So I was going to try and get the pen working this session as being the last major component But I think on the whole that getting the screen contrast fixed is higher priority If you can't see what's happening on the screen, there's no point even trying So as you can tell by this rather grainy thumbnail I have taken the back off the machine and hooked up the logic analyzer to the various LCD control pins I have managed to trace them to a chip on the LCD board that is underneath this But I haven't been able to figure out what chip it is yet and therefore what the data sheet is So until then I don't know the command set so rather than try to figure it out from Decompiling the Where did I put it here we go Decompiling the palm os rom what I'm going to try instead is Running the palm os rom and changing the contrast setting and seeing what happens with the Controller chip so we should be able to snoop on the conversation between palm os and the controller So this is hopefully what it's doing. It is running palm os right now If I peer under here It's not to be running palm os the preset button. Oh Yeah, for some reason it won't reset if the logic analyzers plugged in so let's try that Go and now we have the palm Logo on the screen so if I plug that in and hit the run button We see that nothing is happening because pretty obviously it's not talking to the device however If I find the contrast buttons Okay, sorry about that that turned out to be more complicated And I thought and I managed to avoid recording it for some reason So it turns out that if you plug the logic analyzer in and then I try to adjust the contrast Which I shall do The screen turns off however, I suspect what's happening is there a pull-up or pull-down resistors which are Less strong than the ones in the logic analyzer So the logic analyzer is disturbing the voltage signals and everything is going haywire Now we do however get a set of commands. This should be it changing the contrast and We see a pulse train You've got a start and stop control bits and our clock bits But what we don't see is Any variation in the signal like this is always the same so I wonder if This is because I have wired up one of the pins incorrectly Or it's just not being picked up So that's peculiar so I'm going to pause it and Take this thing back to the workbench and double-check the wiring. I think but of course If it's wired up correctly Then the logic analyzer is pulling these the data signal low which means that What to be honest high which means that nothing will show up here and Zeroes or logic ones or whatever are showing up on the Controller device and that's why the screen is being turned off So I can't actually analyze this Using this logic analyzer That's fabulous Yeah, whoopee Okay, so we can't control the screen but if I were to Hook up the analyzer again Throw the switch so that it boots into bootstrap mode and And then run my code We should be able to compare what we're getting to see whether I'm actually doing this properly Okay, so If I get ready to execute I hit the run button I press return we get a signal and what do we see so this is Pretty much the same pattern There's a month. I've got I'm sending two bytes next to each other with a very short delay that's possibly wrong We do see in the init code this is the init byte it should be sending Hex seven zero and this is the actual contrast byte We should be able to see this happening here However, there should be a pause between the two So if I go over to here Position of the windows So in display in it here. It's doing the thing Here it's writing out to the seven zero byte here we send the termination bit and Then there's a couple of delay traps. This one is for e2o Which is 20,000 20 milliseconds So that's worth doing However, I would still like to see the data bytes being produced I think I'm not going to get anything with the logic analyzer So I'm going to have to go offline and hook this up to my actual scope Which would hopefully do a better job of capturing the signals Unfortunately, I can't do that live. So I'll just have to take screenshots instead. So Be back then Well, I did manage to get a oscilloscope trace which you should be able to see on the screen now and this is exactly what I would expect from Parmos sending a seven zero hex byte All clock and data signals are exactly the way I expect the signals are Active high, etc. etc. So I Think I'm doing the right thing here However, while I was getting this capture the machine stopped booting into parmos. It just resets continually So I think some of its internal storage that does have a battery here is now corrupt so I'll just try executing with that delay in and see what comes out So luckily emutos still runs on it and it is indeed still the very dark screen So I Am very puzzled It's a shame. I didn't get a trace of parmos changing the Contrast itself you can see that the pins I sold it on having fact come off because everything is just far too small and Having to work on the thing while it's upside down isn't great for pressing keys the other thing I could do is to solder some actual wires on and route them out through the Quote debug port unquote. I Do also have a built-in command for adjusting the contrast it just sends a byte to this so Let's see if I can get the thing the right way up. Shall I? I'll try sending various bytes and nothing's happened So I I'm wondering if I I know I've double-checked this lots and lots of times But have I actually am I actually not sending the byte correctly? Well, now we know what a decent signal supposed to look like these off Gaps might be a bit short But this is their code and I am copying it almost exactly Anyway, so Set data to zero command to one wait so of the three bits we've got Four oh and pf data Which is the data We've got four oh and pk data which I believe to be the command bit this one No, sorry, that's the clock bit That's d2 in this trace This is command She's here command to zero clock to zero right we are here we now do the Data itself we set the bit Well, we set or clear the bit Then we Then we clock Shift right by one and go again. Okay. Now. What's this code doing pf data that is One oh one one that is Unsetting that's doing this that's doing this Then we do lots of this Then we undo that bit Then we undo that bit. Okay. That's is the same code. All right d1 becomes our Oh heaven's sake Okay, I know what's going on this and is backwards so This is I'm used to instruction sets where the destination is the first register but on this destination is the last register So what this is doing is adding the two together and instead of sticking the result in d1 where it will be ignored it puts it in d0 which is our data and It all goes pear shaped Okay Get rid of that It means we discard all bits, but the first that's why we can turn it on or off, but no more than that Okay, here it goes. In fact, I had made an additional mistake there In that just changing this to an and was with the destination d1 was in fact clobbering the bit number as well so I just changed this to be a B test and a bit index and a subq and a bg and it all works fine And we can change the contrast to our heart's content and appears to the hundred is a decent value and With luck, this is showing up on the screen in a reasonable fashion Who knows? Okay, so I'll just Check this in We do at least now know what the various I will just make sure that comment is up to date Clock is 40 pk data So pk 40 lc contrast clock This is Start stop bit This is data bit. Okay so I am Wondering whether to call this short now. Oh, yes, we this is our new Contrast code which got hacked into the CLI which we don't want to keep there and So I think we want to check in BIOS only so I think Well, we could get started in the pen but That is going to be a little bit complex turns out the pen is also connected to the second SPI device and Not only that but the battery controller is connected to the second SPI device and I found quite a lot of code Referring to SPI contour to in here They all use different ship selects and different settings so This is the scan this is the code that talks to the keyboard Can we get back to here? Kidra has a few UI bugs so this is the code that talks to the battery controller and I'm a little bit Confused by it because it does not appear to be setting the chip select before it sends the data instead it Well, I assume that this line here is Doing is adjusting the chip select and this happens after it triggers the The read-write transaction But this does definitely look like a chip select so you can see it turning it back off here by raising it Anyway, that is a value for PG data. Have I put that in? Yes, I have The pen Where'd I put it? Also, what's interesting is it all seems to be copies of the same code Don't think that's it. I did find the pen code This is the keyboard controller code The pen device is hooked up by its own Let me start that again the pen touch screen controller is can is also connected where SPI I did find the Chip and the date sheets, which is a big Improvement So it could be this I Don't know what BB get XY is but this is very similar code to the Keyboard controller. Let me just They come at 8249 not Okay So this is calling this code Yeah, this is almost identical to the Battery controller code. So in fact we can look at this and see FB of PG data is also That same bit Maybe this is not the Pen controller. What's this function called? Here we go pen get raw pen So I think this is the one we want See there is a awful lot of this So what's I wrong about? That thing being the battery Where's this called from so this is called from Talk to battery controller, which I thought was doing battery controller things This is being called from Hardware wake and prove filtered burr brown read This is doing. Yeah, this is called from lots of battery related things So you can see that this is clearing 101 one that is clearing the bit with value for that's bit to Here it is setting it. This is doing ascend and receive to the Device is also twiddling This thing in pin Port E See I thought this was the battery So get raw pen here is calling proof BB get XY which Twiddles port