Matthew 9:32 As they went out, behold, they brought to him a dumb man possessed with a devil.

Matthew chapter 9;32++++



This is the first occurrence of "a devil" in the kjv Bible.


"a devil' is different from THE devil.


A devil - a demon.

The devil - Satan.


Do u see the nuance?..


So what is the first occurrence of demonic possession in the bible? Matthew 9

Hosea 5:4
Spirit of whoredoms


Isaiah 61:4
Spirit of heaviness


Isaiah 29:9-10
Stay yourselves, and wonder;
cry ye out, and cry:
they are drunken, but not with wine;
they stagger, but not with strong drink.


For the LORD hath poured out upon you the spirit of deep sleep,
and hath closed your eyes:
the prophets and your rulers, the seers hath he covered.



Acts 16:16 And it came to pass, as we went to prayer, a certain damsel possessed with a spirit of divination met us, which brought her masters much gain by soothsaying:

These are demon's (maybe with the exception of spirit of deep sleep)

Wife wants me to do overtime for October December ish


I was wondering if I can get a new washroom done but probably too low on funds.

However I don't mind quickly painting the basement.


As for the washroom, I doubt we will be able to do it until we pay off the current debt.


So I will finish everytjing including the basement paint and then I will go back to work to save money for a new bathroom

A reminder that this house be small... Really small


Contractor come in and already don't want to do the job coz how small it is




These parts weren't meant to be renovated.


Don't let the meta fool you. People are here to make their lives more livable. They install basic crap like planks and drywall.



I doubt anyone actually tries supa hard on these parts.




The space is too tiny for people to even notice the difference.




The only place worth renovating is the living room and kitchen.



Everything else is basically a diminishing return.





Why go for porcelain for such a small washroom? Even my father in law just painted his. He is frugal.


Why am I splurging on such a small "property?"



I should save up money and put my time into making more money so that I can buy a home that's actually worth renovating.





Remember what that random salesman said about our home? He was trying to sell security cameras and ogfhandedly he mentioned how the homes here are for low income families.


He didn't mean to be offensive but I was offended. What a fool he probably lost a lot of sales because of how racist and tactless he was. He was honest and had some good points but overall...


But what he said a about the properties in this location wasn't wrong.



I splurged for something temporary.


Next time, God willing, let's aim for the big big big house.



I understand why my uncles house is so damn gigantic. It's because he's a contractor. He understands that his skill value increases with the proportion to the size of the house.



He wasn't trying to flex on anyone. He just wanted to fully utilize his skills.




Same goes for me. No point in buying a mid sized home.


Even if my wife doesn't like big houses. I have no choice. As someone with renovation skills I cannot possibly make merely a small upgrade.



I have to get something like what Kevin has.



Something even bigger than my father in laws homes.




Higher ceilings, wider hallways.


We need big skeleton it's the only way the skills I learned can shine.


God please make a way coz anything else would be suboptimal but I'm not supposed to live a princely life. Help me weigh my options and give me not too much nor too little. I forget who said that.

1 Corinthians 2:5 That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God.

Wisdom is not Paul's priority, neither eloquence of speech

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.

My body is the temple of God. Holy. Sacred. To be protected. I am a living walking breathing talking house of God.

The demons wish to defile it. My flesh wishes to profane it. But I subject my will unto the Father.


1 Corinthians 4:3-5 But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God.

Judge not, lest thee be judged. Criticize not others. Neither criticize yourself. I spoke I'll of my father in law three times recently. God is the judge. Not me.

I lay mine hand upon my mouth that I may be healed and forgiven. Judge no man, neither be concerned of what others judge me.


1 Corinthians 4:13 Being defamed, we intreat: we are made as the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all things unto this day.

Apostles are poor and treated like fecal matter

1 Corinthians 4:19-20 But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord will, and will know, not the speech of them which are puffed up, but the power. For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

Paul is not impressed by words



Paul tackles incest as his first issue after talking about the general issues. Incest is his first specific problem.


1 Corinthians 5:5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.

The church is supposed to expel those who committed incest. By expelling these individuals they might learn and be saved.

Paul says

Go ahead defraud me. I will not call the police on a fellow believer. I will not go to court against another Christian.



I remember reading about John roxkerfellar.

He essentiallt practiced the same thing. He let others defraud him.

And when his partner wanted to sell his share of the company, he calmly agreed.


When you act this way and give people exactly what they want, they will bring retribution onto themselves. That, or god will do it.

These people who despitefully use you and take advantage of your meekness or squishiness, they will defraud only themselves.




Yield to them whenever possible. Sometimes they may bite off a bigger bite than they can chew.


Bless them and curse them not with your mouth nor your heart. Lest the lord hear your thoughts and delay the retribution.


Bless them.
If they want you to go a mile, go with them two miles.


Give them what they want.

Abstaining from sex with the wife

1 Corinthians 7:1-5
​1 Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman. 2 Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. 3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife. 5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency.


Paul says that sex has a big purpose, so that men will not slip into fornication (having sexual relations out of marriage)


The purpose of sex with a wife is so that ye be not tempted by Satan for your incontinency.



Incontinency I take it, in this context, refers to inability to have sex with your wife and fully enjoy it.



If you are incontinent, you need to fix this. The purpose of sex in marriage is to keep each other in good balance so that you will not be defiled.


Do not be complacent in sex with the wife.

Lie

White lie I made

White lies I often make



To skew data



Some of them are blatant lies tho.




Like that time I told someone I did something when I really didn't do it.

And she believed me.

And there was a good outcome and no one was hurt.



That was yesterday.




Why.


Why did I do that? It was such a small error. I should have just admitted it.

But it was partly coz I didn't want to call management and clarify all that bs



As long as the intended outcome was met, that's what I went by.




Maybe this displeased God. Idk. It was a lie.

I said I did something that I didn't do.

Damn.
