Hearing God
It's difficult to hear God, when you don't have His words abiding in you. One of the ways to hear God is to take His words into your heart, meditating upon it and thinking about it.

Any other means of hearing God without a knowledge of the person or words of God will lead astray. People dream and wrongly interpret, Visions have led people astray, the sense of peace have been falsely believed as a yes from God.
If God's words do not abide in your heart, you will miss God.

Religion at Home

Religious people often prioritize traditions over God's word, even when it contradicts clear biblical teachings. True spirituality requires discernment, not just adherence to rules. As Jesus said, 'The Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath' (Mark 2:27). Let's focus on heart transformation, not just outward compliance.

Religion can become legalistic, dictating every aspect of life. But God's word guides us, not to restrict, but to flourish (John 10:10). We must ensure our practices align with Scripture, not just tradition.

•••Religious people exalt people of the past more than the Word of God and what is clearly stated in Scripture. You remain religious if God's Word can't clearly point out what's wrong, evil, and right in your sight. Religion will destroy the institution of marriage; it cannot withstand time or the pressure of 'new' things. Even if you can bear it, the younger generation will rebel. Religion dictates what to wear, when to eat, and controls your time, affairs, and choices, and even your eternal reward. If your decisions are not based on accurate discernment of God's person and words, you might be making a home for religion and pretense in your home.

Timing

Timing is quite important as many are not aware of the right use of time.
Time is the only thing we all have in common so to say, 24hours.
There is what ought to be in specified times which we can't alter but we ought to know about so that we can either be prepared or be aligned. If evil, we ought to be prepared and if in fulfilment, we ought to be aligned for the bringing to pass of what God has promised.

There is God's timing and if we are not aware about God's timing we wouldn't be aligned and we would keep on being victims of what God have said.

Time is crucial, people can be living at the same present time but in the reality of different times.

People can be living presently together but what is possible for this one in this present time isn't possible for you in this same present time, due to what you have exposed your mind to or what you have engaged yourself to in time past.
My possibilities will not be your possibilities even though we are age mates.

Mental sickness

Sickness is spiritual, mental and physical, and not medical as you have been wrongly taught.

When is sickness mental ?

1. When there are no physical impediments but negative thoughts are holding you bound, you can't think straight and you are always acting in a way like someone is trying to control you through voices and torment you. That is a mental sickness.
It is silly to want to treat voices in the head by drugs, it would dull your senses for a while, but the devil's voice will still ring out loud and clear later on. Even if you can no longer bodily react.

*2* A sickness becomes mental when the devil already makes you mentally assent and accept that the sickness is part of you and there is no way out, such can't be cured by prayers first but by right knowledge of God's word. People are in mental bo***ge such as self-hate, loneliness and hopelessness seek way out through various means.

The feelings stay not just because of an event or imbalance in the body, it stays and grows because the person has accepted mentally the emotion as a part of them. If teachings are not done to disentangle themselves from the spirit, the devil will keep coming back even if cast out by prayers.

Knowledge based decisions

Every knowledge has a path it leads to. Decisions are made based on available knowledge and resources. No one fails in life without making decisions; so, your decision is either based on a wrong knowledge leading to failure, or right knowledge leading to success. Every decision has the path it leads to.

You must be sure of the path the decision you are taking leads to. You don't have to get to the end of the road to know it will not take you—or that you are journeying wrongly.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." (Proverbs 3:5-6)

Take wise counsel, learn the path of every knowledge, and be sure about what you are doing.
Proverbs 4:26, "Ponder the path of your feet, and let all your ways be established."

This verse encourages thoughtful consideration of your choices and direction. Are the choices of God?

The Art of Listening in a Relationship

_Being a good listener in order to hear your partner out on their point of view_:
Many people are not good listeners even though they think they are. They just wait to see you stop talking so they can say what is in their mind; if you are the type that communicates that way, you can’t be effective in your relationship. A good communicator continually shows genuine interest in the partner’s conversation, he/she suspends his/her thoughts or writes them somewhere until the partner is done talking. Most times we just want to exchange information when we go out with our partners, we should try to avoid that as much as possible in our relationship.

