Principles of the Kingdom - Introduction

"The kingdom of heaven is like...", said Jesus many times as he taught the crowds in parables. The secrets are revealed even to the young and the simple if they have ears to hear what the Spirit of God is saying. God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. Humility comes from wisdom, all of which comes from God. Abiding in Christ Jesus and His words in us, we bear good fruit of the Spirit that lasts forever. He has much more to say to us as the Holy Spirit will continue to reveal to us if we do not harden our hearts.

The kingdom of God, it is within you, in your midst, Christ in us the hope of glory. We have this treasure in earthen vessels. The hidden riches in secret places are nations and kingdoms waiting to be filled with God! Jesus must be Lord of all. The elements and nature desire to rejoice in the light of the Lord, and we are His body in the Earth. We are the light of the world because Jesus shines through us and we abide in Him.

While the evil seek darkness for fear their deeds will be exposesed, the righteous shine like the dawn ever brighter until fullness of the day. Jesus is coming back soon for a church without spot or wrinkle.

How to Open/Dismantle Your Nikon D3200 and Clean the Viewfinder

Image
Nikon D3200 I was at the beach shooting beautiful scenery when I stepped into the deep and got water inside my camera's viewfinder. I put my camera, lens and all, in a bag of rice for the next 12 hours to soak up any moisture. By the time I got home, the water was dried, but there was crust inside the viewfinder! This is a guide to help you find the hidden screws and open up your Nikon D3200 with relative ease so you can clean your viewfinder. As always, read the disclaimer before proceeding. Disclaimer: This how-to guide should not be followed by anyone who has anger issues, is clumsy, or is not familiar with tinkering with delicate electronics. By even attempting to follow this tutorial or open your camera, you not only risk voiding your warranty, but you also agree that you are solely and absolutely responsible for any damage caused to your precious camera. I cannot and will not be held responsible for what you do . Now that the legalities are out of the way...

What the Bible says about Sexual Purity

God created sex for marriage between one man and one woman, for life. The devil has been trying to pervert it in every way possible, and the scriptures warn us that sin, although it is pleasurable for a season, when it is full grown it leads to death. Scripture specifically calls out homosexuality as an abomination, and Jesus in Matthew ch 5 calls out lust in the heart as bad as actual adultery. God wants us to live, and only in Christ is there life. We need Him every day to help us walk by the Spirit instead of the misdeeds of the flesh, being cleansed by Him and abiding in Him. Galatians 5 16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh. 17 For the flesh craves what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the flesh. They are opposed to each other, so that you do not do what you want. 18 But if you are led by the Spirit, you are not under the law. 19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debaucher...

Disable Windows 10 Fast Start Up to Access UEFI Bios, Boot to Alternative OS etc

My troubles began on my Dell XPS 8500 with the Windows 10 update this fall of 2019. Fast Start Up was enabled once again... preventing me from accessing my Bios settings or booting to my Linux OS that I had just installed on a separate drive. Like most recommendations, I already tried the "Disable Fast Start Up" in Windows 10 power settings (choose what the power buttons do), but my Dell would not boot to Bios even with all hard drives physically removed from the PC! I even tried removing excess RAM sticks. Tapping F2 or F12 did nothing. Here's how I fixed it. TL;DR solution: If the above does not work, try a different keyboard. This was my main problem! Disable Fast Start Up in Windows 10 "Choose What the Power Buttons Do" options. Unplug all external USB hard drives / thumb drives. My bios was trying boot from those and stopped booting. Tap F2 or F12 as soon as you power up / boot up the PC, like you're starving at a vending machine. Holding the key...
