Shane's Castle, Co. Antrim has great oak trees – among the oldest and biggest in Northern Ireland.
The greatest of the oaks stands beside the ruins of the previous castle, a fine house on the shore of Lough Neagh, accidentally burnt when it was still a relatively new building. It is a perfect oak in shape and stature and measures 20' 10" around its circumference.
The age of oaks at Shane's has been the subject of dendrochronology, dating by tree rings. By examining trees felled in 1982 one was dated to 1675, another felled in 1989 was even earlier at 1649. The giant survivor by the old castle could be of this sort of age, seventeenth century.
Their size is due to rapid growth in the rich soil and damp climate so they have wide annual growth rings. By taking horizontal borings into the trunk, live trees may be aged without felling – this has indicated around 1780 for the older Crom oaks, most are nineteenth century.
The oaks are relics of a time before the great house of Shane's Castle was built, before villages were cleared to make way for the fields in which they now stand.

Paul Edmund-Davies says, "If you have air, you have a voice." What exactly does this mean? Well, breathing properly is critical when playing a wind instrument, and Mr. Edmund-Davies elaborates on this in the video lesson below. He says that it is important to understand the workings of the lungs and how to control air. He discusses "types of breaths" that he has observed over the years and compares the "shallow breath" with the much more substantial "diagonal breath." Musical examples featured in the lesson include Debussy's Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune, Mozart's Flute Concerto No.1 in G Major, K.313, and Bach's Flute Concerto in G Minor, BWV 1056.

'100 times better' – Tiny magnetic vortices could transform high-performance computers
Magnetic fields created by skyrmions in a two-dimensional sheet of material composed of iron, germanium and tellurium. Credit: Argonne National Laboratory
Tiny magnetic vortices could revolutionize high-performance computer memory storage.
Magnets create invisible fields that attract certain materials. A familiar example is fridge magnets. However, they also play a vital role in storing data in computers. By exploiting the direction of the magnetic field (for example, up or down), the microscopic bar magnets can each store a bit of memory as a zero or a one, which is the basis of computer language.
Scientists at the US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory are working to replace these bar magnets with tiny magnetic vortices, known as skyrmions. These vortices, which are as small as billionths of a meter, form in certain magnetic materials and have the potential to usher in a new generation of microelectronics for memory storage in high-performance computers.
"Bar magnets in computer memory are like shoelaces tied with a single knot; it takes almost no energy to cancel them out," said Arthur McCray, a Northwestern University graduate student who works in Argonne's Materials Science Division (MSD). And any bar magnets malfunctioning due to interruptions will affect the others.
"In contrast, skyrmions are like shoelaces tied with a double knot. No matter how hard you pull on a strand, the laces stay tied." Skyrmions are thus extremely stable to any disturbance. Another important feature is that scientists can control their behavior by changing the temperature or applying an electric current.
Skyrmion clusters change from highly ordered to disordered with temperature from -92 F (204 kelvin) to -272 F (104 kelvin). Bright dots indicate order. Credit: Argonne National Laboratory
Scientists have a lot to learn about Skyrmion's behavior under different conditions. To study them, the Argonne-led team developed an artificial intelligence (AI) program that works with a high-power electron microscope at the Center for Nanoscale Materials (CNM), a DOE Office of Science user facility at Argonne. The microscope can visualize skyrmions in samples at very low temperatures.
The team's magnetic material is a mixture of iron, germanium and tellurium. In structure, this material is like a stack of paper with many sheets. A stack of such sheets contains many skyrmions, and a single sheet can be peeled off the top and analyzed at facilities such as the CNM.
"The CNM electron microscope coupled with a form of artificial intelligence called machine learning allowed us to visualize skyrmion sheets and their behavior at different temperatures," said Yue Li, an MSD postdoc.
"Our most intriguing finding was that the skyrmions are arranged in a very ordered pattern at minus 60 degrees.[{" attribute="">Fahrenheit and above," said Charudatta Phatak, a materials scientist and group leader in MSD. "But as we cool the sample the skyrmion arrangement changes." Like bubbles in beer foam, some skyrmions became larger, some smaller, some merge, and some vanish.
At minus 270, the layer reached a state of nearly complete disorder, but the order came back when the temperature returned to minus 60. This order-disorder transition with temperature change could be exploited in future microelectronics for memory storage.
"We estimate the skyrmion energy efficiency could be 100 to 1000 times better than current memory in the high-performance computers used in research," McCray said.
Energy efficiency is essential to the next generation of microelectronics. Today's microelectronics already account for a notable fraction of the world's energy use and could consume nearly 25% within the decade. More energy-efficient electronics must be found.
"We have a way to go before skyrmions find their way into any future computer memory with low power," Phatak said. "Nonetheless, this kind of radical new way of thinking about microelectronics is key to next-generation devices."

