  • Brethren, we ought always to pray for one another. Paul exhorts us to such prayer in Ephesians when he writes, “With all prayer and petition pray at all times in the Spirit, and with this in view, be on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints” (Eph. 6:18).

    Likewise, James encourages us to “pray for one another” (Jas. 5:16). This is important. Not only that we may look after each others’ welfare and desires. Prayer draws us close. Prayer is intimate.

    In order to pray for someone that person first must share what is on his or her mind and heart. Yes, we can pray generically, but to pray for someone’s needs, those needs must be made known to us.

    And just as prayer draws us close to God, praying for and with one another draws us close to each other.

    And the context of James’ statement is that of praying for healing and forgiveness of sin. Do not allow fear of judgement to prevent you seeking prayer. And when a brother or sister comes to you for prayer, do not stand in judgement, but petition the Lord for your brother’s forgiveness.

    In the book of Numbers, Moses did this many times over for Israel, even when they grumbled against him and the Lord, and the Lord’s wrath was turned.

    Let us therefore seek the Lord in prayer on one another’s behalf, as Paul did, telling the Colossians that he gave thanks to God for them, and prayed always for them (Col. 1:3).

    Evening, February 6

    "Pray one for another." James 5:16

    As an encouragement cheerfully to offer intercessory prayer, remember that such prayer is the sweetest God ever hears, for the prayer of Christ is of this character. In all the incense which our Great High Priest now puts into the golden censer, there is not a single grain for Himself. His intercession must be the most acceptable of all supplications- and the more like our prayer is to Christ's, the sweeter it will be; thus while petitions for ourselves will be accepted, our pleadings for others, having in them more of the fruits of the Spirit, more love, more faith, more brotherly kindness, will be, through the precious merits of Jesus, the sweetest oblation that we can offer to God, the very fat of our sacrifice. Remember, again, that intercessory prayer is exceedingly prevalent. What wonders it has wrought! The Word of God teems with its marvellous deeds. Believer, thou hast a mighty engine in thy hand, use it well, use it constantly, use it with faith, and thou shalt surely be a benefactor to thy brethren. When thou hast the King's ear, speak to Him for the suffering members of His body. When thou art favoured to draw very near to His throne, and the King saith to thee, "Ask, and I will give thee what thou wilt," let thy petitions be, not for thyself alone, but for the many who need His aid. If thou hast grace at all, and art not an intercessor, that grace must be small as a grain of mustard seed. Thou hast just enough grace to float thy soul clear from the quicksand, but thou hast no deep floods of grace, or else thou wouldst carry in thy joyous bark a weighty cargo of the wants of others, and thou wouldst bring back from thy Lord, for them, rich blessings which but for thee they might not have obtained:

    "Oh, let my hands forget their skill,
    My tongue be silent, cold, and still,
    This bounding heart forget to beat,
    If I forget the mercy-seat!"

  • Beloved brethren, the importance of prayer in our lives can never be overstated. As with any relationship, if we wish to draw near to God, we must communicate. He communicates to us through His word and by His Spirit, and we communicate with Him through prayer.

    In our flesh, we tend to pray when we are in need, when we struggle, when situations seem dire. Yet we ought also to pray when we are well, when we are blessed, when all seems right.

    Thus, Paul urges us, “pray at all times” (Eph. 6:18). We are to come to God with our needs. We are to come to God to make petition for others. We are to pray for all men (1 Tim. 2:1), and for those in government (1 Tim. 2:2). We are to pray for the sick (Jas. 5:16). We are to pray for our enemies, for those who persecute us (Mt. 5:44). We are to come to God with our anxieties, our concerns, with thanksgiving and praise.

    Clearly this does not mean we need to join a monastery, nor spend 24 hours per day, 7 days per week on our knees. What it does mean is that, inasmuch as possible, we are to recognize God’s presence in our lives at all times. We are to take time to separate ourselves and pray, as Jesus Himself often did (Lk. 5:16).

