Translations

• Translations

  On my journey of transformation
  Since I started attending Church mid September of 1993, I got interested in other Bible translations over the years. When I grew up, I was first introduced to The Old King James Version. I didn't like that version in my "up bringing."
  
  But when I got interested in the Book of Revelation, I started reading the New Testament. Later on, I came across The Revised English Bible. This Bible helped me out some. I began attending Church more and became apart of the Church Community. This was where I was introduce to The New King James Version.
  I like to look at different translations from time to time. I am going through the Bible this year. I am listening to the KJV and reading the Bible in the NKJV. As I have been doing this, my thinking has been alert to some things.
  
  I have noticed in Genesis, something catches my attention. Some of the people stated that their Grandchildren were their children. I  thought that that was interesting.
  
  I have notice that on my ancestral search I see some things. Some of my relatives would state that their grandchildren where their children. And even so stepchildren were considered their children.
  
  Now as I am reading more in the New Living Translation, I have been aware of other things. I have liked the NLT since I came across it by listening to a Christian program in 2005 or 2006. This translation has better wording for me.
  
  On my weblog I have been using different translations. I have started to use the Contemporary English Version. Some of this translations have prayers scriptures in them. I like that very much.
  
  I bring my New King James Version Bible to Church gatherings. While in Church, we are at times using the New Living Translation and The English Standard Version. I do like to see other translations. They open up the meaning of scriptures for me.
  The earth is the LORD's, everything in it. The world and all its people belong to him. NLT Psalm 24:1
  The earth and everything on it belong to the LORD. The world and its people belong to him. CEV Psalm 24:1
  It is an honor to receive an honest reply. NLT Proverbs 24:26
  Giving an honest answer is a sign of true friendship. CEV Proverbs 24:26
  
  Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, "Let the children come to me. Don't stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to such as these. NLT Luke 18:16
  So Jesus called the children over to him and said, "Let the children come to me! Don't try to stop them. People who are like these children belong to God's kingdom. CEV Luke 18:16
  Dear Lord, suffer the children to come to us too, all day and suffer us to be kind and open and generous and intent and honest and attentive to them. ---Brian Doyle
  Father God, I am so thankful that I can come to You like a child. I am thankful that there are many translations of Your Holy Book. I am thankful that You call me Your beloved daughters.
  
  I am thankful that NOW FAITH is the substance of things HOPE for and evidence not [YET] seen. I am thankful the Door of HOPE of the everlasting things in You. I am thankful that we have friendship with one another.
  
  I am thankful that HEALING is for everyone. I am thankful that everything belongs to You. I am thankful for Your faithfulness in PROVISION. I am thankful for  awesome SIGNS and WONDERS.
  
  I am thankful for others who find SALVATION through Jesus. I am thankful that I can add things to my Book of Thanks and Blessing every day. I am thankful for Your DELIVERANCE in Jesus' name Amen.

Eve of Christmas Eve Experiences

Reflections: Sunday, 23 December 2007

• Eve of Christmas Eve Experiences

  I went to bed on Saturday night about 10 pm. I was going to be at Church early. As I laid in my bed,  I was awaken during the 2 am hour.It took me a while to fell back asleep.
  
  Then was awaken at 3:10 am. I was aware of an aroma that was in my bedroom. It was a very sweet scent that I have not smelt before. At first I thought it was wood burning. A fire place type smell. I cannot recall how long that I smelt this fragrant.
  
  Then I thought about how the LORD has an aroma. I had a GOOD feeling come over me. There was a point when this aroma got stronger. I could not breathe. So I had to put my head under my cover.
  
  I don't now how long after that I fell back to sleep. It make have been about 20 or 30 minutes later. Then I awake about the 4 am hour.
  
  What awaken me this time was a dream that I had. I was in a dream. In this dream I woke up in that dream, dreaming.
  
  As I woke up I heard PBZ preaching very loudly. I recall that I was trembling at his voice because it was so LOUD. I did not know what was going on.
  
  Then I saw a bright light outside my bathroom. My door was open. I got up from my bed in my dream. I went to see where the light was coming from.
  
  I saw someone who I knew walking. But this person did not appeared to be aware of me. So I started throwing things at him to tell him to leave. This person kept walking.
  
  The next thing I knew the person had vanished. I looked around to see where this person went. Then I look to see where this person got in. It was through a window in the house. Then I woke up for the dream.
  I thought that this was very strange dream. I stayed in be a little while and got up about 4:55 am. I went about my morning preparing for Church. Time went very quickly. I had about 5 hours of sleep.
  
  I got to Church...Things appeared different. I normally would stay for the second service. My other ride was not for sure it she was going the second service so I rode home with the person who brought me.
  
  I did not want to ask anybody at the last minute for a ride home. I thank God that I made it to Church on Sunday.
  
  Church was different. I greeted as I normally do during the first service. My eyes were heavy. That is a sign for me that I was tried and sleepy.
  
  During the service I had a whole long pew to myself.  I received more insight about Jesus' incarnation. (I enjoyed the children singing to us.) What a blessing.
  
  After Church I went to the Upper Room to part take in communion. PTB was leading this communion. I have been learning some things from PTB as he is teaching about communion.
  
  I got myself to gather and I made it home ok. As I got home and got on the internet to see the second service. The service was at the point of when the altar was open for prayer.
  
  I have not had the opportunity to watch Word of Life Church on the internet for a while. As I tuned in I found out that it is was much different than the last time I tuned in. As I watched I realized that it is much better to be in Church than online.
  
  As I watch I felt that I was not apart of what was going on. (I was at the first service.) I get more out of the second service. I got distracted a lot as I was watching online. I was not into what was going on.
  
  So I began to search for my family history as I was listen and watching the service off and on. Church is not the same online. It was like it was not Church so to speak.
  
  After Word of Life Church online went off.. I was off to watch football. I caught some of the Chiefs.(I made some spaghetti.)
  
  I was waiting for the Falcons to come on about 3 pm. As I was watching the Falcons play The Cardinals I got even more bored. I fell asleep through out the game. (Falcons lost in Over Time 27 to 30. One final game left for the season.)
  
  Perhaps I needed the rest that I missed thought out the morning. I had other things on my mind as well. God is so Good. There were some things I saw today that was a touch from Him.
  I thank God for this day. So I thought to add some of today's experiences on my blog site. Tomorrow is another day.
  
  From my Book of Thanks and Blessings.
  Father God,
  I am thankful that I had a lot of time to think today.
  I am thankful that I thought about some things
                      that I have been aware of
                      and so forth.
  I thank You that I had this day of reflecting and relaxation.
  
  What I am aware of on
  my journey of transformation.
  I am being moving in a new direction.
