Their kids are so cute omg i'm gonna dir of adorableness

lewis: then die LMFAOO NO BUT FRR THANK UU IM GLAD U THINK SO🥹🥹💖💖💖all the love for them (esp lewis) gave me the idea to draw him deflecting all the attention so ty for giving me the excuse to post it....we luv our aloof distant boi🥰

its funny bc i was JUST talking about this recently, but i dont like pet names at all BAHAH, hence why seb and clora dont call each other anything, not even nicknames.... seb calls her the light/princess/a bird sometimes as playful and teasing jokes, but doesnt actually address her like that. and clora always calls sebastian by his full name as well, bc i was basing her dialogue/my writing off the game dialogue...bc for as close as anne and ominis are to seb, both of THEM call him sebastian in full, so maybe it was a victorian thing that nicknames werent really common? plus clora's so proper that it just feels like its in her personality to always call seb "sebastian"... i feel like if she ever DID call him "seb" he'd do a double take and be like ...HUH? who are you???......are you polyjuiced? LMAO. i do imagine seb calling clora "love" when they get older tho (not in hogwarts) bc i like how simple it is, and imagining him saying stuff like 'careful, love' makes me🫠🫠🫠🫠

aw TYY💖💖 honestly i didnt give the victorian setting TOO much thought, other than making clora more modest/not used to wearing trousers etc. like the actual victorian courting process was that youd ALWAYS be chaperoned by at least 1 other person and you wouldnt be able to kiss or anything, so the fact that our mcs are in a co-ed school with free reign already ruins that, so i wouldnt worry too much about it. a lot of it you can just wave off with the excuse that wizard society is more advanced than muggle society, which is true anyway LOL. i just kept the parts that i thought were fun/made it feel victorian ENOUGH but got rid of the stuff that was too annoying (one big example being the amount of clothing they wear....i said it in the notes for one of my chapters, but i wasnt about to make seb go through like 5 different layers just to touch cloras titty LMFAO) and no i didnt have 1 specific website i used, id just google "blank in victorian times" and look through all the articles and resources i could on that subject, and take little bits of it. SO YEA i wouldnt worry about it too much, just take what you want if you think it could enrich your story, and leave stuff out if its annoying to deal with BHAHA. and GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR WRITING!!💖💖

BAHAHA yeah sebs bark was defs bigger than his bite when it came to actually having kids/getting clora pregnant LOL. he defs loves the pregnancy part, but i feel like seeing her go through the actual labour was super hard on him/made him feel guilty bc he hates to see her in pain, let alone bc of HIM. not to mention that i imagine he would still work even once they have kids, so to leave clora with like 6 kids by herself isnt something he would have wanted to do LOL. once both lewis and celeste are in hogwarts tho i actually imagine seb and clora still doing curse breaking as well (albeit less dangerous jobs/not as far away) BUT YES having a third kid that looks like seb and is sassy like anne would be SO CUTEEE...a happy accident is a good idea too, tho i kinda like the idea of it being cloras idea.....like, she gets baby fever again now that the kids are kinda growing up and sebs like no i dont wanna put u through that again... but obvs seb wouldnt be able to resist if clora was begging seb to put a baby in her LMFAOOO its already as good as done at that point😇😇 AND THANK YOU, and im glad you liked it!!!🥹💖💖💖

@the-kcm-muggleborn AWWW ur right thats so pretty.....ty for showing me!!🥹and im glad it make you think of clora...SHE WOULD APPROVE OF THESE STUDIES👌⭐🌙

Emotionalism

“The Helper will come--the Spirit, who reveals the truth about God and who comes from the Father. I will send him to you from the Father, and he will speak about me.” John 15:26GNT

People call it emotionalism. ‘Did you see those people shouting and jumping around?’ ‘I can’t believe those grown men blubbering and crying like babies saying Holy Spirit touched them— nonsense.’ ‘People go to that church and fall on the floor, then get up acting drunk.’ ‘Well I never saw such a thing, people weeping and crying while they sing— disgusting.’

Well, I’ve been one of those people more than once and will continue being one, as often as the Holy Spirit touches me. Holy Spirit is the emotion of God, perhaps we can say, the personality of God. Look at what the John 15:26Amplified Classic says what Holy Spirit is: ***“But when the Comforter— ‘One that gives comfort.’ ***(Counselor, — ‘a person who gives advice or counsel.’ ***Helper, — ‘one who aids’ ***Advocate, — ‘one who defends or maintains a cause or proposal’ ***Intercessor, — ‘one who does the act of petition or entreaty or favor of another ***Strengthener, —‘one who makes stronger’ ***Standby) comes, — ‘one to be relied on especially in emergencies’ Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth Who comes (proceeds) from the Father, He [Himself] will testify regarding Me.” Every name of Holy Spirit is an emotional response to very human needs.

Jesus Christ said “Nevertheless, I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you. But if I go, I will send Him to you” John 16:7ESV. Our Savior could only be at one place at a time. Holy Spirit has the ability to be everywhere at one time, helping everyone in need of help. This is what everyone needs or Jesus wouldn’t have sent Him.

I’ve had Him give me practical help, ‘go buy gas before you go home, the price is going to spike high tomorrow.’ Every time the price was from sixteen to thirty-six cents more the next morning.

Once my heart was devastated by total, mean-spirited hatred and rejection of my personhood. Five minutes before I had to be shamed one more time by this rejection, KCM called to say, Holy Spirit said— ‘call Debbie right now. Tell her Joel 2:25 is coming to pass next.’ They had never called me before, nor since. Holy Spirit gave me hope.

Days I have been so broken with a multitude of life issues, I felt despairing of life. In praising the Lord, Holy Spirit has come to me in an almost physical way. Tears may have fallen, in those tears His Presence came giving me the sense of being hugged. Whatever the sensation, the end result was peace and refreshing. Is there anything better than peace and refreshing amid turmoil?

