The most dramatic and significant divine revelation history took place over 3,000 years ago when the people of Israel, the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, were redeemed from their slavery in Egypt, came to Mount Sinai, and God literally revealed himself to them with the dramatic words Anohi Hashem Elokecha, I am the Lord your God, who took you out of the land of Egypt from the house of slavery. It's significant that God did not simply say, I am God, or I am the Almighty God who created the entire cosmos, God identified himself specifically as the God who redeemed us, took us out of the land of Egypt, and that's how we are to understand God. In the book of Deuteronomy chapter 4 verse 35, God says that he showed us so that we should know who he is, and there is no one else, there is none other. And therefore idolatry is defined as the worship of anyone or anything that was not revealed to our ancestors at Mount Sinai. Not the Bible, God says that he despises idolatry because idolatry is a spiritual form of adultery. And none of our ancestors who stood at Mount Sinai ever reported to their children or grandchildren that God was revealed to them as having human form or that God was revealed to them as a trinity. Now it's not difficult to understand the appeal of idolatry because it's extremely difficult to relate to a God that we cannot see. In addition, there is a philosophical problem. Philosophically, we understand that there is an infinite gap between a divine being who is omnipotent and omniscient and transcendent, and a human physical world, physical world where we are limited, we're physical, we're finite. God is transcendent. How is this gap ever going to be bridged? Christianity proposes a very, very compelling narrative. They say that this infinite gap was bridged by God, taking on human form and coming to live in our physical world so that we could have more access to Him. Even though this narrative is compelling, and it might even be to some people attractive, it is not what the Bible teaches. As a matter of fact, it's completely the opposite of what the Bible actually teaches. Our Bible says to us that this gap between the Almighty and ourselves will not be bridged by God coming into the world and taking on human form, but rather by human beings becoming more godly themselves. In the book of Leviticus chapter 19, God challenges us and says, Kedoshim tihiu kikadoshani, you shall be holy as I, God, am holy. And so therefore God says to us that the gap between the infinite and the finite is not going to be bridged by Him becoming more human, but on the contrary by human beings becoming more godly.


Connie or John? If they were stuck in a burning building, which one would you save? You can only save one. But Nick, I can't pick one. You gotta pick one. Or guess what? They're both gonna burn to death. Is that what you want? As you can tell, I'm not home. I'm in a hotel room. I don't have my headset. I don't have my mic. I have AirPods. This is like a gas station setup I have right now. Yeah, let's get to the video. This program contains graphic content, adult themes, and violence that may not be suitable for some viewers than it is appropriate for children. This content is entirely fiction or what?  The content is intended for a mature audience. It's just, pfft. I ain't mature, that's for sure.  Levi. Levi. This dude got hit by the Mugen train and he's still alive. I feel like a comet could hit Levi. Look at him, he still looks beautiful. When they play this music, my ears come. Dude, how does he still look that good? And one-tenth of his face is showing. I think it's only up to Armin. I cannot wait for them all to regroup. But I think Levi's done for the show. He's done, he's done enough. Oh my God, I forgot. Oh, it's a good day. Levi woke up! He shows you how strong he is, man. Not just with his- Oh my God, he wants his fingers! Man, I've never seen Levi like this. This is so weird. My God, is that all he thinks about?  It kinda looks like little Kim. Damn, Levi's calling him by their government names over here. These Titans in the back are gonna be walking for the rest of the show. They might walk on other shows. I'm starting to believe. I feel like they're always gonna be walking. If I look at my window, they might be walking. I can't believe we're gonna get team-ups like this. I feel like this is the best part of this show right now. Oh my God, yes, man. Just realized, like, I'm watching this intro for the first time since I did my attack on Titan opening reactions before I even watched the show. So I don't even know the character's names or the story or anything, so I don't remember it. But I'm watching it right now.  The Annie's in it? I skipped, I can't watch the rest of this intro because I feel like it's gonna spoil everything. Everything is a spoiler, it shows the tree. Does that battle not even happen yet? Bro, the animation has gotten so much better. The CGI even got better in the show. She's crying on Mikasa. Sleep, baby girl, bro, you need some sleep. Oh my God, I thought Ryu was here. I thought I was watching Death Note, bro, with the apples. I can't believe what I'm watching right now. Armin and Gabby traveling together on horses. Connie is gonna go through this mental battle now.  Yeah, feel bad. See, man? I might come around on him. I ain't coming on him, but I'll come around. Did he lose his face? I love when Attack on Titan does this. I think it's like an anime thing. It's purposely done. It's like an art style type thing, but I love when they have like God-like animation and then they have something like this. I got it. That's why you don't talk to yourself out loud, Connie. Oh my God, he heard that? Why was he saying it out loud? You're still lying? You can't cover this up.  Oh my God, she's still backwards. This dude left his mom backwards like that for years.  No! The same same, you know? I want you to help me save the titan. I have no experience like this. I think that's the best that Connie's ever said in the show.  Oh, listen, listen. I may not love Connie.  Peek. Peek, like he's incredible.  Wait till he finds out that.  Zero, maybe even negative 1% chance. Armin dies right now.  That's exactly what was gonna happen. If that doesn't happen, I'm selling my channel.  Wow.  She's suffering.  You know what, Connie? You ain't a bad guy. I might be coming around on you, buddy.  The whole thing about Irwin. I feel so bad for him. Damn, 60 this episode.  That's a little weird, girl. Nick, she admires her. I don't know, man. Better wash that scarf. Aw. Now I feel bad for saying this. What do you say?  This dude, Armin, does not have a heart anymore, man.  Bro, she lost her legs, man, and she doesn't regret it. Now she's talking to herself. Bro, she's lost it. They're gonna be walking forever.   I'm not gonna front, guys. This dude's crazy now. You know these characters are sheep when they all look the same, literally. Like, I wonder who the main character is in this picture. Like, come on now. Look at this, look at this beautiful picture right here. They're eating together.  It's a season where I'm gonna start loving characters I used to hate. Like, I like Connie now. It took like 10 seconds for me to like Connie. Just his change of heart. Now, my God, this picture alone makes me love Annie. Marry me.  Oh, that had to be a time drop right there. Armin, Gabby, Annie, and Falco are together right now. I just don't know what's going on right now. I feel like I'm watching a different show.  The only black guy in this show. I don't know, man. I don't know about that. Bro.   You better not kill him. You'll be canceled immediately. What are you doing?  I feel like he's about to get shot. I'm worried, man. I'm worried right now, but he's speaking facts. Hell yeah, bro. No, that didn't happen. I think that was like a warning signal. I can't believe it. I, I, I, I, I'm watching right now. Oh, thank God. I'm just dying inside. Oh, my God. Do you see the group that is together right now? John, Mikasa, Armin, Annie, Reiner, the pick, pick, my God. I can't believe it. I, I, I, I, I'm watching right now. I'm watching right now. I'm watching right now. I'm watching right now. I can't believe it.  Manji, leave my girl back together. Look at this shot. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Hit this more. Oh, my God.  No way. That was one of the best quotes I've heard in this show. Let's go to save the world. And that, that sound. Oh, my God. Look at this fucking. If you would have said that this picture, if you would have sent me this picture, I think it's fan art. No, man, this show does the, it does the unthinkable. I love when we have team ups like this. No matter what I'm watching, it's just so cool, like unexpected team ups. But with everything they've been through, they put their problems aside in the past, aside to come together for a common goal. They don't want to see the world be destroyed. It's so crazy how everything is flipped. Like these characters are working together to save the world from Aaron. Imagine telling someone that in season one or two or even three. It's so crazy. It's season four changed the game. Y'all says it's all started in season four. And everybody asked me what's my favorite season. Season four without a doubt. This has been an insane season answering like 90% of the questions I had and giving me 99,000 more questions. Falling in love with new characters like Falco and Gabby. Gabby's like my number one. She is my number one. Number two is Ryder. And now we have them like all together. I think this is the first show I've watched. Not even just anime but anything where there's no filler. Like not one episode made me like, That was alright. No, no, no.  Like a blow hole on a whale. Incredible. Yeah, that's it. See you all in the next video. Peace out, bitches.


