Christianity EtcThe Deception... The Real World... The Glaring Difference by lightblazingnow(op):
"He has made every thing beautiful in his time: also he has set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God Almighty makes from the beginning to the end. And again
"I said in my heart concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest them, so that they might see that they themselves are beasts".
Without the offering of Christ Jesus on earth all men are beasts and they value the natural world more which is relatable and visible to their senses. But I tell you the truth, the human world with all the glamour shots and decorations all around are a complete illusion. It's deceptive and total shadows. The original world is in your heart.

Guard your heart with all diligence. For this is where the main life is centered. If you have ever heard a life before wether in earth or in heaven it's all inside your heart​. That's where the issue of life preceed from.
As you learn how to fellowship with the true being with your heart and your tongue you are taken spiritually to the very real world, where everything is certainly and organise. The Natural world for sure was built for natural beings, for beasts. While the invisible world were created for us who before the foundation of the world were ordained to reign in life.

The truth is, there is a real world and the deception. If your heart isn't tuned towards the original you will find yourself enjoying where there is nothing to be happy about. But in the original world everything is clear.

So well and shining....

Christianity EtcThis prayer point Changed the whole community by lightblazingnow(op):
Prayers isn't just worshipping the lord God, praising his name or asking something from God. I know in most prayers session they sing songs to worship and praise the name of God Almighty and afterwards confess their sins and then ​begin to fire Satan from every directions​. Prayers for their needs and give offering of cash as gifts to the almighty.





Then after that they give thanks to the most high God for answering their prayers. In the end they share the grace of our lord Jesus Christ. Prayers concluded. And one of the foundation for doing this is because they have testimonies of God answers. After prayers most of them have dreams and visions something happening and others have miracles after the prayers​.





, if you would understand what is truth. God Almighty is love and he is the complete embodiments​ of love. His goodness is far beyond your imagination. This is the truth​: the laws of God came by Moses, but grace and reality came by Jesus Christ. Don't forget grace and reality was introduced into the world by Jesus Christ. Grace is what so many have dwell in for most part of their lives. They have depended on grace since they accepted​ the gospel of Christ Jesus. Forgetting that reality is also included in the package. That means to know who is God Almighty. The almighty God wants to reveal himself to you. More than just receiving his goodness and mercy, he wants you to know him. The scriptures commanded ​you to grow in grace and in the knowledge of Christ Jesus, and the father God Almighty.




The same thing Christ Jesus said that no one knows the father God Almighty but the son who lives in the bossom of God only and he CHRIST JESUS reveals him to who he wills. When you ask, you shall receive, when you seek, you shall find. And when you knock the door of revelations, it shall be open to you. For if you being evil, that means mortal men know how to give good gifts to your children, you know how to send them to the best school to acquire the best degree. What do you make of the most intelligent and the all in all God Almighty.


These words spoke Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify your Son, that your Son also may glorify thee: As you had given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as you had given him.




this is life eternal, that they might know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.

Let me not get too far from the topic, before you pray to God Almighty always remember you are in his presence right there you are. Stop looking at your natural environment. This is why you can't transform because your eyes of understanding has not been enlightened, your mind isn't renewed. There is no way you could reach that mark. People must be taught the truth so that they can achieve what God wants for them and not jamborees and ​noise makers.


reason the gospel of Christ Jesus is preached to you while on earth is so you can experience eternal Life here on earth. Not when you get to heaven. Many have refused to accept this and the others are ignorant of it and so they have continued praying as usual without the experience.

If you want to know in truth that you are not alone and that you belong to the heavenly places pray like I am sharing with you. Close your eyes and thank the lord God Almighty for qualifying you to be in his arms right now, he is holding you up rejoicing with his neighbours. Shouting for joy and excitement. As you say these words in your prayers you will begin​ to experience a bit of heaven inside you. The thought of value will possess your mind and soul and you will be in glory and amazement of where you are.


It's more of an experience than what words can say. Think and say something different as you lift up your holy hands in prayers to the God Almighty of love.

How To Raise Your Kids Without Yelling Or Punishing



by Leony Vandebelt

Sometimes, we want to scream at our kids. Usually this impulse comes out of frustration or another acute emotion in the moment of a temper tantrum or outburst. But most us also know that yelling and punishing actually can damage our children's self-esteem and their trust in us, ultimately creating unhealthy coping mechanisms and leading to even more bad behavior in the future.

Instead, raising children with compassion and healthy boundaries will help them grow up into self-confident and emotionally healthy adults, and will make your parenting experience much easier in the process.