Don’t be afraid of being emotional in worship. Don’t be afraid to feel the Presence or the power of God’s love. He doesn’t want robots, but living worshippers. Acts 2:17ESV “And in the last days it shall be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh…” reiterated from Joel 2:28.

Some are afraid to embrace Holy Spirit. There is none softer, gentler or more kind than the Spirit of Truth. Holy Spirit, Yahweh God, and Jesus are all parts of the Living God— “Taste and see that the LORD is good; blessed is the one who takes refuge in him.” Psalm 34:8NIV It’s your choice. You choose.

LET’S PRAY: Lord God thank You for sending us Holy Spirit. Help those duped by religion to awaken, arise and embrace this powerful Help You have sent to us, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

Killer Camp Memories (IN NEED OF ARTIST AND VOICE ACTORS)

(This is copy and pasted from the casting call)

https://www.castingcall.club/projects/killer-camp-memories-10-voiceacting-roles-artist-and-co-coder

Heyo! My name is Elchie and im the creator and writer of Killer camp memories. (WARNING GORE AND BLOOD IN THE PROJECT)

KCM as I like to shorten it, is a teenage slasher visual novel  set in a summer camp for rich kids. Does your kid think they should be  handed everything? send them to a posh camp to set them straight!.  Though this camp goes from clean and pristine to dark and bloody real  quick. Whos the murderer? guess your gonna have to wait and find out or  whatever.

What I need from you!

Since this project is so early in development before i do the casting call for the voice actors I want to get some other ducks in a row.

Artists!

Ah  yes artists, one of the biggest roles in the project. You ARE the  visual part of visual novel. You need to have the ability to draw an anime type style (though anyone feel free to audition as I might change my mind if the art speaks to me lol) and be able to draw backgrounds and some cgs if needed (cgs are full photos instead of just sprites or just backgrounds) You can link/tell me your deviant art or any other place where you post art in the audition! You can even add me on discord, friend me, and personally send me it there if its better for you. (Discord and insta at bottom) I hope you all audition!

Complex coder!

Ive got all the simple stuff down and Ive begun writing scenes and story's but i want it to be more complex.  I need some one who knows more about the ins and outs of coding and can  assist me in some parts that might be frustrating. I also hope to add a  mini game system, I would hope that the persons who  audition might also be able to really take the lead in that!. Im not  sure how you could show off your work but if you can send me a link of a project that would work perfectly! (again my discord and insta will be at the bottom)

Voice actors!

Over 10+ voice acting roles, male, female, younger, older. You can see more on the specific character down below.

Of  course if your chosen you will be just as credited as me! We will be a  powerful team and dominate the visual novel world. There really is no  deadline so take your time with auditioning. You will need discord so we  can communicate when picked through a project discord server but if you  really cant then instagram will work too. Thank you all! (All pictures shown besides the logo are from the internet and depict what the characters WILL vaguely look like)

Hello. Can I ask you? Can you give me brief explanation how Sakura Surpassed Tsunade please? I just want to know, I don't have any databooks reference aside from the Manga.

Well she was foreshadowed to surpass her first of all in the manga and databooks. 

Sakura has shown greater strength feats. ( DB 2 states that Tsunade’s full strength without using her seal is used for this crater while 632 showed us Sakura’s full strength without her seal chakra as well). Hashirama’s statement also boosts this feat and shows Kishi’s intent. Tsunade and Sakura’s strength both get a boost when their seal is released though according to databook 4 (and common sense I would say).

DATABOOK 2- HEAVENLY FOOT OF PAIN:

“…All of her body’s outrageous strength is concentrated into her heel. Her stance crystallizes the body’s dynamics in a magnificent demonstration of the art of hand to hand combat. And when her heel swings downward, it’s as if a comet had fallen!! Nothing and no one could receive a direct hit and avoid pulverization.”

Sakura asserts that she wastes no chakra looking young so she has a full seal unlike Tsunade (the author’s intention is clear here) and her feats using chakra in the war indicate that she has more chakra and uses her seal more efficiently.

After working during the war, she got her seal, healed an army, charged it’s chakra, relieved fatigue all by herself even while the God tree attacked then healed Shikamaru, and healed and army and did all that a 2nd time with Tsunade THEN used chakra to keep Naruto alive, initiate first aid on Kakashi, release her seal for regeneration, fueled Obito’s kamui which took a massive amount of chakra after she was supposedly nearly out hours before, ran and evaded Kaguya’s chakra arms for a bit then used super strength again to help seal Kaguya. his usage of chakra surpasses Tsunade’s feats in Pein’s invasion and even during the war especially since DB 4 confirms that the remote healing ability was used by Tsunade when Pein invaded and Sakura used it on an army and then on the army a second time with Tsunade. 

She naturally has her genjutsu prowess and talent which is something Tsunade didn’t have and according to Kakashi adds to her surpassing her master.

Sakura as a chunnin evaded Sasori’s puppets, at one point without help from Chiyo which impressed them both and later in the war dodged Kaguya’s chakra arms for a while which God leveled Naruto and Sasuke with instant teleportation and Minato like speed thought were super fast.

She learned Shizune’s poison techniques as well and as shown in the manga already had greater skill with poisons than Sasori and Chiyo at the start of part 2 as a chunnin. 

Databook 4 specifically states that Sakura learned Tsunade and Shizune’s techniques and became the best medic in the village after doing so (DB 4 is set up until chapter 691).

Databook 4 also states that Sakura in the war was on par with Naruto and Sasuke in chapter 632 when they had eternal mangekyo sharingan (EMS) and kyubi chakra mode (KCM). Also, apparently Kishi wrote another databook for the last and rewrote the same thing there as well. 

