We're gonna find out and more because she'd be reading my hands in real time and telling you more about yours So I want to start right here at the get-go talking about power, but specifically I want to talk about Soft power. I want to talk about the secret of soft power. Don't you love the sound of that? I do love the energy of soft power. So what is soft power soft power is something that talks about kindness That's about respect That's curiosity That's loving our heart Because soft power acts as a really powerful force and I know because you felt it at times You've had it received it from other people it creates a lot of good as opposed to the hard power that surrounds us all the time hard powers like Powerful. I'm gonna succeed. I'm gonna use force. I'm gonna use intimidation I'm gonna use dominance is all these really temporary advantages and what is that about hard power is really about fear Right. It's not about real power It's about putting on some kind of mantle or identity of power And it doesn't create a lot of good out in the world. God knows it does not feel good in our beings. So Soft power instead can you make a choice right now to exist from that today? And if you love it today to choose that every day, let's talk about soft power because on the other hand Soft power is this ever-present awareness It's an awareness of our being it's awareness of a being that supports and connects all of us If we're all energy and we're all one and we are truly all connected So please stop acting separate because joe ain't You actually are a part of I'm you you're me etc Even this gorgeous water bottle. Thank you bernay musaccio for this crystal water bottle gift with the sacred geometry on it This plant this crystal these you know, I could point out so many things in my space because we come from that place of understanding Compassion receptivity. We remain in our strength We remain empowered and while we can find common ground with each other and mutually agreeable solutions To all of life's conflicts and challenges right now. We can choose Soft power so the thought that I give you for today should you choose to accept it is my strength Lives lies in my being my strength lies in my being It was st.

How did you get into this because You know, I didn't even talk about all of what you do But I have to say I was super blown away by all the modalities that you've Gone after that are part of your wheelhouse that are part of probably the huge soup that you offer people But they're these cool cutting edge modalities. I don't know how you had the time to do all of them But how did you get attracted to specializing in so many things? Well, um, it's fun. You mentioned the access consciousness because that's actually one of the things i'm certified in I noticed and I love that modality It's fantastic, especially for people with mental blocks. It works terrific Um, but yeah, I I think I've been a healer Probably my whole life and I just didn't realize Until I started reading hands That that's what I am. So now I just kind of all clump it together in the term heart harmonizer Because I I do believe that if we can heal our heart And if we can move past all of the subconscious influences and blockages We can open up the life that we want And it's all about that that dare to dream right? It's it's we can we can open up to dreaming a new possibility for ourselves I love that dreaming a new possibility and stepping into a new possibility and especially around love and dating You know for a lot of people that's prevalent. They may have had a relationship or been in a relationship It's not been successful divorces. It's on the up and up. We all know or people are still in relationships We're not really happy there or I know a lot of beautiful articulate people out in the world like I just can't find that person So talk about that. So why for you did dating become your thing in love? well, I've been a palm reader for the last 10 plus years and I would say good 40 percent 30 to 40 percent of my readings Were Relationship oriented or focused So I definitely had that perspective already with all of my clients over the years But how it really happened for me was going through my own relationship traumas I was married for 19 years and then I got divorced And that was incredibly stressful. I ended up with vertigo for nine months And I couldn't drive a car. I I couldn't eat It was horrible I couldn't travel. It was it really just knocked me completely flat on my back And then I got into what I consider a fatal attraction relationship, which was A great lesson. I look back on it now and every I consider everything as a lesson for growth and learning And so I I learned a lot in that that went on enough for about two years And all this time I was healing myself and working on myself And then I eventually found my who I consider one of my soulmate matches And I'm happily remarried now and I've I just had my two-year anniversary Yeah, so now I feel like hey, I have a perspective That I feel like Not only from the hands and all these years of studying hands But now I have a perspective to really Guide people through the whole journey because I've just gone through it all myself Right. Yeah, it's important when you've had your own dark night of the soul I think it makes you a way better teacher And leader in whatever your field is if you have a deep understanding of the dark night of the soul and what your clients go through it makes your Wound become your gift right your mess become your message out into the world So using palmistry then Cynthia How does somebody know what's the right emotional type for me? How would I know that? How would you know that? Yeah, so your the whole system that I came up with Didn't come overnight for sure. It took several years actually to develop and Really figure out. Okay. The hands don't just tell us You know, a lot of people think it's going to tell us how many kids we're going to have or when we're going to die or things like that Which is actually not true Okay, because your hands your hands actually have three different aspects to them So they're very complicated Number one is they have fingerprints Which form five months before you're born and they never change so that represents your soul imprint Okay, so you can think of that like the big overview of looking at this lifetime and what you wanted to experience And that also affects your your relationships Okay, then you've got your hand shape which forms by the time you're about six years old So you you can think about being like a little baby to being about six years old You're completely in your subconscious mind at that time And you're absorbing everything around you and your hand shape isn't set until your personality starts to gel And that's about age five or six. So that's going to show you your subconscious personality traits and your influences that are going to impact you for the rest of your life And then you've got the lines and everything else in your hands that is changeable And so you can think of the lines like rivers of energy They ebb and flow based upon how you are using your free will So for example, if you are really stressed out or if you are struggling with your work That's going to show up in your hands and that's going to reflect Through some of the stress lines in your hands. You're saying that it let's say someone's going through a period of stress So there'll be stress lines that show up But once that event is passed will that go away and leave the hand? Wow It will and I've I've tracked people over the years and I've seen the changes in people's hands and it's amazing You see that So it's it really gives you um hope and empowerment that yes, you can Affect your life and you can change things and things are not set So we have the fingerprints We have the shape of the hand and then we have what's inside of the hand The only thing that never changes is the fingerprints correct Yes, and for the most part also the hand shape that's pretty well set by the time you're about six So it is really interesting to kind of when you do an analysis of the hand you overlay all of these things together And that can really give you a good idea of who you're compatible with every single person by the way has soulmate matches And there is a system And I've I've actually automated the whole system into the dating website So that I don't have to read every single person who comes through They can find out who their archetype is And who their matches. So it's it's pretty cool Okay, so I think we're going to launch into this because now I'm Yeah, I'm even seeing people are writing here Wild and how crazy this is and it's exciting crazy. I love it So we're going to launch into a little bit of this because uh Cynthia asked for my hand prints. I have no idea what she's going to say They'll pray for me y'all And I was so hoping it would come out. It's a weird thing. Like you get that weird ink. I feel like I'm with the fbi You know But I just want folks to know who are just tuning in. This is debbie dashinger. This is an award-winning podcast dare to dream We've been around over 12 and a half years I am speaking with the amazing Cynthia Clark and she's a certified palm reading consultant and founder of palmistry world And a dating app based on on your hands y'all So you can find and evaluate and get your compatible matches So much easier than filling out. I like long walks on the beaches Her website is love in your hands dot com. Okay, so right before we launch into this I just want to get a little background for people Palmistry has been around my darling for over 5 000 years, which I find incredible It's the oldest modality, right because the hands reflect the soul the personality the archetypal Influences it's basically the roadmap of the aspects of who we are Right, absolutely. Yes. You can think of your hands like a mirror And it's looking at you and all the different facets and aspects of you And once you learn how to read it, which I consider Um, I consider palm reading a language It's like learning a foreign language And at first you're just like, whoa, what is this whirl and swirl and you know, what are these lines and where's everything going? It's so confusing And I think that's where a lot of people get tripped up is it's it is confusing when you first start looking at hands But there is a language to it and once you learn that language it starts to make sense And the more hands you look at the more it makes sense and then the hands are talking to you and they They