Lalasticlala Happy Sunday!

Thank you JESUS YAHSHA HaMashiach.

HalleluYAH!!!

When your life pleases God and HE still have assignment that HE wants you to deliver to Humanity, nobody can kill you. They must have tried to use sword and other means to kill John before throwing him into massive boiling oil with determination to fry him to death. Out of frustration when that didn't work too, they banished him into the lonely Island of Patmos in the year 93 AD, hoping that he would be devoured by wild animals.
The powerful Book of Revelation addresses seven letters to seven churches in Asia Minor (modern-day Turkey) (Revelation 2-3). Each letter, as proclaimed by Jesus and recorded by John the Apostle at the Patmos, declares the triumphs and failings of the recipient churches and warns each congregation to repent. The advice in these letters is prophetic, forewarning present-day Christian communities of the snares that can lure us away from our faith.

The advice in these letters is prophetic, forewarning present-day Christian communities of the snares that can lure us away from our faith.

Who Wrote Revelation?
Christian scholars from the second century to date have attributed the physical writing of Revelation to John the Apostle, son of Zebedee (Mark 3:17) and author of the Gospel and Epistles of John. Although John literally wrote Revelation, the Book makes it clear that the source of the revelations is Jesus (Revelation 1:1-2).
In the first century A.D., the Apostle John was exiled to the island of Patmos, a Roman penal colony near Asia Minor. John’s “crime” was practicing Christianity. While in Patmos, John was seized by the Holy Spirit and received prophetic visions from Christ instructing him to: “Write on a scroll what you see and send it to the seven churches: to Ephesus, Smyrna, Pergamum, Thyatira, Sardis, Philadelphia, and Laodicea” (Revelations 1:1-2; 9-11).

Why Were These Seven Churches Chosen to Receive the Apocalyptic Message?
Revelation’s seven churches were among a number of early Christian communities in Asia Minor. These particular seven churches may have been chosen to receive Christ’s apocalyptic message because, geographically, the churches were located along an established, circular trade route that brought together the most populous and influential parts of the province. Once the apocalyptic message was given to the churches in these prominent cities, the message would spread to the Christian communities in the rest of the province.
Although the seven letters in Revelation are tailored to the named churches, these churches and their stated deficiencies can symbolize all churches in one respect or another. The instruction given to Revelation’s congregations, therefore, is valuable to Christian congregations today.

Where Were the Seven Churches and What Do They Symbolize?
1. Church of Ephesus
The Church that Has Abandoned Its Love for Christ and His Teachings (Revelation 2:1-7)
Ephesus was the prominent commercial and cultural center of Asia. Christ’s letter to the Ephesian church praises the congregation for its “deeds...hard work...and perseverance,” and for its rejection of false apostles (Revelation 2:2-3).
Despite its hard work and doctrinal integrity, Christ faults the community for having “forsaken the love [they] had at first” (Revelation 2:4). This “forsaken love” can mean that the Ephesians had become less devoted to Christ or that the work they did was no longer motivated by love for one another. The letter to the Ephesian church does offer the community hope if they repent and rekindle their love for Christian living (Revelation 2:5-7).
Significance Today
The lesson in the letter to Ephesus teaches that truth and love must go hand-in-hand. A church that upholds doctrinal purity at the expense of showing love is just as flawed as a church that upholds congregational harmony at the expense of truthful teachings. Instead, Jesus reveals that a church fashioned in His image must teach God’s Truth in love.

