When I’m ‘ in my time of dying’, the image of the man sitting on the chair will remind me that what’s important isn’t words, but the attitude of my body.
It's both weird and wonderful how Tim can expose thoughts down to their roots, explain both the thoughts, the scriptures and their context, both historical and present. All intertwined. Nothing glossed over. Nothing presumed nor 'made up' to suit an agenda. Raw. Real. Relevant. Thank you Tim, and thanks be to the living God whose patience is incredible, just to put up with MY struggles and giving out.
Sean Collins things will get better surely remember that all things are working for your good sometimes we just have to ask God what it is he needs us to do to get where he needs us to be and when we begin to obey him he’ll show us what he’s leading us to and when those hard times come we’ll have something to look to as encouragement that everything will be alright and that God is taking care of our problems. God bless you .
Shalom All! Would be wonderful to have you consider what some Biblical scholars and historians have done in collaboration with Michael Rood and some of his colleagues -- there have been some pivotal discoveries related to Biblical history in the last few years. aroodawakening.tv/ maybe you can team up and collaborate and share your collective Bible teaching
I've been in that chair for a long time. As a sufferer of OCD, I am constantly brought to tears by the battle raging in my head. This message was poignantly timed in my life. Thank you.
I have also suffered from OCD for several years and I want you to know that there is relief and joy ahead of you! I have benefitted from therapy, medication, and supplements, but Jesus is my ultimate hope. Hang in there and rely on His strength ❤️
I learned that just accepting everything the good the bad and pretty has helped me over come OCD. Especially taking the focus off of “knowledge “ and focusing on humans around me. In example going to hospitals and giving faith and hope, little did I know that I to would be inspired and felt empowered in a humble way. We live in a society that we alienate ourselves from nature,people,work, an trust. Be humble and lose the “what I want to know” to the “what I need to feel”. God really helped me out of all by bringing meaning to all things, the now and after life so all o do is worth it.
Dear Jesus, please bless this brother with hope and peace, let his burdens fall off his chest and let him be with your endless joy and provision. Let him be be comforted and lead during times of anguish. Lord move for us, stir us up. Amen.
@@michaeldecker3728 Thank you for your beautiful prayer. It touched my heart. God has been dealing with me with love and discipline since I wrote this comment. I got much closer to God and more trusting Him. I call Him Father. May God bless you closely everyday and night.
Thank you so much Tim Mackie For me your teachings are a sign of a Father who is so so mindful of me.. I am 60 and been a Christian for over 40 years... But this past year i have learned more than 40 years put together.. Thank you again.. Gosh i look at the people sitting and listening to you and wish like crazy i was one of them 😁 so grateful for these videos ♥️♥️♥️
I was in that chair just couple of days ago, but true enough the Spirit led me to pray on that particular time when I didn’t know what to pray. Then I cried myself out to God, after that, that burden of emotions just fell of my shoulders. I felt the peace & love of God hovering me. I don’t know how to explain, and now He led me to watch this to find the answer…. Thank you! God is good, He’s really is good!
If find myself in those situations as well, the overwhelming sense of peace you get feels like Jesus is just giving you a hug. God always brings me to these videos when I need them
I can only imagine how my life would have turned out to be if I had this level of teaching instead of the one I had when I was a kid. My heart breaks for those years, but I'm glad that I get to enjoy it now. If you belonged to that church at that time, I envy you in the most healthy way possible 😊
Great message for today as we see Ukraine in anguish and groaning in its suffering. The world weeps and groans with them. Even those who never pray are praying for them in this tragic hour. Your messages always amaze me as it seems they were made today, but the Biblical messages are timeless and a welcome comfort when there are no answers for the craziness in our world. God's creativity and wonder that is still here helps too. Even amidst the tragedies are incredibly beautiful stories and a sprinkling of flowers, so to speak. I always remember the picture of a wildflower breaking through the blacktop at a prison. Hope...
Thank you. I've been in this chair for a few months. What's felt like punishment to me...the suffering I've been feeling/experiencing all makes more sense now. What's interesting to me is how right suffering feels. How it seems to belong in me. Now instead of translating that into punishment, I can step back and see that it's for a reason. God is in it. Thank you for your courage in sharing this and encouraging us to not just understand it but to prepare for it ...to embrace it. Well done💚✝️🙏
I love the way you teach the Bible. When I read the Bible it seems as this is how church’s were back then and not this big show of what they are today. Very biblical and I learn more from this than a 15 minute sermon and a few verses and hope they haven’t been perverted by the speaker
Great great teaching! Just what I needed to hear. Been sitting for awhile and feeling like God is ignoring or forgotten me. Praying for my daughter to be convicted by the Lord about the young man she’s dating who if a believer, certainly not an obvious one.Heartbreaking.