have they take on a life of their own and every single person is unique, which I love And it's like it's the combination of everything that that is you So it's it's truly an amazing science and study So Cynthia, have you ever looked at someone's hand? To give them a reading and suddenly thought oh my god I saw somebody else's hand and you guys would be an incredible match. You could be soulmates and connect them Well, yeah, I suppose that is true That could that could happen for me by the way to let me know That could happen for sure But that's why I try to give people into the dating site so that they can they can actually Have that right there and it'll match people and you can also What's cool about the site is in the membership area you can upload as many hand Pictures as you want so you just take a digital picture It doesn't even have to be good quality And you can determine. Okay, it's this person a match for me or not So you just have to get a picture of their hand How do you do that? I mean so like I'm thinking about a an old it's an old word for me Anywhere the xerox machine or like a printer that has a scanner because I had tried as you know to take pictures in my hand with my My cell phone and it was ridiculous. This hand was shaking. I couldn't get the details We ended up doing the ink prints. But what do you recommend people do? Well, I recommend somebody else take your picture because yeah, that'll keep the camera a little bit steadier And just make sure you get the whole hand. So, you know, it's important here I'll kind of show myself like this. But yeah, you want to have the whole hand Because that what we're looking at is the relative Hand shape so the finger lengths and the palm shape and things like that So that's really all you need for the purposes of the dating application if I'm reading for you Then um, yeah print is perfect like I got for you debbie Or I need a high quality Print so I need either a really good quality digital photo Or a good scan, you know, there's different ways to to get a good copy Yeah, it's all about copy people people whether you're marketing or websites or doing palmistry. It's all about the copy so I'm gonna let you take it away because this will give people a feel for if and when they come to you for a reading or if and when they use your dating site at loveinyourhands.com What this is like what they'll receive so I'm sort of excited and a little trepidatious. I have to be honest to hear what you're going to say But mostly excited, so I'm going to let you take it away Yeah, sure. So so when somebody uploads a digital picture of their hand, it's the computer will take you through Just a few questions not very many And it will determine your archetype. Okay, so there are actually 22 different personality archetypes And so for the purpose of the site, uh, we only have you upload your dominant hand So you have two hands. Okay, you have an active hand And you have a passive hand Your active hand is going to show more of your outer self. You're developing self Your passive hand is going to show more of your inner your subconscious self Also, potentials will show up on your passive hand So just upload one hand for the purpose of the dating site When I read for people, however, I do read both hands Yes, there are things that I like to look at on the two hands Number one being the fingerprints and I do need to see all 10 Fingerprints in order to read the map of the soul Okay, so otherwise I have an incomplete map Okay, but so yeah, so the first thing we look at is the hand shape And debbie you happen to have Short fingers and this is relative to your palm. Okay, so it's it you would never compare your hands to someone else's hands Okay, and also by the way one type is not better than another So some people think oh, I got a little short fingers and that's bad. It's actually not bad. It's just your type. Okay By the way, short fingers are an indication that you're better at seeing the big picture of things Okay, so yeah, you're you're more of a a broad perspective type person when you have shorter fingers Okay, now the second thing we look at is your palm shape. Okay, you've got Actually a pretty square palm So I would categorize you with that combination as an earth hand Okay Now an earth hand person is very practical very busy always stuff going on Can't keep up with earth people too much They they're just super They're very loyal type people They they don't necessarily have a ton of friends But the ones that they have are usually lifelong And they're very loyal and stable in that way So if you happen to If you if you happen to be friends with an earth handed person Chances are they're gonna stick by you when things get rough and you know, you can count on them To back you up. So that's some Excellent qualities of the earth person Now Debbie, I would also recommend for you to balance yourself. You need to connect with nature So, you know, whether even if it's just like closing your eyes and imagining that you're on a beach or you're You know up in the mountain or whatever it is, but even just a few minutes a day can balance you A lot of earth types also like gardening and things like that like they literally get their hands dirty and in the dirt That's a really good easy way to do it Or cooking is another you'll see a lot of chefs who have earth hands because they love to cook So it's a good quality So then we look at your fingers now each finger represents a different aspect of you Okay, so to identify your archetype. We look at what is called the strong finger Okay, so We don't look at the thumb in this case because we consider the thumb actually separate from the fingers The thumb actually represents your willpower Okay, so the bigger and stronger and stiffer your thumb is the more willpower you are going to have And by the way, your thumb looks nice and strong. So very lovely thumb No shocker there Yeah, definitely not And looking at your fingers your index finger also known as the jupiter finger is actually what I would consider your strong finger This is index. Yes the index Okay, your your your trigger finger And it looks like you also have a ring on that finger Which also further adds to the energy of that finger So you're actually augmenting the strength that you already have which I consider that a really good thing Yes, absolutely And in this case jupiter is representing Leadership Okay, this is how you look at yourself It represents your power. So I loved how you started the show with the soft power. I'm like, oh, wow This is so bright in the alignment with her reading I love this um, because this combination of earth and jupiter creates the archetype that I call the emperor Okay, now the emperor is about practical leadership Okay, so it's that earthiness that brings it into the real world and it's that jupiter that brings it outward and it has that bigger vision so in terms of um, every single person has it what I call a relationship genius And so when you embody your archetype what that means is that you have the opportunity to be in balance with Your true nature and you have the ability to share that with others Okay, so in your case as an emperor Your relationship genius is that practical um Just guiding somebody else in that leadership role So you need to be in charge So in terms of a relationship you need to be in charge and you need to be somewhat autonomous So I need to stop you there So as a lead so leader is different than love So as a leader no problem 100% being in charge leading other people guiding. Yes, an autonomy on my word freedoms everything But with love is this also bridging over there or the emperor? We're just talking about career Yes, it bridges into love as well So for you for a best partner for you You need to they need to allow you to be the emperor They need to allow you to be autonomous and kind of take the lead And so you need your best match by the way, it's actually a water hand Okay, because your earth earth and water are Harmonious so that would be somebody with long fingers And a long skinny palm. Okay. So I kind of an arrow hand. That's actually your best match And they would have a strong middle finger Okay, so instead of your index finger, it would be their middle finger would be the strong finger So in other words the two like when you put the fingers together The two fingers next to the middle finger wouldn't come up to the halfway point on the upper flange Okay, so they would just they would be way below Okay You can tell the strength of the middle finger And that is the archetype known as justice Okay, so a justice person is going to be very flexible all water types are very flexible And for you as an earth you bring stability For that person because you're earthy So But their flexibility means that they're not going to try and control you because that's when you get really You know like your your cockles will come up and go I don't want that So they can flow with you and around you and it doesn't bother you And it works harmoniously So that's how the system works And you you would do well with other Water types as well So they don't necessarily just have to have the strong middle finger, but that's your very best Match And that would work. I call that the soulmate match and I consider You know, you can have many different soulmate matches, of course, you don't just have one Because it's a hand shape that we're looking at But when you can connect to that type of partner and you can actually Allow each other to be who they are That's what's important because it's going to open up everything in your life It's going to allow you to be on purpose. It's going to allow you to thrive in your career and in your you know Just everything is going to impact everything else and it works so well And that's what I want for everybody. So there's a Quote actually this is from the bible about palmistry, which I love and this is a Hebrew book of Job And the quote is god caused signs or seals on the hands of all the sons of men that the sons of men might know their works So palmistry is in the bible I'm gonna I can't even do chapter x x x v i i like I can't even anymore But it's verse 7 anybody is interested And so if if it's even in the bible that we have an imprint So we might know our works of what I heard you say earlier was our purpose out in the world Why we're here that our soul had great design for us and it's here I would love you to tell me so If you could just illuminate some important factoids what what am I supposed to be doing? I mean I think