Scripture of The Day – August 13, 2024

Many feel as if they are up against a gate in their life and are desperate to see breakthrough.  Your identity of being "in Christ" will set you up for breakthrough.

Hebrews 13:12 says, "And so Jesus also suffered outside the city gate to make the people holy through His own Blood."

Jesus suffered outside the gate so that you could possess your gates! Not only have you been made holy, but you are a royal priesthood (1 Peter 2:9) and co-heir with Christ (Romans 8:17).

You have been seated with Him in heavenly places (Ephesians 2:6) and He has been seated "far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come" (Ephesians 1:21).

The foundational knowledge of your identity in Christ (Luke 19:11-27) is a necessary key for possessing your gates. With this heart knowledge, you can step boldly into the authority He has given you.

The Beauty & Power of God

When we look at the moon and stars, we see the beauty of God. When we look at the sun, we see the power of God. When we look in the mirror, we see the reason why Christ shed His blood at Calvary. We are Ambassadors, and God is our Father. He has already set our itinerary, reservation and destination… ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Ephesians 2:5-10Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with…

The Captain Of Your Team

Last night’s football game was delightful, exhilarating, and outstanding. For our home team. Last night’s football game was something very different for the team that didn’t get a single score. Oh beloved, the truth is – sometimes we are gonna feel like the winners, sometimes we’re gonna feel like the losers. Nobody likes to lose at anything. Everybody wants to be the winner, know the winners…

His Diamond in the Rough

Context: Ephesians 3: 1-21 Focus: Ephesians 3: 8-10 “To me, though I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ, and to bring to light for everyone what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God, who created all things, so that through the church the manifold (multifaceted) wisdom of God might now be made known to…

FEMALE MOVIE/TV RECS (PART 5 / HORROR & CRIME DRAMA)

got inspired from a recommendation post so decided to make a list of movies and shows with female-centric stories/female protagonists. since i can't post all of the genres in one post, i'll split it into multiple posts and y'all can save or add to the list as you wish. (disclaimer: i have watched most of these, but i only know about the existence of others. not every movie/show on these lists will be my recommendation. my recommendations will be beneath the list with reasons. also some of these are way better than others in terms of storytelling/performance--which is why i'll list my faves separately):

Common Themes:

-Dangerous girls (they ain't innocent)/ girlhood as violent

-Stressed out and melancholic female detectives and authors (lots of drinking/smoking)

-Mothers who've seen too fucking much to play games/I'm a good mother until it doesn't let up

-Women handling shit/getting shit done

-Mothers who didn't want to be mothers but here we fucking are so might as well handle shit

-Evil women who are also unfortunately hot

-Female sociopaths (not always negatively portrayed)

GOOD STUFF (NEVER WATCHING AGAIN THOUGH!)

Candy (7.5/10) (she's just a killer lol)

Cruella (6.5/10)(help my mom is a narcissist and it's hereditary)

Jennifer's Body (7/10) (boys aren't people lmao)

Bird Box (8/10)

Under the Bridge (8/10)

PERSONAL NOTES

I watched Tragedy Girls years ago, and I remember being grossed out and having a lot of fun as well. If you like Jennifer's Body, you'll probably like Tragedy Girls, too. And if you like Tragedy Girls, you may also enjoy Thoroughbreds. All three have a twisted sense of girlpower.

The Call isn't scary so much as its nerve-wracking and upsetting. It's not gory (although there is violence), but it deals with heavy subject matter. I can, however, promise a satisfying ending. Even though I doubt it would put you at ease.

Horror is my least favourite genre so bear that in mind. I just hate jump scares (because I hate being startled) and I don't like gore though there are times where it doesn't bother me so much. So this is definitely not an exhaustive list on horror recs. Crime is as close as I usually get to such dark stuff so I put the dark crimes, psychological thrillers and horrors together. I don't even want to talk about these that much because I'm nauseous already.

Watch at your own risk.

How God's Plan Comes Together

There were many a time in the past when Satan outsmarted Israel with deception and caused her to break her covenant with God and violate his promises. His reason for doing so was to claim ownership of the kingdom of Israel, as he already owned its other kingdoms because they were God’s enemies. Satan could only offer the kingdoms of the world to Jesus because he owned them. Matthew 4:8-9 –…

im thinking about celestia and the abyss being literal opposites (chaos and order) and im thinking about childe and lumine being sort of embodiments of that, just not in the way we think. after the latest natlan quest its clear to us what the fatui intends and what they want- i think the tsaritsa more than anything loves humanity, which is why she directly opposes celestia who are known for bringing down different civilizations. childe, as Her weapon and Her blade is an extenction of that: he's a blade forged by the abyss, bathed in Her holyness, meant to strike down those who sin. lumine (talking solely about traveler lumine) is the literal sister of the prince of the abyss, she has clear ties to it and at this point in the story still is hesitant about fully opposing him (i love angst). her entire story revolves around chaose and disrupting celestia's (and the fatui's) order. isnt that fun

i think what childe longs for the most is control- control of himself, his life, his powers, his story, his fate. i think what lumine wants the most is freedom, which is just another phacet of chaos

anyways. you see it. the themes are theming

In Christ Alone

Context: Ephesians 1:1-23 Focus: Ephesians 1: 3-4 “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ,(My Emphasis) just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him.” Ephesians 1: 3-4  “In Christ” speaks of the position of those who make up the Body…

“So your name is?

“Michael Morningstar.”

“Hmm. You share the same last name as our king.”

“Indeed.”

“You also look very alike.”

“Mhm.”

“You even have six wings.”

“Yes. I do in fact have six wings.”

“You’re also a fallen angel.”

“I am.”

“Huh. How interesting.” *examines closer* “you’re also very short.”

“Unfortunately.”

“Circles on cheeks.”

“Yes. They’re very round.”

Slides finger on the side of his face making him wince slightly uncomfortable, “very pale skin too.”

“Being made of light does that to you.”

“No nose.”

“Slits to be in fact.”

The doctor breathes heavily while placing his hands on hips, “I’ve gotten to the conclusion that you’re a perfect doppelgänger of his majesty!”

Michael blinks unfazed by this conclusion.

Lucifer burst through the door, “so how’s my brother, doc?”

“I was just making my analysis, I was about to receipt him a beach tan, oh, and I was also pointing out how many similarities he shares with you that I could almost say you two are family.”

Lucifer and Michael blink twice.

“Nooo, really? My brother the archangel Michael the bitch that casted me to hell be related to me?? Who would’ve thought that?” Lucifer annoyingly rolled his eyes with sarcasm, “soo? Is he sick or not.”

“Well. It doesn’t seem he has any injuries or carrying any illnesses, mostly signs of exhaustion due to the impact of the fall. Aside from that, he’s fine. Just requires some rest and a serious amount of tan sprayer.”

Lucifer scratches his scalp anxious and mostly frustrated, “that doesn’t explain why he fell!” Lucifer then turns to look at Michael, “are you sure you don’t remember shit about what happened before you fell?? Like anything bad, anything sinful??”

Michael denies with his head.
