  1. Who is the unforgiving servant? We need to incorporate this lesson into our own lives/mind/practice. If we don't extend it we won't receive it. Justice and forgiveness have a dependent relationship. Forgiveness should occur whether or not we receive justice. Forgiveness is not about changing the other person, their actions, or their behavior. We become removed from their influence. Forgiveness is important because if we don't forgive it creates tension, anger, and destructive rather than positive thoughts. If we get rid of these feelings, understand why we have these feelings, rebuild our world and let go we can move forward. Promise God, our family, friends that we will stop dwelling on this we can stop searching for reasons for behavior until we are satisfied It is about how I feel. It is about how I understand what happened. It is about how I know i won;t happened again.
  2. How do we give thanks for our salvation? How do we give thanks? The woman was saved during dinner when Jesus told her she was saveed. Boundary hit on where/when are we living in ignorance or being saved from ourselves. It is a sign of God's power when and how we see ourselves. Whether we are in need or in gratitude for what we received.
  3. This parable taught me about the Father and God's power of forgiveness. Both the Father and God forgiver over and over again. The son finds is way back to his Father and God time after time. The lesson for me is to find a way to get back to the father/God anytime and anywhere. One way is to meditate my way back through prayer, reflecion, and mediation. I can find ways to connect/reconnect with God any time during the day with personal tricks to guide my way back to Him.
  4. What does God desire for us? What God wants us to believe, know, and do is to contemplate how God's love can shape us. We have the capacity for change of us, community and world in our lives. In God's heart and at the heart is that God wants us to feel valued. God wants us to love ourselves as much as He love us. Each person has to find his/her own meaning/purpose and contemplate fulfilling it. We must a=find a need in the community and fill it.
  5. Quite literally to have a desire of the flesh quenched by the the Living Water. To be nourished by Living Water and then share how that Living Water nourished you to another person. To be sustained by the flow of Living Water.
  6. Lamb brings light by bringing the Word. When we read the Bible we allow the Lamb to lead Jesus to us. Why would Lamb come as Light, so we an see and hear and shine and be heard.
  7. The Lord and the Lamb are the Temple.. So how do your people recognize it as being distinct from the dwellings of others? It must be made of something that the followers value and long for. His place breaks down walls/barriers. There are walls between different groups of people in a Church. Walls prevent people from entering. The Tabernacle in the Wilderness was movable. The Temple in Jerusalem had real walls. Instructions were given by God on how to build them. What are the people outside the walls of the Church trying to destroy? What kind of power are they looking for? We live in this world day by day and are looking for a place to go to. .
  8. If you see God's face , you will not live. You will die. Only 1 person has seen God's face and that was his son, Jesus Christ. As human beings it is impossible to see God's face. Jesus was limited by his flesh so we could see Him, but in Heaven we must be seeing the 3 faces of God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  9. We can't survive without water. Water defines life and sustains us even into eternity. It isn't who is asking for this water or where, it is important that we give it when asked. Sometimes it is not so much what you do but to listen for the voice, the asking for water and to hear.
  10. Reflection in terms of penitence and preparation for confession should be on a daily basis. Sometimes we become too busy to reflect upon what happened to us that day and it slides away to some dark region of our minds. But with the Lamb shining its light upon us we will find this place and give its proper attention--then we feel the warmth of the Lamb's light.
  11. It is a place where there is no more sin, anywhere. It is an opportunity to do whatever you can to gain a place there.
  12. Creation of a beautiful city, with God fulfilling his promises. In righteousness and justice, love and mercy. You will know it is the Lord.
  13. The suffering in the presence of the Lamb is referring to those who follow the beast. The torture will be forever and done for vindication.
  14. What a happy occasion to witness. Seeing Jesus Christ with his church. He has come to be with us and fix the church.
  15. The first step is to have knowledge in the subject. Decide how you can react to the situation. So the pressure should be to do the right thing and get rid of sin in our life.
  16. The song of the Lamb is about the goodness of Jesus and he song of Moses is about God's teachings.
  17. The Lamb shows us the true state of the church and what that state is. We are meant to have life and have it abundantly. But to do that , to follow the Lamb, you must be aware of all the times and reasons when and why you aren't following him. Following the Lamb is a verb, a state of being, an action word. We need a statement of action- a plan. For if you make a plan it is easier to find and follow him.
  18. Mountains are a very spiritual place. In Old Testament mountains were used as altars and temples. Perhaps it is the coming of a huge temple or a huge church. It is rare to be able to operate at the higher spiritual elevations at that level. The Mountain creates an emotional and spiritual experience if felt at that great atmosphere. it is of spiritual enlightenment.
  19. Is your name written in the Lamb's Book of Life? If not, you will be thrown into the lake of fire. To be in the Book of Life means to be considered righteous before God and inherit eternal life if you remain faithful to the end.
  20. The water will be given to you without cost. Spiritual drought can come upon us and leave us looking to quench an unbearable thirst.
  21. We need to take up our Cross and prevent our belief from becoming not zealous but more of a habit/ The relationship between Christ and iourselves is our responsibility. Satan can exert his influence but Christ has more power. Christ warns us about Satan.
  22. Sin of man is on the white robes having made dirty by blood and cleansed by the Redemption of Jesus' blood.
  23. Worship before the throne is because the glorious presence and reign of God abounds. In our worship, our inner relations toward God are a result of a celebration of God's action and purpose. The white robed souls are the martyrs for our Church who will show us the glory and wisdom of God. In this process will be revealed how revelation comes to ALL mens' minds. It is a gift from God and begins with God.
  24. The Coronavirus slavery that is happening everywhere. Businesses re facing bankruptcy and people are losing jobs. The employment slavery has not allowed people or businesses to develop or implement worker well-being policies. The role of businesses in the Coronavirus outbreaks and pandemic are not only wreaking havoc on the unemployed but the essential business workers are putting their lives on the forefront to provide services to us. Not just that, but the lack of workers may e creating a need for real slavery in different parts of the world. We must protect workers from exposure and then allow for social distancing at places of employment.
  25. We are chosen to be His 'people". We are called to aid Him in the conversion of other people. Jesus Christ' blood can ransom believers from futile ways.
