Dolphin teaches us that when we live in tune with the patterns and rhythm of nature, we learn how to truly be in touch with, resonate and communicate with All That IS and how to share this sagacity with anyone interested. There are those that believe Dolphins are more intelligent than humans. Especially when it comes to love. They have large brains, superior intelligence and are often associated in mythical lore with higher forms of consciousness. Some believe they are far more evolved than we are, especially on a spiritual level. Some believe they are alien beings from a different dimension.

Dolphins are connected with the power of breath and with emotional release, which are also both deeply connected. One of the most important factors in spiritual growth is to give ourselves the freedom of full experiencing our feelings and emotions. Often negative emotions are suppressed as we don’t want to be a part of them, so we try to stay apart from them. Feelings of sadness, pain, anger, grief. We need to stop doing this, as this only lays the foundation for disagreeable outcomes. We need to feel our feelings, by suppressing these feelings, of course they DO NOT go away. They are still there, subconsciously, manifesting blocked energy with-in, and if these blocks aren’t removed, this can go on to physical imbalances, with-out. On top of this, by blocking these so called negative feelings, this can result in losing the quality of being able to feel at all, losing much of life’s joy. Becoming dead to the world.

Simply stated breathing is conversing with the outside world. When people feel that the outside world is a source of pain, they learn, very frequently at a young age, to constrict their breathing. The diaphragm is built to assist us in breathing and to feel deeply, but it becomes suppressed. When we learn to breathe deeply we can learn to feel deeply, in turn letting go of stifled feelings. One way of doing this is to copy the dolphins pattern of breathing, a superb tension reliever!. Dolphin breathes deeply, holds his breath underwater, then breathes out forcefully. Living in water is an important characteristic of Dolphin, as in many belief systems, including astrology, water is related to feeling and emotion.

If Dolphin swims into your life, he is asking you to relish water both physically and mentally, swimming freely and going along with your natural feelings. He is showing you how to enter the waters of life and then with breath and sound call forth what you most need or desire. Dolphins use a variety of whistles, grunts, clicks, and body postures to communicate. They have unique, personal whistles they give out. If they want to get the attention of another Dolphin, they give out their personal whistle. Sound is the creative life force and a big part of dolphins life, therefore this needs to be a part of your life. Communicate. With those around you and All That Is. Creating inner sounds creates outer manifestations. If Dolphin is your power animal, you may do well using your voice for healing or communicating, whether incorporating this into a job or just as a hobby or in day to day life with those nearest and dearest to you..

Dolphins have a wise, innocent, purity of being which reaches out to our inner nature. Follow their lead and open yourself to the energy of love, harmony and balance. Express your inner truth, be true to yourself. follow your inner joy. Dolphin is asking you to go back to your roots, to the depths of your being and rediscover the Love that you truly are.

Dolphins spend most of their day playing. Their life is lived in joyful harmony with each other and their world. Apparently they have learned the lesson that love is the most important factor in life. If dolphin is your power animal he may be there to teach you how to love yourself and your world more. A big part of Dolphins medicine is living in balanced, harmonious communities. They live in big groups of up to 100. Females will give birth to a single offspring, with several dolphins around her, helping with the birth, pulling the newborn out by its tail. They then protect him or her from any imminent danger. If a dolphin is hurt or ill, other dolphins will tend to them, lifting them to the surface to breathe.

Dolphins Wisdom Includes – Knowledge of the sea, change, patron of sailors, harmony, wisdom, balance, Communication skills, freedom, trust, understanding the power of rhythm in your life, use of breath to release intense emotions, water element magic, unselfishness. Dolphin reminds us to get out, play and most importantly, to breathe.

The dolphin as your spirit animal is a representation of balance and harmony because they are in tune with their instincts and very intelligent. Dolphins also symbolize resurrection and protection. They have a playful nature, which reminds us to approach life with a sense of joy and humor. People identifying with the dolphin as a spirit animal are normally gentle, peaceful, and possess a deep inner strength.

The dolphin is a complicated creature with various meanings attached to it all through history such as:

- Cooperation

- Inner strength

- Resurrection

- Joy and playfulness

- Protection

- Harmony and peace

Representations of Harmony and Peace

Dolphins are highly intelligent and this helps to balance out their animal nature. They are capable of trusting their intuition and instincts instead of overthinking things. They can live in peace with other species, humans included and it is common for them to play and swim around boats and swimmers in the water. Their gentle nature is a reminder for us to see the good in all people and try to bring peace to everyone around us and in our own lives.

Symbols of Cooperation

Dolphins normally live in cooperative social groups. The healthy adult dolphins work to feed and protect the injured ones and the whole pod gathers around the mother dolphins and their calves in order to protect them from any predators. Dolphins show a degree of cooperation and selflessness that a majority of people have a problem trying to achieve. The dolphin spirit animal is an indication that coming from a place of love makes it easier to work with others without having to sacrifice your own needs.

Inner strength

Dolphins are fearless and strong when they are in the wild and when threatened by orcas or sharks, they fight instead of trying to swim off. They are a representation of self-confidence and strong moral convictions. They remind you to stand your ground and speak your mind instead if hiding your authentic self.

A Symbol of Resurrection

Dolphins have been connected to resurrection for a long time and in different cultures. People who are attracted to the dolphin as their spirit animal might find themselves on the threshold of a personal and spiritual rebirth or they might have recently gone through one.

A Playful Spirit

People are often drawn to the dolphin because of playful nature. They remind you to maintain a sense of humor about your life and this spirit animal also shows you that it is good to play at times just for the joy of it. This spirit animal reminds you to take some time from your busy life to experience things with child-like wonder.

A Symbol of Protection

Sailors have always believed that dolphins are a sign of good luck. They have been known to chase sharks away and help drowning people in the water. For this reason they have earned a reputation as protectors and they give us a lesson in protecting those who need help and in saving ourselves.

May God's Word Give You Comfort And Strength. ✨

You Take My Breath Away ~ by Eva Cassidy

Sometimes it amazes me
How strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just take my breath away

You watch my love grow like a child
Sometimes gentle and sometimes wild
Sometimes you just take my breath away

And it's too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there
Just to use
I'm gonna stand on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away

Sometimes it amazes me
How strong the power of love can be
Sometimes you just take my breath away

Your beauty is there in all I see
And when I feel your eyes on me
Oh don't you know you just take my breath away

And it's too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there
Just to use
I'm gonna stand on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away

And it's too good to slip by
Too good to lose
Too good to be there
Just to use
I'm gonna stand on a mountain top
And tell the news
That you take my breath away
Yep...♥ Hugs! :)

A magnitude-7.7 earthquake hit off the coast of Indonesia in the eastern Flores region, the United States Geological Survey reported on Friday.