Sakura herself stated this and the volume alludes to this calling them a NEW THREE WAY DEADLOCK. The manga also supports this in using the sannin parallel and having chapter 634 titled THE NEW THREE WAY DEADLOCK as well. 

A New Three-Way Deadlock (新たなる三竦み, Aratanaru Sansukumi) , Volume 66 cover:

The verb is 追いつく, ‘to catch up with’ or ‘to overtake’, and it’s conjugated at the past potential form (‘was able to’). The ‘looks like’ part is expressed by that mitai at the end.

Caught up to is precisely what oitsuku means if you look up in a Japanese-English dictionary.

According to Japanese dictionary, regarding oitsuku, its definitions are:

1 – when a person who was behind is lined up with a person who was ahead.

2 – when you get at the same level with someone who had superior skills 

Not stated but based on how the jutsu works and common sense, since Sakura is 38 years younger than Tsunade she can use regeneration more than Tsunade as she has ‘more lifespan’ to shorten i.e her body is not old like Tsunade’s. Her having more seal chakra also supports this extended use of that jutsu.

She also did all this with only 3 years of training, no clan buffs, no powers gifted to her and reached this level as a 16 year old while Tsunade and the other sannin were in their 50s and were not as powerful. Tsunade got that seal after leaving the village. 

Lastly it’s common sense that she would surpass her master since it’s a common theme in shonen and in Naruto is was explicitly foreshadowed and made a leitmotif for the plot and Sakura’s character. Only a biased hater would try to come up with convoluted, specific and contrived criteria for how she didn’t surpass her master.

Get your garbage out of the Sasuke tag.

"Like, for as much as I like also Sasuke as a character" stop lying bitch we know you don't. It's blatantly obvious.

"it’s like... the guy took everything that Naruto had - his motivations, the love of his life, the show... everything. Everything was taken and was given to Sasuke."

?????!!!! How did Sasuke took Naruto's motivations? Their motivations were always different. At no point did Sasuke wanted acknowledgement or whatever the fuck Naruto wanted. And you really out here saying Sasuke took "the love of his life" with your whole ass chest? Lmfao. Sakura was the one pursuing Sasuke, not the other way around. Stop acting like Naruto was entitled to get what he wanted just because he was the MC or that he was entitled to get with someone just because he happened to have some feelings for that person. It does not work like that. But then again, this level of entitlement is something you can only see in Naruto and Sakura/Narusaku wankers.

"Sasuke keeps taking, taking, taking and Naruto keeps giving, giving, giving. And the balance in this case isn’t right. It never is." Girl... are you normal? What does naruto keep giving? Last time I checked, Sasuke was the one who risked his life for Naruto, not the other way around. Deadass Sasuke literally sacrificed his goals, motivations, life for naruto against Haku and he was willing to do it again against Gaara.

"Because Naruto worked his ass of for everything while Sasuke went to Orochimaru to cut things short and what? He’s the one who gets it all, while Naruto’s hard work is repaid how? " And you think Sasuke did not work hard when he was with Orochimaru? Do you think he improved his genjutsu/taijutsu/ninjutsu that much and learned swordsmanship, as well as creating numerous tehniques by snapping his fingers and doing nothing???? Sasuke was shown to be an incredibly hardworking person ever since he was a child, his databook hobby is literally TRAINING and let me remind you that one of Orochimaru's training sessions literally involved Sasuke fighting against countless people, and you think Sasuke had it easy compared to Naruto??? You think him going to Orochimaru "cut things short"???? Bitch sit your ass down. Naruto is the one who does literally the bare minimum yet he gets 353423 power ups at once. He unlocks Kurama mode? Oh would you look at that, he's now one of the fastest ninja, despite his speed being otherwise mediocre, he's now good at taijutsu, and he also gets additional strenght and his jutsus are significantly boosted. And all he had to do for that was tnj Kurama with Kushina and Bee's help. Basically gaining access to KCM was one hell of a frickin shortcut for Naruto to make up for all of his previous weaknesses. Without Kurama, he would've had to train years to get that speed, he would've had to train years to get that level of taijutsu and strenght yet Kurama makes up for all of it. In Shippuden Naruto's just handed ridiculous power up after power up and his garbage fanboys and fangirls be out here talking shit about Sasuke when this Naruti fucker was even given the ability to fly and restore people's eye and heal them without doing jackshit at one point in the manga? Girl sit you ass down and stop spewing shit.

"What message is this in the end? That in this world the only way you will make it is by cutting roads, taking shortcuts and ‘cheating’?" If Sasuke is "cutting roads, taking shortcuts and "cheating" then so is your precious naruto, even more so than Sasuke.

Don't you ever put your crap in the sasuke tags. We don't wanna see garbage in these tags. Narusaku wankers like you better keep his name out of your mouths and sit in your fucking lane. Even better. Deactivate and find other purpose in life than bitching about your trash ship not becoming canon. Cringey, corney ass cunt. This is literally the first ask of this type that I'm ever sending cuz god bless it's hard as hell to get me this heated, but your corny, stupid ass somehow pulled it off. Congrats.

I pondered over whether I should reply to you or not. And decided to do it, because unlike you, I recognize the fact that you are entitled to have an opinion.

Ya know, like I do, too. But unlike you, I won't start calling you names, you see. Because dear God, although yes I am a Sakura and NaruSaku fan, doesn't mean I leave my brain at the entrance. One that unlike you, also knows that my favorite character(s)/pairings also have flaws. So whenever people have an opinion I disagree with, I just leave them be.

Instead of ya know, going into people's inboxes and acting like you did.

Like wow, doe... Take it easy. You think that if you came into my inbox and spewed all this wall of text filled with insults you're a better person or what?

You gotta learn in life that yes, people have different opinion than yours dude or dudette, whatever you are. And you know what? You're gonna have to learn to live with them, like it or not, cuz you don't live in a vacuum space.