People want to be listened to; people want you to comment on what they are saying not just change the topic. Until you learn the art of listening by asking the right questions after your partner speaks to you, you will not grow into certain levels of intimacy. Questions like 'why are you telling me this?' 'That must have hurt?' 'How does that make you feel?', 'Hope you are over it now?' *Note*: for a woman, emotional support is everything to her, until she perceives that you are feeling what she is feeling you are not communicating on the same level yet. *Note:* for a man, if you want details, you must learn to ask questions. Men don't communicate for emotional bonding all the time; they communicate to pass information which can be passed anytime amid their conversation. If you will be a good listener, you must know and observe what is being passed and how you ought to come in.

The Distortion of Self-Image
Many people struggle with self-esteem issues due to their physical appearance. Some may desire to change their skin tone, height, or body shape, often due to a distorted view of themselves. This distorted view can stem from childhood experiences, such as parental criticism and comparison.
For instance, when parents constantly compare and insult their children based on their body structure. This behavior can lead to a negative self-image, as children internalize the message that they are not good enough. A child who is constantly told they are not as smart or talented as their sibling may begin to believe they are inferior. Similarly, a child who is criticized for their physical appearance may develop a negative body image. What a child sees as handsome and beautiful comes from the perspective of his/her parents.
The consequences of this distorted self-image can be severe. Some individuals may turn to extreme measures, such as plastic surgery or disordered eating, in an attempt to change their appearance and gain acceptance. Others may struggle with depression, anxiety, or low self-esteem, as they feel they do not measure up to societal standards of beauty.

Self Image

It is important to recognize that our physical appearance does not define our worth. We are more than our bodies, and our value lies in our character, Christ, and our knowledge of God. By recognizing and challenging these distorted views, we can work towards a more positive and inclusive definition of beauty, one that celebrates diversity and individuality. Your body is not who you are.
Ultimately, it is up to each of us to redefine what beauty means, and to promote a culture of self-acceptance and self-love. By doing so, we can break free from the harmful effects of distorted self-image, and embrace our unique qualities and strengths.

_*👑 Walking in Divine Health*_
Divine healing is to establish divine health. You will not always need divine healing if you are walking in divine health.

_💡 What is Divine Health?_
Divine health is the ability of God in you to live without sickness. It's the working of God in you that is permitted by right knowledge of what Christ has perfected (John 8:32, 36). Divine health is the understanding of the nature of God in you that assures you that you can't be sick (1 Peter 2:24). It is understanding what Christ has done that gives freedom from the powers of Satan and his oppression (Colossians 1:13; Luke 10:17-18).

Excerpt from "Overcoming Low Self Esteem"
Don't believe the lie that you're not good enough - you are a new creation in Christ! And you are accepted in the beloved.
Don't give up. Keep seeking God and His truth, and He will reveal more of your new nature to you.
_Benefits of Understanding Your New Nature_
•Increased confidence and self-worth.
•Joy and peace in your relationship with God.
•Effective ministry and impact on others.
•Freedom from inferiority complexes and negative self-talk.

What Sickness is

What is sickness? (Acts 10:38, Luke 13:10, 4:17-18, Luke 10).
Sicknesses aren't new – existed before now: Epilepsy (Mat 4:24), Paralysis (4:24), Lunatic (4:24). All healed → all sickness has supernatural solutions.
Man names sickness; God calls it _infirmities, disease, oppression of the devil_ (e.g., born blind Jn 9:4, woman with issue of blood Mk 5:25, Mat 17:15).
Sickness isn't a _medical_ problem – it's spiritual, mental, physical. We've been taught it is "medical" so at at the sign of sickness , we rush to the doctors first and when the case is beyond medical help, we then seek God
God's word does not to seek the doctors, it says do _spiritual_ first (Js 5:14) – Why we do it last?

One Gospel

There's only one gospel – we're either accepting it or we don't know the right one, so we grab anything that sounds good 😊. Galatians 1:9 says, _if anyone preaches another gospel than what you received, let them be accursed_.

Today's case: many gospels fly around because people don't know the right one. Some preach "acceptability" as long as there is a "common ground" – won't work.
The sign you're sent by God: you present His message rightly (unless you're a double agent). God isn't an author of confusion, won't send with another gospel.
If people don't know the right one, they'll keep choosing/accepting anyone in God's name.
