Help Us Move from Danger to Opportunity

We urgently need your help to evacuate our families from the Gaza war, a horrible situation of imminent danger, to a safer and more fruitful environment. The conditions here are dire, with daily threats to our safety and well-being. The journey to a safer location is expensive, and we cannot do it alone.

Every penny counts to provide a better life for our children. Your support and contribution you can provide would be immensely appreciated. Your generosity will make a significant difference to our lives that have been affected. 

Thank you for contributing to our children's brighter future!

With love and hope,

Lutfi

Laziness is like a weed. Weeds can do a number of things, but mostly, they compete with crops for nutrients while also robbing them of water, light, and space. Weeds also release substances that prevent crop growth, hinder crop development, and host pests and pathogens that attack healthy crops.

Likewise, laziness steals the nutrients that we need in order to nurture our God-given gifts and talents. It stunts our spiritual growth and prevents us from developing in our relationship with God. Laziness, especially in our faith, welcomes and invites demonic influence in our lives, ultimately plaguing any healthy fruit that may have already been produced. And in the end, we inevitably become unfruitful.

An idle apple tree that refuses to yield edible apples in the kingdom of God serves no purpose and will be hewn down.

IF YOU ARE READING THIS, THAN YOU HAVE FOUND HER.

BEHOLD ABUNDANTIA,THE GOOD GODDESS. WEALTH, ABUNDANCE,BOUNTIFULNESS, RICHNESS, FORTUNE.

In Roman religion, Abundantia was the personification of prosperity and abundance. She was a beautiful goddess who was known for bringing grain and money in a cornucopia to the mortals as they slept. Let’s take a closer look at the goddess and the role she played in Roman mythology.

Abundantia’s parentage is unknown as there are hardly any records about the goddess. What is known is that she presided over the flow of money, valuables, fortune, prosperity and success. Her name was derived from the word ‘abundantis’ which means riches or plenty in Latin.

Abundantia was almost always depicted with a cornucopia over her shoulder. The cornucopia, also known as the ‘horn of plenty’, is a symbol closely associated with the goddess and signifies what she stands for: abundance and prosperity. Sometimes her cornucopia contains fruit but at other times it carries gold coins, which magically spill out of it.

Some sources say that Abundantia was a vision of exceptional beauty and purity. Just like she was beautiful on the outside, she was also beautiful on the inside. She was a lovely, patient and kind goddess who took pleasure in helping people and was very generous with her gifts.

In Greece, Abundantia was identified with Eirene, the goddess of wealth and prosperity. She was also often identified with the Gallic goddess of prosperity, known as Rosmerta. The goddess was also popular among gamblers who called her ‘Lady Fortune’ or ‘Lady Luck’.

The Romans believed that their deities took control of everything that went on in their lives and, just like in Greek mythology, every task and occupation had a Roman god or goddess presiding over it.

Abundantia’s role was to help mortals with everything related to money and financial success. She would help people to make major purchases, influencing and guiding them to protect their investments and savings and to wisely handle their finances.

The goddess also had the power to remove all the concerns and worries that people had about money. This was useful since she helped eliminate negativity in their lives due to financial worries. In this way, she not only brought them wealth and prosperity, but she also brought them success and good fortune. Her cornucopia was said to be filled with coins and grain which she would occasionally leave at people’s doorsteps as a little gift.

According to Ovid, the Augustan poet, Abundantia featured in the myth of the river god Achelous. The legendary Greek hero, Heracles, had defeated Achelous by ripping off one of his horns. The Naiads, who were nymphs in Greek mythology, took the horn and turned it into a Cornucopia and gifted it to Abundantia to use. This is only one version of the Cornucopia’s origin but there are many other myths that provide various explanations.

In some accounts, the Cornucopia was said to be a horn of Amaltheia, the mystical she-goat which Jupiter, the god of the sky, broke off by accient. To comfort Amaltheia, Jupiter caused it to keep refilling itself with food and drink. Later, the horn went into the hands of Abundantia but how it happened isn’t exactly clear. Some say that Jupiter gifted it to her to use.

THE WORSHIP OF ABUNDANCE

As a minor goddess, there were very few temples that were specifically dedicated to Abundantia. The Romans worshipped her by making offerings and praying to her. Their offerings included milk, honey, fruit, flowers, grain and wine and they also sacrificed birds and animals in her name. In Roman religion, the gender of the sacrificed animal was supposed to correspond to the gender of the deity to whom the animal was being offered. Because of this, sacrifices that were made to Abundantia were a cow, heifer, female bird, sow or a white ewe.