Excuse me but since when someone dictates me what I am and what I am not? I didn't know I require your permission to be a fan of Sasuke in a certain way otherwise I shouldn't be called a fan.

You just saw a post here, read some few questions here and there and placed your judgement that oh, all I am is a stupid Sakura/NaruSaku fans who thinks like this just because of my ship. Well, news flash: I can separate my liking of a certain thing and analyze things outside of that. You know why?

Because I don't take things personally like you seemed to have done here. Yes, I have my opinions and I stand by them. But that doesn't mean that I can't judge things outside of those opinions.

I don't know with what kind of thinking and people you are accustomed to, but you've got me wrong here.

Everyone who is here along me for the years I've been on Tumblr (and elsewhere) knows that I've always said I have a love-hate relationship with Sasuke.

I hate some of the things he does (more like HOW he goes about them), while I LOVE how he's the one who truly challenges the status quo present in Naruto world.

But aah, here you are, coming into my inbox, telling me what I am and what I'm not. Chill yer self, will ya? I know very well who I am, I don't need your incapable of having a decent discussion self to tell me who I am.

Now to address your points

How did Sasuke take Naruto's motivations? Oooh, then you might've missed him wanting to become Hokage, which was Naruto's dream since this god forsaken story began.

THAT IS HOW.

Naruto journey was about 3 major things: acknoweldgement, Hokage and getting Sakura.

Minus the acknowledgement thing (which gets weaved with the bringing Sasuke plot along with the Hokage one), the other two are transferred to Sasuke.

Irrespective of Sasuke wanting those things or not. Because ya know, as I said, everything was taken and was given to Sasuke.

Which, I'm sorry but it's true. Sasuke's major plot and defining moment ended-up when he killed Itachi, so from there on Kishimoto needed to think about something for him.

Hell, Kishimoto himself admitted that he didn't know what to do with Sasuke in the Kobayashi interview, dude. Like chill your goddamn self.

Not to mention along the years he spoke about how Sasuke and Kakashi's popularities grew more than he envisioned. Hell, at some point the man purposely cut out Kakashi from the story because he was getting more popular than Naruto, so really, what are you getting pressed about?

For speaking about a valid critique of how things happened? Kishimoto ended-up giving to Sasuke what we all followed Naruto for.

And you say that he didn't give him Naruto's motivations? LOL MAY I REMIND YOU that Sasuke's POV in the last chapter is really similar to Naruto's? Him wanting to reach Naruto the same way Naruto wanted to reach him, him being envious of Naruto the same way Naruto was envious of him, though Naruto's envy and Sasuke's are so different in nuance.

As for Sasuke's skills... dude, I'm sorry but Sasuke's WHOLE arc was about searching power from Orochimaru. Which I am sorry BUT IT WAS CUTTING SHORT because ya know, the cursed seal??

Like I'm sorry but Naruto's Kurama power was a handicap to him until he had to train with Bee, so give me a break here.

I'm not taking away from the fact that Sasuke trained as well, far away from that. But as it's true that he trained, it's ALSO true that he cut things hort.

Him going to Orochimaru is the point to that whole thing. That's the whole plot point of him going to Orochimaru.

Ya know, cuz that's how darkness as a motif works in a story my dear.

It gives you power easily (AND SASUKE HIMSELF ADMITS IT TO SAKURA when he leaves the village that he is NOT like them aka Naruto and Sakura). Granted, there's always a reason behind darkness offering you that power and Orochimaru's was that he wanted Sasuke's body. That's THE WHOLE REASON Naruto and Sakura wanted to bring him back to the village??? Because in his quest for power he's losing himself.

But it doesn't retract from the fact that Sasuke DID do that. Hello, remember how he had to eat that pill to "die" once and then BOOM MAGICALLY level 2 curse?

Like don't give me that crap that Sasuke is a hard worker cuz it's not true. He's a talented one, I give you that. But NOT a hard worker.

There's a slight difference in nuance here. The motif of natural talent vs hard work has always been prevalent in this story. Guess on which side of the spectrum Sasuke was?

The one who always had to train more was Naruto because I don't know if your angry self absorbed self remembers, but having Kurama functioned as an impediment to Naruto rather than something helpful.

The fact that he FINALLY got to utilize Kurama's power-ups (which should be looked as a reward system after functioning as an impediment in the story), I'm sorry but it's not like he snapped a finger and went there and magically got it? No, my dear. He had to undergo training!

Not to mention, that wasn't the only power-up that Naruto got. Mind I remind you of Sage arts? The one he learned once again, by training hard?

Meanwhile Sasuke got his power-up because Itachi left behind his eyes. Then again we see Hashirama in the war arc giving him his chakra, and then again we have Hagoromo who gives him the seal. But that one is out of the equation because Naruto got it handed to him the same way Sasuke did.

So, like it or not, by the virtue of how the story was developed and the motifs it uses, Sasuke is the one who uses shortcuts, abandons his comrades and gets things handed to him.

While Naruto is the one who works hard because unlike Sasuke, he's not the talented Uchiha genius. His only talent is the fact that he is able to relate to people in more ways than one, unlike Sasuke.

Like dude, that's the story's premise ffs.

The fact that you don't like it, well, that's another issue. You're free not to, of course.

But you coming here in my inbox and insulting me isn't going to change the reality of those facts.

As for blaming it all on me for YOUR OWN actions, well, isn't that juicy?

I didn't make you come to my inbox and write these insults, did I?

You had so many other choices: come to my inbox and NICELY ask me to take it out because you see it as offensive to the Sasuke tag, IGNORE IT and move past it like I so do with so many things I see in the tags of the characters I like, or simply come and tell me that dude, I consider that you're wrong because this, this and that.

But no, instead you came here, wrote all this long ass ask, used foul language and you wanna make me the bad guy in this whole story because I dare to have an opinion?