2. Church of Smyrna
The Church that Remains Faithful Amidst Persecution (Revelation 2:8-11)
Smyrna was home to a large Jewish community hostile to Christians. The Bible notes that slanderous accusations by Jews against Christians had led to Christian persecution by Roman authorities (Acts 14:2, 19: Acts 17:13).
Christ’s revelation to Smyrna commends the community for its material poverty but spiritual wealth and acknowledges its wrongful persecution (Revelation 2:9). Christ does not reprimand this church but warns of impending imprisonment for some of its members, urging them to remain faithful “even to the point of death” and remember the promise of their “victor’s crown” (Revelation 2:10).
Significance Today
Like the church in Smyrna, Christians are persecuted worldwide in obvious and insidious ways. This letter warns all Christians that although we may suffer greatly, the length of tribulation will be short compared to the promise of eternal life.
3. Church of Pergamum
The Church that Compromises Its Beliefs (Revelation 2:12-17)
The city of Pergamum was renowned for its pagan practices. The letter to the church there lauds the congregation for upholding its faith despite the city’s pervasive pagan influences (Revelation 2:13). The letter then addresses the church’s sin by denouncing some of its members for following false teachings that brought about religious and moral compromise (Revelation 2:14-15).
The Lord calls on the community to repent or risk the judgment that will emanate from the “sword of [His] mouth” (Revelation 2:16). Those who repent will be given the “hidden manna” that is the grain of Heaven (Psalm 78:24), and a “white stone” or clean slate with a new identity in Christ (Revelation 2:17).
Significance Today
Like the Christians in Pergamum, it’s easy to normalize the non-Christian behavior of those around us and allow that behavior to dilute our values (1 Corinthians 15:33). But the Bible urges us to “not conform to the pattern of this world” but be transformed by the renewal of our mind in accordance with God’s Word (Romans 12:2).
4. Church of Thyatira
The Church that Follows False Prophets (Revelation 2:18-29)
Thyatira was a wealthy commercial city. Jesus’ letter to Thyatira praises the church for having grown in faith and service (Revelation 2:19). The church’s downfall was its devotion to a false prophet that led some members to commit idolatry and immorality (Revelation 2:20). Although the false prophet remained unrepentant, Jesus affirms that the congregation can still repent by turning away from the prophet’s ways (Revelation 2:21-22).
The Lord reminds us in this revelation that He will repay each of us according to our deeds (Revelation 2:23). The payment for sin is death. Those who persevere in faith, however, will receive a share of Christ’s messianic authority over all nations and triumph over death (Revelation 2:26-28).
Significance Today
Just as some in Thyatira’s church were led astray by a false prophet, Christians today fall prey to cult leaders, occult practices, and other false teachings. To share in Christ’s victory, we are to avoid these “so-called deep secrets” of Satan (Revelation 2:24) and hold firm to Christ’s teachings.
5. Church of Sardis
The Church that is Spiritually Dead (Revelation 3:1-6)
Sardis was a city that had endured two surprise attacks despite its fortifications. Our Lord faults the church in Sardis for maintaining an outward appearance of being “alive,” while actually being spiritually dead (Revelation 3:1). Alluding to the city’s history of prior surprise attacks, Jesus warns the congregation to “wake up” and repent, lest he “come like a thief” to bestow His judgment (Revelation 3:2-3).
Those in Sardis who heed Christ’s warning will be “dressed in white,” a symbol of purity and victory, and will be acknowledged in Heaven’s Book of Life (Revelation 3:5).
Significance Today
Today, Christians can fall into the trap that ensnared the church in Sardis if we merely go through the motions of practicing our faith without really feeding our spirit. We can avoid becoming “the living dead” by engaging in our faith through Bible study, prayer, and fellowship.
6. Church of Philadelphia
The Church that Patiently Endured Despite Weaknesses (Revelation 3:7-13)
Philadelphia was home to a synagogue community hostile to Christians. Christ praises the Philadelphians for remaining faithful in the face of trials despite their limited strength (Rev. 3:8 ).
Jesus does not reproach this congregation but condemns its persecutors. (Revelation 3:9). Christ promises that if Philadelphia’s congregants remain faithful to Him, He will protect them from the “hour of trial” and make them pillars in God’s heavenly temple (Revelation 3:10-12).
Significance Today
The message to Philadelphia shows us the blessings that come when we maintain our faith despite life’s tribulations. In fact, those who persevere despite weaknesses will stand strong as pillars in Heaven.
7. Church of Laodicea
The Church with a Lukewarm Faith (Revelation 3:14-22)
Laodicea was a prosperous industrial and commercial center. Jesus’ letter to this church wastes no time denouncing the congregation for its lukewarm faith, threatening to “spit” the congregation out of His mouth (Revelation 3:16).
Christ scolds this church for allowing its economic prosperity to cause it spiritual bankruptcy and reveals that, despite its economic wealth, only He can provide spiritual wealth (Revelation 3:17-18). Those in Laodicea’s church who open the door to Christ will share in His Heavenly banquet and have the right to sit with Him on His throne (Revelation 3:20-21).
Significance Today
Like the church in Laodicea, it’s easy to become complacent in our faith during times of abundance. Christ warns us in this revelation that he will “spit out” lukewarm disciples. Instead, Jesus urges us to keep seeking the Lord’s face even after His hand has bestowed riches in our lives.