F and it calls this Yes, and this touches port G so I Think now I come to think of it That this is not to do with the battery or the pen this is Something else related to talking to the Hang on I put that in the Now that's port G Yeah, I think I mean I think I mean writing these things in the wrong place so I think this has got something to do with the the SPI interface to Both the pen and the battery Chips this is probably routed to both things which means that the pen chip select is most likely this So that's port F. So this could be pen chip select So now if I go to talk to battery battery so battery send receive is So let's call this battery and pen send receive You see this is called from there However, if you go finding it's definitely the battery Proof battery command alkaline detect read that calls this thing. It's called get raw pen Well, maybe the path. Maybe the battery code is talking to the touchscreen. I don't know why it would want to but What's this that is Yet another copy of lmol. What's this that's next to it? does generic stuff with the battery so hardware charger on just sets a clears a bit even and so that is 111 xbf 101 one that is bit six of J low charger enable turns the charger off Right this should be talking to the battery controller. I mean, I don't think there's any other way you can do it. What's this? this Doesn't have a name. Where does this come from? Is this actually a child subroutine of? Yes, it is. This is not a function. I put this in the wrong place. I should be able to Pressing delete I delete this. Yeah, there we go So down here. This should be the end of the function. I remember going through this previously It's gigantic is here. Okay, and it's not decompiling because a 0 a 5 9 Not you see this is calling a Generic function that's doing something to either the pen or the battery these system calls are annoying because gidra doesn't know how to turn them into Branches subroutine calls So it ruins the ability to generate decent code as far as gidra is concerned It just pushes some stuff onto the stack does a trap with no parameters and then pop stuff back off the stack again So it just tends to just kind of vanish in the Decompiled version Okay Hardware battery master read all of this So what port is it touching? Well, this pins seems interesting D is 1 1 0 1 so that's this one hardware charge off Yeah, that just sets that bit This is doing something with port D Looking at bits seven of port D See, this is not initialized as a GPIO So it's an interrupt line So I don't know what reading data here does I Understanding the battery charger is not actually the priority here what I want to do is to try and figure out which is the Chip select line for the battery So that I can identify what the chip select line is for the pen Then we should be able to just talk to the pen controller. So this It's just definitely talking to the pen Like this is not my name this name came from the Where did that name come from? Is that in the wrong place? Do I have two of these in me? Yes, I do So this is the one at 9a and this is the other one. So this is Not the one I want this is the pen code Right So what's this doing? It's IPR interrupt pending register this Why is this checking for a? pen Checking for an interrupt. So it's checking for this bit RTC Yeah, real-time clock Level four interrupt event from the real-time clock is pending. I why is the pen code touching that? exit if There is no real-time clock bit pending That makes no sense Well, this is not touching any bits any ports other than IPR that I can see so it's going straight into here. This is Setting what I think to be the pen chip select and then it's calling this that is Reading and writing the pen and this takes a Single parameter on the stack if I remember correctly Here you see it's pushing a word onto the stack. So this is turning interrupts off This is calling this to do the work Right. This is again a separate copy of the thing. I've already been through for the For the battery This looks like it's generated by a complete different compiler the code style is quite different We don't have the symbol names after each subroutine So what it's doing is it's putting The addresses of the SPI-2 device into a zero and a one so This is Byte star that's a register in a zero Byte star To and I believe it's inlined it in this code here is a bite star This is a bite star. No, it's not these are Word stars so here you can see it doing stuff to the pen We set up the SPI for a transaction we Clear this bit whatever it does We wait for the transaction to complete apparently twice. Oh Yes, there's a third parameter This one which is on the stack and this is Stack plus Word so it's always two bytes long So wait for bit seven waits for the transaction to complete Then it Right, that's not wait for bit seven. This is wait for bit seven and this is a word star this is a So what this is doing if this bit is Set rather if it's not set Send it out and wait for transaction to complete otherwise Do more complicated things. That's a delay Yeah that's complex and I don't really follow what's going on, but it's not called wait for bit seven this is Do pen thing so that do pen thing is calling wait for bit seven Read write pen is This is a maze of code But you can see that this is not doing any chip select stuff but this is Here So I think that the basics of it is This is the pen chip select Then it Uses the SPI interface to talk to the pen Then it Unders the SPI interface so I think that's basically all we need to talk to it now what we don't have is Any information about how this chip works. I mean we've got the datasheet, but it's Complicated to say the least so Actually getting anything out of it is going to be exciting So as far as I can tell You send it a command byte You send it a command byte and then you read back in number of bits saying Telling it which telling it the value of the channel you asked for and I assume that there are multiple channels per Four x and y I know it can run in more than one mode and I don't know how this is Hooked together Wow Okay So we've got read write pen here Which I believe takes a single parameter, which is probably the opcode to send to the Device So that's being pushed onto the stack therefore this parameter is Going to be at four Param one. Yeah, so let's call this opcode however, yes, this is the Extra parameter. I don't think this parameter is set up correctly Yeah, he is wrong. They should start at four This is This is due to a compiler having abstracted something out So wait for a do-pen thing here is Referring to values in its call as stack frame which is Not complicated at all so Okay, so if we tell this that there's a dummy value Let's go here. It's a D word It's a stack for so this is a Dummy value at eight nine a BC D e doesn't make any sense see D okay, there's these does need to be Another one so this is going to be at C size of two CD in the next one is a e so this code But that's not working at all Okay, anyway This value here. I believe to be the Yeah, what is that doing? That's a word at address at offset four And it is being referred to Okay, I can't actually tell what's happening there. I Think the thing to do is to try poking the Pen controller and see what happens now this is More fraught than you might think because of course we've got this code in the For doing the keyboard stuff Which is called ST send receive from an interrupt handler So we're going to have to make sure the interrupt to turned off around our Talking to the pen to the touch screen controller in order to make sure that the interrupt doesn't come along and Reprogram SPI to why we're working on it. So this is done by Reading SR and then putting the value back again and I'm sure that The BIOS has got code for doing this. Here we go. All right So that's word Set SR So this is going to send And receive a byte However, it's still set up to send it to the ST micro controller. So we think that our pen Chip select is on f1. So let's follow up the stack chain Do pen things called from read write pen. I'm going to want to come back here BB XY Here we Okay, so this is PFP Ewan Is the pull-up register or the pull-down register that is X FD 1101 that's pin to this one here It is clearing it so it disables the pull up resistor it then Raises the chip select line Soon is a chip select line Okay, and now we go into here the appropriate configuration for the pet the pen device is 2247 and we also want to Do this thing with PG Now let's take a look at that touchscreen controller See what things might be wired up to where's the pin out here, so Serial data Input chip select is low, but we've raised this whatever it is. Oh Wait a minute. This hasn't set the data. This has just set the Select line oring it turns it into a GPIO. What is that? bit nothing particularly interesting Wait a minute IRQ 5 That's a pen interrupt. That's what that is so what this is doing is By setting this to a GPIO because of course this thing we think of as the here is Here we stop it being an interrupt and therefore We know that no pen interrupts can be showing up this means that if the Pen controller tries to get our attention By Asserting pin 11 pen IRQ while we're talking to the The controller then bad things don't happen But we still don't have Chip select unless it's this This is the only thing I can think of for it to be okay, well Let's stash this in here Because we're not going to care about interrupts just yet so in our pen send receive Wait PE that's the Look at this one So I think that this is the one we particularly care about So B is 101 one and that's on port G so One oh one one pen and battery maybe therefore BG data and equals not pen chip select Should lower this pin chip select on the Touch screen controller and we can now send it commands right now the bottom bit the bottom nibble of the SPI con to is the number of bits to transfer minus one So clearly this is an 8-bit command and this is a 7-bit command So if we look at this our commands are all this says 8 bits wide and They always start with a set bit and the response we get back is 8 to 12 Bit depending on whether we're in high or low resolution mode So what is do pen thing being called with? Oh, yeah, what does this mean if command? 