Sure Jan, whatever rocks your boat and helps you sleep at night.

As for the last part, I'm sorry to burst your bubble but I won't do any of the things you said I should.

You're not the first, nor the last person who comes into my inbox spewing hate. I've been doing this for 10 years now.

You're not the first and probably not the last either, like I said. But let me tell you one thing: I don't care.

You hold no power over me and what I do on the internet.

So you can either accept that and move on with your life or keep continue acting all hateful like your fave used to do in his teen years.

Ain't gonna stop me from being me.

Like I said... This is the internet, my friend. You have no power over me.

Sayonara!

Praying in the Spirit Prepares You for Your Future

The Hour That Brings Manifest PowerFebruary 20, 2020

Want more of God’s power in 2020? Try Gloria Copeland’s personal routine for success.

READING TIME: 5 MINUTES

You know the one…

The person who pushes on a door that clearly reads “Pull.”

Not you, of course. You’d never do that. But some people do. Then, they get frustrated when it doesn’t open. If they’re committed enough to get through that doorway, they’ll stay until they figure it out.

That’s how it works with God’s power.

It’s easy to reach, but you need to follow directions. Mostly, you need to COMMIT to pursue Him until you achieve what you’re after. That’s part of the message behind the word of the Lord through Kenneth Copeland for 2020, which is the year of new visions, manifest power and great change.

While there is no one-size-fits-all approach to a relationship with God, those who DELIGHT in Him always get the desires of their hearts (Psalm 37:4).

(Check out our 21 Ways to Delight in the Lord HERE.)

Something that’s worth a try? Gloria Copeland’s personal strategy—the hour that brings God’s manifest power.

Interested? Here’s how it works.

Try An Hour of Daily Prayer“Could you not watch with Me one hour?” –Matthew 26:40 (NKJV)

If you’re already recoiling and making excuses—(Yikes, an hour? I’m really busy), push pause and hear us out.

What if one hour could change a jampacked day into one that flows smoothly and leaves you with time to spare?

What if one hour of daily prayer could solve the problems that keep you up at night?

What if one hour of daily prayer could manifest power in your life like you’ve never imagined?

When God first called Gloria to spend an hour each day praying in the spirit, her thoughts were probably much like yours. But her desire for God outweighed every objection. It took switching around her whole routine and rearranging her schedule—but she did it!

As she began to spend an hour a day praying in other tongues, her life changed dramatically. She was hearing from the Lord more, and circumstances in her life improved. The only thing she did differently was that she prayed for a set amount of time each day—without fail.

Kenneth Copeland teaches you why praying in the spirit prepares you for your future.

Why one hour?

If you spend any amount of time studying the Bible, you know numbers are a big deal with God. In Matthew 26, Jesus was in the Garden of Gethsemane just before He went to the cross. He warned the disciples of the temptations to come—the lure to be offended, fall away and be scattered.

His instructions? “Watch and pray” (verse 41). When they fell asleep on the job after His first request, Jesus responded, “Could you not watch with Me one hour?” (verse 40, NKJV). Here, He mentions a specific amount of time for prayer, rather than leaving it open-ended.

(Find tips for creating a prayer routine you’ll actually stick with HERE.)

Jesus knew that time spent in prayer was more than just a conversation with God—it was the path to protection, blessing and guidance we all need so much—the key to victory in any situation.

What about you? Where do you want to see a change in your life?

Try an hour of daily prayer. Try it for 40 days.

Watch and see how your time seems to multiply, your burdens seem to lift, and the things that seemed perplexing are suddenly clear. The hour that brings manifest power will bring God into every area of your life!

“I pray in the spirit an hour a day because God told me to. And I tell you, it’s changed my life.” –Gloria Copeland

Stick With It“Pray without ceasing.” –1 Thessalonians 5:17 (NKJV)

But time isn’t the only key to seeing God’s manifest power.

If you lift weights one day, you’ll be buff the next, right?

We can all dream.

But real muscle isn’t built in a day. It takes time!

The same is true with spiritual muscle. And it’s exactly what the Lord told Kenneth and Gloria long ago when they were first learning to live by faith. As Gloria was seeking the Lord, He spoke these words—In consistency lies the power.  

In other words, manifest power comes when you are consistent with your words and your prayer life, and in your pursuit of God. In consistency lies the power.

You can’t be a yo-yo—up one day and down the next—and reach your goals. Consistency equals stability, strength and power. You’ve got to stick with it!

The question is…how much do you want to see God’s manifest power in your life?

Gloria began her routine of a daily hour of prayer when she was facing a trial and needed some answers. The breakthrough wasn’t instantaneous, but as she pressed on and pressed in, she saw the supernatural moving into her situation.

To be consistent in daily prayer, you have to get to a place where you want victory more than you want an extra half hour of sleep, time in front of the television, or any other routine you may have.

Determine today to be consistent. Don’t try to base today on yesterday’s prayer time. Base today on today’s time with the Lord. Start a consistent prayer time today. Then tomorrow, get up and do it again! That’s when you’ll see the difference the hour that brings manifest power can make.

(Find A Recipe for Your Daily Quiet Time HERE.)

Believe It. Possess It.“You can pray for anything, and if you believe that you’ve received it, it will be yours.” –Mark 11:24

Once you’ve committed to consistent time in prayer, the next link to the hour that brings manifest power in your life is how you pray.

The verse above tells us two things—either there isn’t much asking, or there isn’t much believing going on in the Body of Christ. But let’s break it down further…

When we pray, we are not to believe we will receive in the future—we are to believe we receive right at that moment. That’s what Gloria learned from her hour that brings manifest power, and it’s something she’s preached ever since. And if you’ve been around KCM very long, you’ve likely heard her say, “You take it when you pray,” time and again. Because it’s true! And it has worked in her own life.