OtemAtum:
Actually there were no 'miracles' performed in the olden days, it's just lies same way we are hearing it these days. In the next 1000 years, some foolish religious ones will be thinking that Kumuyi, TB Joshua, Adeboye, Oyedepo etc. of these days(which would have become olden days) performed miracles not knowing that they were all bunch of scammers. That's how it goes.

Common Era 21: 10- 12
10. I have found hundreds of miracles in the scrolls and scripts of Christianity, but I have not found the family members or descendants of those whom these acclaimed miracles happened to, despite going round Rome, Jerusalem, Alexandria, Athens, Damascus and other places where the miracles were claimed to have occured.
11. Therefore I make my guess that likewise shall millions of miracles be claimed to have happened through the Christianity of the future, but none of these miracles shall happen to the people you know very well.
12. You will hear the blind having restoration of their sights, the lame walking, the deaf hearing, the dumb speaking, the dead raised back to life and all such like this, but you will be amazed that right from your childhood to your old age, none of these acclaimed miracles shall have happened to the lame man next door, the blind man near your garden, the deaf man following you to the temple, the dumb man begging you for alms and the dead man whom you have prayed to raise from the dead in the name of this Iesus Kristus.

You and I know who you are. You are pretending to be an atheist where as you an intentional agent of the fallen one, here to deceive innocent Souls into eternal destruction.
I intentionally posted both short videos of YAHWEH's real Miracles and and satan's real magics in the following other thread. Let's see your argument after watching the black magic at work. If satan's worshippers perform real magics there, why won't the Children of the SOURCE of all Life be able to raise the medically confirmed dead that JESUS YAHSHA HaMashiach used this Pastor to raise: Watch both: https://www.nairaland.com/5225364/hope-see-real-miracles-here

****Final part****
"Physics is closely wrapped up in ontology and epistemology, because the social practices within physics determine which theories and experiments are true."
1. Ontology, the study of what exists.
2. Epistemology: the study of how we know what we know.
(Epistemology is sometimes considered separately though.)
Physics is typically a source of ontology, and closely wrapped up with epistemology.

By the time Quantum mechanics is fully developed, man will be able to teleport from Nigeria and physically appear in America. Lower scientists are still in denial of the fact that these things are very spiritual and metaphysical because they only inherited definitions and proofs from their supervisors, famous scientists and philosophers who got the knowledge through metaphysics. As for we the Heaven-bound Christians, we know Romans 8:28 that "ALL things work together for our good." as long as we don't bow and worship them or any other thing/being other than YAHWEH the CREATOR of All.

In conclusion, words are sound waves. Physics' wave duality and the cathode ray tube experiment have proved to us that words (waves) can become real solid things that we can see and touch/hold. Metaphysics has shown that Prayers are words sent out to a higher Power(Universe Force; behind which Satan hides) to guarantee its transformation into tangible, holdable things. JESUS of Christianity has proved to us that Prayers (Words) sent to the ALMIGHTY CREATOR of the Universal Force, guarantee the Words' permanent transformation into purposefully tangible, holdable things. So, you can achieve unprecedented greatness by any of these 2 means. Incantation is prayer too. You can either connect to the created or connect with the SOURCE of all lives and live forever.

