Are we limited?!

in #dtube7 years ago


** THIS IS A VIDEO**

I started my day with a wild idea about where the apostle Paul got his information. It grew into we as people feeling limited, and why we feel that way. Was it Paul's level of trust in the other apostles writings, or the Holy Spirit?! I would love to hear your perspective. I have been encouraged by others to get more of my thought on video, and I really want to do it. If your support continues to grow...the videos are coming!🙃 I hope you enjoy my perspective.

We in West are limited by our comfort. In Africa and other third world countries The Holy Spirit is moving and many miracles are happening. We tend to rely on ourselves and our knowledge or what we are told is knowledge. The Bible is not taught in most churches so why would we believe it?

Yes! I had someone recently tell me about their trip to Africa. They said it was amazing and things didn't seem hidden, but you could literally see the light and the dark.

Just finished your video. Great stuff. I believe with all my heart that God is the same yesterday today and forever. I think most Christians including myself have just become too comfortable and are satisfied with the status quo. About a year ago my wife and I left the church and started Seeking after Jesus with like we have never done before. I have by no means learned everything but what I have found out is the more I press in the more I seek. The more understanding the Father gives. I think we r only limited because we are not working hard at it.

Man...I wish I could upvote you twice. I love that you are taking hold of your journey. I agree about putting in the effort. If we just believe in our minds and never out work it, is it real, or an idea. We (@freedomtowrite) and I have been on a similar journey that has stretched me pretty good, and changed all of my perspective..for the better!

I am so glad I found you guys on here. Looking forward to hearing more from you both. Have a wonderful day

Yes! We love that we can meet more people that may be like minded. Life is an adventure, and everyday we take in more information to sort through.

I have found that my environment and traditions have caused me to think differently than what the Heavenly Father intended. I am working to change/overcome my desires and change them to what He wants. For example, the definition of love. Our society teaches that love is a feeling you have or get and that love can leave as easy as it comes. The Word's definition of love however is "love is patient, kind... doesn't insist that it is right... doesn't boast or is not jealous or envious". It even goes on to say that we are to love our enemies and that we need to forgive in order to be forgiven. Our society states that when we get instruction, if it makes us feel good then we can decide to change our habits. The Bible, however instructs us differently. We need to obey first just like little children. After we obey the rules, then we make our Heavenly Father happy and the Holy Spirit will fill us with joy for pleasing the Father. When the Bible states that we have to become like little children to enter the Kingdom. This is what it means, that we need to obey our Father's rules/commandments so that we will be safe from the enemy and that we can then do the work intended for us so that we can receive blessings. Just my 2 cents. Loved the Video!

With regard to Paul and the other apostle's writings I am guessing that Paul did not have access to many of the other writings other than the Torah and the prophets so this would mean that he would have gotten confirmation from the Holy Spirit.

Great perspective! Thank you for jumping in here! I look forward to hearing more from you.

I suspect we're limited because we believe we're limited. We believe we're limited because we were taught by the people around us that we have no power. If you don't believe you can be so much more, you won't reach for it, and you'll never find out the truth!

Yes! I agree! So societally we are fed the idea of our limits. That makes sense. You know when you hear people on tv always marveling about how things like the pyramids were built...probably because they can't imagine humans doing it!

I don't know whether humans built those, but I believe we can!

Hahaha me either! There are so many things I question like that. I'm not saying I...nope nevermind....ancient aliens is my show!

Haha, it's fascinating stuff! I wonder how that meshes with your other beliefs. Maybe we could do little video discussion about it sometime.

Some great questions!

Thank you. They seem to keep coming haha.
