Spiritual Knowledge-How Supernatural are we talking?!

Spirituality, Internalism & Externalism, – Religious Studies

Justification– a reason that someone holds a rational admissible belief, on the assumption that it is a good reason for holding it. Example- Sources-perceptual experience, senses, reason, testimony. A belief justified does not guarantee the belief is true. A person could justify in forming beliefs based on convincing evidence that was nonetheless deceiving.

Truth– is the property or state of being in accordance with facts or reality. Most view, truth is correspondence of language or thought to a mind-independent, which is a correspondence theory of truth. There are various different ways that describe beliefs, including representations of ways the world could be as dispositions to act as if certain things are true.

Knowledge, familiar awareness, understanding something or someone, including facts, propositional knowledge, skills, procedural knowledge, or objects, acquaintance knowledge. Important distinction between the senses of knowing, knowing the structure of a body of knowledge or justified belief, whether derived from foundational beliefs or a coherent set of beliefs. Skepticism, which questions the possibility of knowledge and any related problems, may pose a threat. ” How do we know that we know?’

Analysis, Perception, Reason, memory, Testimony- potential sources of knowledge & justified belief.

Miracle– a beneficial event maybe attributed to a supernatural being, a deity, miracle worker, saint, religious leader, statistically unlikely but not contrary to the laws of nature, a wonder occurrence, regardless of likelihood.

Magic-Individuals who practice magic refer to themselves as magicians, effecting change in accordance with Divine Will. Unconventional & Dangerous. First century CE, the concept was associated with demons. Throughout the middle ages, early modern period Humanist reinterpreted the terms to natural magic. Both negative & positive. Negative connotations, fraudulent, unconventional. Scholars of religions define or suggest magic and science are opposites.

Demon-Supernatural, often malevolent being prevalent in religion, occultism, literature, fiction, mythology, folklore, ancient, medieval. A demon is a harmful spiritual entity, below heavenly planes, which cause demonic possession. A spiritual entity that may be conjured or controlled, calling for an exorcism.

Heaven– a higher place, holiest, paradise, in contrast to hell or the underworld or the low places. Universally or conditionally accessible by earthly beings according to various standards of divinity, goodness, piety, faith, virtues, right beliefs, or simply the Will of GOD. Any place of existence either of humans, souls, deities, outside the tangible world (Heaven, Hell, or other) is referred to as Otherworld. Heaven a common religious, cosmological, transcendent place where beings such as Gods, Angels, Spirits, Saints, or venerated ancestors are said to originate, be enthroned or live.

Spirit-supernatural being, often, but not exclusively a non-physical entity, such as an angel, ghost or fairy. The concept of a person’s spirit and soul, often also overlap, as both are either contrasted with or given priority over the body. Spirit can also have the sense of a Ghost, A spirit of a deceased person. Or in Biblical Bibles the Spirit with a capital ‘S’ denotes the Holy Spirit. Spirit is often used metaphysically to refer to consciousness or personality.

Angel- Generally supernatural being found in various religions, mythologies, often as benevolent celestial beings who act intermediaries between God or Heaven and Earth. Other roles may include guiding and protecting Human beings, carrying out Gods tasks. Angels may be organized in hierarchies, such rankings may vary between sects in each religion, and are given specific names or titles such as Gabriel or Destroying Angel. Study Angelology.

Deity– male is a god, female a goddess. Deity -equivalent aspects of the same divine principle. Divine or Sacred and may have powers greater than humans. Can interact with humans, positive or negative, in ways that carry human to a new level of consciousness. Beyond ordinary life. Who live, die, and are reborn just like any other being. Masculine and Feminine gender neutral for human beings who gain merit through an ethical life, becoming a guardian deity and live blissfully in heaven but are also subject to death when their merit runs out.

May Peace Be with Us All, always.

Spiritual Strongholds?!

A stronghold is a way of thinking & feeling that has developed a life of its own in a person. It might be a rut of depression or recurring unbelief or habitually bad temper. That was a stronghold in my life, but with God’s help, not any more!
     It might be a repeating pattern of failure:
     Sometimes a stronghold will cause you to provoke others to reject you
         (without necessarily knowing you’re doing it) It might be a stronghold of resentment or worthlessness. If a child is sexually molested and/or badly verbally abused, a stronghold of worthlessness may build up a stockpile of negative thoughts: “I’m guilty. Nobody could really love me. I’m good for nothing. I’m ugly.” She might actually be beautiful — and certainly is beautiful in the eyes of God. But a stronghold gets filled with arguments like these:
        “Nobody would like me if they really got to know me. Nobody really knows me. Nobody really cares for me. Nobody really wants me for me.”
     Now all these thoughts may be a pack of lies,
         but they can be a stronghold keeping out the truth of God’s love.
     Such a person may hear a message about God’s love, whether from a pulpit or a friend, but it goes in one ear and out the other, bouncing off the walls of a stronghold of rejection or worthlessness.