Textualism and Statutory Precedents
By Anita S. Krishnakumar
Article — Volume 104, Issue 2
104 Va. L. Rev. 157
This Article seeks to shed light on a little-noticed trend in recent U.S. Supreme Court statutory interpretation cases: the Court's textualist Justices—or at least some subset of them—have proved remarkably willing to abandon stare decisis and to argue in favor of overruling established statutory interpretation precedents. This is especially curious given that statutory precedents are supposed to be sacrosanct. Congress, rather than the Court, is the preferred vehicle for correcting any errors in the judicial construction of a statute, and courts are to overrule such constructions only in rare, compelling circumstances. What, then, accounts for the textualist Justices' unabashed willingness to overrule statutory precedents in recent years? And how can this practice be reconciled with textualism's core aims of promoting clarity and stability in the law?
This Article advances a threefold thesis. First, it argues that the textualist Justices view precedents that create a test for implementing a statute (e.g., the "motivating factor" test for Title VII violations) as different from ordinary text-parsing statutory interpretation (e.g., "labor" means "manual labor"). More specifically, textualist jurists regard what I call "implementation test" precedents as akin to common-law decision-making, rather than statutory interpretation—and seem to have created a de facto "implementation-test exception" to the heightened stare decisis protection normally afforded statutory precedents. Second, the Article links textualist Justices' proclivity for overruling to an oft-unspoken predicate assumption of textualism—that is, that there is a singular "correct answer" to every question of statutory interpretation. This assumption may make it especially difficult for textualist jurists to accept the idea that an incorrect statutory interpretation should be left in place simply because it was first in time. Last, the Article notes that some textualist jurists see themselves as "revolutionaries," whose function is to overthrow the old, corrupt jurisprudential order, including outmoded precedents reached through the use of illegitimate, atextual interpretive resources.
Ultimately, the Article both supports and critiques textualist Justices' approach to statutory precedents. On the one hand, it argues that a relaxed form of stare decisis for implementation test precedents makes sense for many reasons, as long as special deference is given to implementation tests that Congress has expressly endorsed. At the same time, it rejects textualists' attempts to overrule non-implementation test precedents based on simple disagreement with the original interpretation.

"Enjoyed the exercises and how the trainer seeked examples from the different participants. Was enlightning to see how other departments/organizations deal with media."
"Excellent course to understand the media environment and how to utilize it to our advantage."
"Great and well-informed instructor. Good content, exercises and useful materials. I've taken many professional training workshops and this one was by far the best - in tone, content and delivery."
"The course encouraged dialogue among peole from different agencies. Great to see a variety of perspectives."
"I appreciated the range of discussion - from media trends and today's realities for the media to the components of strategy, planning and crisis preparations."
"I liked the overview of media relations, especially in the context of government. Examples provided were helpful in understanding the content."
Today's media business is dominated by competition for attention and advertising dollars, editorial policies, transformation of the traditional news and reporting cycles and the impact of social media technologies. The media relations function now encompass a wide range of activities, including Ministerial communications, briefings, spokespersons, media kits, web and social media strategies and much more. Is media relations art or science? And if it is both, as most practitioners believe, how can we define and achieve desirable results for our organizations? The business of media is also changing through increased integration with a major impact on how reporters work and what they need from media relations officers. Against this background, developing and integrating media relations strategies into overall communications is an important skill for all communicators. The difficult part is the process of actually translating media strategies into reality, of building professional relationships with members of the media and, perhaps most important, achieving recognition of the organization and its media relations officers as credible sources of information.

