All Things Spiritual-Awake
In Luke 16:19, a rich man and a beggar named Lazarus were both tormented by the crumbs from the rich man's table. Lazarus died and was carried by angels into Abraham's bosom, where he was tormented. Abraham prayed for mercy and sent Lazarus to his father's house to testify against the torment. Abraham argued that if one went to them from the dead, they would repent, but he said that if not, they would remain unruly and undisciplined.
The church is often labeled as far right extremist, but Jesus Christ's gospel is about salvation and the salvation of the world. The Pharisees made fun of Christ's sermon against worldliness, but the gospel is about empowering us against temptations to worldliness and sensuality. The spiritual things are represented in a narrative of the different states of good and bad. Godly people who are neglected and trampled die no longer in misey, and those who neglect and trample these godly people are in torment every moment, second, and forever.
In John 3:3, Jesus told Nicodemus that a man cannot see the kingdom of God unless he is born again. Nicodemus questioned how a man could be born when he is old and enter the second time into his mother's womb.
All Things Spiritual-10 Degrees
The last days represent the end of time and the end of the age of grace, which will end when Jesus Christ returns and splits the eastern sky.
The Old Testament passages, such as Romans 8:38 and 2 Kings 20:9, indicate that death, life, angels, principalities, powers, and other creatures cannot separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.
The story of the twelfth king of Judah, son of the apostate Ahaz, and the prophet Isaiah bring the shadow backward ten degrees. This story highlights the need for healing in our households, countries, and nations. The shadow head moved backwards 10 degrees, but it doesn't make sense to expect it to remain as long as possible. Instead, we need to step up and reclaim the liberty found in the faith of Jesus Christ.
The Lord has chosen the foolish and weak things of the world to confound the wise and the wise to confound the mighty. We must reach a special place for the Lord to
Children's Bible Stories-Life Abundantly

All Things Spiritual-Blasphemy
Matthew 12:31 states that sin and blasphemy against the Holy Ghost are forgiven, but blasphemy against the Holy Ghost is considered a denial of the Holy Ghost's existence. The Holy Ghost moved upon creation, and God's spirit was involved in the creation of man. The divine plural word "Elohim" is a symbol of greatness or majesty in Hebrew language. The phrase "Let us make man in our image" can be interpreted as God conversing with angels or counseling with His own will. The divine plural-our- is a majestic or literary plural, and references to the Spirit of God, the Word of God, and the wisdom of God do not imply a plurality of persons. Old Testament theophanies can be seen as manifestations of the one omnipresent, omnipotent God. The attribution of human body parts to God is like decorative art, derived from the human form. Therefore, there must be an infilling of the Holy Ghost to allow God to have a body to do his will. Blasphemy of the Holy Ghost is discussed by recognizing that there is no separation between the Father, the Son, or the Holy Spirit.

Children's Bible Stories-Blasphemy
It is important to speak the truth and rely on God's power to enlighten, teach, and fill people with the Holy Ghost.
Sin must be removed from our lives, as it is death.
The mystery of godliness is, where God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in the world, and received up into glory.
Blasphemy is considered the denial of the existence of the Holy Ghost.
You must be born again to enter and see the Kingdom of God. You will not be able to see unless you get the Holy Ghost so it can lead and guide you in all truth.

All Things Spiritual-The Refreshing
Water is a crucial element in scripture, with 363 instances mentioned in the Word. It is essential for all living things, with up to 90% of their body weight coming from water. Humans need a certain amount of water daily to survive, varying according to age, gender, and location. Water serves essential functions in the natural end and spiritual. In Genesis 1:1-2, God created the earth and made it void, but the Spirit of God moved upon the surface. God created a living soul from the dust of the ground, breathing life into man's nostrils. God has reminded man that water is still present and will always be there to refresh, invigorate, and nourish us. God purposed to destroy life on the earth in Genesis 7:4-5, but Noah and his family were saved in the ark. The water in the Bible serves as a reminder of the importance of water in our lives and the role of humans in re-communicating with God.

All Things Spiritual-This Is That
The phrase "This Is That" in Acts 2:16 is a reference to the prophet Joel's prophecy. The foundation for understanding this verse is found in 2 Peter 1:20-21, where it is stated that no prophecy is of any private interpretation. The second piece of the foundation is found in Isaiah 28:9-10, where it is stated that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. This verse raises questions about the nature of Jesus' existence and role within the Godhead. The Bible teaches that Jesus is fully God and fully human, with the Old Testament testifying that Jesus is God. Isaiah prophesied that the Messiah would be called Immanuel, meaning God with us. Jesus used this concept to confound the Pharisees when He quoted Psalm 110:1 and asked, "How could the Father not be God?". The Bible's teachings on Jesus' identity and role within the Godhead have been a subject of debate among philosophers, teachers, and theologians.

All Things Spiritual-To What En Part 2
In this lesson, the focus is on the continuity of scripture and the Word. Jesus warns his disciples not to be deceived, as many will come in his name and deceive many. He warns of wars, earthquakes, famines, and troubles, but warns them that the end is not yet. He instructs them to be cautious in their walk with Him and to be cautious of false Christs and prophets.
The disciples were not given the power to know the times and seasons of the end, but it is God's power to reveal them when He sees fit. This same instruction is given to us today. There are three requirements for revelation by the Holy Ghost: it must be in the Word of God, cannot be contrary to it, and must be proven by the Word of God.
By following these guidelines, we can avoid being deceived by signs and wonders and avoid being deceived by seducers and imposters. Jesus warns us to be cautious and to be prepared to face the consequences of our actions.

