How to fully understand Phillipians 4:19 🕊
มุมมอง 323 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา
"For my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus," Phillipians 4:19. We all know this verse, but we don't all know how God actually provides our needs. This video explains just that.

    It's easier than you think to fall into demonic delusion. You may think the Holy Spirit is guiding you, but without Christ's Holy Church body (the "invisible church" is lie as well) to guide you, the demons will pick you off and keep you away from the real Christ. This is why we have thousands of protestant denominations and the obvious corruption of the Catholic church. I am Orthodox. Orthodox...NOT Byzantine Catholic. Eastern Orthodoxy is the real deal. There's nothing easy about it, but if you love Christ and want to be part of His orginal church, it's THE WAY. ☦️ I just happened across your video, and I feel like there's a reason for that. May God bless you and keep you.

      Thank you 🙂 I appreciate your sincerity of belief in the Orthodox Church. It has been my experience that every Denomination or Church claims to be the correct one, just as you are saying. It has also been my observation that most of them use the Bible to support their claim that they are the true Church and the others are not. The solution to this conflict between factions is relationship with Christ Himself who is The Truth. He...and His Spirit of Truth...are the ultimate arbiters of truth, not any Church. That said, I value highly being a part of His true Church. Thank you again for your input 🙂

    So what mechanism are you using to determine which verses are from your god and those such as Pslam 137: 9 that can be ignored? It would appear that my decision to "ignore" all of the book as being unreliable is as valid as your decision to ignore the verses that you subjectively have decided you don't like.

    • @downtoreality2967
      @downtoreality2967 6 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @downenout8705 Good question. I rely on the Spirit of Truth to determine which verses are true and which are not. He is the ultimate arbiter of truth, not me. It is not subject to me, it is subject to Him. Also, the Bible clearly tells us what the Word of God is. It tells us that the Word of God is anything that God spoke to anyone, of which there are tons of examples in the Bible, mostly in the Old Testament. It also tells us that Christ Himself is the Word of God, and it also tells us that the message of Christ and His work that they were sharing in the New Testament is the Word of God. Since the Bible tells us that those three things are the Word of God, I don't assume that the entire Bible is the Word of God.

      @downtoreality2967 I have no clue what a "spirit of truth" is, and nowhere can such an entity be found in the Bible. Effectively however you seem to be saying that the supposed inspirer of the Bible is also the ultimate arbiter of which verses of its inspiration can be ignored. All that leaves us with is the unanswered questions, why inspire verses that aren't meant to be followed and why is this "spirit of truth" telling me to ignore all verses and you only some? Yes I agree that in 2 Timothy 3: 16 the Bible clearly tells us that "all scripture is inspired by God and is useful for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness". I don't however see how that helps you demonstrate the validity of your claim that you are being guided by this "spirit of truth" to ignore verses that also supposedly inspired this verse telling you the opposite. I also agree that the Bible implies that Jesus is god and that the Bible is god's word. All that does however is make Jesus culpable for verses like Psalm 137: 9. Sorry but I am forced to conclude that you are trying to impose your own subjective theology onto the text as a means for you to maintain your belief in your god, that by your own admission would otherwise be a "big problem".

    Another arrogant Christian preaching that his/her belief is the correct one and anyone stating something different has to be wrong or a paid actor. There are plenty of NDE's that have nothing to do with Christianity. There are common threads in NDE's that may speak to certain aspects of consciousness. But even if consciousness turns out to be a state that is beyond spacetime, that in no way means that Christianity is correct. People need to stop conflating the two. Consciousness could turn out to be fundamental and beyond spacetime, but that doesn't mean Christianity is correct. Stop preaching and discounting other people's experiences that may not align with your particular beliefs. Many traditions speak of similar experiences, and they have nothing to do with Christianity. This was basically a word salad of arrogant preaching. Let people learn about consciousness and what NDE's may be able to teach us and leave beliefs and cultural conditioning out of it completely. The only thing we should be striving to understand is conditioning itself. Not adding more conditioning and beliefs.

Whether it's good or bad, it's both psychological conditioning. If one wants to understand how the mind creates and sustains this conditioning, you need to understand the whole process. You can't sit at one end of the spectrum of conditioning, and proclaim your little space is the correct one. You need to understand the whole process of conditioning. This can only be done when you are completely free of all conditioning.

