Wow,, this is so beautifully said, I did not even thought about these things.. I invite people from church for lunch , after church every Sunday. We have such a blessed times sharing,, we have missionaries and pastors from Europe too. And they share about the mission over seas. It’s a wonderful time together, and yes I enjoy setting the table with nice dishes, I do have plants and paintings and pictures and other dust collectors 🤷♀️😃 But we enjoy it so much to have fellowship with other Christian people. And I am so blessed with flowers, I get so many flowers from my guests.. So,, sisters,, if you love flowers invite people over😃🙌✝️🙏
I have notebooks that I call my God book. It's my prayers and answers that God gave me to those prayers. It has been so important to me and has even given other people comfort. God bless you, brothers and sisters in Jesus Christ ❤
WOW 🤗 you are the best pastor of my life and I actually cried during the whole speech about the Holy Spirit. You made me actually cry.🤗 now I’m going to listen to this video
Instead of having the symbols of communion, we should probably just Follow the example of the early Church and invite fellow believers over to fellowship. Wherever two or more are gathered, he is among them.
When your home is filled with the Holy Spirit, you don't need things to prove it. In fact, I've been led to remove alot of things because they're really not necessary. Trying to live more minimalist here.
Why just because you want to do it doesn't mean everyone should. Let people decide for themselves. They are not sinning if they choose not to do as you think they should. We are all different. plants are necessary in our homes they can clean the air in our homes. Prayer boards in a safe home are bebeautiful you can pray for everyone.you not good if your environment is toxic it could be used against you.
@@sweettreatsoverload4296 - I think maybe you are over reacting a little bit. The poster didn't tell you what to do. That said, I have been mindful of getting rid of extra stuff because I'm getting older and I don't want my energy keeping up with the Home and the stuff in it to slow me down in ministry. Whether or not to make a prayer board public is an interesting dilemma because we are called to pray in secret. But on the other hand it is a beautiful thing to have a record of all of the things God has answered for us. And if posting scripture around the house is helpful to us, that's awesome. I agree that plants can be healthy indoors for most people (some are sensitive to stuff in the soil but that's a special consideration, plus some give off oxygen by day versus by night and that might determine where you would want to put the plant). I have also Learned how unhealthy indoor lighting is, and it's so much worse now with LED fluorescent stuff. TV screens. Computer screens. Phone screens. Candlelight at night would definitely be a healthier choice, ideally something smokeless like beeswax which is expensive, instead of paraffin which is cheap, and it is bad to breathe. It also tends to soil ceilings. That is why many churches insist that people using the sanctuary for weddings have to use beeswax candles. The candle itself doesn't invite the Holy Spirit one way or another. And hopefully we don't have to lean on crutches like candles or plants indoors in order to feel close to God. In fact, if we need those crutches, we should consider that A problem to pay attention to.
Inviting the Holy Spirit into our homes transforms our spaces into sanctuaries of peace and light. What items in your home draw you closer to God's presence?
The idea that certain 'items' can fill your home with the Holy Spirit is intriguing but potentially misleading. Doesn’t focusing on physical objects risk turning faith into superstition? The Holy Spirit isn’t confined to things-it’s about the condition of our hearts, our prayers, and how we live out God’s word. Are we unintentionally encouraging people to rely on material items instead of fostering a deeper relationship with God? Maybe we should focus on spiritual practices rather than physical symbols.
You raise a valid concern-the Holy Spirit’s presence isn’t dependent on physical items but on our faith and relationship with God. However, the message here might be less about the objects themselves and more about how they serve as reminders or tools to inspire prayer, worship, and spiritual focus. For example, having a Bible or Christian artwork can create an atmosphere of reverence, but they’re not a substitute for genuine faith. The emphasis should always be on seeking God directly while using these items as aids to deepen our connection with Him.