The epicenter was 68 kms (42 miles) north-northwest of the city of Ende in East Nusa Tenggara province.

Preliminary reports from the Maumere Search and Rescue Agency said that at least two residents were killed and two others injured as the earthquake caused severe damage and collapsed buildings, according to Indonesia’s disaster management agency.

Footage on local television showed patients at several hospitals being evacuated from buildings as a precaution following the quake. Hospital staff moved equipment outdoors, including beds, IV stands and oxygen cylinders, and set up temporary treatment areas to adapt to emergency conditions.

The quake was felt across much of Flores island with initial reports indicating heavy damage.

Indonesian authorities initially issued a tsunami warning for parts of East Nusa Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara, South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi provinces, and urged residents to stay away from beaches and riverbanks, and residents on the coastline to move to higher ground. The agency located the shallow undersea quake near Flores island.

The initial quake was followed by two aftershocks.

Yohanna Embu, a resident of Sikka, a regency within East Nusa Tenggara province, said a number of buildings were damaged by the strong shaking and panicked people ran to higher ground.

“Many buildings here were damaged ... I saw that the waiting room at the Pelni port terminal in Maumere had collapsed,” she said.

Students at St. Peter Major Seminary in Sikka who were attending morning Mass fled in panic when the roof of an assembly hall collapsed, said the Rev. Guidelbertus Tanga, rector of the seminary, which is known locally as Ritapiret Seminary on the predominantly Catholic island of Flores.

“Our students and nuns ran out in panic beneath a collapsing roof,” Tanga said, “At least one priest suffered a broken leg after jumping from the second floor of a building during the quake.”

Separately, Australia’s tsunami warning center said the undersea earthquake will have “no tsunami threat to the Australian mainland, islands or territories.”

Indonesia, a vast archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, is prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity because of its location on the “Ring of Fire,” an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin.

In December of 1992, a magnitude 7 earthquake caused a tsunami that killed about 2,500 people on the southeastern island of Flores, part of a group of islands in the eastern half of Indonesia.

The latest quake comes after a 7.4-magnitude earthquake rocked western Colombia on Monday, causing widespread damage.

In June, deadly back-to-back earthquakes, with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5, killed more than 6,000 people in Venezuela, according to government figures.

CALI, Colombia — A powerful 7.4 magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia on Monday, killing at least 111 people, damaging hundreds of buildings and leaving many trapped under debris while their loved ones and rescue workers searched through rubble.

Search teams and civilians picked through the remains of destroyed buildings in the country’s third-largest city, Cali, passing large pieces of concrete and other rubble down a long line of volunteers.

“Our building has basically been left in ruins, and the building next to ours? Completely collapsed,” said รlvaro Lรณpez, who cradled his dog as he watched the search. The desperate scene recalled the searches still ongoing in neighboring Venezuela weeks after that country was devastated by two powerful earthquakes.

Besides Cali, the quake ravaged cities across western Colombia, including Pereira, Quibdo and Manizales, and was felt in neighboring Ecuador and Panama. The epicenter was in San Jose del Palmar, a community of about 4,800 people in the Choco region about 250 miles (400 kilometers) west of Bogota, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

Colombia’s President Abelardo de la Espriella said at least 87 people were injured and around 1,600 buildings were damaged, including at least 61 that completely collapsed. He declared an emergency to expedite funding for the quake recovery.

“We aren’t going to leave people alone. They are in our hearts and we are going to tend to people with our full determination,” he said.

Most powerful quake recorded in Colombia this century

Colombia’s Geological Service said Monday’s quake was the country’s strongest recorded “in the 21st century,” and that it was followed by several aftershocks.

Colombia’s Pacific region around the epicenter lies along the “Ring of Fire,” the line of seismic faults encircling the Pacific Ocean where most of the world’s earthquakes occur. The Pacific, particularly the Choco region, is one of Colombia’s poorest, nestled in dense jungle. Much of Choco is only reachable by boat or plane, which may pose difficulty in assessing the wider toll.

Local authorities said the death toll included at least 40 people who were killed in the Risaralda region, where Pereira is located, and 27 people in the Valle del Cauca region, where Cali is located, including three children. Authorities also confirmed nine people killed in Choco, two in the Caldas region and a 73-year-old in the Antioquia region. It was not immediately clear where the other 32 people died.

The earthquakes left many in the Andean nation unnerved after two back-to-back quakes devastated neighboring Venezuela in late June, destroying hundreds of buildings and killing more than 6,300 people.

By Monday afternoon, people had begun reporting their loved ones missing on digital databases just as civilians did following Venezuela’s earthquakes. One database had more than 2,000 people, mostly in Cali and Pereira, with the number steadily climbing.

Photos of the missing included a young mother and her baby in Pereira; another showed an 80-year-old woman in Cali whose family was desperately looking for details after her building collapsed.

Cities left devastated

Jorge Moncayo, a 64-year-old taxi driver in Cali, said he saw plumes of dust shoot up across the city as buildings collapsed. Residents and rescue workers were searching the rubble for survivors. The local government said that people remained trapped in a number of the city’s 380 damaged buildings.

“My entire house shook. I’ve never lived through such a powerful earthquake,” he said. “We’re thanking God we’re alive.”

Little was known about the extent of the damage in Choco, a remote region where officials reported dozens of injured people and damaged buildings but few other details. Phone signals were out in many parts of the region’s capital, Quibdo. The town closest to the earthquake’s epicenter, San Jose del Palmar, has no airport, and is located on top of a mountain ridge along a highway linking the cities of Cali and Pereira.

In Pereira, further south in the coffee-producing mountains of Colombia, photos and videos on local media showed pieces of the airport ceiling falling onto travelers taking shelter and screaming. People ran through rubble and plumes of dust, and residents said collapsed stores, residential buildings and homes lined the city. Pereira Mayor Mauricio Salazar told a local radio station there were at least 15 collapsed buildings where people were feared trapped.