1 0 well that's this bit here But then this code is actually doing all kinds of weird stuff with the com with the command byte So it looks like if a 0 here is not set then we only send 7 bits. It's kind of weird Anyway, let's follow the stack chain up so that we're sending two commands which is 9 0 and D 8 and This is passing in two parameters. I think read write pen takes a Oh, no, no read write pen returns a 8-bit value Okay, so 9 0 is Set 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 No, it's not Set 0 0 1 0 0 0 D 8 is 1 1 0 1 1 0 0 0 the single-ended differential reference select bit Is the one that depends on the hardware and it looks like that's always 0 Okay, well, so that's the wrong code We do want to say data equals SPI data 2 So I believe We need to initialize these F3 1 and the other one was PFPU and 4 to a Okay, so that builds So I think that we may have enough here to actually get something out of the pen controller so let's just do this and Yeah, we do have the serial console enabled So I have no idea what we're going to get out of this, okay, so let's execute and Nothing don't think that's actually told it to start sending and receiving to be honest as it's hung here Read write pen Do pen thing 2 2 4 7 1 0 That's sys clock by 8 Not quite slow as it can go 2 1 0 so it's on but not exchanging for 0 1 0 0 So interrupt request enabled That I've been here before the SD code right that actually tells it to enable interrupts if 47 Well 7 is the bit count so 4 is 0 0 1 0 IRQ EN. I don't think that makes an awful lot of sense. I don't know why we would want be wanting to generate SPI interrupts at this point So that's actually not told it to do anything, but we have Written a value to the FIFO which is a zero Right, so then get to do pen thing and this is where we actually Tell it to do stuff So in this case, it's a 2 3 4 7 so 2 is the same data rate 3 is enable and exchange 4 is as here and 7 is the bit count So this will be 247 2347 Right, so my earlier worries about the The chipset line being inserted before a transfer happens are void because it was in fact not starting a transfer Okay, let's try this Okay, so run it We get a lot of the same bite Now I did go look for Linux drivers for doing this and there is one And it's huge Like really huge 1500 lines and it appears to use lots of stuff involving You know voltages and resistances so This could be tough But we are still not talking to the The chip so what we receive is a Here's to be a 1 0 Although now we come to think of it. I think I'm doing this wrong again. So we clock out our command But the response hasn't come in yet so So what's this doing 2 2 4 0? 2 2 is Enable no exchange for but the bit count of 0 is One bit and I need to change the type of this how you can't use volatile Yeah, right because it the de-compliation is missed bits Because it assumes if you write twice in succession to one of these pointers then nothing happens so and this is This is an incorrect de-compliation. I think so that this writes zero to the To SPI data It's right to zero to the transmit buffer Then this doesn't do anything But then we do this this as a send and receive of a single bit then we fiddle with this bit Which I thought was the battery and then we do a send and receive of 16 bits So I think what that's doing is trying to read all Possible bits of the response Of which there could be up to 12 and Then it says zero fills until you run out of clocks and then for the result SPI data to left shift by three bits Okay, so Let's change this code so pen send and receive we are sending a Bite and we are reading back a word so let's try That do we need to wait There's a wait here. It's an 8249. It is waiting a little The actual amount being waited appears to be coming from This structure here, whatever it is It's loading the value at this register into the register that used to contain SPI content to The Decomplation has alighted all of that because the value has been sent to a trap and It doesn't know how to decompile those so let's put a 1000 in Actually, it looks like it can happen more or less immediately. Ah We have to wait for the busy bit to reset, but I don't know what the busy bit is and it doesn't seem to be Any code here for doing stuff with the busy bit. I don't see any loops Okay, let's just try that. I'll try it like that then. Okay, and let's run it Zero great Also, that needs to be Four so either any data is in the top two bits or this isn't working so this code does seem to be Setting SPI content to a different value. So maybe we need to do that Also, that should be an F not a zero so two to four F So that was actually trying to read one bite. Oh one bit Okay, now what do we get? Well, it looks like a number. Oh That does indeed look like a number as my stylus Okay, down here in the corner. It's falling off the Yeah, that right down the bottom it falls off the the touch screen the number goes like that Now I expect there to be three channels For X Y and Z So let's do Well, nine zero is clearly Channel X so where do I put the touchscreen data sheets? so zero zero zero no that zero zero one is X Driver one so the next one we want is Well, well the other command this was setting was D8 Here so I'm going to guess that one is why but D8 is D is One one oh one one one one oh one. Yeah, okay. So that is the other The other channel this one I Think this touchscreen isn't is far is connected sideways to be honest. So let's just do 90 The eight is for eight bit mode. So let's just go for that's used 12 bits throughout And we will measure Z as well. So that's going to be F zero like so Okay, so let's see what this does write numbers so X is moving Why yep, you've got X and Y Z appears to not be connected to anything I still don't know how to how to detect Whether the pen is pressed or not other than through the interrupt. It's possible. That's all we need That is a pen interrupt shows up and we fetch the X and Y and do the conversion and post the result to the input system. So this is connected to Oh, I gave it an invalid channel so Z is actually 101. Oh, which is a And in fact, let's do the fourth one as well just which is one one one oh or E Okay, let's execute this Right numbers Right Z and Q are not doing anything. It would be nice if we could detect Pen up pen down from this Maybe we can So if the if the pen interrupt is configured to be a GPIO then we can actually see the value PF data is 42d 429 now even if this works There are still things to do which is to Convert the values we're getting into a nice X Y And send it to the Atari operating system and this seems to happen via I keyboard so what we're actually going to be doing is pushing a sequence of bytes to Keyboard Vec here Actually converting the touchscreen resistance voltage things into X Y is actually quite complicated involves calibrating the screen This is why a resistive touch screens always start up with you know touch these targets to calibrate the screen So we may need to write a program to do that We could use a Atari TOS development kit and actually produce a program which we run However I'd kind of like to bake it into the ROM so that you don't need to deploy more moving parts Hmm Anyway, let's execute this and see what we get right BB Presto That works nicely Right, we now have a successful interface to the touchscreen We do need to do all the front end of it But I need to go figure out how to do that so I Am going to leave it here The other thing we can do is hook it up to an interrupt line which looks reasonably straightforward for this It is IRQ 5 Yeah, you can see that X has got the lowest value down on the right-hand side of the screen and the highest value up on the left Well, why does appear to be roughly the right way around? I? Don't really like that dead zone of the At the bottom and I also don't know the appropriate way to map these because I bet it ain't linear Yes good Well, that was much less horrifying. I thought it was going to be We may be spamming random bytes the battery charger so that if we put a battery in it, it will explode now, of course this direction is Only 160 pixels so that we don't need 12-bit resolution Which is why the? the palm osc code was using a D8 here because that sets the touchscreen controller to 8-bit resolution which is faster So we might as well do that as well But I think we're going to leave that until next time that is a decent piece of work And I think it is actually almost done at least for the first stage We just now need to hook up some UI things awesome Okay, then I hope you enjoyed this video Please let me know what you think in the comments