Duality of Man, the choice is in your hand to either submit to the created because of trials/obstacles of in this short Life or resist the devil and submit to your CREATOR's Will and Purpose for you. By virtue of this immutable truth, Christians are the most powerful people on Earth but unfortunately, devil has used the world system to dumb them down to this reality. The very first experience of my words transforming into tangible/holdable was when I ordered a tree that has been dead for long and already decaying, back to Life. Now I and others pluck from this tree when we pass by. Everyone one that sees the tree today wonder how manage.
Prayer is spiritual and every currently great person is a direct or indirect prayer worrior, either praying to Satan that grants transient results which ends here, or praying to YAHWEH the Great CREATOR of All who grants results that last permanently forever and still rewards you with Eternal Life. Selah!

Albert Einstein's mass-energy equivalence formula, E = mc2, laid down the foundation for modern quantum mechanics.
In Quantum Mechanics ν=c/λ , or ν=E/h or E=hc/λ
νcλ or νEh or Ehcλ,
where ν is the frequency, λ is the wavelength, E is photon energy, c is the speed of light, and h is the Planck constant.
In Quantum Mechanics, E=MC = (h/λ) c
The wavelength of an electron is given by the de Broglie equation λ=h/p λhp. Here h is Planck’s constant and
p the relativistic momentum of the electron. λ is called the de Broglie wavelength.

De Broglie Wavelength
De Broglie derived his equation using well established theories through the following series of substitutions:
1. De Broglie first used Einstein's famous equation relating matter and energy:
[ E = mc^2 \]
E= energy, m = mass, c = speed of light
2. Using Planck's theory which states every quantum of a wave has a discrete amount of energy given by Planck's equation:
[ E= h \nu\]
E = energy, h = Plank's constant(6.62607 x 10-34 J s), υ = frequency
3. Since de Broglie believes particles and wave have the same traits, the two energies would be the same:
[ mc^2 = h\nu\]
4. Because real particles do not travel at the speed of light, De Broglie subsituted v, velocity, for c, the speed of light.
[ mv^2 = h\nu \]
5. Through the equation \(\lambda\), de Broglie substituted \( v/\lambda\) for \(\nu\) and arrived at the final expression that relates wavelength and particle with speed.
[ mv^2 = \dfrac{hv}{\lambda} \]
Hence:
[ \lambda = \dfrac{hv}{mv^2} = \dfrac{h}{mv} \]

To start with, I want to thank ALMIGHTY YAHWEH that granted me the Grace not to miss HIS Puepose for creating me. I also want to advise everybody here to truly live a free life, you can never be free outside the Purpose for which you were created no matter how wealthy you seem to become. My heart desire when I wrote JAMB was to study Petroleum Engineering and become very rich. When it became apparent that I was likely to be admitted for Physic instead of Pet Eng, one of my good friends volouteered to take me to a white garment Baba who will help me do spiritual things to ensure I was given Pet Eng. I knew it meant that I would be tele-guided for the rest of my Life by Powers that didn't create, so I turned down the offer and accepted my Physics Course. To the glory of the Living God, my University Physics knowledge like the Kepler's Law of Planetary Motion, 1st 2nd 3rd Laws of Motion, Duality of Wave, Radiometric Effect, etc., that have helped me to understand spirituality deeply and mature as a Spirit Being, would have been missed. Gethsemane, when one's personal "beautify" will is laid down for God's "ugly" Will is where the Journey of every true Christian began. Until you, in grief accept and say "Thy Will be done" even when it clashes with yours, you've not began at all. Wealth is not everything, seek personal relationship between you and your CREATOR to gain eternal things that money can never buy.