In nearby Manizales, one of the towers of the neo-Gothic cathedral collapsed and fell on the nave. Mayor Jorge Eduardo Rojas asked residents to stay outside in case of aftershocks. Authorities said flights were suspended in the airports of Manizales, Quibdo, Armenia, Cartago, Buenaventura and Pereira as they assessed damage.

Offers of aid from across the Americas

Small earthquakes, known as “temblores,” are common in central and western Colombia, but those above 6.0 magnitude are rare. In 1999, a 6.2 magnitude quake near the city of Armenia killed more than 1,100 people.

Response to the earthquake presents the first major challenge for de la Espriella, a Trump ally who was sworn in as president over the weekend. A divisive figure because of his pledge of an all-out crackdown on criminal groups, de la Espriella said he had personally taken charge of the government’s response to the emergency.

On Monday night, the U.S. State Department announced it would provide $15.5 million for emergency shelter, food and other earthquake response aid. Governments across Latin America also lined up to help.

El Salvador’s President Nayib Bukele and Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum — whose countries were among the largest providers of aid to Venezuela following its recent crisis — said they were ready to assist Colombia.

“From El Salvador, we are in communication and ready to provide immediate support with our rescue teams, medical personnel, paramedics, supplies, or any other assistance that our Colombian brothers and sisters deem necessary,” Bukele said.

Chilean President Josรฉ Antonio Kast said Chile, one of the region’s most earthquake-prone countries, “knows the pain and the challenge left by earthquakes” and pledged help.

15 Minute Compilation Video I Put Together Connecting Epstein To Bronfman's, Rothschild's, 9/11. Rockefeller Appointed Epstein To The Board Of Rockefeller Univ, Trilateral Commission, CFR.

GlobalAwareness101 published 15 minute compilation video connecting Epstein to Bronfman's, Rothschild's, 9/11 etc.

I put together this 15 minute compilation video of different social media influencers highlighting important connections found in the Epstein files. Billionaire Les Wexner gave Epstein power of attorney over his gazillion dollar estate. Epstein was a money manager for the Bronfman's when he worked at Bear Stern where he got his start. Why would another billionaire trust a broker just getting started in the biz? And last but not least Epstein made it clear in his emails that he worked for the Rothschild's another gazillionaire family. And why was Ghislaine Maxwell asked to be in the shadow 9/11 commission? Or why did the DOJ AG Pam Bondi under the orders of President Trump and his masters named in this video HIDE A TROVE OF FILES RELATED TO 9/11 that were discussed in the Epstein files?

I added their names and background to this video. Click the square in the lower right called toggle fullscreen to enlarge screen.
GlobalAwareness101 published Rockefeller appointed Epstein to the board of Rockefeller Univ, Trilateral Commission, and CFR.

Wowza! If you thought my last video was informative, wait until you watch this 9 minute video I put together connecting more dots. This information I gathered clarified most everything happening in the world related to our government, Epstein files, Epstein, Trump, Illuminati Israel and going to war. I learned so much more. I hope you will feel the same.

The 1st video segment is a news report about Jeffrey Epstein being allowed to fly off to Israel after being indicted on felony child sex trafficking charges when his passport should have been taken away.

Then another bombshell about Susie Wiles with close ties to Benjamin Netanyahu working as President Trump's chief of staff. Susie Wiles helped Netanyahu get elected as his advisor.

Then I find out from RJ Moreau, "Epstein's NY mansion was legally held by a Bronfman-Gunzburg trust,"

AND dun dun dun... "but the real backing came from David Rockefeller, who personally appointed Epstein to the board of Rockefeller University and secured his memberships in both the Trilateral Commission and Council on Foreign Relations."

But wait there's more, I find out from Juan Hodl, "In 2000, Ghislaine Maxwell purchased a home in New York City from Lynn Forester de Rothschild for $4.95 million.

Forester sold the mansion for about $8.5 million less than its assessed market value, which was more than $13.4 million. This was essentially a gift for their work."

Then Michael Collins Piper explains how the Rockefeller’s & Council on Foreign Relations are fronts for the Rothschild’s:

Rockefeller family originally got their financing from Rothschild banks.

The CFR is a cousin to RIIA in London… the foreign policy arm of the Rothschild family.

I put this video together for you, customized this background, took these screenshots, added the background music for storytelling ambiance, and my meme reactions throughout. Sorry no captions this time. Click the square in the lower right called toggle fullscreen to enlarge screen.

NWO Transhumanism 2011 Lecture by Dr Tom Horn. Transhumanism Was Founded In The 1950s By Top Eugenicist Julian Huxley And The Rockefeller Foundation As A New Brand Name For Eugenics.

Infopowerment: published ๐Ÿ‘‰ November 16, 2011 ๐Ÿ‘ˆ:
NWO Transhumanism Mind Warping Lecture by Tom Horn.

Transhumanism was founded in the 1950s by top eugenicist Julian Huxley and the Rockefeller Foundation, as a new brand name for the pseudoscience of Eugenics. Its obsession for culling off the 'genetically inferior', while at the same time striving to promote dominance for the 'superior' had given Eugenics a bad name, particularly after the Nazi brand of Eugenics created the Holocaust, during WWII. Sadly, what most people didn't know at that time was that Nazi eugenics was merely the full-blown application of the principles that had been developed and were openly espoused by the British, French and American Eugenics Societies.

So, Eugenics lived on, under many, heavily funded formats, one of them being Transhumanism. By and large, Transhumanism proposes to use applied science in the fields of genetics, robotics and others, to 'steer human evolution into the future'. A Transhumanist society will have, as its name implies, 'transcended humanity'. In such a society, human beings will have been replaced with hyper-efficient worker chimeras, bio-robotic warriors, and other purpose-made humanoid life forms.

These stated goals must be tied in with the bigger picture into which Eugenics and Transhumanism fit into. These fields have never been limited to 'science' per se -- they've always been primarily political and economical, and they reflect a very particular view of the world.

Under that view, the planet has limited resources, and technological advancement under free market systems cannot be trusted to overcome those limitations (one of the many Malthusian fallacies and myths) -- therefore, control must be exercised over the users of resources, to avoid any over-usage of those resources. To exercise that control, eugenicists believe they have to shut down development, and create an heavily regulated social and economic environment. In that controlled environment, those people who are alive must also be economically efficient -- i.e., produce more than they consume. So, on the one hand, the intelligentsia feels it needs to get rid of the 'wrong' sorts of people (the masses of 'unfit', 'unemployables', 'junk genes'), through techniques such as famine, abortion, sterilization, or euthanasia. On the other hand, the workers that will be allowed to go on into the future will have to be made into incrementally more 'efficient' humans -- which will eventually imply robotic add-ons and genetic-engineering.

