Did you see the video where Rogan reckons that Apple slows down their customers iPhones when a new model comes out forcing people to upgrade. They made an excuse of wearing out and such but Rogan reckons its a setup by Apple to force loyal customers to upgrade their Apple phones because the Apple iPhone that they currently own suddenly slows down when they launch a new Apple iPhone.
Seem far fetched?
Microsoft’s was taken to court for using built in software in the Windows Operating system back in the 1990’s that deliberately slowed down competitors software to make Micro$ofts software look faster than the software of competitors.

One of the hardest things that I had to get used to was driving and then getting phone calls for alarms and having to stop basically anywhere to answer the call. Same with text messages as well. It can be raining hard, or I am where there is no place to park or stop, or I have to stop on farm driveways of mud and so on, and then sometimes I have to turn around and go back and such. All the while I am having to watch other traffic, cars, trucks and people or animals on the roads.

Ard’s strong attention to detail creates a visual delight on canvas and enhances the relatability of his narratives. These charming scenes of childhood and witty commentaries on relationships and daily life are representative of Ard’s endearing humor that defines his signature style.
1 Timothy (2:8) I will therefore that men pray every where,
lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
○In training Timothy for the ministry, Paul wanted him to understand how the church works. So he began with the important stuff like prayer. In essence, Paul was saying, ‘Before you do anything else, pray. Before you teach anything else, teach your people to pray.’ Why?
Because if God’s not on your side, you won’t succeed! Most of us understand this intellectually. We say a quick prayer as we’re running out of the door. We say grace before a meal. We open our church services with prayer.But few of us grasp the real importance of prayer, and Paul didn’t want Timothy to be misled or misinformed about the place of prayer in the church. We dare not fool ourselves into thinking we can ‘make things happen’ without prayer. If a church isn’t a praying church, it doesn’t matter how well the pastor preaches or the choir sings, or how nice the building is.
For it to succeed, Jesus said, ‘My house shall be a house of prayer.
Oswald Chambers said, ‘We look upon prayer as a means of getting things for ourselves: the Bible’s idea of prayer is that we may get to know God Himself.’
You aren’t coming to church just to hear a lively sermon or a good song, you’re coming to meet with God. The pastor and the choir are vehicles through which He can speak, but there’s no substitute for prayer. It’s not merely a nice sentiment; your spiritual growth and survival depend on it. So if you’ve got out of the habit of praying–right now get back into it!

The poor are made low so that God puts the poor in his rightful place of honour when his time has come.Don’t give unto anger and lust, and wrath.Some people are meek but are angry inside.

James Chapter 1, verses 19-25:
Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath:
For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God.
Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:
For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.
But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.

The word of God will save your soul.

1 Peter Chapter 1,verses 22-25:
Seeing ye have purified your souls in obeying the truth through the Spirit unto unfeigned love of the brethren, see that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently:
Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away:
But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. And this is the word which by the gospel is preached unto you.

The power of God is seen in creation.The sin nature is gone in you when you get to Heaven.

Psalms 19, verses 1-11:
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple.
The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever: the judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: and in keeping of them there is great reward.

If you want to be set aside from evil, then follow Christ. If you want to be a follower of evil just walk away from Christ.

Psalms 119, verses 8-11:
I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.
Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.
With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.
Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.
°
You have nothing to fall back on without God. You have only yourself to blame lfor following your parents and friends because you put them before God.Keep your soul pure by the words of God.
By keeping your soul blessed you will make good choices.”Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.” – an overflowing in wickedness.
°
Acts 9, verse 1:
And Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord, went unto the high priest,
°
Saul was evil, an atheist, selfish and mean. Yet Saul was completely forgiven when he recognized Christ.If you put anything before God you are making an idol of it, even people. If you listen to your parents tell you that an evil act is a good act, then you are putting God aside and putting your parents first.