I'm doing it, but I also Constantly feel on my life path. It has not been a one and done It has been an unfoldment and I am in the midst of yet another one And so I always feel the energy of it I've got an awareness of it and god knows and literally god knows I am a hell yes, which is a fun thing to say god and hell in the same I'm a heck yes Like I'm being led. I had to do this in order to do that, but I'd love to hear you fill in some specifics So I know way in Yes, I was going to lead into your fingerprints next So yes, I love that So okay, so just so everybody knows about fingerprints. They're actually 14 different types of fingerprints So there's over 10,000 different combinations that can occur on any When you look at the combinations of people's hands Some types of fingerprints are more common than others But it doesn't make them better or worse again. So this is something I like to stress it's like just because you have a common fingerprint doesn't mean you're common or You know, you're less important or whatever. It doesn't work like that It simply is showing the soul's agenda Okay, so debbie in your case you have 10 loops on your hands One of which is what we call a radial loop meaning that it opens up to The thumb side of the hand as opposed to the pinky side of the hand That one is located on your right hand on your ring finger Okay So 10 loops but one radial So this puts you into a category we call the school of love Okay, so on a soul level you came to experience love and closeness And you and that's I love where this again this soft power comes in. It's like the emperor with love It's what I would call you When I look at the combination And so you really are here to connect your soul In many different capacities and facets And you do that through emotional authenticity The loops represent the water element and so yeah, that's where you need to be emotionally authentic In other words not stuffing your feelings not exploding them but actually allowing yourself to feel everything that you are feeling And being okay with whatever comes up Okay, so that's your that's your soul's agenda and what you're working to master And and also I look at this is also what you're demonstrating to a partner to others So professionally and personally You're helping them to open up emotionally authentic energy Okay, this is what you're all about And your purpose is that little Radio loop located on your right Apollo we call that the Apollo finger the ring finger And we this is what we refer to as the master of creativity Okay, so Apollo is like the god of the sun, right? He's the one who carried the the chariot across the sky carried the sun across the sky So when you think about that, it's like okay, your sun energy is tapping into the unique aspect of you and showing it to the world Okay, so it's like your specific contribution so In your case being creative is just part of who you are and That's what you need to do because that's where you feel good. That's what makes you feel good It's your you can think of this like your happy zone Okay And I love that it's a radio loop too because it again it ties right in with that love energy of you You're so open to others Like it's all about helping others and making a connection The key for you is to Make sure that you're also being true to your level of creativity and what you specifically want to contribute That's authentic for you So just asking yourself. Yeah, do I do I want to express this or do I want to tweak it? Or how do I want to do it? And so that's tapping into your emotional authenticity And you know it can change of course it can change like you mentioned over time And it will change over time Because as you learn your lessons and as you go through the the different emotional gamut You're going to learn something from each of those experiences And it's going to push push you right into a new level of creativity Is there anything I need to know that really stands out? Whether it's the shape of the hand what's inside the hand or the fingerprints anything that's Really of import. I don't care if it's love. I don't care if it's my hair. I don't care if it's Where I should be living or anything but something that like This really is indigenous to you and important for you to know As a guiding light or something to watch out for or something you don't even know about yet I'd be interested in that Yes, there were several things that I noticed about your hands. Actually, um, you have square hands Uh, you had three palmer prints as well. You had two loops of productivity, which means again, you need to be busy and productive That's just your nature Um, no escaping that Um, you also you have common sense to which by the way, that's not in everybody's hands So lots of good common sense You have a loop of intuition Tied in with what we call a Persephone headline It's a headline that curves very deeply into the palm and you do not think like most people do So, I mean out of all the hands I looked at, you know, um, this type of Uh headline it's called is not very common So you're you have a headline very similar actually to einstein Who was also a very deep thinker Okay, so that's kind of fun. You have something in common with einstein and Yeah Who would know that but yeah, so a deep thinker Also ties in with your secondary archetype, which is the moon So you need to really tap into that intuitive side because you have a very strong intuitive side And it can apply to you've got these things called rings of Solomon on your passive hand Which wrap around your uh jupiter finger and that represents emotional intelligence So your deep thinking can really lead to an empathy gift Leading to helping people to really get through their emotional stuff And that's something that you naturally embody Um, I do see a little bit of heartbreak trauma your heart line is a little bit broken Which is totally normal and you also have a low set little finger Which means that you would like to have more connection You are seeking more connection and more closeness And it can come from childhood where you may not have gotten that in childhood So the low set little finger is actually pretty common So it just shows that you didn't get that when you were young And then your lifeline is um not having to do with how long you're going to live But it shows that it actually is kind of going over towards the luna mount as well Which is an indication that you are not connected to a specific location Okay in terms of like you may live in a like the same place your whole life or not But emotionally you can connect wherever you go Yes, kind of a great quality. That's very true Yeah, I consider that a positive thing to see in in a in a lifeline So you can just kind of make your home Even when you're on the road Which is kind of fun That is very true. And I thank you that's I I appreciate you saying that You know, I'm a canceran with a Scorpio moon and a Leo rising which is really an interesting combo platter So especially the canceran is a nester a home person a home body And I've always been fascinated. I mean, I have great love for travel and I as you said the busy also manifests and I love going to events and just I love experiences and connections so much So I can easily go someplace and that's home And I've often thought how interesting for a canceran to be able to find a nest In so many different locations and circumstances and I do love that quality And then sometimes it's actually weird to come back home and be like, oh This is what it looks like here. It's like with totally fresh eyes So that's very very true I want to ask you a little deeper about the Persephone line because you said that's very unique And I want to know a little more. What does that indicate? What are the inherent gifts there or indications? What needs to be done with that or how does that manifest? well I find it interesting to see that on an earth hand because those two normally wouldn't go together Because most earthy types are really practical, you know, you know, they're just in their day-to-day physical world But you take it to another level with that Persephone headline. You like to contemplate the deeper meanings of life Come on And that's what you're all about And and you can bring it into the practical That's your beauty. That's your gift of the combination of the earth with the Persephone It's a beautiful combination So whereas if you were all water, for example, you would probably just keep it in your head or you know I don't know how it would come out. It might not come out at all But with you you can kind of go in and you can mine the the gifts of the deep And things that other people would simply not see and you can feel it Like this is how it comes through. It's like that emotional knowing And very instinctive So you've got to trust those instincts more than anything because you have that ability to pull it out And you're going to be right on target I still need to I keep and I don't know the question But I feel it around what you're saying. I'm so grateful. It's so apropos right now With what what feels like it's unfolding with what you're saying And and if you could give me something deeper spiritually about this How might you advise someone like me to go forth and multiply? No, it's a joke How would you recommend somebody like me? Okay, girl Persephone headline Like now's your time. How could I take this forward? How could I? I know it's there. I completely concur with everything you're saying a thousand percent But something else is coming up for me around this at a deeper level than ever before And I love you to speak to that. How could I Allow this to be even more than ever before What exploration what invitation what should I look for me or out there? Yeah, I mean I would suggest as an earth person The best way that you could probably connect to this is through the physical so either through nature or through Connecting with the earth. So maybe going to sacred sites might be really good for you I don't know if you've traveled to some sacred sites, but I feel like you would really tune in When you are in a heightened sacred site Um, I mean I live in Sedona now. So we're surrounded by all these vortexes And I love it But I could see you as this earth person like you could really physically connect Another thing I would recommend for you is crystals Um connecting with crystals. I think would be yeah, there you go That's going to really work for you working water with rose quartz in it right now. So how Perfect and I'm surrounded.