This article will give you insights and tools to raise children without yelling and punishing. In the first half, I'll offer tips that we can do ourselves as parents to feel more balanced and less triggered into having our own outbursts; the second half includes day-to-day tips for how to help your children themselves feel more grounded and less prone to emotional outbursts.

1. Cultivate self-care rituals and treat yourself with kindness.

The more we take care of ourselves, the more worthy we feel of having our needs met and our boundaries respected. When we feel tired and have no energy, it is much harder to deal with our children's outbursts. Plus: the better we feel about ourselves, the less we feel guilty about making "mistakes" or "not doing things right."

So, in addition to making sure to find self-care rituals such as meditation, yoga, exercising (and/or whatever else works!), talk to yourself as you would talk to a child, not as a harsh critic. Acknowledge your own feelings, how stupid or irrational they might seem to you. If you accept and love them, they will be released instead of staying stuck.

2. Honor your own boundaries.

If our children cross our boundaries too far, or too frequently, it's often because we let them. But we will eventually lose our patience, so remember that. I totally understand: we avoid saying "no" sometimes because we want to avoid a tantrum, or we want to be "the good guy." However, as parents, affirming healthy boundaries is our job. Loving our children doesn't mean that we have to give them what they want all the time. And sticking to your guns will ultimately prevent tantrums in the future.

3. Have age-appropriate expectations.

When we take our children to public places, we simply cannot expect them to behave like adults. A young child won't sit still for an hour in a restaurant like a grown adult.

While it's great to want to go out with our children, we must also remember that they are allowed to have their own experience. So we must commit to trying our best not to feel embarrassed, offended or guilty about their reactions. When we let go of these unrealistic expectations, we give ourselves freedom to have a much more enjoyable experience ourselves.

4. Don't project your fears.

When we worry about our children's misbehavior and fear that they might be aggressive in a given context, our children will pick up on this energy, and will likely stick those labels on themselves. If a child starts to think that he/she is "bad," that often leads to more misbehavior.

5. Heal your own inner child.

Children can trigger unresolved emotions in us, causing us to feel hurt and frustrated, perhaps about our own childhood experiences or current difficulties elsewhere in our lives. Our children can also reflect those unresolved feelings when they pick up on them. So embrace the parts of you that are still hurting. Acknowledge and accept your own feelings from or about your past without judgment and give that child in you all the love and validation it never got, or that it currently needs.

6. Create an anchor.

During a moment in which you feel calm and balanced, choose a physical stimulus like pressing your thumb and middle finger together. Recognize this as an "anchor," holding the position for a minute or so before releasing. You have now made a connection between that anchor and the feeling of calm and balance. Use this anchor by pressing it again when you feel upset or when your child has an outburst to trigger those feelings of calmness and balance to come up again.

7. Release guilt.

Guilt and shame are the lowest vibrational emotions a human can experience. I think of guilt and shame as existing in the emotional place farthest away from love, balance and compassion. Guilt not only keeps us from feeling self-compassion, but often leads to crossing boundaries to "make up" for whatever we think we did wrong. Remember that parenting is a process. At every moment, you're doing the best you can and are always learning and improving.

8. Make sure to spend quality time together.

Attention is a basic need for children to survive. When our children have emotional outbursts, it's often a sign of their desire to show us they are trying to define themselves, develop their individuality — and get attention.

Many times an emotional outburst is actually a reflection of a child experiencing more freedom than he/she can handle. They want to feel safe by our loving guidance in the form of healthy boundaries. The most beautiful way to give this to our children is in special, quality moments when we are not distracted and 100% present. Children don't need us to be physically present all the time. But quality time is invaluable for our children. Feeling consistently loved and cared for will diminish their need to act out.

9. Allow time for free and uninterrupted exploration.

When our children's needs for safety and attention are met, they will also undoubtedly express a desire to get out and explore the world. Exploration helps them observe new things in their surroundings, get to know their bodies and stay connected to their innate curiosity. Self-guided exploration will improve their attention span and let them express creativity and joy.

The amount of physical space we let our children play in, the amount of time and the physical distance from us depends on our child's age and needs and grows over the years. During these moments of free play, we can stay present with our children. But make sure not to interrupt them. Just observe and enjoy witnessing their growth.