People are lured away from their CREATOR with the promise that they'll be freed. It always turns out that this freedom outside God is always false and eternal bondage. Immediately they swallow the saianic bait of being freed from their CREATOR, they enter into satanic bondage and end up as anti-life, anti-love, anti-God, homosexuals, conscious or unconscious witch/wizards, etc. who are now being used to destroy other humans and prevent them too from entering into the reward of eternal Life that awaits every human that didn't bow to the trials of this short life. Every car comes with a manual that only the manufactural understands most, so should every man listen to our CREATOR alone for guide on fulfilling the glorious Purpose for which HE created us. Because man was never created to be independent of his Creator, those that don't want to live by the guide HIM becomes automatically enslaved by Satan.

Researchers are currently seeking robust methods of directly manipulating quantum states. Efforts are being made to more fully develop quantum cryptography, which will theoretically allow guaranteed secure transmission of information. A more distant goal is the development of quantum computers, which are expected to perform certain computational tasks exponentially faster than classical computers. Another topic of active research is Quantum Teleportation, which deals with techniques to transmit quantum information over arbitrary distances.
From a classical physics point of view, particles and waves are distinct concepts. They are mutually exclusive, in the sense that a particle doesn’t exhibit wave-like properties and vice versa. Intuitively, a baseball doesn’t disappear via destructive interference, and our voice cannot be localized in space. Why then is it that physicists BELIEVE in wave-particle duality? It is because they've repeatedly experienced that that’s how mother Nature operates, as they have learned from several ground-breaking experiments.

Here is a short, chronological list of those experiments:
1. Young’s double-slit experiment: In the early Nineteenth century, the double-slit experiments by Young and Fresnel provided evidence that light is a wave. In 1861, James Clerk Maxwell explained light as the propagation of electromagnetic waves according to the Maxwell’s equations.

2. In 1897 Thomson Crookes throughCathode Ray Experiment concluded at the time that cathode rays had momentum, so the rays were likely matter particles. However, later it was concluded that the paddle wheel turned not due to the momentum of the particles (or electrons) hitting the paddle wheel but due to the radiometric effect of repulsive force between two surfaces maintained at different temperatures (T1 > T2) and located in a vessel containing a rarefied gas. Which still proves, even more strongly that unseen (the force) affects the seen.

3. Black body radiation: In 1901, to explain the observed spectrum of light emitted by a glowing object, Max Planck assumed that the energy of the radiation in the cavity was quantized, contradicting the established belief that electromagnetic radiation is a wave.

4. Photoelectric effect: Classical wave theory of light also fails to explain photoelectric effect. In 1905, Albert Einstein explained the photoelectric effects by postulating the existence of photons, quanta of light energy with particulate qualities.

5. De Broglie’s wave (matter wave): In 1924, Louis-Victor de Broglie formulated the de Broglie hypothesis, claiming that all matter, not just light, has a wave-like nature. His hypothesis was soon confirmed with the observation that electrons (matter) also displays diffraction patterns, which is intuitively a wave property.
From these historic achievements, physicists now accept that all entities in nature behave as both a particle and a wave, depending on the specifics of the phenomena under consideration. ***To be continued***

HalleluYAH! JESUS YAHSHA HaMashiach Reigns forever more. Let's focus our energy on winning Satanists, Muslims, Wiccas, unto JESUS instead of causing more senseless divisions among Christians. Matthew 22:44 "The LORD (YAHWEH) said unto my Lord (Jesus), Sit at My Right" YAHWEH the Creator of all shares HIS Throne with no One but JESUS because He obeyed HIM like no other being, what we should learn from this is to be strive to love our CREATOR above all and to love our neighbour as ourself. "By strength shall no one prevail" satan coveted worship, he undeservedly wanted to be worshiped like YAHWEH. Jesus loves, submit and just want to make YAHWEH happy always because He know that "The Joy of the LORD is his Strength". YAHWEH also use this to show satan (that wanted to forcefully hijack HIS Throne) and all other beings that there is nothing HE can not share with anyone that obeys HIM irreversibly. To give a glimpse of what happed in Heaven, read the Bible verse quoted below. JESUS YAHSHA HaMashiach paid a Price that non else in Heaven and Earth could pay, not just for Humanity, but for the whole Creation. HE deserve being worshiped, even the Angel are wowed by the extent of HIS Loyalty to YAHWEH ALMIGHTY. JESUS is the Definition of Loyalty. The Angels worship HIM, how much more man. Those days as a sinner, I was very afraid to read the Book of Revelations, I avoided opening it. Let me give you a clue, demons hate when you most audibly verbalize the Scriptures out loud, especially the Book of Psalms and Revelations(the most Powerful, for it reminds of them their eternal damnation and make them to flee). The greatest weapon in the Universe is the Word of GOD.

