👉🏻 hotm.art/Discover-Prosperity-with-God 👈🏻 Welcome to the first step of your journey towards true prosperity with God. With this eBook, like many, you are in search of something more. Perhaps you feel there is a gap in your life, an empty space that not even money, success, or interpersonal relationships can fill. And you have probably realized that the answer might lie in something deeper, something spiritual. The concept of prosperity is often misunderstood. In a society focused on material gains, it's easy to confuse prosperity with financial wealth. However, true prosperity goes far beyond material goods. It involves a life rich in values, meaning, and purpose. And, for many, this is intrinsically linked to a deep and enriching relationship with God. 👉🏻 hotm.art/Discover-Prosperity-with-God 👈🏻

Fasting can indeed have various physical and mental effects, including increased mental clarity. However, it's important to approach fasting with the right intentions and focus on spiritual growth and connection with God rather than seeking supernatural experiences. In the Bible, fasting is often associated with seeking God's guidance, repentance, and spiritual discipline. It's a way to draw closer to Him and gain a deeper understanding of His will for our lives. While some people may have unusual experiences during fasting, it's crucial to stay grounded in your faith and rely on biblical principles for guidance. Talking to the dead or seeking supernatural encounters should not be the primary purpose of fasting for a Christian. Instead, use fasting as a tool to enhance your relationship with God and seek His wisdom and direction in your life.

@PathsofUnderstanding
@PathsofUnderstanding 4 ай бұрын
Disciplining Christian children is a topic that should be handled with care and love. While God allows for discipline, it's important to remember the biblical principles of discipline, which include correction, guidance, and love. Proverbs 22:6 (NIV) says, "Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old, they will not turn from it." This verse emphasizes the importance of teaching children the ways of the Lord from a young age. Ephesians 6:4 (NIV) advises, "Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord." This verse encourages parents to provide godly guidance and instruction to their children without being harsh or provoking anger. Discipline should always be done in a way that reflects God's love and seeks the child's spiritual and moral growth. It's essential to balance correction with affirmation, understanding, and forgiveness, following the example of God's grace and patience with us. While some forms of punishment may be necessary, they should be administered with the goal of teaching and shaping the child's character rather than causing harm. It's crucial to pray for wisdom and seek guidance from the Bible in disciplining Christian children.

@PathsofUnderstanding

Fasting can be a meaningful spiritual practice, but it's important to remember that our connection with Jesus Christ is not dependent on fasting or any specific rituals. In John 14:6 (New International Version), Jesus said, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me." Our relationship with Jesus is based on faith in Him and His grace, rather than specific practices or rituals. Fasting can be a valuable tool for spiritual growth, but it's not the means to "lift the sacred secretion."

*From The Gospel of Thomas, Quote; 14. Jesus said to them: If you FAST, you will beget a sin upon yourselves;* *and if you PRAY, you will be CONDEMNED; and if you give alms, you will do evil to your spirits. End Quote...*

The quote you mentioned is from the Gospel of Thomas, which is not part of the canonical New Testament and is not accepted as authoritative by most Christian denominations. It's considered a non-canonical or apocryphal text. When considering Christian beliefs and practices, it's essential to rely on the canonical Bible, which includes the Old Testament and the New Testament. In the canonical Bible, fasting, prayer, and giving alms are encouraged as spiritual disciplines when done with the right heart and motives. For example, in the canonical Bible, Jesus himself fasted and taught about fasting (Matthew 6:16-18), and He also emphasized the importance of prayer (Matthew 6:5-15) and giving to those in need (Matthew 25:35-40). It's important to discern the teachings we follow based on the canonical scriptures accepted by mainstream Christianity and seek guidance from trusted religious leaders and scholars within one's own Christian tradition.

Self-denial of the flash is not the proper way of communing with God. That's an archaic, barbaric and erroneous evolutionary practice. Jesus did not fast when he went out in the desert after his baptism. He was planning the details about his upcoming public ministry and how he should conduct himself at all times. And he later became mildly sarcastic, when being accused of not fasting.
@PathsofUnderstanding

Thank you for sharing your perspective on the practice of fasting. Fasting is indeed a topic with different viewpoints within the Christian community. Fasting is a practice that has been observed by believers throughout history, both in the Old and New Testaments. While it's true that Jesus did not fast during His time in the desert after His baptism, He did engage in fasting on other occasions. In Matthew 4:1-2, it is written, 'Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after fasting forty days and forty nights, he was hungry.' This event highlights that fasting can be a means of spiritual preparation and seeking God's guidance. However, it's important to note that fasting should not be seen as a means of earning salvation or righteousness. Salvation comes by God's grace through faith in Jesus Christ, as emphasized in Ephesians 2:8-9: 'For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.' Fasting, when done with the right heart and motives, can serve as a tool for drawing closer to God, seeking His guidance, and practicing self-discipline. It is not a requirement for salvation but rather a personal choice made by believers in their journey of faith. In Matthew 6:16-18, Jesus offers guidance on fasting, saying, 'And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you.' Ultimately, whether one chooses to fast or not, the key is to do so with a sincere heart and as a means of drawing closer to God. God's grace remains the foundation of our faith, and our works, including fasting, are expressions of our devotion and obedience to Him.

@@PathsofUnderstanding I'm well aware of what the scriptures says about the 40 days but it is NOT true; again, Jesus did not fast any time during his lifetime. He knew it was an archaic, barbaric and erroneous approach to God. It's as simple as that. Once again, any type of self-denial of the flesh is NOT the correct approach to a spiritual, loving, merciful God. We are also not saved by God's grace. We are saved by our free will faith in God. Jesus said that we are saved by our faith. Not God's grace. But our free will decision, our choice, to exercise believing, loving faith in the beneficient God. God blesses us in response to our faith. Both the doctrine of fasting and the doctrine of grace are theological errors in religion. Neither one have anything to do with spiritual meanings, values, or relationships. The 40 days after the baptism, has been confused with a then recent prior event, when he was still a man, waiting to become manifest as godly, of debates with 'Satan' on Mount Hermon, in fact, the same area as his later Transfiguration. And the reply of Jesus to the Pharisees, concerning Jesus and his apostles not fasting, including the comment about the bridegroom and the wine skins, he also said "...... Fasting may be an appropriate part of the law of Moses, but in the coming Kingdom, the sons of God shall experience freedom from fear, and joy in the divine spirit." Even the disciples of John the Baptist were comforted by these words of assurance. He then later quoted Isaiah's denunciation of fasting to his apostles. Afterwards, he propounded to his apostles the truth that it was their faith that made them secure in the Kingdom of the present and the future, and not their affliction of soul nor fasting of body. And the spiritual teachings of Jesus the Master, supercedes all other erroneous biblical teachings of the same subject.
