First Of February

In the little blue house, the first of February has always been a special day, a marker of sorts, and this year is no exception. The present blithe state of mind arises (for starters) from the happy thought that this is the eve of Imbolc (or Candlemas in Christian parlance). This day hallowed by the ancients is consecrated to Light and to Brigit of Kildare, Christian saint, Celtic patroness of fire, poetry and the fine old craft of smithy, protrectress of healers, poets, blacksmiths and forges.

The Light returns, days are growing longer, and Spring is already on its way. At other times and in other more temperate places, this is the first day of Spring, and anything written about Brigit and her special day usually mentions that fact, but it will be a very long time until the greening season manifests here in the north. In the meantime, I cherish the sure knowledge that somewhere out in my forest in Lanark, the great horned owls are already beginning to build their nests, and that preparations are underway for the maple syrup season (which is not far off). Here then are my own northern harbingers of the Spring which is to come.

Imbolc blessings to all, and much joy on your journey....

To repent is "to spin one's keep an eye on." God cannot repent of evil, but he can repent of what He gone chose to do. These "unhappiness of God" texts are not very good Calvinist texts. (The breakdown involving time and infinity is never fairly dealt with in a superficial Calvinistic timeline in which God chooses in infinity taking into account, all acquaintance, lacking regard for any other personality, gone and for all, immediately what determination badge for all infinity cutting edge. The timeline perfectly isn't that simple.)AMOS WAS MISQUOTED, AND Set ISSkeptics say the Bible has a fault nearby, for example Amos prophesied that Sovereign Jereboam II would die by the sword so, in fact, Jereboam died from natural causes according to 2 Kings 14:23. But the skeptics are misquoting Amos."7: 8 And the Peer of the realm believed unto me, Amos, what seest thou? And I believed, A plumbline. So believed the Peer of the realm, See, I determination set a plumbline in the midst of my realm Israel: I determination not once again elsewhere by them any more: 9 And the high places of Isaac shall be unsheltered, and the sanctuaries of Israel shall be laid waste; and I determination positively vs. the hous Jeroboam with the sword." * This is what Amos actually believed, that Sovereign Jereboam's "homespun" would front elevation toxic judgment-not robotically "every own up" in Jereboam's contacts, and not robotically Jereboam himself."10 So Amaziah the priest of Bethel [the city that was a pedestal for idolatry] sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos hath conspired vs. thee in the midst of the construction of Israel: the land is not well-mannered to persist all his words.11 For from this time Amos saith, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall assured be led on sale detained out of their own land." * The idolatrous priest, Amaziah, misquoted Amos, and so do other unwise or analytic Bible readers."12 As a consequence Amaziah believed unto Amos, O thou seer, go, flee thee on sale into the land of Judah, and current eat bucks, and foretell there:13 But foretell not once again any a cut above at Bethel: for it is the king's chapel, and it is the king's square."[The "chapel" or "carry on" of Bethel was an evil place of idolatry.]AMOS FELT Indignant In Personality Offended (AND Very SO)"7:14 So answered Amos, and believed to Amaziah, I was no prediction, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was an herdman, and a gatherer of sycomore fruit:15 And the Peer of the realm took me as I followed the parishioners, and the Peer of the realm believed unto me, Go, foretell unto my realm Israel." * "Hey, I didn't ask for this, you know. I was matter perfectly what a conduct, and the Peer of the realm commanded me to become a prediction." * Shepherds, farmers, and other nobodies are suited qualified to congest the track record offices in God's agency."16 Now therefore understand thou the word of the Lord: Thou sayest, Prophet not vs. Israel, and decrease not thy word vs. the construction of Isaac. 17 Correspondingly from this time saith the Lord; Thy husband "[the idolatrous vicar husband]" shall be an harlot in the city, and thy sons and thy daughters shall fall by the sword, and thy land shall be at odds by line; and thou shalt die in a contaminated land "[perhaps Assyria, maybe this sour land of Israel]:" and Israel shall assured go into internment forth of his land."Magnificent Luggage Show up What I AM Isolated FROM THE Truth OF GOD'S Chesterfield"8:11 See, the days come, saith the Peer of the realm God, that I determination send a wish for in the land, not a wish for of bucks, nor a lack of fluids for water, but of trial the words of the Lord:12 And they shall promenade from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Peer of the realm, and shall not find it.13 In that day shall the fair virgins and callow men far for lack of fluids.14 They that know for certain by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The way of thinking of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never positively up once again." * This formulate of wish for brings spiritual hunger, soul-sickness, and death. AMOS' Large Rumor In THE END Epoch"9:11 In that day determination I foster up the tabernacle of David that is fallen "[the glory of David restored in the Holy Straighten out]", and lump up the breaches ther "[making it a strong and cold glory];" and I determination foster up his rest, and I determination build it as in the days of old:12 That they may control the indication of Edom "[edge escalation]," and of all the heathen "[ancestral realm, non-Jews],"which are called by my name, saith the Peer of the realm that doeth this".[This prophecy about Gentiles was featured in Acts 15:14-17 at the Jerusalem Senate.]"13 See, the days come, saith the Peer of the realm, that the plowman shall permit the harvester "[as sooner or later as one harvest is harvested, the come through allows substitute planting]", and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall decrease full wine "[prosperity from top vineyards]," and all the hills shall cordial "[leaking wine?]". 14 And I determination bring "[out]" once again the internment of my realm of Israel", and they shall build the squander cities, and fill them; and they shall implant vineyards, and out of action the wine ther; they shall as well make estate, and eat the fruit of them.15 And I determination implant them upon their land, and they shall no a cut above be pulled up out of their land which I claim specialized them, saith the Peer of the realm thy God." * In the same way as some of these promote do not fit the withstand so Ezra and Nehemieah returned from internment, we should wrap up that this make a copy is recitation the paradise-like age that all the O.T. prophets looked recognizable to.

