There is a lot of nonsense passing for spiritual awakening these days. The New Apostlic Reformation (NAR) and those prosperity pimps are the ones making this foolishness acceptable to the masses. “This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come. For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, Without natural affection, trucebreakers, false accusers, incontinent, fierce, despisers of those that are good, Traitors, heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God; Having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof: from such turn away.” ??2 Timothy? ?3:1-5? ?KJV??     “Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.” ??Matthew? ?7:15? ?KJV?? “And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.” ??Matthew? ?24:11? ?KJV?? “For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.” ??Matthew? ?24:24? ?KJV?? “And the beast was taken, and with him the false prophet that wrought miracles before him, with which he deceived them that had received the mark of the beast, and them that worshipped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire burning with brimstone.” ??Revelation? ?19:20? ?KJV?? “Then the Lord said unto me, The prophets prophesy lies in my name: I sent them not, neither have I commanded them, neither spake unto them: they prophesy unto you a false vision and divination, and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart.” ??Jeremiah? ?14:14? ?KJV?? 00:58:00MAYADEVInoFalse Prophets,Biblical Truth,Prosperity Gospel,TBN,Joel OsteenStop giving your money to these greedy preachers.5093eaac-a240-4c6b-b786-0614d3a9494813fullhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/maya_deviasha/2017/10/16/why-am-i-going-through-this-wildernessSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/maya_deviasha/2017/10/16/why-am-i-going-through-this-wilderness/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/maya_deviasha/2017/10/16/why-am-i-going-through-this-wildernessMon, 16 Oct 2017 22:30:00 GMTWhy Am I Going Through This Wilderness?Life is hard. And whether you choose to serve GOD or not you will go through trials and tribulations. But with HIM you can make it. “The Lord is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them all.” ??Psalms? ?34:18-19? ?KJV?? “And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the Lord his God.” ?1 Samuel? ?30:6? ?KJV?? “He that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust. Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night; nor for the arrow that flieth by day; Nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness; nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday. A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand; but it shall not come nigh thee. Because thou hast made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High, thy habitation For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder: the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him. With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.”Psalms? ?91:1-7, 9, 11, 13-16? ?KJV?? 00:41:00MAYADEVInoWilderness,Trials,Tribulations,Everyday Life,LifeUnderstanding Why And How We Go Through Trials And Tribulations63e3220c-614a-4fe8-ac85-cf6a6c30baee12fullhttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/maya_deviasha/2017/10/12/oh-really-the-doctrine-that-questionsSelf Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/maya_deviasha/2017/10/12/oh-really-the-doctrine-that-questions/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/maya_deviasha/2017/10/12/oh-really-the-doctrine-that-questionsThu, 12 Oct 2017 04:21:55 GMTOh Really? The Doctrine That QuestionsIt’s time we start using what GOD has given us to identify an flee from false prophets. We have a Bible and we need to use it.   doc·trine \'däk-tr?n\ noun : a set of ideas or beliefs that are taught or believed to be true: a statement of government policy especially in internationalrelations F“Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world. Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world. They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them. We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.” ??1 John? ?4:1-6? ?KJV?? http://bible.com/1/1jn.4.1-6.kjv http://bible.com/1/1jn.4.1-6.kjv   00:26:00MAYADEVInoPimp Preachers,False Prophets,Sin,Trusting GOD,WorldlinessBasically I just want to remind people to trust GOD and not man.

What is it that keeps us believing that miracles are very rare or even worse completely nonexistent?  We need to stop limiting what GOD can do through us and for us. Unlike real estate receiving a miracle has nothing to do with physical location.  What is the difference between a miracle and a blessing? mir·a·cle\'mir-i-k?l\ noun : an unusual or wonderful event that is believed to be caused by the power of God : a very amazing or unusual event, thing, or achievement Full Definition 1 : an extraordinary event manifesting divine intervention in human affairs 2 : an extremely outstanding or unusual event, thing, or accomplishment 3 Christian Science : a divinely natural phenomenon experienced humanly as the fulfillment of spiritual law bless·ing noun : approval that allows or helps you to do something : help and approval from God : something that helps you or brings happiness Full Definition 1 a : the act or words of one that blesses  b : approval, encouragement 2 : a thing conducive to happiness or welfare 3 : grace said at a meal  Do I deserve a miracle? “But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; and all these things shall be added unto you. Fear not, little flock; for it is your Father's good pleasure to give you the kingdom.” ??Luke? ?12:31-32? ?KJV??   “That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust.” ??Matthew? ?5:45? ?KJV??

I have been attending Sim Shalom for a while now and I find it to be a accepting and welcoming place to worship.The following was taken from www.simshalom.com We are Jewish Universalist and believe that G-d equally chose all nations to be lights unto the world.Jewish Universalism teaches that one’s religion is not the sole and exclusive source of truth. We reject the concept of a God that would choose a favorite child.We can accomplish “Tikkun Olam” by our unconditional acceptance of each other’s peaceful doctrines and through J G’milut Chasadim (Acts of Loving Kindness).We are apolitical. We lovingly support Israel as our ancient and modern homeland. We continue to pray for peace. We welcome and nurture everyone in every way- into all of our rituals and into our hearts.Our liturgy is fully participatory- you see everything on your computer screen! And our siddurim (prayerbooks) and prayers are transliterated into English so everyone can join in joyous song and prayer. This will be a wonderful opportunity to see how this rabbi is bridging the gaps between the various groups in our society. 00:42:00MAYADEVInoRabbi,Sim Shalom,Peace,Harmony,LoveA talk with my favorite rabbi, Rabbi Steven Blanehttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/maya_deviasha/2016/01/27/empire-recap-please-hurry-season-3Self Helphttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/maya_deviasha/2016/01/27/empire-recap-please-hurry-season-3/#commentshttp://www.blogtalkradio.com/maya_deviasha/2016/01/27/empire-recap-please-hurry-season-3Wed, 27 Jan 2016 22:00:00 GMTEMPIRE RECAP PLEASE HURRY SEASON 3March seems so far away.