Colossians Chapter 3, verses 5-6:
Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry:
For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:
°
Lay evils aside, have a good attitude.”But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.”Be meek in receiving God’s instruction.You need an attitude of reception, “those that have ears hear…” .
Not just lip service.

Hebrews Chapter 8, verses 6-7:
But now hath he obtained a more excellent ministry, by how much also he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises.

Hebrews Chapter 8, verse 10:
For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, and write them in their hearts: and I will be to them a God, and they shall be to me a people:
°
Are God’s ways in your heart, has it become implanted in your ways, are you a doer of God’s ways of kindness and decency?”But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.”You are not deceiving God, you are deceiving yourselvesGod expects progress. Constant progress, day by day. Be a doer of God’s guidance. When God guides you act, to it, pray for His guidance every morning.It is not just looking into it, it is doing it, becoming it, letting God change your life.
*
If you look into your soul like you look in a mirror you would change your soul when you saw the evil that you have accepted and are actively doing.
*
Don’t listen to others, your walk is between you and Christ. Only you know your thoughts and feelings, and only you knows your instincts. Follow the truth, not the spirituality blind.
*
Your life is a determining factor of your heart. The good should be blessed in your deeds.The truth is of freedom, liberation from sin and slavery.Put aside naughtiness and filth, and depart from the sins of your family whether they proclaim follow God or not.We are not to be ignorant to the Devils devices. We are to be strong and depart from evil.

John 16:7-14:
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
Of sin, because they believe not on me; 16:10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

In those days came John the Baptist, preaching in the wilderness of Judaea, And saying, Repent ye: for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.

Acts 26, verse 20:
But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.
°
The message of repentance is the same. Broad is the way to destruction.Some are too proud to come to Christ.Matthew 18:4 Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven. 18:5 And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me. 18:6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.Pride. They won’t humble themselves. The pride of accomplishments etc. Unwilling to humble themselves. They will not receive Christ.
They worry about what others think.Peer pressure.

Titus 2:11 For the grace of God that bringeth salvation hath appeared to all men, 2:12 Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;

Some falsely believe that they are saved. They are deluded, lost, confused, and they think they they are saved, like the charismatic movement etc.This is very dangerous, because they have come to the conclusion
Falsely led by the religious lost.

Elephant story
○
Get the whole picture.God is good no matter what happens, or what is happening.Life can show us what contradicts what we know of God. We can misinterpret God’s goodness.Job went through much suffering, yet he was a Just man of God, he is faithful.People think that God is Obligated to give us goodies, we think, if we are good.God puts us through trials to make us more like Him.
Psalms 73:3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.People are content by their unbelief. They feel secure in their doing wrong. People don’t realise that the problem comes after death.Earthly goods are of little value.
Psalms 73:5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.
73:6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.
73:7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.
73:8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.
73:9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.
73:10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.
73:11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?
73:12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.
In Psalm 73 complains at following God.You don’t need to feel sorry for someone who fella sorry for himself.We should try to look ahead. We need to look ahead, should we follow God or other paths.If we are discouraged we shouldn’t share those thoughts with others.Grabbed the elephants trail thinking we know all about life.We always look at life for ourselves.Looking at life from a human perspective.
Psalms 73:17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.He understands that the wicked will suffer from looking at life from a heavenly perspective.God has always had a place for us to meet.He had to get his eyes off himself.
Mental people unusable J Adams.
If you have soon in your life have hope. People can change.We must lose our human perspective, and gain a more heavenly understanding of life.The wicked may seem to have the best here, but one day they will wake up from the world dreamDon’t be jealous of them, they are suffering. They are living on borrowed time.What do you want, heaven or heel.The foolishness of ourselves by looking at life from a human perspective.Prepare, but know that God will take care of you.God hears. Instead of doubting, and stop living by sight.He discovered that he had spiritual blessings. We all have them.Rich people are bounded by their money.Footprint poem.God holds our hands.The Comforter, a helper, we have a haven sent helper, in the spirit of God. He is a protector.
Job 23v10God is trying to purify us. He will protect us.
Psalms 73:24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory. 73:25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. 73:26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.
Psalms 73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.Finally he sees life from God’s perspective.Change the place we are standing – elephant.We need to believe that God is who He says He is.We feel that the load is too heavy.It cant to pass