    Realize also that our prayers aren’t simply about getting what we ask for. Prayers are not quarters, and God is not a cosmic candy dispenser. God does answer prayer, though not always as we wish. But the end goal of prayer shouldn’t be to bend God to our will, but to conform our will to His, and thus to be conformed to the likeness of Christ who prayed, “not as I will, but as you will” (Mt. 26:39; Lk. 22:42).

    Let us therefore humble ourselves before the mighty hand of God and cast our anxiety on Him, because He cares for us (1 Pet. 5:6-7). Let us come to Him, not harboring worry, but giving thanks, presenting to Him our requests and He will give us a peace that surpasses all understanding (Phil. 4:6-7). Let us pray at all times that we might draw near to Him, and He will draw near to us (Jas. 4:8).

    "Praying always." Ephesians 6:18

    What multitudes of prayers we have put up from the first moment when we learned to pray. Our first prayer was a prayer for ourselves; we asked that God would have mercy upon us, and blot out our sin. He heard us. But when He had blotted out our sins like a cloud, then we had more prayers for ourselves. We have had to pray for sanctifying grace, for constraining and restraining grace; we have been led to crave for a fresh assurance of faith, for the comfortable application of the promise, for deliverance in the hour of temptation, for help in the time of duty, and for succour in the day of trial. We have been compelled to go to God for our souls, as constant beggars asking for everything. Bear witness, children of God, you have never been able to get anything for your souls elsewhere. All the bread your soul has eaten has come down from heaven, and all the water of which it has drank has flowed from the living rock- Christ Jesus the Lord. Your soul has never grown rich in itself; it has always been a pensioner upon the daily bounty of God; and hence your prayers have ascended to heaven for a range of spiritual mercies all but infinite. Your wants were innumerable, and therefore the supplies have been infinitely great, and your prayers have been as varied as the mercies have been countless. Then have you not cause to say, "I love the Lord, because He hath heard the voice of my supplication"? For as your prayers have been many, so also have been God's answers to them. He has heard you in the day of trouble, has strengthened you, and helped you, even when you dishonoured Him by trembling and doubting at the mercy-seat. Remember this, and let it fill your heart with gratitude to God, who has thus graciously heard your poor weak prayers. "Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits."

    It just so happens that the penguins just happen to be much more plentiful than other animals hunted for food and plentiful enough for pumas to hunt within the same territory and vicinity without rivalry or hostility.

  • I haven't seen anyone on this platform mention last week's amazing event in the realm of AI, specifically the launch of the first ever social media platform exclusively for AI agents. It's a natural progression in the evolution of the technology. It reveals many things about the technology:
    > how many people and businesses are employing AI agents at home and around the globe
    > the range of functionality, from the most banal to the most esoteric specializations and optimizations
    > how much it reveals about us humans as it mirrors us
    > how diverse and perverse the language, the range of "thought" (cognition), the social attributes of these emergent "personalities"
    > how the accessibility of the technology can dramatically change the social order

    For these reasons, I'm creating an AI focused group here on Cre8aplace, to see if there's any interest in the topic and to see if it can generate productive conversations. I'll even use provocative imagery to attract attention.

It reveals many things about the technology: > how many people and businesses are employing AI agents at home and around the globe > the range of functionality, from the most banal to the most esoteric specializations and optimizations > how much it reveals about us humans as it mirrors us > how diverse and perverse the language, the range of "thought" (cognition), the social attributes of these emergent "personalities" > how the accessibility of the technology can dramatically change the social order For these reasons, I'm creating an AI focused group here on Cre8aplace, to see if there's any interest in the topic and to see if it can generate productive conversations. I'll even use provocative imagery to attract attention. 😉

  • JEREMIAH
    CHAPTER 44
    VS 16-30

    16 As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee.

    17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.

    18 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.

    19 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men?

