"THE IMPORTANCE OF UNDERSTANDING AND KNOWLEDGE"

THE HOLY SPIRIT’S WORK IN JEREMIAH: God’s call and anointing upon Jeremiah’s life as a prophet began in the womb. God reveals to Jeremiah, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew [and] approved of you [as My chosen instrument], and before you were born I separated and set you apart, consecrating you; [and] I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.” (Jeremiah 1:5 AMPC). This reveals that the…

oh yeah so uh we went to the city today bc i got some clothing vouchers for work clothes from the dept of rehabilitation services and. one of the stores i needed to go to (she couldnt find any stores on the list that sold all the items i need so it had to be broken up) was closed (we were originally gonna go on saturday but dad was sick) and the other store like. got really confused the lady at the desk called over her manager and then he called his manager and she was like "ive never seen this before but it doesnt have the code we need so we cant take it" except idk but i think she didnt understand how it works bc she was saying they need like a government credit card number essentially to charge the clothes onto but my case worker told me (i thought) that the store had to fill out the paper and send it to the office to then recieve payment rather than them getting the payment immediately? anyway im confused and pissed bc i wanted to go on saturday so i could have sunday to recover from the pain of spending several hours in the car but since dad was sick we didnt. and i didnt even get to get the clothes anyway. mom and dad ended up buying me like that one pair of jeans and two shirts from a resell store or whatever its called and the pants barely fit but they didnt have any in my size. what even ever tomorrow is not going to be good but at least once its over with i will know if like . im gonna be ABLE to even do this job. i think i should have enough ability to sit while doing tasks or even maybe take breaks for it to not flare up my pain too much but i literally cannot know until i do it. which is severely fucked up. and the fact that im already going to be in pain from what ended up being a virtually useless car trip and really didnt need to put myself through that, AND on top of that im gonna have to go BACK out to the city this weekend. meaning i will have no full days of leisure for two weeks which means unceasing pain :(

#i really really shouldnt have let the manager fast talk me into taking that one hour shift on sundays #its for one of the two clients i see mon-fri and apparently shes a bit of a problem client lmao.#so my thinking is like ill go in and see what happens and if we have Problems ill pull the starry eyed newbie card #and be like “please im only new and i cant handle this 🥺”#and then Make Sure she gives me the number of hours i requested and not more (i asked for 20-25 #w no more than 5 hour days #and she put me in for 5.5 hour days + 1 hour on sun for a total of 28 hours #she asked if it was fine but my brain wasnt doing the math right i didnt understand what she was saying 😔#but its like 3 hours to make one or two meals do dishes and help her bathe? so i THINK there should be time to sit and recover

“For while we were still helpless, at the right time Christ died for the ungodly. For one will hardly die for a righteous man; though perhaps for the good man someone would dare even to die. But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him. For if while we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. And not only this, but we also exult in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation.” —Romans 5:6‭-‬11 (NASB)

“Just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life a ransom for many.” —Matthew 20:28 (NASB)

“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” —1 Peter 2:24 (NIV)

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with Me. He who overcomes, I will grant to him to sit down with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.’” —Revelation 3:20‭-‬22 (NASB)

“Restored by Love” By In Touch Ministries:

“God graciously offers to remove the burden of sin from anyone who comes to Him.”

“What emotions do you feel when you hear the word sin? Perhaps embarrassment, discomfort, or even shame? Well, there’s a reason why. We weren’t meant for sin or the negative consequences that come with it.

Sin—or hamartia in Greek, meaning “to miss the mark”—separates us from our heavenly Father. The perfect union and harmony that Adam and Eve shared with Him in the garden was lost the moment sin entered the picture.

Today, many millennia after that painful breach occurred, we still sense something vital is missing. Countless people spend their whole life trying to fill that void. However, only God’s love and presence can adequately address the ache it causes. And that’s why Jesus came—“to give His life as a ransom for many,” rescue us from the power of sin and death, and reunite us with the One who loves us beyond all measure (Matthew 20:28).

If you’ve trusted in Jesus, you can rejoice because sin has already been defeated by His atoning sacrifice (1 Peter 2:24). And if you haven’t yet made that decision, know that He’s waiting for you to open the door (Revelation 3:20-22).”

probably for the best that kiryu was asleep/passed out/??? for the whole majima/park/katsuya conversation in new serena cause I think at that point he’d have an aneurism if one more thing fucked him up emotionally

