I began my investment journey at the age of 33, primarily through hard work and dedication. I am to share that my passive income exceeded $100k in a single month for the first time. This success reinforces the importance of the advice mentioned earlier. It is not about achieving quick wealth, but rather ensuring long-term financial prosperity..

Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.

[@blessingpaul5484]

This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor?

[@SophiaBint-wj8wn]

Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $500k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.

[@brittanynicolette9473]

wow that’s stirring! Do you mind connecting me to your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversified my portfolio.

[@RyanContreras72]

Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who assisted you? I’m 40 now and would love to grow my stock portfolio and plan my retirement

I listen to these Bible studies so much that the intro sound from this KZbin channel plays in my head during my Bible study.

That’s too good 🤣

[@TheCreepypro]

thank you Lord for what you have done for us, help us to stay on the path and keep our minds on that which is from above!

[@sherry3422]

When God gives you a new heart, you will automatically do that. You who are born again will seek the things that are above, the riches of His grace. You will have your mind set on the things that are above. Little by little, your earthly pleasures will be less than the pleasures of God which are in Christ. Your desires are new, you thirst for the living God, to know Him who made heaven and earth and all things visible and invisible!! Your heart will go after the things of God and His kingdom!! All things become new...

[@thundergrace]

Thanks using this as my devotion. Thanks for getting my mind on things above

Romans 8:28 t John 3:11-24( Love❤😊 one❤ another❤) 1 John 3:11-20 "11 This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 12 Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous. 13 Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you( or us today in Christ too). 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him. 16 This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. 17 If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? 18Dear children, let us not love with words or tongue but with actions and in truth. 19 This then is how we know that we belong to the truth( Jesus( John 14:6) is 1st love to me in Christ too in Christ), and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence. 20 whenever our heart condemn us. For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything."( 1 John 3:11-20 Zondervan NIV Study Bible and all parenthesis parts and symbols in Christ and for Christ.

[@naits7457]

If believing in Jesus means you have to deny yourself (desiring obedience and devotion to God instead of sin), but the carnal mind cannot subject to God's laws (Romans 8:7), then how do you deny yourself in the first place? You only get the Holy Spirit after you are saved and it is the Holy Spirit that helps you to hate and defeat sin and to love and obey God's laws. So how do get to Jesus before you have the Holy Spirit?

[@j._7054]

And how do we keep the holy spirit once we attain it? Even loving God's laws and hating sin, after months of obedience, I fall again. The war against flesh never ends

[@WordsOfLife-oo8mq]

Obedience. Praying and fasting. The kingdom of heaven is at hand. I think you have an identity problem once we know who we are in Christ is easy because his yoke is easy and his burden is light. Everything that you need is already here. Seek the kingdom . We live in a democracy that’s why we don’t understand kingdoms principles. Christ is a king. Obey his decree.

[@WordsOfLife-oo8mq]

We can’t obey without the Holy Spirit. Ask King Jesus to fill you with the Holy Spirit, then you will have power.

[@WordsOfLife-oo8mq]

You are not meant to do this on your own is by his spirit not by might your own might you will fail over and over and over until you let him do it.

[@WordsOfLife-oo8mq]

The Holy Spirit only point to Christ and the only way to the father is thru Jesus. it’s a process.

[@maxaplin4204]

In this video John Piper rightly speaks against two common wrong ideas about the Christian faith. Firstly, there are those, like Roman Catholics, who say that Christians partly earn their salvation. That is completely wrong. We serve God because we have been saved, not in order to be saved. And secondly, there are those who hold to so-called Free Grace Theology, who say that even those who never repent of their sins will be saved as long as they accept Jesus as Saviour. No! It is true that we are saved by faith and not by repenting of our sins. But, crucially, repentance always ACCOMPANIES saving faith. If someone never repents of their sins, that is a sign that they don't have genuine, saving faith. As James says: 'I will show you my faith by my deeds.' (Jas 2:18)

[@user-xq2bm3nq8y]

Piper says he’d like to cheerfully tell his neighbor he’s at odds with abortion and arrogance. What if his neighbor was an unborn child? What if the child was going to be aborted? Wonder if Piper’s cheerful salutation would be well received or reviled? If the child could speak, would it say “I’m thankful you are at odds, but your sentiments ring hollow. What are you going to NOW”? What Piper fails to grasp is both the severity and finality of abortion. To equate abortion and arrogance as similar sins is absurd. Firstly, everybody displays arrogance in one form or another. Is there some gage or meter that would indicate if the amount therein was so horrible it would be deadly? Secondly, the effects of arrogance can be fixed. Trump tweeting meanly is hardly a national catastrophe no matter how the oh-so-timid Piper may construe it (does he get out much?). On the other hand, abortion IS deadly. There are no gradations of abortion. No one goes in for a little bit of abortion. Abortion leads to death. Real, immediate death. Does Piper grasp the finality of death? One wonders if it were pastors being led to slaughter if he’d feel differently. What if the end of a day’s work for an abortionist was a vat of severed legs, arms, crushed skulls, sliced bowels and bruised brains from woke evangelical pastors? Piper, can you see a difference now? The effects of EACH abortion are eternal. There are no replays.

Piper is one of the most powerful pro-life voices. You could learn a lot from him

[@user-xq2bm3nq8y]

@@HearGodsWord I HAVE learned from him. Before he became a waffler on the issue, I sat under his ministry at Bethlehem Baptist. His pro life sermons were powerful. You would’ve thought he would have supported the man sovereignly choose by God to end Roe. You would’ve thought wrong. Turns out he was too much of a coward.