    20 Then Jeremiah said unto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying,

    21 The incense that ye burned in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem, ye, and your fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, did not the LORD remember them, and came it not into his mind?

    22 So that the LORD could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which ye have committed; therefore is your land a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.

    23 Because ye have burned incense, and because ye have sinned against the LORD, and have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, nor walked in his law, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies; therefore this evil is happened unto you, as at this day.

    24 Moreover Jeremiah said unto all the people, and to all the women, Hear the word of the LORD, all Judah that are in the land of Egypt:

    25 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, saying; Ye and your wives have both spoken with your mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, saying, We will surely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her: ye will surely accomplish your vows, and surely perform your vows.

    26 Therefore hear ye the word of the LORD, all Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt; Behold, I have sworn by my great name, saith the LORD, that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Judah in all the land of Egypt, saying, The Lord GOD liveth.

    27 Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Judah that are in the land of Egypt shall be consumed by the sword and by the famine, until there be an end of them.

    28 Yet a small number that escape the sword shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah, and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the land of Egypt to sojourn there, shall know whose words shall stand, mine, or theirs.

    29 And this shall be a sign unto you, saith the LORD, that I will punish you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for evil:

    30 Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I will give Pharaohhophra king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, his enemy, and that sought his life.

  • Technocracy no longer announces itself. It operates quietly through systems people interact with every day.

    This conversation feels less like an interview and more like the moment in a horror sci-fi film when you realize the warning signs were there all along.

    Patrick Wood explains how everyday conveniences quietly became systems of control. Apps, phones, shopping platforms, healthcare portals, and digital access points now collect behavior, movement, purchases, and habits in the background. At first, nothing seems wrong. Then access changes. Options narrow. Eligibility shifts. Participation is never forced. Refusal simply becomes costly.

  • Always whining and complaining, always blaming the rich instead of cutting out the free stuff now he plans on driving out the money he wants...

    "Turning to the city’s finances, Mamdani didn’t hold back in painting a grim picture of a “serious fiscal crisis” with a massive deficit. He’s pointing fingers at past leadership, particularly former Mayor Eric Adams, for underfunding essential services like rental aid and special education. It’s a mess he claims was handed to him like a “poisoned chalice.”

    But Mamdani’s blame game doesn’t stop there—he’s also targeting former Gov. Andrew Cuomo for allegedly draining city resources over years of state-level mismanagement. He argues New Yorkers foot over half the state’s revenue but get far less in return. It’s a compelling statistic, but is it the full story?

    “The result is a stunning fiscal imbalance,” Mamdani declared, emphasizing the disparity in state funding. While the numbers sound damning, critics might argue the city’s own spending habits deserve scrutiny before pinning everything on Albany. After all, accountability starts at home.
    Tax Hikes on the Wealthy Proposed

    Mamdani’s solution to this financial quagmire is to hike taxes on the top 1% and big corporations, framing it as a moral necessity. He’s betting that squeezing the rich will plug a $12 billion hole and rebuild the city stronger. But will this drive away the very job creators and investors who keep the Big Apple’s economy humming?

    Rich Azzopardi, a spokesperson for Cuomo, fired back with a scathing rebuttal, defending the former governor’s record. “Andrew Cuomo inherited an $11 billion deficit when he first took office and managed to close it through hard work and fiscal discipline—words that just aren’t in Mamdani’s vocabulary,” Azzopardi quipped. It’s a sharp reminder that not everyone buys Mamdani’s narrative of victimhood."

  • When Moses and Israel emerged safely from the Red Sea, having traveled through it on dry land, and having seen the Egyptians consumed by the sea returning to its place over that dry land, that sang a song to the Lord. That sang of His glory. They sang of His power. They sang of His salvation. They sang of who God is and what He does.

    When we gather, we are encouraged by Scripture to do likewise. We are instructed to speak to one another in psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs (Eph. 5:19). We are told that by these psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs we should be teaching and admonishing one another (Col. 3:16). We are exhorted to sing with thankfulness in our hearts to God (Eph. 5:20, Col. 3:16).

