Create in Me a Clean Heart

9 Hide thy face from my sins, And blot out all mine iniquities. 10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; And renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; And take not thy holy Spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; And uphold me with a willing spirit. — Psalm 51:9-12 | American Standard Version (ASV) The American Standard Version Bible is in the public domain.

Links & Quotes

Some links and quotes that caught my eye this week.

There’s no secret formula to fruitfulness as a Christian. We just stay connected to Jesus and the fruit will grow. This clip is from this sermon. I have lots of new content every week, which you can check out on my YouTube channel. The “Ten Commandments” are not explicitly listed or reiterated in the New Testament. Does that mean they are obsolete? No, says David Mathis, it means they are…

dating in-system

dating in-system…. has its pros and cons

like it’s easy to feel like our love is invisible, especially to others. we get seen by the world as a solitary person. i can’t share the best parts of our life with most people. i can’t take selfies of us or make instagram posts or celebrate our love in the thousand casual ways that the couples around us do; there’s no common parlance for what we are but i want tooo because i swear my life is full of so much love and looking at us from the outside you simply don’t see into the experience of Being This Entity

thankfully art exists ^^ {and tumblr}

like i mean this is all the time. if we’re eating, walking to the store, standing around talking casually.. there’s always another dialogue going on

we've been traveling around italy having an invisibly romantic time

Immeasurably More

What’s the boldest prayer you can think to pray? Or the most incredible thing you can dare to imagine? Did you know that God can top it? Paul said it like this:  “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us…” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭3‬:‭20‬ ‭NIV‬‬ You know those quiet dreams in your heart? God put them there. You know that…

BENEFITS OF GOD IN THE PSALMS - 1

The enemy continues to try to bring disgrace and discredit the people of God through spiritual blindness – blindness that is caused by the lack of looking and gazing into the face of God as a regular exercise of intimate worship or the lack of CONFESSING and MEDITATING on the Scriptures to find food for the soul and nourishment for the spiritual eyes.

As a communion with God in praise and worship, affirm out loud each of the below "Psalm verse affirmations" 5 times per day.  Also, use them as a prayerful meditation as you go throughout the day.

If I meditate on God's Word, all that I do will prosper. (Psalm 1:2,3)

God is a shield about me. (Psalm 3:3)

I am not afraid of ten thousands of people for the Lord sustains me. (Psalm 3:6)

In peace I will both lie down and sleep; four you alone, O Lord, makes me dwell in safety. (Psalm 4:8)

My shield is with God who saves the upright in heart. (Psalm 7:10)

The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble, And I know Your name and put my trust in you, O Lord, You have not forsaken me since I seek You.  (Psalm 9:9-10)

I will sing to the Lord because He has dealt bountifully with me, I have trusted in His steadfast love;  My heart shall rejoice in His salvation.  (Psalm 13:5-6)

I bless the Lord who gives me counsel.  (Psalm 16:7)

I keep the Lord always before me;  because He is at my right hand, I shall not be moved.  He shows me the path of life -- in Your presence, there is fullness of joy.  In Your right hand are pleasures for evermore.  (Psalm 16:8,11)

Following Along with Algorithm

I will interact with whoever I want because the more I learn about how algorithm works in tumblr, I realized tumblr asking for everyone to interact with everyone. Tumblr said it not me which I will abide to that since I don’t care what everyone thinks of me, but I will damn like posts and follow up everyone I like! I am not invading everyone’s personal spaces when tumblr is an all open book that means everyone can interact with each other in public. Just be honest and like art you actually like if you do.

I got prosperity.

[his24-7]

(His24-7.com)    John 15:1-8 All through the New Testament you can see that spiritual fruit is expected from the Christian life.  Jesus tells us, “You shall know them by their fruit.”It is very important to note that the fruit the Lord expects in our lives is not the goal of the Christian, but the proof, or evidence of our abiding in Him.

٤ اثبتوا فيَّ وانا فيكم. كما ان الغصن لا يقدر ان يأْتي بثمرٍ من ذاتهِ ان لم يثبت في الكرمة كذلك انتم ايضًا ان لم تثبتوا فيَّ. ٥ انا الكرمة وانتم الاغصان. الذي يثبت فيَّ وانا فيهِ هذا يأْتي بثمرٍ كثير. لانكم بدوني لا تقدرون ان تفعلوا شيئًا.

Abide in me, and I will abide in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you bear fruit unless you abide in me. I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me, and I in him, bears much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. — John 15:4-5 | Arabic Bible (Smith & Van Dyke) and The Text-Critical English New Testament (TCENT) The Arabic Bible, Translated by Smith & Van Dyke (1865) is in the public domain and the Text-Critical English New Testament an edition of the Byzantine (Majority) Greek text edited by Robinson and Pierpont Copyright © 2022 Robert Adam Boyd.

Always Ready

When God brings needy people across my path, He has done this so that I can give them something substantial—something eternally significant.

I just love love love that there’s a guy wandering about Dungeon Meshi going, ‘but what are the socioeconomic and geopolitical consequences of this fantasy quest adventure, both while it’s ongoing and after its inevitable completion?! The skillset required to find and kill a Mad Mage is different than that required to responsibly, benevolently and effectively rule a kingdom. I personally must either find a good candidate, somehow make one, or, most likely, take on the whole Mageslayer/King role myself.” Except he doesn’t have the first skillset, and his whole party keeps dying while these highly competent chucklefucks wander past, kill and eat the monster, and save their bodies for the nth time. Kabru would demand to know if Aragorn is familiar with Gondorin tax law. His isekai energy is off the charts, because this is all exactly what I would do if dropped into a fantasy quest adventure, right down to repeatedly dying due to not actually being suited to the genre conventions.