The ministries are again encouraging all residents of St. Lucia to get vaccinated to protect themselves, their family and the wider society against COVID-19. A total of 29,023 individuals have received the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine and 20,042 of those have also received the second dose. The COVID-19 vaccination drive continues at sites, island-wide. Maintime director of the Pan-American Health Organization has made another appeal for access to vaccines in the hemisphere. Dr. Carissa Atien says in the Caribbean, Trinidad and Tobago reported the largest spike in COVID-19 infections and deaths over the past month, while hospitalizations in Haiti continue to stretch the country's oxygen supplies. Dr. Atien says the region desperately needs more doses of COVID-19 vaccines. While we need more doses everywhere, the countries at greatest risk where vaccines have been slowest to arrive and even where vulnerable populations have yet to be protected, these countries urgently need more vaccines. We are thankful for the United States government's decision to donate an initial 6 million doses to countries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Spain has also generously donated 5 million doses to Latin America and the Caribbean. And we are so grateful to Canada, which has committed 50 million Canadian dollars to expand access to COVID-19 vaccines in the region. We hope that other countries, particularly those with excess doses at global financial institutions, will follow in the footsteps to provide the support that we need to protect the 70 per cent of our population that will not be covered under COVID-19. Dr. Carissa Atien says it is important that countries rely on the science as the region pushes towards vaccination. This virus has been extensively researched. Treatments and vaccines have undergone rigorous testing and global institutions like the WHO and PAHO are continuing to update guidance based on the latest available evidence. We urge countries to use this guidance and focus on what works. Unproven treatments must be studied in the realm of clinical trials, not promoted for political gain while patients are made more vulnerable by embracing strategies that don't work. As we look to the months ahead, we must remember that the decisions we take will affect our collective ability to control this virus. If current trends continue, the health, social and economic disparities in our region will grow even larger, and it will be years before we control this virus in the Americas. But by working together, we can limit the spread of COVID-19. We can move closer to a more equal world and fulfill our promise of health for all. Director of PAHO, Dr. Carissa Atien.


Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good night, whatever applies to each of you. We will pray together and then we'll get started for this morning session. I want to request anyone who is comfortable from where you are to please lead. Can I put him up? Yes, please. Thank you. Father, we thank you for such an awesome time in the history of humanity. We thank you that you've gathered us together to warn the fires of the Lord upon your altar in knowledge and in truth. We pray for our pastor, we pray for every one of ourselves that you give us an understanding heart. A heart that is meek and humble to receive the teachings of a priest that will may restore the tabernacle of David upon this time. So God, we thank you that we are in season and on time in the sequence of your counsel for our lives. We take this truth to establish the kingdom of God in this season. In the name of Jesus we have prayed. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you, Louis. Really appreciate it. Louis, it's 4.30 a.m. for where Louis is. Yes ma'am. Yes ma'am. So yeah, so grateful and inspired that you wake up every day so early to catch up on the classes. So something to really learn from. Thank you so much. Thank you, Louis. Thank you so much, ma'am. Thank you so much. Okay, so now we've been talking about the apostolic and we will pick up from where we stopped. I know that in the last class I kind of did an overlap. I restarted from the chapter that I already touched on because I felt that we need clarity in understanding who an apostle is and what the features of the apostolic anointing are. So thank you for bearing with me. So many things were overlapping the last classes. Today we will move forward. This is from chapter four in our notes. So if you have your notes with you, you could please turn to it chapter four. And let me see if I can also, yeah, chapter four. Just try to complete this for today. So so far I think we have a good fair idea of what the apostolic entails. So continuing to look at the function and characteristics of the apostolic ministry. And here it says present day apostolic because we no longer can fit into the Apostles of the Lamb category or the founding Apostles category. So another term that you may want to consider for all the other Apostles is present day. Depending on the current functions which they have. So we are very clear on that. We can't go back and fit into the roles and the functions of the past Apostles. So talking about apostolic ministry today, you'll notice that it continues to carry governmental authority. Whenever we refer to the Apostolic office, very much like your prophetic office, the teacher, the role of a pastor and evangelist. It comes with governmental authority. So government, if you recall, I mentioned in the last class, 1 Corinthians 1228, the term government, looking at the Greek terminology. It is Kuber, which means steer. Or it directs, government directs. Or it moves people forward in a focused way and that is what it is. So there is governmental authority where one is that there is direction, but there's also a great sense of power in that calling or in that position. So the offices have governmental authority. In other words, you know, there's great responsibility and they also need to be greatly accountable to God for the anointing that God has poured upon them. Then we see that in the office of the prophet, as we looked at the life of Apostle Paul, God really shaped him and provided him with the opportunities to grow into bodily character. Now God does this for everybody, but there is a specific, you could say that it's so important for someone who would be in a position of responsibility to really be shaped by the opportunities that God brings their way to have godly character. Because they would lead others, they would make decisions and all these things really make an impact on not just one individual, but many, many people. So which is why it's very easy to understand why God would want a godly character for a person in the offices, especially the apostolic office. And then spiritual gifts that needs to be a manifestation of spiritual gifts to glorify and honor God, then, you know, the ability to pioneer. This is, if at all you forget everything about the apostolic, you know, if you can remember, this is one of the key points or the main points that apostles are pioneers. They go where nobody has gone before or they do things that nobody has thought of before. So pioneer is the term that we use or you break new ground, isn't it, to come up with something new. So that is one of the functions that you will observe in the apostolic anointing and thereby in the office of an apostle. They, by doing so, what is their intention? They extend the kingdom of God. We are talking about a spiritual kingdom here. So, you know, it's not little that you're taking over regions and geographical territories in the world. That's not, that's not what we are referring to. But this is more of a spiritual extension of the kingdom of God, the way Jesus taught us. He said, thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Then reaching, reaching people, as the great commission says, are going to all the world. So, you know, all the world is the, is the field for us to step into and the apostolic does that. Who goes searching for new communities, new people groups, you know, new territories and, and share the gospel. People who have never heard the gospel before to reach them, to establish all them in the kingdom of God. So now that is also very important in the apostolic. Remember, we said that an ambassador is the closest example, right? That, that we have for the spiritual apostle, because in the, in the olden days, they would send forth an ambassador. And today I think the ambassador, ambassadors, ambassadors that we see their roles have slightly changed. But going back to the times of the early church, they would go to a region, settle themselves and begin to establish the culture, the value, the principles, the standards of their own nation. So, they would do that