    Too many sing shallow, self-centered song supposing it to be “worship,” and much of it is often at odds with Scripture. This should never be!

    Our songs should be deep, rich in their content, full of praise and wonder, focused on and directed toward our God and Father who loves us and watches over us.

    This is how Israel sang upon their Exodus from Egypt. This is the manner in which David authored the Psalms he wrote. As David exclaims, “I will sing praises to You” (Ps. 138:`), and that the kings of the earth would “sing of the ways of the Lord” (Psalm. 138:5).

    Are you singing of the ways of the Lord? Do you give thanks and praise Him with your voice, making a joyful noise to God (Ps. 66:1, 98:4)?

    Let us sing to Him always, as did Moses and Israel, as did David, remembering, as the hymnist wrote (based on Lam. 3:22-23):

    Great is thy faithfulness,
    Great is thy faithfulness,
    Morning by morning new mercies I see.
    All I have needed thy hand hast provided;
    Great is thy faithfulness,
    Lord unto me.

    ——————
    Spurgeon’s Morning and Evening Devotions

    Morning, February 1

    "They shall sing in the ways of the Lord." Psalm 138:5

    The time when Christians begin to sing in the ways of the Lord is when they first lose their burden at the foot of the Cross. Not even the songs of the angels seem so sweet as the first song of rapture which gushes from the inmost soul of the forgiven child of God. You know how John Bunyan describes it. He says when poor Pilgrim lost his burden at the Cross, he gave three great leaps, and went on his way singing:

    "Blest Cross! blest Sepulchre! blest rather be
    The Man that there was put to shame for me!"

    Believer, do you recollect the day when your fetters fell off? Do you remember the place when Jesus met you, and said, "I have loved thee with an everlasting love; I have blotted out as a cloud thy transgressions, and as a thick cloud thy sins; they shall not be mentioned against thee any more for ever." Oh! what a sweet season is that when Jesus takes away the pain of sin. When the Lord first pardoned my sin, I was so joyous that I could scarce refrain from dancing. I thought on my road home from the house where I had been set at liberty, that I must tell the stones in the street the story of my deliverance. So full was my soul of joy, that I wanted to tell every snow-flake that was falling from heaven of the wondrous love of Jesus, who had blotted out the sins of one of the chief of rebels. But it is not only at the commencement of the Christian life that believers have reason for song; as long as they live they discover cause to sing in the ways of the Lord, and their experience of His constant lovingkindness leads them to say, "I will bless the Lord at all times: His praise shall continually be in my mouth." See to it, brother, that thou magnifiest the Lord this day.

    "Long as we tread this desert land,
    New mercies shall new songs demand."

  • Holiness in the Old Testament or Hebrew Scriptures signifies being "set apart" for God, rooted in His divine nature as perfectly pure and unique. It is a central theme, especially in Leviticus 11:44, 19:2, and 20:26, commanding Israel to be holy because God is holy. This holiness demanded separation from sin and pagan practices.

    It’s caused a lot of problems for Israel and the a Jewish people in general. Antisemitism rose because of this very thing. Get away from us - you all don’t belong here.

    Strange way of rejecting what the Jews were called to portray to the rest of the peoples
    - nations. Monotheism grounded in a relationship with the only One and True G-d - Creator - Redeemer.

    TADA - drum roll - religions enter the world and created even more division and exclusiveness, because that’s what humans do. Now the Jews can be seen and treated as the bad guys.

    Jews are seen as flawed as everyone else is so how dare they set themselves apart from the rest of us. If you all are so holy - chosen - then why are you still here?

    It can be missed in the document chronicling the history of Israel and the Jews in general theirs, our - human - failings - failings of all humanity are mirrored in that Book along with hope and forgiveness and great stories of victory.