    *** WISE AS THE SERPENT *** (Knowledge is Sacrificing your Beliefs One thought at a Time) Along the plains of your subconscious, wanders the herd of your beliefs, that is comprised of individual thought Gazelle. Who are hunted by focus Cheetah, with eyes in front. Focus Cheetah is constantly assaulting the herd transforming your beliefs, digesting subconscious knowledge, and fueling the conscious mind, one thought at a time. Focus Cheetah must use its spots, to blend into the waving grass of your subconscious. Some thoughts are small, and easy to tackle. Other bigger thoughts that humans just can't seem to grasp. The focus must be controlled. It must select a reasonable target, without causing the mind to race. All this you must do. Now, put your mind out to pasture, and let your thoughts graze on muse. Drink from the spring of conception, as the conscious herd drifts through stimulating hues. Many wish to learn the way to win, but never to lose. Many wish to learn to live, but never to die. You must learn the art of dying. We are both the Cheetah & Gazelle. Imagine a psychedelic journey, mirroring the twisting, reaching growth of an Ayahuasca vine. And as the vine struggles towards the sun, penetrating the dense jungle canopy, a Shadow Boxer embarks on a similar quest, dancing in the light, navigating the labyrinth of the human mind. Just as Ayahuasca can induce profound hallucinations and spiritual insights, the Shadow Boxer's journey can lead to a heightened state of consciousness. The battle against darkness, the journey towards enlightenment, mirrors the psychedelic experience, where the mind is expanded and new perspectives are revealed. The military General utilizes the terrain to win a battle, a river, a mountain, a jungle. The Shadow Boxer is victorious beneath the axis of the eclipse. By defeating darkness, the Shadow Boxer engages the stars, in a universal battle of natural selection, for celestial light, decreasing load, and growing time. "We know he who has memory is from the past. We understand that he who is aware is in the present. Then we must acknowledge that he who is enlightened, is from the future. Is the lie not a slave of the truth? Is the lie not constantly maintained to appear as the truth? Is the path not a slave of the way? Is the path not constantly maintained to appear as the way? Do not the lie and the path eventually exhaust, and doesn't the truth and the way, remain? Draw the curtains back on absorbent gazes to ponder the flame and reason the blaze. Step by step venture towards, sometimes convex and sometimes forwards. Just as fire once lead astray, now the path gives to the way. th-cam.com/users/shortsNS4zyWsKq34?si=Z6CcT276evov_S-q

    these things God has revealed to us through the Spirit. For the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. For who knows a person's thoughts except the spirit of that person, which is in him? So also no one comprehends the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. Now we have received not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might understand the things freely given us by God. And we impart this in words not taught by human wisdom but taught by the Spirit, interpreting spiritual truths to those who are spiritual. The natural person does not accept the things of the Spirit of God, for they are folly to him, and he is not able to understand them because they are spiritually discerned. The spiritual person judges all things, but is himself to be judged by no one. “For who has understood the mind of the Lord so as to instruct him?” But we have the mind of Christ.

(Comma) " because they formerly did not obey, when God's patience waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight persons, were brought safely through water."

      @gk10101 I've thought about this for a bit...I agree, God is infinite, and as such He is not bound by many of the limitations that we are, such as time, space (distance), or the laws of physics. However, I do believe that many concepts are of Him and enable us to have a meaningful relationship with Him. I make many videos on these concepts in order to help others have that relationship with Him. But I do understand what you mean. There are times when I find that I have no other recourse than to simply trust Him being completely unaware of how He is being who He is and doing whatever He does 🙂

      @downtoreality2967 yes you make a lot of good videos with a lot of helpful advice. but again, the whole idea of "meaningful relationship", its just a concept. if you sat down to write a book on what that means, the book would never be finished because what you are ultimately defining is something that isn't quite definable. I mean, yes you could finish the book but in a year or two you might look back and see that what was presented might not be the full picture. just like you finally saw the emptiness in a lot of what is being presented in Christian circles today, I'm saying its all empty. all our knowledge, no matter what we come up with, its just concepts that represent reality. its not reality. the way, the truth, and the life is something different than everything we *think* we know. its better.. God is better and there's more of God that we can know. and the hold up isn't on Gods side. its us. why doesn't the Lord come out and just tell us that then? He actually already has. its all in the words of Jesus. anyways, feel free to critique any of the comments I make. I only comment because I do hear the Lord in you at times. I don't like saying that but it's true

      ​@@downtoreality2967yes you make a lot of good vids and give a lot of helpful advice. but the concept of a meaningful relationship is also a box. thats all we have are boxes. they're endless. our intellect puts everything in a box. I'm just saying we can actually come to the end of ourselves and find God beyond our intellect. He can actually show us Himself as the truth and the life but its something beyond anything we can think or will ever think, even after He shows us. its Him!! God doesn't show us because we don't really believe His words. we have them in the box of our own understanding. Knowing God is truly something beyond all boxes. its a wonderful thing! anyways, keep at it!!