Okay, right? Okay, so we're looking at prophecy and we're also looking at, you know, the process of perceiving, right?  It's only for that purpose, right? But we know that, you know, just to, for us to know and understand that God speaks, that God communicates, right? And he does in amazing ways.   Unless, you know, when people share a word, then you say, okay, this is what God has spoken. But then if there's anything else, any other, like, typically everyday information, then we sometimes, you know, our rational mind begins to work and, you know, that way and say, how can, how can that happen? And how can God direct you to choose what color, you know, to what color outfit to wear, et cetera. The fact is that God, God does speak, God is, you know, so involved in our lives. Okay, so the process of proceeding, the third one is to, third step rather is to prophesy. Okay, so we, maybe it's for someone else, we share it, maybe. Okay, so he has a, this was Priya saying again, I got reminded of Isaiah 43 about the river. Okay, yeah, maybe there's something to it, Priya, so you can just pray through, maybe it's for you, maybe it's for someone else, you can, you know, just pray, pray through that. Wow, okay. Right, so, so we can, you know, you can speak it out, you can share that.  So, but understand that God is a God who communicates and sometimes even his, you know, even his reassuring, comforting presence and silence is, is a message by itself, right. So, maybe you just sense the presence of God, but no, nothing more than that, nothing more beyond that. Now, now that's, that's a message itself, right, he's just communicating that he's there, he's communicating that he's with you, right. Okay, right, okay. So, then people do have this thing, you know, like, sorry, question, you know, why does God do this? You know, why can't he just speak like how you are speaking to me and how I'm speaking to you? Why can't he just speak? Well, the truth is that he does that, he does speak, right. He chooses to speak that way in audible, in an audible manner and you choose to do that and maybe some of you have, you know, heard the voice of God in that sense, in that manner. So, he chose to do that, but we see in scripture that God chooses to speak in all these other ways as well, right. Now, you know, why symbolic things, you know, why in a dream or a dream I can understand, right. It's you have no control over it and, you know, you're asleep and you're just receiving information, right. You can't choose not to dream or you can't choose not to receive that whatever message God is putting in your heart. So, it's, you know, God chooses to do that. But why, you know, why something symbolic, why something so abstract, right. The fact is that I chose this, this is my opinion. The fact is that you get to engage with God again, right. Well, you get to go and ask him again. We get to spend more time with him and God wants that, okay. God loves that.  What is it and in that process, everything is getting changed within us. You know, our desires are maybe selfish ambitions, selfish desires, everything is just falling by the wayside. There is, there is a changing, there is a molding, that there is a shaping that is happening in our own lives, you know, we're becoming more and more yielded to God and more and more, how should I say it, more and more wanting to perform, wanting to perform his will or wanting to carry out his will, right. And so that, that happens as well, you know, as we spend time with God, we are being changed to be more like him, right, to be from glory to glory. Like Second Corinthians 318 says that by the Spirit of God, you know, as we take a glimpse of his glory, we are being changed from glory to glory. So that happens as well. So, so I just strongly, you know, feel that God wants us to engage. So these things come and also, you know, that there's a lot of information that God can just, you know, download into our hearts with just a picture. Okay. I'm sure you know that saying a picture is worth a thousand words, a visual, it speaks a thousand and it's easy to remember, recall, so some, you know, pictures. So, yeah, those are some, you know, reasons why God chooses to speak in these ways and he's done it through the years. He's done it, you know, through these centuries and he continues to do that to us as well, right. Okay. Let's just get into the process of, you know, validating what we are receiving. Okay. Now we're just going into the thing of discerning, validating. Okay. First check, again, you know, you've seen this before, is to see, does it align? Is it in line with the word of God, with a different word, right? Because that's our foundation, that's our reference point. And since we know that God is the author, he's, you know, scriptures are God breathed or inspired by him. So we can always check because what he has written will not contradict the way he is leading or not contradict his will and desire. His will, his desire, his word are the same, right. The character and the nature of God does not contradict the word of God or the will of God, right. So it's one and the same. So 1 John 5, 7 says, there are three that bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit and these three are one. So a prophecy or, you know, something that is instructional, directional will not, if it is something that is against the word of God or it is the instruction comes to act in a way that is contrary to the nature and the character of God, then we can immediately discard it knowing fully well that that is not God. That is not God because he leads in parts of righteousness and righteousness and holiness are his character. So he will not lead us in unrighteousness, unrighteous manner. So we can discard it, right. The second thing is to also, you know, let's say we have something which is, well, which is, which aligns with the word of God, right. It's not, it's not immoral in any way, like for example, you saw, you know, some of these things that you saw, right, the light. So it's, you know, it's kind of neutral in the sense it's, you know, it's not immoral in any way.  Well, I guess, yes. You know, we see that God is light in him, there's no darkness at all. So we know that scripture. But then, you know, what else was it me? Was it, you know, was it God? Right. So another important check is to see, you know, is, do I sense the presence of God, an anointing of God, the peace of God, when I am receiving this? Right. When I think about this, when I saw this light, is there any, do I sense the presence of God? Right. Do I sense this anointing? Do I sense this, you know, the inspiration of the Holy Spirit? Do I sense anything like that at all? So this is second, no, the second check. Then does it bring strength, encouragement and comfort? Right. We see that it prophecy does that it brings edification. It brings encouragement, it brings comfort. So, you know, well, we know that God would speak to us in order to warn us. He would speak in order to correct us to, you know, tell us that we are on the wrong path. We are maybe correct us of some, you know, wrongful habits or some decisions. So he would, he would do that. Right. But it always God's instructions are redemptive, you know, even as corrections are redemptive. It is with, you know, with a way out, no, this is what I want you to do. So that you can come back to me, even as warnings, so that, you know, I want you to come back. And that's why I'm warning you. I want you to get back to me. And that's why I am correcting you. It's never to put you down, destroy, just break you into 1000 pieces. No, God wants to bring us back into the restoration. Because he's a redemptive God. Like it's with no redemptives to take back to the place from where you fell. So if God's warnings and instructions are always redemptive, he wants you to come back, even as commandments to do, if you look at the commandments, right, don't do this. Why? Because he doesn't want us to fall and hurt ourselves and others in the bargain. Right. So they're redemptive in nature. So even in terms of correction, you know, it is with that sense of strength and encouragement. So does it bring strength? Does it bring encouragement? Does it bring comfort? Okay. Then when as we pray and as we receive, maybe, you know, some, it's something, it's a message for others. We need to check if we have any prejudice or any bias. Okay. So what do we mean by that, you know, that we, prejudice is just that we come to a conclusion even before we have, you know, met the person or spoken to that person. Maybe just by looking at the person we judge prior to this, you know, pre-prejudice, pre, you know, you kind of go through that process of coming to a conclusion even before you, you know, you've met or interacted with a person could be, oh, you might have some bias, right. Bias would be like, oh, people speaking this language are always like that, or people from this place are always like that. We could have that bias. Oh, these guys from Tamil Nadu, you know, they are always like this. Some bias, right. So we could, we could have it all by their physical appearance, you know, they are dressed in a certain way, they're wearing some torn jeans and have some, we have your body piercing and tattoos and all that. And so we, we judge by that outward appearance. So this person can't be spiritual, or this person is definitely living in sin. You know, we might come to that conclusion, right. So, so if we have that, if he sends that, then, then obviously the message that God will share something, and then, you know, even as we are sharing, it will be shared with that bias, right. So we can, we need to check and see, okay, is my spirit clean, is my heart clean, right. Do I have, do I harbor any such bias, any prejudice, any, any kind of, you know, hard heartedness at all, you know, any kind of hurts really. Like, for example, if, you know, let's say, in a marriage that has gone wrong, or in a marriage that's not really, you know, it's not a happy marriage, with a husband or the wife, and then, so if the, let's say the wife is one who's ministering, and then the husband has not really been carrying, not looking after responsibilities, et cetera. So if the wife gets to, let's say, minister and prophesy, if she's not careful, then she could always deliver a very corrective, you know, a hard-aged, corrective kind of a word, a condemning kind of a word for all men, he need to change. So the message could be, you know, God, God, of course, the message could be shared in a loving manner also, right.  But with this hurt, it can come, you know, with the, it can come severely, and it can be a very condemning message, right. So that is something for us to, for us to personally work on, you know, when it comes to prophecy. Okay. How to deliver, you can speak it, you can pray it, sing it, write it, draw it, paint it, live it. Right. So many ways. So we receive something from God, and then maybe, you know, you're artistically inclined, can just go ahead and express it in a picture, or you can just, whatever you saw, you know, when, when you were praying, you just paint it out, you, and it could be an amazing prophetic declaration, right. Or you can sing it, you know, put it in a song, sing it, it can be a prophetic song for that time. Then, of course, we can obey also, right. We see an instruction, and then we carry it out. So other ways, right, you know, you can pray through that, it can be a prophetic intercession, maybe God just wants you to pray about it.  