Wow! The first fruits of the wheat harvest. As a young girl I recall going out to gather berries with my great Uncle on a farm in Missouri. The profound nature of our stop at the wheat fields to have me search for the first of the mature wheat the lesson takes on a whole new meaning today. For years this was totally lost in my memory as a science lesson. How beautiful to realize I was holding the first fruits of the firstfruits of the harvest.
yes...this last 15mins on broken world...is soo painful😞 i want Jesus to come fast and make things all right...my frnds to get saved..my heart to be completely filled by Him... God...Thank You for your Spirit🥺❤️
Thank you Tim!! Very Inspiring and great detailed definition of the Gift of the Spirit :) Inspired by how the Spirit is in the beginning when creation was Good (Genesis), and through the resurrection we have the Spirit's presence in us trying to bring us to Glory. Well done teacher!
this whole message i kept thinking about jesus last words to his disciples at the last supper where he said he was in the father and the father was in him and we were in them and they were in us...... every permutation! the creation groans, we groan, the spirit (which is in us - we are his temple) groans........ he is with us, we are with him... the previous message and this message - john 14 (also in john 17 ----- i had to go look it up because i was going off of memory)
It refers to both, I think. I know believers who definitely can and do pray in tongues, and there descriptions of it match that verse very closely. Many people abuse this gift, but when they pray in tongues it's a personal action with God, totally under the Spirit's control, they can feel him speaking and the understand the direction he's headed, though not exactly what each word means. It's like he drives the car leads you in prayer. As Paul says, however, it's best done in private, so as not to unsettle or confuse others unnecessarily. I think the passage also refers to normal prayer as well.
These 2 circles at the middle section where they cross create the Vesica Pisces.It is part of a Geometric representation of God creating everything.Each circle represent one act of creation and one day , the vesica pisces is meant to be a geometric representation of the Light.The final figure with all circles is the flower of life.
There’s video? I’ve been listening to the podcast. Could I suggest adding a link in the podcast notes to these videos? Esp. since the numbers don’t match up; this is ep 7 on the podcasts.
-This seems a bit late for me to respond a comment to but my interpretation of the image, Is of a man (considering his age, his sorroundings, the position in which he is sitting, and the way his hands are knuckled up upon his face): recognizing he is arriving close to his soon passing, in great despair, because of how lonely he has become, at his age... he has not accomplished much (although, a modest earning, judging by his clothing), and is possibly thinking that death would be more suitable, than, how he is feeling about his rather empty life; a life filled with too much time to himself, with nothing but his hobby/work to keep him company/occupied. -This appears to be a man withered with intense regret for the way he has chosen to live his life or the way his life has turned out. In any case... +He should have gotten a pet companion, they are undercover therapy for the aging and lonely in life, but would need to view more of his art to really be sure about this one, as this is just my first impression... *But good artist indeed...
@@svetlanabarrow6026 maybe so, but there is a wide selection and endless variety of what one could choose as a pet (not limited to cats, dogs, spiders, mouse, rabbits, gerbils, ferrets, snakes, chickens, sheep, ants, etc.). Many of these animals which may go undetected by property policy... As some of them may be there living amongst the housing establishment already. Not to mention, "service animals," whom by law, must be accepted as they are not considered pets... but medical assistance for their humans. So judging by how some pets, ultimately, help us sustain our lives, if he is open to having any kind of pet, they could be profoundly therapeutic and live saving.
@Danny Dolan thank you for your reply. I guess my simplistic view points to my need to continually recognize we are in a fallen world where we will continue to experience the wages are being meted out - adjust my expectations. This isn’t where I will have sparkling white smile , but I can learn to take the best care possible of my teeth!
You are using a Venn Diagram..."Intersection" is when you must be in BOTH sets. In your case suffering and glory intersect at the cross (Jesus death and resurrection) In a Venn Diagram: Sets Intersect Venn Diagram: Intersection of 2 Sets
Feelings aren't facts. You are your own worst enemy. The twelve tribes of Israel were the only ones sealed by the Holy Spirit per Rev.7:4 and then the end came. No one alive today can rightly claim to be "in the Spirit" nor "baptized by the Holy Spirit".
@@firstarticle3779 You mean Yahweh won't be asking my opinion on it, which is correct, because Yahweh only cared about ancient Israelites, which is no one alive today nor in the future. You have been duped into believing you're a sinner under a law that passed away...and need a savior who said he came for someone else...who will save you from a sin that's already been removed...and a judgement that already happened...and allow you into a covenant that was made with someone else. The fact is, we today have never been and are not part of ancient Israel's redemptive narrative.~Michael Bradley
How so? The cross is the point at which God’s glory and the human condition meet. Perhaps there is a better visual, but this one resonates to many on what exactly the cross means.