until they subdued the new territory or the new kingdom. So, you know, if one goes to that place, you know, maybe it was, it had, I'm just, I'm just using some term like a southern culture and the ambassador is from the northern, you know, nations. So, you would find that the ambassador would work in such a way that the entire southern region now has a northern culture. So, you know, that is the biblical understanding when we say apostle, we here are going to bring the kingdom of God such that the principles of the kingdom, the values of the kingdom, the standards of the kingdom are also established. So it's more than, okay, people are saved, wonderful, you know, we rejoice in it. It's taking, moving to the next level and the next level where we are establishing them in the things of the word of God. So, also, you know, word of God, now that I mentioned it, the apostolic has the feature of settling people in the truth and the order of God's word. Yes, and of course, you know, coming, talking about the governmental aspects, there is the administration or the oversight of God's people or local churches. So, keeping in line with this, you know, we'll just try to paint the picture of who an apostle is. Now that we are doing it, I also want to let us know that we may not find all these features in one person. Okay, but it just helps us understand the apostolic anointing. So why is it important to understand a certain anointing when we studied about the prophetic? We said that the revelation gifts are active in the prophetic anointing. So that way, we know that God will reveal his heart and that is why we are looking for it, okay, or we are seeking the prophetic anointing. We know that it will bless the body of Christ and so, you know, we are after the prophetic anointing, we know that it can increase, it can release the supernatural.  Now what if we don't define it? No, it will just be very vague and one is that we will not appreciate it. Second is we won't know how to fully step into it. And that is problematic because when God is doing so much in the world today, it's very important for us to understand and then begin to walk in it. Just take for example the prophetic, where people prophesying throughout history, throughout the ages, very much, they were prophesying. But then the thing is they probably did not have the words to explain what was going on. But as time has gone by, we see that people now have language to describe, you know, dreams, visions, the prophetic revelation that, you know, you need to first receive it and you have to interpret it. So it's only in the last season, you know, I'm just saying season for so that we don't have to specify the number of years. But it's only in the last season that you notice, we're able to describe it with words. And that helps because we can have classes like this where we can equip people with what we know, what we can, you know, define. And so the same holds good for the apostolic. So when we are able to define it, when we're able to understand it, we can pass on the knowledge and, you know, there's a greater opportunity for people to see what God is doing in our day and in our time. And that is why we're making this effort to understand the apostolic anointing and thereby, you know, the functions, the characteristics, the features of an apostle. So just bear with me. We're trying to understand it. So that's the whole thing. And there could be some repetition from the last couple of classes as well. So what do apostles do? Apostles pioneer. They pioneer. So there are some passages of scripture here. It'll be helpful to read at least one. Second Corinthians 10 versus 13 through 16. Would anyone be able to read that? Second Corinthians 10, 13 through 16. Ma'am, can I read? Yes, yes, please. Second Corinthians 10, 13 through 16. I hope you can hear me. Yes, yes. Okay. Second Corinthians 10 versus 13 through 16. I am reading from the ESV in the standard version. But you will not boast beyond limits. But we'll boast only with regard to the area of influence God assigned to us to reach even to you. For we are not over extending ourselves as though we did not reach you. For we were the first to become all the way to you with the gospel of Christ. We do not boast beyond limits in the labors of others. But our hope is that as your faith increases, our area of influence among you may be greatly enlarged so that we may preach the gospel in lands beyond you without boasting of work already done in other areas of influence. Amen. Okay. So thank you, Elasha. Thank you for reading. So that very clearly shows the pioneer spirit. Okay, Elasha, I think there's some echo. If you don't mind, if you could please mute the... Yeah. Thank you. Thank you. Yes. So it shows the pioneering spirit where Paul is talking about the appointment by God to a sphere and that he along with his team have reached the Corinthian people and that they are desiring to keep extending their reach to many other territories. So you see very clearly that they are pioneering or going into new places and from there extending into other new places. So we've got that picture. So if you're going to remember anything about apostle pioneer, pioneer is one word that you must remember. So pioneer and first Corinthians 1228 also has something to tell us. Could somebody please read this passage or this verse? One Corinthians 1228. Can I take that again? Yes, yes please Elasha. One Corinthians 1228. That's Corinthians 1228. And God has appointed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, then gifts of healing, helping, demonstrating and various kinds of tongues. Amen. Yeah. Thank you. All right. So here you notice that God has appointed in the church and it says first apostles. Okay. So what does first mean? First means being those pioneers or the ones who step out of the boat first. Okay. And if you look at the word there first is the Greek word proton, which means first in time or they went first. It can also mean first in order rank or importance. So the understanding is that they move in first, they break ground. So that is their feature or their character. So apostles are first in what first in what first in moving to new territories, expanding into it could be physical territories. You know, the way we have, you know, let's say a country like India, there are so many states, let's maybe the ministry started in one particular state, but then eventually as God's grace increases over that ministry, they have a presence in different states, many states, maybe all the states, and then eventually, you know, touching many nations of the world. So what's happening here? Like you're breaking ground into new territories, you're extending. These are the terms in the Christian circle that we extend the kingdom of God. So this is what it is to move into or begin to impact the lives of more people in new places. Then first in understanding the truth as well or the revelation of God's word. Remember yesterday, I gave an example. I said that we will never try to rewrite what the founding apostles have put in place for us. That's not the new revelation which we are talking about. But we are, we do understand that, you know, God gives depth. He provides, you know, the meaning in a very relevant way for our time and our season. And we find that apostles tend to have this anointing even when it comes to, you know, a new understanding of things, new revelation, you know, and discovering new truths. Okay, so by now you know what I mean by new truths. They pioneer, they pioneer even in this area. And talking about pioneering, you know, they go ahead of others. So this simply means that they are willing to do things first or step in first. Like Peter, he stepped out of the water. Okay, nobody had ever done that before, but Jesus had come. He just stepped out of the water. He stepped out first. So that is the apostolic anointing. That is also, you know, what apostles are like. They pioneer, they receive the truth, new truths, revelation, go to new territories. And also they lead from the front because they have the courage to step out first. Now, because we have looked at 1 Corinthians 12, 28, 12, you know, it seems to give us an order or a ranking. First apostle, then prophets, then, you know. So somehow there is this understanding in the Christian world that apostles are greater than prophets, pastors, teachers, evangelists. But when we study the term proton there, first in time simply means somebody who initiates. Okay, so that doesn't mean that there is an hierarchy in the five-fold ministry offices. A good example for us to consider is the Trinity. We usually, you know, we would say that the Father is greater. Jesus said the Father is greater than I. But then you look at other passages where, you know, the Father and I are