Make the effort to see things God’s way.
Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. 4:15 For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. 4:16 Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
○
Trust Christ.We need a spiritual Salvation. You either have God or are not saved.Salvation = saving faith in Christ.We all need help passing through life. We need someone to guide our steps.
Superior. Christ is better than all. He knows all that needs knowing. Intercesor.People can let us down. Christ won’t let us down.The veil want ripped in two. We have access to God all the time now.
Hebrews 4:11 Let us labour therefore to enter into that rest, lest any man fall after the same example of unbelief. 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
1st John Chapter 2v19Genuine believers don’t leave God. Christ has sympathy for us, empathy, a caring heart.Christ was a servant. He experienced things to find out how people felt. He hungered, fear, pain, was hated, disappointed, misunderstood, tempted, he understood love, joy, compassion etc. He is able toHe went through all our situations. So Christ is able to help us. He was tempted on all ways.His temptation was to learn stay out was like. He can comfort us even we go though them.Shock =defence system to switch is off. Christ had a full range of what we go through, that is how he could help us. He endured it.He is able to help them who are tempted.He is our sanctuary. Because Christ understand the human experience.
Hebrews Chapter 4, verse 16: Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.We will obtain mercy and grace when we come to Christ. We need God in every area of our life.Unless we are doing something for God we think that we don’t need Him. We can find help on our time of need.Of you are not saved he isn’t your Good, He is your judgement
1 Corinthians 6:15 Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 6:16 What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 6:18 Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 6:19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 6:20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s.
You are not your own. We are the temple of God. We have the spirit of God within is.What we do has a great difference to us spiritually.Start we touch God touches.
In Corinth they lived in sin. Diana.God expects His temple to be clean. It may be your body, but it is God’s temple.Dedication holy dedicated to God. Nothing defiled. Our body set aside for the glory of God.
God’s will, but not my will. We belong to the Lord. What we do with our body shows our dedication to God.
Die to fornication. All sexual sin is fornication. Safe sex is in the bounds of marriage. Uncleanness and impure thoughts etc.
When my daughter Rachel was about 3-4 years
old she was going through a very naughty stage.
○I was a single parent at that time. Rachel was often getting into trouble and causing trouble, all of which to her was her just having fun.
I got into the bad habit of yelling at her or smacking her, but I hated yelling at her or smacking her, it felt wrong, a bad thing to do.
I would sometimes yell at her then go to my room and cry my heart out because I felt like a bad person, a bad parent, yet I was doing what I knew.
°
This was the problem, “What I knew”.
I was “acting out” what my parents were, and there was this battle between my Soul and Spiritual Heart. The Soul full of childhood history of being yelled at and being physically punished in various ways, and the Spiritual Heart within me crying in anguish at what I was becoming and how I was hurting Rachel and myself.What I knew at that stage in life was limited by what I had been shown about parenting from two Toxic People, my dysfunctional parents. So with this appalling historical parenting background I was making many mistakes because I had no idea what to do, and unconsciously I was resorting to what they did with me with my own children.
I sure don’t want to turn out like my father or mother or to treat my own children like my parents treated me.
💛
My heart was demanding change, and I didn’t want to quieten my heart, so I sought other answers to my parenting dilemma that would put my heart at ease.I also realised that if I was the adult then I was supposed to be the mature one and more capable. To blame the child (as I have seen many parents do) is to pretend to myself that the child was out of reach and uncontrollable, when in reality I was unprepared for my role as a parent and was struggling to find positive effective results that would suit my children and myself.
The fault was with me not my children.
*
I needed to change, be born again to parenting, re-educated, and to find other more loving and effective ways to be a parent. From this positive change Rachel and I improved as people, our relationship got better, and the situation in the home changed for the better.