Q: Flutter Release APK misbehaving i am developing an ecommerce app which works very fine in debug mode,but surprisingly after generating a signed release apk it does not work well.
SCENARIO.
when i add items to cart for the first time after starting an app ,items are added to cart and cart length is updated on top of cart icon.but after opening cart page(view items in the cart),this starts to misbehave ,items are added into cart but cart length no longer updates unless i do refresh the page,also all buttons inside cart page (delete items from the cart button , add product quantity and reduce product quantity buttons.) does not work until i get out of cart page and come back again.
also, after opening cart page ,other provider functions like filtering subcategories inside a category also does not work until some refresh .
However these does not happen in debug mode ,just only in release mode.
Iam using provider for State management.
what's a possible cause for this problem.i would appreciate any help

A: You are using a "global" provider function which is not called when the state changes.
In your case, the issue is that you are calling the provider function on a non-existing instance of the provider class. This is the reason why the code works in debug mode.

Up to 700,000 people in the United States may be victimized by identity bandits each year, according to the Justice Department (during press release- 2002 Federal Trade Commission Study). Recent reports now talk about 10,000,000 victims. A recent report on identity theft warned that there is likely to be "mass victimize" of consumers within the next two years. The report said consumers should be extra careful to monitor all their financial transactions for unexplained account activity, withdrawals, or fund transfers. Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in America. The average victim spends 175 hours and $1000 repairing the damage. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission says that identity theft is its number one source of consumer complaints - 42 percent of all complaints, in 2001. " Every 79 seconds, a thief steals someone's identity, opens accounts in the victim's name and goes on a buying spree." -CBSnews.com, 1/25/2001.
A study by Gartner Group reveals that 1 in 50 consumers has suffered identity theft. The survey also indicates consumers are so concerned about the problem that they are calling for changes in the way electronic transactions are performed. Identity theft is the most popular form of consumer fraud, in part because it is the most profitable. Thieves stole nearly $100 million from financial institutions last year, or an average of $6,767 per victim. Please take note of the above mentioned statistics!

Williams, Jay G.
Dr. Jay G. Williams is the Walcott-Bartlett Professor of Religious Studies and former Department Chair at Hamilton College in Clinton, New York. He also served as Director of Asian Studies. Dr Williams holds a Ph.D. from Columbia University in New York.
How to Determine the Meaning of a Sacred Text Cases and Methodologies
This work applies many different approaches to the analysis of sacred texts. The articles contained in this collection are influenced by structuralism, phenomenology, the study of self-referentiality and Zen. In many cases, Eastern thought is applied to Western texts, and vice versa.
Political Legacy of Kwame Nkrumah of Ghana
Analyzes in depth the conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and ideological issues as they relate to Kwame Nkrumah's political thought and legacy.
Reassessment of Absolute Skepticism and Religious Faith. Standing Before the Mystery
The book begins by asking what religious knowledge is and whether it is possible. After offering a general discussion of waht "religious" might mean and locating Western confidence in knowing in the influence of Aristotle, the book soon moves to the question, is any knowledge (i.e. sure and certain verity as opposed to debatable opinion) possible? An examination of claims to knowledge by the physical and social sciences, history, ethics, and theology leads to the conclusion that humans can never claim certainty for any of their opinions. Knowledge always exists within a context and that context always bears the marks of human construction and fallibility. We can never be objective about the universe because we are, in fact, part of it. Therefore our view of the world is always partial and misleading. The word science is a misnomer.
THOMAS NAST IN HISTORY:
America's Greatest Nineteenth-Century Cartoonist
America's greatest 19th Century Cartoonist, Thomas Nast is the one chiefly responsible for our Christmas vision of a jolly, red-suited, and plump Santa Claus. But more than a playful artist, Jay G. Williams suggests that Nast is an iconographer, building within pictorial images the presence of the sacred as he popularized political and cultural symbols like Lady Columbia. Copiously illustrated, Williams presents Nash's work in such a way as to bring together politics, religion, and culture in the images themselves. While popularizing these images, Nast also sanctified them. And in the tension between the two realms, Nast's work lives on.