This is none other than the worldwide, dehumanized, hyper-efficient 'hive society', that was advocated by eugenicist Charles Galton Darwin in "The Next Million Years". Or, "Our Benevolent Feudalism", as eugenicist William J. Ghent put it, in his portrayal of the techno-fascist global society that, he said, would eventually be ushered in, using the combined power of finance and science. And, of course, it was also explained in romanticized form in the "Brave New World" of Aldous Huxley, who was none other than the brother of Transhumanism founder, Eugenics Society chairman, Julian Huxley.

A neo-feudal, technocratic, new world order. That's what Eugenics and its offspring Transhumanism, strive for. A system under which you will not just lose your physical rights to independent living (and that is happening right now as this video plays), but you will also be engineered to lose your very soul. Since, as Charles Galton Darwin put it, you will be nothing more than a good worker, which includes being engineered to have the right beliefs, or no beliefs at all.

That is the final and most serious note of mental and spiritual disease behind this incredibly selfish and hypocritical paradigm. And that is why it must be stopped.

If you narrow your options you are not only missing a chance of new (empowering) insights you also radiate the opposite of true freedom of thought ... ~certain "far out" and strange illustrations on book-covers or vidoes are for a reason. I can name 100s of authors using symbolism and art of the opponent, the adversary, the accused the exposed etc. that does NOT mean you are endorsing it or praising it . If some one use a stop-sign in traffic then you can say I do not like to stop in traffic therefore I ignore the stop sign symbol, does not make sense.

*****REPOST FROM 2022*****

I, Josette from GlobalAwareness101, typed a transcript for you below:
so far I typed 24 minutes at the time of getting this info out to you. I am listening to this for the first time myself and am mindblowned that it took the plandemic to boldly bring out the demons calling for The Great Reset and a Cyborg race to wake up humanity to their plans against us. Here are people at this conference already awake to the globalists sickening plans talking about it in 2011. (emphasis mine)

Host: I want to bring up the author of Apollyon Rising 2012, the fourth coming book, Forbidden Gates, President of Raiders News Network, and many other projects in the works, Tom Horn.

Dr. Tom Horn: Well I was just telling Derek and Sharon Gilbert that to try to follow Sharon I'm done, I'm leaving now so... hopefully you've had a very good time. Actually just before I get started what I really want to do is ask my wife, Nita, you might know her as the Pied Piper of ponies. She's a horse whisperer. She's the light of my life. I want her to come and say hi to you.

Nita Horn: Thank you for this opportunity to greet you. I don't normally do this. But I wanted to and I was excited about it and I didn't know what to say when I got up here. But something really cool happened to me today. So, I'm going to get emotional for just a second so bare with me I'm a girl. All of this talk you know apocalypse, DNA change, end of the world, last days, I love it and I hate it. I love it because I know that the redemeption draws nigh and so I'm happy about that. I hate it because what I do love, besides all of my little ponies, is I love my kids and my grandkids. I loved them before they were born and I love them even now before they're born. There are more to come I'm sure there will be more grandkids and I'm going to love them even before they are born. BUT I also hope for their future and I know where my hope lies. I know where our calling is and we cannot stop at this conference. This is the beginning of what our job is and that's to get the word out.

So, I met a wonderful lady earlier today. Terry, thank you so much for coming back to the table and talking to me for a moment. She made me realize that I am not alone in how I feel. And God has given me an opportunity mid of next year to host a ladies event and she agreed to pray for me because this is a very difficult subject for emotional women to cover. Because we just want to either cry. We want to go home and hug our kids and our grandkids. We want to hope for the future. We also don't want to be caught without oil in our lamp. It's a very tough challenge and I know that God has brought me to this to do. So, she's going to pray for me. Thank you and if there's anyone else out there that would like to pray for me please feel free to. Thank you.

Dr. Tom Horn: All I have to say following Jeffrey Rath? and Russ Dizdar, Derick and Sharon Gilbert and Sharon's presentation a moment ago now what have I got to do? There's no winning. I'm already on the downside so I'll just let it fly I guess. See what I told you I would do Mr. Cameraman. Hey I want to say by the way to Sam and Alice Miller who are here and who are running these cameras you're doing this just as a gift. I wasn't here earlier I don't know if we told them thank you. But would give them a round of applause because we very much appreciate their ministry.

One other thing, as I was listening to Sharon's Gilbert's presentation, if you have not read her book "The Armageddon Strain" you should do so because you will be amazed how this book was written some years ago but it is actually unfolding before our eyes right now. In terms of how tecnology has finally caught up to her potential vision some year's ago. It's a scary vision. It's going to scare people like my wife. But maybe it'll also help us get on our knees and pray about the future. Also get involved.

I should tell you that some years ago following Dr. William Cantelon at the Oregon Bethel Park, whatever it was called old-fashioned camp meeting, kind of reminds of having to stand behind Sharon Gilbert because his opening line was, "Man is not a transcendental ideation of interceptive auto ? redaction nor an orgasmic individuality mobilized egreses nor a voltypical modality voltranized transfusive form differentiation spontaneously race mated into homogenius individuality."

And I said, "Say what?"

He explained shortly thereafter that all he had said was that man is not a process of evolution and his point was that these people who want to support evolution and whatever they will do what an old preacher I knew a few years ago used to use the term 16-cylinder phraseology, they'll wrap their conversation in all these big difficult words in order to try to give it the pretense of being scientifically supported or philosophically supported or whatever and if you can't keep up with the language obviously you're the idiot and they're right so get on board believe in evolution and his whole point was it's all a smokescreen ladies and gentlemen.

Well, we've been hearing about the smokescreen today, oh and the first giant catastrophe in today's conference ocurred when Sharon got up to speak. I was outside, I came in and my wife said, "Oh don't tell the joke. Sharon just told it." I had it all worked out. Because I was on Prophesy in the news. I mean PID last week and Derek reminded me of this joke, The transhumanists that go up before heaven and say, "We can make a better man than you can." and God says, "You're going to have to get your own dirt." Evidently you told it. I can't tell it.

