“Remember what you were taught from your childhood from the Holy Scrolls which can impart to you wisdom to experience everlasting life through the faith of Jesus, the Anointed One! God has transmitted his very substance into every Scripture, for it is God-breathed. It will empower you by its instruction and correction, giving you the strength to take the right direction and lead you deeper into the path of godliness.” —2 Timothy 3:15-16 (TPT)
“Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” —Ephesians 6:13-17 (NIV)
“Never doubt God’s mighty power to work in you and accomplish all this. He will achieve infinitely more than your greatest request, your most unbelievable dream, and exceed your wildest imagination! He will outdo them all, for his miraculous power constantly energizes you.” —Ephesians 3:20 (TPT)
“The Bible is Alive” Devotional By YouVersion - Day 3: “The Bible Transforms Nations”:
“It’s the early 1800s. A 12-year-old Nigerian boy and his family are taken from their home and forced onto a Portuguese slave ship bound for America. But before the boat has a chance to leave the African coast, it’s raided by an anti-slavery patrol and the traffickers are arrested. The boy and his family are then liberated and sent to Sierra Leone. It’s here that he discovers the power of the Bible.
After becoming a Christian, Samuel Ajayi Crowther began learning multiple languages and going on missionary expeditions into the countries near Sierra Leone. But this entire time, he was studying the Bible in English because it didn’t exist in Yoruba—his Nigerian language.
This meant that the people in Nigeria who didn’t speak English couldn’t read God’s Word for themselves. So Ajayi helped create a written grammar system for Yoruba and then translated the Bible into that language.
Once he finished the Yoruba Bible, he continued to translate Scripture into other Nigerian languages so that more people could discover the life-change that he had experienced.
Crowther was later elected “Bishop of the Niger” by the Anglican church, becoming the first Black Anglican bishop. And today, the Anglican Church of Nigeria is the second largest Anglican province with over 18 million baptized members.
The same God who worked through Crowther also wants to work through you to impact the world through His Word. There are people waiting to be transformed by the Bible that only you are perfectly positioned to reach.
So today, ask God to reveal the role you can play in the story He’s telling, and watch as He does more through your life than all you can ask, think, or imagine.”

neville and edward are not the only people to learn from; their ways are not the right and only ways, and the law of assumption is not the only paradigm to better understand yourself, reality, and yourself as reality.
i think it's so easy to get tunnel vision since neville is the current big shot people always defer to, but there's infinite ways to experience yourself/reality. so, please, do not make this fuckin white guy from the 1900s into a god and his teachings as a whole other set of rules you need to follow.
if the bible doesn't resonate with you, even as a metaphysical text, there are plenty of other cultures and spiritual practices that have been delving into all this waaaay before jesus.
and i think it's important to recognize the harm perpetuated by the church, christianity's fucked history, and people's individual experiences with religion that might make setting aside preconceptions and prejudices more challenging (even to accept the metaphysical message outside the religious).
all this to say: do not make barriers for yourself when you are limitless. if the words "feel it real" make you want to tear your hair out, forget them. please, for the love of you, drop the shit that you feel like you have to force to get or that just isn't clicking.
start getting curious about how you experience yourself and reality. start asking yourself who you really are. start asking yourself "who do i want to be?" vs. "how do i need to be?" set an intention to receive answers in language, analogies, and ways that deeply resonate with you and that will make an instant, profound impact on you.
you do not have to force yourself to fit into an external mold, no matter how alluded it is. not all that glitters is gold because this is YOUR subjective experience of yourself. this has, always has been, and always will be a journey of self, knowing yourself as the limitless, infinite, timeless being you are.
it's doesn't matter what neville said and did if it doesn't benefit you. it doesn't matter who he was or how much his teachings have helped others. what matters is YOU. stop looking at neville, and look at you. who do you know yourself to be? who do YOU say you are?
#dont get me wrong: i really enjoy neville's teachings#and you all know i loooove the bible at a metaphysical text#but LORD ALIVE. stop forcing this shit if you don't resonate with it.#stop telling yourself this is the right way then YOU ARE THE WAY.#honest to you: let it goooooooo.#make space to discover new treasures within yourself as yourself.#experience yourself today. like!! stop intellectualizing or looking for the answer and just EXPERIENCE YOURSELF.#be aware of being aware.#you'll get so much more wisdom from that than trying to force feeling it real ever.