one. So when you try to understand the mystery of the Trinity, you recognize that all the three persons of the Godhead are co-equal. So though we say, though we see in some verses that the Father is greater, it doesn't mean that there is an hierarchy, but there is a function that we are talking about. And yet there is a harmony in which, you know, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit co-exist. The Holy Spirit is the helper that doesn't make the Holy Spirit below the Father and the Son. Okay, so there's no hierarchy. Like even when you talk about the Trinity, similarly, when it comes to the five-fold ministry offices, based on 1 Corinthians 12-28, we must not interpret that the Apostle is highest as compared to the other ministry offices. And, you know, it's been interpreted that way, and which is why you, I don't know if you have observed or not, but sometimes people tend to treat people with the calling of an Apostle, you know, much better than somebody who has a different calling. So, but that's not how the scripture is, that's not what the scripture is saying. Okay, so yeah, I think that brings us clarity. We continue to paint the picture of an Apostle. Okay, we understood that Apostle is a pioneer. Apostle is a pioneer. Okay, there is a question. Yes, yes, Elisha. Please. Okay. Thank you, Pastor. Yeah. So, with respect to what you are sharing with Apostles as in, though they not being of higher in rank among the other leaders. In some denominations, it seems not to be the case, because I see the rank very clear, such that you start as an Overseer, you move to pastor, then sometimes even to evangelist, then finally Apostle, Apostleship is seen as the last rank that a person can be promoted to. And I see this as causing others to cut the ground of others, others seeking self-promotion, because of that they do a lot of things that you least expect men of God to do. And I think it should give the body of Christ a course of worry. So if, what are some of the challenges that we think could arise when we emphasise on the ranks among this calling of God in the church? Yeah, thank you, Elisha. As you've shared, that's what I'm saying. The way this scripture has been interpreted, it leads to wrong application and any wrong application will have its consequences. And what could be the effects that was your question? I think the striving for positions, because whenever you say that something is the greatest, it's human tendency to want that. And so among those who are serving God with the given callings, we might have people, let's say I recognise that I'm called to be a pastor, but then I'm told that if you serve well, then you could be an apostle. And so I kind of strive to move towards that and it causes a lot of confusion. So I think that's what would happen. And the other challenge would be that someone who has the calling of an apostle will feel that, hey, God's given me the greatest calling. There's no calling beyond mine. And so if that gets into somebody's head, hopefully it shouldn't because every ministry itself, it means service. But then if it does, then as you said, people end up doing things that should never be mentioned of people of God, let alone a servant of God. So yeah, these could be some of the issues, Elisha. Okay, thank you very much. Yes, thank you. Yes, Louis. Yeah. I can see your raised hand. Okay. Just to add to what you say if you permit me. One other concern I've noticed over time is people use their personal dealings with God as doctrines when they want to communicate it in mentorship and discipleship. So God has taken through a part of training over the years and to you has become a doctrine that you want to teach the people not necessarily the scale of preference what God has set in the word of God. So that's why Paul will say the foundation is the apostles and the prophet. So it's time to put a balance in it. So sometimes you have to be careful not to preach our personal experiences as doctrine or rather to preach the word of God as doctrine, laying the foundations correctly because if you don't do that, the next generation is going to take it as the word of God, which is not the word of God. So by the time we get to like the third generation, we are building something way different from what the father has laid. And sometimes I think that's what we do as pioneers or people that God has set forth into kind of ministries or different kinds of ministries. Thank you, Ma. Yes. Thank you, Louis. Thank you for that observation. That's right. So if you move away from the word and use experiences, that's problematic and it only gets worse as generations by generations move on. So same thing applies even when it comes to the prophetic. I want to make a point here. Dreams, visions, people also talk about encounters and nothing wrong with it. Wonderful. These things are real. People do have encounters. But then what happens is when it comes to ministering to the people and sharing God's word, if I say something like, okay, I had an encounter with God and these things happen, I could be correct. I could be incorrect. Now for the listeners, there's no way to validate. It's very subjective. And I don't want to base the equipping of God's people on my experiences. So the experiences are valuable. We share them every now and then. But as Louis pointed out, don't make doctrines out of it and don't make that the primary content of our ministry. So we really have to be very careful about that. Okay, moving forward here. So now we've understood pioneer and we've also understood that ranking is in time. They are the earliest in time. Okay. So they step in first. So that's how the first apostle is understood, not necessarily a structure or hierarchy. Then moving on to another feature of an apostle is they lay foundations for lasting works. Now scriptures tell us, Ephesians 220, that the church is built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. So when it comes to the apostle, like practically, you would notice that they start new things or they plant new churches. So in a way their work is very important, very crucial and it is very foundational. So their work is foundational and they lay the foundation for lasting work. So you might know of certain movements, church planting movements that were started by a certain individual. Now if you go back to that one individual through the anointing upon their lives, they would have set the standards. You know, God's supernatural power would have been just been shown in a mighty way that set a precedent. Okay. And these are some things are really good. So when they set the standards, they would have set standards of, you know, integrity. They would have set standards of humility. They would have set certain standards, supernatural power of God. Now the entire movement will kind of shape after that. And thankfully, you know, those things will be like a boundary or those things will be like, you know, something that defines what goes on in the ministry or in the movement. Generally we use terms like movements that start off through apostles. So they are, they do the foundational work and they do the lasting work. Then moving forward, you know, apostles execute divine plans on the earth impacting cities and nations. That again, it's quite understandable as God reveals what he wants done. They are the ones who step in and make that happen. Apostles also guard doctrine. Now going back to the apostles of the Lamb and the early apostles. Again, Acts 15 is your example where there was the false teaching that a Gentile also needed to follow Jewish traditions, including circumcision. And that circumcision was essential for salvation. So when you read about that in Acts 15, you notice that Barnabas and Paul, they literally fought with the people who were bringing in this wrong teaching. So the apostolic is also about guarding the doctrine. Sometimes there's wrong doctrine going around and you would find somebody with the apostolic calling rising up, putting the right doctrine out there and contending the wrong teaching that could damage the lives of God's people. So they're very passionate about the right doctrine. Even to the Corinthian church, Paul wrote and he corrected them about their practice of communion. In 1 Corinthians chapter 11, apparently they would just come and it would be more like a party and people would get drunk on the wine. And so he brings sharp correction and he says, please don't do it like this. You need to honour the table of the Lord. And then he continues to say that, okay, this is something that I am writing to you about, but when I come, I will talk to you then. So quite strict because they are very serious about preserving the right doctrine. So yeah, in manners such as these, you will find the apostles and the apostolic anointing work. Then apostles also have a capability of teaching God's word and revealing the truth of God's word. Now what happens through that is that God's people are established in Acts 20, verse 32. Paul spoke to the leaders of the Ephesian church and he said that, you know, I commend you to the word because the word will build you up. So the word has the capability of shaping, nurturing, maturing God's people and which is why the apostles saw the truth of God's word in people's lives. Now if you look at the ministry of Apostle Paul, it's amazing because, you know, he made an effort. You know, you would see him working very hard like an architect.  