I agree. I think it's probably important to get rid of stuff in one's house that is ungodly. The demonic likes to break rules and considers certain kinds of objects as permission to move in and will hang out until kicked out and the object removed. They're like squatters. The Bible has almost nothing to say about home decor. It's mainly about what NOT to do. Through indoctrination and perhaps natural inclination to put barriers between us and our Creator, some people are just very attracted to "holy" objects and images and symbols. I had to shake my head at the part about symbols of communion and fellowship. Just invite the people over and fellowship with them and share communion with them. The objects are incidental to that.
The idea that certain 'items' can fill your home with the Holy Spirit feels a bit materialistic and potentially misleading. The Holy Spirit isn’t dependent on physical objects; it’s about faith, prayer, and a heart devoted to God. Are we oversimplifying spiritual presence by implying it can be enhanced by specific items? Maybe instead of focusing on things, we should encourage practices like prayer, worship, and acts of kindness as the true ways to invite the Holy Spirit into our homes.
You bring up a great point-the Holy Spirit isn’t confined to physical objects, and true spiritual presence comes from our relationship with God. The mention of 'items' could be seen more as symbols or reminders that help us focus our hearts and minds on God. For example, a Bible or worship music can inspire prayer and reflection, but they are tools, not the source of the Spirit. It’s important to emphasize that the Holy Spirit dwells in our hearts and homes through faith and devotion, not through the things we own.
I like C.S. Lewis but this is false according to the bible. Isaiah 42:8 " I am the LORD, that is MY name; And my glory I will not give to another, Nor my praise to carved images". Ephesians 1:13 " In Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your salvation in whom also , having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit of promise". The Holy Spirit is in us at the moment of salvation. We don't need to hang up anything to invite the Holy Spirit in our homes. He is with us everywhere we are. I have scriptures in my home and my church as well but not because they have power, but because they scriptures to read and decorate with. That doesn't bring any power or bring in the Holy Spirit. Study this out for yourself. I did. I am a pastor. And am very careful to rightly divide the scriptures. So you are more than welcome to show me in scripture only, where it says that any of this is true. Without rudeness of coarse. I am commenting on this cause I care and don't want people to be misled or deceived. Deuteronomy 11: 16 " Take heed to yourselves, lest your heart be deceived, and you turn aside and serve other gods and worship them". May God bless you and keep you.
The Word of God is God speaking to mankind. Jesus Christ is the Word of God. John 1:1-12. 1 John 1:1-3. We can use the scriptures ,light in our homes to help our carnal natures realise that God is always with us. Also Hymns and Spiritual Songs.
I disagree. Before I was saved I was invited to a believers home and when I walked in I saw scriptures on the wall and it had an impact t on me. I wanted to know what that meant. I asked God to show me and the hosts Spirit taught me the Bible and now I have been following Jesus for 40 years. Have a blessed day
I will not give GOD'S GLORY to any man, but will Thank JESUS for HIS disciples for Scriptures HE GAVE them. I can't memorize the WHOLE of HIS WORD. Why do you think there are so many men whom JESUS CHRIST gave them the WORD. GOD bless you Sir, you have a fellowship of those who can't do that either. May your day be blessed in JESUS'S NAME. ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊.
Having candles, pictures and other items can remind us of His goodness and His Word but I don’t believe they invite the Holy Spirit in. I believe only WE can invite HIM to live in our hearts and dwell in our homes.
Look there’s no white people in that big picture where there’s a lot of people you forgot us😭 as if we’re not part of Jesus’s crisis family you forgot us
Thank you Ame and Amen in our Almighty Jesus Christ I pray

But I don’t have no money I don’t get to go to work ever again. I have cancer. I don’t have that. I don’t have a nice house.
God knows, He cares about your heart
I'm sorry to hear that are you in a hospital
You've never had a place to live .
This one lady who's in a nursing home wears those rubber bracelets that says Jesus loves you it reminds me every time I help her and take care of her.

How are you going to grow your channel when it’s rammed full of adverts, come on man

Have a blessed week ! Nuff love
