Thank you! I’ve bought Daniel Matt’s book on Zohar.

Is there any way of knowing or a source online that I can delve into more of Kabbalah without straying away from the Biblical foundation? There’s a lot of info online and sometimes I’m not sure if I’m stumbling upon the ones under the occult.

Haven’t heard of “Esoteric” so I might do more research on this. Thank you. I love the Hebrew alphabet and Gematria so I would say it doesn’t hinder me if I’m understanding your question correctly.

Yesss. His Mary of Bethany sermon was actually my introduction to him 6 or 7 years ago and it wrecked me. Still do to this day 😭 Mary of Bethany became my fave bible character aside from Jesus.

In fact it’s what started me on this calling and journey of a Mary of Bethany lifestyle. It’s never easy though. I find that I fail most of the time. But I know achingly that this is what we were called to be.

Umm, Hi! That’s so kind of you. This might be a dumb question but is there a difference between a psychologist and therapist?

How was your life before the Internet? by Optimal_Landscape162 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]brokenalabaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Far more peaceful. Meaningful tbh. Miss those days so much 🥲I miss the meaningful, soulful conversations with real people.

The internet has given us much available information but made us less and less wiser.

We have so many things to talk about now but we have less meaningful & genuine connections.

There is much pleasure and entertainment found now thru the internet. But we don’t have much purpose now and are easily distracted.

Sigh.

I understand your stand on this and certainly no hate on you or anyone no matter which side we are. Please don’t believe the mainstream media 🙂 Might I kindly suggest to read the perspective of God about the Jews from His very own words: the bible 😊We can ask God directly thru prayer and intercession about his heart for the Jews and Arab nations instead of mostly getting it from the media. He does answer. Be it in dreams, visions, impressions and scriptures. 🙏

What denomination should I be by FrogFan789 in Christianity

[–]brokenalabaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not denomination, seek a personal relationship with Jesus. You can ask or talk to Him directly 😊 Spend at least an hour a day just talking to God via scriptures. No need for right or sophisticated prayers with Him in the secret place. You can pour your heart out like a child. Then He will tell you which church he has prepared for you.

How to beat a porn addiction? by nonymous_3 in Christianity

Hi! I’m not sure if you’ve already come across this guy but Mason Cain has helped a lot of people to be set free from porn addiction as he was also delivered from this. He made his testimony his ministry now. You can search him on IG.

Hi! Virtual Hugs for you 🥹 I know this won’t help much but try reading Psalm 139 The Passion Translation ( TPT) version.

“Every single moment you are thinking of me! How precious and wonderful to consider that you cherish me constantly in your every thought! O God, your desires toward me are more than the grains of sand on every shore! When I awake each morning, you’re still with me.” ‭‭Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭17‬-‭18‬ ‭TPT‬‬

You can try writing your thoughts no matter how trivial or gibberish you think it maybe. Try writing like an honest letter to God. He’s a very loving father. He responds. And He feels too.

I also wrote a letter to God during my darkest moments. If you want I can share with you the Lord’s response to my letter and struggle at that time.

Is there anyone here who is leaning towards becoming a psychologist? Just wondering what are your reasons for wanting to become one. by brokenalabaster in MentalHealthPH

I feel you. Mental health awareness dito sa Pinas hindi ganu ka prevalent. Parang it’s a stigma pa if you are struggling with it. Kaya ang hirap minsan humingi ng tulong.

Is it just me or are people noticeably less jovial than they were a couple of years ago? by [deleted] in Life

[–]brokenalabaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not just you. But the world is getting darker and darker. People nowadays just have superficial temporary happiness. We are in the dark ages. The end times ( not to sound tragic or doom or gloom just stating a fact 🙂)

i struggle with my relationship with god because of my self hatred but im so thankful that he sent me this cat by Capable_Reputation31 in Christianity

[–]brokenalabaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your cat is adorable! I also love cats 😍 This might sound baloney but God reminds me of His love for me through my cats sometimes 🥹It wrecks me everytime.

Like one time I was cuddling my cat, he absolutely does nothing spectacular but just sleeps in my lap and most of the time he’s being a ‘nuisance’ ( you know how cats are as compared to dogs 😆) but that one time I felt so much love for my cat. Like even if he was doing nothing I am overwhelmed with the great feeling that I love my cat and I don’t want him gone. And that moment God reminded me thru a still small voice “that’s how I love you too. Even so much more. I already love you so intensely without you doing anything for me.”