You know, he spends time in certain places in Ephesus. He spends a couple of years. He spends time in, I don't know what other place, Corinth, yeah, I think so. So, you know, he spends time in different places because he understands the importance of bringing people to a level of maturity in God's words. God's word. And then he also warns the Ephesian church. He says, look, you might have wrong doctrines coming in later, which is why you need to know the right doctrine. Well, so then he says, okay, I commend you to God's word, which will build you up. But the point is also that he did spend a lot of time teaching them God's word. If you look at Paul in the prison in the city of Rome, it's incredible again because it says that he was talking about the things of the church. He was talking about the things of the kingdom from morning to night. How can you, like, what is there to talk from morning to night? There is so much of revelation, so much of truth that needs to be spoken into the lives of God's people. And that is important because it will, you know, give them that standing and establish them in the truth of God's word. So, the apostles have that feature of strengthening people in God's, we call it whole council, whole council, whole council as opposed to, you know, I don't want to use the terminology, but like, you know, we like some doctrines and sometimes the tendency is to teach only those doctrines. Okay, I'm just saying, like, let's say God's grace and I only say God's grace, God's grace, God's grace. Is there anything wrong? No, because it's very scriptural.  Otherwise, you know, it's like, you know, one or two, one doctrine and I'm only teaching God's people on that one particular thing, then I miss out on the whole council of God's word. So, the apostolic is passionate about the whole council of God's word. Then apostles activate and equip believers for spiritual ministry. Obviously, because Ephesians 4 says, why did God give the five-fold ministry offices for the equipping of the saints? Verse 11, so what are these anointings for? Ministry, what is ministry service? We are here to serve. And in fact, if you want to use the term or rank, you know, God has given the greatest rank to somebody as a pastor or a prophet, that's your great servant, that's what it means. So with that should come great humility because we are only here to serve. And what are we here to serve people for or toward? For maturity, we are here to build people up so that they can also do the work of the ministry, so that they can continue to serve God the way God is calling them. So apostles are here to activate and equip believers. Our focus is believers have to mature, and that is what we are working towards. Then apostles raise up and release others. We've talked about this earlier, the way Paul was a father to so many people, you know, he had, he built people up. And what did he do? He observed that he appointed leaders and he just didn't abandon them, but he worked with them to develop them. And at the right time we see that they grew up into a stature where people like Timothy, they could handle churches. So apostles raise up, they raise up leaders, they release them at the right time, and you would see this feature. They continue to connect, they continue to coordinate with leadership. Then apostles establish order in and among churches. Just the way I told us, Paul dealt with the Corinthian church and he wanted things to be done in a proper way. So, you know, apostles will instruct, they will bring God's word and say, hey, come on, this needs to be corrected. We have to move towards purity and holiness and righteousness and all of that. So, they establish God's order. If you consider the writings of Apostle Paul, that's what you would see, order in the family, order in church community, order in the way we treat civil government. So they like to talk about bringing in order, in lifestyle order within the church as well. You know, leadership, how do you honor leadership, who do you appoint as leaders, what should be, what should worship look like. So they speak order into everything.   Okay, so leading will involve setting the standards, spelling out the rules. It also describes somebody who will step into manage crisis. Remember, I said in the Corinthian church, they had an issue of a person falling into sexual sin. So, you know, Paul was there saying, hey, come on, you need to take this up seriously and deal with the matter. Now don't shove things under the carpet. We have to deal with it. So similarly, if you go back to act six, they had a problem of widows not being fed. And two communities could have fought with each other and that could have been a division in the early church, you know, of the first century. But the beautiful way in which the apostles dealt, okay, here's a problem, fix the problem. So they also manage crisis in the church. They make decrease after the acts 15, you know, discussion and the council meeting in Jerusalem. They said, okay, now this word about being circumcised is being taught to the Gentiles everywhere. We have to put an end to it. Let's make a decree. So what did they do? They set things in stone and they said, okay, come on. We have the authority here and we are making this decree that a Gentile or a non-Jewish person does not need to, you know, be circumcised. You don't have to be circumcised to be saved. So it was very clear if the apostles said it, period. That's it. No questions asked. And even if, you know, there was wrong teaching going around, people could go back and refer to the decree which was made in Jerusalem and say that, hey, come on, this is false teaching because the apostles have already said that, you know, one does not need to be circumcised. So, you know, they make things very clear for the body of Christ so that there is no ambiguity. There's no confusion. And, you know, obviously, following wrong doctrine leads to consequences and, you know, destruction. Unfortunately, some of the things can make a huge impact on people's lives. And so, you know, the apostles are very cautious and they make decrees about the right doctrine. Apostles are also the ones to speak to leaders and authorities. We see the calling of Paul right in early on on the road to Damascus when Jesus speaks. He says that you will stand before kings. You will stand before, you know, leaders for my sake. You will go through a lot of suffering. So it was very clear that God would use the apostle to speak to the leaders of the land. Okay, so for lack of time, I'm just stopping here, but I think we are getting, you know, the understanding of what an apostle is. So I still have to touch on a few things in this chapter. We'll do that and then continue in the next class. So let me stop here. Any quick questions? Oh, it's already 9.50. So please don't mind. Hold on to your questions. We will try and answer it in the next class. Okay, so thank you. Thank you once again for being here this morning. Let's wrap up with a word of prayer. I just leave it open. Anyone who can, you're free to pray. Madam, can I pray? Yes, please, Alisha. Heavenly Father, once again, we are grateful and thankful unto you for the grace and the mercy that you've granted us together here under your feet of God to study and to learn about you. Lord, we pray in the name of Jesus, that as we study the distance of God, may you practically pull us into the various ministries that you have called us into, that we will be able to function in the body of Christ and bring people of God to maturity. Father, we pray that Lord, whatever function, whatever calling that you have placed on each of us, may you grant us the grace to be effective and to be efficient in them in the name of Jesus. That on the day that when we stand before you in judgment, we will not be ashamed. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray with thanksgiving. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Alisha. Thank you, everyone. God bless you. Have a great day, a great weekend. See you next week. Thank you, Garam. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Bye. Bye, God bless.