Israeli attacks Jerusalem News Report Ramallah West Bank
Army Abducts Three Palestinians In Jerusalem And Ramallah
Israeli soldiers abducted, on Friday at dawn, three young Palestinian men in Ramallah and Jerusalem, in the occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Prisoner's Society (PPS) has reported that the soldiers conducted violent searches of many homes, and interrogated several Palestinians, before abducting at least three.
It said that the soldiers abducted Ammar Abed-Rabbo al-Khatib, the brother of a political prisoner, identified as Amer al-Khatib, from Hizma village, east of Jerusalem.
It is worth mentioning that Amer is the son of Atef, who is a political prisoner, held by Israel.
Furthermore, the soldiers invaded and searched homes in al-Mughayyir village, northeast of Ramallah, in central West Bank, and abducted two young men, identified as Mohammad Nidal Abu Alia and Amer Atef Hussein Abu Alia.

Finger injury can't stop Thomas Randle at The Bend
Tom Randle jammed his fingers in a car door less than an hour before he went to the grid for the first of three S5000 single-seater sprints at The Bend, but no-one would have known.
The Supercars young gun won the start, held the spot in the first-corner scrum, and then ran mistake free at the front to claim the race from Anton de Pasquale and John Martin.
"I was fine once the adrenaline kicked him," laughs Randle during his first-place celebration.
"It doesn't hurt that bad. Nothing is going to stop me racing.
"It was eyes forward and I got quicker as the race went on."
He set the quickest lap time of 1 minute 41.2560 seconds for an S5000 record and his winning margin was close to 10 seconds over his team-mate this weekend, Pasquale, who admits he has no answer yet to Randle's speed.
"He's the quickest dude," he admits.
"I was able to pull away from the guys behind me but he was pulling away from me. We'll see what we can do for tomorrow. It's a cool circuit and I'm having heaps of fun."
Martin, a single-seater veteran, is having less fun with a car which he eventually used to fend off James Golding for the final podium place.
"It was alright. But we have way too much understeer in the car," says Martin.
"They got away from me and at the end I was just managing the gap to Golding."
The only major incident in the 14-lap race was a spin by Tim Macrow, which dropped him back to eighth, as the thundering field of 10 noisy V8s lapped in a high-speed freight train.
With his first win in the bag, Randle – who swapped race suits between qualifying and the race – is now working on a plan for Sunday's two contest.
"I'm starting seventh in the morning, so that will be something different," he says.
"I don't know yet how they will race around here, but I'm about to find out."

Este es reconocido por su música pop/rock experimental y sus obras multimedia, compuestas por videos musicales, cortometrajes, tres CD-ROMs, diez DVD y mini-series para Internet. El grupo se identifica por el anonimato de sus integrantes, consolidado a partir de la teoría de la oscuridad (la cual establece que el arte puro solo se produce cuando es anónimo).

Historia

1971-80: Inicios y era "clásica"

El origen de The Residents se remonta (aproximadamente) a 1966 en Shreveport, Luisiana, donde los cuatro o cinco miembros se conocieron en la escuela.

Para 1969 se habían mudado a San Mateo, California. Mientras intentaban ganarse la vida, experimentaban con cintas, fotografía y cualquier forma de arte que llegue a ellos. En esta época se les unen el guitarrista inglés Phil Lithman y el misterioso compositor de Baviera, N. Senada. Ambos serían grandes influencias para el grupo.