Children's Bible Stories-Lay Up Treasures.
Squirrels are cute, cuddly tree dwellers native to every continent except Antarctica and Australia. They have over 200 different species and are rodents with large eyes for evasion from predators. They prefer to live alone but group together during cold weather. Squirrels eat plants and meat, recovering around 80 percent of buried nuts due to their sense of smell. The remaining 20 percent grows into oak trees. Jesus taught us to lay treasures in heaven, where moths and rust do not corrupt and thieves do not break through. This ensures that our treasures will be secure and our hearts will be also.

All Things Spiritual-Who Are We?
This passage discusses the identity of Christians and their relationship with Christ. It highlights that major religions often reject the true identity of Christ, leading to hatred, distrust, and falsehoods. Disobedient individuals take offense at the Word, attempting to understand spiritual things with a carnal mind. This leads to enmity against God and a lack of understanding of the law. Religions are offended with Christ's doctrine and purity, but not with His existence. They also fail to recognize the works of the Spirit, which are not subject to God's law. Disobedience leads to a rejection of Christ, and those who reject Him will be punished with eternal destruction. The text emphasizes that believers who receive Christ are highly privileged and should praise Him. The apostle addresses the objections of Jews who believe in Christ's preciousness, stating that disobedient individuals are made the head of the corner and a stone of stumbling .

Children's Bible Stories-Parable the Sheep and Goats.
In Matthew chapter 25, a parable is told about the coming of the Son of man and holy angels. The King will gather all nations, dividing them like a shepherd divides his sheep from his goats. The righteous will inherit the kingdom prepared for them, but the wicked will be cursed into everlasting fire. The parable is a comparison between the sheep and the goats. The sheep are saved during the tribulation, blessed by the Holy Ghost and given an inheritance. They are treated with kindness and service, as if they were serving Christ Himself. The goats, on the other hand, are cursed with eternal hell-fire and prepared for Satan and his angels. The righteous will go away into eternal punishment, while the wicked will go into life eternal. The parable highlights the importance of a relationship with the Shepherd and the consequences of not doing so

All Things Spiritual-Free Indeed
In John 8:31-36, Jesus tells Jewish believers that if they continue in his word, they are his disciples indeed. He explains that those who commit sin are the servants of sin, and the Son abides ever. Jesus emphasizes that if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. This concept of spiritual freedom is central to the Christian faith, as it goes beyond the freedom to attend church or not attend. The freedom to choose, speak, and worship is essential for spiritual growth and understanding.
However, many Christians have not fully grasped the freedom that Jesus spoke about, leading to a life of struggle and guilt. Jesus' message of being free indeed means that many Christians are living a life of temptation and guilt, highlighting the importance of spiritual freedom in the 21st century. By living a life of faith, Christians can overcome the temptations and guilt that come with their sinful nature and experience the freedom that Jesus emphasized.

All Things Spiritual-Content with the Husks
In Luke 15:11-16, a man had two sons who were in the wrong place. The younger son, who had spent his living on riotous living, went to a far country and became in need. He joined a citizen who fed swine, and he filled his belly with the husks that the swine ate. He realized that many hired servants had enough bread to spare him, and he perished with hunger. This story highlights the temptations of sin and the need to wake up and stop settling for the dried-out husks. Satan steals the Word, which is quick, powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword. The Word is a source of wisdom and life, and when used with faith, it can destroy demonic strongholds from one's life. If Satan steals the Word, it leaves a dried-out husk, allowing him to do whatever he wants with the rest of one's life. The Word is important because it is life to those who find it.

However, we are all sinners who have sinned at some point. Jesus can set us free from our sin by admitting our sin and wanting to do less. He lived a perfect life and died on the cross, taking the punishment for our sins in our place.

All Things Spiritual-Lily of the Valleys
The Song of Solomon describes God as the rose of Sharon and the lily of the valleys, seeking to be near his creation.
He wrapped himself in flesh and came to earth to express his presence with his people through prayer and fasting. The clothing of the lily is greater than that of Solomon in all its glory, and it makes sense that our clothing should emulate Christ.
The lily was used for medicinal purposes in ancient times, and today, it is used for our infirmities. Humility gives the brightest view of ourselves and Christ, and whatever Christ is to others, to those in the valleys, he is a lily. Excellence in Christ is in his oneness, and the beauty of the saints consists in our obedience and love for Him.

John Adams, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin all emphasize the importance of acknowledging God and Jesus as the supreme rulers.
They emphasize the duty of nations to obey God's will, be grateful for His benefits, and implore His protection and favor. Jesus, in John 8, spoke to them, saying that he is the light of the world, and those who follow him will not walk in darkness but have the light of life.
Thomas Jefferson questioned the security of a nation's liberties, arguing that they are the gift of God and cannot be violated by His wrath. Isaiah 61 and Luke 4 both emphasize the Spirit of the Lord's anoinment to preach good tidings, heal brokenhearted, proclaim liberty, and open prisons. Benjamin Franklin, on the other hand, emphasizes the importance of good works and the eternal happiness in heaven, stating that even the imperfect pleasures we enjoy in this world are from God's goodness rather than our merit.