#though it’s funny to think about the fact that I think that means he’s like the only one unaware of majima’s history with mirei #which is kind of funny not gonna lie #everyone already knows and understands that they were married at one point and if it gets offhandedly mentioned later on no one would bat #an eye except kiryu who’s just standing there like #im sorry majima’s ex WHAT now #fgagshshshg #anyway i was groaning through akiyama’s dramatic read on the photograph and the letter ie the whole ‘two lovers forced to be apart…’ sorta #lines bshfjdbfndb like boy that sure sounds. not realistic at all #these are some fucked up individuals who had a fucked up dynamic (park described it herself and even if she didn’t try to antagonize him #much the situations she described spoke for themselves. also the fact that she was 19 and he was 28 but anyway) no way in hell was this a 20 #years of romeo and juliet type pining or some shit. like. be for real #dhdhfjfjdf I have some. complaints about this but. I should just shut up and keep watching probably #rambling #y5 #yakuza 5 spoilers

"This Life" / "The Way"

“This Life” / “The Way”

When I was in college there was a cult pouring its poison into unsuspecting students who didn’t know their Bible. Truth is there were dozens of these cults stalking the spiritual lives of young impressionable students. The one that I am thinking of called itself “THE WAY”. They used biblical words, talked a lot about “Jesus” and offered a weekend class called “Power for Abundant Living” for…

Whumptober 2022: Cordula

OC: Cordula

more Cordula prompt entries: whump2021-dread|oc2021-embrace

Don’t Play With Fire

It had been three days, and Cordula could still feel her heart pounding. Three days since…… She could still smell the smoke and the burning flesh. Regret lingered where the panic had left. It’s not like she meant to do it—Cordula had only been desperate to save her friends. And it had called out to her—the heart. Just a harmless looking lump of obsidian, until it turned functionally into a flamethrower in her hands. Not a single burn was left on her own skin. Not even a singe. And in the aftermath of the scene, while her friends undid their bonds and took stock of injuries, Cordula had been the only one to notice. The obsidian heart, which had been in her hands mere seconds before, had vanished into thin air. She hadn’t told her friends anything was wrong, yet. Let them believe the matter was behind them. But it wasn’t long before Cordula started to feel ill, and the others definitely noticed.

It started slowly. They’d ask her why she was dragging behind, and she’d tell them she was tired, and they’d accept that. But then she was dragging behind even more, day after day after day. She felt nauseous, exhausted, her heart stuttering and her head filled with cotton. Sluggishly, she peeled off her jacket during a walk, feeling much too warm.

“What’re you doing? It’s freezing out here!” her girlfriend cried out, rushing to her side as they trudged up a snowy hill, wind whipping at their clothes.

“Too warm,” Cordula muttered, but her friends swarmed around her, adding more coats and scarves off their own bodies as her girlfriend felt her forehead.

“You’re really warm. Don’t worry, we’ll get you home soon.”

As soon as they did, Cordula spent the rest of the day lying on the couch, barely conscious, catching bits and pieces of her friends talking about her. The next several days were the same, Cordula fading in and out of consciousness as her friends came and went. They’d pile blankets onto her every time they came home, and she’d push them onto the floor every time she woke up alone. Finally, she felt herself wake up fully, just in time to catch her friends going out the door.

“Hey, wait up. I want to come with.”

“Are you sure?” one of her friends asked as they turned to face her, surprised. Cordula nodded.

“I don’t feel too warm anymore, I think I’m alright.” It took some more pestering but they finally let her come with, although she didn’t fail to notice the concerned looks when her girlfriend brushed her hand across Cordula’s forehead again.

Truthfully, she didn’t feel warm anymore. Not to her, anyway. But she didn’t feel good. The nausea was still there, and her head was pounding right alongside her heart, which was threatening to jump out of her chest. But she wanted to go with her friends. She felt she could. And more, she felt a creeping dread that this might be her last chance to.

Cordula didn’t even realize she was in a daze until she came to mid-step, in a blustering cold street lined with shops. Her girlfriend was beside her, seemingly waiting for the others to exit a small store. They were both wearing jackets, but the wind seemed to chill straight through the fabric, and seep into Cordula’s bones.

“I’m cold,” she said softly, and her girlfriend looked at her surprised.

“Here,” she said, pulling her jacket off and handing it to Cordula. “Take it, I’ll be alright.” She took it gratefully but as they were all walking back home, Cordula noticed her girlfriend was shivering, and tried to hand the jacket back, only to be met with refusal. She shed both coats once inside again, pushing away all the pain and ill-ease in her body to sit down and just eat with her friends. Just eat and pretend everything was normal.

But she could only ignore the nausea and the pounding headache and the too-fast beat of her heart for so long. The moment she showed discomfort on her face, all the attention was on her again. Cordula retreated to the bathroom for some time to compose herself, but her friends were right there when she came out. They quickly handed her something out of the shopping bag from earlier that day. It was a medical thermometer. Hesitantly, and really not wanting to, Cordula stuck it in her mouth and watched the worried and horrified looks on her friends faces as the screen read 105.3 F. Then before their eyes, the number went up even more, and Cordula doubled over in pain.