Lithman (apodado "Snakefinger") siguió colaborando con ellos hasta su muerte en 1987, mientras N. Senada (de quien se duda de su existencia) les enseñó sus dos teorías: la de la oscuridad y la de organización fonética (según la cual la música puede "construirse" a partir de los sonidos), ésta se nota en el estilo minimalista que tendrían para componer. Se rumorea también que N Senada podría ser Captain Beefheart o Harry Patch.

Los primeros demos datan de 1971: The Warner Bros Album y Baby Sex. Ambos fueron eliminados de la discografía oficial, porque la banda aún no tenía nombre, así como por su carácter amateur.

En 1972 fundan su propia discográfica Ralph, con la que editan su primer sencillo "Santa Dog". Mientras grababan su primer LP, empiezan a filmar la película Vileness Fats. El proyecto finalmente fue abandonado en 1976 por problemas técnicos y económicos.

Entre 1973 y 1980 graban sus primeros siete discos, considerados por muchos fanes la mejor época de The Residents. Las presentaciones en vivo eran todavía muy pocas, siendo un proyecto puramente de estudio.

En 1976 se funda The Cryptic Corporation, el equipo de management del grupo, por John Kennedy, Jay Clem (1947-), Homer Flynn (1945-) y Hardy W. Fox (1945-2018), todos negaron ser integrantes. Flynn y Fox dieron entrevistas para los medios a nombre de The Residents.

1981-presente: Giras y multimedia

En 1981 sale Mark of the Mole como primera parte de una trilogía conceptual. Entre ese año y 1982 salen de gira, la primera de la banda. El tour fue un desastre comercial que casi disuelve al grupo e hizo abandonar a Kennedy y Clem del proyecto. La trilogía quedó inconclusa, con sólo la parte uno, dos (The Tunes of Two Cities, 1982) y la cuatro (The Big Bubble, 1985).

Así empieza una época de crisis, menos productiva. En 1983 lanzan Title in Limbo, colaboración con Renaldo and the Loaf grabada dos años antes. La falta de ideas nuevas se refleja en George & James (1984), Stars & Hank Forever (1986) y The King & Eye (1989). Estos LP consisten de material ajeno (de George Gershwin, James Brown, John Philip Sousa, Hank Williams y Elvis Presley) como parte de la saga "American Composers Series", que terminó siendo abandonada.

Otros álbumes de la época son las bandas sonoras Whatever Happened to Vileness Fats? (1984) y Census Taker (1985), así como el conceptual God in Three Persons (1988).

En 1990 publican Freak Show en CD y CD-ROM, con el que los Residents comienzan su interés en la emergente tecnología de computación. En 1998 volvieron a llamar la atención de la crítica con Wormwood, obra conceptual con historias alternativas de la Biblia.

Sus discos más destacados en los últimos años son Demons Dance Alone (2002, influenciado por los hechos del 9-11) y Animal Lover (2005, historias desde el punto de vista de animales). Aprovechando la tecnología actual, crearon miniseries en su sitio oficial y mini-álbumes para descarga mp3. También en los últimos años el cantante del grupo se dio a conocer como Randy Rose, quien en realidad es Homer Flynn (su voz es reconocible desde Not Available de 1974).

En 2012, celebrando el aniversario 40 del primer sencillo, publicaron el Ultimate Box Set. Se trata de un refrigerador con las obras completas de The Residents, por 100 000 dólares.