What are some fun things that we can look at to learn a little bit about ourselves Well, one of the things that's really easy to look for is your giving versus receiving energy So that's always good for relationships, right?  The lifeline is the major line that wraps around your thumb ball and that's your venus Okay, that's your giving energy Now this is really big and puffy that shows a lot of giving energy Okay, so That um, you can think of it as your heart chakra energy as well So you can see the quality of your heart chakra And you can also squeeze it and see how much available energy you have. So if it's really Uh, what I call elastic. That's what we want to see In other words, it bounces back. It's got some, you know, it's got some energy to it Um, if it's if you squeeze it and it kind of collapses That means you're tired That means probably you've either been giving too much Or maybe you are You just don't have a lot of energy right now to give And it could be because you're stressed out in work or whatever reason Now if it's too big In other words, if it looks like grossly out of proportion to the rest of your hand Uh, that's it's that's a sign that it's overstimulated and you could be prone to addictions Because this is what we also call like your sex drugs rock and roll mount So if it's really big and puffy and it's like huge, it's like wow your appetite is Too much. Okay For the balance on that section of your hand Now your receiving energy is luna. Okay, so we talked a little bit about luna That's the far side of the hand Which is um at the base of the hand as well And this again you want to look for the puffiness. This is your area of receiving Okay, so if you Yeah, you look puffy you look healthy Is it healthy receiving? I love to receive by the way Debbie I was going to say your hand is very balanced On both your giving and your receiving side. That's amazing. I'm so happy to hear that. You have no idea Yeah, it looks really good So what you want to look out for is droopiness in this mount Sometimes it'll literally drop into the wrist like that's not a good sign And another sign to check for is redness or blotchiness That's the recognition that your receiving energy is spent And I've seen it a lot of times on people who are caregivers They they just they don't they can't receive because they're so busy taking care of somebody else So take a look at that section and you want it again just to be kind of a healthy pinkish color and And puffy but not too puffy now if it's overly puffy again, so we look at the too much side That could be somebody who's not in reality Okay, so that could be somebody like they're very imaginative, but they're not necessarily In a good way like they can't bring it back to you know the reality So that can be problematic obviously So those are two areas that people can check for Pretty darn easily Which is kind of fun So a reading with you when people sign up for reading with you Is that an hour and do you give them? Do they get materials to tell me what that's like? Yeah, so I work with people worldwide So you don't have to be in Sedona to see me Which is Certainly I've got a lovely space here But yeah, so people can sign up for as little as 30 minutes if they want to do you know a shorter reading Or they can sign up for Coaching I do you know some ongoing coaching type work Or if they want to do an hour, they can do that or even a three session It's kind of like the middle ground like do I I do quite a bit in three sessions We look at everything in your hands We may combine a little bit of tarot with it as well And and some coaching so coaching slash healing So I can I can bring in some of the modalities that I that we talked about as well. So that's kind of fun Oh my god Okay, I that is so cool. So this is where your modality is because you can really Give an incredible overview and matrix with people like I'm really feeling the energy of that How powerful I'd like to start with the hands and then I can go into the healing after that because I can see where the blocks are And I can see where the stress is and then everything shows up in the hands What about somebody who's in a relationship because I was thinking even as you were Doing my reading and saying who I should be with and I'm trying to picture my boyfriend's hands and I I'll have to look at them for sure today but Would would we both send you fingerprints handprints, etc. Then you can talk about Yes holes. Sure. Yeah, absolutely. I've done lots of readings for couples And yeah, it gives a whole new insight into what each partner needs And you know what their natural strengths are and it's it's a lot of fun It really and I think awareness brings compassion As well because it's like, oh, wow, it's in their hands.

Dr. Koch of Turkey Creek passed away Sunday after suffering a brain aneurysm last month. Koch came to the area in 1980 and worked with a local vet. He branched out on his own nearly 30 years ago. He owned and operated Tug Valley Veterinary Clinic in Williamson. To this community they've suffered a great loss. Dr. Koch has so many people, so many animals. I'm going to be dizzy. I don't know what I'm going to do for another vet. Employees say Dr. Koch worked with many rescue organizations and even rescued a few animals whose owners could no longer afford to keep them. He would take in dogs that were sick. I could not count over the years how many dogs he had that had three legs. People would come in, their dogs would be hurt. They wouldn't be able to afford the surgery to fix it. If the dogs had to be amputated, the dog would do that. If they couldn't afford to keep the dog, they would give them to him. Maynard, who worked with Dr. Koch on and off for 13 years, says she believes Dr. Koch had over 17 dogs at one time. Employees and clients alike say his loss will be felt throughout the entire community. Dr. Koch was a great guy. He was not only my vet, but he was my friend. I respect and admiration that I feel for Dr. Koch. He's immeasurable.  Per his request, there will not be any services. Dr. Koch was 64 years old. In Williamson, Shelby Porter, EKB News.


There are three objectives of this program. The first is to explain how to identify equipment requirements and establish an economic fleet size and mix. Fleet planning. The second is to explain how to monitor the utilization and performance of the fleet. And the third is to outline procedures that assure that each unit is replaced at its economic life point. Economic replacement. This videotape covers the details you will need to provide your organization with the right equipment units at the right time at the lowest cost. And monitor the performance and cost of those units so as to schedule their replacement at the right time. There are seven basic steps in the fleet planning process. One, establish assignment and utilization policies and procedures. Two, define individual user needs. Three, develop total equipment requirements. Four, define and analyze alternatives. Five, develop a comprehensive fleet plan. Six, incorporate the fleet plan within the overall fleet budget. And seven, obtain approval of the fleet plan and budget. First, you should develop assignment utilization procedures. They must be established prior to developing any formal fleet planning process. There are a number of procedures which can be used, such as 24-hour assignment to individuals. Generally, these assignments are made to top administrators, law enforcement personnel, or managers subject to 24-hour call, such as maintenance foreman. Also, pooling of sedan motor pools or heavy equipment motor pools can help reduce fleet sizes, but both must be effectively administered. If heavy equipment pools are used, it is a good idea to assign one operator to the same piece of equipment. Interdepartment temporary transfers can be used successfully if affected department heads fully understand the need for the program and support it. And the plan transfers are communicated to the department managers well in advance, so they know when, how much, and what type of equipment will be transferred, if trained operators are available to use and maintain the equipment, if you have an effective preventive maintenance program, and if coordination of the program and the fleet planning process is assigned to a specific individual within the department. The way in which rental rates are structured can provide an inducement to managers to transfer out equipment when it is not being used. With a two-part rate where the user is charged an ownership rate, the user is paying for equipment which isn't needed. Temporarily transferring out the equipment would save on the budget. Leasing can be an economical alternative to owning equipment. But some agencies have procurement procedures which may make leasing difficult. It should be considered as an alternative, however. Utilization objectives must also be considered. Low utilization may indicate that a vehicle should be pooled instead of assigned to a specific department. To ensure a uniform definition of equipment service levels, definitions must be adopted or modified for the system. Some key utilization terms are typically used. Nominal availability corresponds to a calendar period or to the number of shifts normally worked in that period. Availability equals nominal availability less downtime. Utilization rate equals time in use divided by available time. Time in use includes transport time as well as time in use on site. Utilization standards must be flexible to accommodate different needs. For example, pickups used by complaints investigators may have very high mileage. Pickups used by maintenance personnel may have moderate mileage. And utility inspectors may log very low mileage as they generally travel to one job site and remain there all day. Although their mileage is low, time in use is high. Some recommended guidelines are shown here. However, each agency needs to develop its own utilization rates based on its specific needs. You should also develop downtime objectives. The objectives shown here represent an average, well-managed fleet. You should also define individual user needs. The user should communicate needs in a specific, uniform format as shown here. Next, the fleet manager must analyze user requirements separately and in total to optimize fleet size. The requirements must be summarized by equipment class as shown here. After needs have been identified, the fleet manager must determine alternatives for meeting user needs. There are four possible alternatives to meet peak user needs. Fleet pooling, which is most effective for sedans, temporary transfers. Generally, heavy equipment falls into this category. Leasing or renting is particularly effective for specialized, high-cost equipment with low utilization, such as grade-alls. And buying new equipment and expanding the fleet. It may be cheaper to own the equipment. This option must be analyzed too. The fleet plan should cover assignment policies, number of units, and other key data. Incorporate the plan into the budget process using utilization policies, user requirements, total fleet requirements, analysis of alternatives, a comprehensive plan, and incorporation of the plan into the budget. Next, you need to consider the equipment inventory. The equipment inventory component is made up of four elements. Equipment numbering and classification, an equipment master file, location and assignment tracking, and utilization and performance monitoring. With a proper equipment numbering classification system, each piece of equipment should possess a unique number that remains the same throughout its life. Each unit should also be assigned to an equipment class for planning purposes and for comparing its performance with similar units in the fleet. The American Public Works Association, APWA, has developed an alphanumeric coding structure, as shown here. Another good system is to develop a six or seven-digit number, depending on your fleet size, that incorporates a class code along with a unique number, as shown here. The class code should be established as a hierarchical number that can be used to classify and subclassify equipment types. Consider the example shown here, regardless of whether you have an automated or manual system.  The file should consist of two parts. A master record and history files. And don't forget to keep a backup file. A history jacket should be established for each equipment unit that contains all pertinent information about the unit. The jacket should contain the birth certificate, work orders, accident records, and other pertinent information. In designing an equipment tracking system, there are a number of guidelines to follow. The tracking system should function simply as a tracking system. Do not try to mix it with utilization or performance monitoring. These are handled better in other components of the system. Maintain the inventory files for primary assignments of equipment units. Establish a policy of updating the files only for long-term assignments. For example, in excess of one month, do not try to be too specific. It's very difficult to try to maintain equipment inventories down to specific maintenance crews, for example. Generally, inventories at the department level are sufficient. Establish an equipment location board for individual departments to use. They can track equipment location, and the board is helpful for them in maintaining visibility of their total inventory. A magnetic board is good for this. The replacement component of a system is usually the last component to be implemented, since it requires detailed cost data. It is comprised of four main elements. Replacement targets, physical evaluations, the decision-making process, and the capital replacement plan. Each of the above system elements requires a six-step planning process. Step one, identify units targeted for replacement using industry norms. Step two, obtain replacement requests from users, submitted in priority order. Step three, perform physical inspection to determine whether the unit will remain in service or be replaced. Step four, evaluate alternatives, leave the unit in the fleet, replace it, or overhaul the unit. Step five, prioritize replacement units. In case the budget does not allow replacement of all units, the top priorities can be chosen. And step six, develop a total capital replacement plan, which should become a part of the overall annual fleet plan and budget. In this course, we've covered fleet planning, inventory control, and economic replacement. In the next series of courses, we will cover other components of an equipment management system.