But I have an alternative. A little girl goes to her daddy, you always have to have a back up plan in case there's a Sharon Gilbert in the audience, and she says, "Daddy where did people come from?" and the daddy says, "Well a long time ago God made Adam and Eve. He made man in His image. Adam and Eve started having babies and before you know it here's all the human race." So she waited a couple of days and she went to her mommy and she said, "Mommy where did people come from?" And the mommy said, "Well, along time ago there were monkeys and people evolved from the monkeys." Well that confused her so she went back to her daddy and she said, "Daddy you said God made man in His image and that's where everybody came from. Mommy says that they descended from the apes." And he said, "Well it's really simple honey I was telling you about my side of the family and she was telling you about her's."

After today I don't care. But you almost ruined everything for me. The funny thing about that is it's not really quit so funny is that seriously folks, transhumanism INTENDS TO BLEND monkeys, apes, synthetic life forms with humanity before the end of this century and that is a fact. That's not just a fringe fact. That's a National Science Foundation Report fact. That's a DARPA fact. That's a U.S. Intelligence fact. That's a JASON's, the highest think-tank at the U.S. Pentagon fact AND many of them are pointing towards the year 2012. But maybe we'll get to that in just a moment. It is not fringe in other words. In leading think-tanks around the world, Dr. Leon Kass the former Chairman of the President's Council on Bioethics, he says and think-tanks and laboratories around the world. Right now the groundwork is being written, the design if you will is being drafted by which the rest of us ARE GOING TO GET IN LINE or get out of the way or potentially be considered the enemies of progress and I may say something about that in a few minutes too. If you've been following anything over at Raider's News Network and some of the attacks upon me recently but maybe we'll talk about that in just a moment.

I would venture to say that right here in Ohio and oh, by the way, I was a preacher for 25 years and what my body is wanting to do is walk across the stage and you know. But I'm trying to have pity on the poor cameraman and stay here. He's telling me he don't care. But he does not know the speed he would need on that camera to keep up with me. I mean I was an old-fashioned preacher. Russ Dizdar type. We get to going and we leap pretty high and shout pretty loud. But it's the message at the end of the day that matters right Russ?

I would venture to say that right here in Ohio the average Ohioan has no clue, now maybe inside these walls you do, but in this state most of them do not know that in 2006 right here in Ohio Case Law School in Clevelad, Ohio was the recipient of $773,000 Department of Health, the largest U.S. Agency that gives grants for research related to health issues received $773,000 in fact I have their press release right here. (he holds up the press release)

This is from Case Law School. (he begins reading it) "Case Law School received $773,000 NIH grant to develop guidelines... for what? FOR GENETIC ENHANCEMENT RESEARCH. ๐Ÿ˜ฑ๐Ÿ˜ข๐Ÿ˜ก

You can go to our website and download that press release. The whole purpose behind the $773,000 grant was for a 24-month period of time for Professor Maxwll Melman who is the Professor of Bioethics at Case Law School to lead a team of scientists, researchers, and also persons who have an interest in government policy over a 24-month period of time to do one thing only, TO ESTABLISH THE GUIDELINES THAT WILL BE USED IN SETTING PUBLIC POLICY, that is in other words, LAW, by which ALL OF US WILL LIVE that will regulate the next step in human evolution human enhancement. That happened right here 2006. Well in 2009 just last year, the 24-month research period was over, Professor Melman and if you read this I won't take time to read it to you, they talk about using human subjects during this 24-month period of time. So I sat back baited-breath I wanted to know in what way do you use human subjects in experiments for establishing guidelines that will be used for setting public policy with regard to human enhancement as the next step in human evolution? I wanted to know. I'm a taxpayer. This was a taxpayer-funded study. You paid for it. I wanted to know how were humans used?

There was no disclosure yet on how they were used. But here's what I noticed immediately when it was finished being funded Professor Melman began travelling the United States going to different Universities in the United States giving these two University lectures:

NUMBER 1: Directed Evolution. Public Policy and Enhancement.

and the SECOND LECTURE: Transhumanism and the Future of Democracy.

And if you think I'm kidding you can go to Arizona State University, you can go to Google you can type in Professor Melman's name and type in these titles and you can actually go and download the audios where at different Universities he's giving these lectures. I went to listen to them myself. I was amazed in one of them he talks about how yes human enhancement may in fact lead to an extinction level event. Yes, it may lead to the eradication of all life on Earth BUT we're going to do it anyway and that was really his position.

Besides those who are in Ohio I would venture to say that very few are aware that just this last year in 2009 in California there was a House Foreign Affairs Committee hearing. It was chaired by Democrat Brad Sherman. Brad Sherman was picked by the way to to chair this series of hearings because of his expertise in the spread of weapons of mass destruction among terrorists. What was Brad Sherman, this expert in weapons of mass destruction among terrorists, what meeting was he chairing, what was this House for Foreign Affairs Committee all about? Mark Stenzel who is a writer for the Congressional Quarterly attended the HFA hearings. He came back, you can Google his article. He wrote an article for CQ, for Congressional Quarterly called, "Genes Without Borders". In which he described attending a series of government hearings in which he said hey Rob Skiba is a filmmaker he's working on a series right now. He's got the pilot right now is being made. He's made the trailer to sell it to whoever the buyers are in Hollywood or television or elsewhere. The film is called, Seed. Go to Google, type it in, find it, go there, watch the trailer. If you can support this project do so.

But hey, Rob at the HFA hearings, what CQ writer Mark Stenzel made us aware of he said, "It was more like listening to a Hollywood pitch for a Sci-fi movie than it was a sober discussion of scientific reality with its descriptions by government officials OF NEAR FUTURE HORIZON, super humans, super animals, and super intelligence that will become a lethal force against which we are not prepared.

Well, just as I was packing up to leave on this trip. Have you seen this? The Global Governance 2025 at a critical juncture. Have you seen this report? Go to our website ForbiddenGate.com you'll find a link there where you can download this. This came out this week. This is September 2010. This came out this week. This report by the United States Intelligence Community and by the European Intelligence Community. You know what's terrible you're way over there and I have to have glasses on, when I'm close I can't have glasses on. I want to read you just a part of this. Go and download this to read the whole thing for yourself because the whole report is ON GLOBAL GOVERNANCE and what they're talking about are the various issues, the causal agents if you will THAT ARE PUSHING US TOWARD A GLOBAL GOVERNMENT.

U.S. Intelligence, European Intelligence Community just now published September 2010. But go to page 35 and note where they say this, "No form currently exists for dealing comprehensively across the scientific community, industry, and governments on measures needed to diminish the risks posed by the biotechnology revolution."

