"And, heaven shall be considered a spiritual
state of everlasting communion with God. So long
as one is 'caught up' in the Divine Spirit, as
'clouds' shall designate the spiritual realm of
calm peace...everlasting. And, the worldly 'man-mind'
puts forth imaginary foolishness, for they appear
not to comprehend the significance of God as being
of a Divine Spirit...no more...no less."

Subject: Fwd: Another Observation About The Virus
Passing this on from a friend. Two easy things to do...whether necessary or not...it doesn't hurt to do either. This info is from my friend that works for CDC that passed this along to his family and friends. I'm passing it along as well..
The neNCPCcoronavirusus may not show sign of infection for many days, how can one know if he/she is infected. By the time they have fever and/or cough and goes to the hospital, the lungs is usually 50 % Fibrosis and it's too late!
Taiwan experts provide a simple self-check that we can do every morning:
Take a deep breath and hold your breath for more than 10 seconds. If you complete it successfully without coughing, without discomfort, stuffiness or tightness, etc.,it proves there is no fibrosis in the lungs, basically indicating no infection.
In critical times, please self-check every morning in an environment with clean air.
SERIOUS EXCELLENT ADVICE by Japanese Doctors treatinCOVIDID-19 cases:
Everyone should ensure your mouth & throat is moist, never DRY. Take a few sips of water every 1minsns at least. WHY?
Even if the virus gets into your mouth...drinking water or other liquids will WASH them down through your esophagus into the stomach. Once there in tummy...your stomach ACID will kill all the virus. If you don't drink enough water more regularly....the virus can enter your windpipes and into the LUNGS. That's very dangerous.
Plsls send and share with family.

" It has been concluded by many, that Theology / and or Religion, fills the head with what one has heard or read, and can be anything one desires to practice. On the other side, Spirituality fills an individuals' heart, as defined by God. One is often forced or coerced, the other being chosen. One being of man's terms, the other of God's terms.
And, one should be aware of pride, often being kin to arrogance. An attempt to promote ones personal social 'status' in hope
of self recognition, shall be considered pride for personal gain, and also considered selfish behavior. Pride may be appropriate
in certain circumstances. Let us hope humility, gratitude and the Holy Spirit prevails. And, within these many pages, appears
much of the one, and emptiness of the other. "

"IF...all the energy put forth concerning opinionated attitudes and behavior,
were by chance, redirected towards an effort of serving God...the pages within would tremble
with joy. EGO, has a way of preventing God's purpose, 'to be' ...here in the now.

Theology...
'A divine influence directly and immediately exerted upon the mind or soul.
the divine quality of the writings or words of a person so influenced.'
Inspiration...
'The process of being mentally stimulated to do or feel something, especially to do something creative. ( to act upon )
vulnerability of religious faith, its bouts of frailty in the face of this or that eras challenges. Hence the word secular: the things of a particular time. Such worldliness yet we yield to or seek outright the profane: ideas and values and habits and interests that have their origin in our earthly lives, our day-to-day desires, worries, frustrations, resentments.
Aggressively ideological, a philosophy that directly takes on a belief in God, a lived commitment to principles and practices upheld in His (or Her or Its) name. The issue, rather, has commonly been regarded (and in letters, essays, books pronounced) as psychological rather than cultural or sociological: the tug, seemingly inevitable, of our senses, our appetites, upon the direction of our energies. God awaits us, as do the various houses of worship that insist upon and celebrate the primacy of the sacred, yet we yield to or seek outright the profane: ideas and values and habits and interests that have their origin in our earthly lives, our day-to-day desires, worries, frustrations, resentments.'

Subject: 40 ®
The official lock down started March 23 and will likely end May 1st. That is EXACTLY 40 days.
The Latin root of the word "quarantine" is "forty".
So what does the Bible say about 40?
The flood lasted 40 days.
40 years Moses fled Egypt.
40 days Moses stayed on Mount Sinai to receive the Commandments.
Exodus lasted 40 years.
Jesus fasted for 40 days.
40 days for a woman to rest after giving birth.
Optimum number of weeks for human gestation is 40.
A group of theologians thinks the number 40 represents "change”. It is the time of preparing a person, or people, to make a fundamental change.
Something will happen after these 40 days. Just believe and pray. Remember, whenever the number 40 appears in the Bible, there is a "change".
Please know that during this "quarantine" rivers are cleaning up, vegetation is growing, the air is becoming cleaner because of less pollution, there is less theft and murder, healing is happening, and most importantly, people are turning to Christ. The Earth is at rest for the first time in many years and hearts are truly transforming.
Remember we are in the year 2020, and 20 + 20 = 40.
Also, 2020 is the year of the United States Census. Jesus Christ, the savior of the world, was born during a census.
Lastly, 2020 is perfect vision. May our sight focus on the Lord and living according to His perfect vision for us knowing He holds us in the palm of His hand.

'Relationships are founded on four types of Intimacy... Physical, Intellectual,
Emotional, and Spiritual, most often on the physical type first with the other types
developing in time as communication continues, as new affinities and realities are
established. In truth, all relationships contain to some degree all the types, and
the area of the base of the pyramid bounded by the four types is a measure of
the completeness of the relationship.
On the Intellectual type are all the means by which we convey reason and logic.
On the Emotional type are the awareness of body language, the symbiosis of
sympathy and empathy, of honest care and concern for the other . It is extremely
important that we be emotionally available to our partner in a relationship. It is
probably the greatest failing of men, who generally have learned to suppress
feelings from an early age. We must all learn to not invalidate the other's feelings.
They are theirs and are real to them. They may be mis-emotion and feelings, but
they are valid nonetheless.
On the Physical type are all the bonding mechanisms of sexuality that exist, man
to man, woman to woman and man to woman.
On the Spiritual type perhaps the greatest communication with a partner is the
acceptance that each individual must come to spiritual maturity in their own manner,
that each is recognized as a Child of the Creator, and that their perception and
understanding is valued, acknowledged and validated. Their perception should never
be invalidated, but may be led to greater understanding and maturity by example.
It also might be said that if the relationship were to exist on only one type, it
would be shallow indeed.'

Yes without parables the signified tongue of God, Christ spoke not. Without understanding the parable no man could please Him or seek after God who is not a man.
Without understanding parables no man could walk or understanding the eternal things of God not seen .The understanding they provide make clearer the things of God when looking into the dark glass the mysteries. Parables make them known by providing the hidden gospel understanding.
We walk by that underderstanding as the parable reveal faith the unseen .