The accuracy of four global digital elevation models, DEMS, was evaluated at five key locations in the European part of Russia. Errors and morphometric parameters were compared between DEMS and more accurate data, 1,10,000 maps, as well as remote sensing data. Slope models SRTM CSIR and AW3D30 were found to be more consistent with the reference model, while ASTRA GDEM V.2 was the most accurate. This article was authored by I.A. Shatkin, K.A. Maltsev, G.F. Ginnitinova, and others.


And then we get Mary's great song, The Magnificat, verses 46 to 55 of Luke chapter 1, which as I said before, is regularly sung in Christian churches all over the world, which is the more interesting because often in Christian churches that sing this song, I don't think necessarily take it all that seriously in terms of God routing the arrogant through their own cunning, hurling the rulers down from their throne and raising up the humble from the earth. This is the message which Mary sees. And what we find in this song is all those great prophecies in the Psalms, in Isaiah, in the other prophets of God putting the world right, of God confronting a world full of arrogance and power and wealth and carelessness and brutality, and God turning it all the right way up. And Mary says, that's what's going to happen through this extraordinary event of me having this son and my cousin Elizabeth having her son. They have no idea how this is going to work out. But that's the dream. So what God is doing through the spirit and power is fulfilling the covenant with Abraham, verse 55, just as he said to our long ago ancestors, Abraham and his descendants forever. Luke wants his readers to know, he wants the whole Roman world to know that what is happening in Jesus is not some weird vaguely spiritual or religious event. It is the long fulfillment of Israel's story, the story which began in Genesis 12 when God called Abraham a childless nomad and said, through you and your descendants, all the families of the earth will be blessed. That is the messianic vision. But that blessing will mean things being put right, things being sorted out, the arrogant and powerful being put in their place, and the meek and humble and the oppressed of the world being set right. We have to remember this again and again as we read through Luke's gospel. Luke is showing us in those many stories about Jesus, which are really very familiar to those who are used to through church attendance or whatever, to hearing bits of the story read out. Luke is saying, when you hear Jesus healing this person, when you see Jesus doing something over here or teaching about this, what this is all about is the fulfillment of that song of Mary. This is how it's actually happening, close up and personal in order that then by the spirit, after Jesus' death, resurrection and ascension, this may be the theme which Jesus followers take to the ends of the earth.


Hey there lads and ladies, welcome back to the channel, today we're going to be diving into a game that is generating a lot of buzz, Firewall Ultra. I am your host Petrifying Pumpkins and today we're going to talk about 12 essential things that you need to know about this exciting title. Firewall Ultra, developed by First Contact Entertainment, is a PSVR2 exclusive title set to release on the 24th of August this month. It's primarily a tactical online PvP multiplayer shooter, but it also comes with a PvE mod that promises to be a refreshing addition to the franchise. The game will be available in two editions. So the standard edition is going to be 40 dollars and 40 euro and also 35 in sterlin, whereas the digital deluxe edition is going to be 60 euro, 60 dollars and 50 pound sterlin. And if you do go for the digital deluxe edition, you will get access to certain bonuses, including a special legendary weapon, early access to four contractors, four exclusive outfits for the contractors, four camouflages for weapons and an up pass for the first operation. So the main mode of Firewall Zero Hour is called Contracts and it makes a return from the predecessor Firewall Zero Hour. This mode pits four players against another four players as they both attack and defend a laptop. If you're interested, the risk is high, but so is the reward. Now while there's little information available about the co-op slash PvE mode, First Contact Entertainment have promised that it's going to be something a little bit different from the previous incarnation that we had in Firewall Zero Hour and it's definitely an aspect of the game worth keeping an eye on. If you're familiar with Firewall Zero Hour, you will recognize many of the contractors and maps making a return from that game. Now these contractors each have their own unique skills, however the one new contractor that we know about is called Havoc, has a combination of two skills that were available in the first game, so that hints at possibly some exciting changes in the skill system for Firewall Ultra. Firewall Ultra is set to run in Unreal Engine 5 and that should bring about some significant improvements both visually and performance wise. One of the major improvements is the move to dedicated servers which should put an end to the host issues that were experienced in Firewall Zero Hour. In response to player feedback, the main mode contracts will now consist of a best out of three formats that should maximise gameplay and minimise the amount of time that people spend wazing around in lobbies for the matches to start. Speaking of the lobby, the game's lobby has now been transformed into an interactive environment that you and your friends can hang out in. You can check out your weapons at the shooting range or you can mess around with novelty systems. Soccerball was given as an example by First Contact Entertainment. If you're interested, the risk is high, but so is the reward. Firewall Ultra is taking full advantage of the PSVR2 hardware and the sense controllers utilising features such as haptic feedback and adaptive triggers. While some people would be disappointed to hear that manual reloading will not be there at launch, there is set to be a mode releasing post launch called Ultra Mode and this will be like a hard core type of mode which will allow manual reloading and stuff like friendly fire. Expect eye tracking to play a significant role in Firewall Ultra, not just to improve visuals with foveated rendering but also for gameplay features such as selecting isomes in a weapon wheel, aiming your grenades and even blocking flashbang effects by closing your eyes before deadneds. With the power of Unreal Engine 5, lighting has been overhauled in Firewall Ultra. It's one of the features that First Contact Entertainment themselves continuously have been highlighting. This will allow for maps to be darker than they were in Firewall Zero Hour and also make way for the functionality of flashlights and night vision goggles. Opening up new strategic possibilities that were not available in Firewall Zero Hour. Keep in mind that Firewall Ultra is going to be a digital only release at least at launch so hopefully fingers crossed there will be some kind of a physical release not too much further down the line. While much remains a mystery about Firewall Ultra, I think it's pretty clear that First Contact Entertainment are going to be pushing some boundaries when it comes to Firewall Ultra and what the PSVR2 can do. With its PSVR2 exclusivity allowing it to take full advantage of the hardware and the promise of all kinds of exciting new features, this is certainly a game to keep your eyes on. Be sure to stay tuned to this channel before launch for any new updates or information that's made available. And there you have us. 12 essential things that you need to know about Firewall Ultra.

