Live Free from the Curse

“Yahweh says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in man, and makes flesh his arm, and whose heart departs from Yahweh. For he shall be like a bush in the desert, and shall not see when good comes, but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited. “Blessed is the man who trusts in Yahweh, and whose confidence is in Yahweh. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, who spreads out its roots by the river, and shall not fear when heat comes, but its leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” (Jeremiah‬ ‭17:5-8‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When you trust in your arm of flesh, you are unable to receive God’s grace in your circumstances. You make Christ of no effect to you when you operate by the flesh instead of by the Spirit.

The cursed way is to be like Adam after the fall, cursed to eat bread by the sweat of his brow. The ground would sprout forth thorns and thistles, hindering the fruitfulness of what is sown.

Hard labor by the flesh and not by the anointing is the cursed way. “Nothing is going to happen if I don’t do it myself, so I will handle it on my own.” That is the mindset of one who trusts in his arm of flesh.

What is the difference between the “bush in the desert” and the “tree planted by the waters”? The answer is: the presence of water.

The cursed man does not care to receive and meditate on the water of God’s word, so he does not have the hope from God’s promises.

On the other hand, the blessed man is planted by the waters, constantly receiving and meditating on God’s word. He has strong faith and hope in God’s promises, and experiences fruitfulness, health, youth renewal, and provision.

“The farmer sows the word. The ones by the road are the ones where the word is sown; and when they have heard, immediately Satan comes, and takes away the word which has been sown in them. These in the same way are those who are sown on the rocky places, who, when they have heard the word, immediately receive it with joy. They have no root in themselves, but are short-lived. When oppression or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they stumble. Others are those who are sown among the thorns. These are those who have heard the word, and the cares of this age, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the lusts of other things entering in choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful. Those which were sown on the good ground are those who hear the word, and accept it, and bear fruit, some thirty times, some sixty times, and some one hundred times.”” (Mark‬ ‭4:14-20‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Why do you think the devil puts in so much effort to snatch the seed of God’s word from your heart? He deceives, distracts, intimidates, and tempts, all so that he can convince you to give up on God’s word.

It is because a person who allows God’s word to grow in his heart is the biggest threat to the demonic kingdom. A person who prays, loves, and preaches the Gospel destroys Satanic strongholds, yokes, and bondages, setting captives free.

Such a person’s life flourishes through God’s word, and enjoys hundredfold harvests of God’s blessing.

If the enemy can steer you away from receiving God’s word, he can keep you living in defeat. Let us see through his evil strategies and do the exact opposite: every day, receive the Gospel and hear about the gift of righteousness and the abundance of grace available to you through our Lord Jesus Christ. Saturate your mind and heart with the Gospel. This is one way you can silence the serpent in your life!

“Silencing the Serpent” is my ebook about spiritual warfare and how Christians can emerge victorious in it. You will discover the mighty spiritual weapons you have in Christ, and learn about the enemy’s strategies as well as how to counter them with Biblical truths. Expect long-time addictions, bondages, and patterns of defeat to be broken when you meditate on the truths in this book: https://bit.ly/silence-the-serpent-now

🎯PHẦN BÀI MẪU
These days people in some countries are living in a “throwaway” society which means people use things in a short time then throw them away. What are its causes and what impacts can it have?

Dịch đề: Ngày nay người dân ở một số quốc gia đang sống trong một “xã hội bỏ đi” nghĩa là người ta sử dụng đồ đạc trong một thời gian ngắn sau đó vứt chúng đi. Nguyên nhân và ảnh hưởng mà xã hội này gây ra?

The topic of “throwaway society” has been discussed in recent years. In this society, people tend to throw away their old items regardless of whether or not they still work and purchase the latest version of things. This essay will look at some primary reasons for this phenomenon and the adverse impacts that it could have on individuals and the environment.

There are several causes of the throwaway society and I think advertising could be the first culprit. Advertisements encourage people to purchase goods and services that they do not really need by delivering a message that possessing the latest version of an item could improve a person’s self-image, confidence and even social status. For example, many of today’s teenagers spend nearly $1,500 buying iPhone X to show that they are wealthy and fashionable even though their old phones are still in good condition and perfectly functional. Another cause is mass production of non-durable goods which are often used once and thrown away. These products are much cheaper and more convenient than durable ones, hence, attract a large number of customers.

Individuals living in the throwaway society could suffer a great deal. They could easily get into serious debt if they get into the habit of buying the latest, novelty items. Many teens are being burdened with thousands of dollars in credit card debt for their unnecessary purchases, which could lead to depression and anxiety. Environmental degradation is another problem facing the throwaway society. Due to excessive production of disposable goods, huge amounts of hazardous waste are being discharged into the environment, which directly contaminates soil and water.

In conclusion, there are various factors leading to the advent of our throwaway society and increasing consumer debt and environmental damage are the two major problems which result from this society.

