceive it's worth by mere sight . Tho there are products that sell themselves with little or no promotion.
But , Majority of businesses would agree that you can't take money from the society if the value you're rendering isn't convincing enough to leak their pockets and also if your products is not visible enough to your target audience.

I've bought courses that weren't worth it and I wasn't disappointed but impressed . I did my research but still got liquidated for a mediocre content. I've also sold courses worth multiple thousands that were below standard because of how hyped it was . I controlled the narratives , I convinced my target audience and I took money from their pockets .


A young lady made billions by selling kuli kuli to her target audience by promoting her products digitally.. I know of a friend who owns a multi million naira company just by selling courses with sub standard contents digitally .

I am currently a student in one of the best federal University in Nigeria. My current cgpa is 4.63 and I got it without any form of malpractice aka expo. I achieved it with hardwork and dedication. I am not boasting in any way but I am trying to build the confidence of average students that they can get an excellent result without engaging in any form of malpractice or looking for short cut to pass. What they need to do is to work very hard and be fully dedicated to their studies. And lastly, school is not a scam because lots of great men have benefited from it. Great men like Peter obi, chukwuma soludo, wole soyinka, yemi osinbajo
Cc lalasticlala
Commendable result. It took commitment and dedication to achieve this feat. I myself was also a good student during my study years. But I must tell you the truth, the men you mentioned did not become successful because of their talents or grades but because of how they branded themselves.

Visibility and promotion is key. Learn how to sell and market something of value to start taking money from the society , else your education might just be summarised only in that piece of certification and the oath and vow of poverty might be your consolation anthem.

School programs you to become an employee as it certifies your intelligence in the area of performance but doesn't prepare you for reality. only intelligent people are employed to work. The average smart individual learns how to market his brand, sell his idea and employ intelligent people to work in the rat race.

I'm not negating the place value of education in the society but there's a high chance extrapolating from your written piece that you are very much a good candidate for an employer to exploit, if you believe the delusion that school will give you the required success you desire.

Even your average university lecturer is fake as he is not a true professional In his field, not talk more of being successful in life without financial literacy, good business acumen and marketing prowess. The men you listed have the aforementioned skills and they weren't taught in school.

Anyone can become anything, just go to school and become. But if your lecturer is fake, then you will be fake.
If you must become, truly, you must learn from someone who is currently thriving in that field.

But If I would commend anyone to go to school, it's to learn how to be financially literate, a good sales man or marketer. Money rules the world and you need to learn how to win . That is how you win, also not negating the importance of spiritual, emotional and physical balance and enlightenment.

Do you mean that when we are told that Abraham simply chose to fear and obey God even as a child would obey a parent, Abraham really didn't do that? undecided

2. If their standard does not coincide with that which is the standard set by God Himself, what relevance is their mention in this conversation that is strictly about God and His standard/Law/agreement for men to follow? undecided

3. ■ In the beginning God gave Law to Adam — one of the important commandments found in Genesis 2 vs 15 - 17— and commanded Adam to obey His commandments and statues
■ God said Abraham lived His life in obedience to His commandments and statutes aka God's Law as given by God to Abraham.
■ In Moses's time, God's instructions to the people were that they live their lives in obedience to His commandments and statutes aka God's Law as He gave them to them.
■ Under Jesus Christ, we are called to live our lives in continuous submission and obedience to the teachings and commandments of Jesus Christ, God's Covenant, and Law in the Kingdom of God.

