"World Day Against Trafficking: why literacy is a powerful weapon

https://www.mnnonline.org/news/world-day-against-trafficking-why-literacy-is-a-powerful-weapon/ 

"

July 30 is World Day Against Trafficking. In India, poverty and lack of education create openings for traffickers to exploit millions of people. Mission India is highlighting one practical way to help prevent trafficking before it begins: literacy.

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain..." (Exodus 20:7, KJV)

The Third Commandment is:

"Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain..." (Exodus 20:7, KJV)

Theologians have understood this commandment in several related ways. Here are ten of the most common interpretations:

1. Profanity or cursing with God's name This is the most familiar interpretation: using God's name as a swear word or in an irreverent way.

2. Making false oaths Using God's name to guarantee something that is untrue. For example, saying, "I swear to God," while lying or intending to deceive.

3. Breaking vows made to God Making promises to God and then deliberately failing to keep them without repentance.

4. Claiming God said something He did not Saying, "God told me..." or "God wants you to..." when He has not actually spoken. Many theologians see this as a serious misuse of God's name.

5. Using God's name to manipulate others Invoking God's authority to pressure, intimidate, or control people for personal gain.

6. Hypocrisy: Calling yourself a follower of God while deliberately living in a way that dishonors Him. Since God's people bear His name, their actions reflect on Him.

7. Treating God casually or disrespectfully Using God's name as a meaningless expression ("Oh my God") or speaking of Him without reverence.

8. False teaching: Teaching error while claiming to represent God or Scripture faithfully. This takes God's name in vain because it misrepresents Him.

9. Using religion for personal gain Exploiting God's name for money, fame, political power, or influence rather than serving Him sincerely.

10. Bearing God's name without honoring Him Some scholars note that the Hebrew verb can also mean "carry" or "bear." In this view, the commandment warns God's covenant people not to bear His name "in vain" by representing Him falsely through their lives.

Many biblical scholars believe the commandment is broader than simply avoiding profanity. It calls believers to treat God's name, character, authority, and reputation with reverence in their speech, worship, promises, teaching, and daily lives.

Jesus also emphasized this principle when He taught His disciples to pray, "Hallowed be thy name" (Matthew 6:9, KJV), meaning God's name should be honored as holy.

"One in seven Christians live under high levels of persecution, according to a report by International Christian Concern. That is 380 million people.

Nettleton says that religious freedom matters, but the body of Christ’s first response to persecution should be walking alongside the family of God in prayer, not politics. Advocating for government change cannot be the end for Christians.

“The first priority I think should be spiritual action, and that starts with prayer,” Nettleton says. .."

Dear blog followers, please pray 🙏 for me !

“Call upon Me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you” — Psalm 50:15

Heavenly Father, Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth, I come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, Your Son, the Healer and Redeemer. Lord, I lift up this person to You right now as they are preparing to go into the emergency room with severe lower back pain. You see their body, You see their suffering, and You see every detail that is hidden from human eyes.

Lord Jesus, You are the Great Physician. You walked among the sick, You touched the broken, You healed the lame, and You brought comfort to those in pain. I ask that You extend Your healing hand right now over their body. Touch their lower back, every muscle, every nerve, every disc, every joint, and bring relief where there is pain. Let inflammation be reduced, let tension release, and let comfort begin to replace distress.

Father, I ask for wisdom upon the doctors, nurses, and medical staff who will care for them. Give them clarity of mind, sharp discernment, and compassion in their actions. Guide them quickly to the right tests, the right diagnosis, and the right treatment. If there is anything serious or hidden causing this pain, reveal it early and clearly so it can be treated properly. If it is something that can heal with time and rest, let that healing be steady and complete.

Lord, I ask for peace to cover their mind right now. Remove fear, anxiety, and frustration. Replace it with Your calm presence. Let them not be overwhelmed by waiting or uncertainty. Let them feel Your nearness even in the emergency room, even in the pain, even in the discomfort.

Jesus, You said that You are our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Be present now in that hospital room. Let them sense that they are not alone. Strengthen their body to endure the process of waiting, evaluation, and treatment. Give them patience when things move slowly and relief when care is given.

Father, I also ask for protection over their entire body. Protect their spine, their kidneys, their nerves, and every system that supports them. Let nothing dangerous grow or worsen. Let healing begin even before treatment is fully administered. Let their body respond well to whatever medication or care is given.

Lord, I thank You that You are merciful and good. I thank You that You hear prayer. I thank You that You care about even this moment of pain and uncertainty. Let this situation not lead to fear, but to restoration. Let it not lead to harm, but to healing. Let it not lead to confusion, but to peace and clarity.

In the mighty and powerful name of Jesus Christ I pray, Amen.

I'm heading to the ER !

Re intercessory prayer 🙏

The debate over praying to the saints (intercession) centers on how one interprets the relationship between the living, the deceased, and God. Below is a synthesized look at the primary arguments used by both sides.

Arguments For the Intercession of Saints

Proponents (primarily Catholics and Orthodox Christians) view the Church as a single, undivided family that spans both earth and heaven.