This was a whole new sensation. One like being cooked from the inside out. Suddenly more than too warm once again. She felt as if she were being burned alive. All she could do was try to breathe in and out. In and out.

And then it stopped. Cordula straightened back up, took in the pale faces of her friends. And then she blacked out.

She dreamed of darkness, of cold and of death. And then of blood, and tears, and agonized wails. And then life. Life struggling, fighting to cling to itself, crawling across the ground aimlessly as it faded, as if using its last moments to search for some kind of purpose, or meaning. And then she dreamed of destruction. Storms and natural disasters and fire. A whole forest up in flames. And then ashes and new life. And fire again. And then she was free-floating in space, dwarfed by an incredible vast sun. The heat radiated off it in waves and one of those waves engulfed her and then the sun was gone, only emptiness in its place. And then she burned, and radiated heat, and burned some more until she was the sun. And then darkness. And then the feeling of a blade piercing her chest, digging in deep and then digging in again. She woke up, back on the couch, and her girlfriend was right there, kneeling on the floor and stroking Cordula’s hair. Her girlfriend smiled, more forced than hopeful, as they made eye contact. Cordula felt a single sentence leave her lips before she sunk under the lull of sleep once more.

“They carved out my heart.”

Everything after that was a blur. Waking up and passing out dozens of times a day, only to catch snippets of conversations, arguments, swearing and worried voices. She never really noticed the whimpers leaving her mouth as pain continued to wrack through her body. Hardly noticed that she had started to complain of being cold again, or the discussions going on of how to get her some help. No one knew what was going on—that much was clear. She took the water they handed her whenever she was awake until she drank it and almost screamed at the burning feeling in her throat. She was aware of the tears that rolled down her cheeks now, because they left a searing pain in their wake.

She became lucid enough one day to notice a few more things. The fire blanket wrapped around her body. The blackened and singed patches on the couch she slept on. Her friend’s voices, filled with panic and anger once again. There was a small slip of paper on a table near her. Cordula reached for it, but the paper blackened under her touch. Bewildered and disturbed, she squinted at it instead. It was a list of numbers next to other numbers. Temperatures next to dates, she realized. Oh shit. She had to be dreaming. Or hallucinating. Or suddenly dyslexic, even.

“What is a hospital going to do for her?” one of her friends hissed. “She shouldn’t even be alive!”

Cordula had to mentally agree. She shouldn’t be alive. Not at 279 F.

She didn’t know how long she was out after that. Only that the next time she awoke, Cordula was standing in a clean, white, and on-fire room, surrounded by intact cryogenic chambers, and in front of one very warped, very blackened chamber. And it had her name on it.

“Follow all the directions the LORD your God has given you. Life will go well for you.” —Deuteronomy 5:33 (GW)

“Obedience Is the Key That Unlocks God’s Promises” By Rick Warren:

“Have you ever thought about the link between faith and obedience? When you trust someone, you do what they say. If you don’t do what someone tells you to do, it means you don’t trust them.

In the Bible, God links faith and obedience over and over again. The promises of God are conditioned on you following the directions he gives you.

Deuteronomy 5:33 says, “Follow all the directions the Lord your God has given you. Life will go well for you” (GW).

God has made some incredible, specific promises in his Word about obedience. In fact, there are so many promises that I can’t list them all here. But here are a few:

“God blesses those who obey him” (Proverbs 16:20 TLB).

“He saves those who obey him” (Psalm 7:10 GNT).

“The Lord watches over those who obey him” (Psalm 33:18 GNT).

“The Lord takes care of those who obey him” (Psalm 37:18 GNT).

“God gives us what we ask for because we obey God’s commands” (1 John 3:22 NCV).

“Always obey the Lord and you will be happy” (Proverbs 28:14 GNT).

“Keep God’s laws and you will live longer” (Proverbs 19:16 GNT).

“Those who obey him have all they need . . . Those who obey the Lord lack nothing good” (Psalm 34:9-10 GNT).

That’s an incredible list of promises. If you follow God’s directions, you’ll be blessed, saved, watched over, taken care of, given what you ask for, and happy; you’ll live longer and lack nothing good.

Obedience is the premise behind all of the promises. God gives you his promises by grace. But you get to enjoy his promises when you follow his instructions.

Sometimes you understand God’s instructions. But sometimes you don’t. And you need to obey whether or not you understand.

Some of God’s commands might sound confusing. Some may seem unfair. For example, the Bible says to take the first 10 percent of your income and give it back to him. It says that when people do evil to you, you are to do good back to them. These things don’t always make sense from a human standpoint. But the things that don’t make sense to us are the things God asks us to do by faith. He wants us to trust him and obey anyway.

I want you to enjoy all of God’s promises. Obedience is the key that unlocks them. Choose to follow his directions today in faith. He promises to reward you for your obedience.”
