I've manifest a lot of things but this one is so cool. From people moving out of the road on the hwy, to best parking spots, to parrots this one just happened tonight.

I needed one cabinet that had two separate spaces. One had to have double doors and one had to have one door that I could remove. It had to be 36 inches wide and 10 inches deep for a space I have. bout two weeks ago I was measuring and visualizing exactly what I needed.

This one came up and I asked if take $100, that's all I had and he said 'sure.' We go to his house this evening and he has a Trump floor mat we go in and meet the elderly lady who proceeds to talk to me about her love for Trump. We both had a bonding 15 minutes talking about the cheating election in 2020,and a few other things related.

We went back to look at the hutch she tells me that her husband made it by hand like 20 years ago and just decided to part with it which surprised her.GOD had him make this 20 years ago for me. It's 36 X10 inches

👍 ... Are you sure *you* manifested it? .. appears as God had you covered long before you would know you even needed it!

"Our heavenly Father has a thousand ways to provide for us, of which we know nothing. Those who accept the one principle of making the service and honor of God supreme will find perplexities vanish, and a plain path before their feet." - Ellen White, Desire of Ages (pub 1898)

I could no longer use the same terminology the church used to indoctrinate me. Because I learned it at a very young age and everything I heard was angry hateful vengeful because that was the way it sounded. So now for me and probably others that have gone through the same thing or just trying to find truth, we can not use the same language because of the meanings attached to it as a child. I can imagine for someone that had loving parents that kindly guided them they'd think God was the same way. It's different for everyone but God knows each and every one of us better than we know ourselves and the compassion overflows from God to us within us.

I hear you and I'm so sorry you've suffered that way and experienced such damage. People can be so very cruel but we must learn that it's not God behind such behavior but his enemy, who's sole purpose is to destroy God's character in our eyes and side track any chance for us of a real authentic loving relationship w/ Him

I don't know if this will help but as far as getting to know God as He really is it helps (w/ prayer) to read and study the Bible for ourselves so no one else comes between us and our heavenly father as He reveals himself directly to us through His word.

and I know that sounds blasphemous to some people but it's not. God is within all of us and speaks directly to us all the time. We just had to know how to hear and listen. Jesus did it all the time. I'm totally not that good but I strive every moment. Fasting and being virginal and pure is very important. Not getting angry because that is from Fear. That is not the straight and narrow. The straight and narrow is where you can Hear God. Jesus showed us the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE. The TRUTH is the most powerful thing anyone can obtain. The WAY is through the TRUTH and that leads to the LIFE.

Important distinction to make though .. Jesus was more than just a way 'shower' ... he said that *he* was 'the way the truth and the life' .. that no one could come unto the father but *by him*

That's an amazing statement whereby Jesus separated himself from ALL other paths and teachers.

It's actually *HE* .. working through and within us (via His spirit) .. that accomplishes everything good in us.

It's why *all* glory is due to God first and foremost, not to belittle the part we play in yoking ourselves to Him but it's simply acknowledging from whence ALL and EVERYTHING good first derives of which we can be *partakers* of his divine nature.

"Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust." 2Pet1:4

I'm saying they sound like doubts you have and are struggling with. This is not something I am struggling with.

Just responding to something you said about Jesus 'showing' us 'the way the truth and the life'

Just quoting the actual scripture that points to. The difference in the Biblical framing of that is significant and crucial I think?

Sure. I don't think we disagree. I just think you are internalizing what I said and instead of asking what I meant you're assuming what I meant. It's fine we're on the same page. Jesus is the WAY the TRUTH and the LIFE but see Jesus is God.

I gotcha .. exactly right ...

I'm careful to protect that distinction about Jesus *being* the Way, Truth, and Life because it's a clear claim by Jesus Himself of His exclusiveness.

As opposed to say Buddha who's claim was merely to *know* the way and able to 'show' it. A teacher in the company of others whereas Jesus was exclusively fully God incarnate.

yes I totally agree. I do not know much about buddah. I think because you do, you assumed that is what I meant. Understandable. It is better to ask a question though instead of making and assumption. It's the best way quickly clear up misunderstandings.

cool ... no offense meant

Sure I know. It's just the difference between me saying to you 'You need to correct yourself' and 'am I hearing you correctly?' One is better right? And when telling me I needed to correct myself, in fact it was you that needed correcting. No? Just saying asking question works better.

fair enough .. 👍

Well good night. The dialog will change everyone for the better. Things will get right down to the TRUTH. It will all be about truth and clarity. Dialog creates connection. It is possible.

But I do see how you heard the difference between 'shower' and 'the only way to God.' I had to read back you had me so confused. It is something that means a lot to you and you're afraid if someone doesn't understand that in just this way that maybe you're failing or not doing your job? You were afraid of the way I said it because it wasn't 'right' to you? I get it. I really do.

I think the dialog can help you on this one but it is something you have to do with your imago or husband or partner. Sounds like guilt, shame or a feeling of inadequacies that drives you to 'help' other. That's so totally normal and most people are exactly this way. Fear I may go to hell or not make my way to heaven? This is something you need to do with your husband. Dialog will help you see it totally differen

Well it's not really all that complicated. We're to serve Him in Truth and if He's the *only* way as scripture makes clear then it's important people know that so they don't get Him mixed up with his enemy who's myriad 'ways' and teachings are so deceptively similar.
Scripturally and in Truth it's the core of that narrow way you spoke of.
May God bless us both with deeper understanding of His word and closer walk with Him.

ps ..I'm the gnarly one .. she passed a few years back