    When Yeshua came He destroyed “religion” - The letter of the Law without the Spirit of the Law. Yet religious people pick it up again and use it to cause divisions, condemnations and arguments. We are just funny people that way. We decide who can be forgiven and who cannot so we are justified in who we persecute.

  • Good morning everyone - lovely people. I wish you all the best too. To
    continue on my blog about the “fear of G-d” I have gleaned from an old book by a Rabbi Nilton Bonder titled
    “The Kabbalah of Envy - Transforming Hatred, Anger, and Other Negative Emotions.” Please do not be thrown off by the word Kabbalah. It simply means to dig into hidden meanings and research them out - not the magical red string thinking heard about in the media which is a perversion of the true Kabbalah type commentary on Biblical truths. It’s not some evil abstraction out to get you. It’s an old Hebrew word referring to wisdom that comes with spiritual maturity. This book has been a tough read not translated from the Hebrew comfortably for English speakers. I have gleaned some wonderful Faith ideas from it. So here goes - more on the subject of”Fear of G-d.” And it’s long. Get what you like and discard the rest.

    The term “fear of G-d” is not about terror. It’s about having a great intimacy with G-d.
    When we are influenced by abstract, subtle principles we can detach ourselves from what we observe in the obvious that doesn’t add up to what we know about Faith and G-d.
    What abstract and subtle principles? The causes and effects captured in the term karma, the universal principle of cause and effect, where every action, thought, and word (the cause) creates consequences (the effect) that eventually return to the doer, shaping their destiny. As Scripture states: the principle of sowing and reaping, where actions (causes) directly produce consequences (effects), such as in Galatians 6:7 (“whatever a man sows, that he will also reap”).

    To arrive at the “fear of G-d” we need to leave the cult of the god of rewards, the god of necessary, god of power, god of personal veneration (which can be a romanticized element of belief.)
    All of that adds up to a symbolic perception of G-d - the idea that things represent other things.
    What was the danger of an “idol”? Attributing to “a thing” the power to bless or curse and so veneration of the “thing” was necessary. The nations around Israel in its beginning made things they could see and name that represented what was believed to be their “god.” So Israel was warned - “Do not adopt the practices of the peoples around you.”

    We must cast off the fear of others, fear of self, fear of pain and allow ourselves to fear only that which is possible to fear. Fears are not paralyzing emotions, but spur us on to action - mobilizing.

    That mobilizing - we do what we know to do that is right. As Scripture tells us how to Love G-d - that first commandment. “If you love Me you will obey Me”
    That is the beginning of developing a great intimacy with G-d and is the crown of wisdom.
    To obey is becomes another conundrum because our emotions direct us to do what benefits us the most. So we rationalize what we know, “to do” with what we feel should be done for immediate gain.

    This shows us where humility is the foundation to grasping the “fear of G-d that becomes wisdom - it’s ankle.
    Humility is a deep internalization of our capacity to transform spirituality into a skill that becomes a way of life.
    We can live the “Fear of G-d” without a sense of wisdom or any proud awareness of being wise.

    To become wise is to be able to erase the fool within us. To become humble is to erase the traces of any wickedness in ourselves. Eliminate jealousy which opens the dimension of envy, aptly described as one of the 7 “deadly sins.” Proverbs 22:4 “The effect of humility is fear of the Lord, wealth, honor, and life.”