Santa knows where all the best toys are, and this December, many of the Hunter's smartphones are just a penny, with service in Appalachian Wireless. Stop by your local Appalachian Wireless to check out all of the great smartphone deals that consistently top the nice lists. This Christmas is truly going to be bigger and better than ever. Better service, bigger savings, that is. That's today's Appalachian Wireless! This week, police officers from several different agencies have been working to make this Christmas a little merrier for children throughout our region. Today, I caught up with a few Kentucky State Police commercial vehicle enforcement officers making deliveries in Floyd County. We just want to make sure that all the kids have a good Christmas and kids that don't get much or don't get anything. We just want to make sure that all the kids around here that we know have a good Christmas. Several local businesses pitched in and donated food and toys, but Officer Marcelette says the majority of the gifts were purchased by his fellow officers. We came together and decided this is something we wanted to do, so we all put in money together and went shopping. The CVE officers say it's good to see parents bringing their children out to greet them, teaching them not to fear the police. We want all the kids to be able to come to us if something's happening or they need to tell us something. At one stop this afternoon, 11-year-old Zachary informed the officers that he was going to be a police officer himself one day. So Officer Hutchison gave Zachary one of his old campaign hats. The CVE officers spent much of the day yesterday delivering gifts to children in MacGuffin County and say they plan to continue. Just till we run out of toys or run out of money, whichever comes first. So until that happens, these officers will continue delivering smiles to children one stop at a time. Reporting in Floyd County for EKB News, I'm Shannon Deskins.


Hey guys, it's Nate, A.K. The Foot Account, and welcome back to the channel. It's Monday, so it's market outlook time. Let's take a look at what we could be seeing today and this week in FIFA 21. Now, Monday to me is one of the biggest days this week, depending on what happens. There's a lot of rumors going around because now we're really thinking that foot birthday is gonna be this Friday, right? Since it wasn't last Friday, it would really make sense for it to be this Friday. But a lot of people are talking about that icon player pick, SBC possibly coming once again for a huge coin drain right before, again, this big foot birthday promo that is going to be coming. Now, we've had more and more SBCs released. We had the Bender Bros released on Saturday and then yesterday on Sunday, we had three new icons. We have nine icons available right now to grind with SBCs, Zambrata, Ian Wright and Maka Lele. And to be completely honest with you, we'll talk about these. I think they are very, very well-priced. Kind of like how we thought the messy SBC was well-priced for how high fodder is. With how high fodder is right now, these cards are out for 59 days. In my opinion, that means that they're gonna be getting really cheap at some point over time. Like we saw with NedVed and, you know, NedVed and I think it was Cliverts and Carl's Puyol really drop a lot when the foot player days promo came because fodder dropped. There's gonna be a point in the next 59 days where fodder drops again. Maybe next week or two and it's gonna make these prices go down. So I'll talk about that a little bit as well. But first things first, right? What is there gonna be to do this week, right? It's all gonna be hype and stuff based on foot birthday coming on Friday. Now, some people have mentioned, could this start foot birthday today on Monday? We had the foot player days promo, of course, two weeks ago on this day. Do I think it's gonna happen? Probably not, but I guess it's technically possible that it could drop that today, although I'm not expecting it. If there is a surprise loading screen, that could happen, right? The other thing I think is the most kind of big thing that's out there right now is this icon player pick SPC because people are referencing the last time they dropped the 85 times five and they had the upgrade packs out before that SPC came. They dropped the icon player pick the Monday after.  I think it was on Saturday maybe because I think that came out with the Bender Bros. SPCs and that SPC is out right now. So people are thinking that the icon player pick could be coming. But in my mind, since we have the prime icon upgrade that is out and still the repeatable mid or prime upgrade, I don't know if they would drop a third icon SPC upgrade SPC in this game unless they're really, really, really trying to drain some coins right before foot birthday. So I don't know what a percentage shout is for that today. I know a lot of people have invested in SPC fodder and to me, I don't like investing in fodder when it's this high, right? I guess you can trade with it and quick flip it and fodder could rise a little bit today into the content drop on Monday but especially with how high this stuff is I know some of it may have dropped a little bit today especially with squad battle rewards that happened like an hour ago. I'm really just not a huge fan of buying fodder to like invest when it's already this high, right? De Bruyne's won 13. He's already up so much. You look at some of these 86 rated cars, right? 35, 36,000 coins for these guys. Like Jordy Alba was 37, 38K I believe earlier today but like a low for him is like 30,000 coins. So these cards were lower last week and of course during foot player days but they are definitely not low right now. 84s and 85s I think dropped a little bit after the content drop on Sunday because there wasn't a whole lot that came out. We did get icon SPCs. Now of course here what you're seeing is the squad battle supply. So there could be some opportunities tonight to maybe quick flip fodder into the first couple days of this week if you're getting on a low bid or something like that because yes EA could drop some more SPCs. I don't know if it's gonna be a icon player pick SPC but I can see EA dropping another SPC or two to maybe make this get boosted up a little bit or maybe just a player SPC because like mid week this week we don't have Champions League. We've got World Cup Qualifying so it's an international break right now so we don't have a lot of games returning until like the beginning of April is when we kind of have some of those league games returning because of the international break that is gonna be going on. So that just makes me really curious about what is gonna be happening content wise in the middle of the week this week. Now I would expect loading screens and all that jazz for foot birthday because I think right now the market is down right. The market has crashed a decent amount.  