learn from the darkness

I know that sounds different , or hard to understand

But learn from the pain and sorrow you experience. Learn what is going on, on this planet. Learn what the Bible is revealing to you about this place. See through experience , while the world might leave you or abandon you, what’s within you is ALWAYS with you. And will never leave you. What’s within you will hold you up. (Get to know what’s within you). This is a great blessing.( The Bible says the Hope of Glory, Christ in you. )

There’s lots of false information. Stay observant. Use discernment. Pray. Use more discernment. And be receptive. And trust God. You might not fully believe or understand. But trust God. Acknowledge him in all your ways, and he will make your paths straight.

Experience the light you have within. (Which shines super bright and is not dim.)

Yes in the world the light is dim. And it’s eye full of darkness. But within you the light is radiant, and eye full of light.

So be a bright shining light . So all can see your love. And give respect to God. And offer hope in this valley of darkness. Those who seek the light will find you, and you can fill their cup. Literally emulating Jesus. But it isn’t fill your cup with material thing. It’s filling it with truth and wisdom and love. Redemption. Although being charitable to the poor is still great.

Also Jesus said something like a light isn’t lit to be hidden it’s lit to shine to all.


The weather is stormy and the road is rocky:

The world is going to hit you with a right punch, then a left punch , then it backs off a bit to let you stew in your mind and be tormented in your mind, then an upper cut.

There you are

Sh*t beaten of you

Not wanting to do anything.

Full of fear and doubt.

World got the best of you.

Bruised and broken.

But come on guys. That’s the world. Duh it gets stormy. And rocky. Especially for those who believe. So be an overcomer . Jesus said be of good cheer, I have already overcome the world. Bible also says those who endure until the end will receive the crown of life. So endure! And if you fall down, dust yourself off and get back up (and God might just exalt you higher than you ever could imagine) (maybe some experiences happened to us that hurt , but it helped us grow in humility and truth. ). It starts with step one. Getting back up on your feet.

So if you are down. And low. I know how you feel.

But just get up.

Even if you are so empty.

Get up.

Take it one day at a time.

Don’t leave a heavy burden on your shoulder.

God doesn’t do that. We do it to ourselves . We make such high expectations. How about some compassion torwards ourselves and allowing ourselves to love… before we have the biggest revival earth has ever seen.(revival!) This way we can love truly.

Try your best to live a happy life , be kind to others, pray, offer mercy, help the downtrodden , be charitable to the poor. Offer peace and love to the oppressed. Speak words of life . These are things we can control. Many things are out of our control. But these things are within our control.




Negativity creeping in and fear and doubt:

When that negativity creeps in. Stand strong! Speak with power within. Assure yourself your an overcomer and won’t let the negativity consume you. Speak and know: “ NO. Negativity. I will not let you take control of me today.”

But if the negativity does creep in and you can’t fight it. Give it to God first off. That level of intense angst can only be given to God truly. Don’t be down on yourself. Maybe do something kind for yourself. Like having a milkshake . Simple as that. ( vegans im sorry your doomed) (LOL kidding)

If you are down, and have let the negativity consume you. Don’t just give up. Don’t just stay down. Listen to some awesome music. Make some art. Or go for a 30 minute walk. And I know at first, being negative or depressed, you might not want to go for a walk. But go for a walk anyways. It’s healthy and it does help. Many times I have had negativity and depression cripple me. When you are that low , it’s hard to see the future being positive too. But I walk and just breathe and try to see the good. Walking has greatly helped me. And I hope it can help you too!

So please, see the good.

You are so important to God.

He invites us to his table.

How cool is that ?

You've been very encouraging lately to me (and I'm sure other believers on GLP as well) and I really appreciate it.

What's your secret? lol. Whatever it is, keep it up!

Re: Hold on fellow believers. The road is rocky. The weather is stormy. The light is dim. Negativity is creeping in. Fear even.
Being a watchman and not letting anyone deceive me in anyway requires a lot of news intake (much of it negative) in order to stay awake and aware. It can really wear a person down. Especially overindulging in GLP doom threads.

Sometimes I think that a lot of this stuff has always been going on, but now it all comes to the surface as this is the news people feed on because they are addicted to fear and need their next fix. This is all they report on, but there is still good stories out there too.

Lately, I have been really depressed. Sometimes I stay in bed up to 40+ hours praying and falling asleep and waking up and praying (and obviously to use the bathroom lol). It's been hard. My wife left me and took my kids 5 hours away so I am all alone here as I am originally from the US (Philly). In this intense loneliness, I have built a deeper relationship with God in prayer and when I'm not checking GLP or the news, I'm listening to good preachers on Youtube or just listening to the Word of God.

I've been thinking about doing some narration of the Bible but I'm not sure I'm gifted for it or not. I've done Revelation, but it didn't get that many listens so I'm not sure this is what I'm supposed to do. There are many narrations of the Bible out there, so mine may just be getting lost in the ocean out there.