     You almost hear the truth come to set you free, and then comes another thought, “Yeah, but what about…?” Or “You just don’t understand….”
     And out comes another string of lies, excuses, smokescreens, shot down by blocking spirits. Thus a stronghold creates inner captivity to deception and misery.
     A stronghold keeps a person from thinking clearly, accepting the truth,
         repenting of sin, and receiving deliverance.
     A stronghold can keep a unbeliever from hearing the good news.
     A stronghold can keep a believer from hearing the fullness of the good news.

If you want the abundant life and peace that Yeshua promised,
     you must let his Spirit capture the stronghold up there!
     Nor only is our conscious mind the target:
     Proverbs 23:7 says, “For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.”
     In Matt 12:34-35, Yeshua said,For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks. The good man brings good things out of the good stored up in him,
and the evil man brings evil things out of the evil stored up in him.

Strongholds are also storage places, holding food, water and weapons. A stronghold gets stronger as more stuff—more thought—gets stored in there.  In the life of the mind, the stuff that you were once aware of gets stored up in unconscious memory, but it can make a stronghold a tough nut to crack!
   

 So how do you take a stronghold?
     First, you have to see it, so you know what you’re dealing with.
     It’s kind a hard to take a stronghold you can’t even see.
     But strongholds of the mind can be hidden—evil things hang out in darkness.
     Satan is the prince of darkness, but Messiah is the prince of light.
     You have been called out of darkness into his wonderful light!
     Nevertheless, if there is an old, sinful pattern of thought in you,
         that is a place of darkness, a stronghold.
     Ephesians 5:11 urges us to “have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them.”
     If you want to let the light of God expose the darkness, you need an attitude of humility, willing to let the light of God reveal the darkness in you.


     In Ps 26:2, David prayed, “Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind.” Can you agree this request?
     If not, if you are not willing to let God reveal any strongholds in your life,
         then the first stronghold you may have to start tearing down is pride!
     Who was the first to be guilty of pride? Satan! Massively so!
     Pride is the armor of Satan — he uses it to keep demonic strongholds hidden. Pride keeps people from ever seeing that they are trapped in demonic darkness.   The Spirit of God is determined to bring down the stronghold of pride.
    

Isaiah 25:11 says,

God will bring down their pride despite the cleverness of their hands.
He will bring down your high fortified walls and lay them low;
he will bring them down to the ground, to the very dust.

     If pride is bad news, how much more is humility good news!


     James 4:6, “God is opposed to the proud, but gives grace to the humble.”
     This is a promise: humility release grace, the power of God to save you.
     James 4:7 continues with another promise:
     “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
     Satan can’t stand humility! It breaks his power over you!
     But God loves it! “Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.”
     The sacrifice of Messiah is a perfect shelter of grace enabling you to look at your needs.

Once you recognize the stronghold, the next step to bringing it down is repentance. Be honest before God, and humbly let the Spirit expose the stronghold in the darkness.
     Pray, “Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind.”
     When the Holy Spirit shows you an area of darkness, repent.
     You may need to overcome the instinct of defend yourself.
     You may need to silence the little lawyer who steps out of a dark corner of your mind,
         pleading, “My client is not so bad.”
     If you let him, that whiny defense attorney will defend you just fine—
         but you’ll never see what’s wrong in you, nor face what needs to change.
     Who is the best defense attorney of all time? Yeshua!
     How does He defend you, how does He justify you? By his blood.
     So you don’t need to justify yourself. Let him do it.
     A broken and contrite heart he will not despise.


     Suppose a stronghold has gotten pretty entrenched and strong?
     Sometimes a frontal attack on a stronghold doesn’t seem to work. What should you do?


     Jewish soldiers tried to capture the Old City of Jerusalem with a frontal attack
         a couple of times in the War of Independence,
         but as soon as they got up to the gates of the Old City, and were thrown back. Here’s how the IDF took the Old City in 1967:
         They swept around the city to the north, then seized the Mount of Scopus,
         then kept on going up to the Mount of Olives, to the east—
     I’ve seen a picture of Israeli generals looking down at the Old City from the east!   Thus, having surrounded the city, they were able to cut off supplies and reinforcements. Though the Jordanian army tried to send reinforcements up from Jericho,  this time they were thrown back! When the Jordanian general inside the Old City realized he was surrounded,
         he realized, “resistance is futile,” so he cut his losses and fled the city.
     Then the Israelis were able to break into the city with relatively little resistance. So, this is how successful military planners usually do it:
         surround the stronghold and cut off its supplies.