Most people pray and expect the answer to come later, but Jesus tells us we need to believe we receive: When. We. Pray.

Wait a minute. Before the answer comes?

Yep. That’s faith.

To believe you receive when you pray means you take possession of it in the spirit realm first. Possession of what? Anything you need that is in line with the Word of God.

Jesus said to pray for whatever you desire (Mark 11:24, KJV). But how can you know that what you desire is in line with His Word?

There are four steps that will get you to a place where you can confidently believe and possess what you ask for in prayer during your hour that brings manifest power.

Spend time in the Word of God—lots of time.

Study the promises of God and think on them often.

Keep your emotions in check. Once you’ve built your faith to receive, check your vitals after you finish each prayer. Do you feel peace and joy? Or do you still have some apprehension about whether or not it will actually happen?

Watch your words. Don’t let anything come out of your mouth that is contrary to what you’re believing for. It completely negates your prayers.

When you believe it and possess it, no one can talk you out of it. You don’t have to see a sign of it on the horizon to know that you know that you know it’s yours. You’ll be like Elijah when he was waiting for rain. Though there isn’t the slightest sign of what you want, you’ll keep checking until that tiny cloud appears—knowing it’s only a matter of time.

This is how the hour that brings manifest power can change your life—through time, consistency and a firm belief you’ll receive what you ask. That’s how you can participate in the word of the Lord for 2020 in a very personal way. Remember: Faith isn’t hard. If you’ve been pushing on the door and nothing’s changing—start pulling! As Gloria Copeland reminds us, “Faith will work for anybody who’ll put it to work.”

Watch Kenneth Copeland teach you how to put your faith to work.

Great Power Transfer

“I will clothe Him with Your robe and tie Your sash around Him. I will put Your authority in His hand, and He will be a Father to the dwellers of Jerusalem and to the house of Judah. I will place on His shoulder the key to the house of David. What He opens no one can shut, and what He shuts no one can open.” Isaiah 22:21-22BSB

There is a position in kingdoms of one called a ‘chamberlain.’ If you ever watch videos of people snooping around abandoned castles in Europe, you’ll see piles of keys, one for each room of the castle, plus every building upon the estate. The ‘chamberlain’ was a person who carried all the important keys to the King’s palace, gates to the city, treasury, offices of government. “For to us a Child is born, to us a Son is given; and the government shall be upon His shoulder,” Isaiah 9:6ESV prophesied who our text’s ‘chamberlain’ would be, the One called the Christ— Jesus.

Those keys belonging to Jesus— our ‘chamberlain’ —were keys He transferred to the intercessors, the obedient ones, —Believers who are awake enough to use them. “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven” Matthew 16:19ESV

What is binding and loosening? I imagine this to be like rodeo riders. They lasso a bull; wrap the rope around the saddle’s horn; wrestle the bull down to the ground, and then wrap its four hooves quickly, binding it. We have the authority to take down every demon from hell, binding it with our words rendering them iimpotent.

Years ago, I attended a KCM Believers’ Convention in Butler’s church at Detroit, while Lou worked there. North Korea was threatening to send a nuclear bomb to the US, showing off their power with test rockets. Copeland asked all attendees to agree with him, (see Matthew 18:19.) As we prayed and agreed with Copeland, he bound the leader of North Korea and their ability to bomb the USA, from that day unto forever. Since then, the threat hasn’t risen again. What an awesome example of the power of agreement and binding. Why did this binding come to pass? Bombs and threats aren’t allowed in heaven.

In heaven we find peace, joy, love, and the power of God. We ‘loose’ or ‘free’ the things available from heaven. By loosening, we’re inviting Holy Spirit to work in situations bringing the right things to pass.

After Jesus’ resurrection a great power transfer happened. “…All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations…” Matthew 28:18-19ESV. Jesus gave all of His power to His church, His bride, His ecclesia— us. In Luke 10:19 He had delegated all of His authority and power to His disciples. Never once did He recant on the power He gave them and on to us who believe.

We’re now the ‘chamberlains’ holding the keys of the world, our nations, our families and churches —having been given great authority with great power transferred to overcome all of satan’s works in every mountain of society. The power is in our tongues —our words— our binding and loosening— praying scriptures.

Time is here to get out our sword of the Lord. the Bible. God has word work for us to do. He’s asking us to be His mouthpieces releasing His will and His government across our planet. Binding all the terrorist organizations, wars, one world government agendas now in motion. Will you do as He has asked? It’s your choice. You choose.

LET’S PRAY: LORD God we can do all You have given us to do with Your help and strength. Awaken us fully to be obedient, fulfill our part of these battles, and destroy satan’s works, in the name of Jesus Christ I pray.

God- I’m in a tough spot of my life right now. 

I sat back and just thought about where I am right now, and I realized that objectively speaking, it’s kind of rough. I think this is a testing of my faith, but I’m not sure, and it’s just hard to hold a confidence in the clarity of having my heart aligned with yours. It’s because I haven’t been praying daily or meditating on your word- and it’s been why I can’t discern your guidance. God, let me believe that my life right now is not outside of your control or your love. God, let me hold within my heart that you have set my path before me, and that it is more than I could ever do on my own. Father you give me my worth- remind me of that! 

Within the past week, I’ve lost my internship and my closest friend. The first, it wasn’t hard at first to just be still and know that you are my good Father. My earthly father is honestly someone that I am not all-together respectful towards and do not trust. But you are a perfect Father whose love is perfect.. 

The second is really hard Father. I don’t know how to love her right now, because I feel like everything about our friendship has been called into question within the span of a single conversation. God I’ve thought it through, and I don’t think the heart that you’ve taught me in my faith is wrong. It is radical, and it may be young, but it’s not wrong. Father you know my heart in my actions. You know that although I may “sacrifice”, or choose not to, it amounts up to nothing at the feet of the cross. 