I think Neymar is like 470,000 coins which is definitely down. It's right around like 470, 480K maybe rising a bit back up because some people just buy cards on Sunday nights every week but the market has dropped off a considerable amount. Like I was looking at Ruben Diaz Future Stars card today and especially with what has happened with the Bender Bros SPC a lot of the defenders in this game have dropped off. This was 270K earlier today. Some of this stuff is probably getting rare overnight too but if we take a look through not just this team of the week which is still in my opinion getting kind of low right now you take a look at these what if cards. Some of these guys are obviously post game. Dalvin's actually up a little bit. A couple upgrades are happening this Wednesday. That's like one of the most hyped spots of the game right now and I've actually bought a couple what ifs that are getting upgraded. We'll talk about that a little bit too but if you take a look across this game Abom Yeng is 400K. He was like 430. You take a look at the Future Stars team. Fatih is about two million coins. Antony was like 515K this week in league. Bastoni was around 215 to 20. Jonathan Davos was 120K. A lot of these cards have really really dropped off if you take a look at their prices. This Bergwine fluctuates a ton. Barnes was 330 just a bit ago. Kulusevsky was 440. So these cards are still fluctuating because there's not a huge promo that is out. Verano was 700K plus. Sterling was 430 to 440. So it's been a really sizable week and we sell off a small crash I would call it because of all the content has come out. And wow, Holland is 662. He was just 615 a little bit ago. So like stuff is still fluctuating around and there are gonna be ways to trade this week, right? We continue to talk about open bids. Open bids in my opinion are the most profitable method right now in FIFA. Like just going on the market and trading. Icons are down a lot too. Of course, you got the icons like Maka Lele and Zambrata that are down a decent amount today. These guys could bounce back a little bit. I just don't know how much bounce back is gonna be there because there's no week in league, right? With Valak and with Nedved, when these guys had SBCs that came out, they bounced back the next day or two because there was week in league demand for those cards. And right now we're heading into the middle of the week where there is not. So I feel like there's potential for this week to be a very, very quiet one, a very quiet one up until we get a loading screen. I don't feel like you're gonna see the market explode unless EA drops an SBC.  But I don't really think that you're gonna see like the out of packs market. People are just sitting on packs and on just the hope that the foot birthday promo is coming. Now when a loading screen would possibly come this week, I do think that you will see even more panic selling especially on like your gold Neymar, your gold Mbappe, those kind of cards in my opinion, you will see more panic selling on. Well, Harry Kane is 880K. That's crazy low. It's guys down so much. It's nuts. But that's kind of how the whole market is, right? But I do think you will see more panic selling once a loading screen comes and once foot birthday is actually confirmed because people will then know, hey, this promo is coming. And in my opinion, I don't know if you guys agree with this or not. But in my opinion, foot birthday is on a similar par, similar level with future stars, right? And you guys know some of the selling that we saw for future stars, like there was a lot, a lot of panic selling going on there. So I'm kind of buying into this Neuer right now because a lot of people have done the Bender Bros. SBCs. And I think that this guy shot up right when the SBCs were released. So that's kind of a card I'm a little bit interested in. But the other stuff that I'm actually buying into this week is related to what if upgrades. And this guy was 440, now he's back to 455. So up a little bit there on the team of the year. But I'm kind of looking at some what if upgrades right now because if this week is gonna be pretty quiet, which I think it has the potential to be, these cards, especially for traders on this game, right? If you're looking to make coins this week, obviously there's people that are trying to make coins all the time on the market. And you know, people are buying and selling and investing for potential upgrades all the time. I feel like these what if cards, if there's a couple of them getting upgraded this week, Giovic, Mertens, Regulan and Le Meleu, I think those cards are gonna rise up pretty nicely into the content drop on Wednesday when they would get upgraded. That might be one of the biggest things from this week to keep an eye on is because that's where the hype is, right? This Le Meleu card is 85,000 coins, right? He's already up like seven to 8,000 coins from where he was even earlier today. People sold them off after the game yesterday when they scored their goals to get the upgrade. He was like 78K this morning. He's now up to 86, so there's a GG there. Regulan was like 215 when Spurs again clinched the clean sheet. I bought one for 185, 186 earlier and I sold it for 217 and now he's back down in the 190. So I'm trying to get this guy as close to 190 as possible because I think there's a big shot that he rises up more this week into Wednesday. Same thing with like Benzema, right? Benzema is on team of the week shouts again. If this guy is at like 360, I mean, even 370 possibly, I feel like this card goes over 400K for sure in the build up to the team of the week. So that's where I feel like there's a lot of hype this week is with some of those live cards that are getting upgrades. Merton specifically, I mean, this guy might be closer to, he's a very rare and high value card. So he could very easily go to almost a million coins, which right now I believe he was like 890 or 870. There's a couple undercuts there and some open bids. So this is where I'm focusing a lot on right now just because honestly, that's where the hype is, right? And I want to get involved with where that hype is. There's also a lot of hype for SBC fodder. But in my opinion right now, I'm not really interested in trading with that fodder, like at the moment. I got this Rycard for 922 and right now it looks like he's a million coins. So I might list this up for a mil and see if that sells. That'd be a nice flip right there. I don't think you have to be scared about trading icons with the way that things are right now. I feel like this Neuer could easily go to like over 200,000 coins. There's 10K of tax here, so me buying around 200K. 210 is kind of my hoping sell price for that Neuer. We'll see if he gets there. And then I bought two Yo, which is, I got one at 105 and then I had a nice snipe.  So I'm making a couple coins on some of those Neuers and then I do have some regular lines. I think I bought one regular line. Maybe I didn't. I'm not sure where those coins went, but I thought I had one regular line. Maybe I don't. Anyways, I did look into buying some of these cards. And just for the rest of the market, that is so very, very low. Like these rare out-of-packs cards are gonna fluctuate, open bids. I'm gonna say this every single week until the year ends, right? Every single week until FIFA ends with less people on the game, open bids are incredible, right? This Hollam, there's open bids at 600K that you can snag and then you can sell them like right now he's on a high point at like 660, 670. So you can catch open bids there. Just look through these open or through these promo teams, right? Open McConnell, 290. This is how low he was last night or two nights ago when the Bender Bros came out, he dropped off a lot and then rose back up to like 315. Obviously you have 15K of tax here. So if this goes back to 305 and you can get him at 290, like that's a buy potential right there. So as long as there is not crazy, crazy content that is released today on Monday or in the first couple days of the week, this week on FIFA, I feel like you can have a pretty positive trading experience this week. I really feel like you'll be able to make some coins, flipping icons, trying out cards. One other thing that if you're on a low budget, people are gonna be doing this week since we're really feeling like full birthday is on the horizon. You'll really wanna keep a watch out for League SBCs, right? Cause they re-released the other leagues today. They released a Serie A back into FIFA today. And I think there was one other one. Serie A and MLS, League SBCs got re-released with the packs going out. So of course those Silver Surab people are doing these to get the packs. The Serie A one is very popular cause you get that ultimate pack. Obviously Commimole Limited Doris are gonna be very popular to craft as well. So that's something that I would recommend to you doing this week. One thing I would also would do is if you want to do player picks when foot birthday actually does come out, getting on the market right now and going