actually realising how bullshit the 'nightpelt didnt get his lives because brokenstar was still alive' decision was. i initially assumed it was not a choice by StarClan, as Brokenstar was still leader even in exile, but with further books having the 'alive but chose to leave Pinestar' let Sunstar get 8 lives, and recently alive Bramblestar 'step down' and let Squirrelstar presumeably get her lives, it becomes a choice that StarClan made- and a fucking stupid one.
#this is all about the fucking retcons and stuff just. make a fuckng series bible and stick to it#warrior cats#and it would be more interesting for leadership to be permanent or the alive leader stepping down meaning the new leader doesnt have any li#becos its like. starclans blessing cant be revoked. leadership is a gift and burden.#and for brokenstar to be in EXILE and starclan choose to not give nightstar leadership??? are you crazy???

Michael: Okay, let me just get this straight -
God: You are definitely not straight but okay, go ahead.
Michael: You want me to be the vessel through which I dispense Divine Justice, a taxiarch, and a psychopomp delivering souls to the Inferno all at the same time?
God, smiling: Correct!
Michael: That's like three job titles in one. What's the compensation for my labor?
God: Well, I'm God! Sooooo your payment is living in Paradise for etetnity where your every need is met and you get to luxuriate in the simplicity of living! Um, so long as you do my bidding at any time I ask and don't question me too hard or all the time about it.
Michael:

it's extremely unfortunate how much of your own life experience will end up suffusing into whatever fiction you write. including-but-not-limited-to cringily saccharine subjects such as "weddings." yes, even if you're not a "wedding person." yes, even if you hate most of the conventions of traditional weddings. this bitch here (me) had one, & apparently i had Feelings about it, & now they're all on the page, against my will, in a story that involves a wedding, ALSO against my will,,,,.......
#(fun fact: the subtext of My Massive Long Angsty Bird Laguz Fic#is that Buying A House Is Emotionally Traumatic#probably no one ELSE noticed that there. but *I* noticed that there.#and that's enough to make me die a little inside every day <3#anyway if i ever have a kid i am NOT ALLOWED to write kidfic#hold me to that. swear me to that.#that's one cringe too far. i can't do it.#kids are great but i canNOT be doing anything remotely close to naming a character Albus Severus yaknow#origfic is there if i ever get such an urge. it's there. it's waiting)#(admittedly i DO like weddings but for the giant-party and drama-having aspects#the amount of Tradition involved can be. uh.#have you ever been a bridesmaid for your beloved childhood friend#while her Extremely Southern Baptist Minister Father#reads a bunch of the most misogynist out-of-context bible verses ever#and you exchange a Long Desperate Stare with your beloved friend#of I Know He's Your Dad And All But Christ Alive#yeah it's a thing lol)#anyway. sigh. yes i'm writing weddingfic

" 4 But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, 5 made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved." Ephesians 2:4-5 🌿🤍✞
I am alive
You knew I wasn't before
You have arose me from my death
I was blind-
You are the bright light
You are the only branch of hope
I was thirsty-
You give me enough water
You fill me with your everlasting peace
You're with me
You are the purposeful vine
Jesus is glorious and everyone will see
A poem I wrote about how Jesus set me free, I'm so grateful to be even writing this, he took all my troubles and pain away that I was putting on myself, Jesus lives forever in our hearts ♡♡♡, hope this can help & encourage you too in the freedom and life in Christ 🥹❤️🩹🌿

For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit.