The very fact that God has given that, or given that dream, is so that you can pray against that, pray against that happening, you know, that's what God's protection, right, works that way, that God has these intercessors and God saying, okay, you pray, I pray for protection for that person, for this person, right. Okay, then the words we choose to communicate the message, the tone of our voice, and when we actually deliver the message, it's in our control, okay. So we don't have to be dramatic, well, if you want to be dramatic, you can be, but you don't have to, you know, sound artificial, right, you don't have to put on a accent or whatever, it depends, it is completely dependent on you, because in 1 Corinthians 14, verse 31, 32 says the spirit of the prophets are subject to the prophets, right, and so, which means that it's in your hands, right, how you want to say it, what words you choose to say, right, it's in your hands, right, and the timing, that is also our responsibility, and it's, the presentation is as important as the revelation itself, right, so how you want to, when you want to actually present it, when you want to share with that person or with that group is also in your hands, right, so we can choose, like, so let's say it's a very sensitive, sensitive information, so you can choose not to kind of expose that person in public, and you can choose to do that in private, and say, hey, I sense that God is warning me, warning you about this particular area, and I believe that God loves you so much that he doesn't want to lose you, so you need to change the way you live your life, right, and you can do that in private, rather than calling that person out and saying, hey, God knows what you're doing, you better correct yourself, and that person is feeling so embarrassed right there in public, and sometimes that might work also, but the thing is, the timing is in your hands, you're not called to destroy that person, but really encourage and edify that person. Okay, fourth one is, I love yourself to be judged, okay, like we said, like we saw earlier, we know that the gift is perfect, we know that the message from God is perfect, but as messengers, we might have these prejudices, we might have these biases, we might have these hurts, or we might have our own way of interpreting it, according to our flesh, therefore, the message might become contaminated, right, I remember for example, this prophet actually, he was a prophet, and ministering, he's got a prophetic ministry, and there was this couple who were actually waiting on the Lord for a baby for some time, for some years, and so this person prayed, and for many years, they were childless, so this person prayed, and God gave a encouraging word that they will have a baby, and so he, in his excitement for the couple, so he just said, God is blessing you with a boy baby, okay, so the thing is, the gender of the baby was not something that was part of the prophecy, but then it just came out that way, he just, in his excitement, he said, God is blessing you with a boy baby, and the baby was born, because the couple was very happy, but it just so happened that the baby was a girl baby, right, so the couple was happy, nevertheless, so the husband wrote back to the, to this man of God, and said, you know, we, we did receive, thank you for praying, and God has answered your prayer, and you know, we have a beautiful baby, and just wanted to let you know that it was not a boy baby that you, like you prophesied, but it was a girl, right, so this thought, I let you know, so then the prophet actually wrote back and said, I'm very sorry that I made this mistake, because in now, when I look back and reflect, I realize that in my excitement, and in my, you know, in what I saw for you, and I know that you had been childless for many years, and then you had, you know, and we prayed, and in that excitement, I just said, and I guess it's now, and I look back, I see that it's me, you know, God has specifically revealed that it's going to be a boy baby, I just made a mistake, right, so he, he accepted that, so the thing is to allow ourselves to be judged, okay, when we give a prophetic word, now, you know, simple words of, you know, words of prophecy, like something that strengthens, something that's comforts, encourages, you know, we is, you know, unless it contradicts the word of God, we can always share, like, yeah, but even in those times, you know, we can allow ourselves to be judged, as you know, meaning, you can, first of all, we check, you know, and say, okay, God, is it from you? Or if you're not careful, we can even say, you know, hey, this is what I'm sensing, this is what I'm seeing, so I'm not really sure, so I just thought I should tell you this, very safe way, right, you're allowing yourself to be judged, and you're, you're giving that space for checking, for that person to check, check with God, check with the word, and to come back and say, yeah, I think this was, this is, this is right or this is wrong, right, so we do that, so, and also, it gives that, it is something very, very scriptural, right, we see, again, 1 Corinthians 14, that prophecy must be tested, right, when you see in the New Testament, in the, in this new dispensation, that this is how it is, we have a scriptural instruction, okay, so what is a litmus test for a prophet? Okay, there will be actually a very detailed thing in the prophetic class, and also, there are several things about the, you know, test of the prophet, of course, one is by the fruit in the sense that it comes to pass, secondly, you know, the prophecy actually does not lead you, the prophet and the, the prophecy does not lead you away from God, but towards God, right, so, so what's the point in when, when something is prophesied, and then the action of it leads you away from God, so, that is the thing, in addition to, you know, all this, the fruit of the life of the prophet, again, right, so, these are some, some things that are there, but there's a very detailed study on it, you know, about the test of a prophet, or to test and see, you know, is it, is this person a prophet, for oneself, you know, it's a good test for ourselves, so you could, you could check that out, Divya, it's in the book understanding the prophetic, so you can, you can check that out, right, okay, okay, so I love yourself to be judged, so don't be hurt, and that's, you know, suppose you say, share something, and that person says, no, I don't, I don't think so, so, you know, so then it's like, and you don't have to feel hurt, you know, maybe you made a mistake, maybe, you know, like, sometimes it happens, right, you, you know, we, okay, I strongly sense that this is, this is what is happening, and then we share in church, you know, in a, in a public gathering and say, okay, is there anyone with this kind of a thing, you're going through this, and nobody, nobody puts their hands up, and then, you know, you, you, suddenly you begin doubt, you know, did I hear from God or not, but then that's fine, right, you are, of course, we're all learning, growing in it, but many times we, you see that, you know, maybe people then lift their hands during the meeting, during the service, and then sometimes after the service, right, they come back and say, yeah, pastor, they know that was me, you know, maybe they were feeling embarrassed to put their hands up, whatever be the reason, or maybe they were not, you know, so that, whatever, you know, they, they might come back later also, and do that, but the thing is that, you know, we, we allow ourselves to be charged, right, and it's very, very important. Okay, don't be too hasty to use the says a lot, okay, which means, say, the Lord is telling you this, okay, and especially when it comes to something directional, the Lord is saying that, by this time next year, that you will, you will be working among, you know, this kind of people, you know, as we grow in the prophetic, yes, you know, we know that, you know, that there is a place for that, there is a place for that, but as we are growing in the prophetic, let's not be hasty to use that, let's not rush into it and say, you know, this is what God is saying, or thus says a lot, you know, saying, because it comes with that seed of approval and authority, and when, normally when we do that, people, it leaves no room for people to check, right, a God himself has spoken, and has come from a very, what do you call, well-respected reputed person or pastor or minister of God, and, you know, who am I to check, who am I to test, right, so when we kind of put that person in a predicament, like we say, thus says a lot, this is what God says, you need to do this, or you should not do that, right, so, so the thing is, don't rush into that, don't be hasty to use that, always leave room for the person to check and test, and we can, you know, we can use words like, you know, this is what I sense in my spirit, or this is what I feel the Lord is putting in my heart, right, so these are kind of safer and acceptable ways of, or more gracious ways of sharing, right, which leaves room for the person to also to check and test, and receive it and walk in it, okay, see the thing is that we, 1 Corinthians 13 talks about how we receive in part and we prophesy in part, no, it's not, we may not know the full history of that person, full life history of the person, because it's a word, right, God gives us a word sometimes, so it's a small piece of information really, but we can be faithful and share that, just because we share that word does not mean that we know everything, right, A to Z about the person, we do not, right, to be, we know in part and we prophesy in part, so just be faithful to whatever we've received and go ahead and prophesy, okay, so prophecy can also flow with the other gifts, like gifts of healing or, you know, other, other gifts, so it's not in isolation, this possibility is for us to share, you know, clearly communicate clearly and in a very simple language, so that the person can understand and also act on it, right, so if it's very, very, it's unclear or if it's using very complicated language, then the person may not really understand what we are sharing and as a result of it, they may not be able to even act on the message, maybe if it needs to be, you