Maintain what has been taught. Ponder everything... Stand up for what is right.
Evil can mimic feelings of happiness and fulfillment in one's heart.
One should pay attention to all patterns going on around oneself. They hold key insight to unlocking more knowledge that may lead to Wisdom.
Dreams can be utilized by Father Yahweh and Satan, and can be used for or against anyone; to achieve different things either side may have.
What evil does and continues to try to do is obscure the Truth, but Father Yahweh always wins over all.
Evil will try to obscure the Truth so if one does find theirselves in Father's protection once more, they may not recognize the difference. Not being able to do so may cause them to be rebellious to Father, and/or make it more easy for them to lose balance and concentration and focus, so as to fall off Father's narrow path once more.
Test all things, keep what is good. [1 Thessalonians 5:21]
The same physical feelings one may receive from Father can be mimicked by evil. From the painful to the fulfilling.
The knowledge one has creates a responsibility of its own. Understanding, the same, and in all that included are the aspects and repercussions of that knowledge and understanding. Coming to understand that the symbolism in real life is not much different than that of the Spirit Realm, and hence, also the symbolism of one's dreams, one must also come to understand that they are then more responsible for their own actions in their dreams. And at that, their very own heart is impacted by their dreams, especially those thought/dream injections that are accepted, whether one realizes it or not. Though, this is no different than one without this understanding. In that way, one is totally responsible for all they are given, whether they see the ramifications or not.
Just as a child may fall victim to an adult lion, so are we.
We shouldn't try to rush our growth, just as we can't speed up the process of our agin. In this, we are truly still dependent on Father, and lovingly so. Perhaps that is partially why a so-called "value" of independence is against Father's Way.
At the same time, we shouldn't pause and stop our growth when we can, so we can continually produce all good fruits in their season.
Trying to be watchful for the next snare that may be laid is going to take some work.
If there is ever a point where Father's insight and Wisdom stops coming and being shared flowingly, I have certainly stepped off the narrow path. However, that, in itself, might be something used against oneself to be used by the enemy to create a false security.
Something my mom continues to make note of is how long it takes for her to prepare food, and how quickly it is consumed. Thinking of this, consider how long it took for the food to even be made ready to get from the store, and then how all that energy is a part of an even larger cycle. Then one might consider how Father is capable of such immense feats of energy, to continually produce from the ground up for Her children. It seems impossible to not make mistakes. Perhaps that is part of how there truly is a time and place for literally everything Father has placed in Creation.
I shouldn't take a good gift and throw it away. I should exercise extreme precaution, though, because of the potential abuse of the said gift.
Even if a good gift were left unused, it may not stop evil from laying a snare otherwise. In fact, it would probably be seen that evil utilizes what one does not know, expect, or can see so as to maintain or try to retail, control.
Pray constantly. And pray about everything.
Somehow when I prayed, evil was able to respond to my prayer. In this, like having a conversation...
The songs stuck in one's head may not be their own self, but someone else singing it in their mind. That might become a key in whether one is actually susceptible or not to thought injections. The more thought injections I can't stop from reaching my heart that come from evil, the less defense I seem to have against being molested. That means that even in one's sleep, there may be no rest.
I should only fall asleep if I am tired, and I should wake up the first time I wake up, whether by alarm or otherwise.
Perhaps my weakness in sleeping is part of the reason I was given a message not to be sleeping like I have been.
Any humility one has cannot compare and to make comparisons of that nature is sinful.
I should not base my or any quantity of any attitude on a quantity or scale, but only give all that I can at any time. I must not try to weigh or measure or evaluate how much I am giving, but rather, only ever be giving everything I can at any given time.
1 Corinthians 4:3-4, Jeremiah 12:5
I need to lose this perspective of looking at myself and evaluating myself and weighing myself and constantly having shame for not being able to measure up and/or not ever being able to measure up because I never will, those aren't the points. I shouldn't stop to look back, but only ever doing my best at every given moment. Luke 9:62
I should look forward, and by looking forward, continue to cultivate and grow anything as it is time for. If I see that there are plans available to cultivate proper humility, I should go do so. I should not go back or look back to see how much humility has already been cultivated.
Correct instillation of correct attitudes will take time.
Do not look down on myself with shame or try to evaluate myself, as those attitudes are not good. Period. They breed a multitude of bad habits and attitudes that need not be explained because the very attitudes, themselves, are not proper. Nor good.
Do not look back and say what could have been done better to try to determine what better can be done in the future of a similar instance because 1) one may never find themselves under the same conditions to repeat that situation in a better way, and 2) they will miss the point of trying to continually do better at everything they do, which is not in trying to tweak one's actions on the outside, but rather, on the focus of performing and growing more and more like Father at every moment.
One's past does not make oneself who they are. Father does. And out of Father, is Father's gift of Free Will.
One shouldn't target practice for a particular score, because archery/marksmanship is not based on only the accuracy of one's shot. Form, attitude, state of mind, concentration, anything and everything, goes into the art, and this same concept is mirrored in following Father's Way. One must not look back at their previous scores in the attempt to beat them or in shame. One shouldn't look back at all. The point isn't in the attempt to beat one's previous state, or beat another's, as that would be competitive and defeat the whole point of why one would be doing anything at all. Could one possibly ever outrun Father? Such a state of mind would lead oneself into trying to compete with their own Creator, and there is no love in such an attitude. Thus, one must give up their past, not look back, and/or even try to take up their cross because of regret or shame, but out of love for Father, Christ, and all of positive Creation.
The point isn't in trying to make a score because one just can't possibly make the mark. The point is in continually developing the love and instillation and growth of Father's Way in one's heart, with complete faith and hope, obedience and loyalty to Father in all that Father has promised and commanded.
Matthew 9:13 and 12:7
In this way, looking back is to sacrifice.
And it's all these things used against us that we do not know. But it isn't knowledge that saves, and it is Father, Herself, Who has made the choices and decisions. In that very instance we can have hope and faith, love, loyalty, and obedience in everything.
Ezekiel 20:48
This is no different for anyone else.
In order to grow good fruits, sometimes you have to clear a weeded area, first, and one must not consider the weeds as valuable, or the weeds will take up the land and one will not bear fruit.
Father has made Her decision and has put Her mind to something. It will not be stopped or extinguished.
I can't just sit somewhere and meditate on cultivating positivity. I can't sit somewhere and plan out the growth of those good attitudes, as the plans are truly in Father's hands.
Knowledge helps to start a huge process. The beginning of Wisdom is the fear of God. Thus, one must come to understand that God exists, and know who Yahweh is. If all the people will come to know who Yahweh is, and they understand this, but do not have the Wisdom placed there by Father, then they will be held to that knowledge.
If one conserves their strength out of fear they will have none; they will find themselves lacking.
Feasting for strength, not for laughter. Quite a concept. How does one feast, then? [Ecclesiastes 10:17 and 10:19]
Putting the Great Jigsaw together could become putting gigantic pieces together all the while keeping the smaller parts also continually getting pieced, which would require a brain capable of super multitasking and nearly unlimited memorization. Imagine the refinement yet continual expansion taking place all at once. And these aren't just numbers and letters, but whole concepts that could continually take numbers and letters just to mathematically explain.
What is a god? [Something to look up for better clarification and insight to Isaiah 44:17-18]
There is a time to consider something lost, and not try to keep reaching for it [Ecclesiastes 2:6]. It feels bad, and out of that, one should move forward and grow to be able to not lose anything further.
Everything recent...2013 and beyond, are copies of my thoughts. Everything before 2013...is stuff I wrote before now...
Enjoy!
Enjoy!
