To tickle your funny bone
I have been through some terrible things in my life, some of which actually happened.

I’m starting to think I overuse exclamation points. It ends today. Right now. I’ll never ever use one again. I’m so excited about it. Yes.
I hate people who speak for other people, and so do you.

Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.

Complex problems often have simple, easy to understand, wrong answers.

Nothing says “I don’t take you seriously” like your dog wagging his tail when you are yelling at him.

A quickie healing!
‘Bout an hour ago I cut my thumb and of course it started bleeding. No biggie I thought – I’ll just put a bandaid on and after a few days … “No, don’t cover it” came a ‘thought’ … But, it’ll jus take a sec … No, you don’t need to, I’ve got this one. Weeelll, okay . . . Long story short. Bleeding stopped immediately and thumb is smiling proudly! 😀

YOU’VE BEEN ASKING FOR IT: A CLEAR AND EASY EXPLANATION OF PRETERISM
. . . . .
What is preterism? It simply means “past fulfillment.”An Old Testament passage taken from Isaiah is a good example. Isaiah 9: 6 For to us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder ,and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. Isaiah prophesies the birth of the Messiah over 700 years in advance. Jesus was born, fulfilling the prophecy. All scholars agree that the birth of Jesus (the incarnation) will not happen again. Our understanding of this prophecy looks back to its fulfillment; therefore, a preterist interpretation is applied. In the current eschatological debate, preterism interprets numerous New Testament passages that dispensationalism applies to the future, our future. These future events include the kingdom of God, the last days, the rise of antichrist and the Great Tribulation. Preterism gained notoriety through its interpretation of the book of Revelation. Instead of interpreting the images as events in our future, preterism sees the timing of these events occurring in the first century. John’s prophecy found its fulfillment with events happening during the Jewish wars with Rome, and ending with the destruction of Jerusalem and the temple.

You’ve finally given up!!!
WHEN IT BECOMES SETTLED in your mind that you are born of God, of the same Substance of God, perfect and complete, lacking nothing, and you see healing for the whole world right within your be-ing, don’t you begin to see that mankind’s vision alone needs healing?
.
Imagine giving up all the darker thoughts once and for all. No matter what it takes, you’re not going back to have another look, to undo all the good you’ve gleaned and see the same erroneous issues in yet another ‘light’. It’s finally over: you’ve chosen God INSTEAD OF the drama! You don’t want to hear one more word on the subject – EVER !!!
.
Everything is new in one regard: you’re finally entirely free! Nothing … and I REALLY mean nothing this time … is going to pull you back, not even curiosity. How did you get to where you are? By wanting it so badly that even your wanting became a never-ending prayer. Even prayer itself lost 50% of its body weight. No ritual, no formula, just you and God, God and you, that’s right – just God!
.
Can’t you see mankind everywhere sooo close, so very, very close to fully awakening? It seems like there’s so much wrong with the world – so much in need of healing, but you can see it now … yes you actually literally see the world awakening and truly HEALED !!!
Jesus healed 100% of the time.
SPIRITUAL HEALING is all about looking beyond the seeming. Jesus was never the least bit impressed by appearances – physical or mental. His correct ‘seeing’ healed 100% of the time. He did require the super-abundance of negative thinking to leave (probably on a number of occasions), not because He couldn’t heal then, but because we couldn’t. The universal false belief in many minds and many powers is very, very strong. But we don’t need to be impressed. It’s mere nothingness.