Read; REVELATIONS 5:1-14 Then I saw in the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne a scroll written on the front and back and sealed with seven seals. 5:2 And I saw a powerful angel proclaiming in a loud voice: “Who is worthy to open the scroll and to break its seals?” 5:3 BUT NO One in heaven or on earth or under the earth was able to open the scroll or look into it. 5:4 So I began weeping bitterly because no one was found who was worthy to open the scroll or to look into it. Then one of the elders said to me, “Stop weeping! Look, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, has conquered; thus he can open the scroll and its seven seals.” [/b]5:6 Then I saw standing in the middle of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, a Lamb that appeared to have been killed. He had seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God sent out into all the earth 5:7 Then he came and took the scroll from the right hand of the one who was seated on the throne, 5:8 and when he had taken the scroll, [b]the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders threw themselves to the ground before the Lamb(Highest Authorities in Heaven worshiped HIM). Each of them had a harp and golden bowls full of incense (which are the prayers of the saints). 5:9 They were singing a new song: “You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals because you were killed, and at the cost of your own blood you have purchased for God persons from every tribe, language, people, and nation. 5:10 You have appointed them as a kingdom and priests to serve our God, and they will reign on the earth.” 5:11 Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels in a circle around the throne, as well as the living creatures and the elders. Their number was ten thousand times ten thousand – thousands times thousands – 5:12 all of whom were singing in a loud voice: “Worthy is the lamb who was killed to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and praise!”5:13 Then I heard every creature – in heaven, on earth, under the earth, in the sea, and all that is in them – singing: “To the one seated on the throne and to the Lamb be praise, honor, glory, and ruling power forever and ever!”5:14 And the four living creatures were saying “Amen,” and the elders threw themselves to the ground and worshiped.

HalleluYAH!!!

Good Humanity.

MuttleyLaff:
I enjoyed EternalBeing second post so much and that is why I endorsed it with a like tag. He/she started well, with the first half of his/her first post, and it was a good read until when he/she got carried away and began spoiling it with old wives' tales from the second half part end of the post

OK Paxonel, you just like Ranchhoddas or ThothHermes, dont know what you both are talking about when it comes to miracles

Miracles have never ceased Paxonel, the days of miracles are not and never over. Miracles, are in the news, happening everyday.

A miracle is an event not explicable by natural or scientific laws, and I have on other threads, tried letting Ranchhoddas or ThothHermes know about this, that miracles are rules and/or the laws of heaven, and that it is when a miracle is constantly repeated on earth, that it turns into a process of nature, as in, it becomes something natural, and then seen, as a norm or something normal. Case in point, The Thames Tunnel, from Wapping to Rotherhithe, not to be mistaken or confused with the Rotherhithe Tunnel, was the first underwater tunnel, it is a first tunnel ever constructed under a river anywhere in the world. This oldest underwater tunnel was no easy walk or stroll in the park, feat. It made the list of the seven wonders of the world back then. It was a miracle to start with then, but of course, soon became a norm or normal thing since after it, to easily have tunnels under rivers. So, with The Thames Tunnel, as a case study, we see that, a lot of things start out as miracles, before brought to being normal or turn to become standard conditions

We live in a fallen and imperfect world, a world plagued with infirmities, affliction(s), hardship(s), variety of afflictions, adversities, unnecessary sufferings etcetera, so because of all that, we need miracles, in addition to love. We not so much or necessarily need demanding signs and wonder, but we need a break with the miracles. The age of miracles has not past. Sometimes miracles are just good people with kind hearts.