The Explore the Bible lesson for Feb. 24 focuses on Genesis 45:1-15.
Things are not always what they seem, especially when the object is camouflaged. Various camouflaged illustrations of the animal kingdom are displayed in classrooms to teach students about survival techniques. Predators and prey blend in the snow or among tall grass and flowers, tree trunks and tree limbs, or rocks and mountains to survive. Predators will use camouflage to sneak up on the prey, and prey will use camouflage for protection from the predator.
Not only does the animal kingdom use camouflage to survive, some believers are guilty of camouflaging their Christian walk. Other times, the believers hide their Christian identity because of fear or persecution. It may seem as though believers have no hope and no faith in these dark times, and they have gone into hiding. Whatever the circumstance, believers need to come out of hiding, stand up and be the people God has called them to be.
Because of the severe famine, Jacob decided to send his sons to Egypt to buy grain. However, Benjamin remained because of fear that harm would come upon him (Genesis 42:1-5). Upon arriving in Egypt, Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him. When the brothers bowed down to the ground before him, he remembered his dream (Genesis 42:8,9) and the dream finally comes to reality (Genesis 37:5-11).
During the first encounter, Joseph accused his brothers of being spies, but the brothers argued they only came to buy food. For their freedom, Joseph requested Benjamin to be brought to Egypt. Joseph remained solid in his accusation and ordered them to prison (Genesis 42:10-17). After three days in prison, Joseph released his brothers and ordered them to return to Canaan, except for Simeon. In order to return, Benjamin would have to come back with them.
During the second encounter, the brothers brought Benjamin with them. Not realizing Joseph's identity, they were invited to a meal in his house. As they bowed down before him, the second dream became a reality (Genesis 43:26). After the meal, Joseph released all of the brothers to return to their land. Deceptively and intentionally, he had the steward place his silver cup in Benjamin's sack. Accusing them of stealing, Judah pleads the case of their innocence. Judah admits the betrayal and selling of Joseph into slavery (Genesis 44:25-32). Because of the agony of facing his father's tears again, Judah begs Joseph to allow him to remain in the place of Benjamin. (Genesis 44:33,34). Finally, Joseph no longer could keep the secret from his brothers. With a loud cry, he revealed his identity (Genesis 45:1-4).
One may find it difficult to reconcile, especially when the other person is guilty of the offense. The Scripture tells us: "Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you" (Colossians 3:13). Through difficulties and unfair circumstances, God is present to bring us to forgiveness and reconciliation.
Joseph was shown a glimpse of God's purpose for his life to save lives and preserve a remnant on the earth (Genesis 45:7). What a pure and humble attitude Joseph displayed when he forgave his brothers unconditionally. Because of his actions and attitude, the terrified brothers were assured of their safety and protection.
Believers must think critically and spiritually when others wrong them. When we understand the plan and purposes of God for his people, we are more able to bear the pain and become better representatives for Christ to a lost and dying world.
This remarkable reunion sets in motion the upcoming journey of Jacob and all his family and possessions. Joseph directs his brothers to tell their father to come quickly to Egypt. Current circumstances of the famine, which will last about five more years, is reason enough for Jacob to leave the land of Canaan, as well as to fulfill the purpose of God.
It has been said that time erases all pain. People may wish they had the power to go back and erase the pain from the past or erase the pain they may have caused others. Instead, the reality is that we cannot go back and change what has occurred in the past; however, we can practice love and forgiveness.
How can we balance pain and love at the same time?
The reversal of the jealousy and cruel acts of the brothers against Joseph are established through the weeping, embracing, and conversations among them. Joseph could have chosen to place his brothers in prison because of the injustices brought upon him. However, he chose to listen to God and begin the process of restoration.
Forgiveness is not based on others' actions, but on attitudes and openness. Our attitude will determine whether we will hold on to unforgiveness or allow God to lead us to forgive others. Believers should not repay evil for evil and must learn to live in peace with everyone (Romans 12:17-18). God has special ways to bring his people to lands of plenty, protection and peace.

is one of the 18 wards of the city of Yokohama in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. As of 2010, the ward had an estimated population of 209,565 and a density of 6,760 persons per km². The total area was . The ward symbol, established 1987, expresses the image of sea, waves, and a sea gull.

History
The area around present-day Kanazawa Ward has been inhabited for thousands of years. Archaeologists have found stone tools from the Japanese Paleolithic period and ceramic shards from the Jōmon period at numerous locations in the area. Under the Nara period Ritsuryō system, it became part of Kuraki District in Musashi Province. By the Kamakura period it was part of a shōen controlled by the Hōjō clan, who established a major seaport for the Kamakura shogunate at Mutsuura, and a noted library and educational center at Kanazawa Bunko.