10. Make your child feel understood.

No matter how "childish" our child's desire or emotion might seem to us in a given moment, it's perfectly valid for him or her to feel this way, no matter what it is, really. We don't have to comply with their "demands," but we can still acknowledge what they're feeling: "I see you're very upset, you really liked coloring your face and you're angry that I took your pencils away," or, "I understand you like to only eat chocolate all day. I'd love that too. But now it's time for some veggies to keep our bodies healthy." They might still resist, after all they are children, but at least they'll feel seen and understood and usually this helps decrease the intensity of the emotional outburst.

11. Allow time to adjust to a change in activity.

Sudden changes can trigger our children into resistance. Especially with sensitive children, it works really well if we give them time to adjust to a coming change. Take bed time, for example: give your child a few "heads up" notices that bed time is nearing. "You can play for another 10 minutes, and then we're going to bed," is one I use. Repeat that when there's five minutes and one minute left.

12. Respect your child as a whole person.

Our children might live in tiny bodies, just learning how to deal with everything that makes us human while still needing us for their basic survival. But they are also whole persons with very capable and knowing souls that have multiple levels of understanding. So talk respectfully to your child as if you would to an adult: use your normal voice and refer to yourself as "I" instead of "mommy."

13. Honor the integrity of your child's body.

Always tell your child when you're going to pick him/her up or touch him/her. You can start doing this even when they are babies: "I am going to pick you up now. One, two, three, there you go." Children will be less startled if they know what's coming.

When playing with children, honor their "no," if they want to stop. Horse playing or other physical activity is a very good time for your child to learn that when he/she says "stop" (touching me) or "no," the other person respects their choice. Boundaries are important for children, too. This won't guarantee that every person will listen but children with this healthy mindset about their body are much less prone to become a victim of abuse or other inappropriate dynamics.

14. Ask for help.

Don't be ashamed if you feel things are getting too much for you. Ask for help. Tell your partner when you're having a hard time, find a babysitter or parenting counselor, seek support from other parents, learn new ways of parenting that will make it more easy and enjoyable for you. You are never alone. Asking for help is not a sign of weakness: it is a brave thing to do.

Christianity EtcThe thought of heaven fills me and I can't describe the feeling oh by lightblazingnow(op):
Having found out that nothing in this world can satisfy anyone, it's very glaring that we are all hopeless without after life home, come to think that life doesn't go on after the flesh time makes you hopeless, don't agree to it, fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on to eternal life to which you have been called and given.


If life starts and ends in this world then life is meaningless indeed, your inner self know that life goes on forever because your spirit man never die, but lives and exist in the spiritual realm for ever. Each time I remember that there is Heaven and have been shown this holy place many times I laugh and encourage myself and those around me to keep up the good fight of faith and to lay hold on eternal Life to which we have been called to inherit.


There have been questions wether heaven or hell is real, I tell you, the more you keep wasting your precious time with these doubters the less you will realise it, the truth is, the future of doubters have been determined ahead of their coming, so marvel not if the world hated you, it's because they do not know your heavenly father God Almighty. There have been doubters and there will always be doubters until the world is no more. Remember how Psalm describes them;

"Blessed is the man that walks​ not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor stand in the way of sinners, nor sitting in the seat of the scornful"

" But his delight is in the law of the LORD CHRIST of God Almighty; and in his law does he meditate day and night. And he, the meditating man shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that's​ bringing forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not wither; and whatsoever he does shall prosper.

" The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind is driving away. Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

For the LORD God Almighty knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.



If you follow the counsel of the ungodly about heaven and hell you will be confused and left stranded not knowing what to do with your time. But if you can hear the voice of the invisible God Almighty who by CHRIST JESUS his son created the universe, you will be encouraged and match on to inherit your reward.


There is Heaven and the lord God Almighty actually wants you to begin experiencing the taste of it and so he has given us eternal life and filled us with the Spirit of holiness and the fruit of the Spirit. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Aspire to know, ask to be taught and desire to be shown the glory world.


There are no other teachers leading men to experience this mystery, it's only the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of truth. You heard what the scriptures said that the lord God Almighty have given us his Spirit that we might experience his free gift. Many are struggling to be known and famous in this natural world. We labour night and day to get the good news of the glory coming to us to all men so that they can believe and experience the love of the living God Almighty.

There is Heaven and our salvation have gone ahead of us to prepare a place for us and when he is back he will receive us to himself and crown us with glory and honour.

After you have suffered and endured afflictions on earth relax. There is a home prepared for you.

Cast not away therefore your confidence, which has great recompence of reward.

For ye have need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the promise.

For yet a little while, and he that shall come will come, and will not tarry.

Now the just shall live by faith: but if any man draw back, my soul shall have no pleasure in him.

But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul.

Amen