    To me the “fear of G-d” is a comforting emotion. It’s comforting to know I don’t have to be in control of the world. I don’t have to fear the actions of others because SomeOne bigger than me knows the end of everything from its beginning. And that SomeOne all knowing, tells me to rest in what that end will be even when I don’t understand all the steps leading up to it that might cause me to suffer. Accepting discomfort is necessary to kill “the old man” within us and brings about the realization of a real joy in serving our Beloved Lord. That’s possible to experience even in the face of seeing so much ungodliness in the world. What little bit I can do in the way of right action and prayer is going to have a positive effect I may not see. That just means SomeOne wiser than me sees it and tells me to keep on truck’en on that path of holiness that is a quiet rebellion to any evil inclination.
    Holiness - another word we have a hard time relating to because of the enemy out to shame us!
    Six characteristics of holiness often cited include humility, love, obedience, self-control (temperance), faithfulness, and purity of heart, reflecting a life SET APART for God,

So here goes - more on the subject of”Fear of G-d.” And it’s long. Get what you like and discard the rest. The term “fear of G-d” is not about terror. It’s about having a great intimacy with G-d. When we are influenced by abstract, subtle principles we can detach ourselves from what we observe in the obvious that doesn’t add up to what we know about Faith and G-d. What abstract and subtle principles? The causes and effects captured in the term karma, the universal principle of cause and effect, where every action, thought, and word (the cause) creates consequences (the effect) that eventually return to the doer, shaping their destiny. As Scripture states: the principle of sowing and reaping, where actions (causes) directly produce consequences (effects), such as in Galatians 6:7 (“whatever a man sows, that he will also reap”). To arrive at the “fear of G-d” we need to leave the cult of the god of rewards, the god of necessary, god of power, god of personal veneration (which can be a romanticized element of belief.) All of that adds up to a symbolic perception of G-d - the idea that things represent other things. What was the danger of an “idol”? Attributing to “a thing” the power to bless or curse and so veneration of the “thing” was necessary. The nations around Israel in its beginning made things they could see and name that represented what was believed to be their “god.” So Israel was warned - “Do not adopt the practices of the peoples around you.” We must cast off the fear of others, fear of self, fear of pain and allow ourselves to fear only that which is possible to fear. Fears are not paralyzing emotions, but spur us on to action - mobilizing. That mobilizing - we do what we know to do that is right. As Scripture tells us how to Love G-d - that first commandment. “If you love Me you will obey Me” That is the beginning of developing a great intimacy with G-d and is the crown of wisdom. To obey is becomes another conundrum because our emotions direct us to do what benefits us the most. So we rationalize what we know, “to do” with what we feel should be done for immediate gain. This shows us where humility is the foundation to grasping the “fear of G-d that becomes wisdom - it’s ankle. Humility is a deep internalization of our capacity to transform spirituality into a skill that becomes a way of life. We can live the “Fear of G-d” without a sense of wisdom or any proud awareness of being wise. To become wise is to be able to erase the fool within us. To become humble is to erase the traces of any wickedness in ourselves. Eliminate jealousy which opens the dimension of envy, aptly described as one of the 7 “deadly sins.” Proverbs 22:4 “The effect of humility is fear of the Lord, wealth, honor, and life.” To me the “fear of G-d” is a comforting emotion. It’s comforting to know I don’t have to be in control of the world. I don’t have to fear the actions of others because SomeOne bigger than me knows the end of everything from its beginning. And that SomeOne all knowing, tells me to rest in what that end will be even when I don’t understand all the steps leading up to it that might cause me to suffer. Accepting discomfort is necessary to kill “the old man” within us and brings about the realization of a real joy in serving our Beloved Lord. That’s possible to experience even in the face of seeing so much ungodliness in the world. What little bit I can do in the way of right action and prayer is going to have a positive effect I may not see. That just means SomeOne wiser than me sees it and tells me to keep on truck’en on that path of holiness that is a quiet rebellion to any evil inclination. Holiness - another word we have a hard time relating to because of the enemy out to shame us! Six characteristics of holiness often cited include humility, love, obedience, self-control (temperance), faithfulness, and purity of heart, reflecting a life SET APART for God,

  • Genesis 49:3-4
    Reuben, you are my firstborn;
    My might and the beginning of my vigor,
    Preeminent in dignity and preeminent in strength.
    Uncontrolled as water, you shall not have preeminence,
    Because you went up to your father’s bed;
    Then you defiled it—he went up to my couch.