Does this strategy also apply to spiritual strongholds? I think so….
     Something like this strategy was at work in the battle of Jericho.
     Who gave Joshua the strategy for taking the city? The angel of the LORD.


     What was the strategy? March around the city for seven days then blow your trumpets!
     Here’s what I think they were doing, in the Spirit:
     They were surrounding the city, with obedience to God’s word, with faith,
         with the praises of God. Thus they cut off that city from its supplies, from the realm of darkness. As the power of faith grew in the hearts of the marching people, the power of the walls of Jericho grew weak.
     How do you surround a stronghold of negative thinking, bad old speculations? How about praise?
     Psalms 32:7. “You are my hiding place; you will protect me from trouble and surround me with songs of deliverance.”
     Surround the stronghold with the praise, singing psalms and spiritual songs to God. Demons can’t stand praise! Praise is a powerful way to bring a stronghold.

For every negative stronghold, there’s a powerful way to surround it with opposite truth from God.
     If you are struggling with a stronghold of depression, surround it with hope.
     If you are struggling with a stronghold of rejection, surround it with acceptance from Abba.
     If you are struggling with a stronghold of unresolved anger, surround it with forgiveness.
     If you are struggling with a stronghold of fear, surround it with the knowledge of God’s love.
     If you are struggling with a stronghold of failure, surround it with the victory of the resurrection!
     Once you’ve identified a stronghold, go to the Scripture, and study the opposite truth from God.
     If the stronghold is rejection, study all that the Bible says about God’s acceptance.
     Use a concordance or a chain bible or topical bible.
     Then surround that stronghold with the word of God!
     Listen, once the enemy sees he’s surrounded by humble submission, praise,
         and the word of God, his resistance will quickly weaken, and if he isn’t gone already!

Can we take a moment to pray about this?
     “Test me, O LORD, and try me, examine my heart and my mind.”
     Show me any areas in my life that I have not fully surrendered to you.
     (If you recognize any area of chronic sin strengthened by negative thinking,
         take a moment to confess it to the Lord, now.)

     Lord, forgive me of compromise. Give me the courage to pull down every stronghold within me   without reluctance or willful deception in my heart.
     Thank you, Lord Yeshua, for forgiving and cleansing me from all my sins,
         and breaking every curse against me, on the cross.

     By the power of the Holy Spirit and in the Name of Yeshua,
         I bind any satanic influences that were reinforcing compromise and sin within me.
     I submit myself to the light of the Spirit of Truth to expose any strongholds of sin in me. By the mighty weapons of the Spirit and the Word, I proclaim that each evil stronghold is coming down!

     I purpose to surround this evil stronghold with praise and affirming truth from the Word of God.
     I purpose to take every pattern of negative thinking captive and bring it to the obedience to Messiah.
     I purpose, by the grace of God, to follow through until even the ruins of this stronghold
         is removed from my mind!
     I purpose to think about whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—
         I will think about such things.
         I will talk about such things. I will get involved in such things.

     I purpose, by the grace of God, to build up one stronghold within my mind and my heart:
         the stronghold of the living God!   “The name of the LORD is a strong tower; the righteous will run to it and be safe.” In the shelter of your presence, O God my Savior, you will keep me safe. In Yeshua’s mighty name, Amen.

Remove Negative Energy?!

You can use simple prayer to remove negative energy from yourself & home.

The main purpose of prayer is not the punishment itself, but that God removes bad influences and that the holders of evil spirits are far from their followers; such spirits may or may not belong to other people. As it has the function and to exasperate any type of evil, prayer is also used by those who want protection.

I ask the Divine within myself
to remove all the earthbound, demon and other entities,
the dark shields, dark energies, dark devices and dark connections
from my body, aura, soul, and cord,
and also from my home, my workplace, my car, my places of recreation,
and everything in them and miles and miles around them.
I ask the Divine within myself
to locate and bring back my lost soul parts
and cleanse, heal and integrate them with the main body of my soul.
I ask the Divine within myself
to fill me and shield me with brilliant Divine Light,
and to plug all the holes and tunnels in me and my surroundings and my Car, Home & Family.
I visualize vibrant Divine Light
coming from above my head
filling my whole body,
cleansing and healing every part, every cell, and every organ of my body.
I visualize this Divine Light
in every direction
creating Divine Light all around me.
I visualize Divine Light with reflective spiritual mirrors,
with the reflective mirror surface facing outwards.
I visualize this spreading Divine Light all around.
I visualize my home, workplace, car and places of recreation
being cleansed, filled and shielded by brilliant, white, liquid Light.
I ask the Divine within myself
to stay on guard around me and my surroundings
as long as my soul exists.
I pray for protection
of my family members, friends, co-workers and all the people I know
and their surroundings.
I ask the Divine within myself
to cleanse, heal, balance
all my energy. I ask the Divine Light within myself
to cleanse, heal, shield and protect
all my channels of communication with the Divine Light.