During the Edo period, much of the area was part of the tenryō territory in Musashi Province controlled directly by the Tokugawa shogunate, but administered through various hatamoto. In 1726, a large portion of the present ward came under the control of the newly established Mutsuura Domain ruled by the Yonekura clan.  The area consisted of small farming and fishing villages. During the Bakumatsu period, the area offshore Kanazawa was an anchorage for the American black ships under command of Commodore Matthew C. Perry in 1853 and 1854. After the signing of the Treaty of Amity and Commerce in 1858, it was one of the first areas in Japan opened to foreign trade. In 1871, with the abolition of the han system following the Meiji Restoration, the area became part of Kuraki District in the new Kanagawa Prefecture. In 1887, Itō Hirobumi and a group of political scholars completed the final drafts of the Meiji Constitution while secluded in an inn in Kanazawa.  In the cadastral reform of April 1, 1889, the area was divided into numerous villages. The area was connected by rail to Yokohama with the opening of the Shōnan Electric Railway (the predecessor of the modern Keihin Electric Express Railway in 1930. In October 1936, Kuraki District was abolished, and the area was absorbed into Yokohama City, becoming part of Isogo Ward.  A large railway carriage factory was established in Kanazawa Ward in 1946 by the Tokyu Corporation on the site of a former Imperial Japanese Navy Technical Center. Kanazawa Ward gained its independence from Isogo Ward in May 1948.

God doesn't see who we are, He sees who we are in Christ. He sees our future, and therefore speaks to us according to our caliber.
The quality of someone's character or the level of someone's ability; quality, merit, distinction, stature, excellence, preeminence.
Many times we speak negatively over the hard times we encounter in life, but I learned long ago to ask God for purpose. And he would always say : "this is prep time.". Time and time again I am reminded that I am not yet, the person that God sees when He looks at me. We walk and talk as if we have no faith, and have really serious tendencies to call complaining and negotiating, prayer. If you find yourself venting to God, you are not exactly praying; you are venting. If you do not wait on God, worship Him and sit still in His presence.. in that moment… in that silence.. you aren't conversing with God, you are simply talking. If we have a friend, but you are the only one who listens, then when you are ready to speak they have to go: in sorry, but that relationship is not authentic. Such is our relationship with God, we have a give and take. We give and receive, we praise and we offer sacrifice of praise, while God gives us His power and presence. What's this power and presence for? What's anointing anyway? Is it for something?
God's anointing is for us to be a fascet of God's unique expression here on earth. God's anointing is the unction to function. God does not only give us His Holy Spirit to cast out demons, prophecy and heal the sick: He provides everything we need to be who He designed us to be. If you are a doctor, God gives you the unction to function as an excellent and loving doctor. If you are an evangelist, He gives you the unction to function in your calling. We do not always think of Holy Spirit as a person, and others do not think of Him as power. We cannot limit God, but we should definitely embrace His many facets.
We are a direct expression of God here on earth, although we may not be as refined as He wants us to be. And this is when we need, desperately need, Holy spirit's help. We need His unction to function!
God's heart is for us to become more and more like Jesus was here on earth, and who He is in heaven. The Bible says that we are seated in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. We do not always act as if we were in heaven. We barely even walk by faith, we tend to walk by sight. And then eventually if we catch our error, we change back into the spirit and refocus our faith lenses. Jesus was meek and humble, He was compassionate and zealous for the house of God, He was a man of prayer and authority, and finally he was given to love, servanthood and obedience.
Since we are to be transformed into God's likeness, we are to evaluate our thought patterns and decide to guide them in the correct direction: the word of God. We are to deny our natural nature in being led by our flesh (sight, touch, smell, hearing and taste) and our soul (our heart, mind and will), and in turn be led by God's Holy Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, meekness, faith and self control).
Dear God, we need you we ask for your love and your fellowship. Wake us up in the midnight hours that we may know you more and more. That we may be led of you, in all things, and may we always invite into all of our situations. May you arrest and cast out all spirits of despair, hopelessness, depression and bitterness from all of our lives! May we be restored to love you, as our first love. help us to understand your and receive your love. In Jesus' name, Amen.