The mandate from God to all men regarding His Laws remains the same as it was from the very beginning. So what exactly are you insisting has changed in all that time? undecided

Read what Jesus Christ in fact said of the power of Grace in John 3 vs 5 - 8 when He spoke of what it is like to be born of the Spirit(of eternal life)? undecided

3. According to Jesus Christ, you must first become Holy - a Son of God -- through continuous submission and obedience to His teachings and commandments, the Truth of God. It is only after you have become a worthy vessel that the Spirit of Truth who also is called the second Helper then comes and sets you free from slavery to sin -- John 8 vs 31 - 36 and you are then able to be led by Him - John 14 vs 15 - 27. Should I deny what Jesus Christ Himself taught just so you can be happier with my lot or something? undecided

4. God Himself opened His mouth to explain faith to you in Genesis 26 vs 6 when He explained what led to Abraham--- the one you all refer to as the father of the faith ---in fact did to be made righteous by Him, God. Abraham lived his life in continuous submission and obedience of God's commandments and statutes; that is what God said. And Abraham did not have the Holy Spirit before he was justified/made righteous by God. Same as Job, and many of the other old Covenant righteous men. undecided

Jesus Christ will definitely find Faith on earth when He returns, why? Because not all are faithless - living in disobedience of His teachings and commandments while pretending to be of Him -- on earth. undecided

P.s. Notice how what God said Abraham did happens to be exactly what Jesus Christ commands in His God of all those who love Him? undecided
You think Abraham was not helped by God? Do you know the encounters he had? How did he fear and obey God without ever knowing the spirit of God? There are so many monks that are Holy, but doesn't mean they are holy by the standards of God and his emphasis.

Faith in Abraham's generation was obedience to the emphasis of God. And it was
counted as righteousness.

In Moses's time it was obedience to the law


What is the emphasis of God now in our time?

The FIVE (5) main functions/aim of grace

1. FORGIVENESS AND REDEMPTION

2. SALVATION
Ephesians 2:8-9 KJV
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
[9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.

3. DOCTRINE
Titus 2:11 KJV
For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men,
Titus 2:12
12. Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world; m

4. DIVINE ABILITY TO BECOME AND to LABOUR/WORK WITH AND FOR GOD (power) (KINGDOM INVOLVEMENT)
This is the final aim of grace

1 Corinthians 15:10 KJV
But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.

Galatians 2:21 KJv
I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.


5. GRACE UNTO GOOD WORKS

Ephesians 2:8-10 KJV
8. For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:

[9] Not of works, lest any man should boast.

[10] ]For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto GOOD WORKS, which God hath before ordained j that we should walk in them.

There are 5 functions of grace noted by scriptures. SALVATION is the least .

The plan of God has always been man's participation in the kingdom . " I'll create man and he will be my mirror image on the earth " . But man failed in that assignment and could not do the works of God until Christ(Grace) came.

man fell short of God's standard and chose Knowledge(death) instead of life(Christ) . Yes Christ has always had pre-eminence even in the garden he was there symbolising life .


I see many people preaching the doctrine of Devils by negating the gospel of Grace , thereby indirectly denying the cross and the death of Jesus. Of what justification is the death of Jesus if grace is not worker of our salvation?

It is a procession from Grace unto good works. And not the other way around. It's what apostle Paul boasted of in 1corinth 15:10 .Gal 2:20.. he was always giving glory to Christ .

It was Christ doing the labour through him and not of his own righteousness.

Man has a spirit, a soul(Mind ,Emotion , will) and body.
The grace of Jesus is spirit substance which saved the spirit and not the Soul .

The spirit is reborn but the soul isn't reborn but can be transformed by the renewing of the mind (Romans 12:1) . This is only possible by having the mind of Christ. for which knoweth the mind of God save the spirit of God ?

our spirit becomes one with the spirit of God as we accept Christ. It's the work of grace to train the soul to yield to the law of life and to flee from the law of sin and death.
(Titus 2:10-11) the grace of God that bringeth salvation... teaches us that we should deny ungodly lust and we should live soberly.

Because man has fallen, he's limited to just knowledge. Now God has to teach him organically how to yield to life. So what is eternal life? That ye may know the one true God and his son Jesus. God became a knowledge.

The first man didn't need to be taught about God, he received the spirit by inspiration and so he knew all things til he chose to be limited by Knowledge. Now, he has to see , hear to know and understand. How can one be saved except he's being led by a preacher?