May Peace, Love, & Abundance Be with you all the days of your Life.

Prayers For Blockages-Holy Bible

Almighty, Everlasting Father, Lord my God, I speak victory and prosperity in not only my life but my family’s as well. Father GOD, I request Your favor wherever I go. Shower Your blessings upon my humble life. Grant me protection anywhere that I go. Guide me Lord accordingly, be with me, draw near.

2 Corinthians 10:3-4 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not of the flesh, but divinely powerful for the destruction of fortresses.

Father GOD, I pray against every spirit of blockage and barriers. Remove it, Lord! I REMOVE out every evil spirit in my life that attempts to hinder my blessings. Break every chain! All attacks against my family is broken, every attempt to stop our blessings is broken!

Romans 8:15 For you have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear. But you have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Ephesians 2:14 For He Himself is our peace, who made both groups into one and broke down the barrier of the dividing wall,

Pick me up, Lord, whenever and wherever I may fall, continue to hold me in the palm of Your hands. Raise me up, so that I WILL OVERCOME ANY MOUNTAIN and prevail against any blockage, barrier or hindrance in my life.

IN YOUR PRECIOUS HOLY NAME, I DECLARE THAT I AM VICTORIOUS, THROUGH CHRIST JESUS WHO IS MY STRENGTH! AMEN

2 Timothy 1:7 For God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

Jeremiah 5:22 ‘Do you not fear Me?’ declares the LORD ‘Do you not tremble in My presence? For I have placed the sand as a boundary for the sea, An eternal decree, so it cannot cross over it. Though the waves toss, yet they cannot prevail; Though they roar, yet they cannot cross over it. May Peace Be with You!

Do You Want A Lovely Reminder?!

healinglovepic

Love is patient, love is kind and is not jealous; love does not brag and is not arrogant, does not act unbecomingly; it does not seek its own, is not provoked, does not take into account a wrong suffered, does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails…But now faith, hope, love, abide these three; but the greatest of these is love.”

From :1Corinthians 13:1-8, 13

Dear GOD, Thank you that you are a loving, gracious GOD. Thank you that you’ve offered us forgiveness and the gift of new life in you. Thank you that your love is perfect, it never fails, and that nothing can separate us from your love. We pray that our lives would be filled and overflowing with the power of your love so we can make a difference in this world and bring honor to you. We ask for your help in reminding us that the most important things are not what we do outwardly, it’s not based on any talent or gift, but the most significant thing we can do in this life is simply to love you and to choose to love others. Lord thank you that your love is patient. Help us show patience with those around us.

LORD thank you that your love is kind. Help us to extend kindness to others. LORD thank you that true love is not jealous. Help us cast aside feelings of jealousy or hatred towards others. LORD thank you that your love does not brag and is not arrogant. Help us not to live with pride or arrogance, but to choose to walk with humility and grace. LORD thank you that true love does not act unbecomingly. LORD help us to extend kindness instead of rudeness towards others. Help us to lay aside the critical tone and tearing down with our words, so that we can truly walk in peace.

LORD thank you that true love does not seek its own. LORD help us not to live selfishly, looking only to our own interests. LORD thank you that true love is not provoked. LORD help us not to become easily angered. Help us not to be so quickly reactive, but instead slow to speak and slow to become angry. LORD thank you that your love does not take into account a wrong suffered. Lord help us not to hold grudges, but to choose to forgive, even when it’s difficult.

LORD thank you that your love does not rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth. LORD help us to love your words of truth, may we walk in your freedom and wisdom. Let it be what drives our lives and choices every day. LORD thank you that your love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things, thank you that your love never fails. Help us to love as you love. Fill us with your Spirit so that we can choose what is best. We are weak LORD, but we know also, that even when we are weak, you are strong within us. Thank you that it’s not all up to us. Thank you that you equip us to face each day with the power of your love, your forgiveness, and your grace.

We love you LORD, and we need you today, and every day,

In JESUS’ Name, Amen.

Amen.

Our Father who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever

IN JESUS CHRIST NAME Amen.