know, acted upon, right, so simplicity and clarity always helps, yeah, prophecy can be delivered to individuals, to a smaller group, to a large church gathering or it can be like a team that's prophesying to a person or a group of people, you know, team one by one, just prophesying, it can be a, we've done some of those, you know, when we gathered for worship team meetings and really we're encouraging time for people, right, okay, so we can do prophecy, we can, can be released in all these manners, in all these ways, right, sorry, so what are some guidelines, especially when we use it in smaller groups, right, use it for edification, not for embarrassing people, okay, it's never to bring the person down, it's never to destroy the person or to bring that person under condemnation, that's, that's never God's heart, right, so, so don't, you do that, you know, all can prophesy, let everyone participate, everyone share and everyone can learn and grow in it and also if there's one person who's leading, maybe there's a person who's leading the whole time of prophesying, just follow instructions and let there be order when we do it, okay, and of course allowing oneself to be judged and corrected is good, okay, some things to avoid, don't try to be a fortune teller, you know, telling people what they want to hear and in return for something, you know, for some gain, personal gain, so, you know, well, God has called you to be a prophet or a prophesying believer, don't ever do that, but also prophesying, the gift of prophecies is never to be used to manipulate people, to control people's lives, to control their behavior, to control their actions, it's never that because witchcraft is what, you know, that is because, you know, to manipulate people, to force people to also to kind of force them to, for monetary gains or, you know, to, so for our own benefits and all that, that is witchcraft and it's not prophecy, so we should not get into that, right, and we need to test, we need to submit and let it be for the person's edification, so that the Spirit of God can lead them into freedom and liberty, right, okay, so that's about the gift of prophecy, so any questions, you know, any questions on this, we can talk about it now, okay, if you have questions, you can feel free to post them later as well, okay, let's look at the next gift, which is the word of wisdom, okay, so the word of wisdom, again, closely related, you know, word of knowledge, word of wisdom, prophecy, please say a very closely related to one another, you know, gives that reveal something, right, so the word of wisdom is, it's a piece of, again, God's wisdom, it's a word, right, a piece of information from the Lord, right, it's divine wisdom, it's from him, and it is supernaturally communicated to the believer or imparted to the believer, the believer receives it, right, it's not, it's not something that, that is learned, it's supernaturally received, so what is it used for, to solve a problem, to determine what cause of action to take, you know, like what decision to be made, to also know what is coming up in the future, and it could be to release some creative scientific ideas, a word of wisdom, so we know that word is part of a long sentence, so it's a, it's a, it's a small piece of information, which is a part of God's vast and expansive and infinite wisdom, right, it's just a small part of it, but it does the job, right, when God communicates that, it solves the problem, it is that which is used for, you know, useful for maybe, you know, that maybe it's in a counseling kind of a situation, but that's the thing, that is the very information that, that brings that restoration back, if carried on, if acted on, upon, right, so it's different from acquired wisdoms that we need to understand, right, and it's, when you say wisdom that's acquired, it comes through experience, it's the ability to use knowledge, right, it's, it comes from experience, it comes from, you know, going through a course or learning and trying it out, so that's a naturally acquired wisdom, so, and that which is also important, you know, downplaying that in any way, right, so God who has given us our mind and all this, you know, that we see around us, so we use our minds to learn from it, research, and so which is important as well, but when we, when we look specifically as word of wisdom, it's a supernaturally acquired, supernaturally imparted wisdom, right, so it's regardless of my learning, it's regarded, regardless of my, you know, my background, my understanding, whatever, you know, so it could be a word of, it could be a specific instruction to do something, to share something, which could solve a problem, maybe it's a sort of financial problem, maybe it's to solve a, you know, something else, maybe a technical problem, or it's maybe an idea, a creative idea that really, you know, enhances the beauty of something, and it would be, you know, the application could be varied, but the thing is that, you know, it's not something that I, that I acquired naturally, it's not from books, it's not from looking at videos, watching videos, or attending a course, but something that God puts in my heart, right, so some old testament examples, we see Joseph interpreting dreams, like Joseph, the Pharaoh's dream interpreted with the help of God, he knows that, you know, he, the interpretation comes from him, from God, God is the one who enabled him, along with the interpretation, if you notice, and especially when it comes to Pharaoh's dream, those two dreams that he had, about the cattle, the healthy cattle, the ones which were skinny, and also about the corn, there was also a solution that he provided, right, there was a wisdom that he provided, in order to, it was a solution that saved the nation, what they should do during those years of famine, building granaries and collecting grain, and a portion of it, and storing it, which helped them to overcome and to sustain them during the years of famine, right, so now that's a word of wisdom, and we studied about Bezalel, how the Holy Spirit gave creative ability to him, and others in esteem, to, in craftsmanship, and jewelry, and carvings, and so on, right, so something, so ideas, creative ideas, coming from God, and be open to it, for David, King David, you know, the Lord gave him the design for the temple, which later Solomon built, right, so he was, well, of course he, he grew to be a king, but he was really, you know, he knew how he could, to lead sheep, he was definitely a talented musician and songwriter, he was a warrior, but this was something that he didn't have any, you know, experience in, but the Lord gave him the idea for a design, and we read about it in 1st Chronicles 28, that he gave that temple design to David, right, Ezekiel, we read about some, you know, some visitations and experiences, encounters that he had, visions, Daniel again, interpreting dreams, and also foretelling future events, so we see those such examples in the Old Testament, in the New Testament also we see that, you know, there was a warning, and warning about not going back to Herod, to the wise men, right, not going back to Herod, but to go back to their own country after they visited the Lord Jesus, right, after they visited Mary and Joseph and the Lord Jesus, we saw him in the stable and in the manger, and they went, I'm sorry, when they actually came and saw, they were actually in the house, right, when the shepherds came, they were in the manger and the stable, when the wise men came, they were actually in a house, it says, so they saw them, they saw that, and then they received instruction, and they went a different way, right, Joseph again, received that information in a dream, right, not to go, or to go to Egypt, not to stay, but to go to Egypt, and to stay there, and to come back also, every time it was a, it was that information, which helped, you know, save, preserve life, their own lives, the life of the Lord Jesus, okay, so we see several examples, the Lord Jesus again, when he was, you know, they wanted to corner him and put him in a spot about paying taxes, they knew that they wanted to trap them by their questionings, their questioning was not genuine, it was not like they wanted answers or solutions, but, you know, they said, okay, we want to know, is it okay to pay taxes, so if the Lord said yes, then the Pharisees could say, he's supporting the Romans, if he said no, then they could hand him over to the Romans, you know, so it was just to trap him, but the Lord Jesus asked a very pertinent question, you know, whose image is there on the coin, whose inscription is this, and they said, sees us, then, and here's the wisdom with which he answered, or, you know, that particular situation, that situation he said, therefore, give to Caesar, what is Caesar's, and give to God, what is God's, and they were just marveled at the wisdom with which he handled that situation, so we see that Paul, you know, some direction about going to Macedonia, and how he has a dream, and so on, okay, so we see that, you know, the Word of Wisdom, both in the Old Testament and in the New Testament, we see that happening, right, so here's a list of how the Word of Wisdom operates and how it can be useful, okay, so now, as we go through this list, you will realize that, hey, God actually has spoken to me in these ways before, right, I knew, I know that, you know, there have been times when God spoke to me like that, and it was very, very helpful, you realize that, we're just giving a name to it and saying, okay, Word of Wisdom, the fact is that Word of Wisdom, Word of Knowledge, prophecy, well, it's all about God's communication, and God speaking, and God, you know, instructing, God leading, it's all about that, we just, you know, we're learning that this can happen, and we're giving it a name, and it's, I mean, we're not giving it a name, I mean, God has already given it a name, it's there in scripture, we're just understanding, okay, this is what it is, this is how it applies, so I can expect, I can be open for God to lead me in these ways, for the Holy Spirit to lead me in these ways, right, okay, so when it comes to you know, let's