    John 14:21-23 ESV Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him." [22] Judas (not Iscariot) said to him, "Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us, and not to the world?" [23] Jesus answered him, "If anyone loves me, he will keep my word, and my Father will love him, and we will come to him and make our home with him.

    I like your perspective. Jesus showed me his love a few times very personally. But since I am a very anxious person and overthinking by nature, i find it hard for me to stay in his love. I always fall back in these religious works and think-patterns. Do you have a good advice? thank you brother

    • @downtoreality2967
      @downtoreality2967 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @dariokolic1 Good morning. Yes, I have some suggestions. Living in a real, authentic, all the time relationship with Jesus Himself is the way out of that trap. It might sound too simple, but trust me, it's true. It is His real, comprehensive love that breaks those unhealthy mindsets. When you are living with Him, every day, communicating with Him, and spending specific time with Him, He will address those things with you in a very real and personal manner. That love found inside of relationship is infinitely more valuable than any number of sermons or teachings or disciplines.

    Thank you. Pandemic, Paradigmic...the difficulties created by man and the condition we are born into, the fallen nature welcomed by a fallen world. Then comes an opportunity to be saved from, learn, overcome. We are presented with the new program and human example [Jesus, Yeshua, The Christ] the way, truth, life, that the flesh nature cannot grasp and (Roman's 7) wants nothing to do with, except to be continuously opposing. Ok, well, depending on the in-doctrination (programming) the correlation of thoughts and thought management, beliefs, internal boundaries, aka the 'settings,' all sorts of combinations are just that...set. The intial state of how we are or what we have become thus far... From your story and the extreme, as to the like Paul, if you should boast, one would think, man going past the nominal level into the deep, would surely have us finding the better sense, feeling, knowing the Father, Son, Spirit...but alas... Nope. The programming sidetracks the priority which is definitively, the foundation, bedrock of love, here defined as Devotion, not subject to feelings but having the ability to feel feelings. The other things matter but not more, and not necessarily rightly place without the order of Love first. So as you express and as it is what it is, root of faith, which the Father gives/makes possibleand the absolute necessity with being rooted and grounded in the Love of God, is the start point. I consider that while many profess Christ and emit from the lips, confess with the mouth, that the believing in the heart is not sure, thus one may believe they believe, but don't actually. When life, the enemy, the flesh, the devil throws its 'curves,' that sure faith needs to be intact, and the belief in the love, to come to know the love, needs to be in position. Being careful who is talking when the words and thoughts come (old man I, or new man I..) cause the old man I was placed on the cross, yet can speak in our heads, and accuse the new man. 1 cor 13 certainly lays out the importance of Love as the precondition for the rest. 2 cor 10:3-6 bringing thoughts into captivity to the obedience of Christ. There is a lot of management that goes on in us, and the Holy Spirit is given to help, comfort and teach. For all who read: Understand that our whole life is based on belief, and belief structures (paradigms). Understand what the real battle is and know that change is possible and real. Be transformed by the renewing of the mind, yep for sure...AND remember what is being said here. There are settings (beliefs) in us, some genetic, some environmental, many adaptative and these basis are what we are using to decide what to keep and what needs to go... The whole is the whole and adjusting without clarifying our basis, runs the risk of further deception. Jesus was, is, and continues as the perfect man, God on earth, who did come to set the captives free. It's taken me far longer that I would wish it had, yet how long is long in a life described as momentary and a vapor...? Hmmm, yeah if you think you thought you saw something and keep getting sucked back in to the same old same old, if your still alive, there's still time. Say yes to the belief and the love we were created by God to connect with, and say no to all that would intiate or cause separation from that Love. Obdience will follow, when the love of God becomes known and true...along with the promise of GPS, Prov 3:5-6. Gods promise to direct our path, on condition of three IF's: Trusting Him with ALL my heart. NOT leaning to my own understanding. Submitting my ways to the Lord (All), ...then the promise... He 100% will direct my path. It's not God who is inconsistent or underdeveloped. Ha almost make me laugh at any stupidity or ignorance on my part... I pray, Lord what else, show me and engage me to overcome all that would be necessary, that I may fully serve you. Jesus says, Taste and see that I am good. If you want to come after me, deny yourself and take up your cross and follow Me. Make the jump, the leap of faith. Allow yourself to open to the Love and let God the Father, do His work in you. Change the baseline belief, recieve the Love and know that the change is now possible. Embrace and let's go.