I can give OP EternalBeing and Paxonel, an inexhaustive URL list of miracles happening everyday, if and when asked to do.

Does OP EternalBeing, remember, Paul, in 1 Corinthians 12:29, asking:
"Do all work miracles? Do all have gifts of healing? Do all speak in tongues? Do all interpret? hmm? Guess what EternalBeing, the answer on each account is No, no, no and no, as it is very clear, we dont all have the power to do miracles. We each and all cant even be doctors, for example and to start with.

Moving along EternalBeing, then at 1 Corinthians 12:31, Paul says:
"though we covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way."
and it was after that comment in 1 Corinthians 12:31, that Paul introduced and brought in 1 Corinthians 13:1 emphasising love.

Paul in 1 Corinthians 12:29 onwards, confirmed that not "all fingers are equal" and 1 Corinthians 12:29's "not all perform miracles, do they?" is a strong indication, that, everyone to work miracles, is not a requirement for all believers. EternalBeing, to be honest with you, if you have love, you wouldnt neccesarily need the the power to work or do miracles and that is because love surpasses and conquers all, just as Paxonel advanced. Where there is great love, there are always miracles and miracles are the fruits of faith.

I understand you and, of cause, I agree with what you said. Love, true Love is all we need. I will also add that you can not truly love and live in sin. No matter the deceitful Ness of the heart, it is NOT possible for a guy to truly love a girl and be sleeping with her when she's not his wife. Because he would not only think that such would destroy the girl's life but would also know that it is an adultery against her future husband. Because the girl could get pregnant and lose her womb through abortion, the girl may never be able to stay faithful to her future husband who may not satisfy her like him, etc.

I'm creating these threads so that we Christians can all rub minds together, learn from one another, help one another grow to maximize our lives for our LORD while we await HIS 2nd coming. The Bible says "Iron sharpeneth Iron"

Finally, I will like to remind you that most Christians, especially those living focused holy life, are already endowed with Power to do Signs and Wonders but they don't realize it or they are doubting. Taking the case of disciples of Jesus for example. They never knew they could do miracles until they took the bold step to try to. "Faith without work is dead" They came back to Jesus so surprised and elated that they were able to do Miracles as JESUS has been doing.
Luke 1:17. They said, “Lord, even demons obey us when we use the power and authority of your name!”
That one thing I love so much about Pastor Joshua Selman. I've never met him in person. After the Bible Course training in his Ministry, fasting, prayers, etc. He then sends the youths to Hospitals to lay hand and heal the sick, market places to pray for mad people and deliver them from demons of madness, he even ecourages them that if they see people carrying new dead body, they should stop them to raise the dead up. Amazingly, crazy testimonies often follow their outings. We live in crazy times and only those with crazy Faith would dominate the coming generation. That man is raising fierce end Time Soldiers of Christ. You shall soon see his progenitor shake the World with massive Miracles. That man understands that "A Success without a Successor is a successful Failure"

Like you rightly said, miracles may not really matter to we that are, by HIS Grace, established in HIM. But as for those still out there in the world, the LORD JESUS Himself said in John 4:48 that without Signs and Wonders, they won't believe. So, let's Pray the more that HE empowers us to do Miracles. If HE then delegated us for other services that does not require that, so be it.

The fact is that we have neglected Jesus and his true preachings. The sound unadulterated word of God has been systematically ebbed away from Churches. For the over 5 years or so I have been attending Church and listening to many sermons online, I have not come across sermons on GIFT OF THE SPIRIT and demonstration of the power of God. Pastors are not concerned about that. Even in Churches these days, deliverance, healing service is hardly done in churches, even if they were, it is always packaged in a jetissoned, watered down way as Thanksgiving and anointing service with much of songs and spiritual gymnasticms and noise.

