Young Lion, I hope you will also Learn the lesson from this Reasoning I made to the I before. If you Learn it, it will be easier to overcome your difficulties, because you will do more work to Rise yourself, instead of imagining that you are already one of the 144,000 in your present state.


===============================================================================
Young Lion, a little while ago, you said
---------------------------------------------------
while i was watching the Scrucialites and Luciano song ''So Glad I Found'' it stopped and i felt a spirit telling me i am one of the 144,000. it truely is a great joy and i was outside smoking a cigarette and a felt the joy of the Lord. So any Rastafarian 144,000 saints can give me advice and guidance on my livity
---------------------------------------------------

I replied to the I and said,
---------------------------------------------------
The I should spend more of your focus on making your ways closer to God, then focusing on such vanity. For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.

---------------------------
Luke 14
[8] When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, sit not down in the highest room; lest a more honourable man than thou be bidden of him;
[9] And he that bade thee and him come and say to thee, Give this man place; and thou begin with shame to take the lowest room.
[10] But when thou art bidden, go and sit down in the lowest room; that when he that bade thee cometh, he may say unto thee, Friend, go up higher: then shalt thou have worship in the presence of them that sit at meat with thee.
[11] For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.
---------------------------

144,000 Saints
---------------------------------------------------

The I didn't even acknowledge what I said, or what I said in I follow up Reasoning, but instead just made more topics about your vanity.

Do you really think that One who is part of the 144,000 is a person like this, as you say:

-----------------------------------
Because no matter how much I try i am not perfect, i think in my head and i think wickedness continually, i have no rest in my soul, i have anger why am i suffering like this, i'm mad i'm in a evil shitsdem, i know christ said forget thyself, take up the cross and come, but where do i go? I'm in hell
-----------------------------------

No sin shall enter Zion. That is the Truth.

As I said, the I should spend more of your focus on making your ways closer to God, then focusing on such vanity. For whosoever exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted.


This is your faith young lion
-----------------------------------
Because no matter how much I try i am not perfect
-----------------------------------

When you have faith in failure, then what you are saying is complete truth, no matter how much you try in your whole life, you must fail, you will never become One with Selassie I, it is impossible for you.

Read the Reasoning below, it will show the I more about what I am saying.

-----------------------------------
Some time ago I attended a bible study of a neighbour and friend. I attended the study once or twice to represent RasTafarI and observe the works.

After the studying of the scriptures, the men went to one side and the women went to another. Both groups were supposed to ask for something to be prayed for in the church. The requests were written down, and what I Iverstand from what they told I, the requests would be read in the church and the people of the church would pray for it.

One man asked for help finding a job, another asked for a promotion at their workplace, another asked for help in their studies, similar types of things were also requested of the others. When it came to I, I asked them to pray for more peace in the world, and for people to not suffer. I was told that I was supposed to ask for something personal and one bredren said, "don't you have anything thay you need for yourself".

I said that anything I need from Jah I just ask Jah. I told them that I didn't need others to pray for I.

The bredren then asked, "don't you think that there will be more effect if the people at the church prayed for it", I told him that it was not necessary and that I just have to ask Jah, because I faith and trust is in the Most High.

He said, "but don't you think that there is more power because many people are praying for it". I told him that it didn't matter how many people say the prayer, if a man trust in Jah, then all they have to do is ask. I showed him that I faith is in Jah and I know that all I need to do is ask Jah for what I need.

The bredren persisted with this idea for some more time so I told him that it was truly necessary for the other people and himself to get their prayers answered by having a large number of people praying, but that it wasn't necessary for I. I told him that it is necessary for him and them because that is there faith. But that I have all I faith and trust in Jah, so all I have to do is ask for what I need and RasTafarI will give as RasTafarI chooses. I told them that it was better that they pray for others instead of praying for I.

Prayers with Faith

Hello,

In regards with the sabbath, didn't iyesus teach us sabbath was made for man and not man for sabbath, so its ok to do good works on the sabbath. We tewahdo treat sunday as a holy day also because this is when our lord was risen from the dead, so we celebrate sunday. I could of stayed home and read my holy bible but i went to go help my grandpa in need and luckily my aunt worked close to him and now i'm with my family sharing love and good vibes, preparing for a holy day at church tommorow morning. To each his own i guess, some may find it more comforting to stay at there homes and think about God on saturday.

To Ark I, how do i conquer these wicked forces? I spent an irie time with my Ras bredren smokin some herb, and as i mentioned i stay at the YMCA alot of different people, and i was high in my room and this demon came in my room from my neighbor, i know him, and it was just wicked what the demon was doing, i dont know if it was his spirit or his demon or his devil but i felt its force and it was doing wickedly! It was trying to stop me from praying, i still stayed prayerful, but i give thanks for the Good vibes between me and the Ras but theres just wicked people everywhere, when shall we conquer these evil forces? I tried to pray for him, then i just got tired for him and prayed for Jah to destroy his evil works, its frustrating, just some giudance, one love

I and I know it is hard to keep a prayerful meditation when wickedness suround the I Young Lion and bless the I for keeping the meditation.

As for how to conquer that evil, Ark I made a reasoning that Iman regard highly about Internal fire to burn wickedness out of the self called Fire is Good.
(Apologies for the poor link though. I'm no good at this http thing.)

I and I sight that there is little to be done to fight the wickedness of others but to burn wickedness out of Iself wherever I and I find it and do good works wherever the I has the opportunity. Set an example to those who still embrace wickedness within themselves and the I might see some of that wickedness melt away.
At the same time, the I has to be carful about the company the I keeps. Sadly, Iman lack much contact with other Rastafari people and so I trod alone for now but the I has friends who hold the same meditation as the I and that can be supremely helpful. Not to say the I should burn out all friends who don't trod Rastafari, but if the I spends more time around those people who hold a good meditation and don't go down into wickedness it will do great things for the I. Burn out those who drag the I down like this neighbor the I mentioned who trys to interupt the I meditations.

Blessed love and guidence in the I trod Rasta.