    We must have read a different book. When I was 13 years old, I was told by my Pastor to stop asking him questions (he couldn't answer) and he said I would find all the answers in the Bible. I read it cover to cover twice and never found the answers I was seeking. It gave me a million more horrific questions and made me realize if that god existed, it is not worthy of worship. With further investigations as I got older, I learned about all the contradictions, translation errors, scientific impossibilities, historic impossibilities, geologic problems, forgeries, impossible timelines, etc. which continue to make me know the book is total nonsense!

      Believe it or not, I am actually one of those people who admit to the faults of the Bible, even though I still believe most of it. I regularly acknowledge the contradictions in many of my videos, and I take a lot of flack from other Christian people for it. Check my older videos if interested. Part of the process that I went through was coming to the understanding that the Bible is not the ultimate standard, Christ Himself is. And I completely disagree with your pastor's response to you when you were 13, that should never happen 😑 Thank you for watching and responding.

      @downtoreality2967. Thank you for your response. I hadn't heard about Esther's name change. But I wouldn't consider that an actual contradiction. How do you reconcile that the "Jesus" of the Bible was born before -4BC when King Herod died. However, the "Jesus" of the Bible was also born in +6AD when Quirinius became the governor of Syria and performed his first census?!? There is no way for a human being to be born in 2 different years that are about 10 years apart. One or both of those birth narratives in Matthew and Luke has to be wrong. Paulogia has an excellent video about this subject. Additionally, the Bible claims that Mary, Joseph, and Jesus were in Nazareth at the same time they were supposedly in Egypt. They are 250 miles apart at a time when there were no cars. If you read the gospels side by side and don't cherry-pick things out of it, these are just two examples. There are so many more that make a timeline impossible to make for Jesus. I suggest you listen to Dan Barker talk about his "Easter challenge" or watch Bart Ehrman talk about all the contradictions, forgeries, and other mistakes included in the Bible.

    Thank you for such heartfell sharing, you are so charismatic! Like you, I felt distancing away from God, even though I put so much time in serving others. But during an Advent challenge, I got in touch with God again through the same path as yours - love. So one of the challenges, was to say 5 daily compliments to others, which in my cold country we fail to do it in a year. And during those compliments, I noticed such a shift in my mood - I became so much more lively and happy. The gift of compliment, is a gift of love from yourself. It takes away your ego, for you have to be fully absorbed into another person, to notice the smallest things you could compliment on. But the problem I had is that I felt like a candle without a fire. There was no warmth inside me, there was no love in me that I could share through compliments. Everything was done, like I was forced to do it. And a candle without a fire canot light other candle with warmths. But I still tryed, I still tryed to compliment others and light a good mood in them. My first compliment was the hardest, because the compliment is just a packaging. What is inside of it is a gift of warmth that I desperately tryed to find. I guess the fire I found was the Jesus love coming from me, for I did this to please him. Through sheer spiritual force (which I believe you have a lot through your more than 30 years of spiritual gym) I gave my first compliment and it turned out better than I expected. I believe they were happy to receive praises, for it definetely lightened my mood. As if the ignited flames of love from them was passed to me. That single spark from one puny compliment lighted in me a small bonfire of love towards others, myself and God. I was radiating from love and started practising giving compliments more and more. Giving compliments felt as if throwing branches into my small bonfire, making my love grow larger. Rather paradoxicall, these compliments started from selfless intentions, to make others happy, but it quickly grew into selfish reasons, as they started bringing joy to me instead... During this time, I felt more in touch with God, then I usually am. And now your video, is giving me new lovely ideas. The work I do when I serve in the church, has to be filled with the same love. But now not only towards others, but to the God as well. I guess the light that was born from him, gifted to others and then received back, has to be passed back to him. Thank you for your message 😇