Am I using the Gospel for my own means? Am I using your teachings for my ends? No... I don’t think I am. 

God I pray for Cat to experience what it is like to lay down everything at your feet. I pray that she would know the heart of our Father who loves her and wants everything from her. Her time, her belongings, her words, her heart for her parents and friends-- everything. God I pray that -just as before- the purpose within my own heart is to build her up. It is not to break her down or “make her more like me”, but to push her more and more towards you. Towards being more and more like Christ. So God I pray for wisdom in all aspects for this end. I pray for faith that you are working in both of us, lovingly and carefully, for the words to care for her, for the actions to be able to act in truth. God teach me- because I am lacking, and constantly fighting against myself that is sinful and my heart that is deceitful. God am I wrong to base my decisions and my opinions on the simple interpretations of your Word? Maybe I read your word in the wrong way at times. If so, God, I pray for guidance. I pray for teaching and for a teachable heart!

Wow is this the ultimate conclusion of each friendship I will ever have? That I am ever-lacking... and therefore, if I really care for someone, I only need to see how I can push them more and more towards you?

God I know that you’ve placed me where I am, socially and academically, for a reason. Let me not be bitter towards the people around me or my circumstances. God let me see that you care. Let me see that you care for these people as much as you care for me, and it is not to me to determine their worth. I pray for KCM- because there is so much bitterness, everywhere. Father I pray that you would heal and that you would use it for your glory. I pray that within my own relationships, mercy and love would reign. I pray that within each person’s heart, mercy and love would cover over all hurt. God this is a BIG prayer request- as in something that I don’t really think is possible- but something that I want to believe in. God may you make it true. May you use my small faith.

Someone’s mad?

Actually I blocked you because you’re the one who can’t accept facts and why should I waste my time repeating what the manga and databooks (Kishi) state and promote? Why should I keep having to repeat myself? Are you that special?

 I already gave you canon proof and you keep talking about what you think catch up means and what the fandom thinks power means. So again, what is the point? We’re just going to go on forever and I don’t need to say the same things, see you say the same things and get notifications about it. 

 I posted facts like the character and the databook written by the author both stating that Sakura caught up to them and I mentioned the fact that they are called a new three way deadlock and a paralleled to the legendary sannin and still you kept talking about Sasuke and Naruto as if EMS Sasuke and KCM Naruto are equal feat wise. 

As if we didn’t see KCM Naruto summon Kurama, use rasenshuriken, shadow clones, minato-like speed, tailed beast bombs vs. EMS Sasuke’s incomplete susanoo and amaterasu feats.

I posted canon, factual data and you reply talking about who you think would beat the other based on what exactly? You talked about this fandom not considering healing and chakra reserves as powers when I said it was part of Sakura and Tsunade’s power and boosted their fighting prowess too. 

I literally posted Japanese raws with literal translations as well as VIZ versions of what Sakura and Databook 4 stated and what was your reply? 

“The sannin are not equal”

“I haven’t seen anything in 700 chapters to prove that Sakura surpassed Tsunade.”

“Sakura said she wouldn’t stay back after they were Gods so do you think she was equal to them there too?”

“Databooks are merely supplementary.”

“Sakura’s healing, regeneration and chakra reserves don’t count, only fighting power counts.”

“Sakura saying she caught up doesn’t mean she is on par with them.”

“You can only be equal if you can beat exactly the same enemies.”

“Type advantages don’t exist so saying Orochimaru and Jiraiya are equal despite Jiraiya’s sage mode making him better suited against Pein is wrong.”

“Manda is stronger than Katsuyu and Gamabunta.”

“Sakura fans are the most biased.”

“Tsunade could barely beat Kabuto so she isn’t on par with the others.”

“The new three way deadlock only refers to the animal summonings.”

“Sasuke and Naruto surpassed their masters with sage mode and mangekyo sharingan and Sakura didn’t get a power up then so she needs to get a power up in the Pein arc and then another in the war to be equal to them.”

“ When Boruto and the kage went after momoshiki Shikamaru said it’s the strongest fighters and that’s false just like Sakura saying she was equal to them.”

Oh yeah and for the final time. Since Sakura is stronger than the sannin and has more chakra than Tsunade, more strength than Tsunade and Ai, Katsuyu, the power to heal and army and charge its chakra and the ability to regenerate her body like Hashirama and Tsunade AND Sakura and Kishi in DB 4 and the last’s guidebook state that she was on par with EMS Sasuke and KCM Naruto when she said it then guess what? 

ACCORDING TO KISHI AND THE MANGA SHE WAS AS POWERFUL AS THEM WHEN SHE SAID IT. THEREFORE SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO STAND BY THEIR SIDES WHEN THEY FOUGHT SOMEONE WITH HER STRENGTH AND REGENERATION OR EVEN IF IT’S IN A SUPPORT ROLE (GIVING CHAKRA, HEALING THEM BOTH).

And if we really want to get into feats...

EMS Sasuke’s feats without Jugo or Naruto’s help includes his chidori and its variants, amaterasu, sharingan genjutsu, Aoda, an incomplete susanoo and controlling his amaterasu to form Enton: Susanoo Kagutsuchi. 

Sakura in canon has reserves beyond Tsunade, is resistant to genjutsu, has strength beyond Tsunade and Ai who were beating incomplete susanoo formed by Madara, regeneration, Katsuyu and evasion that could avoid Kaguya’s instant chakra arms which God leveled Naruto and Sasuke feared as super fast and thus would be faster than Enton: Susanoo Kagutsuchi based weapons. 

So yes I can conclude that if Sakura were to fight EMS Sasuke without emotions involved, based on Kishi hyping them as equals like Tsunade and Orochimaru, that she’d put up a good fight.