The "One Body" Principle: Based on 1 Corinthians 12 and Romans 8:38, believers argue that death cannot separate a Christian from the "Body of Christ." If we are all connected, those in heaven are still our brothers and sisters who care for us.

The "Great Cloud of Witnesses": Hebrews 12:1 describes those who have passed as a "cloud of witnesses" surrounding us. This is interpreted as a sign that they are aware of our lives and cheering us on from the "stands" of heaven.

Biblical Imagery of Prayers: In Revelation 5:8 and 8:3-4, elders and angels are seen holding "golden bowls" containing the prayers of the believers on earth. This suggests that those in heaven play an active role in presenting our petitions to God.

The Power of Righteous Prayer: James 5:16 says the prayer of a righteous person is "powerful and effective." Proponents argue that those in heaven are the most righteous humans possible, making their prayers exceptionally effective.

Jesus’ Words on the Living: In Matthew 22:32, Jesus says God is "not the God of the dead, but of the living." This supports the idea that saints are fully conscious and active, not "asleep" or unreachable.

Arguments Against the Intercession of Saints

Opponents (primarily Protestant denominations) emphasize the sufficiency of Christ and the strict boundaries set in Scripture regarding prayer.

The Sole Mediatorship of Christ: The most cited verse is 1 Timothy 2:5: "For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus." Critics argue that asking saints for help creates unnecessary "middlemen" when we have direct access to God.

The Limit of Human Nature 

: Critics argue that for a saint to hear millions of simultaneous, silent prayers in different languages, they would need to be omniscient (all-knowing) and omnipresent (everywhere at once). They believe these attributes belong to God alone.

The Silence of the New Testament: Opponents point out that there is no command in the Bible to pray to the deceased, nor do the Apostles ever model this behavior in their letters. They follow the principle of Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone).

Prohibition of Necromancy: Some argue that any attempt to communicate with those who have died violates Deuteronomy 18:10-11, which forbids consulting the dead. They believe the boundary between the living and the dead should not be crossed.

The Sufficiency of the Holy Spirit: Romans 8:26 says the Holy Spirit intercedes for us when we don't know how to pray. Critics argue that with the Spirit and Jesus already advocating for us, seeking saints is a distraction from the Trinity.

Summary Comparison

| Feature | Pro-Intercession Perspective | Anti-Intercession Perspective |

|---|---|---|

| Status of Saints | Alive and active in Christ. | Dead or "asleep" until the Resurrection. |

| Nature of Prayer | Like asking a friend to pray for you. | An act of worship or communication reserved for God. |

| How they hear | Through God’s power/the Holy Spirit. | Impossible; humans are not omniscient. |

| Biblical Focus | Revelation 5:8 (Prayers in bowls) | 1 Timothy 2:5 (One Mediator) |

Whether your relatives in heaven can hear you depends on which theological framework you follow. Here is the breakdown of the two primary views:

The Yes Perspective (Communion of Saints)

This view, held by Catholics, Orthodox Christians, and some Anglicans, suggests that your relatives are active and aware.

The Mystical Connection: Believers argue that the Body of Christ is not broken by death. If we are all one in Jesus, those in heaven remain connected to those on earth.

The Cloud of Witnesses: Based on Hebrews 12:1, it is believed that the deceased act as a cloud of witnesses who observe and support the living.

How they hear: It is not believed that humans become all-knowing when they die. Instead, through their perfect union with God, he allows them to be aware of your prayers and needs so they can pray for you in return.

The No Perspective (Sole Mediatorship)

This view, held by most Protestant denominations, suggests that communication with the deceased is neither possible nor biblically supported.

Christ as the Only Bridge: Based on 1 Timothy 2:5, which states there is one mediator between God and mankind, critics argue that we should go directly to Jesus. They believe involving relatives creates middlemen that aren't needed.

Soul Sleep: Some interpret the Bible to mean the dead are asleep or at rest (as mentioned in 1 Thessalonians 4:13) until the final resurrection, meaning they are not conscious of earthly events.

Human Limitations: This view argues that hearing prayers would require a relative to be everywhere at once (omnipresent), which is a trait belonging only to God.

Summary

If intercessory prayer includes the deceased, it is seen as a family conversation where those in heaven pray with you to God. If it is rejected, it is because prayer is seen as an act of worship meant only for God, with the deceased having no role in earthly affairs.

Prayers for Iranians ✝️🙏🇮🇷

Lord Jesus, Source of Light and Grace,

We seek the comfort of Your face.

For those who dwell in Persia’s land,

We ask the shield of Your right hand.

The innocent are filled with fear,

O Savior, draw their spirits near.

From city streets to mountain height,

Be Thou their beacon in the night.

For those who face the gallows' rope,

Restore their breath, renew their hope.

For every soul in prison's deep,

The promises of mercy keep.

The shadows grow, the fires burn,

To You, the Prince of Peace, we turn.

Protect the mother and the child,

Midst storms of war and passions wild.

For those whose homes are turned to dust,

In Your compassion, they must trust.