Now what are the risks? What exactly do they mean? Well they certainly do mean some of what Sharon Gilbert was talking about the potential for terrorists to get their hands on living biological entities, the remake of a mousepox or something else that they could release into dense community populations that could literally become a Black Death. They do mean all of that and there security agents right now that are staying up at night afraid of the very fact that we haven't yet had somebody buy one of your sequencing machines. Well you, I don't think you're selling.

But in any case well so what are they talking about? What is their fear? What is the fear of American Intelligence, European Intelligence when talking about biotechnology as one of those things that can push us suddenly into the need for a GLOBAL GOVERNMENT. Here's what they say page 35 I dropped down only a half a paragraph, "In addition, biotechnology which the OECD thinks will potentially boost the GDP's of its members" listen, "can drive NEW FORMS OF HUMAN BEHAVIOR and ASSOCIATION creating profound cross-cultural ethical questions that will increasingly become politically contentious. Few experts believe that current governance instruments are adequate for these challenges." Then they give an example. "For example, DIRECT MODIFICATION OF DNA at fertilization." Now we're talking about germline engineering. "Is widely research with a GOAL OF REMOVING DEFECTIVE GENES." In other words, our own form of eugenics. "However, discussions of future capabilities open the possibility FOR DESIGNING HUMANS WITH UNIQUE PHYSICAL, EMOTIONAL, OR COGNITIVE ABILITIES." 

Amazing, huh? U.S. Intelligence, European Intelligence providing what? This is an 85 page report you can download and read for yourself. Go to page 35 to read the quote I was just making. But quoting what cause could suddenly set into motion that need for a GLOBAL GOVERNMENT and here's human enhancement. The same thing that the HFA hearings in California were saying that we are on the cusp of something we cannot stop because our enemies, this is what the JASON's are saying, this is what DARPA is saying, this is what the U.S. Airforce is saying. Our enemies will develop this technology ahead of us. Go to Wired Magazine just to get a glimpse and read the articled called, "JASON's (Top Pentagon Scientists) Fear Brain-Modified Foes" and how the Wired Magazine got a leaked document from the Pentagon in which the leading think-tank, the Pentagon, is saying this technology is getting out of the box. It's already starting. They're already doing it.

You know, I haven't seen the movie, but the movie, Splice, have any of you seen that movie? I did a show with Steve Quayle recently and he's telling me all about the movie, Splice. Part human, part animal creature. But something happens, it suddenly starts mutating it becomes something else, it grows wings it becomes what Russ? Demonic? Suddenly it's turning into a giant, the Nephilim, the spirit of the offspring. And now we've opened a gateway through our technology.

Well, but our own leading security experts are saying yeah, yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah can't help it. Other people around the world, China, the Soviet Union, anybody who can develop this technology is developing it right now. We are in a position the JASON's believe that this is the next arms race. Super soldier technology and many other implications of weaponized biology is the next curve if you will taking us where we're going to go.

Well to put it on a very practical platform, am I talking too fast? am I talking too loud? am I talking too stupid? Okay. Because all of the above when you're an old preacher can happen at any moment and you have to get somehow back if you can. You're on a pig trail where am I old lord help me.

Birkbeck Law School and I haven't looked at my notes in so long I don't think I know where I'm at anymore. So hopefully that's okay too.

Birkbeck Law School is one of the leading crime scene investigations schools in the world out of the UK. They put out a press release 24 months ago in which they said on this very practical premise that in the not-to-distant future they're going to have to develop new classes. Guess what for? Analyzing crime scenes that are the result of human nonhumans. That are the result of enhanced humans. Because nothing we know about forensics or profiling, you konw how they go into a crime scene they do all you know everything they do, I don't even watch CSI the television movie so I can't really explain it, shouldn't try. But they go in and do all that they do and you know they come out of it we're looking for a male and he's 25 to 35 years of age, he's probably of an affluent community or whatever. So they have rules that have been developed OVER 200 YEARS or more in which they've learned to analyze a crime scene and now Birkbeck Law School is saying throw it all out the door because if we are dealing with a crime scene that is let's say something that was perpetrated by a serial rapist who is part wolf we're dealing with a werewolf. That sounds insane. That's what they were saying. We wouldn't have a clue. This thing might have a bloodlust for human blood like an animal might. In ways that we simply might not comprehend. Is that sci-fi? No, it's exactly where we're going.

The Holiness of God ~ WOW This Is An AMAZING Interpretation! I Have Been Left In AWE ~~~ ♥ PLEASE READ ♥ Annual Re-Post Since 2008.

Holiness of God
By Pastor Nick Bibile

One of the major differences between Christianity and other religions is that God of the Bible is infinitely holy. The Hebrew word, "to be holy" is quadash, it is derived from the root word qud, which means to cut or separate. God is absolutely separated and is above from all his creatures and he is exalted above in infinite majesty."Who among the gods is like you, O LORD ? Who is like you; majestic in holiness, awesome in glory" (Exodus 15:11) In fact some of the most vivid displays of God's holiness is displayed in the Old Testament. One of the greatest passages is found in Isaiah chapter six.

HOLY, HOLY, HOLY IS THE LORD

Isaiah prophesied during the reign of four kings over a period of sixty years. One of the kings that lived during Isaiahs time was king Uzziah. He became a king when he was 16 years old and reigned the nation for 52 years. Now that is a pretty long time. Its like American people experiencing 13 presidents ruling in their 4 year terms. It was like saying, long live the king, as generations have experienced the rule of Uzziah. But the king died. When he died, apparently the entire nation was feeling a sense of panic and fear, as their leader is dead. Isaiah the prophet went to the temple of God, and he sees another king, an eternal King, sitting on his throne.

"In the year that king Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple." (Isaiah 6:1)

When you see the word Lord, here it refers to Adhonay in Hebrew meaning the sovereignty of God. But when you see the word LORD in capital, it refers to the name of God, Yahweh.

The human king is dead but the sovereign king of the Universe is alive, His Kingship is forever and it never ends. This is a picture of His majesty, His glory and power. The exalted one who became a servant. Yes, he is the one who became flesh. Apostle John said, "Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus glory and spoke about him." (John 12:41)

Isaiah 6:2 says, "Above him were seraphs, each with six wings, with two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying."

