The Blessings of God

[Zakat]

I thank God for my short-term memory and my long-term memory since I am just too weak to remember everything I would have liked to be able to remember.

You can here mention and post the things for which you are grateful to God to have in your life.

 

[ToxicFemininitySucks]

I thank God for the gift of faith and the love of the truth.

And all of His blessings.

Deuteronomy 28:1-14
28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the "I AM" thy God, to observe [and] to do all His Commandments which I command thee this day, that the "I AM" thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
28:2 And ALL THESE BLESSINGS shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the "I AM" thy God.
28:3 Blessed [shalt] thou [be] in the city, and blessed [shalt] thou [be] in the field.
28:4 Blessed [shall be] the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.
28:5 Blessed [shall be] thy basket and thy store.
28:6 Blessed [shalt] thou [be] when thou comest in, and blessed [shalt] thou [be] when thou goest out.
28:7 The "I AM" shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.
28:8 The "I AM" shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and He shall bless thee in the land which the "I AM" thy God giveth thee.
28:9 The "I AM" shall establish thee an holy people unto Himself, as He hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the Commandments of the "I AM" thy God, and walk in His Ways.
28:10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the "I AM"; and they shall be afraid of thee.
28:11 And the "I AM" shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the "I AM" sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
28:12 The "I AM" shall open unto thee His good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.
28:13 And the "I AM" shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the Commandments of the "I AM" thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to DO [them]:
28:14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the Words which I command thee this day, [to] the right hand, or [to] the left, to go after other gods to serve them.

I thank God for my good health and for His Guidance!

God is Most Merciful, Most Loving, Patient and Long-Suffering, that all of us may come to repentance.

And He is, of course, The Best Planner.

May God Bless each and everyone reading this thread.

I thank God for Giving me the willingness to speak of Him.

We thank Him for the inspiration of beautiful concepts, imaginations, and creativity. He Is Al-Khaaliq, The Excellent Creator.

@A Freeman

The Fremen were a sub-culture of humans descended from the Zensunni Wanderers who considered the planet Arrakis their home.

 

[A Freeman]

The planet "Arrakis" was a desert planet, where not one drop of rain had fallen from the skies for centuries.

This setting in the film "Dune" very accurately describes the lack of spiritual rain (from God, Who is a Spirit-Being - Num. 23:19; John 4:23-24) we are experiencing here on Earth today, which is why Christ asked if He would find faith on Earth upon His Second Coming (Luke 18:8).

Revelation 11:3-7
11:3 And I will give [power] unto my Two Witnesses (Isa. 43:12), and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred [and] threescore "days", clothed in sackcloth. (42 months of 30 "days" each = 1260 "days", each day for a year - Num. 14:34; Ezekiel 4:6; Dan. 12:7).
11:4 These are the two "Olive" trees, and the two candlesticks (Ephraim and Manasseh) standing before the God of the Earth.
11:5 And if any man will hurt them, fire (gun-fire which looked as though it) proceedeth out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies: and if any man will hurt them, he must in this manner be killed.
11:6 These have power to shut heaven, that it "rain" (spiritually) not in the days of their prophecy: and have power over "waters" (ch. 17:15) to turn them to blood (reds/communists), and to smite the Earth with all plagues, as often as they will.
11:7 And when they shall have finished their Testimony (the 1260 "days" ended on 9/Dec./1917 - the day that Jerusalem was liberated from Gentile domination by Israel - British forces - Ezekiel 25:14), the beast (system - Satanic-Communism) that ascendeth out of the Bottomless Pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them, and KILL them.

The "Two Witnesses" are NOT two individuals that show up during these end-times, as many in "Christianity" wrongly teach (Matt. 24:5; Matt. 23:10). The two "Olive Trees" and two candlesticks are the U.S. and U.K., which are about to be defeated in WW3, as punishment for not keeping their Covenant with God to keep The Law He gave us.

Had Ephraim (the English) and Manasseh (the Americans) kept The Law, God would be blessing them right now instead of punishing/cursing them.

So Dune is a very interesting film, depicting both Scripture prophecy and how to defeat the evil system with "the (right) hand of God" (The Angel/Messenger of God).

We thank God for the eyes with which we behold beauty!

We thank God for Blessing us with a relationship with Him more than with any thing else.

From God Calling:-

Divine Restraint. - September 27

Is My Hand shortened that it cannot save? No! My power to save increases as your power to understand My Salvation increases. So from Strength to Strength, from Power to Power, we go in Union.

Limitless is My Miracle-working Power in the Universe, though it has limitations in each individual life, but only to the extent of the lack of vision of that individual. There is no limit to My Power to save. Also there is no limit to My desire and longing to save. My Hand is not shortened, and it is "stretched out still", longing and waiting to be allowed to bless and help and save.

Think how tenderly I respect the right of each individual soul. Never forcing upon it My Help, My Salvation. Perhaps in all My suffering for humanity that is the hardest, the restraint of the Divine Impatience and Longing to help, until the call of the soul gives Me My right to act.

Think of Love shown in this. Comfort My waiting, loving, longing Heart by claiming My Help, Guidance and Miracle-working Power.

Is not the seed a future stem?

And the stem, a future branch, and further branches?

And then a tree and leaves and flowers and fruits of sorts?

It all relates. Just as the human meets his or her mate and the seed is watered, the cycle of life goes on and good always prevails over evil.

We thank Him for a roof over our heads and a form of permissible entertainment.

We thank Him for the knowledge of the English language, however limited one's vocabulary may be.

The following are lyrics from the song "The Rose", by Bette Midler:

Some say, "Love. It is a river
That drowns the tender reed"
Some say, "Love. It is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed"
Some say, "Love. It is a hunger
An endless aching need"
I say, "Love. It is a flower
And you* its only seed"

It's the heart afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
It's the dream afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
It's the one who won't be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul afraid of dyin'
That never learns to live

When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sun's love
In the spring becomes the rose

*Christ (The Anointed One)

When it's understood that everything good on this planet comes from God, it should be self-evident from the lyrics that God sent them to send a message of hope to mankind. He is The Best Planner.

That is profound, thank you.

I really appreciated many of the posts in the 'God at Eventide' thread.

Would love to be able to read them all one day.