say, counseling people and helping identify certain deep issues and the causes, right, we see the symptoms of it, we see people saying, you know, outwardly speaking certain things, but then, and they're saying, okay, this is, maybe this is, this could be the reason, you know, we are always happy, and it's because of this behavior, or it's because of that, but then there could be a deeper issue, and the Holy Spirit who knows the hearts of people can reveal that to the one who is counseling, and that piece of information is very, very important, because that's the missing piece, right, this whole thing, that's the missing piece in the picture, so if I'm sensitive enough to receive that, right, and share that and say, well, I just believe that this is, this is what God is showing, or this is, this is something, is it so, you know, is this, have you been doing this, or, you know, have you been behaving this manner, or is this something that you have in your house, then, you know, we identify, and that root cause is identified, and once that is dealt with, then the whole situation changes, scenario changes, right, so it could be counseling, it could be during the ministry of the word itself, you know, what kind of word to share, what is the word that one needs to share, and how to communicate that, right, interpreting dreams, we saw that solving business workplace problems also, you know, so the thing is that God is, God wants to do that in our lives, right, maybe you could be in your, maybe you're a student, you could be, you know, you could have your own business, maybe you're a working professional, even that, right, it's not outside of God's scope, it's not just for church or in church, or, you know, matters related to what we think are related to, you know, things of the word and spirit and spiritual in nature, it's not just that, right, God wants to deal with and solve things in the workplace when it comes to, you know, the business that you're handling, and believe God for that, and believe God for ideas, okay, God, how can I really solve this issue of, you know, of debt, how can I solve this whole challenge of, you know, entering into other new markets, or give me some ideas for a product or a service that will really enhance the business, God can do that, and God will communicate that, a word of wisdom, okay, solutions for difficult life situations, dealing about the future, design in any field, again, I just wanted to share, you know, it can be in any field, you know, it can be in music, it can be like, you know, like I, some of you know, like I lead worship and this was for one of the, one of the Sunday morning services, we were having like an evangelistic service, we used to call it Big Sunday and, and I really wanted to know, like, how do I start this particular, this particular song, I didn't want to sing it the usual way, so usual way in the sense, you know, there's an inter, there's an intro, there's a musical intro, and then we sing with the, we start with the first verse, so I don't want to do that, because I felt that, okay, it may not be relevant for the audience, which will be a mixed crowd of believers, you know, people who do not believe, so Lord, how do I, how do I start that, and, and I just prayed about it, and I as I woke up that morning, Sunday morning, I just woke up with singing that section, right, singing that section, and I just knew in my heart, yes, God had answered the prayer, right, this is what I'm supposed to start with, so I was not singing the verse, I was not singing the chorus, but I woke up singing that, that bridge of that song, the bridge of that song, and, and that, and those words really made sense that, yeah, this can, this can be something that can be encouraging to both kinds of, you know, both audiences, it can be for the believer, and for the unbeliever, and so on, so, so any, you know, any field that you are in, and what you are engaging in, well, that word of wisdom, like God, God gives that, that inspiration, and that information, and you take that, and you go with it, and you see that, that solves the problem, or that enhances, you know, the effectiveness of the whole thing, right, okay, so how is a lot of wisdom received, again, we come back to that, you know, what good is that if I don't know how to receive it, when I know that God does this, God does it in the past, did it in the past in the Old Testament, I see these examples, God does it in the New Testament, I see these examples, but then how do I receive it, same way, same manner, being sensitive in our spiritual senses, okay, so there can be a quick kining of scripture, like we saw that, you know, Divya shared that, shared a couple of scriptures, Priya, I think you shared, 43-2, right, yeah, you shared that, so, so it can be a quick kining of scripture, you know, you sense that, okay, you know, a scripture verse comes to your heart at that moment, it's not something that you've been reading, but you've something, obviously, something that you've read before, but that comes to your heart, and you make a note of it, sometimes you do, you just get a reference, you don't even know what the verse is, till you open the Bible and read that reference out, or maybe sometimes it's an entire scripture itself, and a quick kining of scripture to your heart is one way by which you receive that word of wisdom, okay, and there could be a sense of knowing on the inside, what is that, you know, it's a, it's a growing weight, it's, you know, it's like, you know that, you know that, you know that this is what you're supposed to do, right, this is what your, your next action should be, okay, I should go there, I should do this, okay, so what we'll do is we'll continue this next class, there's a little bit more to share about word of wisdom, so let's take some time to do that, and probably we'll just go a little bit faster from the next class onwards, right, about covering, and then we'll cover the rest of the gifts as well, okay, so we'll stop here, okay, thank you so much, God bless you guys, we'll catch up next week, bye-bye.


Hey everybody, welcome back to the channel. Today we're going to take a look at all the awesome releases, all the cool manga that's coming out in 2024. Now, I don't have the full list, but I've got 30 books that I think will be highly anticipated by all. Let's do it. The first book that we're going to talk about is a much requested release and it came from the folks of Kodansha. We have the Fable Omnibus. This is a 2-in-1 volume with art and story by Katsuhisa Minami. The man called the Fable is a self-proclaimed genius at killing. The mention of his code name strikes fear into the hearts of every Yakuza in Japan. His talent has brought him everything he could want. Money, respect, purpose. But this is no legend. He's just a man.   So begins the Fable's toughest mission yet, a full year, living a normal life. At the other end of the bullet train in Osaka. It's a mission he takes on with his usual professionalism and rigor. But can the Osaka mob let this legend rest? Or will they be unable to resist pulling him back into the underworld? GoGoMonster is finally coming back from the legendary Tayo Matsumoto and shout out to Viz for making it happen. This has been a much requested reprint and here we are just a couple months away from the release of GoGoMonster, the second edition. If you don't know what this is about, it stars a third grade kid called Yuki Tachibana, who lives in two worlds. In one, he is a loner ridiculed by his classmates and reprimanded by his teachers for telling stories of supernatural beings that only he can see. In the other, those supernatural beings vie for power with malevolent spirits who bring chaos into the school, the students' lives, and nature itself. From Dark Horse Comics, we got the release of Trigun, the Luxe Edition. This collects volumes one and two of the series in a beautiful hardcover featuring a faux leather cover of Yasuhiro Naito's signature creation, collected for the first time in this original oversized format. Hirayasumi Volume One was finally announced. This is by Keigo Shinzo. At 29 years old, carefree Hiroto Ikuta doesn't have a girlfriend, a full-time job, or a plan for the future, and he couldn't be happier. Hiroto's breezy attitude isn't easy for everyone to understand, though. In a world filled with anxiety, confusion, and grief, Hiroto and the people who surround him are all just doing their best to figure out this thing called life. After developing an unlikely friendship with a grouchy old granny who lives in his neighborhood, Hiroto suddenly finds himself inheriting not just her house, but some rather difficult emotions as well. His 18-year-old cousin, Natsumi, moves in with him, but as a struggling art student, she has her own troubles to deal with, and may just put Hiroto's easygoing lifestyle to the test. Viz Media is putting out Gokurakugai Volume One. This is written by Yuto Sano. For the right price, these professional troubleshooters can solve any problem. Whether they're taking out the scum of the earth or destroying human-eating monsters, the troubleshooters of Gokurakugai are open for business. In a run-down town without law and order, Tao and Alma accept work from clientele of all creeds and cultures, and they're always ready to dole out justice against human-hungry monsters that lurk in the shadows. Visually, this is one of my most hyped releases of the year, so I'm highly anticipating the release of Gokurakugai Volume One. Definitely be on the lookout for that one. This next shoujo released surprised many and confused some. It is the omnibus edition of A Sign of Affection from Su Morishita, and I say confused because it is a relatively new series, and the individual volumes were still coming out as of the announcement of the omnibus edition. But here we are with a 3-in-1 release. Volume One drops in a couple months. This is from Kodansha, and it stars the character of Yuki, who's always been deaf. She's used to communicating with sign language and her phone, but she's not used to English. So when a tourist from overseas asks for directions, she nearly panics, until a handsome stranger steps