Anyway, just thought I would share. Here is my narration of Revelation if anyone wants to listen. God bless those that are really struggling out there.

YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!

Hey!

Love to you also from USA!

I’m glad you are staying encouraged. Thanks for your kind words.

I know when I’m down and others have encouraged me. Or God himself encourages me. I know how that feels. That sense of Hope and goodness. So I feel it’s only right to pay it forward. And I want everyone to have love.

Sometimes when I’m very depressed. I stay in bed for 16 plus hours. But I’m normally very sad so the fact your praying without cease is very commendable. But also take time to rest and take care of you too. God wants you to be joyful! (At least that’s my opinion). I’m sorry your wife left you and took your kids. It isn’t over. Just try not to dwell and I know that’s difficult. Sometimes I wonder what the heck am I supposed to do. And I usually get the answer : love.

The world wants you bitter. It wants you depressed. This is supposed to be such a joyous life yet we are consumed by chaos and sadness. Own what’s yours. A good life. A life of love. A life of peace. That’s what you are meant for.

The evil one wants you to feel defiled

God has your back. You are whole through him.

Sometimes your purpose is just to be kind to yourself. I can’t tell you your purpose. But maybe make a list in a journal what you are good at and what your strengths are. Maybe take some online classes on psychology or history. Join a bowling club. (Just throwing out suggestions)


I know you said you wouldn’t harm yourself

But I want to list this :

Suicide prevention hotline

800-273-8255

They also have a chat available too



It looks like it’s always getting worse. Not true. Your future is full of goodness. Just take the first step to not let the depression cripple you. And if it does cripple you still show yourself love even in the depression.

I have had depression for the last 14 years. But I don’t let it define me. And I fight it. But sometimes it just brings you all the way down. And we just have to hold onto hope and try to get back up

What you tube preachers do you recommend ?


I listen to a lot of different preachers from even different denominations and different eschatological views.

- Keith Malcomson from Limerick City Church in Ireland (this guy is my FAVORITE PREACHER as he speaks hardcore truth and is SO spirit filled _ but not the knock down speaking in tongues type_ and he is very passionate and if you listen to him, YOU WILL GROW spiritually 100%)

[link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

- JD Farag (although I'm not a pre-tribber, I find him very truthful and comforting)

[link to www.jdfarag.org]

- Arnold Murray from Shepherd's Chapel ( I like how he goes through the bible. Even though I don't believe in all his views, I get bible reading and mostly good teaching and his live channel stays on while I am on pc so I don't have to search much. I love his question and answer session at the end of every teaching. So informative.)

This is a 24 hour a day live feed of continual teaching. Arnold passed a few years ago and his son Dennis teaches also but it's mainly Arnold's teachings. His son is very good too!



- Dough Batchelor Amazing Facts (I am not a 7th Day Adventist but he doesn't get much into Ellen G. White at all and is a solid Bible teacher and I like how the Seventh Day Adventists deal with prophecy more so than other denominations)

[link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

- Walter Veith Amazing Discoveries (this guy is also Seventh Day but gosh he deals with some deep stuff about the NWO and a lot of the Seventh Day crowd distance themselves from him

[link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

- John MacArthur Grace to You (he is a solid reformed preacher and exposits the Word like no other, but again I don't agree with his view on Revelation and pre-trib pre millenial views)

[link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

- RC Sproul Ligonier Ministries (He is one of my favs even though he passed in 2018. He is solid and focuses on the Holiness of God and is a very deep theologian that deals with difficult meaty topics I like)

This video is a live feed that loops but has many, many really really good videos that many will find so interesting and love!



- Steven J. Lawson (He is a fiery passionate reformed baptist preacher that will have you repenting and rejoicing at the same time because you are hearing solid truth from the pulpit... he's also closely affiliated with RC Sproul and Ligonier Ministries



There are others but that is my main list.. Didn't want a wall of text haha...

Hope this blesses you and others!!

Full of fear and doubt.

World got the best of you.

Bruised and broken.

But come on guys. That’s the world. Duh it gets stormy. And rocky. Especially for those who believe. So be an overcomer . Jesus said be of good cheer, I have already overcome the world. Bible also says those who endure until the end will receive the crown of life. So endure! And if you fall down, dust yourself off and get back up (and God might just exalt you higher than you ever could imagine) (maybe some experiences happened to us that hurt , but it helped us grow in humility) . It starts with step one. Getting back up on your feet.

So if you are down. And low. I know how you feel.

But just get up.

Even if you are so empty.

Get up.

Take it one day at a time.

Don’t leave a heavy burden on your shoulder.

God doesn’t do that. We do it to ourselves . We make such high expectations. How about some compassion torwards ourselves and allowing ourselves to love… before we have the biggest revival earth has ever seen.(revival!) This way we can love truly.

