Synthesis

"Taking the truth of God's word and making sense of surrounding circumstances"- Jamesvinay

2 kinds:

Holy Spirit synthesis- does not compromise God's standard. sense of assurance. Comprises of wisdom where wisdom is the action following synthesis. Fruit= fruitfulness:D

Human synthesis- Undermine God's standard of holiness. One party loses out. Usually but not always hasty. Fruit= unfruitful or short term fruitfulness.

Holy Spirit Synthesis > Human synthesis

Holy Spirit synthesis occurs if and only if there is the prerequisite of God words, listening prayer and time:

Word + Prayer + Time = Holy Spirit synthesis

Also

Holy Spirit synthesis / Word(X), and Holy Spirit synthesis / Prayer(Y) and Holy Spirit synthesis / Time (Z) which means,

X.Word + Y.Prayer + Z.Time = Holy Spirit synthesis
where x,y,z are units of measurement from one to infinity,

cause you might never understand but you have been faithful:D

Pressure and Performance

Tired.. Exams.. Doesn't make sense for me to halt everything just for the sake of exams.

Too many kids, going under Pressure to perform for the subject area.

Can we go over Pressure?

Can we go through exams without losing hair, growing more pimples, talking less to people and serving God less?

"subjective" listening to God's voice can come due to pressure. I believe (for now) accuracy to God's voice is compromised in such cases.

I seek to know what it really means to "Be still and know that I am God" Ps 46:10a

God hasn't spoken?

How is it that some people hear God and some don't? Or how do people hear one thing from God and others something that is totally opposite?

I'm studying regarding such "subjective" or "selective" listening to God's voice.

Why are people not ready to start serving God?

Not ready? how about distracted..

God hasn't spoken? how about dont want to hear what God is saying..

Not good enough? how about I rather do something with more $$..

No time? how about Jesus is not that satisfying anymore..

Other priorities? how about not interested..

I believe if each and every person that is so free on saturdays were to desire to do God's will with his free time then so many more people will be touched by God moving through their lives.

How does God build a house with half the bricks available?

I heard that the bricks that are not available will be replaced..

Needs...

need manpower!!

May the Lord raise up and send those whom He has called:D

God bless and empower the Talent Placement Departments.

I was reminded of the reasons why God give gifts. According to the Word, everyone has at least one talent. So far, i have come up with an equation which may not be entirely correct:

(Energy + Talent) x God's will = Revival

I think Revival would cover a range of substances like purpose, satisfaction, proper wealth distribution, joy, rest, peace etc. Generalised for the sake of easier comprehension.

Here's another one influenced from Blackabys, 2008 in their 2nd edition Experiencing God;

Patience + Searching God's word + being led by the Spirit = Right Decisions

There is really no glory in speed

How do feelings change in a time frame of 2 weeks?

Not practical, Not sensible, Not solid, Not "Up", Not waiting, really Not the best thing to do.

There is really no glory in speed

One of my friend's nicks wrote:

Everybody's friend is nobody's friend. How would God feel about that?

Observing social trends... God is still sovereign and lovely:D

1st East Timor BBGB company? Shaun said this almost in a jest and it hit me so hard that I thought at the moment "That is so possible!".

I still think it is:D Need money, need manpower