in to help. His name is Itsuomi, and it turns out he's a friend of a friend, a charismatic globetrotter. Itsuomi speaks 3 languages, but he's never had a deaf friend. The two feel drawn to each other and plan a date on a romantic winter's night, but Yuki's friend is afraid that she might be setting herself up to get hurt. Could this be something real, or will these feelings melt away with the snow? For our big profile Kodansha release, we have Vinland Saga, the deluxe edition hardcover. Now keep in mind, this was already supposed to come out in December of 2023, but it got pushed back all the way to February of 2024. This hardcover edition contains volumes 1, 2, and 3 of the acclaimed action epic at a bigger size than ever before. Wrapped in a red leather patterned cover with logo stamping, this new edition features all the content of the original release, plus new and exclusive bonus illustrations, interviews, and behind the scenes details never before translated. Snowball Earth Volume 1 from Yuhiro Sugitsugu. This is being put out by Vizmedia, and it tells of the year 2025, where huge beasts from beyond the galaxy have attacked Earth. In the war that followed, humanity fought back with a giant robot named Yukio, piloted by Tetsuo Yabusame, a boy barely old enough to go to school. Ten years later, the massive alien swarm closed in on humanity's homeworld, and Tetsuo and Earth Defense Force deployed for the final battle with the invading horde. They lost. Yukio was destroyed in battle, and Tetsuo survived in an escape pod. After eight years in cold sleep, the escape pod finally lands back on Earth, and Tetsuo awakens determined to fulfill his promise to his comrades in arms that he would live his life to the fullest and make many friends. But what he finds instead is a world in ruins, entirely frozen beneath a blanket of ice and snow, a snowball Earth. Another omnibus release this time from Kodansha, we have The Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. This is a 3-in-1 volume featuring the story by Fuse with illustrations by Taiki Kawakami. Mikami's middle age hasn't gone as he's planned, he never found a girlfriend. He got stuck in a dead-end job, and he has abruptly been stabbed to death in the street at 37. So when he wakes up in a new world straight out of a fantasy RPG, he's disappointed. But not exactly surprised to find that he's facing down a dragon, not as a knight or a wizard, but as a blind slime monster. But there are chances for even a slime to become a hero, and maybe even build a country where the rejects and outcasts can find a place to belong. I usually shy away from giving my full thoughts on these titles here because I'm just recommending stuff, but I have to put a parenthesis. This is one of my all-time favorite isekai, amazing world building, and great characters. I have this series, but I highly recommend you check out. That time I got reincarnated as a slime. Drifters, from Kota Hirano, the creator of Helsing, is finally getting an omnibus release. The series has long been out of print, and pretty hard to find, but here we have the first three volumes of the series collected in one omnibus volume. Warriors and warlords from Earth's history, or Drifters, are transported to an alien world and employed to help the non-human races defend themselves in a worldwide civil war with legions of monsters led by the malefic black king, threatening the annihilation of both human and non-human races. Drifters is a howling tornado of all-out action and staggering imagination. If you're a fan of Helsing, you'll be right at home with Drifters. Viz is putting out Haikyuu in a 3-in-1 omnibus edition, this first volume collecting volumes 1, 2, and 3 of the famous sports drama by Haruichi Furudate. Ever since he saw the legendary player known as the Little Giant compete at the National Volleyball Finals, Shojo Hinata has been aiming to be the best volleyball player ever. Who says you need to be tall to play volleyball when you can jump higher than anyone else? After losing his first and last volleyball match against Tobio Kagayama, the king of the court, Shojo Hinata swears to become his rival after graduating middle school. But the guy he wants to defeat ends up becoming his teammate at Karasuno High School. The two will have to prove themselves capable of playing together if they want to have a future playing volleyball. Another much requested title from a lot of new readers is Fool Night. This is by Kazumi Yasuda. Volume 1 is coming out soon and it is about a distant future where earth is covered in thick clouds and the sun no longer shines. Plants wither and oxygen is thin. To fight extinction, humankind has developed a technology that turns humans into plants providing a small amount of oxygen. Is this process sustainable? Is it ethical? Toshiro Kamiya must consider these questions as he's faced with a difficult choice. Save his family or save himself. Kodansha is also bringing us the omnibus release of the much anticipated initial D reprint. This is a two in one large sized edition with a refreshed translation featuring story and art by Shuichi Shigeno. Takumi Fujiwara spends a lot of time behind the wheel. His tofu delivery job sends him racing down the treacherous roads of Mount Akina. And without even realizing it, Takumi has mastered racing techniques that take most drivers a lifetime to learn. Of course, none of his friends realize this. They are all too busy watching the Akina Speedstars, the local street racing team. When the legendary Red Suns show up to challenge the Speedstars, the rival team obsesses over a phantom car. The Trueno 86 seen racing through the mountain roads. Who is the driver and will they take on this dangerous challenge? Metalist Volume 1 story and art by Sudo Maikada. This is being published by Kodansha and it stars the character of Inori, a little girl who dreams of becoming a figure skater. Yet the obstacles to this dream feel insurmountable. Inori is already too old. She's 11. She's always had trouble at school and worst of all, her older sister's skating dreams ended in failure. So her mother is dead set against putting her other daughter through a similar experience.

Tsukasa, a frustrated coach on the edge of giving up competitive skating himself, will join Inori to form an unstoppable duo powered by hard work, transcended joy and an unshakable belief that they can prove everyone wrong. I did want to highlight one compilation release and we have Nude Model and other stories by Tsubasa Yamaguchi, the author of Blue Period. This release explores the darker, more mature side of Tsubasa Yamaguchi's imagination, where they weave the complex webs that provide little in the way of easy answers, while accurately depicting the strangeness and confusion of life for teenagers and adults alike. From the legendary Kazuo Umez, we have his next release, courtesy of Viz Media, in perfect addition. It is My Name is Shingo, Volume 1. When an industrial robot named Munro begins to work at his father's factory, Satouro is fascinated. As he and his friend, Madin, spend more time with Munro, they start to suspect there's much more to him than anyone realizes. But neither children nor adults are prepared for Munro's violent, self-actualizing awakening into consciousness. Viz Media's other darling, Junji Ito has a brand new story collection coming out and it is subtitled Alley. Every night, a young man hears children playing outside of his boarding house, but the alley below his window is fenced off from the world. What secret lies within the stains on the alley's walls?

Count Vlad Dracula is reborn as a katana-wielding young vampirist in an alternate history Europe. After the reincarnated Dracula rescues a girl named Clara from a mysterious stranger, Clara explains that she is the creation of a certain Victor Frankenstein. She also reveals that she is fleeing from an organization called Cerberus, which seeks to capture and study monsters such as herself in order to create an army of human monster hybrids. Clara begs the vampirist to flee with her to an island of monsters where the two of them will be saved. But as they set out for Monster Island, the sinister forces of Cerberus are in hot pursuit.

Dear students, in this topic we shall discuss the nervous control of microcirculation. First we shall discuss the role of nervous system in maintaining blood pressure. The arterial blood pressure is maintained by nervous system by adjusting the resistance to blood flow in peripheral circulation. And by controlling the number of capillaries open at any moment. If arterial blood pressure falls, nervous control of capillary flow ensures that blood flow to the brain and heart is maintained. And it also ensures that the blood flow to gut, liver and muscles is reduced. Because the more vital organs they have, the more blood they need to be transferred in such conditions when normal arterial blood pressure has fallen. Nervous control is possible because there are nervous innervations in the arterioles. The other three arterioles are innervated by sympathetic nerves. These sympathetic nerves release norepinephrine at their endings. Some arterioles are innervated by parasympathetic nerves which release acetylcholine at their endings. The sympathetic nerve stimulation in the arterioles causes the release of norepinephrine. Norepinephrine binds to alpha adeno receptors in smooth muscles of arterioles. This binding causes vasoconstriction that is decrease in the diameter of arterioles. Sympathetic nerves stimulation causes vasoconstriction and this vasoconstriction increases resistance to flow. So blood flow through capillary beds is reduced. Part of the microcirculation action of norepinephrine is modulated by another substance which is called neuropeptide y. Because of this norepinephrine and neuropeptide y action, blood flow decreases in coronary arteries. When parasympathetic nerves present in the arterioles are stimulated, acetylcholine is released. Parasympathetic nerves are present only in the arterioles of brain and lungs. When acetylcholine is produced, there is vasodilation in the arterioles which increases blood supply in the heart and lungs.