Try your best to live a happy life , be kind to others, pray, offer mercy, help the downtrodden , be charitable to the poor. Offer peace and love to the oppressed. Speak words of life . These are things we can control. Many things are out of our control. But these things are within our control.




Negativity creeping in and fear and doubt:

When that negativity creeps in. Stand strong! Speak with power within. Assure yourself your an overcomer and won’t let the negativity consume you. Speak and know: “ NO. Negativity. I will not let you take control of me today.”

But if the negativity does creep in and you can’t fight it. Give it to God first off. That level of intense angst can only be given to God truly. Don’t be down on yourself. Maybe do something kind for yourself. Like having a milkshake . Simple as that. ( vegans im sorry your doomed) (LOL kidding)

If you are down, and have let the negativity consume you. Don’t just give up. Don’t just stay down. Listen to some awesome music. Make some art. Or go for a 30 minute walk. And I know at first, being negative or depressed, you might not want to go for a walk. But go for a walk anyways. It’s healthy and it does help. Many times I have had negativity and depression cripple me. When you are that low , it’s hard to see the future being positive too. But I walk and just breathe and try to see the good. Walking has greatly helped me. And I hope it can help you too!

So please, see the good.

You are so important to God.

He invites us to his table.

How cool is that ?

Sometimes when I’m very depressed. I stay in bed for 16 plus hours. But I’m normally very sad so the fact your praying without cease is very commendable. But also take time to rest and take care of you too. God wants you to be joyful! (At least that’s my opinion). I’m sorry your wife left you and took your kids. It isn’t over. Just try not to dwell and I know that’s difficult. Sometimes I wonder what the heck am I supposed to do. And I usually get the answer : love.

What you tube preachers do you recommend ?


I listen to a lot of different preachers from even different denominations and different eschatological views.

- Keith Malcomson from Limerick City Church in Ireland (this guy is my FAVORITE PREACHER as he speaks hardcore truth and is SO spirit filled _ but not the knock down speaking in tongues type_ and he is very passionate and if you listen to him, YOU WILL GROW spiritually 100%)

[link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

- JD Farag (although I'm not a pre-tribber, I find him very truthful and comforting)

[link to www.jdfarag.org]

- Arnold Murray from Shepherd's Chapel ( I like how he goes through the bible. Even though I don't believe in all his views, I get bible reading and mostly good teaching and his live channel stays on while I am on pc so I don't have to search much. I love his question and answer session at the end of every teaching. So informative.)

This is a 24 hour a day live feed of continual teaching. Arnold passed a few years ago and his son Dennis teaches also but it's mainly Arnold's teachings. His son is very good too!



- Dough Batchelor Amazing Facts (I am not a 7th Day Adventist but he doesn't get much into Ellen G. White at all and is a solid Bible teacher and I like how the Seventh Day Adventists deal with prophecy more so than other denominations)

[link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

- Walter Veith Amazing Discoveries (this guy is also Seventh Day but gosh he deals with some deep stuff about the NWO and a lot of the Seventh Day crowd distance themselves from him

[link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

- John MacArthur Grace to You (he is a solid reformed preacher and exposits the Word like no other, but again I don't agree with his view on Revelation and pre-trib pre millenial views)

[link to www.youtube.com (secure)]

- RC Sproul Ligonier Ministries (He is one of my favs even though he passed in 2018. He is solid and focuses on the Holiness of God and is a very deep theologian that deals with difficult meaty topics I like)

This video is a live feed that loops but has many, many really really good videos that many will find so interesting and love!



- Steven J. Lawson (He is a fiery passionate reformed baptist preacher that will have you repenting and rejoicing at the same time because you are hearing solid truth from the pulpit... he's also closely affiliated with RC Sproul and Ligonier Ministries



There are others but that is my main list.. Didn't want a wall of text haha...

Hope this blesses you and others!!

I am interested to watch these.

Thank you.


Also:
Can you elaborate on the statement you made saying 7th day Adventist deal with more prophecy than other denominations ?
I will dwell in you. And you in me. And I will walk with my people .

In times of war, one must be a warrior. And make no mistake, we're all in this war, both physically and spiritually, whether we want to be or not.

It’s hard for me to take compliments. But thank you. I assure you this thread was not planned lol.

I tell others don’t be so hard on yourself, and don’t keep a heavy burden , yet I used to be very hard on myself and hold onto burden, and even now sometimes I put unrealistic expectations on my life and hold onto unnecessary burden. For years I held onto all this pressure and worry. But lately God has been easing this burden. And I learned what his peace is. And I was able to let go. And it was so freeing . Yes I still fall down and sin, but it doesn’t have power over me anymore. It doesn’t define me. The only power over me is Jesus Christ, and he defines me in him. And I’m happy with that !
I will dwell in you. And you in me. And I will walk with my people .