These angels were created and designed to proclaim the holiness of God. They were flying with two wings above the throne of God. This is the exaltation of his throne. Then it says that they covered their feet with two wings. Why did they cover their feet? In Exodus chapter three we see how God appeared to Moses in a burning bush. God said to Moses, "Do not come any closer; take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground." (Exodus 3:5) But this is just a normal place, where Moses is familiar with this area. Why is it that only now this spot suddenly became holy? Whenever God's presence appears everything becomes sanctified. It was God's presence that made the ground holy. When God descended in a fire to Mt. Sinai, prior to that he told the people to consecrate themselves. (Exodus 19) Here in Isaiah the angels cover their feet because of the presence of God's holiness. Just imagine, if we see an angel, that would be awesome. But even the angels are covering their feet as God's holiness brings his absolute majesty and glory.

Then it says with two wings they covered their face. Do you know why the angels cover their faces? In Exodus 33:18, Moses asked the Lord to show His glory. God said, "You cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live." (Exodus 33:20) It is absolutely impossible to see the infinite glory of His majesty, not even the angelic creatures, How awesome is His glory! Then God told Moses, "You may stand on a rock. When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand, until I passed by. Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen." (Exodus 33:22-23)

The God of the Universe is infinitely holy, even these angelic beings cannot see the full glory of Him.

Then in Isaiah 6:3, the angels were calling to one another:
"Holy, Holy, Holy is the LORD almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory."


This is the only time in the Bible an attribute of God being repeated three times. The Bible say that God is love, but not love, love, love. According to Jewish custom, when they wanted to emphasize a point they repeated it two times. Jesus said, "Truly, truly I say unto you" This mean it is absolutely truly what he was going to say. But here in Isaiah God's holiness is repeated not to the second degree but to the third degree, which means he is infinitely holy. On the other hand the Antichrist is called with the number 666, repeated to the third degree of evil.

The holiness of God is somewhat different than all His other attributes, as God is holy in all His attributes. He is holy in His Goodness, holy in his Justice, holy in His Wrath, etc., He is majestic in His Holiness, because His name is Holy. In the past the name of a person reflects the character of that individual. God's name is holy, that means all what he thinks and does is holy. "Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name" (Matt. 6:9) "For this is what the high and lofty One says, who lives forever, whose name is holy; I live in high and holy place" (Isaiah 57:15)

The scribes who copied one manuscript to another, when it came to the name of God, they used another pen, and even if a king was passing by when he was writing the name of God, the scribe will not look at the king as the name of God is infinitely holy than anything else.

We can never fully understand the holiness of God. It is immeasurable. He is infinitely holy and the ten commandments reveal his holiness to mankind. Thats why no one can keep the commandments, we all fall short fall of His glory.
Holy Holy Holy Lord God Almighty ... [Song: Agnus Dei]

The Plain Manner In Which Apostle Paul Preached Christ Crucified. The Wisdom Contained In This Doctrine. It Cannot Be Duly Known But By The Holy Spirit. Have You Received The Holy Spirit?

I added the picture above to the message below.

Paul’s Reliance Upon The Spirit
Spiritual Wisdom
[source: Biblegateway.com]

1 And when I came to you, brothers and sisters, proclaiming to you the testimony of God [concerning salvation through Christ], I did not come with superiority of speech or of wisdom [no lofty words of eloquence or of philosophy as a Greek orator might do]; 2 for I made the decision to know nothing [that is, to forego philosophical or theological discussions regarding inconsequential things and opinions while] among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified [and the meaning of His redemptive, substitutionary death and His resurrection]. 3 I came to you in [a state of] weakness and fear and great trembling. 4 And my message and my preaching were not in persuasive words of wisdom [using clever rhetoric], but [they were delivered] in demonstration of the [Holy] Spirit [operating through me] and of [His] power [stirring the minds of the listeners and persuading them], 5 so that your faith would not rest on the wisdom and rhetoric of men, but on the power of God.

6 Yet we do speak wisdom among those spiritually mature [believers who have teachable hearts and a greater understanding]; but [it is a higher] wisdom not [the wisdom] of this present age nor of the rulers and leaders of this age, who are passing away; 7 but we speak God’s wisdom in a mystery, the wisdom once hidden [from man, but now revealed to us by God, that wisdom] which God predestined before the ages to our glory [to lift us into the glory of His presence]. 8 None of the rulers of this age recognized and understood this wisdom; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory; 9 but just as it is written [in Scripture],
“Things which the eye has not seen and the ear has not heard, And which have not entered the heart of man, All that God has prepared for those who love Him [who hold Him in affectionate reverence, who obey Him, and who gratefully recognize the benefits that He has bestowed].”
10 For God has unveiled them and revealed them to us through the [Holy] Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things [diligently], even [sounding and measuring] the [profound] depths of God [the divine counsels and things far beyond human understanding]. 11 For what person knows the thoughts and motives of a man except the man’s spirit within him? So also no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the [Holy] Spirit who is from God, so that we may know and understand the [wonderful] things freely given to us by God. 13 We also speak of these things, not in words taught or supplied by human wisdom, but in those taught by the Spirit, combining and interpreting spiritual thoughts with spiritual words [for those being guided by the Holy Spirit].

14 But the natural [unbelieving] man does not accept the things [the teachings and revelations] of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness [absurd and illogical] to him; and he is incapable of understanding them, because they are spiritually discerned and appreciated, [and he is unqualified to judge spiritual matters]. 15 But the spiritual man [the spiritually mature Christian] judges all things [questions, examines and applies what the Holy Spirit reveals], yet is himself judged by no one [the unbeliever cannot judge and understand the believer’s spiritual nature]. 16 For who has known the mind and purposes of the Lord, so as to instruct Him? But we have the mind of Christ [to be guided by His thoughts and purposes].
I added the picture above to the message below.

(From Forerunner Commentary) written by David C. Grabbe
[source: BibleTools.org]

1 Corinthians 2:9-16

In writing to the Corinthians, Paul gives a simple framework for understanding spirit in general, as well as the Holy Spirit. Verse 11 teaches that each person has a spirit: “For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him?” This echoes Job 32:8: “Thereisa spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.” In this usage, the word “spirit” is synonymous with “heart” or “mind.” This is the intelligent, non-physical part of a person that allows him to think, reason, and comprehend. Verse 11 teaches that a person's spirit is the source and overseer of his thoughts. This spirit in man is not another being within the person but simply the person's center of reason.