after Gold Commons on bid for 400 coins. Are these guys actually selling by now for 400 coins? Yeah, 400 coins, right? Literally, you could spend even 100,000 coins. If you're gonna do a lot of player picks during full birthday, which I think a lot of people are looking forward to doing, stocking your club with non-rares and rares to get ahead of the game for that stuff, this would be prime time to do that before people start thinking about what could happen this week. But honestly, if this week in FIFA, it's really looking like it could be pretty quiet leading up into full birthday with a lot of speculation. In my opinion, if EA wants to really do it good this week, they could drop a loading screen as early as Tuesday, right? As early as Tuesday, we could see a loading screen. Usually it's on Wednesday or Thursday, but if EA really wanna promo for birthday, it's a hyped up promo. Once we start seeing loading screens, I do think you will see another dip on the market because people will just wanna get liquid. Start building again with the packs. People will start for real getting their clubs stocked with gold rares and non-rares, preparing for those SBCs and stuff like that. Now, of course, one way you could actually pass the time this week and do some stuff on FIFA is finishing up your objectives for icon swaps because the season ends this Friday, but also hop into a draft, right? Hop into a draft. There's an SBC out for a free draft token and you can get cracked out squads like this and maybe get some extra packs for full birthday if you wanna stack a few of those and just play with some fun cards, right? Not saying that gameplay is like a thing you really wanna go after. Apart from week and week, a lot of people don't like to play the game too much during the week, but there are some good objectives that are out. This Gerud's gonna expire on Friday too, I believe, since the season ends. So that's one big thing about Friday. We could have a promo for birthday, new icon swaps or the second set of icon swaps, I should say, and then also the objectives are gonna be resetting. And I think I mentioned that already. I think I forgot what the actual third thing was. Friday will be new objectives, new season, new icon swaps and new promo. So that's kind of what I was going for with that, but kind of the last week to grind this stuff, if you will, I need to get on some of it, to be honest with you, icon swaps, I need to get into some squad battle games which definitely is not very fun, but I need to get in some One Nation Spanish and Italian games as well. I need to do some swaps this week, maybe hop in a managerial masterpiece and do some stuff with that. But again, short term, right? We're thinking today on Monday, just to go over that one more time, if EA wanna drop a madness today, they could. And if you see an icon player pick SPC today, that is going to make fodder go extremely, extremely high. People are gonna make bank who invested in it and there is that potential for that to come out today. I don't know how likely that is. In my opinion, I don't see it happening, but it could. There is a possibility for it, since the stars are aligning from when it happened last time, that would cause major, major, major panic on the markets and I would definitely lose some coins on these cards that I am looking to get upgraded this week, right? Cause I have these Neuers. I'm just investing on those based off of hype. I bought three Diago Jota team and weak cards at 205. I was hoping to maybe see this get rare and go to like 225 again, if there is no content. But of course, if EA were to drop a madness this week, then that would change a lot of this stuff that I'm looking at. That's kind of our only worry. If we get past today on Monday and there's no like promo screen or anything like that, I'm being a little bit risky right now in my opinion with some of this stuff too, especially the Neuers I think, but for the one if stuff, that doesn't seem too risky for me. If they were to drop a loading screen, a lot of people are gonna sell cards and get liquid though. So that's the best way to do it honestly this week is to stay liquid, get in, get out with some quick flips, open bids, trading with special cards, maybe trying to dip into some fodder fluctuations because people will still be doing SBCs this week for sure, trying to finish up Bender or doing the 82 to 88 packs to grind maybe another icon pack or craft any of the other SBCs that are out.

There are both upsides and downsides to living in today's technology driven world. On the upside, technology has had an impact in the research and treatment of mental illnesses. Even mental health professionals use modern technology such as smartphone apps when working with patients. A lot of these so-called eHealth apps are expensive or limited to private use. But we've found five free mental health apps that could help anyone through recovery. Some of these apps focus on tracking your mood or behaviors while others are aimed at a specific affliction like anxiety or depression. Unless otherwise specified, all apps are available for Apple and Android users. 1. Dalio, Mood Tracking, and Micro Diary. This mental health app has a customizable database of activities that you can log. Dalio also lets you customize the names of moods that you can track on a calendar. This calendar is also available to print and color code. You can also create a pin code so that all of your information stays private. A word to the wise, this app may not be for anyone who gets overwhelmed by having too many options. Because there are lots of features to customize and keep track of. 2. Mood Space, Available to Android users only. This app is extremely user-friendly and simple to use. The aesthetics are peaceful yet creative, which gives users a helpful but informal experience. You don't need to create an account to access this app's features. Such is the Three Clouds exercise. Users are instructed to list three good things every day. And push notifications can be set to remind users to complete the daily task. Unfortunately, this app is no longer being actively developed due to a lack of funds, but it is still maintained and updated sporadically. 3. Pacifica, Stress and Anxiety. There are many customizable features on this free app. However, users will need to create an account to access these extensive features. Once registered, users can log their mood as little or as often as they like. The app creates graphs and other infographics based on the information you give, so you can see any patterns that may arise. 4. Calm, Meditate, Sleep, Relax. This mindfulness-centered app helps you focus and relax when you aren't feeling your best. Thorough and high-quality guided meditations help you focus on your breathing or on calming nature sounds. You can strengthen a particular meditation skill through daily exercises as well. Since this is an app that is focused on mindfulness and meditation, it might work best when used in addition to other, more general apps. A note to the viewer, our last app focuses on self-harm recovery, which may be a sensitive subject for some viewers. 5. Calm, Harm. This mental health app is specifically aimed at helping to manage any urges to self-harm. It's focused on the idea that the urge to self-harm comes in waves. Sometimes it rises, and other times it subsides. This app aims to give you the tools to help you successfully ride the wave. When a user feels the urge to self-harm, they can select from a customizable menu of activity categories that range from comfort to release to breathing. After completing the activity, the user can track progress and create a personalized activity list for the next time the urge arises. While all of these apps give users a unique experience, there is no right or wrong way to give yourself a little extra tech support during recovery. Which app do you want to try? We want to hear from our viewers. So we invite you to let us know what app works best for you.