Abundantia was a minor goddess in Roman mythology, but she was one of the most loved deities of the Roman pantheon. The Ancient Romans revered her because they believed she eased their worries and helped them in their times of financial difficulty.

HER IMAGE

The goddess of abundance and prosperity was depicted on Roman coins that were issued in the 3rd century CE. On the coins, she’s portrayed seated on a chair with her famous symbols, the Cornucopia, which she holds or tips over slightly to make the riches pour out. She’s sometimes depicted on coins with ears of wheat and at other times, she stands on a ship’s prow, representing the Roman Empire’s overseas conquests.

IF YOU ARE A HEATHEN OR A HEDONIST OF A PURE HEART, OR CAN APPROACH THIS GODDESS WITH THE SAME LEVEL OF LOVE, RESPECT, AND COMPASSION AS YOU WOULD A LOVING CARING MOTHER, YOU CAN DEFINITELY COUNT ON HER TO LEAN ON FOR SUPPORT. YOU YOU ARE SEEKING GREATER WEALTH OR ARE INVOLVED IN FEEDERISM AND SEEKING TO BETTER PROVIDE AND STOCK UO ON FOOD, SHES YOUR GODDESS, SO LONG AS YOUR A GOOD PERSON AT HEART THAT IS.

BECOMING FRUITFUL

 John 15:5, “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.”

The Lord Jesus gives us this divine union by the Spirit so that we can bear fruit that remains for His Kingdom. All the vine has is made available to the branches -- to give us what we need to be fruitful. The perpetual flow of the Holy Spirit provides for us on a constant, daily basis.

As we grow, through revelation, in our understanding of God’s purpose for our life, living in our Christ identity as God’s sons and daughters and our true riches in His glory, we will live out of that supply.

When we don’t know what we already have, we are limited, but when revelation comes (through affirming and meditating on His Word that has to do with understanding who we are in Christ) we become aware of the boldness in Christ that we already possess (see 1 Corinthians 2:12), which will be manifested in the lives we will be changing.

LIVING BY HIS STRENGTH AND SUPPLY

Through the prophet Jeremiah, God said, “Call to Me and I will answer you and tell you [and even show you] great and mighty things, [things which have been confined and hidden], which you do not know and understand and cannot distinguish” (Jeremiah 33:3 AMPC).  Praise the Lord Jesus that through Him all things are possible to those who believe. It is no longer we who live, but He who lives through us. By His strength and supply, we are ready for all He has called us to do to advance His Kingdom through ministering to others in their spiritual development. -- “I have strength for all things in Christ Who empowers me [I am ready for anything and equal to anything through Him Who infuses inner strength into me; I am [self-sufficient in Christ’s sufficiency]” (Philippians 4:13 AMP).

WALKING IN TOTAL CONFIDENCE

When you know how much you have in the bank, you can shop with confidence.  When we (and the Church as a whole) awaken to the fullness of supply (2 Peter 1:3), a tremendous holy boldness will be released. We will walk in a deep trust and confidence not in our ability, but in His ability and supply. When we understand what Christ living through us means to us, and as we grow in the full stature of Christ in us, we are going to be fearless in living and ministering out of the ceasless flow of the Holy Spirit in our God given authority and dominion. (Acts 4:31)

Ok so I had a weird dream after reading fruity twisted multiple times last night.

In said dream about a month after the ceremony some attack happened led by Paz which amounted to them capturing a first order kidnapping vessel with like 40+ kids on it. Paz specifically ends up with two children rescued from first order/empire remanents (Fin and Jannah for some reason) and Leia just announced that she was halving twins.

And everyone essentially went “well that worked. Paz do that again.” And it sort of becomes a frequent tradition (?) as soon as all of the previous new foundlings have found homes Paz is back up on the alter to do it all again.

Although for full disclosure the dream was more about another ceremony taking place some time after the Fruitful ceremony where Paz was called again and the big guy pretty much just tells Luke he has given them lots of babies and kids and Luke better be ready for it again and again. The rest above was what I came up with to make sense of the whole dream.

So short story long, I really enjoyed the newest update of Fruitful and Twisted. Thank you for sharing!!!

The fics have taken over the dreams!!

exactly as I wanted. Yes, this works out great! So, Paz has a "gift" as well and now everyone finds foundlings. The New Order falls apart instantly because the Mandalorians keep stealing the children that are to be used as soldiers. They are all raised with so much adoration and love.

And it's thanks to Luke and Din and Paz and their constantly horny worship hour.

The ceremonies would be crazy.