Next, verse 12 reveals that the world has a spirit. Like the spirit in man, this spirit is also not a separate being. But this usage of “spirit” is slightly different. Rather than being the center of reason, the spirit of the world is the world's attitude, its inclination, tendency, atmosphere, mood, or frame of mind. The spirit of the world is also the motivating impulse of the culture, which can manifest in many ways, but it will always be anti-God (see Romans 8:7).

Paul describes this spirit in Ephesians 2:2-3, saying that we “once walked according to the course of this world.” The course, or way, of the world is the invisible and immaterial motivating impulse at work in the sons of disobedience. The spirit of the world moves people whom God has not redeemed to conduct themselves in lust, fulfilling the desires of their flesh and mind, putting themselves under the wrath of God. The spirit of the world sweeps mankind along a spiritual channel to keep them in opposition to their Creator.

While spirit cannot be seen, we can see the effects of spirit. It is not a coincidence that the word for “spirit,” pneuma, can also be translated as “wind” or “breath”—just as Job 32:8, quoted above, parallels the spirit in man to “the breath of the Almighty.” We cannot see the moving air molecules in wind, but we can observe leaves and branches being moved and know that wind is present. In the dry areas of the West, tumbleweeds roll along and dust-devils form, spin, and disintegrate, revealing that the wind is at work.

In the same way, we cannot see spirit, but we can see the actions and attitudes of mankind, and thus find evidence of the spirit that is working. The spirit of the world influences and stirs up the spirit in man, inducing the individual to think and feel in a certain way, and ultimately, to act.

Returning to I Corinthians 2:12, Paul mentions a spirit that we have received. This is in addition to the spirit in man, with which we were born, and in opposition to the spirit of the world. This additional spirit is from, and of, God. We can conclude that, like mankind, God also has a Spirit. God has a mind, one of unfathomable depth, capability, and intelligence. But more than simply an overwhelming intellect, God's Spirit includes His attitude, principles, thoughts, feelings, temperament, character, disposition, and will. To put it simply, God's Spirit is the essence of His incredible mind, and it is the new motivating principle that God's children receive.

I Corinthians 2:16 shows that God's Spirit is not another supernatural being. It begins with a quotation of Isaiah 40:13 (“who has known the mind of the Lord that he may instruct Him?”), but then Paul follows up with, “But we have the mind of Christ.” This is Paul's explanation of the spirit we have received. It is a principle, a disposition, a motivating influence that comes from God Himself. “Spirit,” “heart,” and “mind,” while not identical, are used interchangeably. It is the mind of Christ that we have received that allows us to know the things of God, to know what God has prepared for us, and to know the things that have been given to us. Thus, Paul equates the Spirit of God to the mind of Christ. The essence of His mind enhances our minds, giving us spiritual understanding.

The Father and the Son are one, not in the sense of being the same Person, but in the sense of being perfectly united in will, thought, and intent. They are of the same mind, the same heart—the same spirit. It is that Spirit that we receive when we are baptized and have hands laid on us. As a result, we can begin to understand the things of God, which the world cannot understand. Without God's intervention, mankind is only influenced by the spirit of the world, which has its source in “the prince of the power of the air.”

Because God is holy, His Spirit is also holy. God has many facets and qualities, yet the four living creatures in Revelation 4:8 praise Him day and night for being “holy, holy, holy.” The fact that they say “holy” three times does not mean that He is three persons. It means His holiness is superlative—it is the very highest possible. Our holy God's Spirit, the essence of His perfect mind, is also holy. That holiness is not merely an attribute, but it is also what God's Spirit will incline His people toward: holiness in conduct, in attitude, in speech, in every facet of living. God says, “Be holy, for I am holy,” and His Spirit will move us toward His holiness, if we cooperate.

As the apostle Paul begins his first letter to the Corinthians, knowing that he is writing to a congregation divided among various factions, he patiently explains to them what makes them different from those in the world yet at the same time unites the members of the church. He, of course, refers to God's Holy Spirit, given to all Christians at conversion by the laying on of hands. The apostle John calls it "the anointing which you have received from Him" (I John 2:27), implying that Christians have been ordained, and thus set apart or sanctified, to a task or office that others have not been given.

This sets up a dichotomy. On the one side are Christians who have freely received God's Spirit, and on the other are all other human beings who, Paul says, have received "the spirit of the world" (see also Ephesians 2:2). Thus, there is a clash of spirits, a collision of motivating forces, at work between the Christian and the world. The apostle writes in Galatians 5 that the two spirits are diametrically opposed, one producing "the works of the flesh," while the other bears "the fruit of the Spirit" (verses 16-25). In fact, he declares in Romans 8:7, "The carnal mind is enmity against God"; the worldly person, imbibing of the spirit of this world, lives in hostility to God and cannot do what God commands.

The Spirit from God, though, removes the human hostility and allows the Christian to know—that is, realize, understand, and use—the gracious gifts of God. These gifts are predominantly spiritual blessings rather than physical ones. Jesus advises His disciples not to worry about food, drink, and clothing because God knows that physical human beings need such things to live (Matthew 6:25-32). Instead, He says, "Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you" (verse 33). The Christian's mind is to be focused on God's goal and godly things that will propel him along the way there, and he can do this only by the many gifts bestowed through God's Spirit.

Paul's focus in this passage seems to be on knowledge, understanding, and wisdom. Earlier, he had mentioned that God has chosen to spread the gospel message through preaching, which the worldly Greeks considered "foolishness" (I Corinthians 1:23). Yet, this only exposes the fact that the Greeks did not have the ability to understand spiritual matters, and God would ultimately confound them in their "wisdom" through weak and foolish people preaching a "foolish" message of a crucified Savior. The difference is that those weak and foolish people possess a Spirit that comes directly from the Creator God that allows them to know the truth in all its divine splendor.

Thus, in terms of the apostle's overall goal in persuading the Corinthians that they should "be perfectly joined together in the same mind and in the same judgment" (I Corinthians 1:10), he emphasizes that they have this one commonality, God's Holy Spirit, that makes all the difference to them as individuals and as a congregation. So, as he goes on to say, there is no reason for them to be so judgmental one against the other, for they all "have the mind of Christ" (I Corinthians 2:16). Having one mind and being all in one Body of Christ, as he later discusses (I Corinthians 12:12-27), dividing themselves into cliques is both counterproductive and contrary to God's purpose.