Shalom, welcome everyone to class. Thank you all for joining the class on our study on the book of Titus this morning. We looked at the introduction to the book of Titus last class, last Friday. Now we begin studying Chapter 1. Before we study Chapter 1, can one of you please lead us in prayer, please? Anyone can lead us in prayer? Shall we pray? My dear Father, we want to say thank you this morning for the gift of life. Thank you all for everyone. Thank you for our pastor. Thank you for the end coming on this section of this lecture. Father, we give you all the glory. Thank you for the beginning and thank you for where we are. Father, we commit our lecture into your hands today. Father, may we be your doers of your word and give all strength and increase the wisdom and knowledge of our pastor in the name of Jesus. Thank you, my Father. In Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. Not able to hear all of you. I think I need to disconnect and then reconnect again. So, I don't know if I should do that or just continue with our class and then maybe do that in the second hour. Okay, so if you have any questions, any doubts, you can post it in the chat section or if you want to say something, you can say it and then maybe Jeffina can just repeat it out for me because she's just sitting in front of me. Okay, we'll begin with chapter one. Can one of you please read verses one to four, please? Titus chapter one verses one to four. Anyone like to read? Titus chapter one verses one to four. Paul, a born servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ. According to the faith of God's elect and the acknowledgement of the truth which occurs with God in his hope of eternal life with which God who cannot lie promised before time began. But has in due time manifested his word through preaching which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our Saviour. So Titus, a true Son in our common faith, grace, mercy and peace from God, the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen. Thank you, Jeffina. Okay, so we'll begin with verse, y'all can hear me clearly, right? Okay, thank you. Okay, so Paul, a born servant of God and an apostle of Christ Jesus. So Paul is basically following the letter writing customs of his time by writing, putting his name first, basically saying who's writing this letter. And then, you know, he goes on to give his greetings and in this letter to, you know, to Titus, it is basically written to the Christians on the island of Crete as well, even though it is specifically addressing Titus, but also, you know, this Paul knew that this letter would be read publicly among the churches on the island of Crete. So in the opening part of his letter in the introduction itself, you know, Paul is taking great care to tell the believers or to tell the churches at Crete what his credentials are and where he stood on important issues. Okay, so that is why he says Paul, a born servant of Christ Jesus, an apostle, a born servant of God, an apostle of Christ Jesus, according to the faith of God's elect and acknowledgement of the truth which, which accords to godliness. So the word he uses here, born servant of God, you know, when Paul chose to call himself as a born servant of God, he's basically used choosing to use this ancient Greek word called doulos. And this word doulos basically means a slave, and it's a word that is only designated to a low slave, somebody who's a very low slave. Okay, and it's also he's saying that he's a born servant, which means he's made himself a slave by choice. So we know that, you know, God makes his provision for slaves in the Old Testament that, you know, on the seventh year they are set free to go, but if a slave loves their master very much and their master's been very nice to them, kind to them, you know, then the slave can choose to work the rest of his life for his master.  So here we see that Paul is saying that not only a slave, but also born slave by choice, I've made myself a slave, because he's saying that I'm someone who's completely surrendered myself to the will, to the authority of another. And so Paul chooses to be a slave who has surrendered his will and authority to God. So Paul is saying that though I've chosen to be a born servant, yet, you know, he's saying that he has a high place, because he's a born servant of God.  And then he says he's also an Apostle of Christ Jesus. I'm not going to explain this phrase, Apostle of Christ Jesus, because I've explained this when we studied 1st Timothy chapter 1 and 2nd Timothy chapter 1 as well, okay. So we move on according to the faith of God's elect and the acknowledgement of the truth which accords with godliness. Now if you look at the Passion Translation, the Passion Translation renders this verse as, I'm writing you to further the faith of God's chosen ones and lead them to the full knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness. So this gives us a better understanding. So basically Paul is mentioning here his mission and his mission is to further the faith of God's chosen ones and the knowledge of the truth that is in keeping with godliness. That is what this phrase, according to the faith of God's elect and the knowledge of the truth which accords to godliness meets, okay. And then he says, according to faith of God's elect. So God's elect are those whom God foreknew even before the foundations of the world who would choose him and receive his salvation. And those who receive salvation do so by exercising their personal faith which is prompted or empowered by the Holy Spirit, okay. So we can all identify with God's elect because we have responded to the gospel of Jesus Christ or we've responded to salvation and we are living our lives after that gospel, okay. And then he says according to faith of God's elect and acknowledgement of the truth which accords with godliness. So what does this phrase with accords with godliness mean, okay. The aim of God's truth is to promote what? What does it aim to promote? What does scripture aim to promote in us? God's laws, commandments, what does it aim to promote in us? It says here in this verse, aims to promote godliness, right. Because it says with accords with godliness, okay. So the aim of God's truth is to promote godliness in God's people. So Paul's ministry and mission as an apostle was to preach and teach the gospel to the body of Christ and to establish the churches in sound doctrine, in sound faith, in the knowledge of the truth. So this was Paul's mission and focus and this should also be the mission and the purpose of the church today. This should also be our mission and our purpose for ourselves today. Because our need should be to promote the development and the growth of mature faith in God's chosen ones which is his believers.  Verse 2, Paul says, in hope of eternal life, which God who cannot lie promised before time began. So basically Paul is stating that his ministry and apostleship in the interest of the faith of God's chosen ones and their knowledge of the truth that also promotes godliness rests on the hope of eternal life. Okay, so everything that we are doing to build people in the truth, in the knowledge of truth, you know, is to promote godliness and this rests on the hope of eternal life. In hope, the word hope here is not just wishing for something or just hoping that something will come true. Hope, basically the Greek word for hope means, you know, confident expectation and anticipation. So it's a confident expectation and anticipation. And why are we having this confident expectation because it rests on the promise of a God who not only does he not lie but cannot because of his perfect and holy character. Okay, so that is our confident expectation because it rests on the promise of a God who not only cannot lie but also because he is holy, he is perfect in every aspect in every area of his life.  And it's not something that believers will possess only, you know, on the day that we die and seek God face to face when we believe eternally with him. But it's also something that we realize now and we can live now and experience now. And this reality of this eternal life can become a present tense reality in us when we are born again. And that is what John chapter three was 36 promises us that the one who believes in the sun has eternal life.  So eternal life is something that we experience here and now in the present, even though it's a eschatological hope, but it's also a realized eschatology. That means we can realize and lift that hope of eternal life here and now in the present. Okay, and then he says which, which God who cannot lie. Okay, so there are two points apostle makes here the reality or the truth of God and the eternal nature of his promises. Okay, and God cannot lie means God is free from falsehood, or it's used as not guilty of falsehood, or, you know, he is always truthful. Okay, so the literal meaning here is God who is free from all deceit or falsehood. So when we saying that God cannot lie, it's basically meaning that he is free from all deceit or falsehood and also that he is truthful and trustworthy. Okay, so how wonderful that our eternal life rests on the truth of a God who simply cannot lie, who's completely truthful and honest. Okay, and he says that this is something that he has promised even before time began. So Paul goes to show or tell us that this eternal life that is promised was not, you know, a momentary decision or some point in history or time and God made this decision that came into his mind, or it did not come into his mind after man's sin and, you know, sin to control over him, like we read in Genesis chapter three, but this promise stretches back to eternity past even before the foundations of the world. Okay, verse three, but has in due time manifested his word through preaching which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our savior. Okay, so what does Paul mean by saying, but as in due time manifested his word. Anyone like to throw some light on this? What does Paul mean when he says, but has in due time manifested his word. I think it actually means that there was a promise in Genesis chapter three that the Christ was going to come and they Can't hear you. Yes. Please go ahead Lou Bega. What were you saying about the meaning of what Paul is saying in due times manifested his word. I was saying that we know very well that when they talk about the what they are three or two parts to this sentence according to my simple analysis. One would be in Genesis chapter three, God promised that the Christ would