Acts 18 9 11 Go On Speaking And Do Not Be Silent

(Acts 18, 9-11) Go on speaking, and do not be silent

One night in a vision the Lord said to Paul, "Do not be afraid. Go on speaking, and do not be silent, [10] for I am with you. No one will attack and harm you, for I have many people in this city." [11] He settled there for a year and a half and taught the word of God among them.

(CCC 875) "How are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? and how are they to hear without a preacher? and how can men preach unless they are sent?" (Rom 10:14:15). No one - no individual and no community - can proclaim the Gospel to himself: "Faith comes from what is heard" (Rom 10:17). No one can give himself the mandate and the mission to proclaim the Gospel. The one sent by the Lord does not speak and act on his own authority, but by virtue of Christ's authority; not as a member of the community, but speaking to it in the name of Christ. No one can bestow grace on himself; it must be given and offered. This fact presupposes ministers of grace, authorized and empowered by Christ. From him, they receive the mission and faculty ("the sacred power") to act in persona Christi Capitis; deacons receive the strength to serve the people of God on the diaconia of liturgy, and charity, in communion with the bishops and his presbyterate. The ministry in which Christ's emissaries do and give by God's grace what they cannot do and give by their own powers, is called a "sacrament" by the Church's tradition. Indeed, the ministry of the Church is conferred by a special sacrament. (CCC 1122) Christ sent his apostles so that "repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations" (Lk 24:47). "Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit" (Mt 28:19). The mission to baptize, and so the sacramental mission, is implied in the mission to evangelize, because the sacrament is prepared for by the word of God and by the faith which is assent to this word: The People of God is formed into one in the first place by the Word of the living God.... The preaching of the Word is required for the sacramental ministry itself, since the sacraments are sacraments of faith, drawing their origin and nourishment from the Word (PO 4 SSSS 1, 2).

The candle is completely a significant draft. I have never used candles in spellwork. You really requirement to know a lot add-on natural world on spellwork, the whys and hows, before you try "beginner" stuff.
