This is the most powerful teaching yet, and I needed it so badly. I’ve felt down, empty, depressed, lost. I forgot somehow that Jesus’ blood saved me already and gave me the tools I need and wanted, that I didn’t even know I needed. I really have been convicted in the past week, that I don’t stay in my Bible enough. I honestly didn’t look at it as a weapon- but I see it now. I’m encouraged by this and hope everyone who hears this is also encouraged. I pray for everyone hearing this video and reading this, that it helps you and reminds you to stay vigilant and stay in God’s word.

Yes, our falling into mistake and sin is because 'we believed something wrong,' but this is where the Calvinists got it right: because we don't choose what to believe. Be honest: when you sin, sure you have a desire to, and sure you 'succumb' to it that in the moment, but you're not choosing to have the desire, and you're not choosing, in that moment, to be weak. Rather, you THINK you're in control, and so you try instead to JUSTIFY your negative thoughts and behaviors, because "they're you, and you're in control. You wouldn't be choosing habits if they were bad, right?" Except that's what life is: you watching yourself make mistakes, not just innocently, but because you're selfish and scared, and so is everyone else. And don't worry, I'm not selling relativism. I'm saying the solution (some real 'change of heart,' some awakening) isn't up to you. It's what's required to change, yes. But it's not up to you. Because you don't choose your thoughts. Nor do you choose your feelings. Even if you could, you'd be choosing based on a feeling of "I want that one and not the other one." Except that feeling is just another unchosen thought/feeling. You may have free will, but what that free will is, isn't up to you. Furthermore, while faith is the answer, you can't choose to have it. Just like you can't say "I love you," and magically love the person in front of you, you can't will yourself to have faith. Whether you think faith = "believing that Jesus was God's son and that he died on a cross, etc" or simply that faith = "complete trust in God" (to me it's the latter, but it doesn't matter)... either way, you can't MAKE yourself believe. You can't MAKE yourself trust. And in seeing this you might begin to simply watch what you think and feel and begin to pay attention to the SENSATION the emotions make in your body. Anxiety is actually tiny clenched tissues all over your body. In your chest, your neck, behind your eyes, your back. Realize that you can't will them away, either. But something happens when you decide to use your mind just to 'look' at them. To accept that they're there, and to accept that you don't like them. To feel what they feel like. To say "I'm all tense. What does that actually feel like," instead of "I'm all tense and who's to blame?" or "I'm all tense and how can I feel better (where's the avoidance/pleasure/alcohol/drugs)?" When you realize you're not in control, and also you learn to pay attention to your body and 'feel' (and thereby accept the sensation of) these ever-passing emotions, you watch yourself relax, and start to move and act and speak with a grace you never knew you had. You'll snap out of it, too, and that's ok. But just keep looking right at the sensation of your body (the anxiety that normally would drive you mad), and see how you change when you teach yourself to feel. Each moment you can remember to, just find the least comfortable thing in your body and look at it. Again, not the 'emotion' of the situation (you know why you're upset - you don't have to tell yourself the story for the thousandth time). Rather, just go find the clench, the tension, the discomfort in your body and put your mind right on it. Hold it there for 30 second. Maybe five minutes. Watch what happens.

"Obeying out of delight" comes naturally in those moments when you realize you're completely not in control. You've ALWAYS been that way, but in the moments you remember you feel grace. Jesus's whole point about "If you're still lusting but not acting on it, you haven't changed" is him explaining that changing is a CHANGE of your mind, of what you want, of what appeals to you. And again, it may only happen for a moment, if ever. But admit that it's not up to you - if you feel any given desire. And if you can admit that, then you can stop justifying said desires you know to be wrong, and maybe, just maybe, you'll feel a real change, at last, of what you want. You have to admit you're not in control. God's not 'in control,' either - in the sense of a 'plan,' and only because maybe he made a plan, but what his mind told him to make wasn't up to him. Again, because 'to choose' is to act on a feeling inside that is unchosen. So trust God, but even if you don't, admit there's no control. And you'll feel God soon enough.

And the idea that when you're saved you 'obey' is correct, but kind of backward. Being saved is seeing that life is obeyance. Nothing happens apart from God's will. You are God's will. Including your faults. Including the fact that YOUR FAULTS ARE FAULTS. This is not relativism. This is admitting that none of this is 'up to you' because you don't choose your will. Hence, obeyance is all there is. And whether you see that or not IS ALSO GOD'S WILL.

I know Christians would like to believe it's just a holiday but ask those who use to practiced witchcraft. Having been exposed to a culture that has roots in witchcraft it is not a simple holiday. We don't see witches and warlocks celebrating Resurrection Sunday/Easter. They would suffer severe consequences. The attacks that Christians suffer due to ignorance is unbelievable. The enemy and all his demons have a field day. There is no relationship between light and darkness. Everything that he has spoken is truth. I'm not judging anyone I'm just sharing what I know! May the Holy Spirit speak to your heart. Seek and ask the Source (God).
@DiodeMom18 күн бұрын
I’ve gone back & forth on this. I wasn’t saved when my children were little so we celebrated Halloween, as did 80% of our neighborhood. At our church presently we do an outreach with “Trunk or Treat.” We don’t do anything scary or demonic. We use scripture and give out Jesus’ blessing to the children and parents who come through. Many people do Christ themed trunks, some do secular but kid- friendly like Pokémon or Barbie or the like.
@tiad.91424 күн бұрын
I personally see it as while the history is initially from the Catholic Church, with what it’s become it’s just best to not be associated with it…since what does it really add to your life/well-being to participate in it? And most people don’t know the history so for a Christian to participate could confuse unbelievers and make us look like we are not committed. 1 Thessalonians 5:22 “refrain from anything that gives the appearance of evil” and these days Halloween is associated with evil.