This is specially likely since Danzo reacted to amaterasu burning him, Pein pushed it away with force of an almighty push (Sakura can make an explosion with a punch or stomp), it took a while to burn through Karin’s clothing and Sakura can easily discard clothing or flesh (to regenerate) in a battle, which btw would be close ranged and involve Sakura constantly moving, punching the ground making explosions and punching Sasuke’s susanoo so amaterasu isn’t even a one shot in theory.

Furthermore  as I said and as the manga promotes, you can be as powerful as someone even if you can’t beat them in a fight since advantages of fighting styles and strengths and weaknesses arise for example: Jiraiya vs Pein and Orochimaru vs. Pein. One has sage mode which would help against a rinnegan user while the other does not yet they are both equals and rivals. 

Offensively Sakura can be just as powerful as EMS Sasuke with his Enton: Susanoo Kagutsuchi with her own power; her full strength which was never shown in can i.e. a full powered cherry blossom impact (a portion of her full strength took out Juubi clones and only a portion broke Kaguya’s horn) with her seal released, despite probably not being able to fight him and win one vs one. 

I cannot say for sure how a fight would go because unlike you all I don’t ignore the fact that Sakura and all the girls were treated like shit and since they are hyped as equals it’s not as easy to call like Hinata vs. Sakura or Sasuke vs. Gaara. Regardless two main facts remain:

She was as powerful as the boys when she said it.

Fighting power is not the only aspect of ‘ninja’ power i.e. defensive powers can supplement your attack i.e. Sakura’s strength with her regeneration and reserves. 

Additionally since Sakura herself said that they were ahead of her in the end and we know this since we saw their God powers and the Indra/Ashura parallel replaced the sannin parallel I don’t see what is your Sasuke loving issue? lol

Again posting the facts you seem to ignore:

“A lonely blossom that flowered in Konoha! Tsunade is the strongest Kunoichi in Konoha history, every bit a match for Jiraiya and Orochimaru. Her whereabouts – indeed, her survival – are currently a mystery, but her name blossoms in the noble inclusion of the shinobi.”

- The Naruto Secret: Scroll of Soldiers Official Fanbook by Masashi Kishimoto

“…Are the only ones who can fight against the Sannin the Sannin themselves?” - DATABOOK 2- THE SANNIN

“This time, we’re [or “I’m”] going back to back” and thinks “Tsunade-sama… I… it looks like I was finally able to catch up with those two!!”

The verb is 追いつく, ‘to catch up with’ or ‘to overtake’, and it’s conjugated at the past potential form (‘was able to’). The ‘looks like’ part is expressed by that mitai at the end.

Caught up to is precisely what oitsuku means if you look up in a Japanese-English dictionary. According to Japanese dictionary, regarding oitsuku, its definitions are:

1 – when a person who was behind is lined up with a person who was ahead.

2 – when you get at the same level with someone who had superior skills

And what  is a SUPER SAKURA FAN? 

I’m sorry I like a character and read up about them without acquiring your permission LMAO!

Once again:

CHARACTER QUOTES + KISHI’S DATABOOK STATEMENTS

OUR OPINIONS

I also asked someone to prove to me and sadly, you didn’t. So that ‘challenge’ was still not met. Maybe you think you did but you didn’t. As I said prior, it wasn’t up for debate in the first place and you can’t debate with me because Kishi, the creator already showed and wrote it. 

SAKURA CAUGHT UP TO THEM AND EMS SASUKE, KCM NARUTO AND YIN SEAL SAKURA CREATED A NEW THREE-WAY DEADLOCK LIKE THE SANNIN BEFORE THEM. 

I look forward to Sarada, Mitsuki and Boruto doing the same in these filler series just to prove my point more. 

And notice you mentioned my name on your blog after I ended it and blocked you so I am well within my rights to post this now.

[newlifenewchapter]

I am really marathon bound!

Yesterday, I signed up for the Kansas City Marathon! The race is on October 21, 2017, so that means later that day, I’ll be a marathoner. I am SO ready for this. I’ve picked a plan, Hal Higdon’s Novice 2. I’ve charted out the weeks on my calendar and the mileage definitely seems doable. My goal is to finish...running the whole way. 

I’ve been reading on FB how runners who have completed a marathon say that strength training was a game changer in a major way. One runner stated she strength trained three days a week for an hour each time. Strength training allowed for a faster race time and helped prevent injuries. 

The HH plan calls for one day of cross training, which will be strength training. I have two rest days on the plan, but I feel like they really need to be rest days, so if I try to strength train two more days to get to the three days a week, it’d have to be during a weekday in which I am to run. I just have to figure out how to go about it.  I basically have three options: 1) find a trainer (expensive), 2) find a program I can do at home and buy some weights (again, expensive to buy weights since I will be increasing weights as I move along, but way cheaper than a personal trainer) and 3) use the weight room at work (free!). I am going to do some research online before deciding what to do. My goal is to be as prepared as possible so that my marathon experience is a positive one and has me wanting to do another one. I also want to train injury free.

I decided on the KCM because with this being my first marathon, I didn’t want to add additional stress of travel and trying to fund raise for Team in Training. Plus, I have run the Kansas City Marathon 5K in 2012 and then the half marathon in 2013, so I am familiar with the course and can park in the parking garage where I work, which is close to the starting line. My family can attend too. Plus, two other people I know from work are doing the 5K and the half. I definitely will plan on running Chicago Marathon next fall and then maybe plan some more destination races.

The HH plan has me at a half marathon on August 13. Sure, I could run the 13.1 miles as the training plan states, but I’d like to actually do a half marathon race so I could officially count it as my fourth half. There is one in Kansas called “Run for your Momma Marathon” but there isn’t an update showing they’ll have one in 2017. The weather has me concerned. When it is hot, I’ll be running my long runs early in the morning, and this one starts at 7 a.m., which it could be very hot and sunny then. I’ll have to wait and see.

More to come later!