come and we call him when you read in John one, one, it means the word was the Christ. And again, it was in due time that God decided to give Paul a chance to be a coworker in his kingdom. So when you we all know that it was the Judah either before I mean was the was the Sunday's peace or a forest was the forest. But on the road to the mass cast God appointed him and took him in Arabia and trained him so that he can also be preaching the word of God. So I think this is the line in which we think he is meaning. Thank you. Yes, thank you Lou Bega. Anyone else. What is Paul basically meaning when he says but has in due time manifested this word. I'll just share my thoughts. Maybe Jesus being manifested in the human format. He was the word maybe that's what he's talking about but he also says through preaching, which could be like us preaching about Jesus. I'm just sharing whatever it comes in. Thank you. So if you need to look at any verse and understand it, we need to understand it in the context and also what this comes before it or after it. So here, you know, in in verse two, he's saying the hope of eternal life, which God who cannot lie promise before time began. So eternal life was something that was planned and completed thing in the heart and mind of God, even before the foundations of this world. So when Paul is writing and continue to talk about this in verse three, he's saying but has in due time manifested this word. He's saying that while salvation was eternal life was, you know, something that got purposed and was settled in his heart in eternity past. You know, with the lamb being slain, even before the foundations of the world, Revelation chapter 13 was eight, even before Christ came to the earth and he died on the cross. Even before that, you know, the lamb had already been slain. You know, it was already the work of salvation, the work of redemption was already completed done thing in the heart and mind of God, even before it took place in history. So Paul is saying, you know, it was a completed thing in the heart and mind of God. Yes, it happened at one point in time. And the proclamation of this, that message was made known in God's own time according to his own purpose. That's when Jesus came the fullness of time, the Chairos moment. So in the Old Testament, there was an anticipation of the salvation message through the prophets and through the tabernacle, the priesthood, the sacrifices, everything that God had instituted, everything pointed out to the Messiah, which spoke about Christ, the work he's going to do, the work he's going to fulfill, the work he's going to complete, everything was pointing out to Jesus, the Messiah would come. So everything that God instituted on the Old Testament was actually pointing out to Jesus Christ, the person and work of Jesus Christ. So with the coming of Christ and the witness of his life, his death, his resurrection, the message was actually not only being made evident by these historical events that were happening, but it has now been even more made known through the world. So Paul is saying that, yes, all this was completed, done thing in the heart and mind of God. And at the right time, the Chairos moment, Jesus came, he fulfilled everything, he did everything, what was spoken to the prophets, what God instituted, the tabernacle, the prophets, sorry, the priest, the sacrifices, Jesus did everything. And now he's saying it is time for us to preach and teach about this and make it known to the world around us. So at Paul's time, when Christianity came into the world, it was a time when also was the right moment, the Chairos moment, because it was a time when it was uniquely possible to spread the message of the gospel of Jesus Christ very rapidly. And that's why we see the early church, the gospel was spread very rapidly and quickly because there was one common language that was Greek. And the Roman Empire was very, very vast and I hope you've heard the saying that says, all roads lead to Rome. So travel was, it was somewhere very easy, there was, traveling was very easy for, to travel like, you know, travels very easy in Europe, when you go to Europe, you can just travel to various cities in very less time. And also the world was very conscious of its need for a messiah and a savior. Okay, so William Barclay, the commentary writer says, there was never a time when the hearts of men were more open to receive the message of salvation with the Christian missionaries brought. So we see that Christianity came into a world when it was the right time and it was uniquely possible for this message to be spread rapidly. And so Paul is saying that, you know, yes, it was planned, even, salvation was planned even before time began in eternity past, Christ fulfilled it. And Paul knew that preaching is the only way that God's eternal work or Paul's, or God's work of salvation or redemption could meet people today. So preaching is the only way that God's word is made evident or made manifest, okay, or made a reality, a very tangible reality, a presence for people when God's word is preached. When what Christ has done on the cross is preached, it makes it very evident for people. Okay, and he says, Paul says, which was committed to me. Okay, so I'm just reading that, but has in due time manifested this word through preaching, which was committed to me according to the commandment of God our savior. So Paul viewed this message or the proclamation of the salvation message as a treasure, which was entrusted to him, he says it was committed to him. So the Greek word committed means to have faith to entrust. So the meaning here is to be entrusted with something which is a privilege and a responsibility to proclaim this message. So Paul knew the work of preaching was entrusted to him as not only entrusted to him only, but it is committed to all believers. Okay, because the great commission Jesus told us to preach, teach and baptize the name of the Father, Son and the Holy Spirit. Okay, so here in Titus, the Apostle becomes an example to Titus and to the believers at Crete or to the Cretans and to us. The message of the Savior is a treasure that we have received, okay, for safekeeping. And even as it's a treasure that we have received for safekeeping, it's not something that we need to hide like we, you know, keep all our jewelry and our very price possessions hidden and very carefully, you know, in lock and key. So it's not something that should be hidden in a safe deposit box, but it's something that has to be proclaimed and shared with others. But why is he saying that it's a treasure that is kept given for safekeeping? Any idea? Why is Paul saying that this message of salvation is a message that has been deposited to us, is given to us as a treasure for safekeeping? Any idea why he says that? I think of all that we have learned in the book of Romans, 1 Timothy, 2 Timothy. Hello class. I don't think it's a very difficult question. We've been talking about this over and over again. Why is a gospel message given to us as safekeeping? If someone can try, what has basically Paul been talking about in 1 Timothy? Is warning Timothy against whom? Okay, the false preachers. Yes, false preachers and false teachers and he's saying God, the doctrine that is deposited to you is given to you. Okay, so we are supposed to, you know, is a treasure guarded and keep it for safekeeping. But it's not something to be hidden in a box, but something to be shared with others. So this God is given trust, given us to proclaim this message and it's not a take it or a leave it matter for Christians. It's not an option for Paul. It's not an option for Titus, for Timothy. It's not an option for you and me. You know, and we have this great commission where we are asked to be disciples and with a trust, a command given by the savior to preach and teach and to baptize all believers. Okay, and then he says God our savior. So Paul identifies God as our savior and this is a very, very title that's very close to our heart that he's our God, he's our savior. And it basically stresses the very nature and the heart of God that he's one who's concerned with man's salvation, man's salvation. Or he's concerned with, you know, the sin's penalty, the power of sin and the presence of sin in our lives. And that is why he died and he set us free from the power, the dominion and of sin and of death and Satan. Okay, so that is what he's, when he's talking about eternal life, he is saying that it is, his God our savior. Any questions before we move on to verse four? Any doubts? Just a little more explanation on when you said eternal life is realizing a scripture. We realize it now. So how do we actually put it in practice? What is our view on it? Just let them know the explanation. Okay, eternal life is a what? We say eternal life, what do we really mean? I always thought it's a life that I have to help him. So, but we also understand that we are going a little bit eternally because, but yeah, I'm quite confused. Okay, so when you talk about eternal life, what do we really mean? Even when you think it's a futuristic hope? We believe there is no power of death over this, some has more power over this. And we believe there's no pain, there's no tears. There's no sickness, there's no pain. Yes, so when Christ died on the cross, he broke the power of sin, power of death and the power of Satan. And what does Paul write in Romans chapter six? He says we are no longer the power of sin over us is, you know, no longer operative. You know, it's rendered powerless, inoperative. We have the life and the nature of God. Okay, so we have and we receive eternal life. We have the life and nature of God in us spirit man. Yes, our flesh is still the same old flesh, our soul, our mind, our emotions is just the same. But we will see the life and the nature of God in our spirit man. Okay, so for us to, which means that, you know, we can, so it's not only when we go to heaven that we experience power over Satan, but also Paul writes in Romans chapter six, our spiritual identification. How do we spiritually identify with Christ? Yes, we are, we spiritually identify with his death, his burial, his resurrection, his ascension and then seated outside. So what does it mean that when we are seated at the right hand of God? It basically means that we have authority over every dominant powers of Satan. So we already are there as spiritual identification is that. So we operate from that. What do we mean that when Christ ascended, we also ascended? What does it mean? It means now we look at everything from