不算有什麼新畫面，但這十分鐘前釋出的兩分半預告已經是《007：生死交戰》的……
　
最！終！預！告！了！
　
再等一個月！（都等了……anyway……）

A turbulent journey of a girl travelling across the globe with high hopes & aspirations to seek life to it's fullest only for her dreams to be short lived and forced her to be confined indoors due to the pandemic which then restricted her to live normally again especially when there is no tell when the outbreak will subside. This music video is an invitation to come along on a rollercoaster ride of emotion that enriches the concept of life. A narrative created for the Carmarthen Bay Film Festival.

Personally, this is the most raw piece of filmmaking I have ever done because you will see the happiest and lowest I have ever been in my life. It was my privilege to share this story with you especially in the midst of this historic mark that affected the whole world. When I was editing this for the first time, I literally took 2 hours just to get myself together and not break down. This was an ongoing process till today (I'm much better now, don't worry hehe)

Initially the narrative for Better Half was supposed to be a love story that speaks on the levels of how complicated a relationship can be and to understand the depth of love, better. However, I had to scratch that idea out because my actors and my team had to go our separate ways due to the virus outbreak and social distancing.

Although the process went downhill, I think Better Half was told in it's best version now and I am so proud how it was constructed. I hope this music video gives some sort of inspiration to all of you that even though life will knock you down in the most unimaginable way possible, there is still light at the end of the tunnel. We just need to be brave to find it.

Yes SRX500 is owned,

Always "best in class" machine in the mission was born Mach SS
500SS

Was always conscious of the world's fastest "KAWASAKI", the supremacy of Power [Mach series was developed to meet the needs of North America. After all features are "two-stroke three-cylinder" peculiar layout. At that time [two-cylinder model was mainly 』, each cylinder is small, compact and can reduce vibration cooling mission, from the technical superiority of" three-cylinder two-cycle piston reed valve "was adopted. In fact, "two-cylinder two-stroke Rotaridisukubarubu" The development plan at the same time, the development had been good results with both the actual proposal. But, ultimately, can appeal and innovative design with an innovative technology, "three-cylinder two-stroke piston reed valve" proposal which was adopted.

』[The 500SS 3 Mach Mach (H1), including, 750SS (H2), 400SS (S3), 350SS (S2), 250SS (S1) and had many variations. The emergence of avant-garde high-power machines, the riders were attracted a lot of them ironically are therefore [the supremacy of Power "is fast, unyielding, unstoppable" "and never an easy ride to palaver machine say "we would be described as such. Moreover, machines were invented after the name of "Z1" 討Chitonari chasing the appearance of the wave of the future gradually (4-cylinder air-cooled 4) is swallowed, and was short-lived. Mach series, however, "Mach" The basic layout is unchanged, 400SS · 250SS 1976 to "KH400" "KH250" but changed its name, and was also a longtime production until 1980.

The model had short-lived indeed, and that accelerates like a rocket, an exhaust air-cooling metal fins rugged play is only in the Mach different world. The unruly "horse," I domesticate domesticated, meaning that [the status of motorcyclists 』whether or not then? The Kawasaki but in recent years," Mach strike 4 "and Xanthus as Z1000 also as someone rolled out to.

Madly in love on sight synonymous with Mach-[』will continue to attract many riders still, we fight against Han Mach no end.
Has been developed seeking the seat of the world's fastest 500SS "3 Mach"
"Speed" made a thorough commitment to "Mach" is, Z1 was born six years ago, in 1966, "bigger, more powerful!" Was developed based on the concept in 1969 . Domestic standard is "Tank" Black appeared in. [From the shape of the future born of design, bold! Were] attached a copy of the catch. (Incidentally, the export specification "navy blue stripes on white body" was.)

"Air-cooled two-stroke three-cylinder" layout is peculiar, "Mach" not just an impression, and it was in technical innovation? ... The two-cylinder engine each cylinder from the mainstream of the time it can be reduced, and so compact vibration reduction mission of improving the cooling effect is also the layout is also considered a number of technical advantages. In fact, repeated experiments in parallel with development of various engine layout too, it's also an established style. The first production car "CDI ignition system" was also adopted, and this is the Mach 3.

Multiply the world 放Tta Mach Kawasaki prestige, world-class performance and powerful acceleration, but had high-speed performance, maneuverability is also a good compliment. However, this is why we ride bikes more, "Mach horse," challenging to fight for the ride, the saga created a number of them. "3-speed to leave the wheelie!" Etc., a number of Mach Legend 』is produced, and went around the world to attract more riders. It was also released around the same time "CB750FOUR" It was also cheaper than other performance cars, one reason may be popular. ("CB750FOUR" is 385,000 yen, "500SS" is 298,000 yen.) ... Easier to obtain than the giants sit in a row, you can achieve if they run beyond 乗Rikonasere yet. Many riders would be attracted to such a valiant figure.

Supplement is, in fact, show special effects in TV series was popular a year from 1972 Fuji "Android Kikaider" hero Kikaida sidecar carrying this "Mach 3", respectively. Moreover, spec racer (Nira) is rather surprising from a special machine built in the frame! In addition, the nemesis "Hakaider" The Love Machine H2 (750SS), respectively. The 1970 Tokyo Motor Show is "Kawasaki Mach III special sidecar GT500" had been exhibited as a reference.