Hardly would you see Men of God praying for more than 30 minutes in their closet. Fasting is now a once in a year thing for Men of God. These guys are more interested in money and acted miracles than real power from God to perform signs and wonders. They are more after big Jeeps, Private Jets, expensive and expansive church cathedrals, competition of who is the Pastor with largest congregation and so on.

We are a generation who no longer crave for powerful and divine presence of God. There is no way God will be in the midst of his people and miracles, signs, wonders and many unbelievable events will not happen to the amazement of the people. Sinners will be self convicted, worshipers will fall powerfully under annointnng, yokes will be broken, agents of darkness will be exposed and machinations of devil will be destroyed. Amazing happenings will be performed. These wonderful events are no more in the church that the youth of nowadays knows next to nothing about miracles. They don't even know the meaning of FRUITS OF THE SPIRITS. all they know is tithe and offering and praise and first fruits and senseless loyalty to their General Overseers.

Sadly, what you said is the very truth.


But GOD has not given up on us, HE's only being careful because many earlier empowered Christians lost the Power to Satan through sex, who in turn used the Power to further destroy the Church and God's people by giving the stolen Power to those that submit to worship him. The Book of 2 Chronicles 16:9 says HE's eyes are still seriously searching to and fro the whole World for those that would covenant to irreversibly discipline themselves and not be captured through lust. HE vowed to show HIMSELF strong through them and use them to display HIS Ability to Humanity.

Satan does not create anything, he doesn't have the ability to create. So, he only steals. I discovered that whenever a man showed his total submission to the Ownership of GOD through unwavering sacrificial holiness without looking back, HE's always happy to pour HIS Power into such Life.

Thank you JESUS YAHSHA HaMashiach!

I remember something that happened to a bros that I used to know those days in the 1990s. I was very young and not born again then, so I didn't understand the significance till recently. He went to a Prayer Mountain to vigorously pray and fast that God should give him a UK Visa. He was a 300Level student of UniBen, but he wanted to apply for Visa and relocate to UK. On the 7th day after breaking the fasting on the mountain, he was still doubting if God ever heard let alone answered his prayer. He descended from the Mountain and went back home. That very night, it rained very heavily. Around 9:00pm, he heard a knock on his door and went to open. To his amazement, the beautiful girl that he has been toasting since 100Level but refused to say yes let alone date him, was there drenched standing facing him at his door. Still in the rain with her cloth tightly stuck to her breasts and body revealing all her curves, she asked the puzzled-looking guy if he wants her to come in or not. He said "why not?!" Feeling like his luckiest day in Life, he ushered the girl in and quickly made tea for her, gave her one of his shirts to change into, etc. Long story short, the girl slept over and they guy had the most wonderful sex of his life. They continued the relationship till the Semester ended.

The bros applied for the Visa during the vacation and was denied. That in itself, is noting to raise eye brow about. But he received the greatest shock of his life when the resumed for the next Semester. He severally went to check her in her department and at her hostel room but couldn't see her. He was told by her departmental students that they've not seen her at all that semester. He was afraid that maybe she's sick or maybe she died during vacation. Being so much in Love with this girl, he finally got her parents' address and traveled to meet them. He saw her mom and dad and inquire of what has happed to her. The mom smiled and told him to relax his mind, that their daughter got a UK visa during the vacation and relocated to UK. To say this guy was shocked to the marrow would be an euphemism. They were together for months after the first raining night and she never for once told him she want to travel out, while he told her everything about himself. He later dropped out of the University.
Sex is the easiest tool to hijack Virtues. Answered Prayers can be hijacked, Glory can be hijacked. It not worth it, to lose being great in this life and in eternal Life because of 5 minute pleasure. Do yourself the greatest favour; focus on the being holy, safeguard your Destiny.