heaven's perspective. So we already have the life and nature of God in us, which means that we have the power to say no to sin. We can overcome sin. We can overcome temptation. Yes, we will have sickness and suffering, but, you know, God has given us the weapons that we can, and the promises in his word, the weapons that we use to fight against Satan to overcome sickness, pain, poverty, you know, and to walk in that, the fullness of that eternal life. It's not something, yes, it's a futuristic hope. It's an eschatological hope. Eschatology means something way into the future. So it's eternal life is an eschatological hope, but it's also realized eschatology. Something that we can realize now and live. We don't have to just go to heaven to and wait to overcome Satan. We can even, we have already overcome Satan because Hebrews says that Jesus is the captain of our salvation. He has won the victory. We have already won the victory. We have dominion. He's given us everything that we need for life and godliness, all the weapons that we need. We can also walk in the power of the Holy Spirit like Jesus did. That is why Jesus set us an example. He actually look at Jesus's life. It's a taste of eternal life what he lived. But did he go through sufferings and hardships and difficulties? Yes. But did he enjoy the fullness of the God kind of life? Yes. Did he do the will of the Father? Did he overcome temptation? Yes. Did he do science, miracles and wonders? Yes. Did he have joy, peace? Yes. So we can experience all of that here and now and not just wait until we go to heaven. Of course, that is in the perfect sense. But this is also in a very realized way that we can experience. We can experience God's move, His provision, His joy, His peace even in the midst of turmoil and difficulties and pain just like Jesus slept peacefully in the storm. You know. So also we can. So all of those things is something that we can still real experience. Okay. Okay. Thank you, Jeff. That's a good question. Anyone else? Okay. If not, we will move on to verse four where Paul saying is writing to, he's saying he's writing this to Titus, a true son and a common faith, grace, mercy and peace and God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. Okay. So he's saying Titus a true son. He's basically tight. Paul had a relationship of and looked at Titus as a son because he was somebody who mentored him and helped him to grow spiritually and released him for the in the service of God. Okay. And also says in our common faith, that means Paul and Titus had a father son relationship because of their common faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. And by using this term common, the Apostle is reminding us that which we hold in common with all believers that it's our faith in Jesus who is the Lord and Savior of our lives who, you know, holds us together as one in Christ. We are the body of Christ. We are one in Him. Regardless of the places we come from, the languages we speak, our race, whatever, we are all one in Christ Jesus. Okay. So also that, you know, in Christ Jesus, we have brothers and sisters in Christ. And some cases we have spiritual fathers and mothers. And, you know, it is this common faith that provides us the basis for harmony and communion. And then he goes on to say grace, mercy and peace. This is something that is we've already studied in 1st Timothy chapter one. I explained this in detail in 1st Timothy chapter one. So I'm not going to look at it again. And then he says from God, the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ are Saviour. So, you know, grace, mercy and peace comes from God, our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ are Saviour. Okay. Explain all this in 1st Timothy chapter one. So I'm not going to go through this again. And then we'll move on to verses five to nine. If anyone has any questions you can ask or doubts. And then we'll move on to verses five to nine. Any questions, any doubts? Okay. Then can somebody please read verses five to nine of Titus chapter one please. For this reason, I left you in a crate that you should set in order the things that we are lacking and appoint elders in every city as I commanded you. If a man is blameless, a husband of one wife, having faithful children not accused of this petition or insubordination, or insubordination, a bishop must be blameless as a steward of God, not self-willed, not quick tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money, but hospitable, a lover of what is good, sub-minded, just, holy, self-controlled, holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exalt and convict those who contradict. Amen. Thank you, Lubega. So Paul is saying for this reason I left you in a crate. So Paul left Titus behind in a crate to basically stabilize the churches there and look for qualified people who could take over leadership positions.  And Titus had this responsibility to find and train good, eligible, capable leaders for the churches in this island of Crete. So he's saying set in order. The Greek word for order basically means to straighten further, to correct in addition. That means when Paul and Titus were in Crete they did a certain amount of work at Crete but now Titus has to continue on this work and because the work has not finished Paul felt the need to leave behind Titus there. So Titus was to continue his work and not leave the work behind and go away anywhere else because if he does that it would be like giving birth to children and not caring, just caring for them for a little while and it would just basically look like abandoning them or leaving them at someone else's doorstep. So Titus had to preach and teach them so that they can grow spiritually and he can also point godly leaders and build those who were childlike in their faith or babes in their faith. And he says set in order the things that are lacking. Now if you compare the work of Timothy in Ephesus and Titus in Crete it shows that there was much more lacking among the congregations of the home churches at Crete because Paul specifically or specifically told Titus to set in order things that are lacking and we don't see any such command to Timothy. And then he says appoint elders in every city as I've commanded you and then he gives the list of qualifications for the elders of the bishops and I'm not going to explain in detail verses 7, 8 and 9 because this is something that we've already looked at in 1 Timothy chapter 3 and I've already explained to you who is a bishop, who is an elder and all of those things and what it means to be self-controlled, hospitable, not violent, tempered self will not given to wine. I've explained all of that in detail. So I'll just mention here that in verse 6 he talks about domestic qualifications. He says if a man is blameless, the husband of one wife, having faithful children, not accused of dispassion or insubordination. And then in verse 7 he talks about personal qualifications. He says for a bishop must be blameless as a steward of God. Let's not self-fill, not quick tempered, not given to wine, not violent, not greedy for money. And then in verse 8 he talks about positive qualifications but he must be hospitable, a lover of what is good, sober-minded, just, holy, self-controlled. And in verse 9 he talks about the doctrinal qualifications. Holding fast the faithful word as he has been taught, that he may be able by sound doctrine both to exhort and convict those who contradict. So he basically is talking about these are the qualifications that you have to look for in a leader or elder or a bishop that you are appointing in the churches at Crete. So, Jefina's question was, was Titus also as young as Timothy because Paul calls both of them and his sons just out of curiosity. Yes, I think both of them were young. I think when Paul left Timothy at Ephesus, you know, he was somewhere in his 30s. Yes, so it is believed that Titus also was young much like Timothy but their specific ages are not given in the biblical texts but because he calls both of them as sons in the faith it basically, you know, talks about his closeness and also that they are very young, yes. Okay, so in verse 9 he talks about the doctrinal qualifications of a leader and then he also has mentioned positive qualifications and other other qualifications that Titus needs to look for in a leader. Okay, so we'll move on to the characteristics of false teachers in verses 10 to 16. So in verses 6 to 9 Paul basically lists out what Titus must look for when he's appointing leaders and Paul lists the qualifications and we saw it can be divided into domestic, personal, positive and doctrinal qualifications and then he goes on to talk about the characteristics of false teachers in verses 10 to 16. So can one of you please read verses 10 to 16 please. For there are many insubordinate, both idol-talkers and deceivers especially those of the circumcision whose mouths must be stopped who subvert whole households taking things which they ought not for the sake of dishonest gain. One of them a prophet of their own said, This testimony is true. Therefore rebuke them sharply that they may be sound in the face not giving heed of Jewish fables and commandments of men who turn from the truth to the pure. All things are pure but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure. But even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know God but in works they deny him being abominable, disobedient and disqualified for every good work. Amen. Thank you, Lubega. So in verse 10 he says there are many insubordinate both idol-talkers and deceivers especially those of the circumcision so he begins this part of the letter by saying four. So in this section he's introduced with this word four which gives the reason why elders with doctrinal qualifications are needed which Paul mentions just before this or he mentions or describes in verse nine are needed. He's saying look for people with doctrinal qualifications why because he says there are many who stand opposed to the truth. We read this in verse nine and verse 14 as well and he says these people who oppose the truth are insubordinate which means that someone who will not submit to God's authority. Okay. And we know that God has established authority in various areas of our life whether it is the home, in the church, in the workplace, in the community and God wants us to recognize authority that is placed in our lives and he wants us to submit to that authority. Okay. We'll stop here and we'll come back after the break and continue. Thank you everyone.