Provide for those with bread and rest,

The weary and the most oppressed.

Break every chain of iron and hate,

And open wide the freedom gate.

Give wisdom to the hearts of men,

To seek for peace and life again.

Restrain the hand that seeks to kill,

Subdue the pride and human will.

Let justice roll like waters deep,

While those who mourn are lulled to sleep.

We pray for those who stand alone,

That Your great mercy may be shown.

O Christ, who bore the cross’s pain,

Let not their suffering be in vain.

Bring healing to the wounded ground,

Where grace and courage now abound.

To Father, Son, and Spirit blest,

We give our fears and find our rest.

Keep Iran’s people in Your sight,

And lead them safely toward the light.

Amen.

The Olga drama continues

-

So I mentioned previously this lady I call her Olga.  I don't know her real name but she's always at every university gathering that includes free food. Literally.

When I first started coming to this university as a member of the community I enjoyed the free food gatherings as well. Now I am actually more interested in the lecture than the free food, but sometimes they go hand in hand.

I think she showed up around the same time I did- maybe a little bit after -because I noticed she would watch me for cues as to what to do -as if she considered me an authority or something. 

And she would imitate me. Occasionally I might hold up my phone to take a picture of a screen that the speaker is referring to. And then I would notice she does the same thing a few seconds after me.

 It wasn't coincidence. She noticed I did it and that prompted her to do the same even though I don't think she even was really taking a picture or if she was,  she didn't really care what she was taking a picture of. 

And at  a law school event, when I put the back down of one of the chairs in the law school room where those chairs go down, I noticed she did the same a few minutes later. 

Then, last week r I arrived early for an event, and then she showed up and even though  the room was still fairly empty, she asked if she could sit right next to me. It was odd and very creepy to me because we're not friends. I've never talked to her nor have I gotten to know her at all because I just plainly don't like her. 

I noticed her piggish behavior from the beginning she would position herself to always be right by the food table sometimes getting up in the middle of a lecture because she knew it was coming to an end and so she wanted to be right by the door where she could get to the food fastest, & first .

 I've seen her go to one event to get some food and she fills her plate and she takes that plate & she comes to a second event for more food .

 I'm wondering where she comes from and by the way where she lives- I'm wondering if she actually sleeps in an office of somebody who she's a friend with -maybe she's a friend with a professor who's kind of made her into an activist of some sort.

 Because she's so easily able to show up at all these events all the time on time she has to have some kind of easy access to the campus.

She has asked questions to a speaker a few times and she speaks in broken English so she's obviously from another country. But as I was saying just this last few weeks the odd behavior has been increasing because first of all she asked to sit next to me. 

A week later I noticed she put her stuff down right next to a chair where my laptop was- which I had placed there as I came in so I would have a chair to sit in because the seats fill up fast at this particular venue.

 So there she is trying to sit next to me again. When I noticed she put her stuff down right next to my chair I just picked up my laptop and moved somewhere else. I'm starting to wonder if she's actually just trying to harass me . 

And then most recently today I noticed when I came in she was already sitting in the chair I sat in last time as if she intentionally was trying to take my chair.

 Personally I'm not obsessive compulsive. I don't need to sit in the same chair every time, but I thought this was some kind of intentional weird trolling behavior on her part. Or simply another form of harassment. 

But simply speaking it's really getting tiring to see her at everything that I attend. It's stifling me. And it might be a little less annoying if she would just do her own thing but now she's obviously trying to sit next to me or sit in the chair that I sat in last time.  it's really weird and creepy. 

I don't know what to do about it, because I was intending  to at least finish this year at this university as a member of the community attending my usual events and lectures, but I don't want to keep going if she's going to be there, and especially if she's trolling me or trying to harass me in a slight way. 

I've been using the university facilities to continue to work on my project on my laptop, which requires quiet study settings & space to think and type etc and do research. So I've been at the university campus in various places doing my work and then I attend these events on the side. It's been perfect for me up until the Olga drama has climaxed so to speak . 

So anybody out there if you're a member the university community or even if you're not if you just hear this and especially if you're a Christian I ask for your prayers for this situation and pray 🙏🙏🙏🙏for Olga herself that whatever is making her tick somehow will be resolved- that she can find a purpose- and for meaning in life besides just going to free food events at the university every day & harassing me👎

God bless Javid Khales 🙏

https://x.com/i/status/2014539137827930546

Psalm 82:7 — "Rescue those who are oppressed and save the innocent from the hand of the wicked."

IPE: A young Iranian soldier, Javid Khales, is facing a death sentence for refusing orders to shoot protesters during massive anti-government demonstrations. The protests, sparked by economic hardship and dissatisfaction with Iran's leaders, grew from tens of thousands to about five million participants. The Iranian regime has responded violently, using live ammunition, arresting over 20,000 people, and enforcing an internet blackout. Human rights groups say Khales' sentencing shows the regime's use of the judiciary to force obedience. The U.S. has deployed a naval carrier to the region, with President Trump threatening potential military action if executions continue.

I am 95% sure this captures the main points accurately.
